"Let’s go to them," Woodz suggested as they watched four taxis stop by, but Luna and Grumpy still hadn’t managed to get a ride. "Exactly, if we keep waiting for them to finish, we’ll be here until morning," Haoxuan added.

Their car approached slowly, and as soon as Yibo recognized Woodz’s vehicle, he shot them a glare even before they stepped out.

"Won’t you ever stop bothering me, lunatic?" Grumpy asked, clearly irritated. Luna just smiled at him. When Yibo saw Woodz and Jiyang getting out of the car, he shook off Luna's grip without a word and snatched the keys from Woodz’s hand.

"This time, he's really furious. Why did you leave them behind?" Jiyang asked, staring at the car as it slowly disappeared from view. Once Luna recovered from the shock, he turned to their friends. "Since you left us behind, it’s our turn to leave you," Luna said, grabbing the keys from Haoxuan. Without another word, he started the car and drove off, leaving the four of them standing there, watching as the car faded into the distance.

"We’re the ones left behind now," Jili remarked, hailing a taxi heading their way.

When Grumpy arrived outside the school, Luna's car pulled up behind him. He got out and called out to Grumpy.

"Husband!" He called out to Yibo. "Please, just one hour without seeing him would be nice, he's so annoying," Yibo muttered, looking at Luna as he approached. When he got close to Yibo's car, he knocked on the window.

"Grumpy husband, let's go in together," he said. Grumpy slowly rolled down the car window and glared at Luna.

"Can you please just leave me alone for a moment? Your face is irritating," Yibo snapped angrily. "You were clinging to me this morning..." Before he could finish his sentence, Yibo rolled up the window and started the car.

Grumpy honked for the guard to open the gate, but the guard said he couldn't enter because he was late. Grumpy rolled down the window again, and without hesitation, the guard opened the gate. "Don't let that guy in," Yibo said as he drove into the campus.

Luna stood there in a daze, watching Yibo's car drive away. Once he realized he had entered the campus, he rushed back to the car but stopped when he heard their friends' voices.

"Zhan, where's Yibo?" they asked, only seeing Luna outside. "He went in already, I'll catch up to him," he said and got into the car. When he reached the gate, he honked, but the guard acted as if he didn't hear him, so he rolled down the car window. "Are you deaf? Why won't you open the gate? You know I'm going in," he snapped. The guard lowered his head.

"Sir, the rule is that if you're late, no vehicles are allowed to enter," the guard explained. Zhan got out of the car. "What about the one who just entered? He was late too, why did you let him in? Do you know who I am?" Luna said, ready to argue, but Jili pulled her back.

"Don't force it, you know we're not allowed to enter if we're late," Haoxuan said.

Woodz and Jiyang exchanged glances. "What do you mean 'not allowed'? How did my husband get in? We were right behind each other," Luna questioned, looking at them. No one responded. "Fine, if they won't let me in through the gate, I'll climb the wall," Luna said with a grin, looking at his friends as if asking who wanted to join him. They all avoided his gaze.

"If you don't want to come, we might as well end this friendship," he said, turning away with a hidden smile as he felt them follow him. "So, you were going to come with me all along, stop acting," Zhan said as they headed toward the wall. "I'll go in first," he said, throwing his bag over the wall.

The wall was high, so he needed to stand on Haoxuan's shoulders to reach the top. "Xiao Zhan, stop eating so much, you're heavy," Haoxuan complained, while the other three helped steady him. They couldn't help but laugh when Zhan, already on top of the wall, lost his balance and fell.

Before he could get up, the Dean angrily approached him, while Haoxuan and woodz was on top of the wall, reaching out to help Jiyang and Jili.

"You five, first thing in the morning, and you're already causing trouble. Come with me to my office," the Dean said. They looked at each other but couldn't stop laughing at Zhan's dirt-covered face.

