Chapter 8 Domineering School Prince's Wet Love 08 My little tail...you...
The next morning.
"Classmates, please be quiet for a moment." Mr. Wang, our homeroom teacher, knocked on the podium, and the noisy Grade 2 (3) class finally quieted down. He announced loudly, "Today we welcome a new student, Su Xiaoxiao. Welcome everyone!"
Amidst the sparse applause, a girl with long, straight black hair and thick bangs was standing timidly beside the podium.
She lowered her head deeply, twisting the corners of her clothes with her fingers. Long-term experience of school bullying made her instinctively resist all gazes. Even when she came to a safe new environment, she just wanted to find a corner to hide herself.
The curious, scrutinizing, and disdainful looks from her classmates made her shrink even more. Just as she was about to collapse under this invisible pressure, her gaze strayed to the corner by the window in the last row of the classroom.
There... sat a figure who was also "isolated".
His light blond hair still looked like a handful of soft wheat ears in the sunlight filtering through the stained glass window. He didn't look around curiously like the others, but simply lowered his eyes quietly, concentrating on his open textbook, as if all the noise around him had nothing to do with him.
It’s the boy on the bus!
Last time, I forgot to ask for his contact information, so Su Xiaoxiao couldn't send him the finished work. I didn't expect to meet him here again...
After being stared at by that surprised gaze for a long time, Ye Ling seemed to sense something. He raised his head and looked over with those clear hazelnut eyes.
There was no disdain, no inquiry, no malice. Just a pure, animal-like calm and gentleness.
It was this one glance that gave Su Xiaoxiao immense courage. When the teacher asked, "Student Su, where do you want to sit?", she mustered all her strength, raised her hand, and pointed to that corner, her voice soft but remarkably clear:
"Teacher... Can I, can I sit there?"
The whole class was in uproar! That "plague area"? Next to that "freak"? Is this new kid okay?!
In the crowd, Jiang Lian's expression changed slightly, but his eyebrows raised slightly.
He remembered the girl.
On the bus that day... Ye Ling smiled at her with an especially bright smile.
Now, she suddenly transferred to Ye Ling's class and asked to sit next to Ye Ling?
As he changed his mind, the corner of the textbook in Jiang Lian's hand was crumpled by him.
Teacher Wang was also stunned for a moment. He looked at Ye Ling who was so quiet in the corner that she seemed to be non-existent, and then looked at Su Xiaoxiao who was almost shaking with nervousness. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, there's an empty space next to Ye Ling. Ye Ling, take care of the new student."
Ye Ling was completely confused. She just looked up out of habit, so how did she attract the heroine?
[778! Is this… is this considered automatic plot progression?] He wondered inwardly as he watched the frail girl, her backpack clutched, head lowered, walk quickly to the empty seat next to him, as if traversing a minefield, amidst countless strange glances, and sit down.
[Uh…] 778 pondered for a moment, the AI's powerful logic allowing it to logically connect all the unexpected events. [Host, you're already the invisible person being excluded in this class. The heroine sitting at the same table with you will only draw the bullies' attention! Then the hero's 'hero saving the damsel' scenes will naturally fall into place!]
For the first time, the single table became a double table, and the air was filled with a slight awkwardness and more novelty.
In a good seat in the middle of the classroom, Jiang Lianji gripped a ballpoint pen tightly, enduring the pain. He didn't turn around, but simply took in the harmonious scene in the back row from the corner of his eye.
The new transfer student sat down right next to Ye Ling, with only a narrow aisle between them. Ye Ling seemed a little uneasy, moving slightly closer to the window. But when the new student looked at Ye Ling, the faint but real light in his eyes...
Jiang Lian's eyes sank instantly, like a deep, cold pond.
[Host! The hero is looking over here!] 778 keenly sensed that dangerous gaze. [The plot is progressing very smoothly! We even have an unexpected bonus. It seems the hero is upset that you and the heroine are sitting too close~]
Ye Ling not only followed and secretly photographed someone, but also ate their snacks and lunch. He was already feeling guilty. Hearing 778 say this, he immediately buried his head deep in the book.
"Student Su..." During lunch break, Ye Ling saw Jiang Lian leave, so she mustered up the courage to move towards Su Xiaoxiao and asked tentatively, "Are you interested in swimming?"
Su Xiaoxiao raised her head, her clear eyes under her bangs showing a hint of panic and joy: "Huh?... One thing, I used to be a volunteer at the competition site." She didn't expect Ye Ling to take the initiative to talk to her.
"That's great!" Ye Ling seemed to have found a breakthrough, her eyes lit up, and she tried to make her words sound reasonable. "Our school's swimming team is amazing! Especially... Jiang Lian! He's not only the school hunk, but also the ace of the swimming team! But he's extremely focused during training and needs an absolutely quiet environment."
He paused, throwing out the bait, "But... if you want to know more, I can take you to observe the training? Just... watch from a distance, so as not to disturb them!"
