Volume 1 Chapter 28: Lin Lin Decides to Launch a Desperate Charge
“Coach… I want to study math… sob sob sob—sniff… no… no one is willing to teach me… no one wants to teach me at all…”
The girl was about to cry from panic. There was almost no time left. She really couldn’t delay anymore.
Right now, the only person in front of her was Gao Liang, not even a “salted fish” backup option. The most urgent thing was to make him agree as soon as possible. She didn’t want to become a useless person with an IQ of only 20, boo hoo.
“Uh…”
Gao Liang waved his hand awkwardly. “Um, Lin Lin, can you stand up first? You’re lying on the ground and hugging my leg like this…”
“Tsk—”
Huh?
Gao Liang froze. Did he just hear someone click their tongue in annoyance?
He stood there, looking at Lin Lin lying on the floor like she had been knocked down on purpose, and didn’t know what to do.
The girl kept crying and talking at the same time. “Hurry up and agree… if you don’t… if you don’t…”
There’s no time left!
Hurry up and agree already! Are you enjoying this or what? Can you really be so heartless and just let me lie here like this?
If it weren’t to make you agree, I wouldn’t do this at all!
The girl lifted her head and looked at him with pitiful eyes.
“Uh…”
Seeing how miserable she looked, Gao Liang suddenly remembered a small tip a female streamer told him last night.
‘Start with some simple pranks. For example, when the other person needs your help, ask for a small embarrassing condition in exchange. If they like you, even if it’s embarrassing, they might still do it!’
The little vampire girl’s voice echoed in his mind, and Gao Liang nodded to himself.
Yeah, let’s do this!
“Ahem… Lin Lin,” Gao Liang squatted down and looked at her seriously. “I have one condition. If you agree, I’ll tutor you!”
“I agree! I agree! I agree already!”
Lin Lin kept turning her head to check the remaining mission time while staring at him angrily.
This guy really is a bad person, taking advantage of her at a time like this.
But the situation was too urgent. Boo hoo, for the sake of her future, no matter what condition it was, it looked like she had to accept it.
Anyway, just agree quickly! Otherwise, you’ll end up tutoring someone with an IQ of 20, boo hoo…
However, Gao Liang didn’t agree right away. Instead, he looked away nervously and said shyly to Lin Lin:
“Can you… can you… say ‘meow’ once?”
“……”
Ah, damn it. Saying something like this is really embarrassing.
Gao Liang secretly glanced at her face from the corner of his eye, trying to see her reaction.
But Lin Lin seemed to have completely frozen.
She stared at him in disbelief, her lips twitching slightly. Then her cheeks quickly turned red, and finally…
The girl turned her head away and said firmly, “A person may be killed, but not humiliated!”
“Huh? No, no, that’s not what I meant! I didn’t mean to insult you, Lin Lin! I just… wanted to hear you say ‘meow’!”
“I didn’t expect you to have such a perverted hobby.”
“Huh?”
“I’m not going to be your cat girl.”
Her attitude was still firm.
Even though Gao Liang still didn’t fully understand what was going on, Lin Lin had already figured it out.
So-called… “meow once” was basically asking her to become this guy’s pet.
Damn it. Educated people can even say something dirty in such polite words. This guy really is a refined scoundrel.
She could even come up with the idea of keeping a pet—ah! The image was already in her head: this guy holding a collar, walking toward her with a creepy smile!
I will never give in!
“Lin Lin, did you… misunderstand something? What… cat girl?”
Gao Liang’s way of thinking clearly couldn’t keep up with Lin Lin’s, even though his IQ was probably much higher than hers.
Lin Lin still turned her face away. Being her enemy’s pet? That was impossible in this lifetime!
Then…
She turned her head and looked at the system.
Ten seconds left…
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six…
“Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow!!!”
The girl suddenly turned around, grabbed Gao Liang’s hand, and started shouting “meow” in a panicked, terrified voice. Over and over again, like a machine. Gao Liang was so shocked that he stepped back two steps.
“Lin Lin, okay, okay! I—I—I agree, isn’t that fine?!”
Gao Liang hurriedly waved his hands to stop her.
【Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully bonded with top student: Gao Liang. System evaluation: a true genius.】
W… what was that?
The girl’s mouth twitched, but since the system had already given the message, she finally let out a sigh of relief. She released Gao Liang’s hand and calmed herself down.
Standing to the side, Gao Liang quietly watched Lin Lin’s reaction. He remembered the little vampire girl’s serious advice and tried hard to match what just happened with those tips.
But, uh…
Wasn’t Lin Lin’s reaction just now a bit too intense?
She was like a machine gun, just “meow meow meow.”
Shouldn’t she have felt very embarrassed instead?
Hmm…
Girls really are strange.
After a short pause, Gao Liang slowly spoke, “What you said just now… were you serious? When should we do it? Or maybe go to my place?”
Why did she suddenly want tutoring from him? And why was she in such a hurry?
Gao Liang couldn’t figure it out, so he just asked directly.
But when these words reached Lin Lin’s ears, they took on a completely different meaning.
Just now…
What you said…
Was it serious?
In her imagination, a rich, elegant man in a black tailcoat swirled a glass of red wine in one hand and a cat toy in the other as he asked this question.
On the floor, a girl wearing cat ears, a black-and-white maid outfit, and a fluffy cat tail looked up at him and let out a begging “meow~”.
“Don’t even think about it! How could I possibly go to your house?!” Lin Lin shouted in shame.
Even though she had already agreed to become his “cat girl,” breaking her promise shouldn’t be a big deal, right?
“Hmm… then how about we go to your house?” Gao Liang said with what he thought was a friendly smile.
So scary, that smile was like a devil’s.
Lin Lin shook her head hard. “No way! If my parents find out, I’m dead!”
“Then… how about the classroom?” Gao Liang scratched his head and asked in confusion.
“Y-you—you pervert! In public?! You dare do that kind of thing?!”
Lin Lin stared at him with her mouth wide open.
“Then where should we go?” Gao Liang sighed helplessly. “If nothing else works, let’s just go to my place. My home is in a villa area, the scenery is nice, and it’ll be more comfortable to study there.”
Ah…
Lin Lin felt like what he really meant was—
‘You can’t escape. Don’t you know my family background? You agreed yourself, and now you want to go back on it? Behave and learn how to be a pet in the little woods!’
I… I can’t escape?
Am I really going to become my enemy’s pet just like this?
“I—I—I’ll die before I let that happen!”
“Huh?”
Gao Liang stared in shock as the girl charged at him like a raging bull in a desperate attack. He quickly dodged and shouted in panic, “Wasn’t it you who asked me to tutor you?!”
“Huh?”
The girl, who had crashed into the wall, held her head and turned back slowly.
Tutoring?
