After bathing, Huo Yuhao opened the dormitory window to air the room out, then washed the floor with water. Only after mopping it several times did he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Huo Yuhao checked on Wang Dong again and found that her pretty face had regained its fair color. Her breathing was merely a little rapid, and an enticing soft moan occasionally escaped her lips. Her legs were tightly pressed together, twitching from time to time. Wouldn't those soaking-wet pants clinging to her legs feel uncomfortable?
He wondered if she would be too ashamed to face anyone when she woke up and found her pants wet.
Hearing another soft moan from Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao sighed. What a suffering she was going through!
With a grim expression, he carried Wang Dong into the bathroom, filled a bucket with water, and splashed the entire thing over her.
"Ah! Huo Yuhao, stop it!" Wang Dong instinctively shouted the moment she woke up with water poured over her head.
Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, but he said nothing. The main reason was that Wang Dong was currently dressed as a boy and speaking in a boy's voice. Hearing it gave him chills.
Once she was awake, Wang Dong looked around in confusion. Then she saw Huo Yuhao standing at the bathroom entrance with a bucket in hand, smiling brightly at her. Looking down at her soaking-wet state, how could Wang Dong not understand what had happened?
"Ah! Bastard, I'll kill you!" Startled awake while still dazed, Wang Dong's anger surged. She summoned the Clear Sky Hammer and swung it at Huo Yuhao, who took a step back and quickly pulled the bathroom door shut.
With a boom, a large hole was smashed through the door. Taking advantage of that brief obstruction, Huo Yuhao swiftly retreated into the dormitory, shut the door, and smiled at the furious Wang Dong outside on the balcony.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Wang Dong pounded hard on the door. "Open the door!"
"Nope. Go ahead and smash it if you want, but breaking a door means paying five hundred Gold Soul Coins in compensation. The school would love to have more suckers like you." Huo Yuhao cheerfully watched the furious Wang Dong. Teasing this girl was truly interesting; Huo Yuhao was enjoying the long-lost pleasure of crushing someone with superior intelligence.
Wang Dong's raised fist froze in midair. She could neither strike nor lower it, and her face turned red.
She was not short on five hundred Gold Soul Coins, but if she smashed it, wouldn't that be admitting she was a sucker? Besides, her morning temper was gradually fading, and reason was slowly taking the high ground again.
After calming down, Wang Dong gave a soft snort. "Huo Yuhao, open the door. I won't hit you."
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao opened the door and let her in.
Without even looking at Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong walked past him, puffed up her cheeks, took out her bathing supplies from her luggage, then went over to him. Turning her head away and refusing to look at the face that irritated her, she muttered, "Can you go outside for a while? I want to take a bath."
Huo Yuhao was not angered by her attitude. "You know, you look exactly like a little girl throwing a tantrum at her father."
Wang Dong swiftly turned around and glared at Huo Yuhao. "Who are you calling a little girl?"
"Whoever resembles one is the one I'm talking about." Huo Yuhao gave Wang Dong a thoughtful look, making her feel inexplicably uneasy.
"Say, you haven't forgotten that you lost our bet, have you? According to the wager, you'll have to listen to me from now on. Or are you planning to go back on your word?" Huo Yuhao stared at Wang Dong.
"W-Who said I was going back on my word? You haven't even asked me to do anything." Wang Dong argued.
"Besides, you cheated. I don't know what evil ability you used to make me, make me—"
Remembering what had happened, Wang Dong's legs went weak again, and mist filled her eyes. Shame surged into her heart, leaving her unable to continue.
"Anyway, you cheated! I want another match, a proper, fair fight!" Wang Dong simply shut her eyes, lifted her chin, and declared stubbornly.
Huo Yuhao's smile vanished. Crossing his arms, he said expressionlessly, "So you're still not planning to honor the bet?"
That sensation still lingered in Wang Dong's mind. She quickly glanced at Huo Yuhao's hands and shrank back a little, though her tone remained firm. "Of course I keep my word. We'll compete again. If I win, that bet is void. If you win—"
Apparently unable to think of any stakes, Wang Dong raised her head and said in resignation, "Just tell me what you want."
