Chapter 147

Mei was a step too late; Bronya had already grabbed the spoon. Mei had planned to do this, so how did Bronya beat her to it? Mei tried to reclaim her work. Bronya herself was a patient; she had been unconscious for so long and had finally woken up. She needed to replenish her energy too.

"It's okay, Bronya can eat with him like this. Mei has worked hard. Can you tell Bronya what's been happening lately? Bronya wants to know the current situation, why we are on the battleship now, where Kiana is, and... why Shen Gonglin has become like this, Mei- neechan, Bronya wants to know."

After feeding Shen Gonglin a spoonful, the emotionless girl immediately fed herself a spoonful as well. This action made Mei's pupils shrink slightly. Didn't Bronya care at all about this indirect kiss? Shen Gonglin had just used this spoon... and she was doing it again! Was she taking advantage of Shen Gonglin while he was completely unaware? Shen Gonglin took a spoonful, Bronya took a spoonful—when did their relationship become so close? It was understandable that Shen Gonglin was completely unaware of what was happening, but Bronya, this was a breach of fidelity! Was she really taking advantage of Shen Gonglin just because she thought she was easy to bully? She hadn't even done anything wrong.

"A lot has indeed happened while you were unconscious. We are now on our way to Schicksal Headquarters. Kiana has been captured and taken to headquarters. We are going to rescue her. As for Shen Gonglin... Shen Gonglin Jingu, how was the taste?"

After explaining the recent events to Bronya, Mei obediently chewed and swallowed his Shen Gonglin. She took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, then slowly wrote these words on his palm, wondering when Shen Gonglin would recover. He was so pitiful in his current state.

"The taste... is very fragrant and delicious. I feel like I've suddenly gained energy, especially that dish from earlier, it was so sweet and delicious."

Upon recognizing the words Mei Shen Gonglin was initially taken aback before giving a thumbs-up in affirmation. His face betrayed no emotion whatsoever. In truth, he had noticed the moment the food entered his mouth that he had completely lost his sense of taste. The normally exquisite dishes tasted utterly bland to him, utterly tasteless. After losing his sight and hearing, he had now lost his sense of taste as well—truly bad news.

However, Shen Gonglin didn't show it. She was already quite worrying in her current state, and if Mei and the others knew that she couldn't even taste the flavor, they would be even more worried.

"Sweet?"

But Shen Gonglin's words betrayed her immediately. Bronya was slightly taken aback. After taking another bite, she stared wide-eyed at Mei. At this moment, Mei's purple eyes were already glistening with tears. She hadn't made any sweet dishes in the Chinese meal she prepared this time, so how could Shen Gonglin taste sweetness? The only explanation was that Shen Gonglin couldn't taste anything anymore. The thought of him pretending to have a big appetite when he couldn't taste anything made Mei's heart ache. Who needed Shen Gonglin to be so sensible? Couldn't he be a little more willful like usual? The Shen Gonglin was the most lovable Shen Gonglin. The Shen Gonglin like this only made Mei feel sorry for him.

"I know you like sweets, so I made this dish especially for you. I'm just glad you enjoyed it."

Thankfully, Shen Gonglin can neither see nor hear now, otherwise, her tearful, choked-up voice would be incredibly embarrassing. Mei wrote words in Shen Gonglin 'Mei palm, then lowered her head. The deep shadows obscured the girl's eyes, preventing Bronya from seeing her expression. However, Bronya could imagine that Mei's current state was probably similar to her own—sight, hearing, taste... Shen Gonglin could only perceive the world through touch now. She needed to let him know that she was always by his side.

Bronya reached out and tightly grasped Shen Gonglin's hand. Shen Gonglin's hand felt as smooth and cool as usual. Bronya wanted to transfer her warmth to Shen Gonglin. Mei also grabbed Shen Gonglin's hand at this moment. Feeling the touch of both hands, Shen Gonglin blinked, her lifeless purple eyes blankly scanning their faces. Had she just said something strange? Why were they suddenly holding her hands like this? Could it be that they had discovered her problem that the dish wasn't sweet?

