As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

"Don't worry, I feel like Raiden Mei and Bronya will definitely be fine." Chen Yuan thought for a moment. Bronya was definitely a top student, and Raiden Mei was also the type who loved studying.

“However… Kiana is a bit…” At this point, the room fell silent. Theresa and Chenyuan looked at each other and sighed.

Kiana, you can't call her stupid. To be honest, she's quite smart, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to travel to so many places at such a young age. But... well, it's the Kaslana family; they only activate their own brains when their external brains aren't around.

"Sigh, I hope she passes the exam smoothly," Theresa said, shaking her head helplessly. To be honest, even Theresa thought it was unrealistic; after all, she knew her niece's personality all too well.

"What's the use of worrying about that~" Chen Yuan chuckled, jumping off Theresa's shoulder and shrinking to normal size before pinning Theresa down on the sofa. "However, our great headmaster is clearly slacking off at home during working hours, she needs to be punished~"

Before Chen Yuan could finish speaking, Theresa's face instantly turned as red as an apple. She struggled a few times, but found herself completely unable to move. Chen Yuan's symbiote had already wrapped around her hands, making her even more powerless to resist.

"Chen Yuan, what... what do you want to do!" Theresa's voice was tinged with panic, but her eyes held a hint of expectation.

Chen Yuan's lips curled into a wicked smile as he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Dean, you're so unprofessional! You're slacking off during work hours. Is this the kind of example you're setting for the students?"

Theresa's face flushed even more. She let out a soft groan, trying to break free from Chen Yuan's grasp, but ultimately gave up. She glared at Chen Yuan, her voice trembling slightly, "You...you scoundrel, let me go!"

"No way," he said, picking Theresa up by the waist and carrying her straight into the room.

Meanwhile, at the St. Freya Academy, the atmosphere was unusually tense during the exam. Kiana sat in her seat, pen in hand, staring at the exam paper in front of her, her brow furrowed, her eyes completely vacant.

Raiden Mei and Bronya appeared much more composed. Bronya's pen flew across the paper, answering almost every question quickly. Raiden Mei, on the other hand, answered the questions while occasionally glancing at Kiana.

"Kiana, are you alright?" Raiden Mei asked Kiana quietly, noticing that Himeko hadn't noticed them. "Don't rush, take your time writing. The more you rush, the less you'll write."

"Mei~ I know... it's just a little difficult." Kiana sighed, her face looking rather pale, her expression scrunched up like a bitter gourd.

I glanced down at the exam paper again. I recognized every single word, but when they were put together, they seemed to form an insurmountable wall, and an immense sense of oppression pressed down on me.

'Idiot Kiana…' With a sigh, Bronya secretly took a piece of paper, scribbled down the drafts of each question with her pen, and while Himeko seemed not to be paying attention, crumpled the paper into a ball and tossed it toward Kiana.

The crumpled paper traced an arc in the air before landing on Kiana's desk. Kiana was startled, but quickly recovered, clutching the paper in her hand. She quietly unfolded it, revealing densely packed drafts and titles. She then reached behind her back and discreetly gave it a thumbs-up.

"Bronya... I'll never call you 'little dwarf' again!!" Kiana was secretly moved. Although she knew that cheating on exams was wrong, as long as she wasn't caught, it didn't count as cheating!

Moreover, if I continue writing like this, I probably won't pass. Maybe I can guess a few of the multiple-choice questions correctly, choosing the longest among three short and one long, or the shortest among three long and one short, but they are all the same length, so how can I guess correctly!

So!! To prevent Chen Yuan from getting angry, and to prevent Theresa from being disappointed, a little cheating shouldn't matter, right? Thinking of this, Kiana even felt a sense of honor!

However, before Kiana could feel proud of her "change of heart," just as she unfolded the note, a pen pierced through it.

"Kiana, concentrate and don't make any sudden movements!" Himeko's voice followed, and her eyes were fixed on Kiana with a murderous glare, which frightened Kiana so much that she threw the note away.

"Yes, Himeko... Himeko-sensei, I understand!" Kiana quickly focused her attention on her exam paper. She was simply trying her best to pass this exam, to avoid disappointing Theresa, and to embark on the path of Valkyrie as soon as possible. Why couldn't she be a little more lenient?

“That idiot…” Bronya glanced at Kiana, sighed, and then ignored her. She stood up, picked up her test paper, and walked to the podium. “Himeko-sensei, Bronya is handing in her paper.”

