Chapter 162 Being a Marshal's Daughter Isn't Easy
"Class, today's lesson will be about the history of the Alliance and the Empire..."
……
"How boring..." Yu Liu leaned on the balcony railing, looking at the lush green trees outside the window, and sighed.
"In 3033 AD, the current leader of the empire, Ren Tantao, announced the establishment of the empire in Jimi City..."
Behind Yu Liu was a small single room. In the center of the room, a figure was projected, wearing glasses and a business suit, solemnly explaining a book.
"When will this class end..." Yu Liu rested her chin on her hand, looking slightly dejected.
She was currently in Taishu Shang's dormitory at school. Taishu Shang was a 12-year-old child and still a student. Of course, in the future, there would be no distinction between primary school and university. The school would simply provide students with an opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from each other. The real teaching would be moved online, and students could learn anytime.
Under this system, in order to ensure that students attend classes, the school holds an exam every week, and only students who pass the exam can continue to stay in the school.
Yu Liu arrived here on a Tuesday, and three days have passed since then. The exams are fast approaching, but... Yu Liu has never attended school systematically, and even if she had, she hasn't studied the courses that future students will learn...
Therefore, Yu Liu's feelings at this moment can probably only be described as utter despair.
"Sigh... If I get the lowest score on the exam... How embarrassing..." Yu Liu imagined the scene and buried her face in her arms in shame. "I'm going to help Tai Shushang live a different life... Turning her from a top student into a poor student is a different life, I guess..."
Even Yu Liu herself felt a little shameless when she said that last sentence.
"But I just can't concentrate on these teachers' lectures..."
Yu Liu glanced back at the virtual teacher, still not wanting to go back to the class.
"If you can't listen, then don't listen. Why force yourself?"
A voice suddenly appeared.
"who?!!"
Yu Liu was startled and subconsciously looked up in the direction of the sound. She saw a head peeking out from the edge of the balcony above her, grinning at her.
"Who are you?" After asking this, Yu Liu suddenly realized where she was: "You...this...this is the girls' dormitory!!! Why are you, a guy, here?!"
The boy hanging upside down on the balcony paused for a moment, blinked, as if processing what Yu Liu had said: "Uh... that..."
He was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to start the conversation, so he subconsciously scratched his head.
"Click——"
A slight noise was heard.
The boy's hand, which was scratching his head, stopped abruptly. He carefully tilted his head to look at his feet, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the thin pipe that was mostly broken off and wrapped around his feet. His expression instantly turned a little embarrassed.
He carefully gripped the wall with both hands, leaned out and said ingratiatingly to Yu Liu, "Hi! Little beauty, can I borrow the seat next to you?"
"Huh? What do you want to do?"
Yu Liu's expression had become wary.
"Click——"
The faint cracking sound came again. The boy grinned and nodded towards Yu Liu's side: "No time to explain to you, little beauty! Move over! Quickly!"
"Ah..." Yu Liu had no idea what was going on, but subconsciously she felt that the boy in front of her was trustworthy, so she listened to him and moved to the side.
The boy subconsciously curled into a smile, loosened his grip on the tiny pipe on the wall, and let go of the grip with his hands. He fell headfirst into Yu Liu's horrified gaze.
In a flash, the boy's hands swept across the railing of the balcony of Yu Liu's dormitory and quickly grabbed it tightly, hanging face-out from the railing.
"Hey! Are you okay?"
Yu Liu was a little worried and asked subconsciously.
"It's alright, this little situation is no problem for me!" The boy smiled confidently. "Move aside a bit, I'm going up!"
"Oh!" Yu Liu responded subconsciously, only realizing afterward that this was her dormitory, and she was currently all alone. She had just let a seemingly impressive boy in...
Before she could think any further, the boy kicked himself behind him, used his waist to twist against the Earth's gravity, and spun around almost halfway before landing safely on the balcony.
Hi! Hello, beautiful lady!
Noticing Yu Liu's gaze, the boy casually patted himself down, raised his hand in greeting, and smiled brightly.
His eyes were bright, and his fine hairs slightly obscured his eyebrows and eyes. Sunlight shone on them, giving off a soft glow. He was a sunny and cheerful young man.
Yu Liu was momentarily stunned, feeling a little bit amazed.
"Hello..." Yu Liu greeted him somewhat blankly. As soon as the words left her mouth, she snapped out of her daze, her expression changing, and she took a step back. "Wait a minute! Who are you? Why are you in the girls' dormitory? And why did you come in?! Boys aren't allowed here!!"
Hearing Yu Liu's barrage of questions, the boy's smile remained unchanged: "Oh, don't be so wary! I mean no harm!"
He raised his hands to indicate that he was a good person.
"I was passing by the playground when I spotted the pretty girl leaning on the balcony railing, sighing all the while. I'm here to help you out!"
Yu Liu was skeptical of his words. The window of her dormitory did indeed face the playground, but she had turned on the shielding mode. In theory, people outside should not be able to see what was happening inside the dormitory.
"Don't worry, don't fret!" The boy pulled a medal out of his pocket. "I really didn't mean any harm! Here, take this. If I really did anything to you, you give this to your principal, and I'll be finished!"
Yu Liu took the medal with some apprehension and discovered that it was the emblem of the Eastern Legion.
"Are you a soldier? Or one of Marshal Dongfang's men?"
Yu Liu was still somewhat suspicious.
"Well, little beauty, you don't need to be wary of me. I'm the Marshal's personal guard. I've seen you from afar before. You're Taishu Yannuo's daughter—Taishu Shang, right?" He braced himself against the balcony railing, flipped himself up, and sat steadily on the thin railing, leaning against the wall behind him. "Speaking of which, your name is really awful. What father names his daughter 'Shang'?"
He muttered quietly.
"I'm just a lowly soldier by Marshal Dongfang's side. I wouldn't dare to do anything to the Marshal's daughter, so you really don't need to be so wary of me!"
He looked at Yu Liu with sincere eyes that shone brightly, his gaze filled with genuine affection.
"Ok."
Yu Liu clenched the badge in her hand and put it in her pocket.
"I'll believe you for now."
"That's wonderful!!" The boy's smile widened. "Let's get to know each other, my name is Yan Ning!"
“…I am Taishu Shang, you can call me A Shang!”
