I'm just a lackey of a prestigious academy, why do they all kiss me?

As soon as Jiang Wo touched that warm skin, she was so frightened that she immediately let go.

He wasn't really comfortable with physical contact with strangers, which made him feel offended.

"Are you alright?" the man asked, his voice gentle and warm.

Jiang Wo couldn't see who was standing in front of him, and he wasn't familiar with the voice either, so he just shook his head slightly.

"Are you looking for something?" the man continued to ask.

"Yes, my glasses fell off," Jiang Wo answered softly.

"Do you need my help?" Lian Chuwu looked at the glasses right next to her feet, but instead of immediately squatting down to pick them up, she asked gently.

Jiang Wo nodded, a grateful look on her face. "Thank you. My prescription is very high, so I can't see very clearly. It's really kind of you to trouble you. It's a round-framed black pair of glasses."

Lian Chuwu picked up the glasses at his feet, put them in his pocket, waited a while, then stood up and said to the boy in front of him, "Are you sure they are round-framed black glasses? I don't think so."

Jiang Wo widened her eyes slightly. "I was wearing it just now, it only fell off after the water was splashed on it."

"Don't worry, there's a green belt nearby. Maybe the water pressure was too high and washed your glasses into there. If it were outside, it would be easier to find, but there are too many plants in that jungle, and it might take a while to find your glasses."

Jiang Wo didn't have much of an impression of the environment here, and upon hearing this, she asked somewhat anxiously, "Then what should we do?"

He also had to buy afternoon tea for His Highness Innaheng, and if he was late, His Highness Innaheng would definitely be angry.

"How about this?" Lian Chuwu kindly suggested, "I happen to know the owner of an eyeglasses shop on campus. I'll take you there. They have a full set of professional equipment and can make a new pair in half an hour."

When Jiang Wo heard that she had to make something new, she immediately shook her head.

Every penny he spent was spent on something, leaving him no spare money to buy a new pair of glasses. Moreover, everything at school was expensive, and he had to carefully consider even the cost of a meal, let alone order glasses from a high-end optical shop.

"The student who splashed water is my friend. He originally intended to play a prank on me, but he didn't expect to cause trouble for innocent people. I'm sorry for dragging you into this. I'll also give you a new pair of glasses, okay?"

Lian Chuwu's voice was gentle and soothing; it seemed to have a natural, captivating quality, and when he spoke in a gentle, flowing manner, he could easily disarm people.

"But it's too expensive, I..." Jiang Wo instinctively wanted to refuse.

He was only splashed with water, it wasn't a serious injury, and it was just playful banter between classmates. He wasn't paying much attention to the road conditions around him, which is why he got wet. It can't be entirely the other party's fault. Jiang Wo doesn't think it's right to accept such an expensive apology gift for no reason.

"Just agree. If you don't, I'll feel guilty and sleepless at night. I might even become depressed because of it," Lian Chuwu said sincerely.

Jiang Wo never expected that this matter would have such a big impact on him. The other party's tone was very honest and did not seem to be joking or lying at all.

How can someone be so kind? Just because he accidentally splashed water on a classmate, he became so sensitive and thoughtful.

Jiang Wo didn't want to hurt him, but he couldn't accept expensive gifts from others for no reason; nobody's money comes from thin air.

Moreover, Jiang Wo didn't know the other party's identity. If he was just a poor person who came from the lower city district like him, even if he knew the owner of the glasses shop, the price would definitely not be much cheaper.

Therefore, Jiang Wo offered a compromise suggestion, "Let's split it 50/50." Then, somewhat embarrassed, he added, "But I don't have much cash. Can I pay in installments with the shop owner?"

As he spoke, two blushes appeared on his face, as if he felt somewhat embarrassed and ashamed because he was short of money.

Lian Chuwu laughed, her fox-like eyes curving slightly. "How about an 80/20 split? I'll pay 80% and you pay 20%. We can pay in installments. Don't refuse. If you refuse again, I'll get really sad."

He was too sensitive and fragile, and Jiang Wo really couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she could only stammer, "Okay, alright, thank you for your trouble."

"No trouble at all." Lian Chuwu naturally took his hand. "You can't see very clearly, let me lead you. By the way, what's your name?"

Jiang Wo stopped struggling instinctively and answered his question, "My name is Jiang Wo."

"Jiangwo? The snail from the little snail?" Lian Chuwu asked.

Jiang Wo has recently been asked a rare increase in whether he is a snail. In all his years, this is the first time he has encountered so many people who misunderstand his name.

