A little girl at a magic school, she's a goofy troublemaker who can do anything.

Li Wenyin's impression of Qin Guanyu mainly came from the novel.

He's a pervert who obsessively harasses the female protagonist, and I've heard that he's indeed obsessed with girls. He's strange and his attitude is exaggerated. After seeing it for myself, I feel even more that what's described in the novel is true.

But now she sees a Qin Guanyu in the student file who is completely different from what she imagined.

-

Qin Guanyu comes from a once-glorious magical family, whose signature magic is shapeshifting magic.

When Qin Guanyu was six years old, his parents divorced, and he and his sister were raised by their mother.

In his file, he recounted how he witnessed firsthand how difficult it was for his mother to raise him and his sister alone, how her hands, once used for folding flowers and polishing diamonds, became rough and calloused from the tedious housework and work.

Even with calluses, her hands were still beautiful, but her mother, who was once as innocent and carefree as a young girl, had aged considerably.

The mother said that even so, she never regretted divorcing the father.

Qin Guanyu made up his mind then and there that he wanted all girls in the world, like his mother and sister, to remain innocent and carefree forever.

When Qin Guanyu was twelve years old, his family was massacred by a dark sorcerer. His mother and sister were both dead, leaving him all alone.

Qin Guanyu, who survived, was adopted by a professor at the magic academy because he knew shapeshifting magic, which is why he was able to enroll in the magic academy.

He said he was incredibly lucky.

He said that he would have to live with the burden of his mother and sister from now on.

"It's shameful to say, and I feel guilty towards other wonderful girls, but when I help them, I always think of my sister."

"I wonder if my older sister would be as radiant as they are now if she grew up safely and healthily."

"It's such a pity that I couldn't become the knight who protects in the fairy tale back then."

When Li Wenyin finished reading, she saw a photocopy attached to the file, which was a group photo of Qin Guanyu and two women.

The woman smiled with an air of sophistication and elegance, while the girl, with her long, curly hair, grinned broadly.

Long, curly hair...

The female protagonist of the novel, Si Weilan, has long, curly hair!

-

Seeing Li Wenyin remain silent for a long time with a blank expression, Yu Chiquan tapped the table lightly with his finger and said softly, "The school will conduct a background check before enrollment, so you can rest assured that the file is authentic."

Li Wenyin's expression darkened.

She wasn't doubting the authenticity of Qin Guanyu's backstory, but rather because it suddenly brought back vivid memories of Qin Guanyu's scenes in the novel.

The reason why Qin Guanyu is considered a perverted man who is obsessed with the female lead is because the female lead, Si Weilan, discovers that Qin Guanyu is always sneaking around and following her at school.

Then he started being nice to her for no apparent reason. When Si Weilan asked him why, Qin Guanyu would always blush and say, "I don't ask for anything in return," which was extremely suspicious.

Until one day, Si Weilan got lost alone in the Misty Forbidden Land. In the silent forest, a series of hurried footsteps followed Si Weilan, which frightened her quite a bit.

Si Weilan ran in a panic, and fell to the ground because she was running too fast. She looked back in fear and vaguely saw Qin Guanyu's figure reaching out to her.

At this moment, the male protagonist, Shi Yanche, appears.

In a clichéd hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario, he used magic on Qin Guanyu without hesitation to repel him, and then comforted the frightened Si Weilan.

This was originally just a minor climax, a satisfying scene in a novel where the relationship between the male and female leads intensifies.

Looking back now, Li Wenyin feels somewhat sad.

If he merely saw a resemblance to his sister in Si Weilan, harboring some tender feelings of longing and worrying about her venturing into the Misty Forbidden Forest, then he...

No, that's not right. This part of the novel is entirely from Si Weilan's perspective, described very vaguely and glossed over. It's just the most stereotypical perverted stalker, at least that's what Si Weilan thinks, and that's what Li Wenyin thought before too.

However, upon calm reflection, the novel's perspective is limited. Does the concept of "tracking" truly exist? And what is the situation from Qin Guanyu's perspective?

Was the hurried footsteps Si Weilan heard earlier in the Misty Forbidden Forest from Qin Guanyu?

Or rather, why did the male protagonist, who suddenly appeared like a divine soldier descending from the heavens and rescued the damsel in distress, know that Si Weilan was in the Forbidden Forest? Why was it such a coincidence?

Li Wenyin even wondered if, apart from the Misty Forbidden Forest, Qin Guanyu was really "following" Si Weilan at other times.

Si Weilan questioned Qin Guanyu about why he was so nice to her, but because she was afraid, she didn't tell him to "stop following me." Whenever they met from afar, she would run away as if she were in a misty, forbidden forest, without explaining the situation or giving Qin Guanyu a chance to explain.

They often met in the same school, and his advances were merely "unrequited." Apart from the Misty Forbidden Forest, they never had any "alone" time together. Qin Guanyu did nothing, but only suspected that he had ill intentions.