No way, Mei knows her own taste. If it were her, she would make something sweet for herself. Thinking about it that way, it shouldn't be wrong.

Tsk, either vision or hearing must be restored first, otherwise I won't be able to perceive anything. I have no clue about my vision and hearing. If it were a damaged eardrum, I could use bone conduction to temporarily restore my hearing, but this is because my nerves are overloaded. Shen Gonglin is a doctor, and he knows his current physical condition better than anyone else. Unfortunately, he has no clue how to treat it. They say that rest can help him recover, but Shen Gonglin hasn't shown any signs of recovery yet. This situation is making him increasingly restless. Will I be like this forever? I can't see or hear... To put it bluntly, even if I did Kiana or Mei or whoever it is, I wouldn't know who I was doing it with.

If it were Bronya, she would probably know.

Chapter Seventy-Four: Nature

"Hehe, you guys found out! That's right, I can't taste anything right now, I've even lost my sense of taste. But Mei, don't try to fool me by making me something spicy, spiciness is a pain sensation... But do you guys think losing your sense of taste might make you able to eat spicy food? I feel like I could try that... Mei, you're not crying, are you? Come on, give me a smile, it's just a fatal flaw... Pshaw, it's just losing your sense of taste, it's not like it's incurable, cheer up."

With a quick thought, Shen Gonglin understood that Mei and the others probably realized her current situation. Shen Gonglin wanted to reassure her, not worry her. Since she had already been exposed, Shen Gonglin would no longer hide it. This wasn't what it meant to be sensible; such sensibility was just self-satisfaction, and Shen Gonglin didn't like that at all. Putting herself in their shoes, if Kiana or Mei were hiding their situation from her, she definitely wouldn't be happy. She wasn't one of those male and female protagonists in a TV drama, and Shen Gonglin wasn't going to be pretentious.

So Shen Gonglin frankly admitted his current problem. He reached out and touched Mei's face. He could clearly feel two tear tracks on the girl's soft, smooth cheeks. See, what he did earlier had no effect. Shen Gonglin would still be sad even if he couldn't see it. It was better to just admit it directly. Pretending to be sensible like before felt like a huge loss to Shen Gonglin Mei. He needed to be taken care of in his current state, and he needed them to care for and pamper him more than usual. Shen Gonglin was Shen Gonglin, and he didn't want to pretend to be sensible.

With that thought cleared, Shen Gonglin wiped away Mei's tears with his thumb. He didn't think he'd be like this forever. This guy was confident and narcissistic. There was nothing in this world that could stump him except for childbirth. This was just an accident, and he would recover sooner or later. So he had to take advantage of this opportunity to act cute. When else could he act cute if not now? Anyway, he was injured now, so he was the boss. Whether it was Bronya, Mei, or the headmistress, they all had to pamper him.

"You, you bastard... You're injured right now, how can you still be so self-righteous and arrogant... This is the real you, Shen Gonglin, this is so good."

Mei was almost laughing at Shen Gonglin's words, but tears welled up first. Mei closed her eyes, trying to stop the tears, but the glistening liquid flowed down her cheeks and onto Shen Gonglin's hand. Since she couldn't stop it, she simply let it flow. Mei felt much better this way. As expected of Mei Shen Gonglin, his so-called sensible act earlier was all an act. It was this willful and capricious Shen Gonglin that was most adorable. His attitude made Mei no longer need to pretend that she knew nothing. This guy was excellent at both making people cry and being likable.

She both loved and hated this guy who had lost all his sight, hearing, and taste. It was so embarrassing to shed tears in front of him. The girl's heart, which had been clenched with tension, finally had a chance to relax. Mei reached out and pinched Shen Gonglin's face. This guy had returned to his usual willful self and started to make unreasonable demands. How could she possibly laugh in this situation? Shen Gonglin, you big idiot!

"Ouch! Bronya, Mei pinching me! You better hit her, or hold her down so I can hit her myself. Oh, and take off her skirt for me, I'm going to hit her there, it's fleshy there... Bronya, what are you doing! I told you to take off her skirt, not my clothes! You stupid little girl, you're not listening to me as soon as you wake up, I don't need your dog anymore."

