You said you hated men, why are your eyes now full of love?

As everyone knows, in today's society of skyrocketing prices, many young people find it difficult to live stable lives in expensive big cities on their meager salaries.

Not to mention, most ordinary people spend their entire lives scrimping and saving just to be able to buy a house of their own.

But at this moment, the noblewoman easily owned three houses.

The left atrium, the right atrium.

And her shattered defenses.

"Old lady?!!!"

The sudden increase in volume clearly indicated the noblewoman's anger.

"How dare you say that again!"

The system on his shoulder was almost hurt by the roar, forcing him to cover his ears.@@novelbin@@

[Damn, no wonder they're mother and daughter. Their voices are loud enough to be human sonar.]

It was so loud that it was almost deafening!

Ji Mu, who bore the brunt of the outburst, took several steps back, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Say it! Why aren't you continuing?"

The boy's retreat was mistaken by the noblewoman as a sign of submission.

Her face contorted with anger as she began to press aggressively.

"Weren't you quite arrogant just now?!"

Admittedly, her overbearing stance even startled Ji Mu a bit.

"Sorry, sorry."

He apologized sincerely.

"Could you please not shout at me? I've been afraid of dogs since I was a child."

As he spoke, he continued with a look of lingering fear.

"Especially old dogs."

"You! What! Did! You! Say!!"

The noblewoman's eyes spit fire, turning red with anger in an instant.

As a wealthy lady, she was used to being flattered everywhere she went.

Now, to be openly insulted by a mere commoner was an outright provocation.

"Ji Mu, do you think I can make it impossible for you to stay in Tianhua City?"

Sensing that the noblewoman was truly angry, the dean quickly stepped forward to calm her down.

"Ms. Chu, the young man is just being reckless and immature. Please don't take it to heart."

Although he was also angry with Ji Mu, he knew the importance of the upcoming six-school joint examination. Ji Mu was the face of Yulan High School, and nothing could happen to him at this critical time.

He clearly understood the priorities.

"Please calm down, Ms. Chu. You're an adult, there's no need to get angry with a child."

He tried to calm her down while frantically signaling to Ji Mu.

"Ji Mu, how could you be so rude to an elder? Apologize to Mrs. Chu right now."

Apologize? Apologize to my foot!

Ji Mu didn't even acknowledge the two elders.

Feeling that he had attracted enough attention, Ji Mu temporarily stopped arguing and turned to the task at hand.

He carefully examined the girl from head to toe.

No injuries.

Emotionally stable.

No tears.

Good, it seemed like he had arrived just in time.

"Classmate Ji Mu..."

Meeting his gaze, Ruan Qingqing clasped her hands tightly, her eyes filled with deep concern.

She hadn't expected him to follow her here.

She didn't want to burden others and was ready to face everything alone.

But why did the boy still decide to...

Noticing her uneasiness, Ji Mu stepped in front of her.

"Don't be afraid."

He shielded her behind him and reassured her softly.

"I'm here."

His soft words whispered in her ears, spreading warmth throughout her body.

The undeniable tingling sensation extended downward, leaving traces wherever it went.

Ruan Qingqing lifted her delicate face, a glimmer of light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

The boy's tall, slender figure stood in the light, casting a silent shadow that enveloped her from behind.

It was that familiar scene again.

No matter when, he always appeared in her most helpless moments.

Why do most movies prefer the trope of the hero rescuing the damsel in distress?

Perhaps it's because this pure act of salvation most easily stirs the primal emotions of the heart.

...

"Get angry? Hah, what right does he have to make me angry?"

On the other side, the noblewoman's scornful voice rang out.

"Such a sharp tongue for someone so young. What a waste of good grades."

Thanks to the Dean's persistent efforts, her anger had subsided considerably.

Although she was still upset, she realized one thing.

After all, she was a noble.

If she acted like a shrew, yelling and screaming, wouldn't that make her no different from those vulgar commoners?

She should maintain her image.

"Mr. Zhang, manage your disciples properly. If nothing else, they should at least know to respect their elders and honor the sages."

