Chapter 339
[!! I slid in with a rock, grabbed a rose, showed my perfectly proportioned profile to Su Bao, and made a 'Hi' bubble sound]
[Did you get a tractor stuck in your throat?]
[Nothing much to do today, so I'm looking at this comic. I need Qin Su!]
[Shouldn't it be Sonoko's turn? (Habzumi. jpg) They're not even going to act anymore, are they?]
[How awful! May Buddha have mercy and give me poop (throws poop. jpg)]
[I can't argue with that, he's a true master!]
[I knew it! From now on, what should everyone here call me for successfully predicting 1King's arrival?]
[The Prophet? He's dead.]
[Digging a hole. jog]
[Buried in soil. jpg]
[A shamanistic ritual performed, with steps firmly planted. jpg]
[Scattering paper money. jpg]
[Laughing and rubbing my stomach] Let's see if you so-called prophets will still be so provocative next time!
'Qin Su!'
The surprise came without warning. Everyone felt the familiar chill that rushed towards them because of Qin Su's appearance. Their faces flashed with astonishment, but they quickly reacted and stood up. They habitually tensed up, ready to elbow the classmate next to them and push them away at any time. Even before they could take a step, they were already thinking about which route to take to get to Qin Su's side the fastest.
However...
(Class 6 worked like tigers, but before they could even unleash their spells, they heard Qin Su's cold voice interrupt their spellcasting.
"Don't move."
Having had extensive experience interacting with his classmates, Qin Su didn't even scan the room before making eye contact with them. Just a second ago, he caught sight of them all standing up, and the next second, he decisively stopped them from crowding around him. This saved him the trouble of having his carefully planned positioning disrupted, and also created the impression that his classmates were standing up to greet him, making him feel respected.
Everyone present except Qin Su seemed to be nailed to the spot, completely motionless.
Having successfully maintained his path, Qin Su stood still for only two seconds in the very center of the open doorway before immediately taking a step forward, weaving through the crowd in the sight of his classmates while controlling the speed at which the door behind him closed.
He Muzhi watched helplessly as Qin Su approached the main table where he was sitting, step by step. He thought about how he was now sitting in the seat that Qin Su had originally arranged for him. He wanted to move to the empty seat next to him, but then he remembered Qin Su's words telling them not to move. He was caught in a dilemma.
After calculations and six secret rehearsals, just as the door slowly closed completely, and the last ray of white light, slightly stronger than that of the banquet hall, was completely blocked by the tightly closed door, Qin Su pulled out the chair opposite He Muzhi and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Qin Su mentally gave himself a thumbs-up for his hard work and success in timing the event today. He maintained his expressionless face and, following the planned procedure, began scanning from the left...
He Muzhi: "..."
'Why did he choose the seat furthest from Qin Su when they were clearly at the same table?!'
The other students in Class 6, who had been staring intently at Qin Su all the way, naturally followed the direction Qin Su was walking and saw the distance between He Muzhi and Qin Su at this moment.
Some of the students from Class 6, who were seated at the same table as He Muzhi but were placed far from the first seat, had initially sighed inwardly because of their distance from He Muzhi. However, their expressions immediately changed, and they quickly withdrew the sigh they had just let out.
"!"
'Sure enough, you never know what good things might happen until the very last moment! Who said their positions were worse than those closer to the front? Their positions are so good, they're priceless!'
The group of people near He Muzhi watched with envy as the prestige of their seats plummeted due to Qin Su's appearance, their eyes filled with resentment as they glared at their classmate who had suddenly risen to prominence.
The others, who weren't even at the main table, kept their eyes glued to Qin Su while silently calculating their distance from him. Those who found themselves close to Qin Su felt secretly pleased, while those who were far away wished they could take his place.
'Ahhh, it's the Class Monitor! I've missed him so much Class Monitor's still so dazzling, handsome, and aloof today. He loves me! Otherwise, I can't explain why Class Monitor had to walk right past me instead of everyone else!'
