Since neither of the two little dumpling’s parents would come to pick them up, no one had really won over the other.

Soon, Teacher Lu from the prodigy cla.s.s came to teach the students.

It was probably because the Emperor had given instructions that Teacher Lu shouldn’t pay extra attention to the Little County Princess, so he simply introduced her to the cla.s.s as a new student named Yan Xue.

It was, of course, an alias.

The difference between Little Xue and Yan Xue was just a single word, but when Teacher Lu said the latter name with such seriousness and calmness, it didn’t give the impression that it was definitely a girl’s name.

There were three reasons for this.

First, there was already someone in the cla.s.s named Mo Hanxue, and he was a boy.

Second, except for Jing Kong, no one else would even think of something like a girl disguising herself as a boy.

Third, and most importantly, the Little County Princess had been too soft and delicate when introducing herself to Little Jing Kong, making it obvious that she was a girl easy to bully.

Little Jing Kong believed that a real young man should be like him—standing tall with a straight back, his gaze resolute, exuding a masculine energy that seemed to reach 2.8 meters!

Teacher Lu: "Jing Kong, why are you hiding behind your books again?"

The 2.8 meters masculine young man instantly shrank to 2.8 centimeters.

Little Jing Kong silently pushed aside the three books in front of him. Being too small had its disadvantages——the desk was taller than him.

Actually, the Little County Princess was also small, but since she was a County Princess and wasn’t here to study but just to experience life, Teacher Lu, of course, wouldn’t be too strict with her.

...Mainly, he didn’t dare to.

This was the Little County Princess's first time being with so many children, which was a different experience from before.

The learning atmosphere was also quite different.

The students at the Imperial Academy were mostly imperial relatives and highest n.o.bility. While some were genuinely studying, many were there just to pa.s.s the time.

In contrast, there were almost no students in the prodigy cla.s.s who were there just to pa.s.s time——at least not until today.

They had all been strictly selected, and only those with exceptional intelligence could join the cla.s.s.

The Little County Princess was one of only two students who got in through connections.

The first was the Little County Princess’s father, Lord Yanshan.

Even Little Jing Kong hadn’t immediately entered the prodigy cla.s.s with his admission letter and had to pa.s.s the entrance exam first.

The Little County Princess found this cla.s.s quite interesting, more so than the Imperial Academy, and decided to study hard to become the smartest little girl in Shengdu.

She took out her books and the special little brush given to her by her Imperial Uncle and earnestly began taking notes.

By the end of the morning, she had drawn eight little turtles.

Little Jing Kong, on the other hand, studied seriously all morning, not because he loved studying, but because this was his duty.

After all, with his bad brother-in-law and two older brothers who didn’t like studying, he had no choice but to be the little pillar of the family.

He had to earn a t.i.tle and make a name for himself early on, so he could take care of JiaoJiao, his bad brother-in-law, his two older brothers, and all the little ones from Little One to Little Eleven.

The arrival of another little dumpling in the cla.s.s still caught the attention of the students. First, the Little County Princess was too young—even younger than Little Jing Kong. Second, The Little County Princess was so cute, sitting there with her rosy cheeks and soft, plump appearance that made everyone want to pinch her face.

After cla.s.s, a few bold cla.s.smates gathered around her, some standing in front of her desk, others leaning on it, their eyes wide as they watched the Little County Princess .

Most people would feel uneasy around adults, but with the Little County Princess, it was the other way around.

After all, in the imperial palace, no child would dare get this close to her.

"Hey, little dumpling, where are you from?"

"I... came from home."

Her Imperial Uncle had said that the imperial palace was her home too.

"How old are you?"

The Little County Princess counted on her fingers and then held up three fingers, "Four years old!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

This little dumpling didn’t even know how to count—so adorably silly!

Everyone unanimously agreed that this little dumpling was easier to fool than the other one. That other little dumpling was too fierce, always taking first place in every exam, and had especially tough little fists.

"Did you understand the lesson today?"

"Yes, I understood it!"

"So, what did Teacher Lu teach?"

"He taught, he taught..." The Little County Princess couldn't answer.

She had spent the whole morning drawing turtles and hadn’t listened to anything the teacher said.

The mischievous nature of her cla.s.smates surfaced, and the boldest one reached out, trying to pinch the Little County Princess’s face.

The Little County Princess had plenty of experience dealing with adults, but she was completely confused when it came to children. She had no idea what to do, so she just stared blankly as the hand moved closer to her small face.

Suddenly, a plump little hand, with not-so-defined joints, grabbed the wrist of the bold cla.s.smate.

"What do you think you're doing?"

The owner of the little hand asked with an air of dominance.

The nine-year-old cla.s.smate, whose wrist was grabbed, instantly shrank back, stammering, "N-nothing."

The cla.s.s bully of the prodigy cla.s.s, Little Jing Kong, spoke with great authority, "No bullying the new cla.s.smate, or I’ll let Little Nine bite you!"

Was Little Jing Kong’s position as the cla.s.s bully due to his strong little fists?

Definitely not.

Anyone with a fierce gyrfalcon backing them would have strong fists, right?

The crowd quickly dispersed.

Little Jing Kong returned to his seat.

The Little County Princess, rescued from the panic of having her face pinched, looked at Little Jing Kong with admiration and said, “Wow, you’re so impressive!”

Once a member of the notorious trio in the Imperial Academy of the State of Zhao, Little Jing Kong waved his little hand like a boss and said with great pride, “Oh, it’s nothing. If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me, and I’ll protect you!”

The Little County Princess nodded sweetly, "Who is Little Nine?"

Little Jing Kong replied, "The bird I raised."

The Little County Princess excitedly said, "I have a bird at home too!"

Little Jing Kong thought for a moment, guessing from her excited tone, and asked, "Do you want to have a bird contest with me?"

The Little County Princess's eyes widened, "Can we?"

"Of course." Little Jing Kong nodded seriously, "It's settled then. Bring your bird tomorrow."

"Okay!"

As someone with experience, Little Jing Kong felt it was necessary to give her a heads-up, “But you should bring your bird secretly. Don’t let Teacher Lu find out, or he might confiscate your bird.”

The Little County Princess obediently nodded, "Okay, I’ll remember!"

Since she was so well-behaved, Little Jing Kong decided not to pull her little ponytail today. He continued to remind her, "Also, if I’m not around and those boys come to bully you again, you should be fierce."

The Little County Princess shook her head decisively, "I can’t be fierce to them. I’m not allowed to bully the younger ones."

Bullying Ming Junw.a.n.g didn’t count, as he was from a different generation and not a young child, but the ages of these cla.s.smates were about the same as her little grandnephews.

As someone in the grandmother's generation, she had to maintain the dignity of a senior and know how to care for the younger ones.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the s.h.i.+ family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hards.h.i.+p and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When s.h.i.+ Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the s.h.i.+ family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like s.h.i.+ Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

s.h.i.+ Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
