Whoosh! Little Wu, oblivious to martial virtues, launched a surprise attack. Using her small hands to propel herself high into the air, she swept a scissor kick directly at his head.
Snap! Tang San wasn't one to be trifled with.
Even with both kicks blocked, Little Wu didn't stop her attack. With a thrust of her waist and head, she lashed out at his face with her long, thin scorpion braid.
'So fast!' Tang San exclaimed inwardly, releasing his grip and using his Ghost Shadow Steps to retreat.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Little Wu's knowledge was limited, but her hair was incredibly long.
"Hiss~" Tang San gasped in pain.
The scorpion braid struck his face, leaving a red mark and nearly disfiguring his features.
Strike while the iron is hot! Her small foot kicked him from below in the chin,
sending him flying high into the air before crashing to the ground with a thud. Just as he
was about to get up, Little Wu stepped forward and stomped on his chest!
"See? I won!" Xiao Wu looked down at Tang San, her expression smug.
"I lost." Although she hadn't gone all out, Tang San didn't cheat either. He hadn't really cared about being the leader anyway.
Besides, the girl in front of him was so cute, and he felt a strange sense of familiarity with her.
"Great!" Xiao Wu jumped up happily, acting like a little adult. "Listen up, from now on I'm your leader. I'm Xiao Wu, the 'Wu' of 'dancing.' From now on, you all have to call me Sister Xiao Wu!"
Seeing that Ye Qiu wasn't even looking at her, she got annoyed and added, "And Xiao Qiu, you too!"
Ye Qiu, who had already simply made the bed, nodded helplessly when he heard Xiao Wu's address. It was just a name, and considering her age, it was indeed appropriate!
However, while she could call him Xiao Qiu, he wouldn't call her "sister." If you asked why, it could only be attributed to a man's damn pride.
"Hehe, come on, call out to me!" Seeing Ye Qiu nod, Xiao Wu's eyes narrowed into crescent moons with smug delight.
"Hello, Sister Xiao Wu!" Wang Sheng and the others shouted in unison. Ye Qiu didn't shout, nor did Tang San.
Tang San, who had already gotten up, looked at Xiao Wu being fawned over by everyone and felt somewhat pleased. Touching the red marks on his face, he smiled faintly.
Then he noticed Ye Qiu sitting on the bed on the other side. Tang San felt that Ye Qiu was a little different from the others.
Ordinary yet strange, with short black hair and a blue outfit, his appearance was unremarkable, but his eyes were covered.
Ye Qiu's spiritual power was extraordinary. He was also aware of Tang San's undisguised probing and smiled and nodded politely.
Tang San returned the smile.
'The time was a bit too short just now, I didn't even learn the basics,' Ye Qiu thought with a little regret, but there would be plenty of time in the future.
Click!
"Xiao San, come out with me for a moment." The door of Dormitory Seven was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with a bitter face and a weathered appearance appeared at the door.
"Master!" A cry of surprise rang out from the small dormitory.
"Teacher!" Tang San, not giving him a chance, scurried over and followed him out of the dormitory.
"Who is he? Like someone owes him money!" Xiao Wu patted Wang Sheng beside her.
"Shh! Sister Xiao Wu, he's a teacher at the school. It seems Tang San has become his apprentice," Wang Sheng told the truth. "
Yu Xiaogang," Ye Qiu muttered to himself, looking at the closed door of dormitory seven. Thinking of his theory, he shook his head and chuckled, "He has some talent, but... not much!"
"Xiao Qiu, what are you muttering about here?" Smelling the fragrance wafting from the corner of his nose, Ye Qiu knew who it was without even looking.
"Nothing, hurry up and choose your bed and make your bed."
"Okay!" Xiao Wu responded, her eyes darting around as she scanned the room.
She finally chose the bed next to Ye Qiu.
"Whose things are on here? Take them away quickly. From now on, this bed belongs to Sister Xiao Wu!"
Hearing his older sister speak, Wang Sheng chimed in, "Whose are they? Take them away quickly!"
"Yes, Sister Xiaowu!"
The younger brothers quickly tidied up and even thoughtfully carried Xiaowu's things over.
However, looking at her belongings, Xiaowu looked hesitant. After thinking for a moment, she sat down on Ye Qiu's bedside, staring intently at him.
Ye Qiu's fists were already clenching.
"Xiao Qiu~ help her out, Sister Xiaowu will definitely protect you in the future!"
"Let them help you!" Ye Qiu pointed to Wang Sheng and the others, who stood tall and proud, practically begging for his protection!
"I don't want them to touch my blanket! If you don't help me, I'll sleep in your bed!"
She then pounced on Ye Qiu's blanket, swinging her legs casually.
"..." Ye Qiu stared at her blankly, speechless for a long time.
Because her eyes were covered, Xiaowu couldn't see his expression. Seeing him staring at her for so long, she thought he was angry.
"Ye Qiu." She carefully got up, reaching out to touch Ye Qiu's arm.
"Eh~" Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu sighed softly, dodging her touch, and obediently went to make the bed for her.
Since arriving at Notting Academy, Ye Qiu had intentionally or unintentionally distanced himself from Xiao Wu. He didn't want Tang Hao to remember him, nor did he want anything to happen to Xiao Wu.
Ye Qiu felt that the reason Tang Hao didn't keep Xiao Wu as a pet was because of Tang San, and also because if Ah Yin got too close to him, things might get complicated!
"Come help."
"Hey, coming!"
Ye Qiu's voice woke the still dazed Xiao Wu, who smiled and obediently helped out.
After making the bed, Xiao Wu took out a small bag from her bag. Ye Qiu knew that bag; it was given to her by Old Zhang.
Like presenting a treasure, she held it with both hands: "Xiao Qiu, keep this money!"
Ye Qiu didn't stand on ceremony; he did need the money, as he needed to find a carpenter's job in a few days.
Time passed slowly,
and when Tang San returned, he was wearing the soul tool 'Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon' on his waist, and he even took out a large quilt from it.
This caused everyone to gasp in surprise, and Ye Qiu was also slightly shocked by this amazing scene, though it wasn't apparent from the outside.
"Wang Sheng, Sister Xiao Wu is hungry, let's go eat!"
"Okay, is anyone else going?"
"You should take Sister Xiao Wu to familiarize herself with the place, we still have some dry food."
Except for Ye Qiu and Tang San, everyone else declined.
"Alright then, Sister Xiao Wu, come with me!"
Dormitory 7 was for work-study students, and its location wasn't very good, being quite a distance from the classrooms and the cafeteria.
They walked for a full quarter of an hour while listening to Wang Sheng's introduction.
As soon as they entered the cafeteria, Xiao Wu exclaimed, "It's so big in here!"
Tang San nodded, agreeing with Xiao Wu's words.
"Of course, this place can accommodate all the teachers and students of the entire school!" Wang Sheng explained from the side.
'It's not that big, it just looks a bit novel.' Ye Qiu commented that the canteen, which could accommodate four or five hundred people, was just so-so.
