“Next, the system will issue a task for the host. The condition to trigger this plot is to obtain Mo Tao’s contact information. This task has no follow-up plot, but completing it will unlock subsequent task events related to Mo Tao.”
The system’s voice came from my mind, and upon hearing it, I felt a surge of joy.
Aha!
So, as long as I get Mo Tao’s contact information, there will be more juicy plot developments later, right?
In that case, I have to get Mo Tao’s contact info~
Hehe, don’t blame me, Mo Yu.
I didn’t have any crooked thoughts about your sister originally, but since the system issued this task, I have to complete it~
So~ hehehe, hehehe~~~~
“Sister Gui Ye, what are you laughing about?”
Mo Tao looked at me, her face showing a puzzled expression.
Only then did I realize I was so caught up in my excitement that I forgot I was standing in front of Mo Tao.
Suppressing my silly grin, I coughed lightly a couple of times.
“Ahem! It’s just… I just thought of something funny, don’t worry about it!”
“Oh… I see.” After saying that, Mo Tao slowly lowered her head.
I glanced at Mo Yu Qian Yin behind me; they were still ordering food and would probably come over soon.
So now was the perfect time to act!
After some thought, I decided that leveraging Mo Tao’s guilt toward me was the best approach.
“Mo Tao, even though it was unintentional, you still tricked me onto Qian Yin’s bed, so you owe me a little compensation, right?”
“Um, what kind of compensation do you want?”
Mo Tao lifted her head, glancing at me tentatively.
Hehe, as expected, all girls react the same way to that line.
Next, I couldn’t directly state my goal, or it would seem too intentional and make her wary, which would make it much harder to build a relationship later.
Instead, I should act like I’m thinking it over before speaking.
This way, Mo Tao would think I only asked for this because I couldn’t come up with a better compensation idea, and she wouldn’t be too guarded.
“Hmm… how about this? Let’s exchange contact information as your compensation to me.”
Following the routine I had rehearsed, I pretended to think it over before answering Mo Tao.
She didn’t think much of it and immediately opened her phone.
“Alright then. This is my WeChat; scan me.”
“Hehe, done.”
After some quick actions, I saw the friend request confirmation on my screen and smiled happily.
With her contact info secured, I might even be able to ask Mo Tao out for dinner or drinks when I have time—how delightful~
But I shouldn’t rush things now.
Given her reserved personality, I decided to play it cool for the time being.
For someone like her, I need to take it slow, wait until she opens up, and then make my move.
Although, since becoming a loli, I haven’t really taken the lead much, but with Mo Tao’s shy personality, I think I can pull off being the assertive one.
After that, nothing much happened.
Since Qian Yin had something to do early in the morning and needed to head to school, we went to school after breakfast.
The students were still doing military training today, but only for the morning.
Regular classes would start in the afternoon.
What annoyed me, though, was that even with afternoon classes, I still had to teach because my class was scheduled for the first period.
Ugh, what a loss! I have to teach an extra class!
While I was still sulking, there was a knock at the door, followed by a soft, loli-like voice.
“Teacher, it’s Yue Ran…”
I looked up and saw an adorable blue-haired loli standing at the door, her clear eyes carrying a hint of worry that tugged at my heart.
“Oh, Yue Ran, what’s up?”
I gave her a gentle smile and walked over to her.
“Teacher…”
Little Yue Ran looked at me, her round eyes blinking.
I patted her head, and at that moment, Saki Riko Mochizuki’s voice came from the door.
“Teacher, today’s military training involves a competition called the ‘human train,’ where each group needs three people. We had the numbers planned, but since Xia Qingyang isn’t here, our group is short one person.”
“Yue Ran, are you saying you want me to join your group?”
I looked at Bai Yue Ran, and she nodded slightly.
“Yes. But if Teacher thinks it’s too weird, it’s okay to say no. If we can’t find a teammate, though, we’ll definitely get scolded by the instructor again.”
Even though Bai Yue Ran said that, how could I bear to refuse her?
I rubbed her little head again and comforted her softly.
“Don’t worry, I won’t refuse. Plus, I’m pretty experienced with this activity.”
“That’s great! Thank you, Teacher!”
Hearing my response, the worry on Bai Yue Ran’s face vanished, and she looked at me with a smile, her fair cheeks showing sweet dimples.
Her adorable smile warmed my heart, and I smiled back at her.
What an innocent and pure child.
It’s just a pity she’s so timid and introverted.
I vaguely remember that during my high school military training, we also had the human train activity.
The so-called human train (sometimes called “big footboard”) involves a group of people standing on a wooden board, holding ropes attached to it, and moving forward together.
During this, keeping in sync and maintaining balance is crucial, and then you can speed up.
Otherwise, it’s easy to fall and get hurt.
“So, what’s next?” I took a sip of water and looked at Bai Yue Ran.
“Um… how about Teacher practices with us before the military training starts? The others have already practiced, but our group hasn’t found our last member yet…”
“Sure, I don’t have anything else going on anyway.”
This was also a good opportunity for me to get closer to Bai Yue Ran.
Of course, I don’t have any weird intentions.
I just thought that building a good relationship would help me encourage and guide this cute little one to overcome her shyness.
I still remember, before my rebirth, how much effort I and her homeroom teacher, Yin Yihong, put into helping her.
“Thank you, Teacher. After morning self-study, we’ll come find you. I’ll head back to class now.”
As Bai Yue Ran left, Saki Riko Mochizuki’s expression suddenly changed.
She walked toward me with a mischievous grin.
“W-What are you doing? This is the office!” I instinctively covered my chest and stepped back.
But she just walked up to me without doing anything.
“Hehe, don’t be scared, Teacher. I just wanted to say, during the training later, I’ll be at the back of the team. You’ll naturally take the second spot, right?”
From her look, it wasn’t hard to guess what this weirdo was up to.
“No way, you’re just…”
“Oh? Think carefully, Miss Gui Ye. You wouldn’t want me to make a move on our pure Bai Yue Ran, would you~?”
With that, Saki Riko Mochizuki turned and left the office.