-

Finally, the author did not describe whether Qin Guanyu ever left the Misty Forbidden Forest. As cannon fodder who helped the male and female protagonists develop their relationship, he completely disappeared from the novel afterward.

However, could a student who was not even in the third grade at the time, without anyone accompanying him, without the magical abilities that the male and female protagonists had, really manage to get out of the Forbidden Forest of Mist by himself, and even after being beaten by the male protagonist?

It's certainly good to be vigilant and cautious. It's fine to make malicious assumptions about others in order to prevent yourself from getting hurt. But isn't it also a kind of evil to think that you can harm others just because of some unfounded and inconclusive speculations?

Li Wenyin was sad.

Even she herself had preconceived suspicions about Qin Guanyu.

He hasn't done anything to me yet.

Qin Guanyu's file shows no criminal record; on the contrary, he has a long list of good deeds and merits, and there are many letters of recommendation recommending him to become a member of the student council.

-

You look terrible.

Yu Chi Quan spoke softly, which brought Li Wenyin back to her senses.

She looked at him with a pained expression, pouting.

Li Wenyin thought that if the student council president hadn't helped her as soon as he appeared, she probably would have thought that the president was the kind of sinister and terrifying villain described in the book.

"President... I did something wrong..."

She looked at Yuchi Quan helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Yu Chiquan walked over and put his hand on her head. "When you burned down the library, cut up the school flag, and created campus ghost stories before, you didn't seem this remorseful."

Her embarrassing past has been dug up again. Li Wenyin sniffed awkwardly and coughed twice, making it up out of thin air.

Sigh, at least let her feel sad and sentimental for a bit. President, really...

Yu Chiquan asked her gently, "Do you feel guilty for believing some rumors and misunderstanding Qin Guanyu?"

"...Hmm." Li Wenyin lowered her head and picked at her fingers.

"It's not too late to go out now," Yu Chi Quan reminded him with a smile, "You didn't do anything to him."

Li Wenyin's neck stiffened again.

Yes, a novel is a novel, and this is the present.

Qin Guanyu hasn't entered the Misty Forbidden Forest yet, Si Weilan hasn't enrolled in school, and Li Wenyin and Qin Guanyu haven't officially met.

Everything can change for the better!

Let her change the future!

Not only my own future, but also the future of all the important people around me.

Yu Chiquan could clearly feel Li Wenyin straighten up again with his hand on her head.

He smiled and withdrew his hand, watching the girl quickly say "Thank you, President" before running away for her life.

Should I tell her?

Running is prohibited in the student council building; Li Wenyin has probably really gotten into trouble this time.

-

After a day of doing good deeds, Qin Guanyu went to the Obsidian Academy teaching building one last time before returning to his dormitory.

He has a good relationship with many students, but he rarely talks to his fellow teachers. He hasn't been able to meet the new female student today.

Qin Guanyu wondered if he had done something wrong.

Pushing open the classroom door that belonged to them, three points of starlight suddenly lit up the dimly lit classroom.

With Li Wenyin at the center, Mu Feng and Pei Yuan stood on either side behind her, holding wands with glowing tips, their movements perfectly synchronized.

This is a spell taught in the basic spells class these past few days: a light spell. It basically makes the tip of a wand emit light, serving as a form of illumination.

Qin Guanyu was stunned.

"What are you doing...?"

Li Wenyin: "Shh."

She raised her wand and counted down: "Three, two, one!"

Let's start dancing.

Li Wenyin stood in the center position, with two people beside her following her movements to accompany her.

She waved her wand, which glowed like a fairy wand, serving a certain stylistic purpose.

Li Wenyin closed her eyes, opened them, and danced with complete absorption. The dance looked strange, not belonging to any particular genre, and the movements were not large, but it was vivid and interesting.

This is a DIY dance piece that Li Wenyin improvised, which she named "Apology Dance".

The pale and weak words still cannot fully express Li Wenyin's deep feelings of gratitude and remorse for Qin Guanyu's experiences as a student.

Enough said, it's all in the dance.

The three of them danced in unison in the dark classroom, waving glowing magic wands, completely stunning Qin Guanyu.

Finally, the dance ended, and the classroom lights came on.

Li Wenyin bowed to take her leave.

Mu Feng covered his bright red face: "What am I doing...?"

Pei Yuan's face was numb: "It was all Li Wenyin's idea; I was forced into it."

Qin Guanyu watched with great enjoyment, clapping and praising, "Amazing! Amazing!"

Li Wenyin tugged at them both: "There's one more thing. I'll count to three, two, one, and you all say it together."

"Do you really want to tell me...?" Mu Feng looked at Li Wenyin with a flushed face.

Li Wenyin replied without hesitation, "Of course!"

Pei Yuan had already given up resisting: "Then come on."

Qin Guanyu, being very respectful, held his breath and waited attentively.

Followed by.

Three, two, one.

Li Wenyin, Mu Feng, and Pei Yuan simultaneously reached out their hands to him and shouted loudly, "The seven-day period has ended! Congratulations to Qin Guanyu on his discharge from the hospital! With the Dragon King's return, at your command, we will be ready to give our lives for you and rush to the battlefield without hesitation!"

