Chapter 90

The shop assistant standing to the side offered her advice at the right time: these two are obviously not short of money, and Himeko's appearance and temperament are among the best she has ever seen. There is indeed an outfit that suits her perfectly.

A dress? It looks pretty good. I've never worn that type of clothing before. Anyway, I have time today, so I can give it a try. And someone like Shen Gonglin would probably like a little dress too.

Thinking of this, Himeko nodded slightly, and the shop assistant quickly took out several dresses from the window. Without exception, they were all red as the base color. These clothes were all high-end items in the store with considerable prices. Since she had finally seized the opportunity, how could she only sell one? Of course, the more the better.

"They all seem pretty good... Shrine, wait a moment, I'll go in and try on the clothes."

The clothes the saleswoman brought out were right up Himeko's alley. Judging from Shen Gonglin's expression, he probably thought they suited her too. So Himeko took the clothes and went into the fitting room. Shen Gonglin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He slumped onto the sofa, rubbing his aching ankles. He could finally sit down. Shopping was simply not something a human should do. If he could, Shen Gonglin would run away right now, even if he got lost. Heaven knows if Himeko will continue shopping. If she does, Shen Gonglin is really worried about his life.

Still not answering the phone... Where on earth has Miss Himeko gone?

The street was slightly noisy, and passersby couldn't help but focus their attention on a girl standing on the side of the street. Her light golden hair was carefully styled and looked exceptionally smooth. Her rose-colored eyes, not hidden by her hair, were elegant and bright. However, what attracted more attention was the maid outfit that covered her perfect figure. This was not one of those cheap costumes prepared for cosplay; it was a real maid outfit. Coupled with Rita's straight and elegant posture, there was no doubt that she was a professional maid. Moreover, she was so beautiful and had such a great figure. It would be a shame not to take a second look.

Ignoring the stares of those around her, the maid put down her phone and tilted her head in confusion. Himeko had promised to let her go shopping with her, and she also had some things she wanted to buy, but when she arrived, Himeko was nowhere to be seen, and now she wasn't answering her phone... Could it be that she was with a man and had forgotten about the person she had arranged to meet?

Probably not. Miss Himeko is a very reliable Valkyrie. There must be a reason for her current behavior. Should I go buy something first? Shen Gonglin is about to take the exam. He just got out of the hospital and needs to be properly nourished. Rita came out today for this reason. Although Mei takes perfect care of him, it's better for me to do this kind of thing. After all, I am the perfect personal maid.

This is the only thing Rita will not back down on; she must make Shen Gonglin admit that she is the perfect maid.

Hmm? Is this... Miss Himeko's car?

Just as Rita was hesitating, the maid inadvertently noticed the red sports car parked by the roadside. Rita was very impressed by the special license plate on it. This was Himeko's car. The fact that the car was parked here meant that she had arrived before her. But where was she? Could it be that she couldn't wait for her and went somewhere to kill time? And in a place like this... it could only be somewhere else.

After a simple deduction, Rita's gaze immediately locked onto the clothing store on the roadside. Rita rarely went to such places, after all, her maid outfit was the most common attire she wore. But that didn't mean Rita didn't like to go shopping; it was a woman's instinct. Miss Himeko might be inside, so she should go in and look for her.

Rita put her phone back in her pocket, crossed her arms, and headed towards the clothing store. She wanted to find Miss Himeko quickly and then go buy groceries. She had already thought of several dishes to prepare for Shen Gonglin. Compared to shopping, taking care of others suited Rita's taste better. In this kind of thing, Rita and Mei might be the same type.

Inside the shop, Shen Gonglin sat on the sofa, contemplating whether she should just slip away. Who knew if Himeko would continue to torment her after she came out? If she continued shopping, she might really become useless. But if she ran away now... well, she couldn't hide forever. Offending this kind of older sister was no good.

"Jingu, are you outside...? What are you doing?"

