Li Yue was surprised for a moment when he saw that Bai Ling didn’t sit down, but then he actually felt a bit of appreciation.
In his eyes, Bai Ling’s behavior was a sign of respecting elders and caring for the young.
The reason he thought so was because when Li Yue said to offer a seat, he didn’t specify who should sit, just that someone should.
But at the time, he was indeed speaking to Yue Xin, so from his perspective, it was already a good show of manners for young people these days to act like this.
Li Yue smiled slightly, then looked at Bai Ling and said to Yue Xin, “This must be your daughter, right? She’s really pretty.
With looks like that, if her classmates saw her, who knows what might happen.” After saying that, Li Yue laughed heartily, acting like a completely shameless old man.
Yue Xin turned to glance at Bai Ling, her eyes full of gentle affection.
Then she noticed Bai Ling’s slightly flushed cheeks and immediately saw her embarrassment.
With a hint of playful reproach, she said to Li Yue, “Principal Li, don’t tease my Ling’er.
She’s already grown up, but you’re still as mischievous as ever!”
“Heh heh~” Li Yue chuckled.
Then he turned to Bai Ling and said, “Yeah, you’re a cute kid.
Go ahead and sit down.”
“Thank you, Principal Li!” Bai Ling gave a slight bow to show her gratitude, then sat down next to Yue Xin.
Seeing Bai Ling take her seat, Yue Xin finally spoke again, this time getting straight to the point.
“Principal Li, I brought Ling’er here today because I want her to train and gain some experience with you.
I hope you’ll agree.”
“Oh, that’s no problem.
If you want her to get some training, just leave her here with me.
It’s really no big deal.” Li Yue spoke casually, as if it was nothing important.
And to him, it really was a trivial matter.
“Thank you for your trouble, Principal Li.” Yue Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Yue agree to her request.
“It’s no trouble at all.” Li Yue quickly waved his hand.
But then he changed the subject with a bit of curiosity, “By the way, didn’t Bai Mo come with you guys?”
“Uh…” Hearing Li Yue say that, Yue Xin suddenly remembered that Bai Mo had come along too.
But then she realized she’d kind of forgotten about him.
Well, if he’s lost, he’s lost.
This is the academy—where could he possibly go?
“What’s wrong?” Li Yue saw the awkward look on Yue Xin’s face and got even more confused, so he asked again.
“He did come, but…” Yue Xin’s embarrassment only deepened.
She couldn’t exactly admit she’d lost track of him, right? That would be so humiliating—imagine going out and losing your own husband.
“But what?” Li Yue was getting more and more curious thanks to Yue Xin’s reaction.
You know what they say—curiosity killed the cat—so he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
This time, Yue Xin really couldn’t keep her composure, and her cheeks started to turn red.
Actually, Li Yue had already guessed most of it when he saw Yue Xin like this, since he knew her personality pretty well.
So he was just having fun now, ready to watch Yue Xin squirm.
But Yue Xin herself had no idea, and only Bai Ling, sitting to the side, noticed the teasing smile on Li Yue’s face.
Bai Ling immediately understood what was going on.
“Um… well…” Yue Xin stammered for a long time but couldn’t get a complete sentence out.
Bai Ling, sitting next to her, was actually enjoying seeing Yue Xin act so shy.
She rarely saw her mother show this kind of girlish side—usually, her mom gave off a domineering queen vibe.
So seeing her like this now was a rare treat, and Bai Ling couldn’t help but sneak a few more glances.
Seeing that Yue Xin was about to break down, Li Yue decided it was time to let her off the hook.
He cleared his throat and changed the subject, “Ahem, since you’re here, why don’t you take her for a tour around the academy?”
“Okay!” Yue Xin felt like she’d been granted amnesty and immediately agreed, then got ready to take Bai Ling’s hand and leave this “trouble spot.”
As soon as they left the principal’s office, Bai Ling couldn’t stop giggling behind her hand.
She hadn’t dared to laugh in front of others just now, but now that it was just her and Yue Xin, she had nothing to worry about.
Her laughter was truly beautiful—her big, bright eyes almost turned into two crescent moons.
With her flawless skin, her smile looked even more naturally lovely.
Yue Xin had no idea that Bai Ling was secretly laughing at her embarrassing moment just now as they walked along.
It wasn’t until they got downstairs and out the building, standing at the entrance, that Yue Xin turned to ask Bai Ling, “Where do you want to…” Before she could finish, she saw Bai Ling’s smiling face and froze for a second, but then she understood.
“Oh, so you dare to laugh at me? Let’s see how I deal with you.” With that, she lunged at Bai Ling.
Yue Xin came up behind Bai Ling, reached her hands around Bai Ling’s waist, and started tickling her belly.
Bai Ling was in a mix of pain and joy—she felt like it was impossible for a girl to resist being tickled, especially since she was so sensitive.
But she didn’t dare, or want, to fight back against Yue Xin, so she just suffered through it.
And as for Yue Xin’s figure—well, Bai Ling had inherited most of her genes from her, so Yue Xin’s ample chest was pressing and rubbing against Bai Ling’s back, separated only by a layer of clothing.
With how sensitive she was, Bai Ling could feel every bit of that softness on her back.
Meanwhile, back in the principal’s office.
Principal Li Yue was talking to a young woman in front of him.
If you listened closely, you could hear, “Zi Tong, the child from that mother-daughter pair who just went downstairs will be your student from now on.
You need to take good care of her.
She’s Bai Mo’s daughter, so I’m sure her magic talent won’t be bad.
I’m counting on you!” Li Yue spoke earnestly to the woman.
The woman named Zi Tong had long, wavy black hair that fell straight to her waist, and her eyes were like rubies, showing she was no ordinary person.
Her professional teacher’s outfit accentuated her curvy figure—she had all the right curves in all the right places, a real knockout.
Her long legs were wrapped in tight pants, making them look even more perfect—maybe only tight pants could show them off so well.
“She’s his daughter?” Zi Tong covered her bright red lips in surprise.
Of course she knew Bai Mo—he was the principal’s top “disciple,” and his many achievements were enough to make his name unforgettable.
Plus, the academy’s Ice Queen was also Bai Mo’s daughter, so this one probably wouldn’t be any less impressive.
The Ice Queen Zi Tong referred to was Bai Mo’s eldest daughter, Bai Ting.
In front of strangers, Bai Ting always gave off a “keep away” vibe, only showing her true feelings to people she knew well.
That’s why the students called her the Ice Queen.
On top of that, Bai Ting’s magic element was “ice,” a higher-level element evolved from water (some magic elements can evolve into higher forms, like ice from water).
So with both reasons, the title of Ice Queen really fit her.
“Yes, so I hope you won’t let her down!” Li Yue said with a smile.
“Understood, I won’t let you or him down.” Zi Tong replied seriously.
“Good, that’s what I like to hear.
Now go ahead—take your new student for a tour, or have her roommate show her around if you want.” Li Yue started ushering her out.
“Alright, I’ll go now.” Zi Tong said, then left the principal’s office, closing the door behind her.