What's the Class Monitor doing here? Could it be for me? Whatever, the Class Monitor didn't say. I have my own brain; I can speculate whatever I want. The Class Monitor is definitely here for me, no arguments!
'Hahaha, He Muzhi's finally met his match! Serves him right. So what if he wins? So what if he's president? The Class Monitor wouldn't even deign to sit in his position. I'm practically next to the Class Monitor, so it's no surprise he's on my side!'
'What kind of luck did those guys get behind my back to get so close to the Class Monitor? Don't they even know if they deserve it? I really want to kick, elbow, punch, and roll my eyes at them! I'm not convinced! I'll stand at their bedside in the middle of the night, screaming and roaring! I'll climb on their heads and pull their ears so they'll know their place!'
'So what if I sit at the main table? The Class Monitor is right in front of me. I can look Class Monitor up and down countless times in one glance!'
'Will the Class Monitor suddenly take me with him when he leaves, and then make me reach the pinnacle of life?'
(Class 6 couldn't help but have their minds racing when they saw Qin Su appear before them, thinking about how Qin Su hadn't made a strong demand that more than 90% of the council members vote for He Muzhi and how he could see them.
[Help! Their inner monologues are disturbing my eyes!]
[Translation Summary: What are you babbling about? The facts don't matter; what matters is that the Class Monitor definitely only treats me differently, nobody else gets involved!]
[Mu: Then what about all the meticulous planning I put into this?]
[You must have a lot of free time. (covers mouth in surrender)]
[Haha, the sky has fallen for Mu!]
[As is well known, Class 6) is also known as the "Supervisory Class," and is quite famous outside the school. It has been called "the class with serious mental problems" and "the class that is nothing without Qin Su" several times.]
[Narrator: Although their bodies were forcibly restrained, their eyes could still move, which was terrifying (not really)]
[Who understands? No one's talking, yet these few pages of images are showing because of King Su.]
The scene was filled with the inner thoughts of the lively group of students in Class 6. Upon closer inspection, their thoughts were densely filled with their love for the Boss 1. I was so moved by their sincere feelings that my eyes almost popped out of my head.
[Who said Class 6) had changed? The fine tradition of going crazy with inner monologues upon seeing Qin Su is still going strong (laughing and crying)]
[Some people may appear respectable and proper on the surface, but their hearts have been twisted, dark, and manic for quite some time now.]
After a two-second scan, Qin Su withdrew his gaze, naturally turning to He Muzhi opposite him as he said, "Sit down, everyone."
(Class 6) Before Qin Su spoke, the group of students in Class 6 dared not move. They stood stiffly, and when they heard Qin Su's words, they sat down in unison almost at the same time.
[... (Class 6 left me completely exhausted.]
[Class 6): No matter how noisy we are, once Qin Su speaks, we are a group of people who love each other so much that our actions are always in sync!]
Qin Su: "..."
'Even after all this time, his habit of being startled by his classmates' sudden outbursts hasn't changed.'
For a second, Qin Su was momentarily stunned by his classmates' synchronized movements, but he quickly recovered and maintained his gaze fixed on He Muzhi. Only after his classmates had sat down for a second did he speak up to congratulate He Muzhi: "Congratulations."
"!"
Although countless guesses flashed through He Muzhi's mind the moment Qin Su appeared, and 'congratulating himself' was naturally within his guess range, when he actually heard it, He Muzhi still felt a sense of unreality... No, Qin Su's sudden appearance here was like a beautiful dream that their (Class 6 collectively had.
After all, Qin Su hadn't seen them for a very, very long time.
He Muzhi suppressed the surging emotions within him and tried his best to keep his voice calm as he spoke, "Thank you, Class Monitor."
No matter what he is now, Qin Su will always be a unique presence in Class 6.
(Class 6 temporarily turned their anger towards He Muzhi: "..."
'Hehe, congratulations!'
[ (Class 6: No hee hee]
[The curve of He Muzhi's lips is harder to suppress than an AK]
[It doesn't matter, whether you believe it or not, once Boss Su leaves, the rest of Class 6 will get back the 'anger' they suffered at He Muzhi's hands by showing off to others.]
