"And you should read less in the future. You've all become bookworms, and you don't even know this much."

Lai couldn't help but chuckle.

If you, a school principal, tell me not to study too much, then what's the point of running a school?

Dujiang Qingling realized he had said the wrong thing and said sternly, "Do you still want to hear it!"

Lai quickly covered her mouth and nodded gently.

Kiyoto Tomoe glared at him and said, "The private Hyakkaou Academy is a private aristocratic school that has been established for 122 years."

"Those who can attend that school are basically from wealthy and powerful families."

"This is a school where gambling is the way to go. If you are good at gambling, you will stand at the top of the pyramid. If you are not good at gambling, you will be a slave that everyone bullies."

"This school cultivates strategy, mind reading, and the ability to win in critical moments."

Lai looked incredulous upon hearing this. "There's such a school?"

"Is no one going to do anything about it?"

Kiyoshi Tsutomu shook his head and said, "Speaking of this, we have to mention the 'Hyakushi Clan'."

"This school was founded by the 'Hyakushi Family,' a family that has existed in the world for a very long time."

"And the current head of the family is—Kirari Momobami."

"I can't say anything more, but you should understand."

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the ceiling above.

Lai looked up at the ceiling and instantly understood what the old man meant.

Dujiang Qingling picked up the teapot on the table and skillfully poured out two cups of chrysanthemum tea.

"Try this chrysanthemum tea, it tastes absolutely amazing!"

Then, he handed the teacup to the person opposite him.

Lai immediately accepted it with both hands, demonstrating impeccable manners.

Upon seeing this action, Dujiang Qingling smiled with satisfaction.

Although this brat calls himself "old man" without hesitation, he is still very polite at heart.

Lai took a sip, closed his eyes, and savored it, saying, "Upon entry, there is a refreshing fragrance and a slight sourness; these two flavors are refreshing and good for the eyes."

Upon hearing this, Dujiang Qingling smiled and said, "Good lad, no wonder we get along so well. What you said is exactly what I felt when I drank it."

"When I drank it with my two married sons, they complained that the tea was bad."

"Fortunately, two of my granddaughters like this tea as much as I do."

Lai raised an eyebrow and asked teasingly, "How old are your two granddaughters?"

After saying that, he gave a wicked smile, looking just like a creepy uncle trying to abduct a little girl.

Du Jiang Qingling stood up instantly, his gaze unfriendly, and he said with a laugh, "You brat, I advise you to be kind, my two granddaughters are only five years old!"

Lai picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and smiled faintly, "Just asking."

"I'm asking you a big idiot, you little rascal!"

He picked up a pillow from the sofa and threw it at Lai.

Lai quickly dodged, stood up abruptly, and strode swiftly to open the door.

As he was leaving, Lai turned back and teased, "Old man, the tea is quite good."

Dujiang Qingling quickly grabbed a pillow and threw it towards the gate.

Lai quickly closed the office door to prevent it from being hit.

Dujiang Qingling, hands on his hips, laughed and cursed at the gate: "You brat, if you dare to hit on my granddaughter, I'll skin you alive."

"They're still just kids."

Then he murmured, "It wouldn't be bad if this kid became my great-granddaughter's husband, but it's a pity that my granddaughter is too young."

......

Lai walked to the corner, took out his phone from his pocket, and checked the time.

14:00

"I didn't expect our conversation to go on for so long; it was a waste of my afternoon nap time."

"Forget it, I'll sleep during class. It's just tough on the biology teacher."

After saying that, he put his phone back in his pocket and walked towards the classroom humming a little tune.

"Your fickleness betrayed my love, and cost me..."

Suddenly, Lai stopped humming abruptly, his face showing panic.

A blonde woman was walking towards them; this woman was none other than the narcissistic music teacher.

Just as I was about to back away, it seemed that Minagawa Akane in front of me noticed me.

Her pure and lovely face was filled with surprise as she jogged over in low-top high heels.

"Lai-kun, wait for me, it's me, Akane Minagawa-sensei."

