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

... (omitted here for the sake of this article's survival)

Innaheng's Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and he shifted his gaze uncomfortably to the side. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Indeed... you've gained a little weight."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you do this to just anyone, showing your legs to everyone?"

Following Inaheng's orders, the boy, who was still sitting on the sofa with his legs drawn up, quickly shook his head upon hearing this, "No, that's not it."

Because His Highness Innahun is his elder brother, according to the rules of the underworld taught by his master who brought him into the sect, the younger brother must always listen to his elder brother.

We must strictly obey our elder brother's words, whether they are right or wrong, whether they are strange or not.

Jiang Wo now belongs to His Highness Ying Naheng's camp, so naturally she must obey His Highness's orders unconditionally.

The other people weren't his older brothers, and besides, his social circle was practically nonexistent; he didn't even have many people he could talk to, so it was highly unlikely that he would encounter such a situation.

"...You mean, only for me to see?" Inna asked.

Jiang Wo thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Prince Ying Naheng said. That was the rule in the underworld, so he nodded slightly.

Inna caught a glimpse of his actions out of the corner of her eye, and felt a pang of longing, but still felt unsatisfied. So she asked, "Is your cute mouth just for show?"

Jiang Wo looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Inna clicked her tongue, then commanded, "Nodding won't do; you have to speak. Say it completely. Who is your part meant to be shown to?"

Jiang Wo didn't really distinguish between nodding and speaking, but since his elder brother had given the order, he obediently complied and replied seriously, "My legs are only for Your Highness to see."

As she said this, her slender fingers unconsciously gripped her leg, and some of the slightly plump soft flesh spilled out from between her fingers. Because she had used some force, the places where they touched were already a little red.

Innaheng was finally satisfied. He raised one corner of his mouth, not even knowing what he was satisfied with, but he was in a good mood.

"Good, very obedient." Inna praised him, seeing that he was still obediently hugging his legs without his own orders, looking so docile that he seemed to be able to be bullied at will without fighting back.

Inna couldn't resist pinching his cheek. "Always remember this, okay? Okay, you can put your legs down now."

Jiang Wo nodded and loosened his grip on his legs. He didn't get enough exercise, and just holding his legs for a short while made his arms feel sore.

He straightened his clothes and got up from the sofa.

He was about to grab the shopping list to buy afternoon tea for His Highness Innaheng when, before he even set off, Innaheng's slightly cool voice came from behind him, "Silly snail, have you forgotten something?"

Seeing Jiang Wo's puzzled look, Ying Naheng, feeling kind, took the initiative to remind her, "Didn't I tell you that you should say thank you every time you do something for me? Where was your thank you after you looked at my legs?"

Upon his reminder, Jiang Wo remembered that His Highness Prince Ying Naheng seemed to have such a rule.

All his underlings had to abide by this rule. For example, when he fed Prince Innaheng a piece of candy last time, Prince Innaheng informed him of this rule, and even Prince Innaheng's confidants could not avoid it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wo pursed her lips and added her words of thanks, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"What are you thanking me for?"

Jiang Wo blinked, and said slowly and uncertainly, "...Thank you, Your Highness...for looking at my leg."

"Hmm." Innaheng calmly agreed in a low voice. Then, he finally took pity on Jiang Wo, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, remember that from now on. Don't always make me remind you. Now you can go about your business."

Jiang Wo felt like he had been granted a pardon. He grabbed his shopping list and hurried to the campus supermarket to buy afternoon tea.

After everyone left, Inna lay half-reclined on the sofa.

He casually covered his face with the shirt that had been washed and returned to him, and after a while, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This silly girl, how can she smell so good!"

……

As Shen Chuyan said, a basketball game was indeed organized during the last physical education class in the afternoon.

Two different classes were fighting, and Shen Chuyan appeared in the team formed by their class.

Jiang Wo sat in the far corner. Only their class's team had appeared on the basketball court yet; the other class hadn't shown up. Shen Chuyan, like the other team members, was doing warm-up exercises.

Because she doesn't like sports, Jiang Wo rarely watches these kinds of sports competitions.

Normally, if the school organizes such competitions, Jiang Wo would either sit under the shade of a tree with her books to study, or practice some physical education items for the final exam, in order to ensure that she could get a high score in physical education on the final exam.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time he had ever sat in the stands at a match.

Humans always have a positive and novel feeling when trying something for the first time.

He had never served water to anyone at a basketball game and was unaware that there was bottled water specifically provided for the players.

He filled his thermos with purified water from the classroom water dispenser, intending to give it to Shen Chuyan during the break.

But when he actually arrived at the venue, he found that the team members were drinking unopened bottled water that had been specially prepared for them, and no one was drinking water from their thermos cups.

The team's bottled water was placed in the front row of the audience seats, so he might not be able to get it now.

Before Jiang Wo could even worry about delivering water, another class's team took the stage.

The leader had a very strong presence. As soon as the team entered the arena, almost instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to the boy at the front.

The commotion was quite significant, and Jiang Wo naturally noticed the newly entered team.

To his surprise, the class they were playing against was actually Prince Inaheng's class.

The person walking at the very front of that group was none other than His Highness Prince Innaheng.

As Jiang Wo was staring at Ying Naheng, Ying Naheng's gaze happened to meet at the same time. The two looked at each other, and Ying Naheng seemed somewhat surprised to see him in this place.

However, he was always calm and composed. He only paused for a second before regaining his composure. He smiled at Jiang Wo, said a few words casually, and then looked away and entered the venue.

Because Jiang Wo had new glasses, which were much better in both prescription and quality than his old ones, he could clearly see Ying Naheng's lips.

The two words he said were "idiot".

Shen Chuyan didn't understand either. Jiang Wo was sitting so far away, yet he noticed her the moment she entered.

Naturally, he also witnessed everything that happened after Innaheng entered the venue.

Ying Naheng had barely appeared when she instantly captured Jiang Wo's attention.

Before this, Jiang Wo's attention had been entirely on him...

Shen Chuyan lowered her eyes, a fleeting look of displeasure and annoyance passing through them.

What an eyesore!
