Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2640: Chapter 1249: Forced to Escort the Flower

Yi Dong, unaware of the gravity of the situation, was heavily hit.

Evidently, despite his great interest in eighteen-plus doujinshi with a hint of H, and being indifferent to the existence of beautiful boys within, he was still not keen on a book categorized as eighteen-plus with all beautiful boys and not a single beautiful girl.

"Can I make a deal..."

Yi Dong nervously glanced at the screen, forcing a smile, and said in a dry voice to Motan: "Could you kindly hack my email later and delete that thing?"

[Leave it to me.]

Throwing a meaningful look at Yi Dong, Motan mocked him in a manner that perfectly suited Gu Xiao Le’s intent: "What does it have to do with me? You wanted the book; you cry, but you gotta finish it."

"Exactly, exactly."

Gu Xiao Le nodded vigorously, a fervent gleam in her eyes: "Yi Dong, you should read it thoroughly! Maybe you’ll discover a new continent or something! Didn’t our Old Ancestor once say, ’You’ve never dated a man, so how do you know you like women’?"

Yi Dong’s mouth twitched, his face pale as he said: "I’d better not find out which Old Ancestor said this, or I’ll make sure to dig up their grave."

"Oh, come off it, what era are we in to still be so feudal."

Gu Xiao Le pouted unhappily, chuckling as she said: "Honestly, after you finish reading my book, maybe you’ll realize your feelings for Tan Jiang—aren’t you two quite a pair?"

[Take me with you when you dig up graves.]

Motan conveyed a signal to Yi Dong with his eyes.

[You better delete Sister Xiao Le’s stuff or else if I really awaken some weird hobby, haha...]

Yi Dong returned a meaningful look to Motan.

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. But remember to take a look when you have time. It’d be great if you could write a summary or something."

Gu Xiao Le didn’t miss the supposedly secret eye exchange between them, but she didn’t continue to hold onto the subject of beautiful boys and books; she just said lightly: "So... I’m being swapped, right? You, Yi Dong, are idle all day with nothing to do. Instead of playing games at home, why not go to school with Sister Xiao Le and get the paperwork done?"

Yi Dong shook his head strongly: "No, I really have something to do today."

Gu Xiao Le looked skeptically at her cousin, full of disbelief: "What’s up? If you dare say you’re stuck in your room playing games, don’t blame me for hitting you."

"Homework."

Yi Dong sighed weakly, his handsome face in distress as he said in a dry voice: "Director Pang went nuts; I only found out yesterday that he wants each of us to submit a paper of at least twelve A4 pages. The topic is..."

"Don’t tell me that!"

Gu Xiao Le screamed, enraged: "I barely freed myself from those things! I haven’t even started my graduation thesis yet!"

"Eh?"

Motan was suddenly curious and asked Gu Xiao Le: "Sister Xiao Le, what’s your major?"

"Huh? I’m in the Humanities and Social Sciences research class."

Gu Xiao Le blinked, shrugged: "I study archaeology."

Upon first hearing about his cousin’s major, Yi Dong froze: "Archaeology? Grave digging?"

"Pretty much. Actually, our major mainly studies the Palaeolithic era of Japan and East Asia, like the hunting techniques used by prehistoric hunter-gatherers."

Gu Xiao Le rubbed her nose tip, shrugged: "But personally, I prefer grave digging... Hmm, using proper means, legally and justly, to dig up graves and study some pre-modern stuff."

Yi Dong rolled his eyes and curiously asked: "Why would a girl like you study this stuff?"

"Simple."

Gu Xiao Le replied nonchalantly, languidly saying: "Moreover, when encountering something confusing, I can ask—I may be an honor student, but when truly needing to inquire, it’s not often, though slightly helpful."

Yi Dong’s mouth twitched, saying dryly: "Even if you learn to sweep, you can still ask if you don’t understand."

"You don’t know anything."

Gu Xiao Le tilted her head up proudly, hands on hips: "I can directly ask Nobunaga-san how he got burned to death back then, and I’ve checked the answer with Mitsuhide Teriyaki. Can you do that?"

Yi Dong took a while to realize Gu Xiao Le was talking about the Incident at Ben Neng Temple and smiled proudly: "What’s that? I even dated Princess Azai!"

Gu Xiao Le immediately retorted without thinking: "You could just say you used Azai Nagamasa in Sengoku results, easy enough."

Yi Dong: "..."

Gu Xiao Le raised her eyebrows: "By the way, after that, Princess Azai remarried Ghost Shibata."

"Hey, I didn’t nitpick when you were talking nonsense!"

Yi Dong was instantly upset, protesting: "Why can’t I say a few words?"

"Who’s spouting nonsense? I’m..."

Gu Xiao Le cut off midway, quickly swallowed back the contents about ’I chat and laugh with ghosts’, and huffed: "Because I am the older sister, so you have to yield to me!"

Yi Dong sneered, sniffing contemptuously: "What kind of twisted logic."

"Okay."

Gu Xiao Le sighed, raising her long leg: "Then... because you can’t beat me, so you have to give in."
