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

Jiang Chen gently pinched Yan Xiaonuo's bouncy baby face and said tenderly:

"Xiao Nuo, I'm sorry, I was so busy yesterday... I forgot to ask you what talent you awakened..."

Yan Xiaonuo chuckled and shook her head. As she shook her head, the red ribbon behind her swayed gently.

"It's alright, Master. I know you're busy."

As she spoke, Yan Xiaonuo shared her talent information.

【All-Round Maid】(S-Rank)

① Passive effect: Attack power, constitution, defense, agility, and spirit attribute points are increased by 2.

② Active effect: Consumes a large amount of mental energy to immediately remove all negative statuses (slow, poison, attribute reduction, stun, etc.) from yourself and your teammates, and grants immunity to all control effects for the next 3 seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds.

③ Active effect: Consumes a large amount of mental energy. When a teammate suffers fatal damage, you can teleport in front of the teammate to block the damage for them. You will also gain 50% damage reduction. Cooldown time: 60 seconds.

Tang Yan, the little koi fish, was originally slumped in her chair eating lime-flavored potato chips, but after seeing Yan Xiaonuo's talent, her eyes lit up and she immediately sat up straight:

"Wow! Xiao Nuo has a really good talent!"

"Our team just happens to need someone who can remove crowd control effects, and Xiao Nuo's cleanse is even an area-of-effect cleanse!"

"Combined with the [Uncrowned Flower]'s effect of reducing talent and skill cooldowns, and also restoring mental energy, wouldn't Yan Xiaonuo be able to continuously cast group purification?!"

Lan Xingyao interrupted at this moment (not the kind of interruption, you bastard!):

"Xiao Nuo can still protect us from one fatal blow."

"Does that mean that as long as Yan Xiaonuo flashes to block the ultimate and Bai Nuonuo shouts 'Don't die!', we're basically invincible?!"

"Oops~! I was too powerful by accident, I'm so sorry!"

As Lan Xingyao was speaking, she suddenly stood up, exaggeratedly raised her hands high, turned around, and shouted to everyone:

"I have something to announce: I'm stupid..."

"Pah! Pah! I misspoke!"

"Yan Xiaonuo is like a heifer sitting on a landmine—absolutely awesome!!!"

Seeing her older sister acting crazy again, Lan Xingwan quickly grabbed her favorite staff, stood up, and walked away. She didn't want to sit with her idiot older sister anymore.

Hey sis, who are you? I don't know you!

Lan Xingwan didn't want Jiang Chen to see her as an idiot; she just wanted to look completely bewildered—note that this isn't an adjective!

Lan Xingyao didn't mind her younger sister leaving at all.

She touched her chin, then suddenly raised her index finger, giving a look of sudden realization:

"I wonder if feeling tired from work counts as a negative state?"

As she spoke, Lan Xingyao put her hand on Yan Xiaonuo's shoulder and winked at her:

"Xiao Nuo, if you could remove the negative effects of being exhausted, would I be able to be as awesome as the class monitor and instantly gain 360 free attribute points?!"

As Lan Xingyao spoke, she raised the back of her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth:

"Hehe! Just thinking about it is amazing!"

Lan Xingwan, who had been sitting comfortably elsewhere, suddenly jumped up after hearing her older sister's words, grabbed the Elemental Archmage's Staff, and ran to the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind her...

As for why he was holding the Elemental Archmage's Staff, maybe it was getting dirty and needed to be cleaned?

Lan Xingyao chuckled. She knew her little sister had gone to play Valoran again, but she didn't know what she had said that had offended her. Oh well, whatever. Anyway, her little sister was a stream of consciousness; she could just imagine it.

Auntie covered her mouth and chuckled at Lan Xingyao's words.

When she first joined, she wondered why there were always people in the first-floor restroom, and why they always stayed inside for a long time.

Later, after Ye Xiaoqi revealed the truth, it was discovered that the two twin sisters were actually experts in Valoran.

My shy younger sister likes to play "hitting tiles" in the bathroom.

The bold older sister simply watched as Jiang Chen played a few rounds of Valorant.

My aunt still doesn't know how Lan Xingyao managed to play the tile-breaking game while wearing jeans...

She herself can only play a few rounds of tile-themed games while wearing yoga pants...

However, my aunt also really likes the twins; with them around, the atmosphere on the bus is noticeably more lively.

Jiang Chen was already immune to Lan Xingyao's flirtatious remarks, and he was used to Lan Xingwan frequently running off to the bathroom...

Without batting an eye, he took out two [Talent Purification Cards].

Jiang Chen looked at the [Talent Purification Card] in his hand and handed one to Yan Xiaonuo:

"Xiao Nuo, using this card will consume a lot of your mental energy."

