Chapter 65

"I haven't eaten all day... Class President, I'm so hungry, I want to eat."

Shen Gonglin sat down on the ground and started yelling, "So what if I die? It's better to explode than to starve to death. Anyway, Shen Gonglin didn't want to put in any more effort. Right now, all he wanted to do was throw a tantrum."

This guy... he really has no morals, isn't he afraid of being seen?

Fu Hua looked helplessly at Shen Gonglin, who was rolling on the ground. How long had they been training? Couldn't Shen Gonglin have lasted a little longer?

Chapter 259 Swatting Mosquitoes

"Alright, alright, that's enough for today, okay? You need to be persistent in practicing martial arts. What will you do if I'm not around anymore?"

Fu Hua pressed her Shen Gonglin's antics had really given her a good throbbing. The guy was actually lying on the ground, throwing a tantrum. Seeing him like this, Fu Hua wanted to stomp on him, but then she thought again. She knew she wouldn't use much force, and Shen Gonglin would definitely grab her leg. So, Fu Hua only thought about it. She had already decided to be strict with him, but why couldn't she bring herself to be firm when he acted like this? This wasn't a good sign.

What if I became like Rita, shamelessly spoiling Shen Gonglin? Then Shen Gonglin would truly be ruined.

"Then, Class President, you can just stay by my side from now on. You can go when we fight, and I'll go when we collect rewards. To be honest, I'm not very good at... well, how should I put it, I'm just not used to fighting. Class President, you can just stay by my side, and then everything will be fine."

Seeing that Fu Hua finally relented, Shen Gonglin stopped his tantrum and stood up. In his opinion, it was no big deal. Why worry about something that could be avoided? If he was worried that something might happen to her if she wasn't by his side, then the Class President could stay by his side all the time. There was no contradiction at all.

"... You don't understand. One day, we will all have to face situations that we don't want to happen."

Fu Hua helped Shen Gonglin remove the weeds from his clothes. He was still wearing Kiana's cat-themed hoodie, which he had made a mess of while rolling around on the ground. She might have to wash his clothes when they got back. As for what Shen Gonglin had said... Fu Hua shook her head slightly and looked into the distance. If only things were as they should be, but the world doesn't always go the way you want it to.

With her crimson eyes fixed on the setting sun, Fu Hua's eyes revealed a rare hint of disappointment. If things could really turn out as Shen Gonglin had said, that would be the best outcome.

Snap!

Just as Fu Hua was deep in thought, a crisp sound suddenly rang out. Fu Hua felt a numbness in her thigh. Her gaze shifted downwards, and she saw that Shen Gonglin's cat paw was pressed tightly against her leg. What on earth was this girl doing in this rare atmosphere of disappointment and sadness?

He ruined all the mood I had worked so hard to build up!

"Class President, look, there are mosquitoes! Don't move, there seem to be a few more."

Completely oblivious to what Fu Hua was saying, Shen Gonglin opened her hand, showing Fu Hua the dead mosquito in her palm. Just like a normal cat, Shen Gonglin was quite interested in these little flying insects, especially since it was clinging to the Class President's snow-white leg, ready to suck blood. Shen Gonglin felt a little jealous. She had never even tasted the Class President's blood herself, and she wondered what it tasted like. How could she let a mosquito steal it from her?

The Class President's first blood was taken by Shen Gonglin!

This guy really has no sense of atmosphere. I really want to pin him to the ground and slap him a few times. I'm feeling so sad here, and he's swatting mosquitoes? And couldn't you have swatted a little less hard? That was such a hard slap, are you trying to kill your master... or is it trying to kill your master?

A red mark instantly appeared on her snow-white skin, a small handprint imprinted on Fu Hua's leg. Fu Hua looked expressionlessly at Shen Gonglin, who was catching mosquitoes everywhere. Because it was getting late, these little vampires had also come out to forage for food. They were swatting mosquitoes, and she happened to see the biggest mosquito.

Driven by a sense of revenge, Fu Hua stepped forward and slapped Shen Gonglin's leg. Who told this guy to be waving his bare legs around in front of her? Kiana's clothes fit him perfectly, to the point that she wanted to beat him up just by looking at him.

