The cherry blossoms haven’t fully bloomed yet, but standing in the cherry blossom grove, you can still smell a faint sweet fragrance unique to cherry blossoms.
Ning Chuxue and Mu Wannuo tacitly avoided mentioning what had just happened.
Maybe it was because they knew few people came here, or maybe because the cherry blossoms hadn’t bloomed, but along the way they only encountered a few scattered individuals. These people were all busy with their own affairs, at most they would look up out of politeness, greet Mu Wannuo, and then continue on their way. Mu Wannuo merely nodded slightly in response.
“Sister Muwan is really popular at school.” Ning Chuxue couldn’t help but remark.
“Not really. These people are just after my future prospects.”
In fact, that was exactly as Mu Wannuo had said. If it were some lecturers whose futures were sealed off, some people might immediately change their attitude.
“Then Sister Muwan is quite impressive. Relying only on yourself, you’ve won everyone’s respect. I know that very few can achieve that.”
Ning Chuxue also began to recall the information she had gathered these past few days. In this society today, those who have risen to high positions on their own can be counted on one hand.
Mu Wannuo couldn’t help but laugh, her eyes looking at Ning Chuxue with undisguised fondness. “Because only by constantly climbing upward can I keep the little pitiful one from being bullied.”
Only by obtaining greater power and more money could they protect this moment of peace. At the same time, it would also help find a way to treat Ning Chuxue. They had been running around for this purpose for a long time, but now they had no clues at all. They didn’t even know what the pathogen was, or when it had been contracted.
“Hehe, then I’ll have to repay the three sisters well in the future~”
Ning Chuxue’s voice was lively, like a cool breeze in the scorching summer, causing Mu Wannuo to pause unconsciously. When she came back to her senses, her face was already covered in a smile. “The little pitiful one is still the same as before, nothing has changed.”
Mentioning the past, Ning Chuxue also became somewhat interested. “The past? What was I like before?” Ning Chuxue’s right hand held Mu Wannuo’s, and the doll in her left hand was also stuffed into Mu Wannuo’s arms.
“The same as the current Chuxue.”
“What a vague answer.” Ning Chuxue replied disappointedly. She had thought she might get some clues about the original owner of this body before she transmigrated. Instead, it was brushed off with ambiguity.
Mu Wannuo didn’t continue the topic either, and the two walked along the path like that. Until they arrived at a wide square. In the center of the square was a large fountain, which attracted the attention of passersby. But Ning Chuxue’s first glance wasn’t at the fountain, but at the direction of a bulletin board on the right. There, about thirty people were gathered, and in the very center was a person wearing a Student Union badge.
The unusual sight immediately piqued Ning Chuxue’s curiosity. “Sister Muwan, what’s going on over there?”
“Probably the punishment notice for Qian Sheng, and the expulsion notice for Qian Yuan.”
Mentioning the name Qian Sheng, Ning Chuxue felt a chill of disgust. But upon hearing it was a punishment notice, her heart relaxed. She felt a strange familiarity with the name “Qian Yuan,” but couldn’t remember where she had heard it. After a mental storm, Ning Chuxue suddenly had a revelation. Ying had mentioned it in passing before; he was Qian Sheng’s father. Then she thought again and felt something was off.
“How do you know about this? Did you sneak a look?”
This guess had logic; maybe Mu Wannuo had taken a glance on her way back from the meeting.
“I haven’t seen it. I already knew about this matter.”
Qian Yuan’s expulsion was orchestrated by her. Even if she had left the meeting midway, it didn’t affect her confidence. Qian Yuan was definitely going to be expelled. As for Qian Sheng, the outcome of being expelled was inevitable.
“Okay.” Ning Chuxue conceded.
How Mu Wannuo knew this was still questionable. A promising lecturer knowing some information in advance didn’t seem problematic.
“Where are we going next?”
Having been going around in circles, Ning Chuxue was already lost. Now, like a headless fly, she instinctively followed Mu Wannuo around.
“The little pitiful one’s future classroom. Although there are no classes today, it’s necessary to get familiar with it in advance.”
Ning Chuxue immediately gasped. She was inherently afraid of unfamiliar places. She had barely gotten used to being taken care of by three sisters in turns, and now she had to adapt to many unfamiliar classmates.
“Can I not go?” Ning Chuxue desperately squeezed out two tears, looking up at Mu Wannuo with reddened eyes.
“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to. But tomorrow I won’t be at school, so you might need to come by yourself.”
Mu Wannuo looked down at the red-eyed Ning Chuxue beside her, hiding a hint of playfulness in her heart. But her expression and tone were extremely gentle.
Hearing this, Ning Chuxue froze instantly.
“Let me come to this huge school full of strangers all by myself?”
Thinking of this, she instinctively tightened her grip on Mu Wannuo’s fingers and whispered, “No, I suddenly think it’s a good idea to get familiar in advance…”
Her voice sounded uncertain, but Mu Wannuo found it exceptionally cute, and her heart softened accordingly.
“Good girl.”
After praising, she gently wiped away the two tears Ning Chuxue had forcibly squeezed out with her fingers. Even though these were evidence of Ning Chuxue trying to fool her, she wiped very gently and carefully, afraid that if she wasn’t careful, she would smear Ning Chuxue’s face like a little cat.
“Alright, let’s go.” Standing up, she led Ning Chuxue towards the teaching building. Ning Chuxue followed closely behind her, afraid that if she wasn’t careful, Mu Wannuo would disappear from her sight.
Behind them, the notice about Qian Sheng and his son spread through most of the campus almost instantly. Incidents where both the guarantor and the guaranteed are expelled at the same time are very rare. Such a novel event naturally attracted a large crowd of students eager to gossip.
This matter would then spread like a plague through class group chats, phone calls, and other means of information dissemination, growing wider and wider. The school authorities didn’t intervene to control the discussion, or rather, from the moment this notice was posted, they never intended to control it.
This would serve as a good warning to everyone. Letting everyone know that they must not do bad things, otherwise they would be punished by the school.
Ning Chuxue followed Mu Wannuo to a building about four stories high. Mu Wannuo led her to the second floor. Along the way, they saw very few students in the corridor; it seemed most had already left.
“Here it is. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Your sister is your professional course instructor.”