The fitting room curtain was pulled back, Himeko peeked at Shen Gonglin on the sofa. This guy was so conflicted that he was practically rolling around on the sofa. Himeko was speechless. Was this Shen Gonglin's hobby? It was just like a cat's. To be honest, it was really cute. She couldn't help but want to go over and cuddle him.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking that if a crocodile bites your hand, and you roll faster and faster in the same direction as it rolls, will it break its neck? I wasn't thinking about anything else."

Shen Gonglin was spouting nonsense with his mouth agape. Luckily, he didn't run away, or Himeko would have caught him red-handed. He was just thinking about this serious issue and wasn't thinking about anything else.

"I advise you not to think about this problem anymore. Come here. Instead of wasting time thinking nonsense, I'll find you something meaningful to do. Come here right now."

Chapter 354 Come in

Himeko gently waved to Shen Gonglin, carefully observing her surroundings. This behavior was a little embarrassing, but it was something she had to do. In this situation, she needed Shen Gonglin's help. Anyone with common sense would know what to do now, as this was a plot point that would definitely be triggered when buying clothes.

"What."

With Himeko watching, there was no way to escape, so Shen Gonglin could only dawdle as he walked over. He hadn't expected Himeko to ask him to do anything. Judging from her slightly flushed and hesitant manner, she seemed to be in a situation where she hadn't brought toilet paper.

"Get in here first... Now you understand, right? Help me out, I can't get this up here."

Himeko reached out and pulled Shen Gonglin into the fitting room. A blush crept onto Himeko face as she did this. Thinking about it was one thing, but actually doing it was another. Calm down, this was exactly what she had envisioned. There was nothing to be ashamed of. To speed things up, she needed to do something different. Shen Gonglin's heart must be pounding right now. She had crammed a lot of information beforehand. What else could the fitting room scenario be but this?

Turning her back to Shen Gonglin, Himeko pointed to her back to indicate that many of these clothes had a zipper in the back, or rather, Himeko had deliberately chosen this style so that Shen Gonglin would zip it up for her. Himeko hadn't believed in love at first sight before, but after meeting Shen Gonglin for the first time, Himeko had come to believe. Logically speaking, Shen Gonglin didn't match her previous standards for a partner, but after meeting him, Himeko inexplicably overturned all her previous standards. Now, almost all of her standards were tailor-made for Shen Gonglin. Is this what they call love? It's quite amazing.

For example, her other half must be younger than her, younger in age, and unable to drink alcohol, otherwise how could she get him drunk? He should also be afraid of heights, so that he would seem cute. Ideally, he should have blonde hair and purple eyes, like a doll, so that she could relive the feeling of her childhood. If possible, his name should ideally be Shen Gonglin... Such requirements are not unreasonable, right? And there just happens to be someone who meets all these conditions, so as a mature woman, she must seize this opportunity.

"This... Himeko, I feel you can definitely do it yourself."

Entering the women's fitting room Shen Gonglin didn't feel anything was amiss, as if he had done this kind of thing often before. So Shen Gonglin was completely at ease, grabbing the zipper and helping Himeko pull it up. His fingertips brushed against the smooth skin of Himeko's back without Shen Gonglin feeling anything unusual. After all, this guy had seen it all. He had seen the Class President naked and Kiana taking a bath. How could he possibly get flustered just from touching someone's back? So he simply wanted to help Himeko. This level of effort was no problem for the Valkyrie. Himeko wasn't some old lady with shoulder blades who couldn't lift her arms.

"Being able to do something yourself and having someone else do it for you are two different things. Shen Gonglin, don't you understand that at all... Is it good or not?"

Himeko shook her head, dismissing Shen Gonglin's opinion. This guy's emotional intelligence was truly abysmal. She'd have to add a requirement of low emotional intelligence to her criteria for a partner. Speaking of which, was Shen Gonglin's emotional intelligence really that bad? If not, why were those girls so unclear about him? What was it about him that attracted those girls? Could it be...?

