"You're here so early today. Is something the matter, Xiao Yan?"

Dong Chengling was slightly surprised to see Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu arrive in the afternoon. She knew Gu Yueyan's disposition; Gu Yueyan rarely visited her without a significant reason. It wasn't that their relationship was bad, but rather that Gu Yueyan didn't want to disturb Dong Chengling's cultivation.

Gu Yueyan entered with a solemn expression and sat down, while Lin Xianyu merely covered her mouth, stifling a laugh as she stood to the side. Dong Chengling opened the fridge, handed them two bottles of chilled coconut juice, and asked, "Is there a problem with your cultivation?"

Gu Yueyan shook her head.

"Is it trouble with your roommates?" Dong Chengling guessed. She knew friction often occurred when several girls shared a dormitory. Dong Chengling still remembered her college days when four people in one dorm could lead to four different chat groups.

Gu Yueyan shook her head again.

"Is it... romance?" A smile touched Dong Chengling's lips. "Heavenly Lotus Academy doesn't seem to ban dating, does it? I wonder which boy has won your favor?"

Gu Yueyan stopped beating around the bush. "I discovered that guy Ren Suo has committed a crime!"

"Ren Suo, that guy... You two seem to have a good relationship," Dong Chengling said with a laugh.

"Not good at all!" Gu Yueyan huffed. "The point is, he's committed a crime, Teacher! Block him immediately! Don't let him set foot in this house again!"

"Alright, alright," Dong Chengling said, smiling and holding her cup. "What crime did he commit? First Aid failure? A medical accident? Or did he dine and dash at the cafeteria?"

Gu Yueyan looked at Dong Chengling seriously. "He called for an in-call service, the kind... for venting one's carnal desires. The person even came to the school; Xiaoyu and I both saw it. Ren Suo couldn't control himself. He embraced the other person intimately right at the doorstep, and the other person even deftly nuzzled his face against Ren Suo's. Then Ren Suo brought him home."

Dong Chengling's water cup trembled slightly, and she blinked at Gu Yueyan.

"And the person from the in-call service... was a man."

BANG!

Looking at the shattered water cup, Dong Chengling quickly began to clean up the fragments, explaining, "This cup is such poor quality; it shattered just from a little hot water..."

Lin Xianyu glanced at the water cup. Explosions from poor quality should blast outward, she thought. This cup clearly fractured inward, right where her fingers were gripping it!

However, Gu Yueyan paid no mind to these details. "So, Teacher, what do you plan to do? Call the police?"

Dong Chengling pondered for a moment, then said, "We need evidence before we call the police. We can't wrongly accuse an innocent person."

"So, we're going over there?" Gu Yueyan asked.

"Yes, we're going over." Dong Chengling nodded, offering a reason. "To prevent a friend from sinking deeper into crime, we must stop him."

"Exactly! To prevent him from committing a crime. It would be trouble if word of this got out and people found out our school has a pervert!" Gu Yueyan nodded emphatically, having found her own justification.

Deciding on the spot, Dong Chengling and Gu Yueyan immediately headed to Ren Suo's dormitory building, with Lin Xianyu tagging along for the excitement.

They first rang the doorbell, but there was no response.

Lin Xianyu said, "If he doesn't open the door, there's nothing we can do."

Gu Yueyan took out her phone. "Let's call him."

BEEP BEEP BEEP— "The number you have dialed is not answering. Please try again later."

Lin Xianyu's face turned red, and she giggled. "Could it be they're busy with... other things, and don't have time to answer the phone?"

The expressions of both Gu Yueyan and Dong Chengling changed. After thinking for three seconds, Dong Chengling said, "Let me open the door."

"Huh? Teacher, you have his key?" Gu Yueyan was slightly taken aback.

"No. But you don't need a key... to open a door."

Dong Chengling extended her slender, jade-like forefinger, inserted it into the keyhole of the security door, and gave it a twist.

"There," Dong Chengling said calmly. "We'll have to pay for a new lock later."

Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu swallowed hard. Lin Xianyu patted Gu Yueyan on the shoulder, her expression clearly saying, 'You have a long and arduous road ahead of you.' Gu Yueyan didn't quite understand but nodded. "Teacher Dong is amazing, isn't she?"

"The more amazing she is, the more dangerous it is for you..." Lin Xianyu murmured.

The inner door wasn't locked. Dong Chengling and the others took a deep breath and quickly pushed it open.

Loud music poured out from the living room. In their view, Ren Suo and the young man were lounging on the sofa, controllers in hand, engrossed in a hack-and-slash game on the TV screen.

"Huh? What brings you here?" Ren Suo turned his head to look at them. "I've only got two controllers."

「 」

"Is this... your sister?"