Akane Minagawa called out as she jogged along.

Lai sighed; if he could, he really wouldn't want to have anything to do with this woman.

My sixth sense told me that this woman was no pushover.

Akane Minagawa jogged over to me, bent down slightly, and breathed through her cherry-like lips.

Her chest was shaking uncontrollably, as if it were about to jump out of her clothes.

Do not look at what is improper!

Lai quickly looked away and gazed at the ceiling, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Akane Minagawa looked up and saw him staring blankly at the ceiling. She thought to herself, "As expected, my figure is still the most attractive!"

She just ran over here simply to show off her figure; she knows better than anyone what men want.

Akane Minagawa placed her hands behind her back, leaned slightly forward, and said softly, "Ray-kun, what a coincidence! I was just about to go back to the teachers' lounge when I ran into you."

"Hmm, what a coincidence, what a coincidence," Lai replied dismissively, continuing to stare at the ceiling.

Akane Minagawa was displeased, but said gently, "Ray-kun, why are you staring at the ceiling?"

“Look down at the teacher. The teacher can only teach Class 2-1 for half a day a week.”

"Your teacher really wants to hear you play the piano. You play much better than your teacher!"

Upon hearing this, Lai lowered his head helplessly and said, "Goodbye, teacher, I have to go back to the classroom."

After saying that, he walked towards the classroom.

Upon seeing this, Minagawa Akane immediately knelt down, buried her face in her hands, and burst into tears.

"Waaaaah..."

"Am I the worst teacher? Even my students don't want to talk to me or get close to me."

"Waaah, I think I'll leave this school tomorrow and never do this job again."

"I'm the biggest failure, sob sob..."

Lai turned around and walked to her. His dark eyes looked helplessly at the woman who was squatting on the ground crying. He said softly, "Teacher, don't cry. If others hear you, they'll think I'm bullying you."

Upon hearing this, Akane Minagawa cried even harder, tears streaming down her face like raindrops.

Lai half-squatted down, cupped her face in his hands, looked into her eyes, and said softly, "Don't cry, it's my fault. I'm not ignoring you, I just have something urgent to attend to."

Tears welled up in Minagawa Akane's eyes as she stared blankly at the boy's perfect face.

She admitted that at that moment, her heart was pounding for the boy in front of her.

At that moment, she believed she had found love.

At that moment, she fell in love with the boy in front of her at first sight.

Lai cupped her delicate face in his hands and said softly, "Don't cry, you won't look pretty if you keep crying."

Akane Minagawa sniffed, wiping the snot from her nose, her pale purple eyes fixed intently on the boy's face.

Upon seeing this scene, Lai couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes brimming with amusement.

Minagawa Akane hurriedly pulled her hand away from his, blushing and turning her head away, her gaze darting away, thinking to herself, "Minagawa Akane, you're not some innocent girl anymore, how could you..."

"Why are you still staring at him like an idiot!"

"However, he is really good-looking, giving people a feeling of first love."

Lai took a pack of tissues out of his pocket, but of course, reaching into his pocket was just a pretense; his real purpose was to take it out of the system's inventory.

"Here, teacher, you can wipe it yourself."

Lai handed her the tissue.

But the narcissistic woman in front of him remained motionless, half-squatting, her eyes glazed over, not listening to a word he said.

Lai raised an eyebrow, took the tissues back, and pulled out a few.

Next, he pinched her chin, moved her head in front of him, and carefully wiped her tear-streaked face with a tissue.

Akane Minagawa snapped out of her daze and stared wide-eyed at the boy in front of her.

Just as she was about to break free, a domineering yet magnetic voice made her stop.

"do not move!"

Akane Minagawa was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with a dazed and infatuated gaze.

The sound she just heard reminded her of a domineering CEO spoiling his young wife.

That domineering, magnetic, and irresistible command instantly gives one a strong sense of security, while simultaneously making one's heart itch with desire.

As Lai wiped away her tears, he muttered to himself:
