Yu Yuanyuan couldn’t quite understand Wen Zifei’s words, so she turned to Chu Qi. “Qi Qi, what’s a servant?”

Chu Qi’s mouth twitched.

The game’s over, and you still don’t know what a servant is?

“It means he has to help you with anything, especially the stuff you don’t want to do,” Chu Qi explained in the simplest way possible. “And he can’t say no—he has to listen to you and do what you ask.”

“Wow, wow, wow!” Yu Yuanyuan clapped her hands happily. “Yuanyuan has a servant now!”

Seeing her so excited, Wen Zifei realized his attempt to play the pity card had completely backfired. Dropping his pitiful expression, he put on a cold face instead.

“From now on, all the food Yuanyuan doesn’t like will be your responsibility!” Yuanyuan tapped his shoulder with her tiny paw and giggled. “Hehe.”

Gu Beiyan and Chu Qi exchanged doubtful glances.

Does she even dislike any food?

With the game over, it was time for the last lesson of the day before going home.

Yu Yuanyuan, still expecting it to be some fun activity, sat down eagerly. But as she looked up, her gaze fell on the blackboard, which was covered with rows of numbers.

Her innocent little eyes immediately went blank.

What’s going on? Why are there so many numbers?

“Today, we’ll practice some simple addition and subtraction…” Teacher Su began the final lesson gently.

Yuanyuan, who felt like she was drowning in a sea of numbers, sat there like a stunned kitten. Her mind was jumbled—at first, she could follow along, but soon the numbers became too much, turning into random symbols she couldn’t understand.

Addition? Subtraction? She had no idea anymore. Whatever… let it be.

After what felt like an eternity of trying to follow along, Yu Yuanyuan noticed the room had gone completely silent, as if something strange had happened.

She cautiously looked to her left: Chu Qi was staring at the board with intense focus.

She looked to her right: Gu Beiyan was fidgeting nervously.

She peeked at the front row: Wen Zifei was trying to shrink himself down, clearly wanting to avoid being noticed by some invisible force.

Looking around, she saw her classmates all with their heads down, completely still, as if they were meditating.

“Yu Yuanyuan,” Teacher Su suddenly called her name.

Confused, Yu Yuanyuan looked up. Teacher Su pointed to the numbers on the blackboard and smiled. “Come on up.”

Not knowing what was happening, Yuanyuan obediently walked up to the board. Teacher Su pointed at an equation and asked kindly, “What’s 10 plus 3?”

What?? Do I have to solve this right now?

Yuanyuan froze like a statue on the spot, unable to move.

Seeing her standing completely still, Teacher Su even began to wonder if Yuanyuan had stopped breathing.

Don’t panic, don’t panic, Yuanyuan reassured herself. You’ve learned this at home, you can do it here too!

After calming herself, she looked up at the numbers on the board… Wait, why are there two digits?

She only knew how to add single digits! Oh no!

Teacher Su could see Yuanyuan was struggling, so she encouraged her gently. “Remember, we went over the method earlier. Try to use what I taught you and give it a shot.”

Yuanyuan’s big eyes were filled with confusion as she looked around, hoping to find some clues from her classmates.

Chu Qi, ever the calm one, subtly held up two fingers under her desk—one for 1 and one for 3.

Not far away, Gu Beiyan raised one hand, carefully holding one finger apart from the other three.

From the front row, Wen Zifei, sensing Yuanyuan’s panic, cleared his throat loudly to get her attention. When she looked his way, he mischievously made a circle with his thumb and index finger, forming the number three.

Hehe, I’ll throw her off with the wrong answer!

After processing for a moment, Yuanyuan raised her hand and pointed at Wen Zifei. “Teacher Su, I don’t know the answer, but Wen Zifei said he knows! He can help Yuanyuan answer.”

Wen Zifei: !!!

Wait, no! Don’t drag me into this!

His plan to trick Yu Yuanyuan had backfired, and now he had dug himself into a hole.
