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

Yu Lanxie is a well-known maverick among the first-year students of Oak Academy.

Unruly, arrogant, unruly, and exceptionally conceited.

Despite his outstanding abilities, his bad temper made him unpopular in the more rigorous and orthodox Oak College.

But it actually stemmed from a misunderstanding.

Yu Lanxie has severe face blindness. Before speaking to someone, he inevitably squints slightly, scrutinizing who it is, and then raises his chin slightly, giving off a disdainful and arrogant vibe.

Even after looking closely, he still couldn't recognize the person and had to confirm it during the conversation.

Therefore, he was mistakenly perceived as arrogant and disdainful of others. During the first week of school—the prime time for making friends—he gained a reputation for being difficult to deal with, and this spread like wildfire, eventually leading to his current image.

Yu Lanxie himself was too lazy to explain. He was unconventional and had his own ideas and insights about spells and magic. He didn't care about other people's opinions. Let him be arrogant if he wanted.

Until, for the sake of the academy competition, he began to cultivate a neuromorphic plant.

-

"Have you seen Yu Lanxie?"

"I saw it! He spent the whole morning in the cooking class!"

"Today is the second day of the 'Five-Day Cultivation' competition, right? I heard he went to the cooking class to make dark chocolate for that 'Neurotic Grass' plant."

"Dark chocolate? Why would grass eat dark chocolate?"

"It can talk, so why are you fussing over these things?"

"I saw him singing for Crazy Grass in the lounge when I got out of class yesterday!"

"Singing? That doesn't sound like something Yu Lanxie would do."

"Right, I was surprised too, but he did sing it, and it sounded really good."

"He's not as difficult to get along with as I imagined. Do you think we could invite him into our study group? With him around, we won't have to worry about our grades!"

"Haha, you can give it a try."

In places where Yu Lanxie couldn't hear or see, his curious classmates were secretly gossiping about him.

In the same classroom, in the same corridor, separated by a window, or even just a few seats apart.

The distance between people is both very close and very far. People on both sides of the distance silently and tacitly do not disturb each other, bound by various reasons, separated by a thin layer of paper, and will not take the initiative to take another step forward.

But this inexplicable neurotic plant poked a small hole in this thin layer of paper.

Through this small hole, Yu Lanxie's classmates glimpsed a side of Yu Lanxie that they had never known before.

In fact, Yu Lanxie was not as cold and unapproachable as they imagined.

They, his classmates, were not as incomprehensible to him as many people believed.

Perhaps it's just a lack of an opportunity.

Mu Feng, holding the psychic flower, walked with Li Wenyin on their way to their general education class.

The clever Li Wenyin, after careful planning, arranged for these people to take turns caring for the neurotic flower over the next five days, and she also offered her own ideas on how each person should interact with the neurotic flower.

"Li Wenyin, you went to scout out the enemy's situation. Report back on what happened," Mu Feng said.

Li Wenyin replied, "I went to check it out. Yu Lanxie spent the whole morning in the cooking classroom making bitter chocolate for the neurotic grass. There were a lot of people watching from the windows outside the cooking classroom."

"Watching?" Mu Feng asked in surprise. "Watching what?"

"Most of them are students from Oak Academy. They all seem to be quite unusual. Some went to see Yu Lanxie make chocolate, while others went to see the Neurotic Grass," Li Wenyin summarized.

"This isn't fair!"

Mu Feng shouted.

"Why isn't anyone watching me? I want to experience being surrounded by a bunch of people too."

"I asked that too."

Li Wenyin continued speaking very considerately.

"It's said that everyone knows the Kokuyoin students are sick, so it's best to stay away from them if possible."

Mu Feng: "..."

Discrimination! This is blatant discrimination!

This injustice of fate made Mu Feng dizzy with anger.

"Don't worry, Senior Mu Feng," Li Wenyin comforted and encouraged him. "Although we are slightly less popular, I have seen that the Nerve Grass's HP has been around 65, while our Miss can now stay at 70 or 80, and has even reached 95 at her highest."

Mu Feng was surprised: "95? When?"

Li Wenyin: "Senior, when you were sleeping in class this morning, the 'Neurotic Flower' was so happy watching your sleeping face."

"..." Mu Feng felt a chill run down his spine. "That's a pervert!"

The neurotic flower twisted in dissatisfaction.

