Lin Xinghe polished off the contents of the lunch box. The little girl ate slowly.
After eating, Lin Xinghe watched her with her head tilted.
It was the first time that Lin Xinghe saw such a creature, and she didn’t know if it could even be called a human being. Ordinary people wouldn’t have such pupils and mouths, and it was even more impossible for them to stick to the ceiling easily.
She wasn’t afraid, though. Before entering the examination room, she was mentally prepared. After entering this school, she began to think more openly when she discovered that there were xianxia and fantasy departments. All the students were villains, and in the novels of these two themes, most of the villains were non-humans.
After having this mental preparation, Lin Xinghe was even a little excited when she saw the little girl in front of him —she finally saw a non-human creature! Ah! So scary, hahahahahaha!
No matter how scary something is, she won’t be afraid! She was lucky! She would follow her instincts! They would save her from danger!
When Lin Xinghe was struck to death by lightning, she thought that her luck had run out. But when she was admitted to the villain school, she began to think that maybe her luck hadn’t run out after all. She received the villain’s role, but before the events of the story actually happened, she was struck by lightning and received a chance for redemption. When she returned to her original world, she could reverse the plot.
She felt the favor of Lao Tian Ye* again.
What Lin Xinghe was thinking, the audience in the live broadcast room naturally didn’t know.
From their perspective, they saw Lin Xinghe looking at the non-human creature in front of her and talking to it with a kind smile.
“Are your four mouths all decorations? Are the other ones unable to chew?”
The little girl paused then continued to eat.
Lin Xinghe added: “Let me tell you, don’t feel inferior because you have five mouths. The more alien you are in this society, the easier it is to stand out. I hear you eat with a sense of rhythm, and you may be able to form a five-man band in the future. When you get on stage, one person with five mouths—the audience will definitely like to watch it. Let’s make up a story with a tragic life experience. All the judges will cry for you! All the audience will call you!”
Little girl: ……
“What’s your name? Can you speak? You aren’t human, right? Are you a monster? Or are you the Snow Maiden? The island country next to us calls Snow Maidens Xue Ji.** If you don’t have a name, I’ll give you one. You came down from the snowy mountain and are a little girl, so Xiao Xue Ji? But it sounds a bit like primary school chicken…”***
Lin Xinghe was petite and delicate, and her voice was soft and smooth. However, what she said was a bit irritating. Before she could finish her words, Xiao Xue Ji stopped eating, opened her five mouths, leered angrily at her, and turned her pupils blood red.
Lin Xinghe: “… It seems that you can’t speak. Is it possible that you don’t know any human language? Or do you have the language of your race? Just say a few words and let me listen? Maybe I can communicate with you and help you.”
Xiao Xue Ji suddenly deflated like a popped balloon, banished her other four mouths, and reverted her pupils to a human shape and color. With jet-black hair and snow-white skin, she really looked like a cute dumpling.
Lin Xinghe’s heart melted when she saw it. Even if it was a monster, if it looked cute, then you wanted to pet it!
Lin Xinghe rubbed Xiao Xue Ji’s head fiercely.
Xiao Xue Ji turned around aggrievedly and went back to eating lunch.
After she finished eating, Lin Xinghe said thoughtfully, “I’ll help you do your hair. How about in braids? After you stick to the ceiling, your hair won’t block your head, okay?”
Xiao Xue Ji finally responded.
She shook her head vigorously.
Lin Xinghe said, “How about a high ponytail?”
Xiao Xue Ji shook her head.
Lin Xinghe: “Disney princess on the run hairstyle?”
Xiao Xue Ji shook her head.
When Lin Xinghe was an actress, she learned a lot of styling from her makeup staff and hairdressers. She was very skillful with her hands. If she had a head to do them on, she could make a variety of hairstyles. She patiently listed hairstyle after hairstyle with Xiao Xue Ji, and finally, ten minutes later, Xiao Xue Ji gave up the fight.
【Just entered the live broadcast room, can someone tell me what kind of exam room this is? Why has the examination room of the modern era department been flooded like this? Isn’t this a parent-child reality show? 】
【No, no, no, this is a terrifying examination room, but the candidate is so powerful that she turned the horror show into a parent-child paradise. 】
【Hahahahaha, I think the little monster is radiating “don’t touch me, I’m resisting” vibes, but it looks helpless. This candidate is a devil! 】
【It’s because this little monster is too weak, it can even be manipulated by a freshman of the modern era department.】
【Nah, those who just entered the livestream don’t understand, the little monster wants to attack the new student, but the new student is a European emperor and escapes every time! I don’t know if it’s strength or luck. 】
【I think everyone should go see the other candidates in this examination room. By comparison, you will know how lucky this anchor is. 】
** Island country refers to Japan or Korea. The romaji of the original words “Xue Ji“ is yukihime. There is also a Korean webtoon called Seol Hui that was adapted to a c-drama known by the same Chinese characters, which could also be what mc is referring to here.
*** The homophones of the Chinese characters that mean “Little Snow Maiden” also mean “Little School Chicken” or “Primary School Chicken”