Just as she regained her true nature, Mei gave her a lesson. Shen Gonglin's face was so small and thin that Mei had to use a lot of force to pinch her. The pinch hurt Shen Gonglin, so she immediately asked for help. In her current weak, pitiful, and helpless state, she thought she might be able to fool Bronya. But who knew that this little girl was so clear-headed? Although she had just woken up from surgery and was still very weak, she took off Shen Gonglin speed and ease. What did these two girls want to do to her in her helpless state?

"Bronya is not a dog."

"Stupid little girl? Without her dog?" Bronya's eyes narrowed. It seemed this Shen Gonglin really had gone mad. She needed to change into a hospital gown and properly acknowledge his status as a patient. Only then did Bronya notice the HOMU pajamas he was wearing. Those were her clothes, weren't they? This guy had actually stolen her clothes while she was unconscious in the hospital! She had to take his clothes back too! Give him her hospital HOMU pajamas! A patient should act like a patient!

Mei and Bronya exchanged a glance and nodded to each other, joining forces to pin Shen Gonglin on the bed. Mei held him down to prevent him from moving, while Bronya deftly began undressing him. Perhaps it was because Bronya Shen Gonglin Shen Gonglin quite adept at undressing. She first took off her hospital gown, figuring that Shen Gonglin couldn't see anything and wouldn't be able to take advantage of her. Even if he did, Bronya wouldn't care; after all, it was Shen Gonglin, what was there to care about?

"Bronya, isn't this a bit inappropriate? How about I hold Shen Gonglin while you put your clothes on first?"

Mei felt increasingly uneasy. Why did she feel like she was being green-glowing? And was she helping Bronya take advantage of Shen Gonglin? That's right, Mei felt like it wasn't Shen Gonglin taking advantage of Bronya, but rather Bronya taking advantage of Shen Gonglin. She had never seen anyone so green.

"It's okay, he's struggling a lot, Mei can't hold him down by herself. Mei, please help me hold his hands down, he can't take his pants off."

Bronya calmly pulled the hand that Shen Gonglin had pressed against her chest as she struggled, demonstrating to Mei what a "social loli" was. Looking at her calm face, Mei felt a chill run down her spine. This Bronya was a bit scary.

I have no choice but to listen to her. That's right, I'm just an accomplice, I'm not excited at all.

And so, Bronya and Mei pinned Shen Gonglin down on the bed and bullied her relentlessly. Theresa and Himeko, who came in later, were dumbfounded. How could things have turned out like this in just a short while?

Chapter Seventy-Five

Finally, everything's settled. Now I can properly show my caring side as a mature woman. Usually, Shen Gonglin is as mischievous as a shrimp, so I never had a chance. But now I've finally caught my chance. Shen Gonglin... If I don't take this opportunity to boost my favorability with Shen Gonglin, I'm afraid I'll be left far behind by those little girls.

On the Helios, after arranging all the preparations for battle, Himeko hurried towards the infirmary. Although this might be considered somewhat unfair and taking advantage of someone in distress, isn't that what love is all about? Shen Gonglin can neither see nor hear right now, which is when his inner defenses are vulnerable and he is most sensitive. If she were to launch a campaign at this time, it would definitely be twice as effective. At the very least, she had to stay by his side. Only then would she have the opportunity to show him a mature woman who was different from those young girls. Himeko was serious about this.

Even if her physical condition has deteriorated to this point, she cannot back down. As a former member of the assault team, Himeko has ingrained the spirit of courage into her very being. She lives as brilliantly as a rose, even if she is destined to wither.

So Himeko ran down the corridor with unwavering determination. Theresa was an idiot, Mei was a lukewarm young lady, Bronya was unconscious, Kiana had been captured, and Fu Hua was in that situation. Himeko couldn't think of a better time than now. With one move, she would end it all!

Then, Teacher Himeko, the former assault team member, bumped into someone. This proves that there's a reason why running in the corridors is prohibited in the Valkyrie code of conduct. Valkyrie are generally very physically strong; in Shen Gonglin's words, they're as strong as bulls. If they were to bump into someone while running in the corridor, it would be a big deal. Of course, that "big deal" only applies to Shen Gonglin. For others, even if they look like a petite and easily pushed-over loli, it doesn't matter much.

