"Marry her?" Ma Xiaoyao was petrified on the spot. "I'm still young, okay? Big sister!"

But the Yuki Onna said seriously, "You're not young anymore. Where we come from, people your age already have kids running errands!"

???

More than ten thousand question marks flashed through Ma Xiaoyao's mind.

Where they come from? What kind of creature is a Yuki Onna? Is it a god, or a demon?

"So, where exactly do you come from?"

Unable to figure it out, Ma Xiaoyao simply asked directly.

"This..." But the Yuki Onna immediately stammered, seeming reluctant to answer the question. In fact, she had already realized that she had said too much.

"Well, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep!" The Yuki Onna simply changed the subject, yawning and patting her mouth with her little hand before turning into a white light and鑽ing into the phone.

The Yuki Onna left as soon as she said she would, leaving Ma Xiaoyao alone in the wind, feeling confused. Wasn't she supposed to be his master? Why was she being so perfunctory when her master asked a question?

He was such a failure as a master!

Ma Xiaoyao glanced at the time. It was past eight o'clock, and he had to go back to school, or the dormitory would be locked.

Rende High School was a semi-closed management school. Some students were day students, and some were boarders.

Originally, the school's idea was to have all the students live on campus, as this would make their studies much more efficient than being day students. However, most parents who lived in the city used the excuse that their children were still young and unable to take care of themselves, and refused to let them live on campus.

The result of this was that students from the countryside who came to the city to study lived on campus, while students who lived in the city were day students.

In fact, there was another, more important reason why parents in the city were unwilling to let their children live on campus: they looked down on children from the countryside, considering them crude and uncouth, and were afraid that their own children would learn bad habits from them.

Ma Xiaoyao's home was in Taoyuan Village, within the jurisdiction of Lingshui City. He was a child from the countryside, so he naturally had to live on campus.

But when he returned to the dormitory building that day, he found that the atmosphere around him seemed a little strange. Everyone who saw him walked around him.

Although no one had ever really paid attention to Ma Xiaoyao before, they certainly wouldn't have acted like this today. They seemed to be afraid of him.

Ma Xiaoyao was puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. He slowly walked toward his dormitory, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard voices coming from inside.

"Ma Xiaoyao really showed off today, huh? Tsk tsk, beating up the local tyrant. That was so satisfying!"

Just by the sound of his voice, Ma Xiaoyao knew who was speaking: his roommate, Lin Yuyang.

Ma Xiaoyao didn't have many friends at school, but Lin Yuyang was definitely one of them. Although they weren't in the same class, they had always been on good terms.

Lin Yuyang was also one of the few people who didn't look down on Ma Xiaoyao for collecting scraps.

Ma Xiaoyao's understanding of Lin Yuyang was limited to the fact that he wasn't from Lingshui City and that he was very rich, but Ma Xiaoyao didn't know exactly how rich.

In Lin Yuyang's own words: "I don't care if my friends have money or not, because I have more money than all of them combined."

Very arrogant, but it also showed that he was confident.

As soon as Lin Yuyang finished speaking, someone started making sarcastic remarks: "Yuyang, you're not in our class, so you don't know. Ma Xiaoyao has really offended Young Master Han this time. I advise you not to get too close to him in the future."

The person speaking was Wang Feng. He was tall and fat, with a very honest face, but his honesty was limited to his appearance.

As soon as he finished speaking, the last person in the dormitory joined in: "Ma Xiaoyao is really done for this time. Everyone knows what kind of family he comes from, and I don't need to say more about what kind of family the Hans are… Yes, that's right, he humiliated Han Zitao today, but that's exactly why there's absolutely no room for reconciliation."

The person speaking was Liu Yifan. His figure was in stark contrast to Wang Feng's, as he was thin and small. He was a top student in Class Three of the Ninth Grade, but he also had a fault: he was too self-righteous and always thought he was smarter than others.

Because he wore a pair of large, thick glasses, he had earned the nickname 'Little Glasses'.

Then Lin Yuyang said in a bad tone, "Hey, Little Glasses, Wang Feng, what's with the way you guys are talking? No matter what, Xiaoyao and we have lived together for two or three years. Why are you turning your backs on him?"

"Hmph." Little Glasses snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Yuyang, you really shouldn't ignore the advice. This matter has spread. Now, everyone avoids Ma Xiaoyao when they see him, to avoid being mistaken for being associated with him and being retaliated against by Han Zitao."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaoyao couldn't help but shake his head and smile. No wonder everyone looked at him as if they had seen a ghost. It turned out that they were all afraid of being implicated.

At this time, Lin Yuyang in the dormitory was clearly getting angry and shouted loudly, "So what if it's Han Zitao? Others may be afraid of him, but I'm not! Ma Xiaoyao is my brother. If Han Zitao wants to touch Ma Xiaoyao, he'll have to ask me, Lin Yuyang, for my permission first!"

"Tch…" Little Glasses made a disdainful sound. Obviously, in his eyes, Lin Yuyang was not comparable to Han Zitao at all.

"Don't yell at us. If you're courting death, don't blame us for not reminding you!" Little Glasses' tone was also quite firm. Wang Feng, on the other hand, remained silent at this moment.

To be honest, Ma Xiaoyao was a little touched by Lin Yuyang's words, but he also knew that it was time for him to go in, or these two would definitely start fighting.

Ma Xiaoyao pushed open the door of the dormitory, pretending to have just returned from outside. Lin Yuyang was so angry with Little Glasses that he was about to fight him, but when he saw Ma Xiaoyao return, he immediately smiled.

"Yo, our great hero has finally returned. You really got rid of a scourge for the people today!" Lin Yuyang stepped forward and put his arm around Ma Xiaoyao, joking with him.

In fact, Lin Yuyang and Han Zitao had always been at odds, but Han Zitao was a local bully, and Lin Yuyang had never been able to do anything about it. So today, when Ma Xiaoyao humiliated Han Zitao, Lin Yuyang really felt that Ma Xiaoyao had gotten rid of a scourge for the people.

"Brother Yang, please don't make fun of me. I don't dare to call myself a hero," Ma Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

Ever since Ma Xiaoyao returned to the dormitory, Wang Feng and Little Glasses had remained silent, each busy with their own things.

After joking with Lin Yuyang for a while, Ma Xiaoyao went to the washroom to wash up and prepare for bed. Too many things had happened today, and he was afraid that he would only be able to properly digest them once he was in bed.
