Whoosh! Xiao Wu Jie didn't know what martial virtue was; she attacked by surprise, pressing her small hands on the ground to gain leverage and leap high, sweeping a scissor kick directly towards his head.
Wham! Tang San was no pushover either.
With both feet defended, Xiao Wu didn't stop her attack. She exerted force from her waist and head, swinging her long scorpion braid towards his face.
'So fast!' Tang San exclaimed in his heart, releasing his hands and retreating using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track again.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Although Xiao Wu's experience was limited, her hair was very long.
"Hiss~" Tang San gasped in pain, sucking in a cold breath.
The scorpion braid whipped across his face, leaving a red mark and nearly knocking his face askew.
Strike him while he's down! Her small foot kicked directly upwards into his chin, biu~
He flew high, then landed with a thud on the ground.
Just as he was about to get up, Xiao Wu stepped forward and stomped on his chest!
"How about that? I won!" Xiao Wu looked down at Tang San, her expression full of triumph.
"I lost." Although he didn't go all out, Tang San didn't play dirty. He didn't really care for the position of boss anyway.
What's more, this girl in front of him was so adorable, and he felt an unusual sense of closeness to her.
"That's great!" Xiao Wu jumped up happily, acting like a little adult, "Listen up, from now on I'm your boss! I'm Xiao Wu, the Wu from dancing, and from now on you all have to call me Xiao Wu Jie!"
Seeing that Ye Qiu wasn't even looking at her, she got angry and added, "And Xiao Qiu, you too!"
Ye Qiu, who had already simply spread out his quilt, heard Xiao Wu's address to him and nodded helplessly. It was just a name, and considering her age, it was indeed correct!
However, she could call him Xiao Qiu, but he would not call her Jie. If asked why, it could only be attributed to a man's damned self-esteem.
"Hehe, come on, come on, let me hear you call me!" Seeing Ye Qiu nod, Xiao Wu's crescent-shaped eyes became smug with delight.
"Hello, Xiao Wu Jie!" Wang Sheng and the others shouted in unison. Ye Qiu didn't shout, and neither did Tang San.
Tang San, who had already gotten up, looked at Xiao Wu, who was being praised by everyone, feeling a little pleased. He touched the red mark on his face and smiled faintly.
Then he noticed Ye Qiu, who was sitting on the bed on the other side. Tang San felt that Ye Qiu was a little different from the others.
He was ordinary yet strange, with short black hair and blue attire. His appearance was unremarkable, but his eyes were covered.
Ye Qiu's mental force was extraordinary, and he was aware of Tang San's undisguised scrutiny. He politely smiled at him and nodded in greeting.
Tang San also returned a smile.
'The time just now was a bit short, I didn't even learn the basics,' Ye Qiu thought with some regret, but there would be plenty of time in the future.

"Little San, come out with me." The door to Dormitory Seven suddenly opened, and a haggard-looking, weathered middle-aged man appeared at the doorway.
"Grandmaster!" A surprised cry came from the small Dormitory Seven.
"Teacher!" Tang San didn't dare to refuse, and scurried forward, following him out of the dormitory.
"Who is he? He looks like someone owes him money!" Xiao Wu patted Wang Sheng next to her.
"Shh! Xiao Wu Jie, he's a teacher at the school. Tang San seems to have become his disciple," Wang Sheng truthfully informed her.
"Yu Xiaogang," Ye Qiu murmured to himself, looking at the closed door of Dormitory Seven. Thinking of his theories, he shook his head and chuckled softly, "He has some things, but… not much!"
"Xiao Qiu, what are you muttering about by yourself?" Smelling the fragrance wafting to his nose, Ye Qiu knew who it was without looking.
"Nothing. You should go pick a bed and make it."
"Oh!" Xiao Wu responded, her eyes darting around, scanning his surroundings.
She finally chose the bed next to Ye Qiu's.
"Whose stuff is on this? Hurry up and take it away, from now on… this bed is Xiao Wu Jie's!"
Hearing the boss lady speak, Wang Sheng also chimed in, shouting, "Whose is it? Hurry up and move it!"
"Yes! Xiao Wu Jie!"
Her subordinates worked diligently, quickly tidying up and even thoughtfully moving Xiao Wu's belongings over.
But looking at her own things, Xiao Wu's face showed difficulty. After thinking for a moment, she sat down on Ye Qiu's bed, staring intently at him.
Ye Qiu indicated that his fists were already clenching tightly.
"Xiao Qiu~ Please help me, Xiao Wu Jie will definitely protect you well in the future!"
"You let them help you!" Ye Qiu pointed at Wang Sheng and the others, who all puffed out their chests, ready for inspection, practically screaming 'Please protect us!' from their eyes.
"I don't want them to touch my quilt! If you don't help me, I'll just sleep in your bed!"
After saying that, she flopped onto Ye Qiu's quilt, her two small legs swinging idly.
"…" Ye Qiu stared at her blankly, speechless for a long time.
Because his eyes were covered, Xiao Wu couldn't tell what expression he had. Seeing him facing her for so long, she thought he was angry.
"Ye Qiu…" She carefully got up, about to reach out to touch Ye Qiu's arm.
"Eh~" Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu sighed lightly, dodging her movement, and honestly went to help her make the bed.
Ever since he came to Notting College, Ye Qiu had intentionally or unintentionally kept his distance from Xiao Wu. He didn't want to be remembered by Tang Hao, nor did he want anything unexpected to happen to Xiao Wu.
Ye Qiu felt that the reason Tang Hao didn't keep Xiao Wu confined was because of Tang San, and if Ah Yin got too close to him, then it would be hard to say!
"Come help."
"Hey, coming!"
Ye Qiu's voice woke up the still-confused student Xiao Wu. With a smile on her face, she obediently helped out.
After making the bed, Xiao Wu took out a small bag from her pack. Ye Qiu knew that bag, it was given by Zhang Laotou.
Like presenting a treasure, she held it with both hands: "Xiao Qiu, keep this money with you!"
Ye Qiu didn't refuse. He indeed needed money. In a few days, he would have to find some carpentry work.
...Time slowly passed.
When Tang San returned again, he was already wearing the spirit tool 'Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges' at his waist, and he also took out a large quilt from inside.
This drew continuous exclamations from everyone, and Ye Qiu was also slightly shocked by this miraculous scene, though its appearance didn't show it.
"Wang Sheng, Xiao Wu Jie is hungry, let's go eat!"
"Alright, who else wants to come?"
"You should take Xiao Wu Jie to get familiar with the place. We still have some dry rations."
Except for Ye Qiu and Tang San, everyone else declined.
"Alright then, Xiao Wu Jie, you two follow me!"
Dormitory Seven was exclusively for work-study students, and its location wasn't very good, being some distance from both the classrooms and the cafeteria.
They walked for a full quarter of an hour, listening to Wang Sheng's introduction while on their way.
As soon as they entered the cafeteria, Xiao Wu exclaimed, "It's so big in here!"
Tang San nodded, agreeing with Xiao Wu's words.
"Of course, it can accommodate all the teachers and students in the school!" Wang Sheng explained from the side.
'It's not that big, it just looks a bit novel.' Ye Qiu felt that this cafeteria, which could accommodate four to five hundred people, was just so-so.