"Ouch, Himeko, what are you doing? You bumped into me so clumsily, it hurts... Hmm, it doesn't seem to hurt that much?"

Like Himeko, Theresa, who had just finished her work, was also rushing to the infirmary. So the two bumped into each other. Himeko, with her height and long legs, had a significant advantage in the collision. Theresa was knocked to the ground and sat down. The legal loli rubbed her little bottom and looked at Himeko with great dissatisfaction. The main reason for her dissatisfaction was that she had figured out why she wasn't in much pain when she was bumped. The reason was simple: Himeko's front armor was just too unfair!

That soft, sponge-like thing had amazing shock absorption; it was hilarious, it didn't hurt at all when I bumped into it!

"I'm sorry, Theresa, I was really worried about Shen Gonglin, so I... Anyway, are you alright? Are you planning to come over too?"

Himeko reached out and pulled Theresa up. Seeing Theresa, Himeko understood what she wanted to do. However, as a mature older sister, she didn't take Theresa, a little girl, seriously. She was no threat to Theresa, just like Bronya. If she had to say, Himeko felt that Fu Hua and Kiana were more of a threat. She wasn't even too worried about Mei, since with her pampered upbringing, she shouldn't be a problem.

Simply put, Himeko felt that there was no one capable of fighting on the Helios right now, and that even with her low health and only one hand, they could still win.

"Yes, with Shen Gonglin in this state, I really can't rest easy if I'm not by his side. I don't know exactly what his condition is. Ever since he got injured, he's like a completely different person. Even if he's in pain or uncomfortable, he won't say anything. He just sits there quietly by himself. I'm afraid Mei can't take care of him by herself, so I have to go and help."

Walking alongside Himeko, Theresa spoke like a little adult. It was so incongruous for a little girl to say such things, but that wasn't what Himeko cared about. What she cared about was Theresa's attitude. This little girl's attitude towards Shen Gonglin seemed a bit strange. It felt like... she was giving off the feeling that she was giving up on acting.

No way, isn't this shorty supposed to be someone who disdains doing certain things because of her status as an elder and headmistress? Why isn't she even pretending anymore? It's normal to care about students, but caring about her like this seems a bit abnormal. Many of the Valkyrie in St. Freya have been injured on missions, but there's never been Theresa like this.

Unaware of Himeko's gaze, Theresa strode confidently toward the infirmary. Her attitude toward Shen Gonglin was indeed a bit strange. Ever since she saw the image of Shen Gonglin and Kiana in the illusion, she had been acting oddly. It turned out that this guy had been plotting against her all along, seizing every opportunity to try and give her CPR. Normally, you couldn't tell at all. Shen Gonglin was such a master of disguise.

Could it be that he doesn't like young, pretty girls, but rather someone like me, a loli?

For the first time, Theresa felt a surge of secret delight at her loli-like figure, knowing that she was definitely useful. Who wouldn't love a loli with an eternal shelf life? Shen Gonglin clearly had good taste.

"...So that's how it is. But Theresa, you should focus your energy on the upcoming battle. This is no joke. You know the defenses of Schicksal Headquarters better than I do. We can't turn back now. As the commander, you should think about our next move. You can leave Shen Gonglin to Mei and the others. Bronya should be waking up soon."

Glancing at the energetic little girl beside him, he had originally planned to be alone with Shen Gonglin, but Theresa was going to come over anyway. Plans never go as expected. He had to find a way to get her away. War was about to break out, and as the supreme commander, she should be sitting in the command room rocking her chair right now.

"I don't feel comfortable leaving them to the two of them. Even though Shen Gonglin has become very well-behaved now, I'm still afraid he'll bully them. Himeko, you don't know, Shen Gonglin ... he's really bad."

At this point, Theresa's face turned red. Shen Gonglin is no good person. She's particularly good at taking advantage of loopholes. Otherwise, why would she stick out her tongue while giving herself CPR in the illusion?

"That's true."

