Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

Class 1, Year 1.

Early in the morning, Xiao Xiao bought breakfast and brought it to Qian Ran.

Because Qian Ran had picked up a bad habit from his previous life on Earth — he loved sleeping in — he never had time to stand in line for breakfast. In fact, he rarely ate breakfast back then. On weekends, he wouldn't get up until eleven, play a few rounds of games in bed until noon, and by the time he was washed up, it was almost lunchtime.

Wang Donger, on the other hand, got up early every day. Each morning, after breaking free from Qian Ran's embrace and freshening up, she would try to drag him to breakfast. But alas, she could never wake him up.

However, Qian Ran never missed a class.

Xiao Xiao knew he wasn't fond of breakfast, so she always bought an extra portion and brought it to the classroom. Even though Wang Donger felt a bit jealous, there wasn't much she could do.

After all, she was currently posing as a "boy."

Xiao Xiao leaned on the desk, watching Qian Ran eat the breakfast she had brought with a look of pure happiness in her eyes.

Xiao Xiao sat to his left, while Wang Donger sat to his right, making Qian Ran feel rather pleased with himself.

"This is delicious."

Qian Ran ate a meat bun in one hand, holding a cup of soy milk in the other. It reminded him of his school days back on Earth. The bun was tasty, the soy milk was delicious, but he wondered how Xiao Xiao would taste.

Xiao Xiao was so adorable that he couldn't help but feel attached to her.

She was just too cute!

Not only was she adorable, but even her actions were so lovable.

Every time he ate the breakfast she brought, he would finish every bite. After all, this was Xiao Xiao's heartfelt breakfast, made with love.

"Isn't the food itself delicious?" Wang Donger pinched Qian Ran's waist discreetly. She was jealous, as Qian Ran enjoyed Xiao Xiao's breakfast every day like a couple would. In public, she could only pretend to be his "brother."

Both Xiao Xiao and Qian Ran were dressed in Shrek Academy's new student uniforms — he looked handsome and dashing, while she looked sweet and cute. Xiao Xiao dressed up nicely every day. Though she looked far from a mature woman, her petite frame was endearing to Qian Ran. Who wouldn't like a cute and obedient girl like her?

Qian Ran especially loved seeing Xiao Xiao's smile, sweet with little dimples. She was just so cute.

In class, everyone had pretty much assumed that Qian Ran and Xiao Xiao were a couple. The sight of Xiao Xiao bringing breakfast to him every day left a lot of the boys envious.

If only they had such a gentle girlfriend… though, wait… they didn't even have girlfriends.

How tragic!

Even the girls in class were envious of Xiao Xiao. If they could, they would have gladly taken her place.

"Hm? Of course, the food is delicious. What else could it be? Right, Xiao Xiao?" Qian Ran smiled as he looked at Xiao Xiao.

"Mhm." Xiao Xiao blushed, her cheeks red like apples.

She remembered Qian Ran once joked that she herself was delicious.

Was Qian Ran teasing her again? Xiao Xiao looked adorably dumbfounded.

"Hmph." Wang Donger turned her head away, not wanting to watch them flirt.

This guy, Qian Ran — he would act all lovey-dovey with Xiao Xiao during the day, and then hold her at night.

Ugh, he's such a jerk!

Although nothing beyond cuddling had happened, they still hugged each other to sleep every night. She really only let him cuddle without going too far.

He didn't dare; if Tang San himself ever descended in wrath, it would be him who suffered.

Now, only Gu Yue Na could stand up to Tang San, though she held back due to the other gods in the divine realm.

"Qian Ran, umm, there's something I want to tell you." Xiao Xiao's face turned red as she mumbled softly, her voice almost inaudible. However, Qian Ran's whole body stiffened when he heard her.

Could Xiao Xiao be about to confess?

Truthfully, over these past days, he'd grown to genuinely like this shy, bashful girl who was brave enough to show her love for him. Even if it wasn't for her cute looks, he wouldn't want to hurt her feelings. And Xiao Xiao was so sweet and adorable that he couldn't help but like her.

If Wang Donger hadn't been sitting beside him, he'd have shown his affection to Xiao Xiao already.

Every time he tried to reach out to Xiao Xiao, Wang Donger would pinch him fiercely. What could he do?

His daily routine now included eating Xiao Xiao's breakfast in class, training on the field with the Body Refinement Technique, dragging Tang Ya to a hotel to chat about life during breaks, and then cuddling with Donger in the dorm at night. On top of all this, he was squeezing in time to study the God Control Art.

He really… Qian Ran himself felt like he was a model of hard work.

He had truly mastered time management!

Qian Ran felt like twenty-four hours in a day simply weren't enough.

Spending time with Xiao Xiao and Donger was manageable, but he could only meet Tang Ya during the day.

Once classes ended in the evening, Wang Donger would guard him closely, not letting him meet Tang Ya. So, he had no choice but to meet Tang Ya during the day. Spending time with her allowed him to enter a zen-like state, which helped him control himself when he cuddled with Donger at night.

"Xiao Xiao, go ahead." Qian Ran took a deep breath.

Qian Ran noticed that Wang Donger was leaning closer to him. She was even more nervous than he was. Should she urge him to reject Xiao Xiao? But Xiao Xiao was a wonderful girl, and if he turned her down, she'd be hurt, and he might also resent her for it.

Wang Donger understood how much courage it took for a shy girl like Xiao Xiao to bring him breakfast every day. She had grown fond of Xiao Xiao's gentleness and kindness. Why should such a sweet girl be hurt?

"Darn it, it's all Qian Ran's fault! If he weren't so fickle, Xiao Xiao wouldn't have fallen for him, and none of this would be happening." Although jealous, Wang Donger didn't interfere.

Oh well, they were in the same class. She'd just consider Xiao Xiao another sister.

Having gotten used to Qian Ran's playboy ways, Wang Donger quickly accepted Xiao Xiao's presence.

"Um, Qian Ran… what do you think of me?" Xiao Xiao had intended to ask if he liked her, but her shyness made her change her words at the last second.

"I think Xiao Xiao is wonderful. Very cute, very kind, and so thoughtful to bring me breakfast." Naturally, Qian Ran was very fond of this adorable girl.

"Only cute?" Xiao Xiao's face fell slightly. In her mind, Qian Ran calling her "cute" felt like a rejection, as she knew most boys preferred "sexy" girls. To her, cuteness didn't seem related to attraction.

Her eyes filled with disappointment, and she looked like she was about to cry.

It was only now that she realized why Qian Ran hadn't responded to her hints of affection. Could it be he didn't actually like her?

Shy girls tended to keep their feelings bottled up, which didn't help matters.

"You silly girl. 'Cute' means 'I like you' in my eyes. Because I like cute girls." Noticing Xiao Xiao's misunderstanding, Qian Ran added.
