"H...Hello."

Xiao Xiao disembarked the car and briskly caught up to Bunny Cao as she greeted with an overcautious expression. She was always dignified but against this same-aged girl, she could not help but feel hesitant. She felt powerless trying to chase after the girl but the girl also made her fighting spirit soar.

Bunny Cao turned her head over and took a bite on the meat bun in her hand. As she chewed, she frowned as if trying to recall. After blinking her eyes, she mumbled, "Xiao...Xiao...Xiao..."

Although 'Xiao Xiao' and her surname 'Xiao' repeated twice was pronounced the same, one could tell from Bunny Cao's expression that all she remembered was Xiao Xiao's surname. She had forgotten Xiao Xiao's first name.

"Xiao Xiao, the second Xiao has an additional 'water' radical."

Xiao Xiao wasn't vexed as she replied with a smile.

She had heard some rumors of Bunny Cao and she knew that the girl was an oddity among oddities. It was normal for Bunny Cao to not remember her name.

Have you seen a bowl-cut girl skipping down a highway while wearing cotton clothes and a scarf on a hot summer day?

Have you seen a young girl dressed oddly in a long track pants beneath her short skirt?

Have you seen a big-boobed loli who eats meat buns all day? She eats so much that she would not forget to take a bite on her meat bun even during an intense battle during the finals?

That is Bunny Cao.

"I remember you," said Bunny Cao happily as her eyes lit up slightly while she suddenly pointed at Xiao Xiao.

Although she had said 'I remember you', her expression was clearly one of—Ah, I finally remember. You are...

Fine, even an opponent at the semi-finals can't make you remember?

Or is it because I'm too weak?

Xiao Xiao was slightly disheartened but she very quickly calmed herself down. She said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Bunny Cao was the only person who had not appeared during the expedition ceremony. Xiao Xiao had previously believed that Bunny Cao's lack of attendance was because something had cropped up urgently, but who knew that she was just skipping down a highway?

Bunny Cao took another bite at her meat bun and mumbled, "I was hungry and came out for lunch. I'm on the way back to Dragon...Dragon...Dragon..."

Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded

You had eaten five large meat buns during the finals and you are still eating one now. Why are you so hungry?

Did you run all the way to Beijing Third Ring Road in order to eat lunch? This place is more than ten kilometers away from Dragon Summer Stadium. Furthermore, there aren't any restaurants on the highway?

Also, at least remember the name, Dragon Summer Stadium, or else, how are you returning!?

Forget it. There are too many things to complain about. I don't even know where to even begin.

Xiao Xiao suddenly recalled of rumors that Bunny Cao, who had a poor sense of direction, would frequently get lost in school but she would still often take long trips. Who knew that the rumor was true!

Did true geniuses all have such a 'personality'?

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth twitched but she tried her best to maintain a natural smile. She said, "The expedition ceremony has just ended. Everyone at Dragon Summer Stadium has already left."

"So fast?"

Bunny Cao was slightly dumbfounded as she quickly stuffed the remaining tiny piece of meat bun into her mouth. Immediately following that, her tiny hand extended upwards as a six-pointed star runic formation bloomed from her palm. An instant later, a hot piping meat bun appeared out of thin air and fell into her hand.

Bunny Cao swallowed the food in her mouth and began to delightfully take a nibble at the meat bun. All of this happened in a blink of an eye as she mumbled, "It ended just as I went to have a meal?"

Xiao Xiao gave a helpless smile. You ran more than ten kilometers away to have a meal and ate for more than an hour before returning.

Not only do you lack a sense of direction, you also lack a sense of time.

Furthermore, didn't you just eat a meal? Why are you consuming one meat bun after another?

Also, to use such high-grade spatial magic to 'steal' meat buns for eating. Is that really appropriate?

Sigh. This won't do. I can't complain anymore or I'll become weird as well.

Xiao Xiao felt that the invincible image she had of Bunny Cao was crumbling. She tried her best to maintain her smile as she said, "It has been more than an hour since the finals ended. The expedition ceremony was held for half an hour. However, nothing important was announced. We will be informed of the actual time of the collective training after the organization faction finishes their selection."