"Ouch, that hurts... Class President, what are you doing?"

Shen Gonglin was focused on dealing with mosquitoes, was suddenly slapped by Fu Hua. Shen Gonglin, who had a very low pain tolerance, immediately grimaced. He turned around and looked at Fu Hua in disbelief. What was going on? Why was his Class President repaying kindness with enmity?

There are mosquitoes.

Fu Hua lied expressionlessly. Even immortals lie, otherwise wouldn't they be bullied to death by this heartless and immoral guy? Even the most rigid immortal has to learn to be flexible in front of Shen Gonglin. He has to lie to trick him into learning martial arts, and he has to lie to trick him into doing this. Fu Hua felt like he had become bad.

"Huh? Mosquitoes... That's alright then, Class President, let's go back quickly, there seem to be a lot of mosquitoes here."

No one doubted the truthfulness of Fu Hua's words. After all, Shen Gonglin Fu Hua's heart, and she should disdain lying. So Shen Gonglin didn't say anything more. There seemed to be more and more mosquitoes here, and the buzzing sounded terrifying. It would be better to go back quickly.

"Um."

Despite Shen Gonglin's seemingly strong and assertive demeanor, Fu Hua has a feeling... no, she's already certain, that Shen Gonglin is actually a tsundere (initially cold but later warm-hearted) uke (submissive partner).

Fu Hua was absolutely certain of the pleasure she derived from bullying him.

"Ouch... that hurts! Class President, did you hit him?"

Still oblivious to Fu Hua's thoughts, Shen Gonglin genuinely believed that the honest and kind-hearted Class President was swatting mosquitoes for her. If it was just to swat mosquitoes, that would be fine, but why did the Class President seem to have such poor aim? He swung twice and didn't seem to hit anything. In this aspect, the Class President seemed to be inferior to her.

"No... hiss..."

Fu Hua was secretly pleased, but then Shen Gonglin slapped her leg again. This guy was showing off the results of his battle in his palm like he was presenting a treasure. Ouch, that hurt. She really had to keep hitting him.

So Fu Hua and Shen Gonglin continued their lovemaking as they walked, until Shen Gonglin was almost crying from the pain, and Fu Hua was so exhausted she could barely walk. The battle was quite intense.

Chapter 260 The Girls' Fantasies

In the bright room of St. Freya's girls' dormitory, a girl wearing an apron was busy in the kitchen. Her long, dark purple hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down her back. The steam rising from the pot made the girl's figure slightly blurred. Mei was particularly good at cooking, which was certified by Shen Gonglin. Her cooking was much better than the Class President's.

"Mei, is it ready yet? I'm so hungry."

The aroma of food tantalized Kiana's stomach as she lay on the sofa. Although watching Mei cook was an ultimate pleasure, she would still like to taste it herself if she could. The girl struggled to sit up. She usually bothered Mei in the kitchen, but today Kiana found it very difficult just to sit up. The aftereffects of being drained of blood by Shen Gonglin had not yet subsided. Kiana was still limp all over and had no strength at all.

"Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon... Bronya, could you please call the Class President and ask her to bring Shen Gonglin over when she comes back? No one can stay at his place today, so let him come over for dinner first."

After tasting the rich soup in the pot and finding it just right, the girl covered the pot with satisfaction. While dealing with Kiana, Mei looked at Bronya and gave her instructions. There was indeed a problem with Shen Gonglin's dormitory. During the battle, Bronya's Heavy-duty Rabbit had blown up his bedroom. It was a new dormitory, and Shen Gonglin had only stayed there for one day. It seemed that Shen Gonglin would have to make do here for the time being.

Mei actually thinks this choice is pretty good. If someone lives right in front of her, she won't have to worry about anyone sneaking up on her at night. Teacher Himeko usually seems quite serious, but she always becomes strange when she's around Shen Gonglin. Mei is quite afraid of her being alone with Shen Gonglin, and she always feels like Shen Gonglin.

