Chapter 154 The Adorable Mascot

At the corner of a building not far away, a giant doll, a "Chabuduo Wa Wa," was hiding, its round eyes fixed on Xia Huanao. Xia Huanao grabbed Zheng Xiaoxiao's skirt. "Sister Xiaoxiao, Sister Ruo won't retaliate against me, will she?"

Zheng Xiaoxiao waved at the Chabuduo Wa Wa. "Probably not, I'll stop her."

Xia Huanao didn't believe her at all. If she could stop her, were all the wall-punching sounds he heard last semester just his imagination?

The Chabuduo Wa Wa walked over unhappily and gently patted Zheng Xiaoxiao. Zheng Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Alright, alright, I'll go now."

With that, Zheng Xiaoxiao looked at Xia Huanao. "Come on, help me move this doll to the principal's office."

The two of them carried the Chabuduo Wa Wa towards the principal's office. On the way, a student greeted Zheng Xiaoxiao and asked, "Sister, what is this? Are you putting it in the principal's office?"

Zheng Xiaoxiao nodded and patted the Chabuduo Wa Wa's butt. "Look, this large doll is made so well. After I put it in the principal's office, you can all come and play with it. Little Xia, let's keep going."

Xia Huanao smiled at the girl, then continued towards the principal's office with Zheng Xiaoxiao, carrying the Chabuduo Wa Wa.

Upon reaching the principal's office, they quickly put down the Chabuduo Wa Wa and unzipped it from behind. Xia Huanao asked, "Xiaoxiao, Sister, should I step out?"

Zheng Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Stay here. I might have a bit of trouble handling things alone."

After rescuing Tong Ruo, who had been enveloped within the Chabuduo Wa Wa, Xia Huanao looked at the gel-like substance covering her. "Sister Xiaoxiao, what is this substance?"

Zheng Xiaoxiao poked the jelly on Tong Ruo. "Oh, this is the cooling gel from the Rainbow Star Mall. I poured quite a lot in to ensure the Chabuduo Wa Wa felt full."

Xia Huanao looked at Tong Ruo and the cooling gel, which resembled melting amber, and pointed to the object in Tong Ruo's mouth. "So, Sister Xiaoxiao, why did you gag her?"

"Wasn't it to prevent anyone from discovering it and affecting Ruo Ruo's image?"

Xia Huanao surveyed Tong Ruo's current pitiable state. "Um, Sister Xiaoxiao, I don't think she has much of an image left with me."

Tossing the ball aside, Xia Huanao asked, "Sister Ruo, are you feeling any better?"

Tong Ruo looked at Xia Huanao and said, "Little Xia, you are my hero!"

Xia Huanao turned his head away. Really? The killing intent and aura she had just directed at him were definitely not his imagination.

However, this doubt was quickly dispelled because Tong Ruo then said, "If I'm angry, I'm only angry at Zheng Xiaoxiao."

Although they all knew she was joking, Zheng Xiaoxiao still flicked her hand angrily. "Fine, then let your great hero save you. I'm leaving."

With that, Zheng Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and left. In the principal's office, Xia Huanao and Tong Ruo faced each other, the atmosphere extremely awkward. After a long while, Xia Huanao finally said, "Um, I'll go find Sister Xiaoxiao now."

Tong Ruo quickly stopped him. "No, hurry up and save me! What if someone else comes and sees this?"

Xia Huanao had no choice but to reach out and touch the gel enveloping Tong Ruo. "What is this stuff? It's so sticky. Isn't it cooling gel? Why does it feel like this?"

But soon, Xia Huanao felt a wave of coolness spreading through his hand. He felt as if he was enveloped in coolness, an almost heavenly comfort that made him stop his actions.

Tong Ruo looked at his expression and scolded, "Aren't you going to hurry up! How long do you plan to drag this out?"

Xia Huanao finally snapped back to reality and began to free Tong Ruo from the gel. As he was busy, Xia Huanao heard footsteps approaching the door.

"Yun Shu, do you need something here?"

"Principal, this is an emergency plan our student council created at Teacher Xia's request for the team selection competition. We intended to find Teacher Xia, but we couldn't, so we decided to give it to you first."

Zheng Xiaoxiao took the documents from Ouyang Yun Shu's hand. "Alright, give them to me then."

Ouyang Yun Shu, having completed his task, intended to chat with Zheng Xiaoxiao for a bit longer. "Sister Xiaoxiao, why are you standing in the corridor?"

Zheng Xiaoxiao pointed to the window in the corridor. "Because it's cooler in the corridor."

Ouyang Yun Shu agreed with her statement. "Indeed, whether it's the student council office or other classrooms, it's too hot in the summer. Even with the doors and windows open, it's still scorching. The corridor is much more comfortable."

Listening to Ouyang Yun Shu and Zheng Xiaoxiao talking outside, Xia Huanao's movements became tense. Tong Ruo whispered to him, "Faster, faster!"

But both of them overlooked one problem: these sticky substances generally have excellent tensile strength.

