Survival in the Class: I'm the Only Boy on the Bus

Lan Xingyao and Lan Xingwan looked at each other.

Lan Xingyao chuckled. She understood; she understood everything.

It's just about seeking a different feeling, and it's not like she and her younger sister haven't tried it before.

Lan Xingwan's face flushed instantly. Listening to the faint sound of water coming from the bathroom, she couldn't help but recall the night the sports committee member had patiently taught her how to hold a knife, the palm of his hand against hers. At that moment, she had been completely stunned, her mind a blank...

Lan Xingwan couldn't believe it. In her mind, taking a shower was a very private matter. How could she not go back to her own bedroom and instead go to the shower room to take a shower?

Lan Xingwan naturally understood what her older sister was thinking, because she was thinking the same thing.

Lan Xingwan lowered her head shyly, clutching the white tank top in front of her with both hands, standing with her legs turned slightly inward. She murmured softly:

"No...that can't be, right?"

"Maybe my aunt is just like me..."

Lan Xingyao ignored everything else and headed straight for the last bathroom, which had its door closed.

"Let's go! We'll find out by listening!"

The sound of water splashing was still going on.

Lan Xingyao pricked up her ears and listened intently. Then, she suddenly turned to her younger sister and nodded frantically, as if she had discovered something truly astonishing.

Lan Xingwan was surprised and covered her mouth.

Lan Xingyao chuckled and gently knocked on the bathroom door:

"Auntie? Are you inside?"

There was silence in the bathroom for several seconds, but the sound of water grew louder; it must have been my aunt turning the showerhead to its maximum.

After a while, Qin Hongkou's voice finally came through the sound of the showerhead.

She was enjoying the rare moment of warm water when there was a sudden knock on the door. A little flustered and bewildered, her voice softened considerably, carrying a lingering tone:

"Ah!... Xingyao? Yes, yes... I'm taking a shower... um..."

Lan Xingyao and Lan Xingwan exchanged a glance.

The two sisters exchanged a knowing look.

My aunt was just taking a bath inside?

Why did the sports committee member lock the door in the room?

Lan Xingyao's wicked smile became even more pronounced.

Lan Xingwan's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head even further.

Qin Hongkou seemed to realize that her words wouldn't be enough to appease Xingyao and Xingwan, so she stammered and added:

"Hmm!...Xiao Chen...he's in his bedroom...working out...he doesn't like to be disturbed when he's working out..."

"Yes! This is it...like this!"

Lan Xingyao blinked, deliberately feigning disappointment for her aunt, and sighed:

"Oh! So you really are working out."

With that, Lan Xingyao picked up the nun cosplay outfit, turned around, and went into the bathroom next to her aunt.

Who would have thought that Lan Xingwan had the same idea?

In order not to disturb the girls taking a shower, the two sisters had no choice but to shower together again.

Lan Xingyao also deliberately turned the shower head up, as the two sisters wanted to take this opportunity to play Valorant.

The girls, clutching their chosen outfits, filed into the shower room. Some showered, others brushed their teeth, and none of them noticed anything amiss.

The two sisters were playing games a bit loudly, but everyone was used to it and didn't urge them.

The girls who came to take a shower came in batches, but my aunt still hadn't finished showering.

Lan Xingyao thoughtfully refilled her aunt's water with warm water.

Lan Xingwan stayed in the bathroom next door, only leaving because her older sister pulled her along...

(Due to the intervention of a mysterious force, your sanity has been deleted!)

Jiang Chen gently helped his aunt to bed and carefully covered her with a blanket.

My aunt had her hair down, but she had changed into another outfit: a peach-colored yoga outfit and a white backless sports vest, paired with black striped mid-calf white socks.

Seeing Jiang Chen's persistent smirk, the aunt stuck her foot out from under the covers and kicked him hard.

"You brat! Is that enough for you?!"

Jiang Chen saw that his aunt's face was still a little flushed, and he nodded honestly.

My aunt's lips also curled up.

She was very happy.

All those years of training Xiaochen to work out have finally paid off tonight.

This surprised her greatly.

As the aunt was thinking, she suddenly smelled something strange about Jiang Chen's blanket!

Jiang Chen's quilt already has the fragrance of roses from Lu Wanzhou, camellias from Ying Feixue, plum blossoms from Ruan Ningshuang, strawberries from Bai Nuonuo, and sweet white peaches from Tang Yan Xiaojinli.

Lan Xingyao and Lan Xingwan didn't crawl under Jiang Chen's blanket, so they weren't collected.

