Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

Chapter 199 Congratulations

He then realized that he wasn't the only one who disliked celebrating random holidays. He turned to look at Yu Feng, only to see the girl take out two chocolates from her pocket and hand one to Jimmy and one to him.

From the moment Yu Feng handed him the chocolate, and from the moment Jimmy's gaze shifted from expectation to disappointment, he knew he was doomed.

"that……"

He began to regret why he hadn't gone to the Magic Shopping Street today, and why he hadn't gone to the trouble of buying a few chocolates.

He began to regret not accepting a piece when he saw several girls making chocolates together and they enthusiastically offered to share one with him.

He felt he should say something nice at this moment in order to get a lighter sentence for his mistake.

"I forgot."

Very simple, very straightforward, and very personal in style.

After he finished speaking, he felt a pang of guilt.

"Let's go eat, it's on me."

“No!” Jimmy’s eyes lit up. “Although your behavior of forgetting your friends is countless, I’ve always been tolerant of my friends.”

He affectionately put his arm around the Flame King's shoulder: "Why don't we just make it simple and return the allowance that Xiao Fengfeng and I received this month..."

Since he secretly followed him to the Moe Academy, in order to prevent him from running around again, Principal Oss initially made him have to go to the principal's office to ask Principal Oss for anything he wanted to buy, or leave an IOU from the merchant with Principal Oss paying for it.

Despite his months of efforts, the allowance still didn't reach him directly.

But they found someone easier to persuade.

He licked his lips and said, "Don't worry, even if we have money, we will never run away and we will never let Principal Os know about this!"

"No."

A clean and decisive refusal

Jimmy: ...

They weren't very easy to talk to either.

"If you don't trust me, you don't trust Xiaofengfeng. You can give her her share. Girls always have a lot of things to buy, it's too much trouble to ask you for everything."

A simple kick to the side reveals the unspoken understanding between people.

Although he had been spacing out and stroking the duckling in his arms, which was entrusted to him by someone else, and hadn't been listening to what they were saying at all, when his eyes met Jimmy's, Yu Feng looked at Yan Wang and nodded very sincerely.

"No."

The response was still rejection.

Flame King crossed his arms, seeing through his little trick: "Principal Os said that no matter the reason, the money cannot be given to any of you."

The lack of trust between people is on full display at this moment.

Jimmy pulled Yu Feng along quickly, saying, "Let's go, we're not playing with him."

Damn it, he's planning to sneak off to the human world for a trip in a couple of days!

Waking up from her sleep, the hungry duck quacked twice in Yu Feng's arms. Jimmy turned around and glared at Yan Wang: "See? Even the duck doesn't approve of your behavior!"

Flame King: ...

……

After buying the duck snacks, Ya Ya stepped out of the store and was shivered by the cold wind outside.

I don't know what got into them this year, but they insisted on having some kind of romantic snowfall on Valentine's Day night.

They could have just done a superficial job and that would have been fine, but they went and deliberately lowered the temperature to create an atmosphere.

She didn't feel any romance at all.

She only felt the chill of the wind.

Each store displays its own advertisement—the same old routine, almost every year it's the same.

I left with the duck snacks without much thought. A gust of cold wind cleared my head a bit. I glanced at the heavy bag in my hand and realized I had bought a bit too much.

Then they stood in front of a shop for a long time.

The regular price is 1299, but today it's only 520!

It doesn't seem cheap either.

Just as she was about to leave, she glanced at the large bag in her hand again.

That's too kind of you to that dead duck.

She felt she needed to treat herself better.

but--

Couples get a discount.

I glanced at my empty right hand, then at my left hand, which was carrying a large bag of snacks.

I wonder if the store manager will believe her nonsense and give her a discount if she says she likes duck snacks.

I should have brought Fufu along.

Liking dolls is always more convincing.

She looked around again and again. People on the street were all in pairs. Some were buying clothes for their partners, and others were brushing snowflakes off their partners' heads. But there was no one like her who was alone and craving a discounted meal.

Oh, wait a minute, her eyes lit up.

"Hey classmate, do you have a moment? I need your help with something very important."

The moment He Yan saw her, he hallucinated a ground covered in magic potions and the sound of wailing filling his ears.

Having obtained his teaching license through a teacher selection process, he just reported to Meng Academy today. Director Pa said that Teacher Qian Jin had taken a three-year leave to travel to Mars, and since the office space was empty anyway, they gave it to him.

Along with it, he also received money from the teacher's cabinet.

It's unclear how long the cabinet had been unopened, but the moment it was opened, the pungent smell of rotten durian filled the entire teachers' office.

The first person to be confronted with the smell upon opening the cabinet—Pa—slipped to the ground and fainted. Several teachers hurriedly took him to the infirmary, leaving him alone on the spot.

There was no other way. First, I dealt with the rotten durian, and then I washed the inside and outside of the cabinet many times. It looked clean, but the smell still wouldn't go away.

I went back to the faculty dormitory to take a shower and change my clothes, then went to the Magic Commercial Street to buy a bottle of deodorant to try it out.

If that still doesn't work, I'll just have to pour in some potion... Imagining which potion would be most effective, he strode forward, lost in thought, until his clothes were tugged, hindering his progress, and only then did his busy, hectic pace come to a stop.

"It's you?" The classmate who asked for his help had a sweet smile one second, but the next second his true colors were revealed. Perhaps he remembered that he was asking for help, and after looking around, his smile returned to its sweetness.

But it just doesn't seem right.

"I am now a teacher at the Moe Academy."

"Oh," he replied listlessly, offering a formulaic congratulatory message, "Congratulations."

"Teacher, could you please do me a favor?"

"What kind of help?" My mind was still preoccupied with that unfinished cabinet.

It's not his style to only do things halfway, but as a teacher, he should certainly be happy to help his students when they need it.

Thinking of the teachings in Qian Jin's letter, he tried his best to appear more approachable in front of this classmate with whom he had a past conflict.

“I’d like to treat someone to that.” She pointed to the restaurant, demonstrating her exceptional emotional intelligence when it came to food.

After a pause, seeing that He Yan didn't seem very interested, she tentatively asked, "The teacher shouldn't refuse a student's small request... right?"

During that moment of silence, He Yan only thought about how he had accidentally broken her three bottles of magic potions, and how so many things had happened since then. By the time he returned them, she no longer needed them.

"I'll treat you."