"Shh," Li Wenyin said, "but these nerve flowers and nerve grasses are really rare species. Many students have never seen them before. Where were they planted before? I don't know."

Just then, Mu Feng caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of the little heads peeking out from other classrooms in the corridor to observe them. As soon as they met his gaze, they hurriedly shrank back.

Mu Feng: "Before? Student council, I guess."

Student council... or...?

Li Wenyin looked at the swaying, neurotic flower in Mu Feng's arms with a complicated expression.

What kind of monsters and demons does the student council deal with every day?

-

"Senior, listen to me, and make sure the handover is done well. That way, you'll have high life points and won't be too exhausted."

Li Wenyin walked with great confidence, patting her chest as she spoke.

"Of course I'll listen to you," Mu Feng said, sounding somewhat apprehensive. "I heard that Yu Lanxie didn't sleep a wink last night to take care of the neurotic grass, and hasn't closed his eyes since. Damn, if it were me, I would have died on the spot by now."

"Yeah, senior, you'd better be careful."

Li Wenyin said solemnly.

From the moment she peeked at Yu Lanxie in the cooking class from the crowd that morning, she could tell he was a bit distracted, making bitter chocolate until life itself started to taste bitter.

Mu Feng nodded, seemingly fearless: "Luckily, Pei Yuan is on the night shift tonight, so I won't be the one who dies."

"..." Li Wenyin retorted, "I'm going to tell Senior Pei Yuan these words verbatim."

"?" Mu Feng exclaimed in surprise, "Li Wenyin, how could you tell on me?"

Li Wenyin ignored him and started running, leaving Mu Feng and the flowers behind.

Mu Feng, not to be outdone, chased after him.

The two children were childishly bickering and chasing each other in the busy school building corridor.

suddenly!

Li Wenyin wrinkled her nose, stopped abruptly, sniffed carefully, and then raised her hand to stop Mu Feng's actions.

Mu Feng asked, completely bewildered, "What's wrong?"

"I can smell Senior Nangong's scent," Li Wenyin said solemnly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Zhi walked out from around the corner with an icy expression.

Mu Feng secretly thought to himself, "Thank goodness!"

If they hadn't stopped their pursuit in time, they would probably be colliding head-on with Nangong Zhi right now.

At that point, I'll probably get another ban from speaking.

It's fine if they're silenced, but if Nangong Zhi takes a dislike to the Neurotic Flower and silences it too, the Neurotic Flower's health will drop, and it'll be truly doomed.

Li Wenyin nodded and greeted, "Hello, Senior Nangong! You've worked hard, Senior Nangong!"

Offering unsolicited favors gives the impression of trying to cover something up.

Nangong Zhi glanced at him indifferently.

I stared straight at the potted 'neurotic flower' in their hands.

The neurotic flower swayed smugly: "Oh~ the new handsome guy..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Wenyin swiftly covered its mouth.

Nangong Zhi remained cold and indifferent, ignoring him completely, only slightly lowering his gaze.

The last time I saw a plant with a human face was when Li Wenyin sent me that weird thing.

It's unlikely to be anything good.

Nangong Zhi didn't linger and walked straight away.

After watching him disappear around the corner, Mu Feng wiped away his cold sweat: "That scared me to death. I almost thought Senior Nangong was going to catch us running in the corridor."

Li Wenyin released her hand from covering the mouth of the neurotic flower.

"Thank goodness."

"Hey, speaking of which, Li Wenyin, how did you know that Senior Nangong was here?" Mu Feng asked curiously.

Li Wenyin: "I can smell it."

"What?!" Mu Feng exclaimed in shock.

Senior Nangong has a body odor?!

No, no, Mu Feng didn't smell anything at all. If he had to describe what he smelled, it was just a normal, cool, and faint fragrance.

"The smell of cherries," Li Wenyin thought for a moment, "I smelled them in the Monster Forest last time too, when Senior Nangong was here, right?"

"Yes, yes, he came with the student council to handle it," Mu Feng said in surprise. "Why can't I smell the cherry scent? Li Wenyin, what's wrong with your nose?"

Li Wenyin is innocent.

"I don't know. Ever since I gave my senior a cherry bomb, every time I see him, I can smell the sweet scent of cherries from a distance."

"Goodness."

