Four Split Personalities

Motan hurriedly jumped to the side, holding Gu Xiao Le’s shoulders to make her sit up straight, and said helplessly: "Sister Xiao Le, as long as you know it’s dangerous, that’s enough. Honestly, even if you don’t run a red light, if you accidentally hit a pedestrian... you know, even if the other party doesn’t follow traffic rules, the one responsible must be the motor vehicle..."

"I’m not listening, not listening, not listening!"

Gu Xiao Le actually covered her ears and shook her head vigorously, shouting: "You can stop as soon as you start worrying about my safety!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Motan thought Sister Xiao Le was impatient and nodded obediently, then opened the car door for her, while he went to the passenger seat: "Let’s head out then. If they’ve already contacted us, the paperwork should be finished quickly."

"It’s okay if we’re a bit late. I promised Yi Dong I’d have breakfast with you tomorrow."

Gu Xiao Le waved her hand with a smile, and then saw Motan stumble and almost fall headfirst onto the ground.

"What?"

Motan’s voice was somewhat distorted, and at the same time, he felt a murderous intent towards his friend.

"Just kidding, I told him I’d treat you to lunch."

Gu Xiao Le playfully stuck out her tongue, then as if to reassure Motan, she said: "By the way, Tan Jiang, you can actually drive, I quite like being in the passenger seat."

Motan shook his head and opened the car door on his side: "I don’t have a driver’s license."

Gu Xiao Le seemed shocked, her eyes widened, asking: "No driver’s license? Are you serious?"

"Yup, the money on my transit card is almost as much as my savings."

Motan laughed and nodded, indirectly telling Gu Xiao Le one of the reasons why he hadn’t gotten a license yet.

And the other reason he didn’t finish saying was that he couldn’t imagine how bad things might turn out if he were to transform into a ’Chaotic Neutral’ personality sitting in the driver’s seat.

"Actually, I think Yi Dong could completely support you, he’d definitely be happy to do that."

Gu Xiao Le got into the driver’s seat, fastened her seatbelt properly, and leaned over to buckle Motan’s seatbelt from the other side, laughing mischievously: "Or you could consider me, get me to support you or something."

Motan shrugged, chuckled: "If I ever get so poor that I can’t find food, I’ll consider it."

"Yi Dong? Or me?"

"..."

"Haha, just joking."

Gu Xiao Le winked, then suddenly stomped on the gas——

"Sister Xiao Le!!!"

Motan screamed, nearly smashing his face against the windshield.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I couldn’t help myself."

Gu Xiao Le immediately reduced the speed, shrunk her neck and grinned apologetically: "You know, sports cars go with beauties."

[Yeah... sports car, I almost thought you were flying a plane just now...]

Motan complained inwardly, only relaxing after seeing Gu Xiao Le truly calm down.

For the next stretch of the journey, Motan basically didn’t speak much, instead listening to Gu Xiao Le’s incessant muttering complaints.

"Look at Uncle’s company! Without even evading taxes, he can buy Yi Dong that brat a ride like this! Then look at my family, what they earn in a year isn’t even as much as Uncle earns in a month!"

"Tan Jiang, you wouldn’t believe it, Auntie’s pocket money every year when she goes back home matches my tuition for two years! Two years!"

"Running a toy factory is awesome, parents’ money is really easy to earn nowadays, but I always thought there should be a crane attached to Optimus Prime’s crotch. Autobots, you know, excavators are vehicles too, isn’t it feasible to link them?"

"Sigh, Tan Jiang, I’m supposed to be a lady from a prestigious family, right? From a noble lineage? Why am I doing so poorly, Yi Dong said he never worked a day in his life, really pisses me off. If it weren’t for me drawing comics, the pocket money my parents give would have left me starving in the lab!"

Indeed, Gu Xiao Le was clearly unhappy with her father’s lack of effort, especially when compared to the wealth Yi Dong’s father was making, which left her even more upset.

"Uh..."

