Didn't She Stop You to Ask Something?

"No need!"

Chu He almost roared it, his voice decisive.

What a joke!

He still had to hand in homework to Xia Yao when he got back, and have her help him wash up. Who knew what kind of trouble this seductive loli, fierce as a wolf, would cause.

If he returned completely drained, and Xia Yao's eyes swept over him, nothing would be hidden. That would truly be the end!

The sound of splashing water echoed in the silent, starry bedroom.

Chu He stood with his back to Kachi, his entire body taut like a drawn bowstring, his movements as stiff as a puppet's.

He could feel her gaze behind him, like a burning heat, roaming his back, making him feel like a thorn in his side, the hairs on his neck standing on end.

Meanwhile, Kachi lay comfortably on the bed, propping up her delicate chin with both hands, her two fair, short legs kicking joyfully in the air.

Her eyes, like galaxies, smiled like crescent moons, openly admiring the "handsome man emerging from his bath" before her.

Shame, anger, but also helplessness.

He couldn't beat her, he couldn't escape her. His newly acquired spatial abilities were like showing off to an expert in front of her.

Chu He could only curse the entire ancestry of this strange loli in his heart.

Fortunately, the entire process was surprisingly "smooth." Kachi didn't suddenly pounce on him as he had feared.

Under Kachi's scorching gaze the entire time, Chu He dressed at the fastest speed of his life, took a deep breath, turned around, and tried his best to keep his voice calm and steady: "Now, can I leave?"

"Sure!" Kachi floated lightly off the bed, smiling as she pointed to the small door, "Go ahead, twist it open, and you'll be outside."

Chu He walked to the door, half-believing, half-doubting. The moment his hand grasped the doorknob, his heart leaped into his throat.

"Click."

The door opened.

Outside the door was the familiar library information desk.

Chu He's heart leaped with joy, and just as he was about to step through, his body suddenly froze.

A clear, distinct sensation came from his buttocks. A warm, small hand pinched him, not too hard, not too light, with a bit of bounce.

He whipped his head around, but there was no one behind him!

He looked back at the bed, and Kachi was standing there elegantly, her small hand making a grasping motion in the air, a mischievous grin on her face: "Why aren't you leaving yet? Can't bear to part with me? It felt good, Little He He."

Chu He's gaze followed her hand's movement to his own body and he instantly understood!

This crazy girl had used her spatial abilities to grope him!

"Farewell!"

Chu He's face turned beet red. He couldn't care about his dignity anymore, practically scrambling out of the door and disappearing without a trace.

Behind him, Kachi's clear, unrestrained laughter, like silver bells, echoed.

Chu He, having rushed out of the room, immediately looked at the antique wall clock.

3:41.

He remembered that it was around this time when Kachi had pulled him into the room.

As expected, the flow of time in that room was completely different from the outside.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to worry about being gone too long and not being able to explain to Xia Yao.

And at the same moment he walked out of the library, the Dragon Country live stream, which had been black for over half an hour, finally lit up!

"Holy crap! It's on, it's on! My eyes are about to turn into cataracts!"

"He's back! My dear God Chu is finally back! What happened just now? The screen's been black since God Chu entered that door!"

"It was black for over half an hour! The officials need to explain, was there something that even our esteemed VIP users couldn't see?"

"Brother upstairs, don't worry, look at God Chu's lips, they're a little red and swollen! This must have been an intense battle!"

"What kind of battle makes your lips dry and swollen? I think it was a battle of wits! That silver-haired loli said the dream felt very real, I get it, I get it!"

Chu He, walking out of the library, let out a long sigh of relief, feeling like he had just escaped a bizarre and fantastical nightmare.

But in his mouth, there seemed to linger a trace of sweet and sour taste that even he couldn't quite detect.

"Damn pervert!"

Chu He instinctively touched his butt, his face instantly darkening like the bottom of a pot.

He'd remember this grudge!

He steadied himself, suppressing the extraneous thoughts in his heart, and his gaze fell on the distant sports field.

He had to try out his new ability!

He concentrated, locking onto the sports field in his mind, and mobilized that unfamiliar power.

Space Manipulation, Teleportation!

Buzz!

Chu He's figure instantly vanished from his spot.

The next second, he appeared a hundred meters away, much closer to the sports field.

Before he could even get excited, a wave of immense fatigue washed over him, instantly draining the little energy he had left. His legs buckled, and he fell to one knee on the ground.

"So... so tired..."

Chu He gasped for air, his face turning pale.

After being tormented by that crazy girl Kachi in the room for so long, his stamina was already depleted. Now, forcibly activating such a high-consumption ability made his body protest immediately.

And this earth-shattering display of his once again sent the Dragon Country live stream into a frenzy!

"Am I blind?! What just happened? God Chu just appeared a hundred meters away!"

"Teleportation! It's Teleportation! This is a space ability!"

"It's confirmed! During the black screen period, God Chu must have kissed that silver-haired loli!"

"Otherwise, how could such a heaven-defying ability appear out of nowhere! My god, God Chu, you're the real Anomaly!"

"One SSS-Class per day! Yesterday it was School Belle Xia Yao, today it's the library loli! God Chu, are you still looking for a hanger-on? One that can shout '666'!"

Chu He rested his knees for a while before he could barely recover.

He estimated that the time was about right and, despite his fatigue, returned to the Principal's Office.

As he pushed the door open, a graceful figure rushed towards him like a gust of wind, carrying a familiar, cool fragrance, and hugged him tightly.

It was Xia Yao.

Chu He's heart warmed, but he felt even more guilty. He could even feel his arms, holding Xia Yao, growing weak.

He gently patted her back, held her close, and sat down on the sofa.

"It's okay, I'm back."

He cleared his throat and began to report the situation, of course, omitting the beginning and end, only focusing on the highlights.

"Your best friend, it turns out, used an illusion for the test."

Chu He vividly described the thirty years in the dreamscape. He deliberately exaggerated the warmth of the family, spoke of their married life, and of their exquisitely carved, yet equally domineering, young daughter.

"She even fought with you for me, hanging on me every day, saying 'Daddy is mine' and telling you to go away."

Xia Yao was overjoyed upon hearing this, even showing a hint of longing.

She seemed very satisfied with this "future."

Seeing this, Chu He felt a little relieved and was about to get away with it.

Suddenly, Xia Yao seemed to remember something. The smile on her face instantly froze, replaced by immense shame and indignation.

"Kachi's ability... is to see everything that happens in a dream."

"We're finished. She must have seen everything. With me there, she definitely wouldn't have blinked while watching your dream!"

"She might have even recorded it."

"Didn't she stop you and ask some... questions she was interested in?"

Upon hearing this, Chu He's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face froze completely.

This is bad!