Mu Feng opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

"Li Wenyin, have you marked Senior Nangong?"

Li Wenyin: "?"

What kind of talk is that?

-

When the Nerve Flower was handed over to Pei Yuan, its health was 75.

All the first-year students went to class. Yu Zhiyuan had missed too many classes, so she used the invisibility cloak to audit the general education classes. Mu was in her room.

In the small classroom reserved for the Obsidian Academy, Pei Yuan was the only one present.

There's also a boisterous flower.

He was writing his homework, while the nerve flower on the corner of the table was making noise.

"I hate the classroom! I hate the classroom! I want to go outside! I want to go outside! I want freedom! I want sunshine!"

Pei Yuan didn't even look up: "Then you should think about it."

The neglected neurotic flower was very dissatisfied and used her usual provocative method: she would die in front of him!

The specially made flowerpot showed that the Nerve Flower's health points were dropping rapidly, from 75 to 40 in the blink of an eye.

This is the most effective threatening tactic of the neurotic flower. Hmph, it knows that foolish humans will be afraid of its passing and will soon come back to coax it with regret!

At that time, it will be easy for the neurotic flower to go out, enjoy the sunshine, or lie in the arms of a handsome man!

It's so precious, so rare, so important, we have to pamper it!

Pei Yuan remained unmoved and indifferently turned to the next page.

"Tsk, is it really that difficult to put the article and the question together? What was the layout designer thinking?"

Neurotic Flower: "?"

Wait, this isn't right. Why isn't anyone trying to comfort it? Its health has dropped to 40!

"Ahhh, I'm going to die! I'm in so much pain! I'm about to wither away! The most delicate, the most precious, the most beautiful me!—"

Health points dropped from 40 to 25.

Pei Yuan didn't even glance at it, frowning slightly, and kept flipping through the same page in frustration before he could answer the question.

"..." The neurotic flower was very dissatisfied with his ignoring her. Her delicate voice could no longer hold back as she questioned, "Dude, I'm about to die, look at me!"

"call."

Pei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and closed the workbook.

I've finally finished this assignment.

Next up is basic potion-making...

"Hello!--"

Seeing that Pei Yuan had turned to look for other workbooks, and that this lousy book was more favored by him than the noble and eccentric flower, the eccentric flower was very unhappy about being ignored and started yelling.

Pei Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the neurotic flower.

He remembered that there were still several tubes of their remaining five sense potions in the classroom lockers, and Mu Feng's failed attempts included a deafening potion.

I never thought it could be used here.

Pei Yuan got up to get it.

The neurotic flower really couldn't take it anymore.

"No, I'm really going to die! I'm going to die!"

Health points dropped to 10.

Finally, Pei Yuan turned around and looked at the neurotic flower calmly and naturally.

Feeling a bit uneasy being stared at like that, the neurotic flower felt a little nervous.

After a while, Pei Yuan smiled and said casually, "Then you can die."

Neurotic Flower: "???"

Bold humans!

The neurotic flower was filled with rage, and immediately, its health points plummeted.

10, 9, 8......3, 2, 1.

Little by little, it had already dropped to 1, but Pei Yuan still showed no intention of trying to please it. Instead, he calmly watched it fuss with his arms crossed, knowing that it couldn't cause any trouble.

Finally, the Nerve Flower's health points stopped at 1. It trembled and said, "You...you really aren't going to comfort me at all?"

Pei Yuan: "No."

-

This was the advice given by the clever Li Wenyin.

She boldly guessed and told Pei Yuan that she had figured out the personality of this neurotic flower. It would only live a life of pleasure in the arms of handsome men and would never be willing to actually die.

The decrease in its health is just a threat; the more it shouts that it's going to die, the less you should believe it and the less you should indulge it.

To deal with it, we must return to simplicity and become an unreasonable, unruly child ourselves. If it makes a fuss, tear off its petals; if it shows off, ignore it. We must use magic to defeat magic.

Before long, it will get fed up and behave itself.

As Li Wenyin spoke, she even touched her chin with a hint of pride: "This is what we cunning humans are like."

-

Seeing that his threats were ineffective, his health was decreasing, and he could only suffer the consequences.

The neurotic flower was naturally reluctant to die, so it quietly shut its mouth, and after a while, silently increased its health points.

Pei Yuan smiled.

"That's just how cunning we humans are."
