Chapter 243: Chapter 243

"My lord, I... I’m full now."

After a hearty meal and drink, Jiu Li collapsed onto the bed, a satisfied look spreading across her flushed face.

"Now that you’re full, hurry up and get out. Don’t even think about being lazy and not leaving again."

Having said that, Su Yan stretched out his hand and pushed Jiu Li, who was lying beside him, urging her to get out of bed and leave quickly.

"My lord, I’m so sleepy," she replied weakly.

Jiu Li responded feebly, then curled up under the covers, turned her face towards Su Yan, and closed her eyes.

Clearly, she was planning on being lazy and not leaving, her intentions set on sharing a bed with Su Yan.

Unfortunately for her, Su Yan, who was as straight as they come, had no intention of indulging her.

He urged again, "Hey, stop pretending to sleep. Get up and go back to your own room."

"Um, Little Nine can’t get up; I have no strength left," Jiu Li whined playfully. "Either I sleep in your room, or you have to carry me back to my own."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan fell silent for a moment. He then looked at Jiu Li on the bed and said flatly, "If that’s the case, then stay and sleep in my room."

Upon hearing Su Yan’s words, Jiu Li, still feigning sleep on the bed, felt her heart leap with joy.

Then, with an air of being unexpectedly favored, she softly said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness."

"My lord, do you want me to... AH!"

Jiu Li opened her beautiful eyes to look at Su Yan, about to ask if he wanted her to warm his bed, but before she could finish her sentence, she was swiftly kicked off the bed.

The delicate and easily toppled Little Nine Fox fell to the floor, landing squarely on her behind.

It felt as if her backside had been spanked repeatedly; a burning pain shot through it.

"My lord, what are you doing?"

Jiu Li rubbed her pert behind with her hands as she got up from the ground. She looked up at Su Yan on the bed, her face full of wounded feelings.

Observing her, Su Yan, his perfectly handsome face impassive, said, "I did agree to let you sleep in my room, but I didn’t agree to let you sleep on my bed."

"You have two choices: either suffer the indignity of sleeping on the floor or go back to your own room. Either way, forget about my bed."

"How you choose is up to you. Now, I’m going to sleep. Don’t bother me."

After speaking, Su Yan covered himself with a thin quilt and went straight to sleep. He fell asleep as quickly as Nobita Nobi, leaving Little Nine Fox shivering with cold indignation by the bed.

「Four o’clock in the afternoon.」

Su Yan, who had slept soundly on the bed for nearly two hours, woke up feeling satisfied.

He tried to sit up from the bed, only to find something heavy on him.

Glancing up slightly, lo and behold, it was Jiu Li, the troublemaker, sleeping on top of him.

And she wasn’t just sleeping; she had her arms wrapped around him and had even boldly placed her voluptuous thigh across his body in a very unladylike posture.

Now, Su Yan was truly angry!

He had told her a hundred times not to sleep on his bed, yet here she was, sleeping right on top of him—and even drooling!

Who could stand for that?

Thinking this, Su Yan, without any hesitation, immediately kicked Jiu Li off the bed.

Jiu Li, who had been sleeping on top of him, was kicked right off the bed.

With a soft, feminine "OUCH!", Jiu Li crashed to the floor, her firm backside suffering a second assault.

Jiu Li felt like crying. Looking utterly wronged, she got up and exclaimed, "My lord, you’re so cruel!"

"Don’t worry," Su Yan said coolly. "If you keep up these antics, it won’t just be the floorboards hurting your behind. Consider yourself warned."

With that, Su Yan threw off the thin quilt and got out of bed. He was ready to take a stroll outside and familiarize himself with the campus. He also planned to swing by the cafeteria for a meal and then check out the businesses in Jingdou for potential deals.

"Having a master like you is bad luck for eight generations," Jiu Li muttered under her breath. She then followed Su Yan, massaging her pert behind as they left the dormitory to explore the dazzling world outside.

「Leaving the dormitory building.」

Su Yan led Jiu Li as they wandered around the campus, not spotting many other people.

It was the summer break, and most students had gone home to enjoy themselves.

After all, with studies being so demanding, a rare holiday was a chance for the proud students of Jing University to show off back home.

Organizing class reunions, meeting up with past girlfriends and boyfriends, and reveling in their changed statuses, students sought various thrills.

Some would head back to their alma maters to give lectures as distinguished alumni, basking in the adoration of younger fans to satisfy their vanity.

Some might say that for those smart enough to get into Jingdou University, such childish behavior is a waste of time better spent studying.

But to each their own.

In life, showing off is something most people enjoy, regardless of age.

The only difference lies in how people of different ages strut their stuff.

For many young folks, it’s a matter of blatantly flaunting their capabilities, eager to make a strong impression every day.

The most common form is through social media, where they show off their fully-maxed Attributes on platforms like Feixin.

As people grow older, they tend to boast in subtler ways. Chapters first released on ⓝovelFire.net

When they show off, it’s not so obvious; it’s up to others to read between the lines.

They aim for a kind of invisible boasting, the kind that leaves the most lethal impression.

If you notice they’re showing off, you just play along and give them a few compliments.