Himeko nodded. Shen Gonglin was indeed quite wicked, and they couldn't let their guard down. He might be bullying Mei right now. In any case, they had to keep an eye on him. And so, Theresa and Himeko opened the door and saw this scene. Heh, let alone Shen Gonglin bullying Mei, if they had arrived any later, Shen Gonglin's child would probably be... oops, I mean, Mei and Bronya's child would be about to be born.

Chapter 76 Count Me In!

"What are you two doing! Himeko, stop looking and say something!"

Stunned, perhaps because the scene was so shocking, Theresa and Himeko stood frozen at the door for a long time. Finally, Theresa reacted first, realizing what she had just witnessed. She had been worried that Shen Gonglin was bullying someone, but these two had taken advantage of Shen Gonglin's inability to see, hear, or resist. If she and Himeko hadn't arrived... Theresa didn't dare think further. After recovering, Theresa quickly asserted her authority as the headmistress. "And Himeko, stop staring! You're a teacher too! Show some respect!"

Theresa quickly nudged Himeko with her elbow. Why did it seem like there was a hint of envy in Himeko's eyes? Was she seeing things?

"Huh? Oh... Oh, right! You two, take me with you... No, no, let go of Shen Gonglin right now! Honestly, how can you two bully him like this? Don't you know how to give in to him?!"

Her red eyes were filled with envy. Himeko also wanted to pin Shen Gonglin down on the bed and bully her like that. It would be so exciting! Although Shen Gonglin liked to bully others, he was also exceptional at being bullied. How could her two students be so good at this? It's true that you can know a person's face but not their heart. She thought Mei was the kind of honest young lady, but she pulled this trick on her. And Bronya, wasn't she unconscious before? As soon as she woke up, she started bullying Shen Gonglin like this. This little girl has some skills. It's too much.

It's outrageous that they didn't even include me in such a great opportunity.

Seeing Shen Gonglin stripped naked, Himeko swallowed hard. It was so tempting, it was practically forcing her to make a mistake.

Theresa and Himeko are here, so we can't continue. But it's okay, the clothes have been returned anyway. A patient should act like a patient. Bronya is better now, it's Shen Gonglin's turn to lie down.

Bronya glanced back at Theresa and Himeko at the door, then calmly climbed off Shen Gonglin. The way she leisurely buttoned her HOMU pajamas made her look like a carefree young master. This was true nonchalance. In contrast, Mei was much more flustered. The girl only realized what she had just done. She had indeed lost her mind. Mei covered her face, too ashamed to show her face.

Just now, he had actually conspired with Bronya to strip Shen Gonglin's clothes off and then put a hospital gown on him. He had been in a daze and listened to whatever Bronya said. Now that he thought about it, he must have completely lost his mind.

"No, no, you can't do this... Hey, why did you stop? Is Theresa back? Theresa, they bullied me, you have to stand up for me!"

She was just howling there, and although Shen Gonglin's screams sounded pitiful, there wasn't a trace of moisture in her dull purple eyes. She had been playing hard to get. Shen Gonglin always adopted a policy of non-resistance in these kinds of situations. Sensing that Bronya and Mei had stopped, Shen Gonglin crawled up on the bed like a maggot. Although he couldn't see or hear, his brain was still working. Why would these two stop? They shouldn't stop so easily since he was so much fun. The only explanation was that someone had come. That meant it was time for him to perform.

Suddenly channeling his inner drama Shen Gonglin, Rin sniffed, his dull purple eyes suddenly glistening with tears. He jumped off the bed, stretched out his arms, and ran forward, looking like a pitiful kitten seeking justice from its parents. This sight melted the hearts of Theresa and Himeko. How could Bronya and Mei bear to bully him when he was so pitiful? Was it because they were too young? Mature women like them would never treat Shen Gonglin like that.

However, their feelings of being touched lasted only a few seconds before they couldn't help but burst out laughing. Because they couldn't see, Shen Gonglin had no sense of direction at all, and his run, like a swallow returning to its nest, caused him to crash straight into the wall. Seeing him squat down, cover his nose, and roll around on the floor, the people in the room couldn't help but laugh.

Although it's really wrong, it's just too funny.