Qin Guanyu: "?"

It feels like I just left the school hospital and then went to a mental hospital.

-

With their stunt, anyone who wasn't a social butterfly like Qin Guanyu would have been screaming and running away, toes curled up on the ground.

After the performance, Mu Feng covered his face and groaned, while Pei Yuan sighed and rubbed his forehead.

Only Li Wenyin, with her shameless and fearless spirit, could answer Qin Guanyu's questions normally.

"What a magnificent performance!" Qin Guanyu clapped enthusiastically, then looked over curiously. "Xiao Yinyin, can you tell me why you did this?"

Li Wenyin confessed that the three of them had been following him that day, and also frankly admitted that she had previously suspected Qin Guanyu of being a perverted freak.

Then she explained that the dance she had just performed was an "apology dance".

In her closing remarks, Li Wenyin said, "Human communication is truly diverse, colorful, and fascinating."

"You're the weird one! What normal human dances when they apologize?" Mu Feng shouted.

He was extremely thin-skinned, and his face was already flushed red, just like an apple.

"You've already finished the dance and you're already bringing this up?" Pei Yuan retorted expressionlessly. "Mu Feng, you might be protesting, but deep down you're probably thrilled, aren't you?"

Then the two of them started yelling and arguing.

"So that's how it is..." Qin Guanyu breathed a sigh of relief. "So you suspected me. It's alright then. Xiaoyinyin, I thought you were still in solitary confinement. I was thinking of going to the student council tomorrow morning to plead for you. I thought I'd done a lot of good deeds, maybe I could offset some of your punishment."

"call out"

Li Wenyin's conscience was struck by an arrow.

"Ahem," Li Wenyin cleared her throat, "It was just a small misunderstanding, but it's all cleared up now! We'll be good classmates from now on."

Right, Qin Guanyu suddenly remembered something and took out a small box from his school uniform.

"This is a gift for you."

When Li Wenyin opened it, she found a hair clip inlaid with jewels.

Qin Guanyu said, "Girls should like this... I heard that you've faced a lot of cold looks and exclusion because of your special needs status. I'm giving this to you in the hope that they won't look down on you because of your family background."

"Whoosh!"

Li Wenyin's conscience was struck by two more arrows.

Mu Feng and Pei Yuan watched the spectacle with amusement.

But Qin Guanyu didn't forget them either.

He then took out two more boxes and gave one to each of them.

"This is for you guys. I've been meaning to give it to you when we all finally get together and meet."

What was given to Mu Feng was a magic ruler. Knowing that Mu Feng liked to draw arrays but was struggling to improve his skills, the magic ruler was given to help him draw arrays faster and cast spells more easily.

"Ah, thank you, thank you..."

Mu Feng accepted the magic ruler with trepidation, his expression complex.

Oh no, I'm going to feel so guilty tonight that I won't be able to sleep. Even if I do fall asleep, I'll wake up and slap myself twice, saying I deserve to die.

What was given to Pei Yuan was a rare book of magic spells. It was said that Pei Yuan seemed like a problem student but was actually very studious and ambitious, so the gift was a book from the family collection, hoping it would be helpful to him.

Pei Yuan's expression was also very complicated.

He felt a little regretful that he had slacked off during the "apology dance".

No wonder Qin Guanyu is so popular.

"And there's Senior Sister Yu Zhiyuan," Qin Guanyu said with some regret. "It's a real pity. I asked her, and she basically never leaves the Monster Forest, so I'll have to give her the gift next time."

Hearing that he had prepared so much, Li Wenyin couldn't help but ask, "You didn't prepare something for Teacher Wuya too, did you?"

"Of course," Qin Guanyu replied quickly.

He said matter-of-factly, "Teacher Wuya is a good teacher who will guide us for six years. He is steady and reliable, so of course I have to prepare a gift for him. I have already given him a pair of monocles, which are the ones he is wearing now."

The three of them fell silent at the same time.

So that monocle was a gift from him...

He glanced at Qin Guanyu, who was smiling happily and acting as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Think back to how they often questioned Teacher Wuya's reliability and talked badly about him behind his back, calling him a "garbage collector."

Qin Guanyu is such a good person...

-

Some students from magical families will state their ideal academy before enrolling in a magic academy.

Qin Guanyu's previous ideal was the Poppy Garden.

Because her mother came from the Poppy House, her older sister's wish was also to attend the Poppy House.

Although the Poppy House is famous for its female students, there are also a few male students. Some people speculate that the male students who are assigned to the Poppy House come from families that are more or less matrilineal and female-dominated.

Qin Guanyu met the requirements, but was assigned to the Obsidian Academy.

Because the Poppy House has another important requirement.

Ambition.

Qin Guanyu, however, had no ambition.

His mother and sister's dying wish was for him to live happily, and after the professor who raised him avenged him, he lived by that wish forever.

Be happy, be fearless, be the eyes you leave behind in this world, and live well.