"You'll agree to anything I want?" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow.
Wang Dong hesitated for a long time before mumbling, "I'm a boy anyway. What can you possibly do to me?"
Huo Yuhao resumed his smiling expression and frightened Wang Dong with a tease. "Could it be that you were right when you called me a pervert? What if I really am a pervert who likes boys? Looking like you do, you're prettier than most girls!"
Huo Yuhao swept his gaze over Wang Dong from head to toe with ill intent, clicking his tongue as he appraised her.
Wang Dong's face went pale. She retreated several steps to the spot furthest from Huo Yuhao in the room and said fiercely despite her fear, "I'm warning you, don't try anything! I'm the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect. My First Father and Second Father are both Titled Douluo. If you do anything to me, you're dead!"
Huo Yuhao curled his lip. "You're no fun to tease. Fine, I was just scaring you. Look how frightened you are."
"I accept your wager. We'll have a match tomorrow. As for the stakes, I haven't thought of them yet. Just consider it one condition you owe me. I'll collect when I decide what I want."
Having been toyed with, Wang Dong puffed up again. Looking at her bulging cheeks, Huo Yuhao thought she resembled a pufferfish.
It was almost time to eat, so Huo Yuhao planned to check out Shrek Academy's cafeteria and take a look around Shrek Academy while he was at it.
Before leaving, Huo Yuhao called to Wang Dong, who was still hesitating over whether to bathe. "If you're going to bathe, hurry up. I'm going to eat. If you still aren't done when I get back, don't go throwing another young lady tantrum!"
"You're the one throwing young lady tantrums!" Wang Dong shouted toward the door, only to find that Huo Yuhao was already nowhere in sight.
After standing there blankly for a while, Wang Dong finally remembered to bathe. She had not noticed while arguing with that awful guy, but now she only felt thoroughly uncomfortable from being soaking wet.
When she thought of Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong first felt embarrassed. The scene from her dream had truly been too shameful.
After spacing out for a while, the embarrassment in her heart faded. When she thought of Huo Yuhao again, her teeth itched, and she wanted to rush over and beat him up immediately. However, she would not have to wait long. Tomorrow, she could give him a proper beating.
Seemingly imagining herself beating Huo Yuhao senseless, Wang Dong smiled until her eyes curved into crescents.
But as she thought further, Wang Dong's delicate brows furrowed in worry.
What strange ability had that guy used today? The moment he touched her, her whole body went weak and she lost control of herself, even having strange dreams. If he used that ability tomorrow, she would embarrass herself before everyone.
Just recalling that feeling made Wang Dong's entire body burn. She hurriedly lowered the shower temperature to calm herself down.
Aside from that strange display today, she should not have embarrassed herself in front of anyone else, right? Wang Dong was not certain. At the time, her mind had been muddled, and she could not remember anything clearly.
It seemed she had made a girl's voice?
I wasn't exposed, was I? Wang Dong broke out in a cold sweat. Thinking carefully about Huo Yuhao's behavior today, it seemed she really might have been exposed.
She was not sure. She would observe a little longer.
Wang Dong made her decision.
After bathing, Wang Dong continued arranging her luggage, then climbed onto her bed. She would rest for a while; she was rather tired.
However, when she saw the patch of water stains on her bedding, Wang Dong frowned. Could that guy have done this too?
Wang Dong's Jade Nose sniffed lightly. Why did this smell seem wrong?
Then, lightning flashed through her mind. She remembered!
Wang Dong buried her head in the blanket, feeling too ashamed to face anyone. How could she, how could she—
That guy did not think she had wet the bed, did he? That was too humiliating. No wonder he had woken her by splashing water over her.
Wang Dong found an empty Space Soul Guidance Device and stuffed her bedding and the clothes she had been wearing into it.
She planned to destroy all the evidence when she had the chance.
As for how she would face Huo Yuhao in the future, Wang Dong was already considering whether she should change back into girls' clothes, pick a new name, and enroll at Shrek Academy again—as though the boy Wang Dong had never existed.