"Pfft, hahaha... You guys, that's enough! What's so funny? He's already so pitiful, why are you still bullying him... Shen Gonglin, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, let me pat your fur, you won't be scared... Stop laughing, even though he can't hear you, with Shen Gonglin's brain, she can definitely imagine that you're laughing right now."

As expected, Himeko was the one who stepped up at the crucial moment. These idiots were too busy laughing to pay attention. Shen Gonglin rolled around on the ground until she reached Himeko's side. Himeko squatted down, picked Shen Gonglin up, and gently patted his back. She gave Theresa a reproachful look. To be honest, Shen Gonglin's energetic appearance immediately put them at ease. This was the Shen Gonglin. Although her obedient and well-behaved appearance before was also cute, only this was the real Shen Gonglin.

Looking at Shen Gonglin eyes, Himeko smiled with relief. She reached out and hugged Shen Gonglin, who had been feeling aggrieved and restless. Shen Gonglin immediately calmed down. This feeling... it's Himeko!

The sensation on his cheek was very clear. How long had it been since he had received such treatment? Now, Shen Gonglin felt completely at ease. Thankfully, he still had the sense of touch. Compared to Himeko, the times he secretly took advantage of Kiana and Mei were nothing. He completely relaxed and threw himself into Himeko's embrace. At this moment, Shen Gonglin finally realized how wonderful it was that he could still feel touch.

The greatest power in the world is indeed her; it is power itself.

"Himeko, be careful not to suffocate Shen Gonglin. Let him go quickly, let me handle this... Poor child, you've really suffered."

Seeing Himeko holding Shen Gonglin, Theresa immediately became envious. She pulled Shen Gonglin out of Himeko's arms. Shen Gonglin, who had just woken up from the source of power, was still feeling lost when another small force slapped her face. "My nose hurts so much. This size... Is it Theresa?"

Well, let's just make do. No matter how big or small, it's still about power. Right now, Shen Gonglin isn't picky; he'll do anything and doesn't care at all.

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Outstanding Learning Ability

Meanwhile, at the Schicksal Headquarters, in a dimly lit basement, Otto looked at the girl floating in a petri dish, a slight smile playing on his lips as he pondered something. Even in her sleep, the white-haired girl in the petri dish had her brows furrowed from time to time, as if she were having a nightmare.

"Welcome home, K423. Continue injecting Honkai energy. This concentration isn't enough to wake her. As the queen returns, we need to provide a grand spectacle... Rita? Where is Rita?"

Having given his order but receiving no response, Otto had no choice but to go to the lab bench himself and press the button. Where had the maid gone? Why had she suddenly disappeared? She should have been here following his instructions.

"Rita has headed towards the airport, Your Excellency. Should we ask her to return?"

A researcher rushed in and, upon hearing Otto's words, immediately reported Rita's situation. She had bumped into Rita in the corridor earlier, and Rita seemed to be thinking about something important. Rita didn't react when Rita greeted her, which was quite unexpected, as Rita, the vice-captain of the Immortal Blade, is known to be a very gentle and polite person.

"No need, the airport is already closed to flights, so there's no point in her going there. She'll be back soon... Switch the video surveillance to the ruins of the Second Honkai. At this concentration, the Familia should prepare to welcome their Queen."

Unconcerned about Rita's whereabouts, Otto ordered the researchers to switch the monitoring to Siberia. Schicksal's alarms regarding Honkai energy reactions in various locations had already sounded. The scene shifted, and a blue-white dragon was breaking through the ice, accompanied by numerous high-ranking Honkai Beast. These Honkai familiars were preparing to protect their queen.

"Order: Deploy all-area defense satellites. All Valkyrie units, Level 1 combat readiness. Prepare to embrace the world's transformation."

With a command from Otto, a blue protective shield instantly enveloped the entire Schicksal Headquarters. Everything was proceeding according to plan, and the actors were taking their positions. They were quite eager to get started. This world was now in their hands!

"Yes! However, Your Excellency, an unidentified warship has been detected approaching headquarters. Preliminary assessment indicates it is a transport ship belonging to the Far East Branch. Should we intercept it?"