"Okay, Mei- neechan, Bronya will call the Class President right now."

The girl waiting for her meal on the other side of the sofa nodded obediently. Kiana Bronya. The aftereffects of Shen Gonglin's vampire treatment had subsided, and Bronya had put her exoskeleton armor back on. However, it wouldn't be long before she could stop wearing it altogether. Shen Gonglin's treatment was very effective, Bronya was now very confident that she could stand up again. After Shen Gonglin had granted her this wish before.

Even in the worst-case scenario, Bronya would only have to get bitten by Shen Gonglin every day, which she felt was acceptable.

"Hello... Stop, don't call anymore... It's Bronya on the phone."

When the call connected, several strange snapping sounds came from the receiver. These sounds made Mei in the kitchen stop chopping vegetables. The three girls fell silent. What was the Class President doing?

Don't assume that innocent girls don't understand anything. In fact, girls are much more mature than boys.

"Bronya, what's wrong...? I already told you not to move, can't you just be quiet for a bit?"

The Class President on the other end of the phone sounded rather exasperated, and they could also hear Shen Gonglin Jingu's voice on the line. Meanwhile, the strange slapping sound continued unabated. Mei's expression immediately turned strange. As the eldest among them, she knew more than Kiana and Bronya. The girl's divergent thinking immediately took hold. What were the Class President and Shen Gonglin doing? Could it be...? Probably not, after all, she was the Class President.

"Class President, Mei- nee said that Shen Gonglin room is broken, so she asked you to bring Shen Gonglin with you when you come back."

Bronya was relatively simpler, or rather, her emotionless personality prevented her from expressing any particular feelings. She truthfully repeated Mei's words, but her little hand unconsciously turned the phone volume up to the maximum. The sounds on the other end immediately became clearer: the sound of skin hitting skin, the Class President's obviously Mei breathing, and Shen Gonglin's occasional unclear words. Not only Mei, but even the carefree Kiana felt something was off, as if Shen Gonglin and the Class President were doing something fun over there.

"Yeah, I know... You really think I won't get angry, huh! I told you not to move, not to move! I didn't wear this outfit so you could do this kind of thing. It hurts so much! You've been using more and more force since the beginning. Just you wait, I will never wear this outfit again and stay with you!"

While talking to Bronya on the phone, Fu Hua also had to deal with Shen Gonglin, who was swatting at her legs non-stop. She was just swatting mosquitoes a moment ago, but now she was clearly addicted to it. After all, Fu Hua could even hear the rhythm. It must be the little tune that Shen Gonglin usually likes to hum. This guy is really proficient in everything. I really want to just beat him to death.

After Fu Hua finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Bronya quietly put down her phone, and the cozy dormitory suddenly fell into silence. The only sound was the bubbling of food in the pot. What the Class President had just said was really thought-provoking. Even Kiana could tell something was wrong, let alone Raiden Mei, who was well-read. Back when she was still a young lady, she loved reading and inevitably secretly read many different books. As soon as the Class President mentioned it, she immediately thought of the plot in the book.

Why would these two people changing clothes be involved when they're together? If it's not for doing that kind of thing... then what kind of thing is it? And why is the force getting stronger and stronger? Could it be that it's what I'm thinking about?

Mei suddenly understood, but in an instant she shook her head, banishing those strange thoughts. "It can't be," she thought. "After all, that's the Class President, the Class President I respect most. It's hard to imagine her wearing those clothes with Shen Gonglin..." But then again, maybe not. The Class President is indeed very special to Shen Gonglin. No, it's not even special; she really dotes on Shen Gonglin. Anyone with eyes can see how much she dotes on her. So even if the Class President did something special to Shen Gonglin... it wouldn't seem so strange, would it?

No, I still can't leave Shen Gonglin out alone. That would be too dangerous. It's safer to keep her by my side. Even the Class President... isn't safe!

Chapter 261 The Designer

"Shen Gonglin, you can sleep here. It's a sofa, but it's better than other places. We'll talk about where you'll stay later... If anything happens, remember to shout. My room is over there. I'll definitely hear you if you make any noise."