Is it beauty?

Himeko admitted it, but those guys weren't shallow people either, so this issue still needs to be studied. We'll talk about that later. Right now, she needs to let Shen Gonglin check if there's anything wrong with her clothes. She's too lazy to go out anyway, since he'll be the only one looking at her. He'll be the only one looking at her in the fitting room now. Himeko knows Shen Gonglin's aesthetic sense. This guy isn't a complete straight man.

Himeko twirled in front of Shen Gonglin, showing him her red dress. To be honest, the dress was actually quite nice, but Shen Gonglin felt it was still a bit lacking. He stroked his chin, frowned, and carefully examined it. It really didn't suit her; it was only average-looking. Shen Gonglin felt that Himeko should look exceptionally beautiful.

"The waistline isn't quite right, and the skirt hem is a bit off too. More importantly, the design of the bust area seems a bit off. Himeko, you'll probably find it a bit tight when you wear it. Although it might make your chest look bigger, it probably won't be very comfortable... Ouch, Himeko, why did you hit me?"

Shen Gonglin gave his opinion, his gaze fixed on Himeko's chest as he remarked that Himeko had a great figure, and the dress was probably a size too small for her bust. It might fit someone like Rita perfectly, but for Himeko ... he wondered what Durandal would look like in it. The girls there all seemed to have great figures, except for Bronya and the headmistress. As he pondered this, Himeko suddenly raised her hand and tapped Shen Gonglin on the head. This guy was being a bit too outspoken, especially since she was his teacher.

Even if he's looking at you, he should at least be more discreet. That way, I could turn a blind eye and pretend I didn't see him. But Shen Gonglin is practically peeking into my eyes now. How can I pretend I didn't see him? I have to make him pay attention. I can't let Shen Gonglin think I'm some kind of casual woman.

"Give me a little respect for women, but you have a point, this dress is indeed not very comfortable to wear... Let's change into something else."

There were many clothes brought in, and Himeko wasn't expecting to find the perfect outfit in one go... no, she wasn't expecting to pick out a suitable one right away. Since Shen Gonglin said it didn't fit, she would just change into another one. The Valkyrie reached behind her and unzipped her clothes. She was so agile that she didn't need Shen Gonglin's help at all. Seeing that she was about to change Shen Gonglin was also ready to leave. But just then, Himeko stopped Shen Gonglin. This girl still wants to leave? What is she thinking?

"Shen Gonglin, what are you doing out there?"

Himeko called out to Shen Gonglin, but the question left Shen Gonglin completely baffled. Why was she going out? It was as if she shouldn't be going out at all. Wasn't it a problem for her to stay here in this situation?

Chapter 355 Get Out of Here

Should I not go out?

Shen Gonglin looked at Himeko in surprise. What was going on? Did Himeko was open-minded, she wouldn't go to this extent. Shen Gonglin's invitation to stay, but if she insisted, Shen Gonglin felt he could do it too. After all, he had to give Himeko face. Shen Gonglin was Shen Gonglin; he was just that caring towards women.

"If you go out, we'll have to call you back in later, and that won't be good if people misunderstand. So you're staying here, but don't look around, understand?"

Himeko gave this explanation, Shen Gonglin was immediately amazed. What an exquisite reason! Because she was afraid that people would misunderstand her coming and going, she simply stopped letting her out. As expected of Himeko, she is extraordinary as a teacher at Valkyrie Academy. Ordinary people would not think of such a reason. She really couldn't think of any reason to refute it for a moment.

"Okay, I won't look."

Shen Gonglin nodded decisively. Since Himeko had said so, she had to give her face. Besides, what she said made sense. So Shen Gonglin stood there obediently without moving. Obedient and cute were exactly the names that described Shen Gonglin.

"... You should at least try to be a little more embarrassed. I thought you'd try to refuse a bit, but you're really something. Even I wouldn't let you look at me so openly. At least turn around, okay?"