This is quite normal, though. He hadn't encountered many people asking his name before, but recently there have been more.

"It's not a snail, it's the 'lettuce' in 'lettuce'," Jiang Wo patiently explained softly.

"Lettuce? I quite like it," Lian Chuwu said with a smile.

Jiang Wo thought she had met a kindred spirit, and smiled, saying, "Cold lettuce salad is delicious."

Lian Chuwu paused, then turned his head to look at the shallow dimple on Jiang Wo's right cheek that appeared when she smiled, and murmured softly, "But I prefer to eat it stir-fried."

"Yes, it tastes great stir-fried too," Jiang Wo agreed.

Lian Chuwu chuckled softly, but said nothing.

Jiang Wo thought he was happy because he mentioned his favorite dish. Sensitive people are like that; as long as something touches their hearts, they will show obvious sadness or happiness.

This further confirmed Jiang Wo's inner guess: the person she was talking to was a sensitive and kind-hearted person with a delicate mind.

Lian Chuwu took Jiang Wo to a retro-style glasses shop on campus.

After explaining her purpose and needs, the staff quickly arranged for Jiang Wo to have her eyes examined and began making glasses.

As Lian Chuwu said, the glasses were completed half an hour later.

After Jiang Wo put on her glasses, the world suddenly became clear.

He finally saw clearly what the man who brought him to the glasses shop looked like.

Even though he didn't care about the events on campus, he still made sure to learn about the various social strata of the school beforehand, as well as the children of the powerful and wealthy who were absolutely not to be trifled with, in order to ensure his own safety.

St. Eton College is divided into four tiers, and the badges on the uniforms are different for each tier.

The very last layer is for poor students like Jiang Wo and others who passed the exam; their school uniforms have badges with grass totems.

The third tier consists of the middle class, who constitute the largest group on campus. Their school uniform badges feature tulip motifs.

The second tier consists of those centuries-old wealthy and powerful families. Their school uniform badges feature a rose totem. Currently, there are only two people in this tier within the academy: one is Sith Liu, the young master of the Sith family, and the other is Lian Chu Wu, the young master of the Lian Chu family.

The first tier consists of those who wield power that can influence the safety of the empire. Their school uniform badges feature a violet totem, and only two people in the entire academy possess this totem: He Zhiyun from the military and his elder brother Ying Naheng.

The second level is not much different from the first level, except that the direction of the power they control is different, but their influence should not be underestimated.

Now, in Jiang Wo's clear vision, he could see the man standing in front of him clearly. He was Lian Chuwu, one of the most popular figures who frequently appeared in the campus weekly.

Jiang Wo felt her heart pounding wildly.

This is the second of the four "crematoriums" in the legend of pursuing the protagonist Shen Chuyan, and it's Young Master Lian Chuwu.

After swallowing a few times, Jiang Wo felt a little weak in the knees. Even though he thought the other person was a very kind person, he secretly didn't want to have too much contact with the male protagonists of the manga who would have a future catastrophe.

As for Prince Innaheng, he already has the punishments of being turned into a pig's head and disemboweled. If another person is added to the list, he will surely die a miserable death.

"What's wrong? You don't look well." Lian Chuwu frowned and asked with some concern.

Jiang Wo subconsciously took two steps back to avoid his outstretched hand. Realizing that his reaction was too strong, he quickly explained in a very soft voice, "Young Master Lian Chu, my face was wet just now, so it might be a little dirty."

"Are you feeling a little cold?" Lian Chuwu seemed to have misunderstood, so she took off her coat and draped it over Jiang Wo with a slightly forceful air. "Will this make you feel better?"

Jiang Wo dared not say anything negative; he didn't even dare to take off Lian Chuwu's clothes.

Because this would make him seem particularly ungrateful, and even if Young Master Chu were rejected, someone as sensitive as him might feel sad or angry.

"I have some urgent matters to attend to. I pay for the glasses on time every month." Jiang Wo paused, observed Lian Chuwu's expression for a moment, and then cautiously asked, "Young Master Lian, may I leave now?"

Lian Chuwu was very understanding. He nodded, gentlemanly opened the door, and said gently, "Of course, if you're in a hurry, you can go ahead and do your own thing. You can pay for the glasses at any time."

Jiang Wo bowed to him gratefully and said sincerely, "Thank you, Young Master Lian Chu."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Lian Chuwu stood behind the door, watching the boy run away.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of very old, round-framed glasses, which he then played with with great interest on his fingertips.

"How can someone be both stupid and smart... and strangely cute?"
