Chapter 206
Throughout 2nd Year, Class A, it seemed that only Fang Li caught a glimpse of Riko’s somewhat evil grin.
At that moment, Fang Li inwardly exclaimed, “This isn’t good.”
After a whole year of interaction with Riko, how could Fang Li not understand the personality of this girl who had a baby face but a well-developed figure?
In short, Riko was a lively and cheerful girl, usually innocent but with a touch of idiotic attributes.
However, this girl had a hidden interest— pranking Fang Li.
For some reason, since the first year, Riko had engaged in various forms of pranks on Fang Li.
For example, when Fang Li borrowed her notebook, Riko secretly slipped in an adult book within it, nearly causing Fang Li to exclaim out loud in class.
Another time, when Fang Li was playing a game with Riko, she secretly switched his cellphone and replaced the desktop and photo gallery with her pictures, causing Shirayuki, who saw it accidentally, to react as if she had encountered doomsday, and she threatened to find Riko and give her a hard time.
Riko had pulled all sorts of big and small pranks, making Fang Li sometimes feel dizzy and manipulated.
So, this seemingly innocent and naive girl actually had a “Little Devil” hidden inside her, a very black belly.
At this moment, Riko seemed determined to cause some trouble.
Immediately, Fang Li wanted to stop her.
However, it was as if Riko had locked onto this very moment; she sobbed as she spoke to Aria, “Aria stole Riko’s boyfriend. Aria is a bad girl.”
Her words caused the whole class to fall silent.
The group of students who were just making a fuss a moment ago were now like their throats had been choked, and they all quieted down while wearing dazed expressions on their faces.
“Huh?” Aria was completely dumbfounded and made a sound as if she was malfunctioning.
At that moment, the classroom exploded.
“Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh!”
A group of students let out exaggerated cries, louder than before.
“So, Fang Li and Riko are in that kind of relationship?”
“I knew there was something special between these two since the first year!”
“In other words, Fang Li and Riko are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?”
“And Kanzaki is the third party?”
“This suddenly got very interesting!”
These were the voices of a group of girls who loved gossip.
As for the boys, they all had expressions as if they had been hit in their weak spots, their faces turned ashen, and their gazes toward Fang Li carried dark emotions and promised a lot of pain.
Fang Li was also aware that Riko was quite popular among the boys.
Her amiable personality was just one of the reasons.
Another reason was quite simple as it relates to Riko’s appearance.
Her looks were without a doubt very cute and beautiful.
Despite her small stature, her figure was excellent.
This combination of contrasting cuteness made nearly all the male students at Butei High view Riko as a treasure, to the point where they almost replaced their home pillows with ones resembling Riko’s appearance.
For such a girl to suddenly announce that she had a boyfriend, ignoring the girls who loved gossip, all the boys, whether single or not, exploded with curiosity and a lot of hostility.
This made Fang Li bury his face in his hands, not knowing what to say.
Until a certain moment…
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Accompanied by a burst of gunshots, the classroom’s ceiling was directly pierced, creating several bullet holes in it.
“Ah!”
All voices instantly came to a halt.
“Clang!”
Several empty shells fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
And with her face all red, Aria, holding up two Colts, shouted with her unique childlike voice, baring her teeth-like expression.
“Whoever dares to speak out of line, I’ll put a hole in their body!”
Silence fell upon the classroom.
Facing the S-Rank Butei in a rampage, the group of students who considered their own combat skills inadequate wisely chose to keep their mouths shut.
Meanwhile, Aria continued to have a red face, stiffening her neck as she glared at Fang Li, resembling an angry lioness.
“I-I mean, you already have that kind of relationship with her?” Aria stammered.
Before Fang Li could respond, Riko, who had been sobbing moments ago, suddenly raised her head, not a single tear in her eyes, as if she had just realized something.
“So, Aria didn’t know about Li Li and my relationship?”
Then, Riko turned to Fang Li, pointing at him as if she had found a heinous criminal, announcing, “In other words, Li Li, you’ve been two-timing!”
Before her words could settle, a sudden hand chop descended from above, landing heavily on Riko’s head. With a loud “Bang,” Riko let out a cry of pain and crouched down, holding her head.
“Cut the nonsense!” Fang Li withdrew his hand chop, looking at Riko on the ground with a chilling smile on his face. He said, “Riko, you should know I’m a person who holds grudges, right?”
“Ah… Ahaha…” Riko’s cute expression twitched slightly, and she lowered her head without any backbone, saying, “Riko was just joking, it was all just a joke. Li Li can understand, right?”
“Yes, I can understand,” Fang Li’s smile softened, but it made the students in the class shiver.
Then, he smiled and said, “So, I think I need to have a proper talk with Riko. Come on, step outside with me for a moment.”
With that, Fang Li grabbed Riko’s head as she attempted to turn and escape, dragging her out of the classroom like a tiger clamp, despite her pleas for mercy.
As they watched this scene, the classmates looked at each other in blank dismay and began whispering.
“It looks like Riko is in trouble…”
“Yeah…”
“She’s stirred up trouble with that devil…”
“It reminds me of that battle in the Assault Department…”
“You mean the time Riko tried to keep up with that guy, provoking him, and then the entire Assault Department went to challenge him?”
“That’s the one, all the students at the same level as him in the Assault Department were down for a day.”
“Frightening…”
Saying such things, the students returned to their seats with a collective understanding, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Tohyama Kinji, who was sitting in a corner, even pitifully muttered, “Finally, you understand how I felt in my first year when that guy had me cornered, right?”
Aria, on the other hand, seemed lost in thought.
“Two-timing… two-timing… two-timing…”
It seemed that this tsundere girl had no immunity to such love-related topics.