[Waiting for the World Achievement to be achieved again when everyone except Class 6 is injured]
Noticing the other students' wistful glances at He Muzhi, Qin Su, while having his meals delivered behind his back, didn't forget his masterful ability to balance everyone's needs. To appear sincere, this time his eyes lingered longer on the students' faces than before, adding to the others' portions, and speaking slowly, "And you guys..."
"Congratulations."
"!"
One second they were internally mocking He Muzhi, their lips practically drooping to the ground, but the rest of Class 6 instantly changed their expressions, their lips curving upwards in obvious disbelief, and their voices, uttered in unison, were exceptionally loud. "Thank you, Class Monitor!"
[Class 6 is really good at turning faces, it can be summed up in two words: authoritative!]
[Class 6): Hehe]
Having prepared in advance, Qin Su wasn't startled this time. Influenced by his classmates' emotions, he twitched the corners of his mouth, seemingly glancing at the empty dining table, but actually looking at the Optical Brain's interface—visible only to him—which clearly displayed the delivery personnel's movements. His voice, no longer lowered, became naturally gentler than before under deliberate adjustment. "Alright, let's begin."
As soon as Qin Su finished speaking, the special Passageway leading from the banquet hall to the kitchen opened, and countless service staff filed in.
Many students in Class 6 were still immersed in Qin Su's personal congratulations and did not immediately realize what Qin Su meant. They only understood when they saw the crowd pouring in.
The food Service Team members were momentarily stunned when they saw Qin Su. They finally understood why Temple had informed them not long ago that the original order had been changed. However, thanks to their professional training, they quickly composed themselves and followed the lead of the team leader, who gave a wink to the deputy team leader. They dispersed in an orderly manner, making sure the team leader placed the first appetizer in front of Qin Su, and then the deputy team leader placed it in front of He Muzhi. Only then did they all place their trays in front of their respective guests, and then silently retreat with the team leader.
[Berkeley: Family, does anyone understand? The main character's position is reversed!]
[They had no idea Qin Su was there before they arrived; their on-the-spot reaction time is top-notch.]
[Sure enough, wherever Su sat was the seat of honor.]
[I can't tell what the appetizer is.]
[Our Shepherd's Hometown Dishes]
"Don't be nervous." Qin Su leaned back casually in his chair, knowing he felt uncomfortable with his classmates. He picked up his knife and fork and said gently, "Say whatever you want, just pretend I'm not here."
He'd already come all this way, and if he left without eating anything, it would be the last time he ate with his classmates, which he felt was inappropriate. He hoped his classmates would have to put up with him a little longer.
Qin Su habitually ignored the gazes directed at him, and slowly and deliberately put the cut pieces into his mouth and chewed.
(Class 6 6 followed Qin Su and picked up their knives and forks. They said "okay" and "I know" to Qin Su, but no one really pretended that Qin Su didn't exist. They didn't care to look at the appetizers on their plates. Their eyes were always looking at where Qin Su was. They didn't taste anything. The whole space was so quiet that only the slight sound of the cutlery clattering could be heard.
Qin Su: "..."
He still needs to leave soon.
--
Temple didn't wait long before the appetizer team returned. From a distance, he could see the obvious excitement on each of their faces, which fueled his curiosity. He called out to the head server, "Berkeley, come here."
Logically speaking, most of the people in Class 6) have been wandering around the Atopulai Palace during this period, often gathering in groups of three or five in private. The people here have seen them quite a few times during this period, so they shouldn't show such an obviously excited expression. Temple's strange feeling in his heart is getting stronger and stronger.
Berkeley had a lot to say, even if Temple hadn't called her, she would have gone to him the moment it ended. Seeing Temple watching them, she quickly whispered something to her team members, who then stood a considerable distance away from Temple. "Why didn't you say he was here too! No wonder you arranged it that way, now I understand everything. Or... were you using this opportunity to evaluate our work?"
