The next morning, Ye Ling got up early as usual and made breakfast.

Since Ning Ruoxi didn’t have class this morning, he didn’t wake her. He just left a bowl of porridge on the table for her, along with a note.

’Baby, be good and eat up!’

With that done, Ye Ling drove to Modu University. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

He had planned to go straight to his classroom, but he was stopped on the way by a girl.

"Master!"

The one who had grabbed him was none other than Luo Yue, who had recently moved into the school dorms. The girl was looking at him with a mischievous grin.

"What do you want?"

Ye Ling immediately shot the girl a wary glance.

’In his experience, that look on Luo Yue’s face always meant trouble.’

"Hehe, don’t be so tense. I just need you to help me with a little something."

Luo Yue flashed a very ’innocent’ smile.

To be fair, given Luo Yue’s adorable looks, calling her smile "innocent" wouldn’t be out of place. The quotation marks were purely a product of Ye Ling’s personal bias.

’Knew it. This can’t be good.’

Ye Ling thought to himself, but his expression remained impassive as he asked, "What trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?"

"I’m not the one causing trouble! Someone’s bothering me."

Luo Yue sighed in frustration.

At this, Ye Ling grew curious. ’Besides me, who else could possibly make this Little Witch sigh?’

"Quick, tell me. Who is this great saint, and what good deed have they done?"

Ye Ling asked immediately.

’He felt he just had to meet a person like that.’

"Wow, Master, you’ve changed!"

Luo Yue’s eyes widened as she stared at Ye Ling, her face a mask of playful indignation.

"I haven’t changed. I’ve always been like this."

Ye Ling said, pursing his lips.

"Master, Master... please help me. I really can’t take it anymore." Luo Yue grabbed Ye Ling’s arm and began to shake it back and forth.

They were standing in front of an academic building, and there were quite a lot of people milling about.

Considering the scene this girl might cause if she threw a tantrum right here, and the bad impression it would create, Ye Ling could only sigh and shake his head in resignation.

"Alright, fine. Just tell me what’s going on."

Ye Ling glanced at the girl, already feeling a major headache coming on.

’A Little Witch is still a Little Witch. She only knows how to cause trouble for me!’

"It’s just... there’s this upperclassman who’s trying to pursue me..."

Hearing this, Luo Yue finally let go of his arm, satisfied, and began to explain.

As he listened to her, the corners of Ye Ling’s mouth lifted into a slight smirk.

So, it turned out some upperclassman had taken a liking to this little brat. Apparently, the guy was pretty well-known on campus, and his various attempts to woo her had become common knowledge throughout Modu University.

But Luo Yue had no interest in the guy whatsoever, so she told him she’d consider being his girlfriend if he could crack her Trojan horse program.

The thing is... the guy actually cracked it!

’What a young man, so persistent in the name of love...’

Ye Ling couldn’t help but marvel at the situation.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

Ye Ling asked, looking at Luo Yue.

"Help me design a new Trojan, one that he can’t crack."

Luo Yue said immediately.

"I see..."

Hearing this, Ye Ling suddenly drew out his words. "Designing a Trojan is a small matter, but... it takes a lot of brainpower, you know."

"Master..."

Luo Yue immediately pouted, a wronged expression on her face. Then, as if she suddenly had an idea, her eyes darted slyly. "Master, if you agree, I’ll tell you one of Ruoruo’s little secrets!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, his interest suddenly piqued.

’Does Ning Ruoxi have secrets I don’t know about?’

"Hehe, I guarantee this little secret won’t disappoint you. How about it?"

Luo Yue said, a sly grin spreading across her face.

"Deal."

Ye Ling agreed without hesitation.

In reality, he had just been teasing her. He would have helped her anyway, even if she hadn’t offered up the secret.

After all, she’d been calling him Master for so long. If she really lost to some upperclassman, wouldn’t that be a disgrace to him?

But now that there was an unexpected bonus, he certainly wasn’t going to turn it down.

"Master, you’re the best!"

Luo Yue immediately began to jump up and down like a happy child.

"Alright, shouldn’t you be getting to class?"

Ye Ling let out a resigned, wry laugh.

This girl was always so hyper, like a seven or eight-year-old kid.

"Okie dokie!"

Looking like a perfectly obedient child, Luo Yue nodded and walked into the classroom.

Ye Ling and Luo Yue were in the same classroom for this next class, which was on the C programming language.

For experts like Ye Ling and Luo Yue, this material was obviously useless, so neither of them was paying much attention.

BUZZ BUZZ!

Suddenly, Ye Ling’s phone vibrated on the desk. The screen lit up; Ning Ruoxi had sent him a message.

[Ning Ruoxi: Stinky, are you in class?]

[Ye Ling: Yep. Did you eat breakfast?]

[Ning Ruoxi: I did~~ The porridge was delicious ヾ(≧∇≦*)ゝ! Pay attention in class!]

[Ye Ling: You know my skills. It makes no difference whether I pay attention to this kind of class or not.]

[Ning Ruoxi: Hmph! You egomaniac. Just try to pay attention, anyway. I’m at home making lunch for you! *seduction.jpg*]

Looking at Ning Ruoxi’s message, Ye Ling couldn’t help but lick his lips.

’That girl, she’s at it again!’

’When class is over, I’ll go home and make sure this Little Demon truly feels the power of the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon~’

"Master, your smile is so... creepy,"

Luo Yue, who was resting her chin on her hand beside him, said suddenly as she watched him.

"Keep annoying me and I won’t write that code for you."

Ye Ling shot her a look.

The Little Witch immediately clamped her mouth shut, her face a mask of pitiful grievance.

"Alright, stop pretending. I promised you, so I’ll do it."

Ye Ling reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Okay!"

Luo Yue immediately broke into a goofy grin.

...

University schedules weren’t packed with a dozen periods a day like in high school—it was usually just one or two classes. But... a single class could often last for half a day.

By the time this class was over, it was already past eleven o’clock.

The moment class was dismissed, Ye Ling headed straight home.

After all, his wifey was waiting for him at home!

’I wonder what delicious food that little minx has prepared today?’

Ye Ling licked his lips as he drove.

His wifey’s cooking had been getting better and better lately. Besides, anything made by her was bound to be extra delicious!

He could hardly wait~