He pressed down on Shen Gonglin's head and turned him around. Himeko, who had been acting quite confidently, suddenly blushed. She had really lost her mind. How could she have made such a suggestion? She had only wanted to show her older sisterly power over a cute little guy like Shen Gonglin, but this guy had actually been quite impolite. This was a bit unexpected for Himeko. The male protagonists in the stories she had read didn't react like this. Shen Gonglin was indeed something else; he couldn't be judged by ordinary standards.

This guy probably won't peek, but if he dares to peek... I'll kill him.

Now that she was in a bind, Himeko had no choice but to bite the bullet and change her clothes. It was alright; this kind of thing could help her get closer to Shen Gonglin. If they were dating, wouldn't this be normal? Lovers were supposed to be all sweet and sour... Come to think of it, she shouldn't have any smell, like a sour smell or anything. She had showered last night, but not today. She'd done a little exercise on the training field; she shouldn't smell...

Himeko wrinkled her nose slightly and sniffed herself. She didn't seem to smell anything, only the scent of shower gel. Was she being too fussy? It was just changing clothes. Valkyrie didn't care so much when changing equipment during battle; it was the same as changing in front of their comrades... Shen Gonglin was also Valkyrie in the battle order, so he was her comrade too. It was no big deal.

Convincing herself this way, Himeko took several deep breaths and began to act. If she acted quickly, even if Shen Gonglin had any ulterior motives, it wouldn't matter. If she just acted fast...

"Hey, speaking of which, I suggest to Himeko- neechan... wow."

Himeko's plan was good, but she hadn't considered the unpredictability of Shen Gonglin. As soon as she took off her skirt, Shen Gonglin turned around. Just kidding, if the meat was offered to him, he would be a fool not to take it. With such an opportunity in front of him, how could Shen Gonglin be as cowardly as a harem-style herbivore male protagonist? Of course, he would take this opportunity to see clearly. Himeko's type was exactly Shen Gonglin's taste. Wouldn't it be a huge loss if he didn't appreciate her carefully?

Shen Gonglin is the kind of person who can only take advantage of others and can't stand being taken advantage of.

This person, this person has to die!

Himeko was utterly mortified and furious at seeing Shen Gonglin's wide-eyed expression. She knew Kiana must have been out of her mind to leave him in her dressing room. All she wanted was to stir up Shen Gonglin's budding youthful Shen Gonglin to know that a good life wasn't just about immature girls like Kiana Fu Hua, but also about mature older sisters like herself. But now Himeko understood. This guy wasn't as innocent as he seemed. Beneath that innocent exterior lurked a heart of a depraved, utterly depraved pervert. This guy deserved to die!

Enraged, Himeko was about to attack Shen Gonglin, but Himeko forgot her current state. The dress bunched up on her legs, restricting her movement. As she lunged forward, Himeko lost her balance and fell down like Shen Gonglin. But how could Shen Gonglin just stand by and watch this happen? Did he really think his title of "friend of women" was a joke?

Are you alright?

With a steady and reliable voice, Shen Gonglin steadied Himeko. In this situation, he should show his mature side as a man. Himeko must have already sensed his reliability. Shen Gonglin had seen this kind of scene in dramas and movies: the female lead falls down, the male lead catches her, and then the two gaze deeply into each other's eyes, thus beginning dozens of episodes of love and hate... Shen Gonglin loved these kinds of dramas the most!

"...I'm fine, but Shen Gonglin, something's wrong with you!"

Contrary to what Shen Gonglin had expected, this heroine wasn't as shy as she was portrayed in dramas. Looking into those red eyes, Shen Gonglin suddenly had the illusion that she was holding a flame. What was going on? Why was Himeko reacting like this? Should she just ignore her and let her fall to the ground? She hadn't expected this girl to look so mature and sophisticated but actually be a masochist. How should she handle this kind of heroine...? It seemed she had no experience in this area.

