Honkai Impact

"Cough, cough!"

Seeing that Ling Feng didn't respond, Mei coughed lightly and said, "Well, no matter what, you've worked hard lately, so this is just compensation. Besides, don't all men like this?"

When she said the last sentence, Mei asked it as a question, looking at Ling Feng with curiosity...

"Uh..."

Ling Feng seemed hesitant. What Mei said seemed right, but... but...

He didn't know why he was hesitating, nor did he know what he wanted to say. It was purely... he didn't know why...

"If you don't want to, then forget it..."

Mei's gaze shifted slightly. This young lady has been so generous and proactive in letting you come up, and you're still hesitating? It's like I'm begging you. Don't I have any pride?

"Wait, I want to!"

What a joke! Ling Feng certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity. He immediately charged forward, then turned, and finally landed his head on Mei's lap. His movements were as smooth as a well-behaved puppy, and...

Mei's lap was soft and warm, and it felt so comfortable...

Mei lowered her head slightly, quietly watching Ling Feng. This feeling of her lap being pressed down was somewhat strange, and also...

Because she was wearing a skirt, she could clearly feel Ling Feng's hair and his breathing. The touch on her lap was a little ticklish!

"You've worked hard, Ling Feng!"

Mei placed her hand on Ling Feng's head and gently stroked it. I wonder if this counts as a head pat...

"Mei..."

Ling Feng suddenly flipped over to face upwards, wanting to look at Mei and talk to her, but...

What has blinded my eyes?

When Ling Feng looked up, he found that he couldn't see Mei's face. The only thing he could see was the majestic Twin Peaks of Everest. This girl's combat power was real combat power, the ceiling of combat power in the class!

"What's wrong?"

Mei asked softly!

"Nothing..."

Because of the influence of Mount Everest, Ling Feng completely forgot what he wanted to say. He flipped over again to lie on his side and smiled, "Thank you, Mei. This is very comfortable!"

"Heh heh!"

Hearing Ling Feng's words, Mei felt very satisfied and smiled, "As long as you feel comfortable... So, shall I start the massage?"

At the same time, Mei gently slid her left hand over Ling Feng's eyes, making him close them. Her right hand gently massaged his hair, her movements light and gentle, as if she were coaxing a child...

After that, Mei placed her hands on Ling Feng's temples and began to gently knead them, her movements still light and slow!

And so, time slowly passed...

Originally, Ling Feng just wanted to lie down for a bit and enjoy the moment. But under such gentle treatment, coupled with the accumulated fatigue from the day, he finally couldn't help but fall asleep...

And he fell asleep very peacefully, lying on his wife Mei's lap, very comfortable and very secure...

A while later, feeling Ling Feng's steady breathing and movements, Mei realized that Ling Feng had fallen asleep. She stopped what she was doing but had no intention of leaving. She continued to sit like this, not playing with her phone, just quietly spacing out...

Competing in patience? I'm not afraid of anyone...

Kiana, sitting nearby, couldn't help but watch the two of them. In her heart... she felt a little envious. Envious that Ling Feng could sleep on Mei's lap. She hadn't even tried it herself yet. She wondered if she would have the chance in the future...

"Kiana!"

Perhaps sensing Kiana peeking, Mei suddenly called out to Kiana...

"Huh? Me... Mei!"

Kiana quickly replied...

"Be quiet..."

Mei made a shushing gesture, then looked at Bronya and said, "Kiana, Bronya, come here. Tomorrow is Saturday. I have something to tell you..."

Then, the two of them moved closer, and Mei explained her thoughts, this and that...

"This... I don't object, but is one day really enough?"

Kiana didn't refuse, but she seemed hesitant, as she seriously doubted whether Mei's plan could really be accomplished in the time she mentioned...

"One day might not be enough, but two days should be fine!"

Mei continued, looking at Bronya, "With Bronya's skills, it shouldn't be difficult to find a suitable place. Bronya, you'll be responsible for finding a suitable location for us. As for the rest, Kiana and I will handle it!"