"Oh, that's good."

Bunny Cao took another bite at the meat bun. She ate her meat buns one bite after another. Although each bite was a tiny nibble, she was extremely fast. She probably ate much faster than a grown man.

Furthermore, after finishing one bun, she would immediately use spatial magic to 'steal' another. How many meat buns would she eat a day?

Xiao Xiao could not help but steal a glance at Bunny Cao's belly. Although her ample breasts propped her top high up, it was still possible to tell that the girl's belly was rather flat. Her waist was extremely thin and slender.

On another careful look, she immediately realized that Bunny Cao's figure was excellent. It could be said to be petite and exquisite. She was about 1.6 meters tall and she wasn't considered too tall or short. Other than the two big bunnies on her chest that were visually estimated at 36E, every other part looked slender. Her arms were willowy and her buttocks were perky. Her legs were long and upright. She was not overly meaty or overly slim. Her proportions were excellent.

Furthermore, Bunny Cao's skin was exceptional. Redness suffused from her fair skin which resembled a baby's. It was as though its moisture could be squeezed out with a pinch.

Xiao Xiao sized up Bunny Cao and the more she looked, the more envious she became of Bunny Cao's figure. Although her figure wasn't bad, it was quite incomparable to Bunny Cao's, especially that bust size...

Eh?

That's not right. This wasn't the main point!

Xiao Xiao jolted awake as she hurriedly gathered her rampant thoughts that had displaced themselves.

The important point was Bunny Cao looked petite and cute, so her stomach was definitely tiny as well. How could she eat so many meat buns?

Xiao Xiao was baffled but she did not know how to make an appropriate inquiry. After all, she was not familiar with Bunny Cao.

At that moment, the meat bun in Bunny Cao's hand was more than half gone. Noticing how Xiao Xiao had remained silent for such a long period of time, she finally took the initiative to say, "Then I'll be going back."

"Going back?"

Xiao Xiao faltered for a moment before immediately asking, "Going back to where?"

Bunny Cao chewed on her meat bun and fell into a slight daze. Suddenly, her mouth pouted slightly as she frowned. Her expression was rather cute. After thinking for a long time, she finally blurted out, "See-something hotel?"

Xiao Xiao said in astonishment, "Caesar Grand Hotel?

"Right!"

The distressed look on Bunny Cao's face immediately vanished as she took another bite on her meat bun. Beaming, she said, "Caesar Grand Hotel. I'm going back. My dad is waiting for me."

After Bunny Cao said those words, she waved her hands in a cute 'bye bye' gesture before turning around to leave.

Xiao Xiao hurriedly shouted, "Hold on! Are you planning on walking back?"

Caesar Grand Hotel was one of the most famous hotels in Beijing. Therefore, Xiao Xiao knew that Bunny Cao was referring to Caesar Grand Hotel immediately. However, she recalled that the distance from where they were to the nearest Caesar Grand Hotel branch was dozens of kilometers away. And from the looks of it, Bunny Cao was planning on skipping her way back on the highway?

Indeed, Bunny Cao stopped and turned sideways and nodded as though it was for granted. She said, "Yeah."

Xiao Xiao fell silent.

Was she planning to really walk dozens of kilometers?

And more importantly, Bunny Cao couldn't even remember the name Caesar Grand Hotel. Could she really walk all the way back herself?

Heavens, how is her dad not worried about leaving her to frolic outside?

Xiao Xiao was a kind lady so she naturally could not turn a blind eye to this. She turned around and pointed to her private car that wasn't that far away. She said, "That's my car. Shall we give you a lift?"

As Xiao Xiao said that, she turned around once again but she was astounded to realize that Bunny Cao had vanished. Other than the cars that were shuttling incessantly past her, there was nothing.

Eh?

Eh!

Where is Bunny Cao!?

Xiao Xiao was alarmed as she hurriedly surveyed her surroundings. The straight highway allowed her to see kilometers into the distance and there were no other forks in the road. She had only turned around for a second or two, so how could she vanish from her line of sight?