Before Temple could speak, Berkeley, convinced he was right, nodded to himself, "That must be it!"
Besides this reason, she couldn't think of any other reason. After all... it couldn't be that Temple, who was in charge of He Muzhi's daily affairs, didn't know that Qin Su would be attending He Muzhi's dinner party for Class 6), right?
Fortunately, although we felt very... when we saw him...
"?"
A huge question mark flashed through Temple's little head, and she hurriedly interrupted Berkeley: "Wait a minute, Berkeley, excuse me, who are you referring to?"
Not long ago, when he received the notification of the change in the delivery order, he assumed it was because He Muzhi had unusually sat in an unexpected position, which was why the delivery order had been changed. Now, judging from Berkeley's reaction, he was clearly wrong.
"Of course it's Qin Su!"
Before Berkeley could speak, one of the team members who caught up from behind couldn't contain his excitement and answered Temple's question first.
Berkeley nodded. "Yes... wait a minute." Berkeley looked at Temple with disbelief. "You didn't know?! What we just did..."
"Are you kidding me?" Despite having a suspicion in her mind, Temple was still shocked when she finally confirmed the answer. To maintain her composure, she stubbornly stuck to Berkeley's earlier words, "I just wanted to see everyone's reaction."
After making his excuses, Temple didn't give anyone else a chance to speak. Under the suspicious gazes of the others, he immediately walked towards the next group of people delivering food. He wasn't sure if any group had the on-the-spot reaction ability of the Berkeley Group, and he intended to give them a heads-up in advance.
"Really? Or is it just a face-saving measure?"
"I don't know, I only know that the God Su is still dazzling today!"
"More than that! Even though I wasn't standing next to him, I could feel that refreshing coolness from a distance!"
"+1, I just peeked. He clearly has Alpha Pheromone Blocker Patch on the Gland of his neck, always restraining himself from emitting Pheromones, but that odorless coldness still sends chills down my spine and invigorates me."
"Who says it isn't...?"
Listening to the excited whispers in the distance, and looking at the group members in front of him who were trying to calm themselves down after listening to him, Temple's eyes unconsciously showed a hint of envy.
'I really envy them being able to see Qin Su in person during the meal service, to be in the same space as Qin Su, even if it's just for less than three minutes.'
Temple firmly believed that, not only did he want to go, but if he were shameless enough to commit this crime and spread the word that Qin Su was here, countless people would be scrambling for this opportunity.
Fearing that his envious gaze might slip out, Temple went to the next group to give them a reminder, intending to give them more time to prepare.
Before reminding everyone, Temple didn't forget to have the signals here temporarily blocked to prevent the news from spreading before dinner was over. Affecting Qin Su's mood would be the same as affecting He Muzhi's banquet, and then he would have no face to face He Muzhi in the future.
Fifteen minutes passed. Qin Su tasted the first hot dish, chewed and swallowed, and put down his knife and fork without hesitation. Seeing his classmates following suit, Qin Su didn't stop them this time. He stared at the screen and watched as the last student put down his knife and fork. Amidst the puzzled and inquisitive gazes of the others, Qin Su glanced at He Muzhi across the long table and calmly said, "Time's almost up."
As he spoke, Qin Su stood up and immediately stopped the other students from following suit. "Sit down."
Qin Su's commanding tone, which left no room for refusal, made the students of Class 6 firmly glued to their chairs. They raised their eyes slightly to look at Qin Su, and in a short time, a lot of messy thoughts arose because of Qin Su's words. They felt uneasy for no reason.
'What did the Class Monitor mean? What do you mean by "that's about enough"? That's unlucky!'
'No, please don't think it's what I'm thinking!'
"Ugh, why did the Class Monitor suddenly become so serious? It's creepy. Did we do something wrong that upset Class Monitor? But we didn't dare say anything!"
'Damn it, who exactly offended the Class Monitor?'
They're getting anxious!
[Qin Su: One sentence broke through the defenses of Class 6) ]
[I'm not saying this to be mean, but aren't you guys in Class 6 usually pretty brave? Why do you act like you're walking on thin ice when you're around Qin Su? Can't you stand up straight? Stop scaring yourselves like this.]
