No lunch until you finish writing! Lead the villain! Ye Hao!

“Hao Hao~ Hao Hao~ woo woo woo~♡”

“Yao Yao-jie, didn’t we agree to sleep properly? I have school tomorrow, so please behave a little, okay?”

Forced to hold Luo Yao, Ye Hao watched Luo Yao curl up in his arms and feel a headache coming on.

“Yes yes, we’ll sleep~”

After turning and wrapping her arms around Ye Hao’s neck, Luo Yao became the octopus again, locking Ye Hao firmly in her embrace.

Ye Hao: …

There was no choice.

Looking at the face so close, Ye Hao could only carefully wrap his arms around Luo Yao’s waist and turn slightly to the side.

Although he couldn’t accept that Luo Yao liked him, in a sense, at least for this last month or so, if someone else came to confess, he could refuse with a clear conscience.

But it’s so embarrassing!

How could he tell someone that his girlfriend was actually his sister?

My sister is a brother-obsessed weirdo who likes me, so what does that make me? Sister-obsessed?

Honestly, he didn’t even know what to be obsessed with.

He didn’t particularly like or hate anything.

If anything, he hated frivolous, flirty women, the kind that made him feel disgusted just by looking at them.

“Big sister loves Hao Hao the most~”

“Sleep, or else don’t come over again…”

Whether Luo Yao could actually fall asleep or not he didn’t know, but Ye Hao certainly couldn’t sleep.

Especially while holding a beautiful woman like Luo Yao — how could he possibly sleep?

But he had to sleep, because there was school tomorrow and classes to attend.

Wasn’t Yao Yao-jie really, truly not afraid he might do something excessive?

What a stupid sister!

Feeling the pressure on his chest and the subtle sensation from her thigh, Ye Hao obediently lay still, protecting Luo Yao’s potentially awkward sleeping posture in case she rolled off or kicked him in her sleep…

In the middle of the night, after Ye Hao gradually fell asleep, Luo Yao — pretending to sleep while lying in his arms — finally opened her eyes.

“Hao Hao~ you really are a naughty child~”

She secretly nibbled his earlobe…

The next day.

“Hao Hao! Wake up! You’ll be late for school!!!”

Early in the morning, wearing a pink apron and holding a long spoon, Luo Yao burst into Ye Hao’s room.

Seeing Ye Hao still sleeping soundly, Luo Yao puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

“Really…”

“Hao Hao~ if you don’t get up, big sister will use a special wake-up method~” She brushed her hair back, revealing a delicate face.

Just as Luo Yao was about to succeed, Ye Hao — who always woke up naturally — suddenly opened his eyes.

“!!!”

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!

Just as he opened his eyes, Ye Hao saw that delicate face lean toward him.

“Yao Yao-jie! What are you doing this early!” He quickly raised his hands between them and panted.

Too scary!

“Eh, Hao Hao is awake, what a pity…”

No, why are you acting disappointed!?

After snapping back to reality, Ye Hao looked at Luo Yao in her lounge clothes with a pink apron and felt a flash of brightness — she was so pretty…

Ptooey ptooey ptooey!

So early in the morning, what on earth are you thinking!

Boys are just impulsive in the morning.

“Hurry up and get up, you still have school, Hao Hao~”

“…”

At the mention of school, Ye Hao fumbled for his phone.

Seven o’clock?

It’s only seven…

Wait…

“Oh my god!! I’ll be late! Yao Yao-jie, you go out first, I’ll change and come down!”

Seeing Ye Hao panic and scramble, Luo Yao covered her mouth and laughed happily.

Hao Hao is so cute~

Ye Hao’s mental state collapsed completely.

This was not just about being cute anymore; this was the kind of thing that would get Officer Jiang to call him into the office for tea!

That woman already disliked him.

If he was late again, he was done for!

Completely done!

It was like high school again when bad student Ye Hao was punished for being late and then bullied and bossed around by that woman.

Since that time, Ye Hao had never been late again.

But today, because the college entrance exams were approaching, that woman required everyone to report to class by 7:20, which delighted the boarders, but for commuters like Ye Hao it was a nightmare.

He hadn’t had time to run in the morning these days, and things were piling up.

After hurriedly dressing, he ran into the bathroom to wash up.

“Hao Hao, lunch is already in your backpack.” Seeing Ye Hao rush downstairs, Luo Yao patted the backpack containing only the lunch box.

“OK! No time, I’m heading straight to school, bye!”

Grabbing a sandwich and milk, Ye Hao slung on his backpack and ran out.

There was no time for porridge or anything else! He’d always been indifferent about breakfast anyway.

Watching Ye Hao sprint away, Luo Yao rested her cheek on her hand helplessly.

“He still hasn’t grown up at all, like a kid.”

