"You!" Jia Ne was enraged because he stole her belonging. She tried to get it back but Ji Chen have better and swift reflexes that her. Talk about gender inequality. She was getting pissed as time was ticking slowly.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at her. That kind of gaze was so bone chilling that it made her stop whatever she was trying to do. He sized her appearance up close and thought that this crazy woman seemed extremely familiar.

He looked directly into her eyes and said expressionlessly." Were you perhaps, playing F.L.A.M.E.S. a while ago?"

Her eyes widened in shock and suddenly lowered her head. Ji Chen felt her uneasiness and was convinced that this crazy witch took a fancy on him. He knew it! He's right all along nobody can resist his charm.

He was about to open his mouth to tell her that her efforts will be in vain but halted midway when he heard a soft and serene voice.

"W-what's F.L.A.M.E.S.?" She paused and her eyes widened even more.

"Was it a top-secret word that not everyone knew about? I can't really find out what it stands for but from the looks of it, I bet it's definitely something awesome," she added and blinked multiple times as if she had undergone enlightenment. Obviously, her ignorance is a good thing for Ji Chen who almost choked on his own saliva due to panic. He heaved a sigh of relief as the coast was clear and silently laid out her little notebook on her desk.

Seeing his actions, she frowned and stared at him again. Even though she cast a skeptical eye on him, Ji Chen remained unperturbed as if no one is sitting beside him at all. He then made some slight movements and returned to his deep slumber. It appears that he needs more energy than he normally required to survive his daily living from now on.

Jia Ne felt dejected but she did not let him bother her. She directed her glance at the board and her mind seems to wander somewhere thinking about what to do to enjoy her days of being an ordinary person.

Another hour passed and with the seemingly endless lecture the teacher held, she felt sluggish. Given that the teachers were not bothered by Ji Chen's behavior at all like sleeping openly in class she followed his lead and slept.

Seeing the duo's activities at the very nook of the room, the teacher shook his head and sighed. It simply gives the impression that the school accepted a female version of Ji Chen this time around. The teacher felt pity. What a great loss of an opportunity for those who needed it.

Hours passed and it was finally time for the class to be dismissed. Knowing that it is time for him to obtain his freedom, Ji Chen abruptly open his eyes from his deep slumber. Once he woke up, his eyes immediately came across the face of a sleeping girl facing him.

Still in a daze, he forgot that he got himself a new seatmate a few hours ago. He quickly scanned her facial features and realized that she was drooling. Looking at her face intently, the girl's eyes opened in a flash that totally caught Ji Chen off guard that made his entire body shudder. He wanted to explain to her that he was merely checking whether she was still alive or not when the pressure emitted by those watchful eyes of hers hindered his words to escape from his mouth.

She straightened herself up and fixed her hair before packing her things to leave.

After that wicked witch left, Ji Chen hurriedly dashed home as fast as lightning and logged in to his account to vent out all of his frustrations that he accumulated the entire day.

Awesome Chen: F*ck!!!! F*ck!!! F*ck!!!!

Coming across the deeply enraged Ji Chen online, the other four remained quiet for some time and waited till Ji Chen finishes his chat bombardment.

Once the coast was clear, Xtremenator took the initiative to ask what happened to their boss.

Awesome Chen: I think I met the fly at school today.

Reading this reply, everyone gasped in astonishment.

PK Master: Really? What happened afterwards?

Awesome Chen: Blah Blah Blah Blah.....

He explained the entirety of his day as well as his nightmare he had last night and so on. Listening to his gibberish, they were struggling so hard not to laugh. Given that this was a difficult task, they decided not to dwell on this conversation too much and threw consoling and perfunctory answers to Ji Chen.

This is a very rare experience to them for their boss talked non-stop openly. So aside from throwing in some replies to simmer down his mood, they were also taking screenshots of the entire conversation to blackmail their boss in the future or make fun of him.

By the time Ji Chen's frustration died down, Xtremenator threw in a very crucial question.

"Since you said it yourself that this new classmate of yours is extremely familiar but you do not know her at all, how come you were able to link her identity to that stinky fly that sticks out with the t-word that LT spoke of?"

The other three wiped the trickling sweat running down their skin as they were gnawing their lower lip and asking why did Xtremenator have to mention the incident that happened last night. He's too inconsiderate and heartless. Poor boss, having to undergo that nightmare.