[However, does nobody really think their analysis is correct? Qin Su's words did give the impression that something was amiss.]
Qin Su's gaze swept over the students, noticing the furrowed brows on many faces, before continuing his unfinished sentence, "It's time for me to leave too."
From now on, the students all have their own directions, and there is no need for him anymore. Moreover, distance makes the heart grow fonder. If they meet and stay together for a long time, he is afraid that he will gradually develop more and more rifts with the students. Ending at the time when the students are embarking on new journeys and preparing to make great strides on different paths is the most appropriate time for him and for the other students in Class 6).
Before leaving their lives, he came to give a belated congratulatory message to everyone in Class 6, thus making up for the lost friendship.
"!"
(Class 6 6 were furrowed into a deep frown, and their hearts were racing uncontrollably. Although they had a thousand words to say because of Qin Su's words, no one spoke up under Qin Su's indifferent gaze.
Qin Su withdrew his gaze from his classmates, and at the same time as turning around, he controlled the tightly closed door to open, and stepped towards the direction of the bright light.
When he was two steps away from the door, Qin Su stopped with his back to the crowd and suddenly spoke again, "Classmates."
"..."
(Class 6 students swallowed hard, trying to control their emotions. The next moment, they saw Qin Su raise his hand and wave at them, and then his voice, which was not as cold as before, entered their ears again.
"Never again."
Having recited the farewell lines he had prepared beforehand, Qin Su stepped out, and the door behind him slammed shut in an instant. Qin Su lowered his hands to say goodbye to his classmates, thinking of them just a door away. His fingers, hanging by his sides, secretly rubbed the Pheromones pressed against his palms. He realized his mood wasn't as light as he had thought. He sighed inwardly, ultimately deciding not to turn back, leaving according to his original plan before anyone else noticed.
This time, he once again judged his classmates by his own petty standards. They didn't pester him as he expected, and the 'Pheromones' he had prepared to use to control the situation were completely useless. Even after hearing his farewell, his classmates remained calm and composed.
"..."
'Rounding it up, he's so shameless and narcissistic.'
[????? How could God Su a mouth that's supposed to be 37 degrees Celsius say such cold words? (crying)]
[Oh no, why didn't anyone tell me there was a knife here! Waaaaah, now my eyes are really going to pop out of their sockets!]
[No, no, no, it must be fake. Qin Su had previously shown great favor to the reformed army in front of others at the Setini Palace, and even made a move to distance himself from Class 6). But later, in order to prevent others from affecting Class 6)'s election, he personally stepped in to solve the problem for them, avoiding a series of potential hidden dangers. So this time it will be the same!]
[You know that last time it was in front of other people, right? Open your eyes wide and look carefully. There is no one else here except the people from Class 6). Qin Su said goodbye to them sincerely. I guarantee it.]
[He did agree, and last time Qin Su didn't explicitly say anything as heartless as "we'll never see each other again." This time he's made it clear, so how could it be a lie? Therefore, the opportunity for other planets has arrived?]
[What are you (Class 6 people doing? Go and stop him! Hurry up and cling to the God Su's leg so he can't leave!]
[Give up. That scene is too gruesome. Let alone the fact that they couldn't pull it off, would they even dare? They'd probably be completely suppressed by the God Su's Pheromones before they even got close. Besides, the God Su has already said so. Even if they had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to make things too ugly.]
Does this mean this manga is coming to an end?
[Are you kidding me? The protagonist's amazing life has only just begun. This is just the God Su announcing his departure from the protagonists' world... Wait, the God Su can freely choose when to leave! Wow, that's even more 'divine'!]
[I don't care, what does it have to do with the God Su saying goodbye to Class 1 6? I'll make a scene if I don't see the God Su in this comic again!]
[This comic is full of Boss Su) influences, and there are so many statues. The thought of spending my whole life hugging these things makes my heart ache. No way! (bursting into tears)]
"..."
