Gu Beiyan stood there, dumbfounded.

Chu Qi was speechless.

Wen Zifei was utterly confused.

He had planned to throw a bug onto Yu Yuanyuan’s bed, yet she turned around and thanked him?

Thank you for what?

Wen Zifei was in disbelief. What on earth is there to be thankful for?

There had to be a conspiracy here—definitely a scheme. He couldn’t afford to lose his composure now.

Glancing at the fruit Yu Yuanyuan had shared with him, Wen Zifei snorted coldly and pushed it aside, focusing only on his own portion without even sparing hers a glance.

What kind of trick is this? Trying to make me surrender with a piece of fruit?

No way! This grudge isn’t something that can be resolved so easily!

As he thought this, his finger, where the bug had pinched him earlier, started to throb with pain again.

Meanwhile, Yu Yuanyuan, her mouth full of food, continued talking to him. “Your finger looks so cute! What kind of little animal is that?”

Wen Zifei: Ignore her, ignore her, ignore her.

Hmph, calling my finger cute—she’s definitely mocking me!

“Is it a bear?” Yu Yuanyuan asked from her seat next to him. Her mouth never seemed to stop moving—if she wasn’t eating, she was talking. There was never a moment of stillness.

Wen Zifei felt like his head was about to explode. Clenching his teeth, he forced out two words: “Panda! It’s a panda!”

How could anyone be so strange? Wen Zifei thought. She doesn’t even know what a panda is—she must be an alien from another planet.

“So cute! Where can I get one?” Yu Yuanyuan asked enthusiastically. Having finished her fruit, she was now fully focused on Wen Zifei. “Yuanyuan also wants that cute bandage for my paw-paw!”

Wen Zifei: !!!

What’s with this pure and innocent tone? Is she really that naive?

No, no, something feels off.

Suddenly, Wen Zifei calmed down and, with a serious expression, asked, “This is a bandage. You want one too?”

“Yes, yes!” Yu Yuanyuan nodded earnestly. “Where did you get it?”

Wen Zifei, filled with mischief, smirked evilly. “Let a bug bite you, and you can get one too.”

“Huh?” Yu Yuanyuan’s worldview was shaken. “But won’t that hurt?”

“Not at all,” Wen Zifei replied with a mysterious tone, as if luring her into a trap.

He seemed like a devil with horns, slowly coaxing the innocent little cub into his scheme.

“Where can I find a bug?” Yu Yuanyuan asked, her desire for a panda bandage growing.

With a wicked grin, Wen Zifei took her outside, and they crouched in the grass for a long time, eventually finding the black bug the teacher had thrown away earlier.

“Here, put your finger in its claw,” Wen Zifei instructed, holding up the bug. “Let it pinch you, and then you’ll have one!”

Yu Yuanyuan, without a second thought, crouched down and waited quietly.

She waited and waited until her back started aching, but nothing happened.

The bug just sat there, its claws open, not moving at all. It didn’t pinch her paw.

Wen Zifei, seeing how close he was to success, grew frustrated and shook the bug. “Come on, pinch!”

The black claw touched Yu Yuanyuan’s skin, but the bug, as if it were dead, remained completely still.

“What’s wrong with it?” Yu Yuanyuan asked, concerned, waving her finger gently in the air. “Is it dead?”

Her voice carried a hint of sorrow, as if she genuinely pitied the bug.

After waiting so long and failing to execute his plan, Wen Zifei became desperate. He reached out his own finger to test it. “It’s not dead! It was just moving—AHHHH!!!”

Once again, the kindergarten echoed with Wen Zifei’s high-pitched scream of agony.
