Chapter 24: Jealousy in the Classroom

“？？？”

Joey looked at Chiyang beside him, his shota eyes instantly turning into bean eyes.

What nonsense are you spouting???

If I put a dog here and fed it two pounds of soybeans, even its farts would sound better than your words.

But such crude language, Joey absolutely couldn’t say aloud.

Because in front of Anya, Joey’s character was that of a cute and gentle gentleman boy—a white moonlight meant to cruelly play with her feelings.

Endure it… Joey…

It’s just a dumb dragon anyway…

But hearing Chiyang’s comment, Anya couldn’t sit still.

“You… what are you saying!!!”

Anya’s face flushed red as she pointed at Chiyang.

“Saying such vulgar words in front of Joey—it’s truly unbecoming of a lady!”

“Huh? Soo…nyu? What’s that…”

Chiyang was at a loss, unable to understand the words of the serious beautiful girl before her, so she just scratched her head.

“I’m just stating the truth…”

“Your body gives off a strong scent…”

“Exactly like livestock about to mate ⭕, and it’s super intense…”

“It’s like the peak of mating season.”

“You… vulgar creature!!!”

Anya was blushing furiously from Chiyang’s words, her voice involuntarily louder.

The commotion drew the attention of the students in front, all of whom looked at the trio with puzzled eyes.

Meanwhile, veins bulged slightly on Joey’s face.

I… I can’t take it anymore…

Under the table, Joey stomped hard on Chiyang’s toes.

“Ugh! That hurts!!!”

Chiyang rolled in pain, then tumbled behind them.

“Ah, ah… My friend’s stomach illness flared up, sorry for the disturbance, everyone.”

The shota said calmly, finally soothing the students in front.

Joey then turned to Anya.

“I’m truly sorry, my friend Chiyang has never received Noble Education.”

As he spoke, the shota’s face also flushed slightly, and he added in a wronged tone:

“Chiyang is my mother’s Illegitimate Daughter. She was abandoned in the Forest at a young age and lived with Beasts for a long time…”

“Though she never received an education, she’s skilled at communicating with magic beasts and swings from tree vines.”

“When my mother brought her back, she had regained speech but hadn’t been properly educated. I apologize to you on her behalf, Anya.”

Joey bowed respectfully to Anya.

This made Anya’s face turn bright red in an instant.

“No, no, that’s not necessary. I understand.”

Anya waved her hand.

“So that’s how it is… Chiyang’s background is truly tragic…”

Tragic my ass…

All that backstory just now, Joey had made up based on a cartoon about Sun Tai Shen from his previous life.

If Anya still didn’t believe it, Joey was ready to claim Chiyang sprang from a stone and became Monkey King.

“Anya, thank you. You’re so kind…”

Joey showed a gentle smile, then reached out his small hand to grasp Anya’s.

Uwah…

Anya felt the shota’s soft, delicate hand and her heart bloomed with joy.

So this is… a boy’s hand?

So soft…

Anya’s face turned pink, and her gaze towards the adorable shota grew even more entranced.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, Chiyang stuck her head between Joey and Anya.

“Joey, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I have a mom?”

“Eh?”

Anya was taken aback by Chiyang’s retort, suspicion rising in her heart.

This dumb dragon…

I’ll kill you…

Blushing is a sign of a boy’s shyness…

It’s not…

Joey truly turned red.

He quickly added:

“Chiyang… stop…”

The shota shook his head sadly.

“It’s just that, as an Illegitimate Daughter, she resents her mother deeply and refuses to acknowledge her.”

“I see…”

Anya nodded.

“What are you all talking about?!”

Chiyang frowned, shaking her head in protest.

“I just don’t have a mom! I don’t have a mom! I simply don’t have one!”

Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

This dumb dragon is going to drive me insane!!!

Can’t you cooperate with me, just a little?!

The shota’s head was already steaming like a kettle.

“Chiyang… stop…”

Anya’s eyes grew sorrowful.

She shook her head.

“I understand…”

“Because I’m also an Illegitimate Daughter…”

Eh, eh? Understand what…

And besides… who asked you?!

The shota stared at the suddenly empathetic Anya in confusion.

“It’s precisely because I’m an Illegitimate Daughter that I was driven out, for fear I’d contest my sister for the Homeland, and banished to this Barbarian Land.”

Anya shook her head.

“Here, order and morality are in ruins…”

“There are **Industries, scammers, and bizarre modified Weapons everywhere.”

“But I can’t abandon my identity. So what if I’m an Illegitimate Daughter?”

Anya declared firmly.

“Even as an Illegitimate Daughter, I’ll live with dignity for all to see.”

“Uh? What are you talking about…”

Chiyang’s brain was completely overloaded. She tilted her head in confusion at Anya.

Joey, too, was stunned for a moment before quickly clasping his hands in admiration.

“Miss Anya, you spoke so well…”

The shota’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears.

“Never mind being an Illegitimate Daughter. Even among Nobles under Female Supremacy, Male Inferiority, I also struggle to survive in the cracks…”

Joey’s face bore a bright, sunlit smile.

“Thank you. You’ve given me the strength to keep living.”

So… so strong…

Anya was utterly moved.

The same background as herself, around the same age, yet such a cute and strong boy.

How could she not be touched…?

Joey squinted at Anya before him.

Ah…

Such a simple-minded chef girl…

She’s easy to handle.

Just as Anya was about to say a few more words to Joey, the Teacher entered, interrupting her.

“Alright, students, class is starting.”

A Teacher with thick glasses rapped on the Blackboard.

Anya stopped chatting with Joey, sitting quietly beside him and listening to the lesson.

But the serious beauty couldn’t absorb a single word.

Her mind was filled with thoughts of Joey…

And as for Joey beside her…

The previously gentle, virtuous boy’s face changed instantly, glaring at Chiyang.

“You big dummy!”

“When I’m lying—no, when I’m enjoying roleplay, can’t you just cooperate a little…?”

“Eh? How was I supposed to know what you were doing…”

Chiyang frowned.

“You didn’t tell me anything…”

“Also…”

The red-haired beauty trailed off, her cheeks gradually turning red.

“And what else…”

Joey stared at Chiyang, who hesitated for a long time, and pressed her.

“And also… I…”

“I don’t like that girl getting close to you…”

Chiyang’s expression was aggrieved, her eyes drifting elsewhere with a hint of guilt.

“Why?”

The shota asked curiously.

“I just don’t like it…”

Chiyang said stubbornly.

“How should I know why…”

“Every girl who tries to get close to you, I want to kill them all.”

“I hate people looking at you like prey…”