'Does it mean the worst possible outcome they're thinking of?'
Everyone was startled. Before they could even think, the door slammed shut in front of them, completely isolating them from Qin Su. Their minds went blank for a moment. They didn't even have time to consider whether to speak up or not. Even if they had time to hesitate, given Qin Su's cold face, even He Muzhi, Qin Su's favorite, didn't dare to move. So they certainly didn't dare...
Thump thump thump...
(Class 6 were still at a loss when their thoughts were interrupted by the sudden sound of footsteps. When they looked in the direction of the sound, they saw something dart out quickly.
Then they saw the tightly closed door open.
What just passed by?
"If I'm not mistaken, it's He Muzhi."
"Be confident, his seat is empty, really... don't push!" The speaker's voice was as hoarse as the others'. Before he could finish speaking, he had just stood up when he saw countless figures rushing past him.
As soon as He Muzhi stepped outside, he saw that apart from Temple, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression not far away, there was no one else in the entire corridor.
Temple saw He Muzhi and, without thinking, immediately ran to greet him. Confused as to why He Muzhi had come out during the meal, she cautiously asked, "Did something happen?"
"It's nothing." Having experienced both joy and sorrow in a very short time, He Muzhi withdrew his searching gaze, his feelings indescribable. He didn't really want to say much, but simply concealed his true emotions, calmly shaking his head slightly at Temple, before turning and walking back.
"Okay." Temple watched He Muzhi's back disappear from sight, and then a group of students from Class 6 rushed out. They were stopped by He Muzhi, who was facing them. Temple was full of questions but did not dare to ask any more.
Facing the gazes of everyone in Class 6, He Muzhi stated the facts calmly. "No, go back."
Despite this being an expected answer, many students in Class 6) still couldn't control their expressions, and obvious disappointment appeared in their eyes and brows.
"When I saw the Class Monitor appear, I thought it was hope, but I never imagined it would be Class Monitor last dinner with us. If I had known, I would have preferred..."
Someone in the crowd muttered something, but didn't finish the sentence. However, the other people in Class 6 who heard it knew what the other person was talking about and silently agreed.
'If they had known this would happen, they would have preferred not to have seen Qin Su this time and to have remained in the same state as before. At least then, Qin Su wouldn't have said those things to them personally, and they could still harbor illusions like they did after the Setini Palace incident, instead of having even the last embers of their illusions extinguished by Qin Su himself, as they had imagined.'
He Muzhi stood silently facing his classmates for two seconds, quickly regaining his composure in front of them, and said in a normal tone, "Let's go back and continue."
No matter what happens, they don't represent themselves; as long as they're alive, life goes on.
"..."
If they remembered correctly, they hadn't even had a chance to urge He Muzhi He Muzhi with their eyes before he chased after them on his own. Faced with a situation that none of them wanted to confront, He Muzhi was the first to react and the first to lose control, and now he was the fastest to become 'indifferent'. This shift in emotions... they felt something was off.
(Class 6 looked at He Muzhi with strange expressions and walked back with a series of "hmm" sounds.
The door closed again, and dinner continued as He Muzhi had said, but the atmosphere wasn't much better; in fact, it was even more oppressive than before.
When Qin Su was around, they didn't know what to say in front of Qin Su, afraid of saying too much and making a mistake. So they simply kept silent, which meant they wouldn't make a mistake or do anything stupid in front of Qin Su. At that time, although they were silent, there was a hidden excitement in their silence. Now that Qin Su is gone, although they are no longer afraid of saying the wrong thing or doing something stupid, they have also lost the mood to communicate with each other. Even if the person sitting opposite them is He Muzhi, they can't muster any interest.
He Muzhi was not unaware of everyone's condition, but in order to maintain the dignity of Class 6) and avoid letting outsiders know about today's abnormality, he still had the remaining dishes delivered in order. However, he had Temple replace the delivery people with the robot team.
Anyway... the students in Class 6 probably aren't in the mood to argue right now and are quite happy to accept this arrangement.