In the dormitory, Mei solemnly admonished Shen Gonglin. Because of the voice on the phone earlier, the three girls were completely distracted during the meal. Their eyes couldn't help but drift towards Fu Hua and Shen Gonglin. Fu Hua, feeling uneasy under their gaze, went to take a shower. Shen Gonglin, on the other hand, sat on the sofa and accepted Mei's instructions. The sofa was fine, although Shen Gonglin would have preferred to sleep in the bed. But this was someone else's dormitory, and it was already good enough to have a place to lie down. Shen Gonglin was very obedient.

"Oh... But Mei, nothing dangerous should happen in your dorm, right? There shouldn't be anything worth screaming about, unless Kiana transforms and ambushes me again. But I was careless last time, she definitely won't succeed so easily this time... Hey, what are you doing?"

Shen Gonglin didn't understand why Mei was so worried. She looked at Shen Gonglin with a complicated expression. This silly deer had no idea that danger was lurking nearby. To be honest, Mei didn't trust any of the other girls except herself. After all, even the emotionless Bronya had been led astray by Shen Gonglin, and the most innocent Kiana had done something similar. And the rigid Class President was even worse... She felt that Shen Gonglin was like a lamb released into a pack of wolves. Who else could protect him besides herself?

Before she could finish speaking, the little lamb moved closer to Kiana, the Siberia she-wolf. Didn't he know the danger? It was a real headache. Mei should get up and check on him more often tonight, otherwise she'd be really worried.

Not understanding what Mei was worried about, Shen Gonglin went over to Kiana to take a look. This girl had seemed very troubled since earlier. She had been hunched over the table, writing and drawing, as if she was filling out some kind of application form. Shen Gonglin thought she was just doodling, but upon closer inspection, she realized that it didn't seem to be just scribbling.

"Valkyrie Combat Armor Personalization Request Form... What is this thing again?"

Shen Gonglin looked at the name on the application form and read it aloud. He recognized each character, but he didn't quite understand the combination. He had a vague impression of Valkyrie Armor. When he fought Durandal, she said she wasn't wearing any armor. It seemed to be standard equipment for Valkyrie. Now that he had enrolled, he wondered if he would have something like that too.

"Give it back! Himeko wants us to hand it in tomorrow, but I have absolutely no idea how to design it. I can't just do something haphazardly... Shen Gonglin, do you have any good suggestions?"

Kiana scratched her head in exasperation. This rather unladylike gesture looked incredibly cute on her. So all cuteness and coquettishness have to be based on looks. Shen Gonglin never denied that she was a looks-obsessed person. Although she wasn't very bright, she was definitely good-looking.

"Let me think... How about a bolder high-slit style? It would definitely look especially attractive. Kiana, with your long legs, it should look great."

Shen Gonglin, resting her chin on her hand, offered a suggestion: Kiana is tall, has long legs, fair skin, and is beautiful. Most importantly, she has a great figure. With such a clothes hanger-like figure, she would look good in anything. Unlike the Class President, who would expose her shortcomings if she didn't dress carefully. So, she felt that this design was perfect and very suitable for Kiana.

"Oh? Is that so? Then I'll write it down, daring high-cut type... Get lost! I'm designing Valkyrie Armor, not participating in some swimsuit contest, Shen Gonglin, you better think it over carefully, consider it compensation for hanging me from the tree!"

Kiana was actually planning to continue writing according to Shen Gonglin's wishes, but the silent glances from Mei and Bronya stopped her from doing anything foolish. What was she doing?! Kiana quickly erased those words. Since Shen Gonglin had already come over, she would leave everything to him. What was with all that high-brow stuff? She almost got led astray by him.

"It was the Class President who hung it on the tree, it has nothing to do with me... Here's what we'll do, give me your bag of potato chips, I'll get this for you. By the way, does everyone have this? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Since she had nothing better to do than do design work, Shen Gonglin didn't mind. However, she wouldn't be willing to get involved without some incentive. The bag of potato chips next to Kiana would be her reward. It was time to show them the abilities of a design master. But why didn't she have any of those?

