Beautiful and awesome

In the following days, Lin Xue went to the St. Ria Library. Before the start of the semester, he wanted to experience the pleasure of reading leisure books in the library.

He chose a novel called "DouDou's Puppy," which tells the story of DouDou, a poor little boy from a single-parent family, who finds an ugly, sick puppy and does everything he can to heal it and protect it from the bullying of malicious boys. Finally, an apocalypse occurs, many people perish, but DouDou, protected by the monster the puppy has transformed into, lives a happy life.

In the story, DouDou is rejected by everyone and treated like an unwanted puppy, being moved from one family to another; the same goes for the other dogs. Yet in the end, this person and dog, both unwanted by society, survive to the end in the apocalypse.

In the end, DouDou's monster puppy transformed into a handsome man, watching his little master sleep peacefully in the candlelight.

But he cannot be by his young master's side as a man.

Because he knew that his little master was a straight man and wouldn't like him.

He also didn't want his little master to walk such a difficult path, to be discriminated against and hurt by others.

He didn't want to put his young master in a difficult position.

The monster puppy can only keep its secret forever.

I just want to be a little dog, someone who can always stay by his side.

As long as I can protect him, that's enough.

The last paragraph: DouDou is drawing on the drawing board, and the man in the drawing looks exactly like the handsome man that the monster puppy has turned into.

The last page of the book features an illustration in a child's drawing style:

The handsome man carried Dou Dou in his arms, while Dou Dou held the dog leash around the man's neck. Both of them were laughing happily. They held a wedding that only they acknowledged in the blood-soaked apocalypse, with countless corpses as their witness.

The lovestruck puppy finally got to see its owner.

We have all been abandoned by the world, but we need each other.

Confused and insecure little dog, if you take one step closer to me, I will take the remaining ninety-nine steps closer to you.

After finishing the novel, take a sip of Shilan's specialty hot cocoa.

In Bain, where Shilan lives, the most popular drink in the city is hot cocoa in various flavors.

On the first floor of St. Leah's Library is a school-run bar, where young employees are working frantically.

The school offers students a wide variety of hot cocoa, including flavors such as rose, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, chili, cantaloupe, chestnut, and taro.

Having a drink before studying may not fill your brain with knowledge, but it certainly will with fat.

To refresh herself, Lin Xue chose mint-flavored hot cocoa, which tasted a bit like toothpaste, or perhaps like Tiger Balm.

However, the cocoa tastes exceptional; it's Ecuadorian Arriba Nacional, with a rare and delicate floral aroma. This type of cocoa bean is scarce and of the highest quality.

Shilan is world-renowned for its chocolate manufacturing industry and is also known as the "City of Romance".

In the early days of the People's Republic of China, there was a deeply moving legend—

At the beginning of its founding, Shilan fought a war with a neighboring country over land.

A soldier on a distant expedition was accidentally shot.

Upon hearing the news, his wife, in her anxiety, took a bite of Shilan chocolate, and two wheels of fire immediately appeared beneath her feet, allowing her to arrive beside her beloved.

The husband was bleeding profusely from his neck and was already beyond saving.

Before he died, he left a message: "I want to eat Shilan chocolate one more time."

The wife pulled out a large bar of chocolates from her otherworldly pocket—a bar she somehow had on her person—and, with tears welling in her eyes, broke off a small piece and put it into her husband's mouth.

After the husband ate the Shilan chocolate, his wounds healed immediately. He then unleashed his inner power, transforming into a war god and slaughtering the enemy nation.

After reading the legend, Lin Xue immediately sent a message to the chairman: What did you add to Shilan chocolate?

The chairman replied instantly: Indian God Oil. (A type of Viagra)

Accompanied by a friendly smile ^ v ^

Because of Shilan's chocolate culture, Saint-Lia's Chocolate Valentine's Day is also particularly grand.

I've only just arrived, but there are already quite a few people in the bar discussing how to give chocolates this year in a way that's considered high-end, classy, ​​and sophisticated.

Last year, a nobleman gifted a star student a chocolate villa.

"Someone confessed their love in front of the mint-flavored blue chocolate sauce fountain that he had his men dig."

"Someone delivered a truckload of chocolate roses."

"Someone even sent a swimming pool full of chocolate sauce so that their favorite celebrity student could take a lava bath."

"The quantity and quality of the chocolates received are important factors in the competition among star students to sell their products. They all pretend not to care, but actually take photos and compare with each other."

"The way you give chocolates is a contest of wealth and imagination. The extravagant gifts from suitors are a source of pride for star students."

The Cocoa Plantation was playing on the public TV screen in the bar.

Many children, barely a few years old, worked 12 hours a day in unbearable heat to collect cocoa pods, earning only £2 a day and suffering from wage arrears by plantation owners. Large numbers of children died from heatstroke in the sweltering heat.

Sitting in the bar, enjoying the air conditioning and drinking iced cocoa, the special admission students watched TV, laughing and mocking the stupidity and apathy of the child laborers who didn't go to school. They even felt that the cocoa, which tasted of "inferior people's" blood, was more delicious.

Before the official start of the semester, Lin Xue familiarized herself with the courses and textbooks.

In the first semester of St. Leicester, the first few months are dedicated to general courses for new students.

Give students enough time to make a decision, ask senior students for advice, attend various lectures, and then choose a major.

St. Leeds' general curriculum differs from that of regular high schools. Required courses include literature, mathematics, science, geography, politics, history, philosophy, theology, Latin, Greek, music, art, physical education, information and communication technology, drama, and design.

Because the general course only lasts a few months, the schedule is extremely tight, with evenings filled with classes.

Classes are held every day from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The remaining time is used to complete heavy assignments for students.

The St. Les Riss Library was still brightly lit at four in the morning.

General course grades are not only an important basis for future university applications, but also affect the success rate of applying for majors. Therefore, even if you are admitted to St. Lyonnais, you cannot relax.

Lin Xue flipped through the book and realized she already knew it all, so she put the book down when she got tired and started playing on her phone.

Theme: The welcome party is about to begin!

I saw that the nobles have already started organizing a welcome party, and all the new students will be invited to attend.

At the party, everyone can wear their own clothes.

I'm so conflicted, what should I wear?

These are some of my clothes. Can you guys help me decide which one looks best on me?

[Figure 1][Figure 2][Figure 3]

Don't worry, you won't look good in anything.

—I heard that the nobles have already read through all the self-introductions that freshmen submitted when applying to St. Leah.

—Ugh, so embarrassing! I hadn't even washed my hair!

—I feel like the process of selecting concubines after seeing the official photos and self-introductions is a bit like a 101-style talent show.

——+1

—Who hasn't seen Lin Xue's self-introduction yet? It's so cute!

Compared to others, she was clearly an amateur, her eyes darting around. Even those who knew how to look at the camera could tell she was forcing a calm demeanor.

Only Lam Suet was truly composed; she seemed born for the camera.

The proud and beautiful Queen Cat knows she is beautiful and allows the camera to capture every angle of her, from every angle without any blind spots.

He's incredibly beautiful, and he's looking at me.

—I wonder if the chairman was shocked by his good looks when he watched his self-introduction video.

—Definitely. The relationship between the chairman and Lin Xue is almost turning into Lin Xue ruling from behind the scenes.

If you had told me that there was no connection between Yin Tianxing and him last time, I really wouldn't have believed it.

——Requesting a video of Olaf introducing himself! (1563 replies)

—I've been at St. Leeds for several days now, and life here is really great! Each floor of the dorm has a common room, and I've met many students from other classes. It's just that the pressure is immense.

—Does anyone know why nobles call their welcome parties "Welcome Carnival Night"?

Subsequent replies all tacitly skipped this step.

The timing of the welcome party was extremely arbitrary and unreasonable.

Because the new students had other commitments on registration day, and after the start of the semester, they had classes all day, the nobles scheduled the welcome party between registration and the start of the semester, taking up the new students' precious rest days.

Unfortunately, freshmen are not allowed to voice their objections or be absent.

It is said that the new students who were absent in previous years were subjected to long-term attacks and retaliations from the noble supporters.

The welcome party started at 8 a.m. and ended at 8 a.m. the next day, a full 24 hours, without a break.

Daytime activities were relatively normal.

Midnight. As the clock strikes midnight, the New Year's Eve celebration begins.

The huge hall, with its closed doors, confined all the students in a closed space, like prisoners on a secluded island.

The nobleman stepped onto the stage and began his speech: "New lambs, from today onwards, we will teach you how to survive in Saint-Lya."

The wolves, who had been lurking during the day, finally revealed their true colors.

A freshman, his white shirt soaked through, crawled on the ground like a dog.

The upperclassmen behind kept kicking the freshmen's butts: "Didn't you eat? Hurry up!"

A freshman was forced to lick the dust off a senior's shoes.

Several senior students jokingly threw the freshmen into the trash can, took photos of the pile of fruit and vegetable leaves falling on their heads, and laughed heartily.

Some popular freshmen would team up with upperclassmen to bully those freshmen of lower status.

Those close friends who had met and been inseparable during these past few days immediately revealed their true colors in the face of this real hardship.

They would stab their friends in the back just to get forgiveness from the senior students.

The resentful gazes coiled like spiderwebs, yet the traitor stood tall.

Everyone is going crazy.

Some people were angry, while others vented their frustrations.

Yufa went to stop him, but the old man hysterically said, "You only see me bullying people."

"Why didn't you come when I was being bullied?"

"Why didn't justice come when I was being bullied?"

"Just when I'm finally able to bully others, justice will come knocking on my door?!"