"Bronya refuses!"

Bronya said while opening the computer of Project Bunny, "For something like this, everyone should do it together. If we find a place, I remember that Idiot Na and Mei-jie can both sing, so... there's a place here that fits our requirements!"

Chapter 47: Will a quick kiss go unnoticed?

Ling Feng didn't know when he fell asleep or how he got back to his room, but it was probably thanks to Project Bunny...

When he woke up, it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning. This feeling of sleeping until he woke up naturally was truly great, except his stomach was a little hungry...

He rolled over and got up, then came to the living room downstairs. However, he didn't see anyone, only a note on the table. Judging by the handwriting, it was Mei's!

[Ling Feng, if you're seeing this, then Kiana, Bronya, and I have gone to Shanghai on business. We'll be back around evening, but it's not a mission, so don't worry. There's breakfast in the microwave. For lunch, please eat at the academy cafeteria. I'll make dinner tonight. - Mei!]

"Gone to Shanghai..."

Looking at Mei's message, Ling Feng felt a little curious. They went to Shanghai without a mission? Were they going shopping? Probably not... If they were going shopping, they would have brought him along. Plus, with Team 233's budget, shopping would be really dangerous...

Ah well, he'd stop thinking about them. It was the weekend anyway, and...

Last night...

Damn it, wasn't he just lying on Mei's lap? How did he fall asleep so inexplicably? It was over before he could even properly enjoy it. Ugh, he felt like he'd lost more than a hundred million...

But... Long live the lap pillow! He wondered if he'd get another chance tonight...

He took the breakfast Mei had prepared from the microwave. It was practically lunchtime by now, but the taste hadn't changed much. It was still as delicious as ever...

Afterward, Ling Feng went to Tesla's laboratory to help her research Stigmata. He also got lunch there, but Tesla's lunch was delivered from the academy cafeteria, and it wasn't as good as Mei's cooking!

At the same time, Ling Feng used some of the knowledge and principles he knew to help Tesla solve some theoretical problems. They modified the design for the Valkyrie Armor together and started preparing to create imitation artifacts!

Because Tesla already knew the principles of Stigmata and had a good understanding of the materials, it was almost time to start experiments. He might not be able to handle the power of a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, and there wasn't a core for a Judgment-class Honkai Beast here, but...

He had cores from low-level Honkai Beasts! From Rush-type all the way up to Emperor-class, and even one Emperor-class Honkai Beast core. For now, he'd start by testing the waters with a Rush-type Honkai Beast core. It was common stuff anyway!

After hanging around Tesla's place for half the day, Ling Feng finally returned to the apartment. It was almost six o'clock, but the three girls still hadn't returned. He wondered what they were doing...

"Ah well... I'll just take a nap..."

Since all three of them were still out, Ling Feng felt bored. He might as well take a nap and play with them later tonight. If there was another lap pillow tonight, he definitely wouldn't fall asleep again. Never!

He returned to his room, closed the door, and went to sleep!

"Whoo... Mei, I'm hungry..."

In the evening, the three of them finally returned. Kiana looked listless and collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to move. As expected, compared to studying and working, she found fighting Honkai Beasts much easier...

"Alright, Kiana, stop complaining. I'll prepare dinner right away!"

Mei gently stroked Kiana's head, chuckling like she was coaxing a child. "No matter what, we had great gains today, and we achieved our goal. It's also thanks to Bronya for finding such a good place!"

"It was just a coincidence. Without Sister Mei and you idiot, we wouldn't have been able to do it so quickly!" Bronya remained expressionless, taking out her phone to play games as soon as they got back to the apartment...

Then, Mei began preparing dinner, while Kiana and Bronya ate candy and played games. After a hard day's work, it was time to reward themselves!

And it was strawberry-flavored candy!

Before long, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen. Mei called out from the kitchen, "Kiana, dinner's almost ready. Where's Ling Feng? Is he still in his room?"