The researcher straightened up and accepted Otto's orders. She also reported on Theresa's situation. Otto shook his head without changing his expression. Even if he tried to stop her, it wouldn't make a difference, especially since she was a key part of his plan. However, in the lingering effect of the plan not yet starting, he didn't mind talking to his lovely granddaughter.

"No need, just do your own thing."

With that last sentence, Otto left the lab; it was time to talk to Theresa.

"Shen Gonglin, is this alright? There's no way to heal your injuries right now, so this is the only way I can communicate with you. What do you think?"

In the Helios's infirmary, Theresa stood by the bedside, helping Shen Gonglin fasten the buttons on her hospital gown. Those guys had just bullied Shen Gonglin so badly, her bare shoulders were almost too much for Theresa to handle, so she had to get Shen Gonglin dressed properly. Those silly girls, really.

As she spoke, Theresa gave Mei and Bronya a slight glare. Mei lowered her head in embarrassment, while Bronya's calm demeanor reminded Theresa of the saying "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water." Didn't she feel ashamed at all?

Not at all. Bronya thought she had just retrieved her own clothes. The emotionless loli lifted the collar of her HOMU pajamas, sniffed them, and showed a satisfied expression. It was definitely more comfortable to wear her own clothes. As for Shen Gonglin, she could just wear her leftover hospital gown. Anyway, their figures were about the same... Tsk, why did she suddenly feel like getting angry again?

"I think it's great! Now we finally know what you're talking about, and we can also distinguish who's speaking by the font size. As expected of Theresa, come here, give me a hug."

Touching the slight protrusion on the electronic board in her hand, Shen Gonglin's newly learned Braille came in handy. This thing could convert what others said into Braille and display it on the electronic board in her hand. Shen Gonglin could finally understand what others were saying. This change made Shen Gonglin very happy. Her world was finally no longer quiet. Shen Gonglin excitedly reached out and hugged the legal loli in front of her. This was really great.

"Um... alright, alright, this isn't all my doing. Himeko helped a lot too. Don't touch me like that. You were acting all docile like a quail before, how come you've suddenly become so reckless? You're really messing around."

Before she knew it, Shen Gonglin hugged her again. After getting close to him, Theresa couldn't help but think of what he had done to her in that illusion. The headmistress blushed and pushed Shen Gonglin away. She couldn't get close to this guy.

"Because I feel I should take advantage of this moment to act cute and spoiled."

The writing board in his hand highlighted Theresa's words. Shen Gonglin understood what Theresa was talking about as soon as he touched it. Anyway, he didn't plan to pretend to be sensible anymore. That would not be good for either himself or Mei and the others. It seems that Shen Gonglin's emotional intelligence has improved since he could no longer see or hear. That was not being sensible at all, but just making things more difficult. Why should he torture himself and Mei and the others like that? He should be willful when he wants to be willful, and act cute when he wants to act cute. He must have been out of his mind to act like that before. It was not like him at all.

"You... now you're so openly admitting you're being cute, you really seized the opportunity."

Theresa shook her head helplessly. Watching Shen Gonglin extend his arm, she muttered to herself and hugged him back. What could she do when Shen Gonglin acted like this? She could only accept it. She was just trying to comfort him; nothing else...

This Shen Gonglin, as expected of Shen Gonglin, mastered Braille so easily. Her learning ability is truly remarkable. However, her most outstanding skill is her ability to act cute. She is already very good at acting cute normally, but now when she acts cute like this, who can resist her?

Mei, Bronya, and Himeko couldn't help but exclaim as they looked at Shen Gonglin, "Shen Gonglin is just too much fun!"

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Schicksal, Attack

"Principal! We have entered the headquarters' air defense zone. Please... please return to the command center as soon as possible!"

Just as Theresa was enjoying her time with Shen Gonglin, a staff member rushed into the infirmary. As soon as she entered, she saw a room full of women surrounding Shen Gonglin. Wow, the rumors were true! Shen Gonglin was definitely the darling of the group. There were rumors that one of the reasons the headmaster attacked the Schicksal Headquarters was to get revenge for Shen Gonglin. Now it seems that the rumors were true.
