Xu Ling looked at the reliable, obsequious man with icy eyes.
Although she had passed the point of anger and her emotions had deflated like a balloon punctured by a needle, she still felt something stuck in her throat, something she couldn't swallow or spit out.
She just can't learn to behave!
This is the umpteenth time I've been scammed like this by a reliable company!
Every time, they would suddenly unleash a powerful move when she was caught off guard, leaving her almost completely bewildered!
A faint resentment suddenly rose in Xu Ling's heart, but it quickly subsided. This was because she also knew that the responsibility couldn't be entirely shifted onto Kaopu.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh in frustration.
To put it bluntly, it's also her own irresponsibility; she always just listens to what reliable people say without ever getting to the bottom of things.
Every time she got scammed, she never secretly resolved that next time, she would be more careful and ask questions from beginning to end to make sure it was reliable. But... every time, she actually dared to do it again!
Using the reason that "she was also at fault" to convince herself, Xu Ling's expression finally relaxed, and her eyes were no longer as cold as before. As if venting her anger, she hugged Kaopu and began to abuse him mercilessly.
Only when the reliable creature cried out in pain did she finally take pity on it and let it go.
"Alright, let's do it your way!" Xu Ling stroked the reliable cat's head, brushed its fur, and seriously discussed it with it, "But... Reliable, can you be more reliable next time?"
Reliable: ······
Enraged, he brandished his arms and shouted, "How have I been unreliable?! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even know where Ruth went!"
She relies on it for everything, yet blames it for everything. Why can't she be more self-reliant?
Originally, it was a little embarrassed by its own unreliability, but seeing Xu Ling like this, it felt extremely aggrieved. It didn't want Xu Ling to groom it anymore and jumped back onto the desk without saying a word.
Kaopu opened the window in front of the desk and left the room without thinking.
"Xu Ling, I hate you!"
The words still lingered in the bedroom, not yet gone. The adorable Abyssinian cat that had just been trying to please her had vanished without a trace.
Xu Ling stood there, stunned.
We've argued about this many times before, but this is the first time. She didn't even argue back; she just left without looking back.
Are you really angry?
Xu Ling stared at the empty window, tilting her head in confusion. A gentle breeze slipped into her bedroom, carrying a hint of early autumn coolness.
After closing the window, Xu Ling didn't pay much attention to what had happened to Kaopu.
Although this time it was indeed a bit unusual, maybe it's just another reliable way of arguing?
Thinking that things would return to normal in a couple of days, Xu Ling put the matter aside for the time being.
Sitting at her desk, she picked out the homework from the past few days from the pile of books stacked to the side.
Xu Ling had been considering leaving for several days. She thought she would leave after discussing it with Kaopu today, and as for the homework, there was no need to continue.
Now that she'll be staying here for a while longer and classes have to continue, she can't afford to fall behind on her homework any longer!
—Her reputation was already somewhat tarnished; if she doesn't complete her assignments diligently, even her teachers might perceive her character as deteriorating further.
She didn't want to add any more trouble to an already difficult mode, turning it into a hellish start!
Xu Ling was doing her homework diligently. It has to be said that, unlike before, there was so much more hands-on homework now!
Each item had to be carefully prepared and meticulously added, without the slightest distraction. As a result, she didn't even notice that it was already dark and Kaofu hadn't returned.
Xu Ling thought that no matter how angry Kaopu was, given their interdependent relationship, she would be fine after a day or two.
To my utter surprise, almost seven days have passed this time, and Kaopu still hasn't come back!
No, it doesn't count as not coming back. Occasionally, Xu Ling could still see it pacing around in the living room, but as soon as she went downstairs, it would immediately disappear!
It was only at this moment that Xu Ling realized the seriousness of the problem.
Now it's her turn to think about how to appease the reliable one!
However, the prerequisite for appeasing her is... how can she find someone reliable?
Lost in thought about this problem, Xu Ling wandered alone in the academy, completely unaware that she had strayed off course from her way to class.
Because this class was a class that witches only needed to take in their first year, April, who was already in her second year, didn't need to go back to school to learn it again. So, Xu Ling was the only one walking to class, which caused her to go astray without anyone reminding her.
As Xu Ling continued to ponder a reliable method, she subconsciously relied on her somewhat unreliable memory to walk along the slightly familiar route to school.
The classroom quickly appeared in front of her. Xu Ling glanced at it casually, looked at the door number on the classroom door, and then looked down to compare it with the classroom number she had written on her timetable. After confirming that she had not gone to the wrong place, she immediately pushed the door open and entered.
Then... Xu Ling's action of pushing the door stopped abruptly.
Completely different from the slightly gloomy and dark atmosphere created by the witch's classroom, the moment she opened the door, only bright and warm light unceremoniously enveloped her entire body.
Something's not right!
This is not a classroom for witches at all!
Xu Ling was startled and only had time to glance around before she quickly pulled her cloak tighter and pulled the hood up over her head.
In fact, Xu Ling was not a timid or cowardly person, but because of her long-term interactions with the witches, she had unconsciously become accustomed to their deliberately created gloomy and dull demeanor, and even subconsciously imitated it.
So much so that now, she instinctively shrinks back when she suddenly sees a stranger.
The classroom remained quiet, exactly as it had been before Xu Ling barged in.
If she hadn't caught a glimpse just now and clearly seen that the entire classroom was packed with people, she might have believed without hesitation that there wasn't a single person in the classroom at all, given how quiet it was!
