7:30 in the morning.

The car stopped at the school gate.

Lin An sat in the car for a while to recover before the resonance period ended. He jumped out of the car and walked into the school with Huo Nianci.

Seeing Lin An walking like a duck for some reason, Huo Nianci chuckled and said, "How about we find a place and I'll help you out?"

"Huh?" Lin An immediately shook his head: "Never mind, never mind, no need."

"Really not necessary?" Huo Nianci deliberately pressed her soft chest close to him, then looked up at him with her bright eyes.

Lin An took a deep breath and shook his head: "Really, it's not necessary."

"Okay," Huo Nianci said, "It's really funny to see An'an like this. I want to play again tomorrow."

Lin An: "..."

Money really is hard to earn; this 10,000 yuan a day isn't free.

His strange behavior subsided considerably after walking from the main gate to the small square again.

At this moment, Huo Nianci suddenly stopped in her tracks: "I have an early morning class, and the first period is my major class. I can't go to class with you."

Upon hearing this, Lin An couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Fortunately fortunately.

If he were to let that female demon take his classes again, who knows what might happen.

He had to admit that he was indeed somewhat uneasy when Huo Nianci was around.

She always manages to do things that leave him defenseless.

She might suddenly kiss him, or slip her hand inside his clothes and grope him, or give him that kind of look that could steal his soul.

Without her by his side, he could at least listen to the lesson in peace and take good notes.

Unfortunately, he couldn't quite control that "relieved" expression.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Thus, Huo Nianci keenly noticed it.

She squinted and asked, "You seem very happy?"

Lin An immediately stopped smiling: "No, no, I just..."

"What is it?"

"It's great that you have classes to teach; study hard and improve every day..."

Huo Nianci looked at him, her eyes narrowing from a squinty gaze to a thin slit.

She took a step forward and moved closer to him.

Then suddenly she lowered her head, opened her mouth, and bit his shoulder.

Lin An hissed, "What are you doing!"

Huo Nianci released her mouth, leaving a faint ring of teeth marks on her shoulder.

There was no bleeding, but it was red with a little bit of saliva on the edges.

She licked her lips and looked up at him: "Punishment."

"I didn't do anything wrong..."

"You just breathed a sigh of relief," Huo Nianci said, "because you didn't want me to accompany you to class, so I'm punishing you."

Lin An opened his mouth, but found that he really couldn't refute it.

Fortunately, Huo Nianci didn't dwell on the topic anymore. Instead, she looked down and pulled a small black object out of her bag.

Lin An looked down and saw something slightly larger than a thumbnail, round and thin, like a black button.

"What is this?" Lin An asked.

Huo Nianci didn't answer, but instead reached out and grabbed his collar, pulling him towards her.

Lin An was forced to bend down, and Huo Nianci's fingers reached into the collar of his T-shirt and clipped the black "button" next to the label on the inside of his shirt.

The clips are very tight, holding the fabric in place securely.

"A microphone," Huo Nianci patted his chest, "From now on, I can hear everything you say on my phone."

Lin An's eyes widened: "A microphone?"

"Um."

"You planted a listening device on me?"

"Hmm," Huo Nianci said calmly.

"I don't think it's necessary," Lin An struggled.

"Whether it's necessary or not is up to me," Huo Nianci said, slinging her backpack strap back over her shoulder and tilting her head to look at him. "This is a necessary measure to prevent you from talking to other women."

Lin An looked at her matter-of-fact face, then looked down at the black "button" inside his clothes, and felt completely numb.

"Try picking one yourself," Huo Nianci said, her eyes filled with resentment, as if she were about to explode.

So Lin An silently withdrew his hand, which was halfway outstretched.

Huo Nianci patted his face with satisfaction: "Good boy, focus on your class. I'll come find you after class."

After saying that, she gave Lin An a farewell kiss, then turned and walked towards the School of Literature.

Lin An stood still, reaching out to touch the black microphone clipped to his collar badge through his clothes. The moment his fingers touched it, he could feel a small, hard plastic disc.

He couldn't help but sigh.

But he dared not speak, fearing that Huo Nianci would overhear him if he said anything.

Every day feels like walking on thin ice.

Lin An sighed and went straight into the business school, stepping into lecture hall 5-1 of the teaching building.

At this time, less than half of the students were sitting in the classroom.

The first class is Advanced Mathematics at 8 AM. Advanced Mathematics is a large class, attended by students from several different majors.

The classroom is big enough to hold more than a hundred people. It's only a little past 7:40 now. Those who arrived early are either catching up on sleep at their desks or scrolling through their phones.

Lin An chose to sit down in the second-to-last row.

This spot offers a good view, allowing you to see the entire classroom, yet it's not too conspicuous.

He put his schoolbag on the chair next to him, took out his textbooks and pen, and then subconsciously reached out and touched the small black circle on his collar badge.

Lin An thought to himself, "As long as I don't say anything today, Huo Nianci won't be able to find any fault with me."

"Being mute, attending class and leaving—perfect!"

Lin An had just finished making his promise when the three girls in the front row turned around.

They were from the next major. Lin An knew two of them, but couldn't recall their names.

Three pairs of eyes stared at him simultaneously.

"Lin An," the girl in the middle spoke first, "Are you really dating Huo Nianci?"

Lin An was stunned for a moment. He glanced at his collar and knew that the "button" was faithfully transmitting all the sounds around him to another person's ears.

So he just nodded and didn't say anything.

"Aaaaaah!"

The three girls in the front row simultaneously covered their mouths and let out a very loud scream.

"I told you so!" The girl in the middle said smugly, making it seem like she was in a relationship.

At this moment, the girl on the left leaned forward again, resting her chin on her crossed arms: "How did you manage to win over Huo Nianci?"

"Given her personality...we gossiped behind her back, we thought she would never date anyone."

Lin An smiled but didn't want to say anything.

But the three girls wouldn't let it go: "Lin An, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Lin An, just tell us, we won't go around telling anyone."

"Really, we were just curious."

Seeing their pleading faces, Lin An knew that if he continued to remain silent, he probably wouldn't be able to get rid of them.