"Teacher Himeko only said this after you and Bronya went out today. The Class President said you didn't need to design armor, that you had your own set of combat armor... Shen Gonglin, are you going to design one for Kiana? Don't come up with anything weird."

Mei also came over and reminded Shen Gonglin that with this guy's wildly imaginative mind, no one could guarantee what kind of battle suit he would design for Kiana. If it were him, it wouldn't be impossible for Kiana to go to the battlefield in a swimsuit. Seriously, Teacher Himeko asked her to design her own unique battle suit. How could Kiana ask Shen Gonglin for help?

I should have known better than to design so quickly. Otherwise, I could have asked Shen Gonglin for some advice. It would have felt like we were shopping together and he would help me pick out nice clothes.

Kiana actually managed to seize this opportunity; you could say she's just lucky.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless, Kiana. Do you like cats? Here, feed one."

Shen Gonglin crumpled Kiana's ruined application form into a ball and threw it in the trash can. After getting a replacement, he prepared to seriously design one for her. The Class President said she had combat armor, which should be referring to the Angel Armor of the Queen of the Void, right? Speaking of which, Kiana's Super A Mode was also called the Queen of the Void, I think. I wonder which Queen of the Void is more powerful. If I could use the maximum output of that state, it should be very powerful. Although I only have that one battle experience with Durandal, Shen Gonglin can feel that I haven't fully unleashed the true power of that suit yet.

Chapter 262 People Who Used to Shower Together

Cat?

He asked her if she liked cats. Kiana scratched her head. Actually, she hadn't really liked these furry creatures before. They shed fur and sometimes bite and scratch people. But now that Shen Gonglin had asked her, she felt like she wasn't as indifferent as before. If she had to say, she thought she actually... liked them quite a bit.

Whenever I think of Kiana the cat, I can't help but think of Shen Gonglin. This guy's habits are just like a kitten's—lazy and greedy. If you're talking about cuteness, then yes, but when it comes to making people angry, he's even more awful than a cat. What does it mean to suddenly ask yourself if you like cats? I don't like cats like him!

"I don't like it, I don't like it at all."

Kiana shook her head, showing her resistance. She felt that if she admitted to liking cats, it would be like admitting that she liked Shen Gonglin. Would Miss Kiana ever admit to something like that? So she decided that she didn't like cats at all, and she didn't like Shen Gonglin at all!

"Oh, then let's add cat elements, and also a five-pointed star. The overall design will be a bodysuit. Kiana, although you use a gun, you always seem to prefer close-range martial arts, so a bodysuit will make it easier to move around. Plus, the waist-cinching and hip-lifting effect... um, it's perfect."

Without even considering Kiana's opinion, Shen Gonglin had only asked her casually. The decision was still hers. Shen Gonglin possessed strong divergent thinking and an extraordinary ability to construct spatial information. The image of Kiana's battle suit was already formed in Shen Gonglin's mind. After hearing what he said, Kiana puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction. This guy hadn't considered her opinion at all. He was just doing it the way he wanted. So why did he even ask her? Was it just a formality?

"Hmm... Look, this is roughly what it looks like overall. It looks pretty good."

Shen Gonglin's crafting skills are top-notch. Under the amazed gazes of the girls around him, he folded the application form in his hand into the shape of Kiana with a few folds. With a few strokes of a pencil, he created a model of the battle suit he envisioned and presented it to everyone. Is this the kind of application form that looks high-class? Always having these inexplicable talents, Shen Gonglin now feels that he might have been a craftsman in the past.

This guy is really strong.

Looking at the lifelike paper model before them, Bronya, Kiana, and Mei couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. If it weren't for the fact that it was made by Rin Shingu herself, they would have thought it was an artwork prepared by a boutique. It was just ordinary paper, but how could Rin Shingu transform it into something like this? Kiana's image was perfectly displayed on the paper model. Rin Shingu could easily live a life of luxury with this skill.

What did this guy do before? It seems like he knows more and more diverse things now.

"I'm done washing, who's coming down to continue?"