Meanwhile, Theresa and Chenyuan's interactions in the dormitory were quite lively. "What are you doing? Put me down!" Theresa said coquettishly after returning to the room, but there was no hint of refusal in her voice.

Chen Yuan looked at her with a grin: "Didn't the headmaster say that we should be strict with ourselves? How can you be lazy? Now is the perfect time to teach you a lesson."

"You scoundrel, how dare you treat the headmaster like this!" Theresa protested verbally, but the blush on her face betrayed her. She looked at Chen Yuan with a languid gaze; this guy seemed incredibly irritating, yet she felt a strange helplessness towards him, and she liked him intensely.

Chen Yuan gently placed Theresa on the bed, then pressed himself against her, staring into her eyes. For a moment, an ambiguous atmosphere seemed to fill the air. "Won't this leave you no time to work? Shouldn't you consider your responsibilities?"

“You…” Theresa was taken aback by his direct gaze, her heart churning with complex emotions, yet she couldn’t utter a word. “You’re bad…”

"I just wanted to give the headmaster a break." Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Anyway, everyone else is busy with exams outside, and you have nothing to do here."

"...This is not the result I wanted." Theresa turned her head slightly, trying to hide her shyness. But she felt an indescribable sweetness in her heart; the feeling of leaning on him made her forget all the pressure in an instant.

At that moment, light streamed into the room through the curtains, illuminating the two figures leaning against each other. A hint of tenderness flickered in Chen Yuan's eyes. He gently withdrew his hand, breaking the delicate atmosphere, but couldn't help but lower his head and whisper in Theresa's ear.

"Theresa, it's okay. It's alright to slack off once in a while. You know, sometimes taking a break is the most effective way to work." These words were like a gentle breeze, brushing past Theresa's ears and bringing a wave of warmth.

“But…I can’t…” Theresa’s voice was weak and trembling, as if she was trying to suppress the turmoil in her heart. “The students need me. I can’t give myself too much relaxation. Besides, I’m not slacking off today, it’s just…”

“No, it’s okay if you slack off, they’ll understand,” Chen Yuan said softly, as if comforting her while simultaneously closing the distance between them. “Besides, with me here, you can always take a short break.”

These words made Theresa's heart race. "You really are a bad guy," she verbally protested, but deep down, an indescribable emotion was slowly growing within her.

Chen Yuan smiled. "Then let this scoundrel take good care of you! Let's play something fun, think about what you like best!"

“The things I like…” Theresa was stunned. Countless moments she had spent with Chen Yuan flashed through her mind, finally settling on that crazy night. Her face flushed red, and she turned away shyly.

“I know you like this…” Seeing Theresa’s expression, Chen Yuan gently turned her face towards him. “Are you ready?”

"You rascal, you already know, why ask?" Theresa scoffed lightly, gently wrapping her arm around Chen Yuan's neck. "Of course I'm ready, do you even need to ask? I've always been ready."

Chen Yuan smiled and kissed her. Their lips touched lightly, as if the whole world had frozen in that instant. Theresa's heart pounded faster and faster, and her hands naturally wrapped around Chen Yuan's neck, responding to his passionate kiss.

The initial coquettishness and resistance vanished in that moment; their distance dissolved, leaving only each other's warmth and heartbeats.

In their tight embrace, Theresa began to realize how precious and beautiful this feeling was. Chen Yuan, equally absorbed, felt Theresa's slightly trembling body and involuntarily deepened the kiss.

“Theresa…” Chen Yuan called softly, his voice gentle as water, as if he were saying something he didn’t want to say directly. “There’s something I want to tell you.”

"What is it? Tell me quickly..." Sensing that Chen Yuan had stopped, Theresa shifted her body uneasily. "Hurry up, don't keep me in suspense..."

"It's about Fu Hua..." Chen Yuan sighed, gritted his teeth, and told Theresa what had happened with Fu Hua that night.

Just like when I called Cocolia last time, Chenyuan could choose to keep it a secret, but this is not a problem that can be avoided.

"You..." After a while, Theresa looked at Chen Yuan with a complicated expression. Seeing the latter's self-reproachful eyes, she couldn't help but soften and swallowed back the words of complaint she originally wanted to say.

"It's alright. I expected this day to come, but I didn't expect it to be Fu Hua, that good girl."

Thinking of this, Theresa sighed. She hadn't expected Fu Hua, with her thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be just like her, and even bolder. She herself had been drugged back then…