Yan Xiaonuo did not refuse and used the talent purification card directly.

The card, which was glowing with purple light, turned into a burst of purple light and merged into Yan Xiaonuo's body.

She would only agree to anything Jiang Chen asked, no matter what he asked her to do...

Even if it's Jiang Chen's sleep talking, Yan Xiaonuo will do it without hesitation.

Yan Xiaonuo obediently nodded to Jiang Chen:

"Master, now when I remove negative status effects from everyone, I won't need to expend a lot of mental energy."

Looking at the obedient little maid, Jiang Chen smiled and pinched Yan Xiaonuo's cheek again.

Yan Xiaonuo moved her face closer to Jiang Chen, making it easier for him to pinch her cheeks.

"Master, thank you... I can do it for you..."

Before Yan Xiaonuo could finish speaking, Jiang Chen pressed the pad of his index finger against her lips:

"Didn't I already say? We're all family. What do we do as family?"

Yan Xiaonuo's face inexplicably turned red. She nodded and used a joke that Lan Xingyao often used:

"good..."

Jiang Chen was taken aback at first, then shook his head helplessly.

He knew that Yan Xiaonuo liked him, but Yan Xiaonuo didn't know how to express her feelings.

Teacher Wen, Ying Feixue, and Ruan Ningshuang express their affection by increasing their own attributes, leading Yan Xiaonuo to believe that liking her master is the same as increasing her master's attributes.

But Jiang Chen knew that this was wrong; liking someone didn't necessarily mean you had to increase your attributes.

"Xiao Nuo, if you want... you can come find me."

"But... liking someone doesn't necessarily require that..."

Yan Xiaonuo didn't understand and looked up at Jiang Chen with a blank expression.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen patiently explained:

"Liking someone is like cooking. Adding soy sauce can make the dish taste better, but the dish isn't primarily made up of soy sauce. The ingredients are the most important, and you can add oyster sauce, chili sauce, or other seasonings."

Jiang Chen gently placed his hand on Yan Xiaonuo's head and said with a smile:

"Liking someone is pure; there's nothing you have to do. Just looking at them makes you happy..."

"Right? Xiao Nuo?"

Yan Xiaonuo nodded as if she understood, her light green eyes sparkling, and she didn't care about her hair being messed up by her owner.

She was carefully considering what her master was saying.

It seems that's really the case.

From a young age, she always liked to quietly watch her owner.

No matter what its owner is doing, it makes the child happy and gives it a sense of security whenever it sees him.

This must be what liking someone is...

The girls then started making a fuss:

"Wow! The sports committee is so good to Xiao Nuo! First an S-rank weapon, then an S-rank talent, and now a talent purification card! What girl wouldn't be tempted!"

"Don't even mention Xiao Nuo, I'm smitten too... I really want to marry the sports committee member! I really want to have his babies! Oh my gosh~! So embarrassing..."

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Yun Qianqian smiled gently and nodded, her black, waterfall-like hair swaying softly, emitting a faint fragrance of gardenias.

She agreed with Jiang Chen's younger brother's words: liking someone is very simple and doesn't need a reason.

That's just how she is; she's happy just looking at her younger brother, Jiang Chen.

The aunt looked at Jiang Chen's handsome profile and listened to his gentle words.

A slight smile played on her lips as she chuckled softly and scolded:

"You little rascal, you're still so good at sweet-talking girls."

"He's handsome, caring, and incredibly good at sweet-talking people—it's unfair!"

"My best friend, how did you manage to give birth to such a wonderful guy?"

Bai Nuonuo sat to her aunt's left, hugging her teddy bear and swinging her white cotton socks that barely touched the ground. She wasn't wearing little leather shoes.

Bai Nuonuo turned her head to look at her aunt in confusion.

After seeing the little angel's puzzled expression, the aunt sighed, lay back, and looked at the slightly swaying car roof.

My aunt raised her right hand and spread her five fingers:

"Nuonuo, you and I are all lucky because Xiaochen likes you."

"Liking someone is indeed very simple and pure, but making that person like you back is difficult!"

The wind blowing in from the window ruffled my aunt's long red hair. She suddenly clenched her fist, her voice tinged with sadness:

"If you want someone to like you back, you have to fight your way through a sea of ​​enemies!"

"But most likely, you'll just be that nameless nobody who dies along the way..."

"The other party... wouldn't even bother to glance at you..."

My aunt's lips curled into a slight smile:

"Fortunately, we didn't have to fight our way out..."

"Xiao Chen smashed through the bloody path, then waited for us at the finish line with open arms..."

"very nice..."