"Take your hand away!"

Himeko tried to get up from Shen Gonglin, but the skirt wrapped around her feet hindered Himeko movements. The Valkyrie's face grew darker and darker. She squeezed out these words through gritted teeth: This guy is still pretending to be stupid. It's fine for him to support her, but the place he's supporting her is too much. And the key point is that Shen Gonglin's actions and posture are completely subconscious. I really want to bite him to death!

Hands? What's wrong with my own hands? Aren't they placed where they should be? This is the best place to exert force... Wait, they don't seem to be placed here. How did they automatically end up in the right place? These hands... Shen Gonglin admits that she is very envious of her own hands.

Looking at the two soft, white cat paws resting on Himeko's chest, Shen Gonglin nodded to herself, thinking it was worth it.

Chapter 356

Damn it, you're still holding a grudge. Do you really think you wouldn't dare to beat him up? Fu Hua isn't here right now. You can hit him yourself. He won't even have a chance to complain to anyone!

What to do when faced with a bratty kid? This was no problem for Himeko at all. Although she was already in her twenties, Himeko had never been able to have a successful relationship, let alone have such intimate contact with someone. Especially since Shen Gonglin was looking like she was seriously enjoying the feel of her hand. This Himeko really knew how to make people angry. At this moment, she couldn't think of anything else and grabbed Shen Gonglin's arm. You have to know that Himeko was A-rank Valkyrie.

While experiencing the sensation, Shen Gonglin felt a sudden dizziness. When she regained consciousness, she was pinned against the wall of the changing room. Her head hit the wall, making her dizzy. Her hands were locked behind her back. Himeko's restraint technique was no joke. Himeko hadn't had a chance to use this self-defense method since she learned it, but she never expected to use it on Shen Gonglin this time. Die, sister!

With her arm locked, no matter how good Shen Gonglin's physical skills were, he couldn't break free from Himeko's grasp. In terms of strength, he probably couldn't even beat Bronya. After all, according to that emotionless loli's claims, she could strangle an adult's neck with a stocking. So Shen Gonglin was no match for Himeko. A-rank Valkyrie fought on the front lines year-round was not someone that Shen Gonglin, a somewhat inflated S-rank, could contend with. It was just a touch of her breasts, so big that she wouldn't even let him touch them? Himeko was too petty. I never thought she was this kind of person.

"Miss Himeko, are you inside?"

Before Shen Gonglin could struggle, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from outside the fitting room. The unhurried tone made Himeko stiffen. She finally remembered who she had arranged to meet today. As soon as she saw Shen Gonglin, she completely forgot about it. She had stood Rita up... Standing her up was one thing, but how did she end up here, and in this situation?

Outside the fitting room, a maid stood gracefully by the door. As I passed by, I heard noises coming from inside. Judging from the sounds, Himeko was undoubtedly inside. We had agreed to go shopping together. Had something special happened to Miss Himeko that brought her here?

"Rita, help..."

With his hands chained behind his back, Shen Gonglin was in great pain. He opened his mouth to call for help from the maid outside the door, but Himeko quickly covered his mouth and choked him. What was wrong with this guy's brain? How could he let the people outside know what was going on inside, especially this maid who clearly had designs on him? Himeko was right, Shen Gonglin really had very low emotional intelligence. Didn't he think about how embarrassing it would be if he was discovered?

"Hmm? That voice, is it Shingu?"

Rita, standing outside the door, frowned. Why was she hearing Shen Gonglin's voice? Shouldn't it be Himeko inside? Besides, this was the women's clothing fitting area. The maid instinctively reached out to push open the fitting room door. She must have heard correctly; the voice sounded like Shen Gonglin's.

"No, Rita, it's Himeko. Don't come in, I'm trying on clothes."

With one hand gripping Shen Gonglin's neck and the other covering his mouth, while also using her elbows and legs to restrain Himeko Valkyrie Shen Gonglin, used every part of her body to firmly bind Shen Gonglin. Seeing Rita about to push the door open, she quickly blocked it. However, this action only made Rita more confused. That voice was definitely Himeko's, but the previous voice was clearly not hers. That meant there were two people in the dressing room. Could it really be Shen Gonglin?

For example, Himeko saw Shen Gonglin alone on the street and kidnapped him to this place, where she groped him and did whatever she wanted to him in that cramped fitting room... The maid's little head conjured up a movie scene that was at least two hours long. She didn't doubt the reality of this imagination at all. After all, she might actually do it herself, so Himeko's situation... was also very possible.

Rita knew that this woman had been to the police station before for this kind of thing; she had a criminal record.

"Miss Himeko, are there any other people inside? I think I just heard Jingu's voice. May I go in for a moment?"

While speaking politely, the maid had already placed both hands on the door and started pushing it open. This was not the time to adhere to maid etiquette. Her master might be being verbally abused inside, and how could she, as a maid, just stand around doing nothing? At least she should... Ugh, I misspoke. As a maid, she definitely had to go in and save her master. So that's why Himeko stood her up; it turned out she encountered this kind of situation. That made sense.

If it were me, I would do the same.

"Wait, wait a minute, Rita, it's not what you think. Don't come in yet, I'm changing clothes... How could it be Shen Gonglin? It's a shop assistant, she's helping me change."

Himeko desperately braced her back against the door. How could she possibly let Rita in? In her haste, she came up with this excuse. Himeko grabbed Shen Gonglin and released him from her embrace, but the Valkyrie did not let go of Shen Gonglin's neck and mouth. Shen Gonglin, who was enjoying the strange touch on his back, felt a sense of loss. Before he could come to his senses, Himeko leaned in and stared intently into his eyes.

"Hurry up and figure out a way to deal with the women outside, or I'll kneel down right here and now... I'll strangle you and then kill myself, you believe me?"

There was really no other way. This couldn't go on. Rita outside the door was using more and more force. Himeko had no doubt that she would take out a scythe and break down the door in a moment. Don't be fooled by the maid's usual elegant and perfect appearance. She was actually quite reckless and was absolutely capable of doing something like this.

Kneel down on the spot? That's acceptable. Shen Gonglin sized up Himeko in front of him. The Valkyrie's appearance, wearing only underwear, excited him a little. If she were to kneel down in front of him... No, no, that's too monstrous. As everyone knows, Shen Gonglin is a decent person. Moreover, he believes Himeko's threat in the second half more than that. He still needs to live well. As for dying together, he can think about that later.

He gave Himeko a reassuring look, and Himeko smiled with relief. Although she didn't know what Shen Gonglin planned to do, it was good that this girl was willing to cooperate...

"Help, ouch..."

As expected, this girl betrayed her trust once again. As soon as Himeko let go, Shen Gonglin opened her mouth and shouted. This was all Himeko's fault. Shen Gonglin wasn't going to take the blame for her. She was just an innocent victim. Now that the maid was outside, she could just pretend to be weak, innocent, and cute and maybe even get some benefits. Only a fool would cooperate with Himeko. Was Shen Gonglin stupid?

He's clearly not stupid.

"You, you, you..."

Himeko grabbed Shen Gonglin by the neck and shook him violently. Couldn't this guy just act like the male lead? In this situation, he should be on the same side as her and deal with Rita outside. But instead, all Shen Gonglin was thinking about was how to trick her. What good would it do him to trick her? Or was this just his hobby? Whatever, if she died, she would drag him down with her. They would both die a social death together!

With a doomed mentality, Himeko grabbed Shen Gonglin's clothes and ripped them off. How could he wear clothes when she wasn't? This guy couldn't possibly stay out of it. Didn't he want Rita to come in and save him? Himeko wanted to see what Rita would think when she came in and saw this scene. Himeko was going to give up! Come on, Shen Gonglin, you come too.