Fu Hua walked out of the bathroom, drying her wet hair. As soon as she came out, she saw the group of girls gathered around the table, doing something. In short, they didn't want the girls to get too close to Shen Gonglin. This guy even lusted after his own master, so it was too dangerous for other girls to be around him.

"I... I... I'll wash next. Class President, could you or Bronya find me a change of clothes? I can't wear Mei and Kiana's clothes."

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Gonglin dropped the paper model she was holding and ran into the bathroom. Kiana and Mei hurriedly caught the application forms, while Fu Hua secretly clenched her fists. Couldn't this girl just speak properly? Why did she have to hurt her feelings? She used to never care about these things, but Shen Gonglin seemed to care a lot, and now she seemed to care for no reason. It was all Shen Gonglin's fault. Why didn't she just mention Bronya in her conversation? Why did she have to include her? Didn't this make her seem like she was on the same level as Bronya? After all, she should be better than her...

Just as she was thinking this, Fu Hua felt a strange gaze. She looked up and saw Bronya staring intently at her, or rather, at her chest. What was this little girl's intention with that look? Although Bronya still had a blank expression, Fu Hua could clearly see a hint of contempt in her eyes. What did she mean by that?

A flame burned fiercely in Fu Hua's heart. Even a sage could not ignore such humiliation. Kiana and Mei were one thing, but now even Bronya dared to do this. Did they even respect her as the Class President?

Taking a bath... This feeling has a strange sense of déjà vu. I think I used to do this often. But back then, was I bathing alone? It doesn't seem like that. I think I was bathing with someone. Who was it?

In the bathroom, Shen Gonglin, her mind completely blank, lay comfortably in the bathtub and breathed a sigh of relief. But as soon as her mind was blank, it was as if she remembered something again. Mei said that she had suffered a huge shock to her head, and there was still a large shadow in her mind. But as time went by, she seemed to be able to vaguely perceive some things from the past. For example, the matter of taking a bath, Shen Gonglin felt a sense of déjà vu. Who was it that accompanied her to take a bath back then?

There seemed to be several girls there.

Several images flashed through his mind, but just as Shen Gonglin tried to grab them, a sharp pain shot through his head. He clutched his head, breathing heavily. The only thing he was certain of was that there wasn't just one person; there were blonds, there were black-haireds... Could it be...?

Was I really a bathhouse attendant before?

Otherwise, how could I have met so many girls in the bathroom? A clean and pure guy like me shouldn't have had such illicit relationships, so it must be like this. I must have worked in a public bathhouse before, most likely as a scrubber for women.

With a headache, he didn't force himself to continue thinking. Shen Gonglin buried half his face in the bathtub and started vomiting. Speaking of which, the Class President must have used this bath water before, so should he take a sip...? It wasn't that Shen Gonglin wanted to drink it, but in his memory, it seemed like someone had actually done such a thing.

Chapter 263 Sleepy, Sleepy

Who am I, really? Shen Gonglin... That should be my name, since it sounds cool. But what did I do before? I couldn't have been a bathhouse attendant, could I? After all, I have so many skills, a mere bathhouse attendant wouldn't be enough for me. But I really can't think of any other identity besides that. I really have no other information. This is so difficult.

After lost in thought for a while, Shen Gonglin lost interest in taking a bath. He dried his hair and walked out of the bathroom, wearing the shirt that his Class President, who was all talk and no action, had prepared for him. After all, she was his master, and she certainly wouldn't let Shen Gonglin come out naked. Logically speaking, girls should wear boys' shirts, so why was it the other way around for him?

As Shen Gonglin walked out wearing a white shirt and drying her still-damp hair, Fu Hua's eyes flashed with a hint of amazement. This should be considered a famous scene, right? Shen Gonglin in a shirt... to be honest, her allure seemed to have increased even more, especially those two legs that were even whiter than hers, showing under the shirt. This girl, she really was born into the wrong family.

"Why aren't you wearing slippers? And you should be wearing pants... That's a little better. Put on your slippers, or you'll wet the floor that Mei just cleaned."
