After taking off his dirty clothes and stuffing them into the washing machine, Qin Yu, wearing only a pair of shorts, headed towards the bathroom.
The reason Qin Yu lived downstairs wasn't because Yuna was abusing him. It was mainly because when they first adopted him, Qin Yu, being a "devil," was extremely disobedient, smashing anything he could grab.
Yuna, in desperation, had no choice but to leave him in this storage room, since there wasn't anything there to smash.
Yuri's tendency to hit Qin Yu at the drop of a hat was also cultivated during that time.
After all, "spare the rod and spoil the child."
He wouldn't listen to reason, so she had to resort to force.
Arriving at the bathroom, Qin Yu casually opened the door.
The next second, Yuri, who was humming a little tune while showering, froze, her eyes wide.
The two stared at each other silently for three seconds, then Qin Yu slammed the door shut.
Almost simultaneously, a shampoo bottle flew over and slammed heavily against the doorframe.
"Qin Yu! You're asking for it! ￢口￢ノ"
"Sorry! Actually, I didn't see anything except your back!"
"Damn it! I was facing you directly!"
"Cough! Same! Same!"
"Same my ass! I'm going to kill you!!!"
A scream rang out, startling Qin Yu, who hurriedly fled back to his room, unsurprisingly bumping into the doorframe as he entered.
He slammed the door shut, and moments later, the entire door began to shake violently. Clearly, Yuri, who had caught up, had started kicking the door.
Qin Yu stared at the shaking door, his embarrassed expression suddenly freezing, then gradually fading until it turned into astonishment.
Wait, why didn't he hear the system notification sound?
Where was the anger? Where was the hatred? None of it?
This girl…something's not right!
Staring at the still-shaking door, Qin Yu suddenly leaned forward and patted the door panel.
"I said, Yuri."
"Call me 'Sister'!"
"Oh, Sister Yuri, I said…do you like me?"
The moment these words were spoken, the violently shaking door suddenly fell silent.
There was a full five seconds of silence outside, then! A slender, white arm wreathed in powerful energy burst through the door! It grabbed Qin Yu's…belt.
Cough! Given Yuri's height, when she reached straight up, she could only grab Qin Yu's belt.
"Qin Yu! Do you want to die?!"
Ding! Enraged, energy increased by 5.
Hearing the notification sound in his ear, Qin Yu raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh.
"Phew~~ It's alright, it's alright! Why are you so slow? Is the internet really that laggy? You scared the hell out of me!"
"Qin Yu! Get out here!"
"No, no, I've had too many worries today, I'd better get some rest."
"Qin Yu! You!"
"Here you go! Take your belt, goodbye."
With a snap, Qin Yu unbuckled his belt, then suddenly jumped back.
The belt was pulled away, and Yuri dragged him out of the room. Yuri, seeing this, snorted coldly and stormed off.
"Don't leave this room before tomorrow morning! If you dare come out, I'll break your legs!"
"Hey? What if I need to go to the bathroom?!"
"Hold it in!"
"...Crazy girl."
Shaking his head, Qin Yu suddenly lay down on his bed.
Thank goodness, thank goodness this little girl was just slow to react.
If she really had any improper thoughts about his body, things would be troublesome.
If Yuna found out that the son of her enemy, whom she had always wanted to eliminate, had actually stolen her daughter's heart, then even if it were the King of Heaven himself, Yuna would definitely castrate Qin Yu to prevent future trouble.
What Qin Yu didn't know was that Yuri, who had turned her back to the bathroom door, suddenly squatted down with her hands on her head after entering, her face as red as Guan Yu's.
"Damn bastard! Bastard!"
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. After breakfast, Qin Yu and Yuri went to school again.
This time, the two didn't run at full speed, but one had extraordinary stamina, and the other was simply a centaur skilled in running.
They covered nearly ten miles in less than 15 minutes.
Sweating profusely, Qin Yu looked up at the school gate and couldn't help but curse.
"I know horses are good runners, but does that mean they have to live that far just to run? And are you wearing horseshoes?"
"Should I kick you in the face so you can experience it for yourself!"
Yuri, also sweating from running, was looking at Qin Yu with a strange expression.
Yesterday she found it odd—how come this punching bag was faster than her?
After secretly observing him today, Yuri was shocked to discover that this punching bag seemed to be even more physically capable than her.
What's going on? Has his bloodline awakened? Has his power exploded? Or has he been switched?
Speaking of which, he's been acting seriously abnormally these past two days, provoking and biting everyone he sees, like he has rabies. His foul mouth is so offensive that even she wants to slap him.
Could it really be that his demonic bloodline has awakened?
After hesitating for a moment, Yuri couldn't help but whisper.
"Qin Yu, why don't you go to the infirmary?"
Qin Yu looked at Yuri expressionlessly. "Do you think I'm sick?"
"That's not what I meant. I just think it's good to get a checkup once in a while."
"Oh! So what do you think I should get checked?"
"My head."
"...So you think I'm mentally ill?"
"..."
This time, Yuri didn't answer, only falling into a long silence.
But sometimes, silence itself is an answer.
"Comrade Yuri! You can hit me! You can throw me! But you actually questioned my intelligence! That's a bit too much!"
"I'm not!"
"No! Why do you want me to go to the hospital to get my head checked!"
"What's wrong with getting a checkup!"
"Then why don't you get checked yourself!"
"Nonsense! I'm not mentally ill!"
"You're still thinking I'm mentally ill!!!"
In the end, the two parted on bad terms.
Qin Yu, who gained over thirty energy points, suffered a brutal bridge throw.
Returning to the classroom, twisting his neck, Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
This girl is quite proactive, but the energy she provides is so stingy.
I argued with her for ages, and in the end, I even got thrown around and only got 40 energy points!
This girl is so cheap! I'm not playing with her again!
Just as Qin Yu sat back down in his chair, thinking about how to gain energy faster, the classroom door suddenly opened.
First, a short boy peeked in furtively, then quickly ducked back in after confirming the teacher wasn't there.
The next second, a gaunt man with a very unfriendly face walked into the classroom. His appearance... well...
can only be described as looking older than his age.
He glanced around, and at a student's prompting, quickly looked at Qin Yu and strode over.
With a bang, he slammed his hand on the desk, his eyes fixed on Qin Yu. Behind him were four or five students, mostly from other classes, with only one being a member of Qin Yu's class.
And this person was none other than the unfortunate kid who had ambushed Qin Yu in the groin yesterday, and been impaled in the toilet by Qin Yu while upside down.
Eyes wide, mouth gaping, the precocious man's tone was vicious.
"So you're Qin Yu, huh?!"
Qin Yu snapped out of his reverie at this, slowly stood up, and looked down at him.
"So what?! I am Qin Yu!!"
Looking up at the nearly two-meter-tall behemoth that had instantly enveloped him in shadow, the precocious man's expression froze. He slowly turned to look at his henchman behind him, his eyes filled with confusion.
This is the easy-to-bully guy you were talking about?!
