Kiana felt a sense of despair. Just thinking about the mandatory history class exams was enough to give her a headache.
So, tonight was the last night of peace. Starting tomorrow, it would likely be demon-like training. Kiana decided to just slack off.
She flopped onto the sofa, arching her back, showcasing perfect curves. Lu Ze cleared his throat and looked away.
"Lu Ze! I want stinky tofu! Hehe… can you make me some tonight?"
Ever since eating Lu Ze's stinky tofu yesterday, Kiana had been craving that taste. How to put it? It was more fragrant, more delicious, and more flavorful than the stinky tofu from outside.
"Okay… but wait a moment, I need to help Theresa. I might be back late. Remember to save some food for me. If you're too sleepy, you can go to bed first, and I'll make it for you tomorrow."
Lu Ze tidied his schoolbag and prepared to leave.
Kiana, still lying on the sofa, pouted, looking a little unhappy, and muttered softly:
"Auntie really… always monopolizing Lu Ze. I don't even know what she does. She always comes back so late. No… I have to go see next time."
As for why she wasn't going this time, it was because tonight was the last peaceful night, and she had to enjoy it properly.
Investigating the truth would have to wait until another time.
Lu Ze walked out of the dormitory and skillfully arrived at the Principal's office. He knocked on the door with a hint of helplessness, waiting for someone to open it.
After a while, Theresa cautiously opened the door. Seeing Lu Ze outside, she breathed a sigh of relief. Glancing around to ensure no one else was there, she said cautiously:
"Lu Ze? Did you bring the things? Don't tell me you didn't, I've been looking forward to it for a long time! If you didn't bring them, I'll be very disappointed!"
Lu Ze nodded with a helpless expression, took off the schoolbag on his back, slowly unzipped it, and said:
"Everything is in here. I didn't forget. What about you, Principal? Did you get lost in your manga again and forget to eat until now!"
Theresa, chided like this, sheepishly touched her head. After confirming, she opened the door wider, signaling Lu Ze, who was standing at the entrance, to come in.
"It's just that the manga is too good! You know how it is. I forget the time when I read manga, and when I forget the time, I forget to eat. When I forget to eat, I lose my strength… and when I lose my strength, I don't want to work."
Lu Ze's mouth twitched. You know that, and yet you still read manga so late every time? When will this personality trait ever change?
"Alright, alright! I have my bitter melon set meal and bitter melon juice! Hurry up and give it to me, I'm starving. After eating, I want to continue reading my manga."
Lu Ze felt a little speechless listening to Theresa. Are your only options eating and reading manga? What about work? You still have so much unfinished business, and you always dump it on me… This is too much.
About two months ago, Lu Ze accidentally stumbled upon Theresa reading manga in the Principal's office, catching her red-handed.
After that, Lu Ze seemed to have taken on a mess. Every time he didn't want to help, Theresa would unleash her cute attack. As if she had tasted the sweetness, she would call Lu Ze over whenever she didn't want to work.
And him? He would just watch her read manga and supervise. Logically, shouldn't Lu Ze be threatening Theresa? Why was it the other way around?
This would have to be asked of him personally. Although he had once said:
"You wouldn't want me to reveal that their Principal likes to read manga, would you?"
But it seemed to have no effect. Instead, Lu Ze was sinking deeper and deeper, he didn't even know when he had gotten used to it.
He took out the bitter melon juice, bitter melon burgers, and even lunch boxes from the schoolbag, placing them on the table one by one.
"My dear Principal, when will you let me go? I was the one who caught you reading manga, so why am I the one paying the price?"
Theresa chuckled rather ungratefully, took a manga book from a bookshelf, and said:
"My good Lu Ze, don't worry about these things! Hurry up and help me with my work. If you handle it well, I might even give you an unexpected reward."
Fine, Lu Ze was completely helpless against Theresa. He continued to take out two or three manga books from his schoolbag and placed them on the table.
"The limited edition manga books you asked for, I queued for a long time to buy them. Isn't it… time to fulfill your promise?"
Theresa, sitting on the side, suddenly remembered what she had said a few days ago.
At that time, she had said that if Lu Ze bought her three limited edition manga books, she would give him a mysterious reward!
But she never expected this day to come so quickly? No, that's not right! In her memory, although there were many limited edition manga books, they were usually very hard to find. How did he manage it?
"Theresa? If it's too difficult, you can exchange the reward for handling these matters yourself!"
As soon as she heard about handling work, Theresa became a little reluctant. She had planned to finish the latest volume today. How could she be made to work?
Isn't it just a reward? I'll give it to you, it's not like I can't afford it. Although it might be a little embarrassing, and besides, she didn't have much else to give.
"Isn't it just a reward? I'll give it!"
Lu Ze was confused. What was going on? Was she really going to give him a reward? It couldn't be what he was thinking, could it? No, it couldn't be! Lu Ze, how could you think that?
But Theresa quickly jumped off her chair and stood in front of Lu Ze, looking up at him, who was taller than her…
This was awkward. The height difference between them was too great, like… father and daughter.
"You little brat! Hurry up and squat down a bit! Do you want me to get a chair?"
Lu Ze subconsciously followed Theresa's command and slightly squatted down. He wanted to see what Theresa was planning to do.
"Cough, cough! Are you ready? If you're ready, I'll begin!"
Theresa quickly kissed Lu Ze on the cheek. A little saliva was left behind, and it even tasted a bit like bitter melon…
"Why do I feel like a child is kissing me? Suddenly it doesn't feel like a big deal…"
He blurted it out subconsciously, completely disregarding Theresa's feelings.
"Lu Ze! Who are you calling a child?"
