Chapter 348: Studying Together
"Mingxiao?"
Anno looked at the person in front of him with some surprise.
Normally, her family members would take turns guarding the vicinity of the academy, but they would rarely appear unless something happened. The academy's security measures were also very good. With the extra core on Anno's body, even if the academy were bombed to the ground, she would be safe.
So she also gives her family members time off so they can do what they like, but they still have to take turns working.
Mingxiao helped Anuo put on her backpack and said to her in her mind, "Your Highness, don't worry, I'm disguised, no one will notice anything."
Anno looked him up and down and smiled, "You really are the one who looks most like a student."
Even if the Zerg characteristics were concealed, these eight members would still stand out in a crowd, let alone among a group of students.
Mingxiao was rather thin. Although he was tall, Tianyun people were generally tall. Mingxiao was delicate-looking, and once his insectoid features were hidden, he didn't look out of place among the group of Tianyun students. He looked like a student with superpowers.
Mingxiao said happily, "Then I can often accompany Your Highness to study in the academy."
This means I need to get student status as well.
Anno thought for a moment and decided that it would be good to give Mingxiao a student status. The different family members had different strengths. At home, Bazel and Baiyan would spend more time with her. They were the best cooks and took care of her daily life.
Tanville is very intelligent and often reads books with her. After each boring theory class, Tanville would review the material with her when they got home. Obsidian, because of her personal abilities, likes to create various items and assemble models. She usually spends more time at home with her playing with models and studying mechanical parts.
When she went out, Caesar and Secris accompanied her, while Poponia and Mingxiao, the two youngest, spent less time with her, probably because they were the ones being "bullied" by the others.
In that case, let's give Poponia and Mingxiao student status so they can come and go from the academy openly without having to take turns.
After receiving Anno's consent, Mingxiao was overjoyed and immediately asked Tanwell to handle the matter.
The other members of the family didn't say anything on the surface, but they had all sorts of ulterior motives in their hearts. They never expected that Mingxiao and Poponia, who had the least presence, would have the most opportunities to accompany His Highness. What a blunder!
With more than an hour to go before the evening test class, Anno decided to go back to the classroom first and review the content and notes from the last lesson.
Mingxiao followed her into the classroom.
The classroom where the theory class was held was empty as soon as class ended. Anuo found a seat and sat down. Mingxiao stood upright next to her, as if he were keeping watch for her.
Anuo thought to herself that if other students saw how they interacted, they might speculate about her identity. She came to Tianyun Academy because she wanted to study quietly and discreetly.
After thinking about what happened in the cafeteria today, she decided it would be better to go later in the future, or go to the private dining room.
She patted the seat next to her and said to Mingxiao, "Sit down."
Mingxiao immediately sat down obediently beside her.
After watching for half an hour, Anuo started yawning. She had a full schedule of classes today, and she had gotten up early to attend them. Knowing that she had another class tonight, she decided it was best to take a nap.
She told Mingxiao to wake her up when it was time, then fell asleep on the table.
Mingxiao relaxed his expression only after seeing that the young prince had fallen asleep. He wasn't usually this serious; he was just afraid of disturbing the young prince's studies.
After staring at her sleeping face for a while, Mingxiao also imitated Anuo's actions, lying on the table and looking at her with his head turned to the side.
After a while, he reached out and gently brushed the hair away from Anuo's cheek. He paused for a moment as he was about to withdraw his hand, and then, as if possessed, he poked Anuo's chubby cheek.
Realizing what she was doing, Mingxiao's eyes widened for a moment, and she hurriedly pulled her hand away as if she had done something wrong.
Seeing that Anuo was still sleeping soundly, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his fingers. The soft and warm touch was still on his fingertips.
He took a deep breath and placed the fingertip that had touched Anno on his lips.
He cursed himself inwardly, "Mingxiao! How dare you!"
Then, he lost heart.
Mingxiao, why are you so timid...?
If only we were as daring as Lord Vanguard...
Mingxiao stared at Anuo's face, a blush creeping onto his cheeks. He leaned closer and closer, stopping just before his eyes touched hers. Her face was inches away; if only he got a little closer...
Just as Mingxiao was having an internal struggle, Anuo's eyelashes trembled, and he immediately held his breath, not daring to move an inch.
After waiting for a while and seeing that Anuo hadn't made any move, Mingxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Anuo was woken up by Mingxiao five minutes before class started. Even if they took a vehicle from the school, it would still take ten minutes to get there. The total time wasted was more than ten minutes.
Fortunately, Mingxiao's abilities are speed and teleportation. Carrying Anuo, she arrived at the classroom in one minute at a speed Anuo could handle.
Upon arrival, Anuo did not rush to get off Mingxiao's back. She sensed that Mingxiao's consciousness was somewhat confused and looked down at him.
His cheeks were flushed, even his ears were red, and his heart was beating very fast.
"Your Highness... Your Highness, class is about to start." Mingxiao didn't dare to look at Anuo and stammered as he reminded her.
Anuo stared at his profile for a while, then said, "Mingxiao..."
"Your Highness, I was wrong!"
Before Anuo could say anything, Mingxiao quickly admitted his mistake. If Anuo hadn't been on his back, he would have knelt down.
"Your Highness...please don't send me back, I...I..."
He hesitated for a long time but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation. He was extremely anxious, fearing that Anuo would punish him and send him back.
Anno poked his face, "Then you'll be punished..."
Mingxiao's heart immediately jumped into her throat.
"I'm punishing you by making you wait here for me. You'll carry me back later."
Mingxiao was stunned.
Anno jumped off his back, pinched his still-burning cheek, and laughed, "Did you learn that from Caesar?"
Mingxiao stared blankly at her radiant smile and said, "No... it has nothing to do with Lord Vanguard. It's just that I wanted to... kiss Your Highness."
His voice grew softer and softer, and his head drooped, as if he knew he had done something wrong.
Anno reached out and patted his head. "You can't even hide your own thoughts. Aren't you stupid?"
Mingxiao looked up at her. "Your Highness, may this be our secret?"
It's a secret known only to the two of them.
