Chapter 27: What Did They Say…

The group of men who carried beer and fried skewers walked toward the campus and began a heated discussion about Clovie on the way.

“Tell me, what exactly is going on with Old Chen?” Tan Haoxin felt the whole affair was extremely fishy.

They all knew how much Chen Yuan liked Yu Enqi.

They had simply thought today’s shock must have hit him hard and worried about his mental state.

Yet they discovered that an ultimate white-haired beauty had been hidden in his apartment!

“Who is that girl? Old Chen never mentioned her before. She can’t really be Old Chen’s little sister, can she?”

After seeing Clovie, Luo Zichuan suddenly calmed down.

That hardcore otaku had finally seen, in real life, someone who looked as though she had stepped straight out of an anime…

That figure, that white hair, those long legs…

“If she really is his sister, then sorry, guys—from now on Old Chen is my blood brother!”

“Then that’s incest, so get lost…” Li Hua said with disdain.

“I’m not sure; who could guess? Maybe she’s a child bride he brought home?” Liu Yuhang shook his head.

“Could be some arranged engagement. Old Chen’s family is pretty loaded,” Huang Zhisheng, who walked in front, offered the most likely explanation.

“Damn! That’s possible!” Tan Haoxin went off the rails at once and started raving, “A three-year promise?! Yu Enqi! You simply think you’re a favored daughter of heaven and I’m not worthy of you! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river!”

“Idiot!”

“I don’t know him, I don’t know him—move, move…”

“The password! Wait for me!”

“Honestly, she looks way too gorgeous.”

“I’d say she absolutely crushes the campus belle of our university,” Huang Zhisheng muttered in his deep voice.

“No need to guess, she does,” Li Hua agreed.

Li Hua seldom praised girls other than his own girlfriend, because when he cross-dressed there were few girls who could beat him, so his standards were very high.

“I admit, my cross-dressing can’t compete.”

“Cut it out; your short little legs aren’t even half as long as hers…” Luo Zichuan said, patting him on the backside.

“Get lost… damn you…” Li Hua raged helplessly, clenching his fist.

“Ay-hey~” Luo Zichuan showed no fear and pinched again.

So springy…

Li Hua then chased him, punching while grinding his teeth. “You’re a real pervert! Die, you Nantong freak!”

Huang Zhisheng sighed. “I feel that sooner or later Hua is going to get bent…”

“What beastly words are you spouting…” Liu Yuhang wiped his ears. Hua had a girlfriend—this would never do…

At that moment, a girl wearing a black veil that covered her face walked toward them.

As she came close, a tempting and unusual fragrance drifted over.

Although they could not see her face clearly, her figure was excellent. She wore a black dress and a delicate sunhat.

No need to see the face—she was a beauty!

I can tell by the scent alone whether she’s pretty!

“Do you… know Falz?” The girl stopped in front of Huang Zhisheng’s group and asked softly.

…

Clovie’s status had been noble, so she usually interacted with very few people. With so many male peers appearing at once, she did not feel comfortable.

To put it more plainly, only Chen Yuan was special to her.

Therefore, anyone else who tried to get along with her would find it exhausting.

When living in Nix, Chen Yuan had been her Teacher, and his role had been partly that of a caretaker; he had had to pay attention to every aspect of her situation, which naturally included shielding her from the harassment of young men.

After all, nobles often attended banquets, and obscure small families always tried to climb the social ladder. Even though Clovie’s position in the royal family was not high, she was at least royalty.

Countless young noblemen had tried to approach her, and most of them had had ulterior motives.

Chen Yuan had dealt with them on her behalf.

Therefore…

The roommates could only think: So that’s how you see us, huh?!

Ahem…

Anything that made Her Highness unhappy had to be driven away!

That was a duty he, as Teacher, had to fulfill!

When Clovie saw Chen Yuan drive the guys away, she knew he did it because of her and felt a little pleased.

But since she had come to this world, she would not stay aloof forever; she would try to blend into this world slowly.

That, of course, included Chen Yuan’s friends.

And the bottles of beer that remained…

“You want to drink?” Chen Yuan asked when he saw her pouring beer.

“Can’t I?” Clovie looked puzzled.

“You can. Drink up.”

She could handle liquor far stronger than this; a little beer could hardly get her drunk.

“Then, Teacher, cheers.” She smiled and raised the paper cup.

Even though it looked a bit low-class without a stemmed glass, she felt it was more fun to drink this way.

“Cheers~” Chen Yuan raised his own paper cup without hesitation.

The two of them ate dishes and finished several bottles.

Duang—

Very soon, while Chen Yuan’s face only turned slightly red, the Queen in front of him collapsed onto the table and stopped moving.

Eh?!

What was going on?!

He called Clovie twice; she now lay there, cheeks flushed, mumbling.

“Teacher…”

“How can you be drunk?!” Chen Yuan complained in his heart.

Back in Nix Kingdom, at every banquet you had held a stemmed glass and sipped red wine, hadn’t you?

A bit of beer and you are down?!

So all those times you were holding a glass of juice, huh?!

You tricked me and all those ministers for so long?!

Look at you—still a Queen—so useless!

This world really was one giant amateur troupe…

Chen Yuan had no choice but to help her up and carry her slowly toward the bedroom.

She kept murmuring his name the whole way, but he could not make out the words after the drinking.

Chen Yuan felt uneasy and answered her gently, “I’m here, I’m here, Teacher is here…”

He then took her into the room and laid her softly on the bed.

Because of her upbringing, even when her true feelings surfaced after drinking she did not throw a tantrum.

She merely murmured and did not thrash about.

She certainly did not rub herself all over Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan switched on the bedroom air-conditioner and pulled the quilt over her stomach.

Emm… that habit seemed to have come back to him in this world as well…

He then turned to leave.

“Teacher… ¥#￥%#…” Eh?!

“Teacher…”

Chen Yuan froze, unable to move his feet.

He turned back and looked at the girl who slept sweetly, cheeks crimson, still murmuring his name.

Tiny ripples rose in his heart.