The aunt grabbed Jiang Chen's blanket in surprise and sniffed it carefully.

You little rascal, Xiao Chen!

So many girls have already crawled under the covers?

No wonder Xiao Chen's swordsmanship and physical abilities are so good!

It turns out we've already practiced this several times!

I wonder how my best friend will react when she finds out!

The aunt gave a seemingly gentle smile and waved to Jiang Chen:

"Come on! Sit next to your aunt."

When Jiang Chen saw his aunt's smile, he knew something bad had happened...

But he still obediently sat on the edge of the bed.

The aunt suddenly sat up, threw off the covers, and kicked Jiang Chen off the bed...

"Alright, alright! Be honest, how many combat experiences have you accumulated in the past two days?"

Jiang Chen got up and sat back on the bed.

He'd never really lost out to any girl, except his aunt...

There was no way around it; his aunt not only had a powerful aura, but she also held a lot of dirt on him from his childhood, like peeping at him while he was bathing...

Besides, Jiang Chen genuinely liked this aunt who wasn't related to him by blood, and he knew that his mother's best friend loved to be domineering, so Jiang Chen just went along with her...

Jiang Chen scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then honestly shook his head at his aunt who had raised her foot to threaten him again:

"I haven't counted..."

Auntie kicked Xiao Chen again, but Jiang Chen dodged her sure-win kick by shifting her buttocks.

The fragrance of his aunt, like the red rose of "Mr. Lincoln," wafted into Jiang Chen's nose.

The aunt knew that the boy was being naughty again, so she immediately pulled her foot back.

My aunt moved to the edge of the bed, her toes, clad in mid-calf white socks, lightly touching the floor.

The sound of cotton socks rubbing against the wooden floor was quite pleasant to the old man from the boat bar.

The aunt wrapped her left arm around Jiang Chen and ruffled his wet hair with her right hand. She picked up a hair tie from the bedside table and handed it to Jiang Chen.

"Come on! Help your aunt tie her hair. You're not bad at it, are you?"

Jiang Chen nodded, took the hair tie, and began to tie his aunt's hair into a high ponytail.

When he was a child, he was always his aunt's little shadow, and he often helped her tie her hair.

Because her aunt said that if she didn't help her tie her hair, she would tell Jiang Chen's mom about Jiang Chen peeping at her while she was showering...

Just then, a small pink head suddenly peeked out from outside the door. Haji Zhou walked up and was looking curiously into Jiang Chen's room.

The aunt quickly patted the mattress next to her:

"Young wife? Come, come! Sit next to your aunt, let's chat. Tell your aunt about your experiences these past two days."

Hajizhou sat obediently next to his aunt, who had her left arm around him and her right arm around Jiang Chen.

What a heartwarming scene...

...

They chatted for about half an hour, during which Auntie's eyes reddened when she heard about Teacher Fang, Wu Maiduo, and Wang Wushuang's experiences.

That's when she realized...

Why is that girl holding the long spear always hugging that candy jar?

Why was that girl, who was dressed in rather shabby clothes, constantly helping with the work?

The little girl hugging the teddy bear... it turns out her parents are already...

My aunt listened carefully to so many sad stories.

She suddenly realized that this team was actually quite good...

After hearing about Xiao Chen and his wife's experiences over the past few days, the aunt breathed a sigh of relief.

She patted each of their heads, revealing the smile typical of a boss:

"I didn't realize you'd been through so much! You've had a tough time!"

Haji-ju hugged his aunt tightly and refused to let go.

Jiang Chen smiled as he looked at the two of them, suddenly thinking that living with the girls like this wouldn't be so bad...

The aunt gently said something to her stubborn daughter-in-law:

"Alright, my little wife, I'll hand Xiao Chen back to you for the rest of the time..."

"Xiao Chen's...workout results are really good!"

Lu Wanzhou slowly released her grip on her aunt, blushing as she secretly glanced at the bratty Xiao Chen.

Jiang Chen nodded to her and lip-read her:

"Come?!"

Lu Wanzhou immediately raised her head arrogantly, raised her right hand, flicked her thumb across her nose, and lip-read back at Jiang Chen with an air of arrogance:

"Who's afraid of who!"

The aunt didn't want to disturb them any longer. She stood up, grabbed the clothes for Wang Wushuang, and left the bedroom, turning back to smile and tease them:

"Young man, be more restrained."

Lu Wanzhou shyly crawled into Jiang Chen's blanket and hugged her pillow.

Jiang Chen smiled and pinched Haji's cute cheek:

"Don't listen to your aunt..."

Haki, huddled under the covers, nodded...
