Mu Wan walked forward with small, steady steps, heading straight toward Lisiluo.
Why is she coming straight over?!
Lisiluo wailed internally.
She had thought she was well prepared.
But the moment she actually saw Mu Wan, every single line she had rehearsed completely vanished from her mind.
The students nearby took one look and immediately scattered like birds and beasts, leaving Lisiluo standing alone at the classroom door.
“Run! She’s coming over!”
“Don’t push, don’t push! This spot’s already full!”
“Liseluo, you’re on your own. Just don’t provoke her.”
The last voice belonged to the class president, spoken in a lowered tone. Right after, she also retreated to a safe distance.
Mu Wan stopped in front of her and looked up at Lisiluo, the familiar mischievous smile hanging on her lips.
It’s over.
Lisiluo’s mind went completely blank.
Should she greet her? Apologize right away? Or immediately fulfill the “compensation” she had mentioned yesterday?
Move, brain! Do something!
The moment she remembered Mu Wan saying that the next time they met, she would kiss her in public as punishment, Lisiluo’s panic spiked.
Mu Wan raised her hand.
She’s going to kiss me—
Lisiluo squeezed her eyes shut and braced herself.
But the soft touch she was expecting never came. Instead, she heard Mu Wan’s voice asking a question.
“Are you Lisiluo? Do you recognize this wallet?”
“Eh?”
Lisiluo opened her eyes and saw that Mu Wan had only raised her hand to show her what she was holding.
It was a pink wallet.
It looked a little old, with a cartoon bird pattern on the surface.
This was Lisiluo’s wallet — the one she had shoved into Mu Wan’s hands yesterday.
She looked up at Mu Wan in confusion.
Mu Wan tilted her head and responded with a smile, polite as if the two of them had never met before.
What kind of act is this?
A new teasing game? Or had Mu Wan actually forgotten who she was?
Lisiluo couldn’t decide what to do. She didn’t know whether she should admit it or not.
“Oh, don’t worry. I’m just here to return a lost item. If this wallet belongs to you, that is.”
Seeing that Lisiluo still hadn’t reacted after a while, Mu Wan added another line.
“Uh… Yeah, it’s mine.” Lisiluo braced herself and decided to take the gamble.
“That’s good. Here, take it. Don’t lose it again next time.”
“Oh… Thank you…”
The moment Lisiluo took the wallet, the back of her hand was lightly brushed.
She immediately looked up and saw Mu Wan sticking her tongue out at her.
As expected!
This whole act was just Mu Wan messing with her.
But what was the point of putting on this performance…?
The students behind them had seen the entire scene and immediately began whispering among themselves.
“Eh? Did that young lady actually do something good for once?”
“Not sure yet. Let’s keep watching.”
These conversations definitely reached Mu Wan’s ears, but she didn’t get angry. She simply returned to her well-behaved appearance.
Then she clasped her hands behind her back, stood on her tiptoes, and leaned close to Lisiluo’s ear to whisper.
“By the way, junior, you should probably check your wallet. It seems like someone stole some money from it.”
Lisiluo quickly opened the wallet.
Inside, there were only a few lonely silver and copper coins. Nothing else.
She counted them. The amount was neither more nor less than what should have been there.
“That’s strange… The money isn’t missing?”
“That can’t be right. Look, there’s only this much money in here. Someone must have stolen it.”
Mu Wan’s voice was clear and pleasant, carrying especially far in the quiet corridor.
Lisiluo’s face turned red from her neck all the way to the top of her head. She frantically waved her hands.
“N-No, senpai, it’s not like that—”
“Hmm? Is there a problem?”
“It’s just that… my wallet only had this much money to begin with…”
Her voice grew quieter and quieter with each word. Lisiluo was so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a crack in the floor.
Mu Wan blinked, then pretended to cover her mouth and let out an exaggerated gasp.
“Eh— You mean to say there are people who go outside without even a few gold coins in their wallet? You must be joking, junior.”
“Don’t worry. With me here, no thief can possibly get away. I’ll have people investigate right away.”
“Wait, I really wasn’t robbed…”
No matter how much Lisiluo tried to stop her, Mu Wan stubbornly insisted on this idea, making Lisiluo feel like she was about to evaporate on the spot.
The humiliation was so obvious and excessive that the students behind them immediately let out enlightened sighs.
“Now I get it.”
“So she was just showing off how rich she is. What a disgusting rich person.”
“Wah… I’m actually starting to feel sorry for Lisiluo. Of all people, she got tangled up with that demon king.”
Lisiluo opened her mouth, wanting to say something to salvage the situation.
But Mu Wan grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward without giving her a chance to speak.
“Come on, junior. I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly and return every coin that was stolen from you.”
Before Lisiluo could even understand what was happening, she was being dragged into a light jog.
The two of them ran one after another through the corridor.
From behind, Mu Wan’s back looked small. Her black-stockinged legs alternated in quick steps, producing a rhythmic tap-tap sound against the floor.
Her black twin-tails swung left and right in the air, and the tips occasionally brushed against Lisiluo’s cheeks, making them itch.
The scent of her perfume also drifted over with the wind and quietly slipped into Lisiluo’s nose.
Along the way, they barely ran into anyone. Mu Wan had probably deliberately chosen paths with no people.
Eventually, they crossed nearly half the teaching building and stopped in an empty corridor.
Lisiluo looked around.
It should have been the busiest time right after class, yet she couldn’t hear a single sound.
In front of her was nothing but a plain white wall.
But Mu Wan was staring at that wall in silence, as if she could see something on it.
“Um… Senpai…”
Lisiluo’s doubts had been piling up, and she finally couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Are you… angry at me?”
“Yeah.”
To her surprise, Mu Wan nodded and agreed with her.
As expected…
After all, this was the first time Lisiluo had been publicly teased by Mu Wan.
She couldn’t think of any other reason besides Mu Wan taking out her anger on her.
Making a complete fool of herself in front of her classmates was probably Mu Wan’s punishment for her.
Lisiluo couldn’t find any way to defend herself and could only lower her head, waiting for Mu Wan’s scolding.
But there was only silence.
Mu Wan didn’t speak either. She simply continued holding onto Lisiluo’s wrist.
Lisiluo didn’t dare to start a conversation either. Her eyes wandered around on the floor, trying to distract herself.
Ah… This floor really is very floor-like…
Also, small leather shoes paired with black stockings actually look pretty good too?
Her gaze then landed on the wrist that was being held.
Mu Wan’s hand looked small and very pale. The warmth from her palm was slowly transferring over.
At the same time, she noticed something.
Today, Mu Wan was wearing a bracelet on her wrist. It looked like it was made of metal and was currently sparkling.
“You’re very interested in this bracelet?”
Mu Wan suddenly turned her head, revealing a sly side profile.
“Eh? Yeah, a little…”
Seeing that Mu Wan had taken the initiative to bring up a topic, Lisiluo quickly gave an affirmative answer, hoping to break the heavy atmosphere.
“It has a lot of functions. You’ll find out soon enough. Oh, and that thing just arrived too.”
As she spoke, Mu Wan casually waved her hand toward the wall.
The white wall gradually dissolved into the air, revealing the space behind it.
Only after entering did Lisiluo realize this was an extremely luxurious resting room. Although it wasn’t large, it had everything it needed.
Lisiluo looked around in a daze. Then she saw that Mu Wan had already sat down on the sofa.
“Come here. Lie down.”
She patted her black-stockinged thighs and gave the command.