Sitting on the other side of the sofa, Dong Chengling and the others curiously regarded the 'handsome' young man beside Ren Suo, their voices tinged with disbelief.

"Hehe." The young man removed his hat, untied the hair tie, and fashioned a small ponytail, instantly transforming into a cute girl.

She hugged Ren Suo's shoulder and continued playing the game, laughing. "It's been so hot lately, so I cut my hair short. I didn't expect to actually be mistaken for a boy."

"Hello, I'm Ren Suo's sister, Ren Xingmei. Please call me Little Star. Xing Mei is fine too. Just don't use my full name," Ren Xingmei said with a smile. "Otherwise, it sounds like you're cursing me."

"Ren Xingmei… 'Wilful Little Sister'… PFFT." Lin Xianyu laughed. "Your name is as quirky as mine! I'm Salted Fish, and you're wilful!"

"I never thought my older brother actually knew high school girls. You know, he never brought any high school girls home when he was in high school," Ren Xingmei remarked. "I thought the girls here would definitely find my brother off-putting!"

"That's true!" Gu Yueyan declared.

"Not at all!" Lin Xianyu countered.

Ren Suo suddenly cried out, "Aargh, aargh, come save me! I'm going to die!"

Ren Xingmei responded, "Coming, coming! You're terrible at this!"

Dong Chengling, however, asked curiously, "But... Little Star, why are you wearing men's clothing?"

"Hmm?" Ren Xingmei, her eyes fixed on the TV, replied, "Oh, I'm used to it."

"Well, we were poor when we were young. My older brother's build was similar to mine, so I often wore his clothes. As I grew up, I found that men's clothes were more comfortable, and they also made me look pretty cool," Ren Xingmei said with a smile. "When I go out with my classmates, I can even pretend to be their boyfriend!"

Realization dawned on Dong Chengling and the others. At that moment, Ren Suo laughed and patted Ren Xingmei on the chest. "It's really because she's flat-chested."

Dong Chengling: "..."

Gu Yueyan: "..."

Lin Xianyu: "..."

They clearly saw a flicker of killing intent flash across Ren Xingmei's face as she continued to play the game.

"You shun the path to Heaven, yet barge into Hell where no door was open to you!"

The character in the game suddenly unleashed a powerful technique—Exploding Golden Body, Exploding Microcosm, even exploding underwear—and forcefully defeated the boss!

"Whoa, you didn't have to go that hard on this little boss, did you, sis?" Ren Suo exclaimed. "We still have the Quilt King and a whole legion of valiant fighters to deal with later."

Gu Yueyan, remembering something, asked, "Just now, didn't I see you giving your sister money at the door, Ren Suo?"

"Giving money? Oh, my little sister said she was coming over to play games and to check out Heavenly Lotus Academy. She spent a lot of money on the way, so I reimbursed her immediately," Ren Suo said cheerily, then suddenly tensed up. "Aargh, aargh, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!"

"I'm going to the bathroom first," Ren Xingmei said, pressing pause. She put down the controller, smiled at Dong Chengling and the others, and walked into the bathroom.

Gu Yueyan and Dong Chengling exchanged glances, both sighing in relief. Thank goodness, it's his sister, was the shared thought.

"But wait, even if they are siblings..." Gu Yueyan suddenly recalled the hug between Ren Suo and Ren Xingmei at the school gate, then thought of her own cool interactions with her brother. "Isn't their level of intimacy a bit beyond normal!?"

「 」

Tsk, I didn't expect this moronic older brother of mine would actually have other girls interested in him...

After washing her face in the bathroom, Ren Xingmei looked at her cute reflection in the mirror with a cold expression and began to tidy her appearance.

She wasn't clueless like Ren Suo. Seeing these girls practically break down the door with their bare hands to get in, she knew at least one of them was very interested in him.

Mom said my older brother has a high salary now. He also gets special living expenses at the academy and usually doesn't need to spend much. He hasn't even unwrapped his gaming console, so he must be very busy with no time for leisure. He definitely has a lot of savings.

When he used to get excited playing games, I could get his living expenses just by saying a few words. Now that I've finally made it here, I can't miss this chance to fleece this cash cow.

But if he gets a girlfriend, he'll surely want to save money for dates, hotel rooms, or even buying a house and car. By then, he might not be willing to give me money...

Wealth should stay within the family. Instead of him spending it on some woman, it's better he gives it to me for my first nest egg. When I make my fortune, how could I possibly mistreat this moronic older brother of mine, whose IQ and EQ are both abysmally low?

I'm a girl who's been playing games with him for so many years. Is it too much to ask for a little money now?

Ren Xingmei straightened her collar. By the time she walked out, her objective for this visit was set:

I can't let my moronic older brother escape singledom!

For money, I, Little Star, will show everyone how I can keep even a brother like Ren Suo under my thumb!