Don’t be late!

No!

He couldn’t be late!

Being late was the worst; standing punishment wasn’t so bad, but being bossed around by that vicious woman made him uncomfortable all over.

Finally, at the last moment, sprinting all the way, Ye Hao arrived at class.

“Huff…”

“Ye Hao?”

That vicious woman!

“Teacher Jiang.”

“Unfortunately, you’re late. Go sit in your seat, come to my office after class.”

Ye Hao: …

No way! Not again! There was some inexplicable traffic jam on the way, what could he do!

He should’ve been there five minutes earlier, but the jam blocked everything!

“Ye Hao, are you okay?” Li Mengying asked, a bit worried watching Ye Hao’s dazed look.

“I’m fine…”

He was fine now, but later might be a problem.

That vicious woman would probably make him run errands, fetch tea and water again!

No way! Ye Hao hated being bossed around; it was killing him!

As Ye Hao sat down, a small paper ball rolled to his foot.

Picking up the paper and looking around, Ye Hao noticed Liu Qianxia secretly looking back at him.

Liu Qianxia? What’s she doing?

Did she throw that paper ball?

“Hmm? Is something wrong?” Seeing the elegant handwriting on the note, Ye Hao looked up at Liu Qianxia’s curious gaze…

Actually, Liu Qianxia cared about Ye Hao a lot.

She knew what would happen if Teacher Jiang caught him; she had once made that mistake herself.

Although classmates called Teacher Jiang affectionate names to her face, privately they called her a devil.

In her eyes, Ye Hao was still that honest fool who prioritized study over his health — adorably simple.

Although she no longer needed to prepare his lunch especially, the thought still left an emptiness in her heart.

But…

[When we get into the same university, you’ll be my boyfriend, okay?]

The same university, that’s easy!

Under Ye Hao’s careful tutoring, she was no longer the failing student she had been.

Now her grades were right behind his.

Winning Ye Hao was a sure thing.

She had liked Ye Hao since they first met.

Although he had turned her down using study as an excuse, she wasn’t the first girl to try and fail — she was the only one who kept persisting.

She sent subtle hints, asking Ye Hao to tutor her, because if they could get into the same university, they could go get the little red book together later.

As for Li Mengying…

In Liu Qianxia’s impression, Ye Hao disliked that eccentric young miss, so there was no arrangement there.

So after all these years, she was the only one who had an arrangement with Ye Hao.

Go for it!

That was her situation.

Seeing the late Ye Hao and knowing Teacher Jiang had caught him, she was anxious.

Who knew how Teacher Jiang would punish him?

Seeing Ye Hao’s calm expression, Liu Qianxia breathed a little easier.

Only when he picked up the note, glanced at it, and then smiled and shook his head at her did she relax.

Ye Hao, who was always early, was late today — that alone seemed suspicious.

But since he said everything was fine, she probably just overthought it.

Sitting in his seat, Ye Hao stared at the ceiling lost in thought.

Rather than thinking, it was more like contemplating life.

He hadn’t had time to eat the sandwich or milk, so he took the milk from his bag and drank while listening to Teacher Jiang.

As the lecture went on, Ye Hao suddenly felt something off.

She can lecture all she wants, but why keep looking at me?

Teacher Jiang clapped on the podium, and then a petite figure entered.

“Hello everyone, I’m Yuan Yuan. For the rest of the term, I’ll be studying with you!”

Still the same lively sprite, still that playful voice.

No way! I thought this was a joke; that person acts so fast!

I thought you were joking, but you actually did it.

But… why is this person wearing the boys’ school uniform today?

“Okay, Yuan Yuan, find your seat.”

Ye Hao: a feeling of dread rose in his chest!

“Haozi!”

Seeing Ye Hao sipping his milk and looking over, Yuan Yuan waved cheerfully.

“Fine, we’ll put Yuan Yuan with Ye Hao at one desk, go down now.”

“Okay!”

Seeing Yuan Yuan run over toward him, Ye Hao’s nerves collapsed further.

No way, sir! How am I supposed to concentrate with this guy next to me? This fool will try to pull me into playing during class!

This is not acceptable!

“Haozi! Ta-da~ surprise~”

Ye Hao: “…” (covers face)

Honestly, Ye Hao really didn’t want to sit next to this mischievous guy; sometimes he wanted to punch him.

Watching Yuan Yuan sit beside him making faces and winking, Ye Hao thought: since you’re here, at least listen to class properly!

Ye Hao took out a notebook, flipped through a few pages, then opened a brand new exercise book.

Got nothing to do?

Fine! I’ll give you work to do.

I’ll set questions, you finish them, and if you don’t finish, no lunch for you!

Today I, Ye Hao, will be the one to lead the villain!