Motan awkwardly scratched his cheek, curiously asked: "By the way, what does Sister Xiao Le’s family do?"

"Onmyoji."

Gu Xiao Le pouted, then added: "Before the Meiji Restoration, they were Onmyoji, able to make money blatantly bluffing officials, but not anymore... now my family runs a shrine, it’s quite large in scale, but not very profitable."

Motan uttered an ’Oh’, finally understanding why Gu Xiao Le added a ’Great Yin-Yang Master’ prefix for himself in The Realm of Innocence.

Soon, Gu Xiao Le was driving Yi Dong’s (whose tires seemed slightly worn) beloved car into Tanhua University’s underground parking lot, then strolled back to the surface with Motan.

Since Yi Dong’s car had been authorized at school, they weren’t obstructed and didn’t need to pay parking fees, the entry was quite smooth.

Only...

"Cough, Sister Xiao Le."

Standing about fifty meters from the exit of Tanhua University’s underground parking lot, next to a landscape tree near the north playground, Motan awkwardly cleared his throat, smiled wryly: "Actually..."

"You don’t know the way, right? Yi Dong mentioned it to me."

Before setting out, she had sent an ’Inugami’ ahead, now having fully familiarized herself with Tanhua’s layout, Gu Xiao Le cheerfully patted Motan, smiled: "No worries, no worries, I know the way."

Motan twitched his mouth, although he didn’t say it aloud, his expression clearly conveyed the thought ’If you know the way, why need company?’

"I’m not familiar with the teachers and such."

Gu Xiao Le scrunched her nose, pouted: "Besides, Tan Jiang, even if you don’t know the way, you could introduce me, right? Geesh, Yi Dong and you, both so unwilling to hang out with me!"

"No, no, no."

Motan hastily shook his head, following Gu Xiao Le’s lead as they headed towards the main building.

...

Tanhua University’s summer break is as long as that of ordinary public schools, but for students who want to come back early, they can return starting August 10th. Given the fantastic environment here, and many parents growing increasingly dissatisfied with their children’s laziness during the holidays after the novelty wears off, so...

Drive thirty times, banish them to another courtyard.

↑That’s essentially the meaning.

To summarize, there are plenty of students on campus now, additionally, as some elderly folks become more dissatisfied with their offspring’s laziness during holidays after the novelty wears off, many young teachers are back on campus, living in a lethargic pattern of three days fishing, two days basking.

"It’s bustling, this is Uncle’s alma mater!"

Gu Xiao Le happily hopped along beside Motan, actively looking around, exclaimed: "Our school’s atmosphere is much heavier, tut-tut, kind of envious!"

Motan chuckled: "Didn’t you just complain reluctantly before?"

"Because no matter how great the atmosphere, going to school can’t beat staying at home lazing around."

Gu Xiao Le pouted, suddenly curiously observing the passing students, and after a minute, asked Motan in a low voice: "Tan Jiang, Tan Jiang! Why do they keep looking our way? Are you a celebrity?"

Motan twitched his mouth, shaking his head: "No."

"Then why?"

Gu Xiao Le curiously blinked, then suddenly squealed ’meow’ and leapt to Motan’s other side, whispering: "Just now, some boys seemed to be waiting for me!"

Motan sighed, helplessly said: "You’re overthinking, they’re glaring at me..."

"What? Why? Is Tan Jiang not very well-liked?"

"No, I reckon they don’t know me..."

"Then why is that?"

"I think they keep looking this way because Sister Xiao Le, you’re really pretty."

"Eee, then why are they glaring at you? Could they be jealous?"

"Maybe they’re jealous."

"Huh? Are you saying we have a couple vibe?"

"No, not at all."

"Then why is that?"

"Because..."

Motan didn’t finish speaking, as a familiar light hum sounded not far behind him, he quickly turned to look.

"Couple outfits look nice, Motan classmate."

Ji Xiaodao coldly looked at her with folded arms, standing beside her was her twin sister wearing a baseball cap, making faces at Motan.