Xiao Xiao spent a few moments searching and even shouted a few times. The people in the cars that passed her gave her a strange look. If not for her beauty, they would probably think of her as a crazy woman or a fool.

Xiao Xiao returned to the car with a flushed face. She knew that the direction in which Bunny Cao was skipping towards was at least right, so she hoped that no mishap would happen during that period of time.

However, with Bunny Cao's personality and ability to live carefreely to this point in time, it was unlikely for her to suffer any mishap, right?

Xiao Xiao could only forcefully repress the worry in her heart. She got her old steward to drive the car away. It is dangerous stopping a car on a highway, so kids, don't try this at home!

The private car continued cruising down the highway as a cool breeze entered through the open window. It ruffled the girl's peach-colored long hair but Xiao Xiao's mind was no longer the same as before. The lonely feelings that came from the realization that there was an unbridgeable gap between her and Bunny Cao were wiped clean.

She wasn't envious or jealous of Bunny Cao, to begin with. She only felt that despite putting in her best efforts, Bunny Cao was still able to handle her easily. Therefore, she had felt disheartened from feeling weak.

But now, she realized that Bunny Cao was a wondrous oddity. Some of her negative emotions immediately vanished and replacing them was an intensely burning fighting spirit. It wanted to chase up to Bunny Cao!

Some geniuses were irritating to others because although they were extremely talented, they thought very highly of themselves and disparaged others.

But there were some geniuses who were extremely 'cute'. They were so cute that they attracted people with the wish to chase up to them. They would become one's target to strive for.

Bunny Cao was like that.

Shi Xiaobai was also like that.

Xiao Xiao could not help but recall the experiences she had in the virtual world once again. Back then, she felt that the little pervert that called himself 'This King' was an unpolished genius that would eventually glow.

However, she never expected that in a short period of time, through the collective training selection, not only did he glow, he had turned so radiant that he blinded the 'titanium dog eyes' of several 'geniuses'.

When she thought of that, a faint smile involuntarily suffused on the corner of her lips. She took out her cellphone and adeptly opened a web page and entered a discussion forum named 'Shi Xiaobai Bar'.

About a month ago, a member nicknamed 'WhyArePointsNeededForLeveling' had set up the board but it did not gain much attention. Only when Shi Xiaobai suddenly turned viral not long ago did a huge batch of fans surge in. And today, the number of people following the board was no longer small in number. Although it was still far from celebrity heroes, the number of forum fans was closely behind same-aged geniuses like Speechless Li and Bunny Cao, who had made a glorious name for themselves at a young age. It could be deemed as him being a phenomenal rookie that had his popularity suddenly surge.

Xiao Xiao flipped through a few threads to check on Shi Xiaobai's latest ongoings. The little pervert had been in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower's seventh level for more than ten days. Many people were closely watching it. They were curious to know if Shi Xiaobai, whose conquering of the eight Level Lords being an unprecedented shocking matter, would be able to become the fourth trial-taker in history to reach the eighth level.

But unfortunately, after flipping through a few pages, she did not find any relevant news. There were many threads with 'fabricated stories'. They fabricated 'fake experiences' of Shi Xiaobai. Some were written very realistically but Xiao Xiao, who knew Shi Xiaobai's character, only smiled inwardly.

However, she did not respond to expose them. In fact, she only browsed through the forum as a lurker. She never posted nor replied. She could not understand the mindsets of the flamers on the board and found them uninteresting.

Xiao Xiao put down her cell phone and began thinking about how she should greet him when she met him again at the collective training. She wondered if the little pervert still remembered her.

Xiao Xiao began rummaging through her thoughts as she looked at the scenery outside the window.

Suddenly, Xiao Xiao widened her eyes.

"Stop the car! Quick, stop the car!"

Heavens! What did she see?

There was a bowl-cut big-boobed loli skipping down the highway!

Heavens, isn't this direction completely opposite from Caesar Grand Hotel?

Eh, that's not right?

Why would Bunny Cao appear in front of them? IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said "", but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