Xia Huanao pulled the gel extremely long before he could tear off even a small piece. Although he sped up Tong Ruo's escape from the gel with more forceful and rapid movements, Xia Huanao was still somewhat hesitant and didn't dare to act in certain areas.

Tong Ruo pouted, her face red. "Damn Xiaoxiao, I'll deal with you later."

Xia Huanao finally freed Tong Ruo's hands, allowing her to free herself. However, Tong Ruo was clearly quite angry, and her actions were even more wild. Soon, Xia Huanao heard a tearing sound.

Xia Huanao looked towards the source of the sound and was immediately blinded by a blob of black gel.

...

At noon, the three of them sat by the table in the principal's office. Xia Huanao, head bowed, quietly ate his lunch, not daring to look at Tong Ruo, who was sitting next to him. Zheng Xiaoxiao, meanwhile, teased Xia Huanao. "What's wrong? Afraid to speak? Did you do something you shouldn't have done before?"

Xia Huanao lowered his head even further. Tong Ruo reached under the table and pinched Zheng Xiaoxiao's thigh.

Zheng Xiaoxiao saw the gel in the trash can and naturally understood what had happened. Now, after being pinched by Tong Ruo, she asked with a smile, "Ruo Ruo, do you want to continue playing the Chabuduo Wa Wa this afternoon? I think you play it quite interestingly."

Tong Ruo snorted and said nothing. Zheng Xiaoxiao leaned into her ear. "Don't worry, I'll clean the gel for you this time..."

Xia Huanao watched these two sisters engrossed in their own affection without regard for others. He didn't know whether to sit or leave. Finally, he put down his lunch. "I'm full."

"Oh dear, Little Xia is angry. Should we let you clean the gel tonight?"

Seeing the change in Xia Huanao's expression, Zheng Xiaoxiao returned to her seat and handed her phone to Xia Huanao. "Little Xia, sister apologizes. Do you see? This is the purchase link for the cooling gel."

Xia Huanao quickly scanned the screen, memorizing the content, and then said to Zheng Xiaoxiao, "I accept your apology, Sister Xiaoxiao."

Tong Ruo looked at these two mischievous individuals and could only shake her head helplessly. The system also condemned Xia Huanao's behavior. "Are you all talk and no action, or..."

"System, shut up. No one will think you're mute if you don't speak."

Just as the afternoon classes were about to begin, Xia Huanao saw Tong Ruo once again put on a swimsuit and enter the Chabuduo Wa Wa.

Watching Zheng Xiaoxiao skillfully fill the doll with cooling gel, Xia Huanao poked the Chabuduo Wa Wa's foot, which had bulged due to the filling, with great interest.

"I think I shouldn't have sent Xiao Meng back to my parents. If only Xiao Meng could see that the feel of an artificial Chabuduo Wa Wa is much more comfortable than hugging her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Xiaoxiao came over, grabbed Xia Huanao's hand, and pushed down hard. "Is that so? How do you think this part feels?"

Before Xia Huanao could speak, Tong Ruo, inside the Chabuduo Wa Wa suit, exclaimed, "Zheng Xiaoxiao, are you trying to die!"

"Don't move, don't move! The gel hasn't fully taken effect yet. If you move like this, something bad will happen!"

...

Another half hour passed. Xia Huanao walked out, holding the Chabuduo Wa Wa's hand. Looking at Tong Ruo, whose power was limited by the suit, Xia Huanao said, "How should I address you? If our Xiao Meng is called Xiao Meng, how about calling you Da Meng?"

"Da Meng" let out a muffled sound, and it was unclear whether she agreed or disagreed. Xia Huanao hugged Da Meng. "I'll take that as a yes. Let's go, Da Meng."

Seeing such a large Chabuduo Wa Wa following Xia Huanao, the students in the school became interested. "Teacher Xia, where did you capture this spirit?"

Xia Huanao shook his head. "You can tell at a glance that you got into Liu Ling University through the back door. What did you learn in basic spirit biology? Under what circumstances do spirits mutate into such individuals? This is a staff member I painstakingly invited to play the Chabuduo Wa Wa as a mascot for our team selection competition."

"Is that so? But she looks so cute."

Xia Huanao nodded. "Right? I think so too. Do you want to give her a hug?"

"Can I really?"

"Of course. I think Da Meng Meng would be very happy to be hugged by you."

The girl immediately threw herself onto Da Meng Meng. "Teacher Xia, did you come up with this name?"

Xia Huanao nodded. "What's wrong? Don't you like it? Then you should get off Da Meng Meng."

The girl immediately hugged Da Meng tightly. "No! She's so cute, so cool, I really like Da Meng Meng."

A boy beside them raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, can I hug Da Meng Meng too?" Xia Huanao feigned a kick. "Are you looking for death? Let me tell you, hugging Da Meng Meng is like embracing our Xiao Meng. I would never let Xiao Meng be hugged by just any boy. You can at most stand fifty meters away and take a photo together."

"Teacher Xia, what's the point of taking a photo from fifty meters away?"

"Then I can't help it."