"What are you laughing at?" the Dean asked angrily. Zhan shot them a glare. "Grumpy, this is all your fault, and I’ll make sure you pay for it," Zhan whispered, pulling his friends along as they tried to suppress their laughter while following the Dean.

Inside the room in Section A, Yibo watched them. "You deserve this, at least you'll be out of my sight for a while," he muttered.

"Okay class, since your adviser just gave birth, I'll be your adviser from now on," Xuan Lu said. "Since you all know each other, I’ll just introduce myself," Xuan Lu added, writing his name on the blackboard.

Meanwhile, in the Dean's office, they were getting a scolding. "You're not new to this school, so you should know the rules by now," the Dean said, seated at his desk.

"We wouldn't have climbed the wall if the guard was fair," Luna said arrogantly. The Dean looked at him. "Because of what you did, you’ll all be punished," he said. They all looked at the Dean. "For five days, you'll clean the entire campus," the Dean announced, their eyes widening.

"Five days? Are you joking? Do you think this school is small?" Luna asked in disbelief. "Every rule violation has consequences. Or would you prefer five days of suspension?" the Dean replied, raising an eyebrow.

Luna crossed his arms. "Why don't you order us to clean your house too? don't be shy" His friends elbowed him. "Okay ma'am, we’ll do it," Jiyang said. Luna glared at him. "Grumpy husband!" Zhan grumbled as they left the Dean's office.

"Oh, by the way, which section is my husband in?" Luna asked Jiyang. "Still calling him 'husband' even when you’re mad," Jiyang chuckled. "He’s in Section A, what about you guys?" Jili and Haoxuan exchanged glances. "Last" they said.

Teacher Lu paused when there was a knock at the door, and Yibo's eyes widened as he glanced toward it. But he quickly pretended that he hadn't seen anything. Zhan grinned.

"Excuse me, ma'am, may I borrow one of your students?" Luna asked politely, his eyes fixed on Yibo.

"Which student?" Xuan Lu asked calmly, while Yibo's classmates couldn't help but be curious. After all, Xiao Zhan was notorious for his antics at the school, and they wondered who might be close to him in the room. But they seemed to have an idea when they saw Jiyang and Woodz, Yibo's friends. Some of them even stifled a laugh at the sight of Zhan' dirt-covered face.

Before Luna could respond, Yibo stood up, knowing exactly what Zhan was planning. "Excuse me, ma'am," Yibo said, heading to the door and pulling Zhan along with him.

"Oh, is my husband afraid I'll tell your entire class that we're married?" Luna asked with a sly smile, but Yibo shot him a sharp look. "Look at you, you look like a fool," he said as he continued to drag Zhan away, not even sure where they were heading. They eventually arrived at the boys' restroom.

"Do you have any plans for me, husband, now that you've brought me here?" Luna asked in a teasing tone.

"If you don't stop talking, I'll put tape over your mouth," Yibo snapped angrily, pushing Zhan against the wall. "Why don't you kiss me?" He asked teasingly. "Are you really not going to leave me alone?" he asked, staring at Luna. Luna felt nervous, but he refused to show it. He didn't understand why, but he loved to annoy Grumpy, though whenever he fought back, it left him feeling unsettled.

"No, it's fun to see you get annoyed," Luna said. Grumpy smirked as he noticed Zhan's knees trembling. "Ah, so you're good at teasing, but when someone flirt you back, you get scared" Grumpy thought.

"Really?" Grumpy asked in a husky voice, moving his face closer to Zhan's. "What are you doing?" Zhan snapped, trying to push Yibo away. But instead of backing off, Yibo tightened his grip on Zhan's arm.

"I'm giving you what you want," Yibo said, and just before his lips could touch Zhan's, luna kicked him. "Pervert!" he yelled, shoving him away and running out of the restroom. Yibo winced in pain. "He just said that I should kiss him, but when I kiss him, he won't want it either. He's really lunatic" Yibo muttered, glaring at the door.

"Is he crazy?" Zhan fumed as he stormed out of the restroom.