"Probably... I'll go call him!"

Smelling the aroma of dinner, Kiana couldn't hold back any longer and headed upstairs to call Ling Feng for dinner. However, when she opened the door, she found Ling Feng still sleeping...

Kiana: "..."

"Honestly, we worked hard outside all day, and you're just sleeping at home..." Kiana pouted slightly and walked to the bedside, intending to wake Ling Feng with a playful nudge. But...

As she got closer, Kiana unconsciously squatted down and carefully observed Ling Feng's sleeping face. He was so quiet when he slept, and...

Kiana remembered the scene of Ling Feng sleeping on Mei's lap last night and thought about the kiss between Ling Feng and Mei that day. A kiss... what did it feel like?

Kiana felt a pang of regret. If she hadn't resisted that day, perhaps Mei's first kiss would have been hers. Instead, Ling Feng got the advantage in the end. Damn it...

But...

Kiana glanced around. No one was there. Good. Then, she secretly leaned her head closer...

"What should I do? Ling Feng..."

Kiana lowered her head slightly, bringing her face closer and closer to Ling Feng's. "I... I think I..."

She closed her eyes slightly, then moved her nose closer to Ling Feng's face...

Finally, she carefully placed her lips on Ling Feng's lips...

The feeling of a kiss... it was just like this, nothing strange. But...

Her body felt a little numb, and there was an indescribable emotion. Joy? Happiness?

Neither seemed right. It was more like a sense of relief from satisfying her curiosity. And... wasn't this an indirect kiss with Mei? Even though it had been five days...

Since it was her first kiss, her movements were very stiff, and she didn't know any other steps. She only knew to press her lips against his, and that was it. But for her, it was enough...

A moment later, Kiana quietly pulled her head back, touching her lips with her right hand, her mind in a daze... Wait, what was I just doing? No, no, that wasn't me. I must have been half-asleep...

Kiana shook her head vigorously, trying to clear her head...

This, this must be kept a secret. If anyone found out, if anyone at all knew, she would feel like dying. And what just happened was definitely an accident. It was purely out of curiosity that she kissed him, definitely not because she liked him! Yes, that's it!

Kiana nodded hard, trying to convince herself that this was the truth, and then... she saw Mei standing at the doorway, holding a kitchen knife...

Kiana: "???"

Chapter 48: This is about a friend of mine!

"Huh? This... is this really for me?"

In the living room, Ling Feng looked at the brand-new mobile phone on the table, feeling a bit disbelieving!

"Of course it's real! Kiana, Bronya, and I picked it out for you ourselves!"

Mei smiled gently, "And don't worry, we didn't use the team's funds. We earned this by working a day in Shanghai!"

"Uh... you really went through all that trouble for me!"

At this moment, Ling Feng knew what the three of them had been doing that day. He felt deeply touched and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mei, Kiana, and Bronya!"

"You don't need to thank us, it's just a small token of our appreciation!"

Mei smiled faintly, not saying anything more.

"Um... N-no need to thank us..."

Kiana, blushing slightly, turned her head away and huffed, "Consider this as payment for imprinting the Stigmata for us. Besides, you've given me gifts before. I'm not someone who only takes and never gives!"

"This was easy for Bronya!"

Bronya remained expressionless, her poker face making Ling Feng feel a little regretful. Such a cute girl, why did she have no emotions...

"By the way, Mei, where did you guys work? Can a day's wages really buy a phone like this?"

Looking at the phone in his hand, Ling Feng didn't recognize the brand, but when he turned it on, he saw a Hutao logo. And knowing miHoYo's usual style, this phone was definitely not cheap!

"It's a secret..."

Mei smiled. Seeing Ling Feng still wanting to ask, she placed a finger on his lips. "Assistant, prying too much into a girl's secrets isn't very nice. Just know that we didn't break any laws, it's all perfectly legal!"

Ling Feng: "..."