"Wait, wait a minute, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Give me a chance, if I have the chance, I want to be a good person..."

It seemed like things had gone a bit too far. Looking at Himeko's bloodshot eyes, Shen Gonglin suddenly realized this. If he continued playing around, he might be in for a world of hurt. His clothes had already been torn to shreds by Himeko. Only then did Shen Gonglin feel scared. Although he was used to courting death, he wasn't used to seeking it. This Valkyrie clearly wanted him dead. This wouldn't do.

"Um... cough cough, please wait a moment, our guests outside. We'll be right there."

Shen Gonglin cleared his throat and adjusted his voice. When he opened his mouth again, it was a slightly hoarse female voice. Changing his voice was not difficult for him, but Rita did not know this skill. She was about to break down the door, but when she heard the voice inside, Rita stopped. This was obviously not Shen Gonglin's voice. Could it be that she had really heard wrong?

"I see. I was being presumptuous. I thought something had happened to you, Miss Himeko."

Despite these thoughts, Rita simply stopped banging on the door. She stood straight and motionless at the door of the fitting room. Some things she could only be at ease with by seeing them with her own eyes. She would stay here and watch over the maid. The maid had to know the truth.

"Phew... I finally got away with it, but what's next? Shen Gonglin, do you have the ability to travel through space and bring someone else here?"

Listening intently to the sounds outside, Himeko breathed a slight sigh of relief. Knowing Rita as she did, she was certain the maid was guarding the door. She couldn't hide forever. Himeko looked at Shen Gonglin and asked the question out of the blue. After all, this girl seemed to be quite omnipotent, capable of doing anything. If she hadn't seen the female voice with her own eyes, she would never have believed it came from Shen Gonglin. This girl was too strong! If she could do something like that, then maybe she could do space travel and transformation too?

"What do you think I am? How could I possibly do something like that? Himeko, I suggest you turn yourself in. If you do, you might get a suspended death sentence. I'll bring the Class President and the others to visit you during every holiday."

Rubbing his neck, Shen Gonglin looked at Himeko with a hint of schadenfreude. Although he had temporarily stalled her, the maid was guarding outside. Given her personality, she would never leave unless Honkai happened outside. And they couldn't stay in the fitting room forever, so it seemed like a dead end. He didn't care, though. Rita wouldn't kill him anyway; he was just an innocent victim. Maybe he could even get some comfort from the maid, both physically and emotionally. Sounds alright.

"Confess? What nonsense are you talking about? My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. There is never an impossible mission, there is never a dead end. Never give up hope. This is the first principle I taught you as your teacher. Let me think... Shen Gonglin, I'm pregnant!"

How could she simply accept her fate? There might have been an explanation at first, but now Himeko knows she has no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end. Fortunately, she's not alone; she has Shen Gonglin accompanying her. Having an accomplice is really great... although the reason she has no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end is also because of this accomplice.

She racked her brains for a solution; sitting idly by was not in Himeko's nature. But when she saw the pile of Western-style dresses next to her, Himeko eyes lit up. Wasn't this a solution? With Shen Gonglin's looks, her own makeup skills, his unparalleled voice imitation technique, and all these other things, there was absolutely no problem.

"What? You're pregnant? Tell me, whose is it? It can't be Theresa's, can it? Has St. Freya's technology developed to this level? I knew there was a reason why the headmaster made St. Freya an all-girls school. So that's what you two were up to. By the way, why you and not Theresa? I feel like a loli getting pregnant is more interesting."

Their thought processes were clearly on completely different levels. Himeko was stunned for a while before she realized what Shen Gonglin was talking about. How did Shen Gonglin's brain work? Why did he always think of things that normal people wouldn't? And this guy's thoughts were quite dangerous; he didn't even intend to spare Theresa, a pregnant loli and all that...

Shen Gonglin isn't even human.