He nervously observed Su Xiaoxiao's reaction, his mind racing: [System! Look! I'm creating an opportunity! Let them have a romantic encounter at the swimming pool!]
Su Xiaoxiao hesitated, but looked at Ye Ling's sincere and pleading eyes. Although she didn't quite understand why he was so persistent in showing her around the swimming team, that look made it hard for her to refuse. She nodded gently, "Okay, thank you, Ye Ling."
So, Ye Ling held his pervert diary tightly in his pocket like a treasure, and with the nervous Su Xiaoxiao, the two of them tiptoed to the high and empty stands of the swimming pool like agents carrying out a secret mission.
The huge swimming pool rippled with emerald green water, and the scent of disinfectant mixed with the scent of hormones filled the air. The sound of splashing water, the coach's whistle, and the shouts of the players intertwined.
Ye Ling tried hard to play the dual roles of "matchmaker" and "pervert". He pretended to open the small notebook and held the pen seriously:
"13:30 Target enters the water with minimal splash (Perfect! God descends!)"
"13:35 Target Freestyle (Powerful! Muscles toned... slurp)"
When he came to the word "slurp", he cautiously covered his notebook and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao beside him. Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao was a girl with a good sense of propriety. She was watching the swimming practice attentively without looking away.
As Ye Ling wrote, she explained the protagonist's charm to Su Xiaoxiao beside her: "Look! That's Jiang Lian! The one swimming in the front! He has great explosive power, a strong waist, and good endurance. At last year's city games..."
His eyes were fascinated by the agile figure in the swimming pool.
When Jiang Lian completed a beautiful turn and broke out of the water, water droplets rolled down his cold, white and tight back muscles, reflecting dazzling light like broken diamonds. Ye Ling's breath was choked and the words in his mouth were stuck. He completely forgot that there was a heroine next to him who needed him to promote.
[Host! Female lead! And the female lead! Stop playing the pervert and drooling! Explain it to the female lead! Praise the male lead! Make the female lead's heart flutter!] 778's mind was spinning with anxiety.
Jiang Lian had just completed a wall-pushing turn, but after a few meters, the smooth rhythm of the movement showed a very subtle pause.
He was acutely aware of two new gazes from the stands. One... tinged with timid curiosity, belonged to the new transfer student.
And the other one...
That familiar, sticky gaze that was hot and could almost penetrate the water...
He took the opportunity to take a breath and quickly glanced at the stands. It was indeed Ye Ling. Not only did he come alone, he even brought Su Xiaoxiao with him.
The two sat side by side, Ye Ling holding a notebook, as if saying something to her, her mouth opening and closing, her smile shy and timid.
A nameless anger suddenly rose in my heart.
Jiang Lian's breathing suddenly became disordered, his body swayed violently in the water, and his balance was almost lost.
He has never made such a stupid mistake.
“Crash!”
He suddenly raised his head from the water, pulled off his goggles, and his cold and sharp eyes shot straight at the stands!
That look accurately captured Ye Ling's momentary panic when she was caught peeking at him. The little notebook almost slipped out of her hand and her face turned pale.
He didn't say a word, but the oppressive feeling of his gaze made Ye Ling feel that the air around him was freezing.
[Did he... discover something?] Ye Ling felt uneasy.
"It's okay! The hero is like this most of the time, with a cold, sour face, and only shows a little tenderness to the heroine..." 778 soothed, "The story has just begun, and the hero's resentment towards you is not deep yet, don't worry."
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Lian put on his goggles again, but his movements were filled with an inexplicable ruthlessness.
From then on, every stroke of his arms was filled with a force that could break everything, and every kick of his legs splashed huge water. His speed was faster than before, and his momentum was more ferocious. The whole swimming pool seemed to be churning because of him.
The imprisoned beast in the deepest part of my heart was struggling and roaring frantically, and the chains that bound it were already in danger:
'Who gave you permission to bring her here?'
"My little tail... your eyes should only be on me."
'Who allowed you to smile at others!?'
"Ye, Ye Ling..." Su Xiaoxiao was frightened by Jiang Lian's cold glance and the frantic training that followed. She leaned towards Ye Ling nervously and asked in a low voice, "Is Jiang Lian... unhappy that we're watching?"
Ye Ling could only force a smile and stammered, "No? He... when he's training, he's like this... He's very dedicated... Yeah, yes, dedicated!"
But in her heart, she was wailing like crazy: [778! He seems really angry! Was my peeping too obvious? Is he taking his anger out on the heroine because of me?]
[Hmm…] 778's electronic voice sounded somewhat unsure. [Shouldn't…? After all, this is only their first official meeting! Host, you're overthinking it. Who is the heroine? She's his life, his everything, his special case! At most, he'll be mad at you, jealous of you, and then torture you mercilessly once he exposes your perverted behavior! !]
Severe...torture?
Ye Ling: “…”
Far from being comforted, he shuddered violently.
