God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

Everything would have to wait until after Liu Dazhi was dead.

Fortunately, Qin Siyang had endured plenty of humiliation in his past life, so pretending to be weak was second nature to him.

He immediately put on a smile full of apology,"Sorry, teacher. I didn't sleep well last night and didn't notice the principal standing here. Good morning, Principal! Good morning, Teacher!"

The principal generously smiled, as if he didn't mind at all that Qin Siyang had ignored him. Then, he said,"Make sure to get enough rest in the future. It's fine now, go to class."

"Thank you, Principal."

"Wait a moment!",That teacher called out to Qin Siyang again.

"Why aren't you carrying a school bag? What's in the bag you're holding? Let me see."

As if eager to show off his keen observation skills in front of the principal, the teacher snatched the bag from Qin Siyang's hand and opened it to inspect the contents.

"Why are there only food containers? Where are your textbooks? Didn't you do your homework over the weekend?"

Qin Siyang was annoyed by the teacher's nagging. What was the use of textbooks? Studying endlessly was just a waste of time. How many students actually got into the academies run by the United Government each year? Didn't they already know the numbers?

The school leaders all recognized the top students in each grade. If they wanted to focus on nurturing their elite students, that was fine, but why pick on an ordinary student like him?

However, faced with the teacher's stern questioning, Qin Siyang once again suppressed the urge to punch him back into infancy.

Every time he endured something, his hatred for Liu Dazhi deepened.

Just as Qin Siyang was about to speak, a girl's voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"Teacher, Qin Siyang was with me over the weekend at a classmate's house for tutoring. He left his books there. I already arranged with that classmate to bring them for him today."

Qin Siyang turned around and saw that the one speaking up for him was actually Li Jingwen.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Qin Siyang had no idea why Li Jingwen was helping him, but he nodded along,"That's right."

The teacher glanced at the two of them suspiciously but didn't detect any romantic feelings in their eyes. Realizing there were no signs of an early relationship, he let them go.

"Thank you, Teacher."

"Thank you, Teacher!"

The way the teacher scrutinized them didn't escape Qin Siyang's notice, making him inwardly scoff even more.

This pathetic school was even cracking down on early relationships? For whose benefit?

Most students would enter the workforce right after high school anyway. If they dated now, graduated, and got married, wouldn't that just let them focus entirely on work afterward?

He really didn't understand why a school like Ju'an School, with such a low college admission rate, had so many ridiculous rules.

———

Li Jingwen quickened her pace to walk beside Qin Siyang, matching his stride.

"Qin Siyang, shouldn't you say something to me?"

Looking at her bright and cheerful smile, Qin Siyang replied indifferently,"You think I should thank you?"

"I helped you. Isn't it only right that you say thank you?"

"When I used to bring you breakfast and help you with your homework, you never thanked me. You only said it was a test of our bond."

"Just now, consider it a test from me to you. Of course, I wasn't testing whether you were suitable to date—I was testing whether you still had any humanity left."

Li Jingwen's smile stiffened for a moment before she quickly switched to a coy, pleading tone,"I was wrong before. You've helped me, and I've helped you. We're even now, okay? If you keep talking so coldly, you'll really hurt my feelings."

'Even?'

Qin Siyang found it amusing.

In his memories, he had often stayed up late to finish Li Jingwen's homework. He had gone hungry just to bring her breakfast.

And now, after a single trivial favor, they were even?

His efforts, in Li Jingwen's eyes, were truly worthless.

Fortunately, in this second life, he had cut his losses in time.

Being even was good. Once they cleared the slate, he could sever ties with Li Jingwen completely. That way, he wouldn't have to see her and feel disgusted every day.

"Fine. We're even."

"Since we're even, let's start over. Qin Siyang, I'll be more proactive with you from now on. Can you…"

"Can I keep bringing you breakfast and doing your homework?"

Hearing Qin Siyang cut her off, Li Jingwen didn't catch his accusatory tone at all. Thinking he had agreed, she smiled and nodded eagerly,"Mhm, mhm! Can you? I really love seeing how much you care about me. My whole day's motivation comes from you. I've realized I can't be without you."

Then, she flashed a smile she believed would captivate Qin Siyang.

This overly sweet confession was something she and her best friend had planned over the weekend. Based on what they knew about Qin Siyang, it was sure to win him over.

But Qin Siyang only said coolly,"Li Jingwen, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."

"Go ahead! If I know, I'll tell you for sure."

"Why do you insist on deceiving me alone? Aren't there other guys willing to be your dog?"

Li Jingwen hadn't expected Qin Siyang to say that, and for a moment, she was speechless,"You… What do you mean?"

"If you want to chase Zhou Yang, put in the effort yourself. Stop trying to use me as a stepping stone, okay?"

"You bring him breakfast but make me prepare it. You want to match answers with him but make me do your homework. If you sleep with him, are you going to have me pushing from behind too?"

With brutally heartless words, Qin Siyang exposed Li Jingwen's schemes, leaving her flustered, her face showing a look of shock.

"Li Jingwen, stop bothering me. Find another dog to do your homework. And if you come pestering me again…"

Qin Siyang smirked disdainfully.

"You wouldn't want Zhou Yang to find out about this, would you?"