She crossed her arms over her chest and made her suggestion arrogantly.

"People with bad character, no matter how good their grades are, will only bring negative influence to the school, understand?"

It was clear that she was indirectly criticizing.

"Yes, yes, you're right. I will definitely handle her well," the dean replied humbly, although he was in an internal turmoil.

Lady, please stop talking!

You've already experienced how angry he can be, so why provoke him further? Don't you know if you can win this argument?

"Strange."

As expected, just as the Dean was silently complaining, he heard the boy's puzzled voice.

"Why do I hear an old dog barking?"

The noblewoman's eye twitched and the veins on her forehead bulged.

"Mr. Zhang, it seems your students need to improve their hearing as well as their manners."

She forced a smile, barely maintaining her haughty, noble demeanor.

"Don't develop auditory hallucinations at such a young age, or you won't even be able to afford medical bills."

Ji Mu showed no reaction, appearing pensive instead. "So old dogs can bark like that."

The noblewoman's breathing became faster and faster.

"Old Zhang! Are your Yulan High School students like this?"

She gritted her teeth, her face gradually turning red again.

"Such an ill-mannered child is destined to become a scoundrel in society!"

The Dean of Students was in agony.

Damn it, you can't win an argument yourself, so you drag me into it.

This kid does whatever he wants, and he's ruthless enough to hit me. How should I deal with him?

He cursed inwardly but couldn't show it.

Just as he was struggling to find something to say to ease the awkward situation, the boy's angry voice rang out again.

"If no one gives you a way out, why not grab a chair yourself?"

This remark felt like a stab to the noblewoman's lungs, which immediately redirected her anger.

"When the elders are speaking, do you think it's your place to interrupt?"

Her chest heaved violently as she felt the anger within her becoming harder and harder to suppress.

"You look decent, but you have no manners at all. I really don't understand why Yulan High School would let a vulgar person like you study there!"

"Thank you, you look quite decent yourself," Ji Mu complimented her sincerely. "With your appearance alone, you could be the star of a horror movie without any makeup."

The chain of rationality in the noblewoman's mind snapped with a bang.

"Are you looking for death? Are you crazy?"

Her eyes almost spit fire and blood rushed to her head.

It perfectly illustrated what it meant to be triggered a second time.

Seeing the situation getting out of hand, the dean hurriedly stopped the noblewoman.

"Madam Chu, please don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"

Damn it, if it really comes to a fight, even ten of you won't be able to stand up to him.

Please don't court death. I'm really too exhausted to deal with this right now.

The dean was completely exhausted.

In the past, this was a perfectly fine noble academy where he could do as he pleased. But ever since Ji Mu had moved in, his days had become more and more difficult.

Why did they even let that troublemaker in? Damn it!

Behind her, Chu Yashi wore a similarly confused and helpless expression.

Weren't we talking about the slap?

Why did Mom suddenly start arguing with Four-Eyes?

What exactly happened here?

"Why are you stopping me? I have to teach that arrogant boy a lesson!"

The noblewoman's crow's feet were visible from her anger.

She was someone who took care of her appearance.

To maintain her skin, she spent tens of thousands of dollars in beauty salons every year.

Their age and appearance were their most sensitive points.

But now, not only had they been touched, but they had been trampled upon ruthlessly.

How could she remain calm?

Rationality was thrown out the window in an instant.

All she could think about was tearing that boy's mouth apart!

"Damned commoner! Throw him out immediately. I don't want to see him at school tomorrow. Old Zhang, do you hear me?"

Seriously? Do you even realize what outrageous things you're saying?

The dean suppressed his urge to retort, "Madam Chu, this is clearly against..."

"Let's see who dares!"

Suddenly, a powerful voice echoed from outside the door.

At the same time, the homeroom teacher standing in the corner sighed in relief, quietly exiting the text message screen on her phone and returning to the home screen.

Finally, he's here.

Seeing the familiar figure, the Dean looked surprised.

"Principal?!"
