Done.
Under my strong insistence, I didn’t end up coming to school with Qian Yin.
Hmph, if she still dares to push me around here, I’ll lose it with her!
Even a cornered rabbit bites, and if she pushes me too far, just watch me take her down!
Ugh, but my poor body… That guy last night wasn’t gentle at all, nearly broke me apart.
Now, walking to school, I’m practically wobbling.
Growing up, when have I ever suffered such grievances?
No way, I can’t bottle up this frustration.
I need to vent it on someone, and you, you lousy system, are it!
“Hey, stupid system, why didn’t you help me?! You were there, weren’t you?”
“Replying to Host: Unless it’s an event related to a triggered task or the Host actively summons this system, this system remains offline.”
“Hmph, other people awaken systems and get all kinds of cheats, soaring to the peak of life.
Me?
Day one of awakening this system, I get screwed over three times.
Forget reaching life’s peak; I’d settle for not hitting life’s climax!
“Replying to Host: This can only be attributed to your stupidity and weak spirit…”
“What? Me, stupid? Me, weak? I’m a grown man, how could I be?!”
Whatever, no point arguing with this useless system. There’s something more important to ask.
“Hey, you mentioned yesterday that the plot’s delayed trigger. When’s it gonna happen?”
“Replying to Host: The Host needs to go to the warehouse administrator’s office to trigger this plot.”
Warehouse administrator’s office?
That reminds me of the previous worldline.
Back when I was a delinquent, I met a good buddy.
Later, when my family went bankrupt and I was forced to become a teacher, he happened to be unemployed too.
After I pleaded with Ning Xueyang, he got a job here as the school’s warehouse administrator.
But now, with the worldline changed and me turned into a girl, it’s hard to imagine I’d still cross paths with someone like him, right?
Thinking of this, I can’t help but feel a strange pang of melancholy. I actually liked that guy, especially his goofy, playful personality.
Snapping out of those extra thoughts, my focus returns to reality.
Today is the first day after the high school entrance ceremony, and according to school rules, the next few days are military training.
For most students, that’s obviously grueling torture, but for someone like me, who’s neither a homeroom teacher nor a logistics staff member, it’s the perfect chance to slack off!
Still, I can’t completely slack off.
If I just nap in the office, I might start out on my desk but wake up in someone’s bed!
That thought alone is terrifying, so to slack off safely, I need to find a secure spot.
In my previous life, I often hung out at my delinquent buddy’s warehouse office.
Now, reborn, it’s likely not him anymore, but if I can get chummy with whoever’s there, they probably won’t mind me hanging around.
Why am I so sure?
Heh heh heh, because I’m the world’s most dashing Young Master Gui Ye.
Even in this loli body, my charm’s unstoppable!
Here we are.
I’ll check in at the office first to avoid being marked absent, then head over.
Walking into the office, I don’t run into an ambush from Ning Xueyang.
Yin Yihong is holding a morning meeting with the students, and Qian Yin’s behind me, so no dangerous characters in sight.
I can’t help but feel secretly pleased—maybe this life isn’t as tough as I thought!
If every day could be like this, plus the system giving me tasks that let me occasionally dominate a few girls and make them submit to me, it’d be pretty close to the harem protagonist life I dreamed of!
Wiping the smirk off my face, I stick to the plan and head to the warehouse administrator’s office.
As I mentioned, today’s military training, so the warehouse admin might be working early to move equipment.
But to my surprise, from a distance, there’s no warehouse admin in sight at the massive warehouse—just a tiny pink-haired loli.
She’s wearing a gym outfit, clutching two cushions almost as big as her, staggering this way.
Maybe because the cushions are so huge, she’s clenching her teeth, looking exhausted, wobbling as she walks.
Seeing a cute girl in distress, how could I, Gui Ye, just stand by?
I rush over to her side, steady her wobbly body with my hand, and take one of the cushions from her.
Maybe because she’s so drained, she doesn’t say anything, just flashes me a sweet, tired smile before heading to a small cart nearby.
I follow and place the cushion in the cart.
Just then, the cart’s full, and another girl comes over, pushing it.
“This is the last load. Make sure to bring the cart back after you deliver it,” the pink-haired loli says, wiping sweat from her forehead, sounding exhausted as she instructs the girl.
The girl nods and wheels the cart away.
The last load?
Does that mean she’s already moved tons of these carts?
Why would the school make such a tiny girl move all this stuff?
Just as I’m about to ask her, she speaks first.
“Little sister, thank you! If it weren’t for you, I would’ve fallen.”
“I’m not a little sister! I’m a teacher here!”
I put my hands on my hips, puffing up indignantly.
How dare she—I help her, and she has the nerve to call me little sister?!
“Huh? A teacher at such a young age? Is this school hiring child labor now?”
The pink-haired loli stares at me, eyes wide.
“Don’t let my size fool you! I’m twenty-four, a professional teacher, okay?! And shouldn’t I be the one saying that? Why’s the school making you move equipment?”
I rant loudly, already plotting that if they’re really employing child labor, I’m calling the cops and sending that evil Ning Xueyang to jail!
“Twenty-four? Then you’re still a little sister, hehe~ I’m twenty-five, so call me big sister~”
The pink-haired loli grins, flashing a cheeky smile that doesn’t match her cute face at all.
It weirdly reminds me of that jerk—wait, he’s twenty-five too, isn’t he?
Being called “little sister” by someone who looks this young ticks me off, so naturally, I refuse.
“No way! One year older makes you so great? And you still haven’t answered why you’re moving stuff for the school!”
“Asking why I’m moving stuff? Heh heh heh, well, I’ll let you in on a secret—I’m the school’s new warehouse administrator!”
“WHAT?!?!”
