"I love seeing awful adults make such wonderful expressions. It's so funny."
Ye Qingliu slowly approached the dean, his eyes smiling like a crescent moon. But in the eyes of the old dean, this innocent smile was undoubtedly the most terrifying.
"Stop wasting time and talking to this bad old man."
Hua Jinyue knocked the dean unconscious from behind with a stick, and then went to the database to destroy all the information about them.
Hua Jinyue looked at the unconscious dean, and her disgust deepened. When she was about to strike back, Ye Qingliu saw through her intention and said, "That's enough."
