Living with a girl?

Therefore, aside from the breakthrough in Spirit Power, Spirit Rings were completely dispensable to An Zhen.

"I see."

Sitting on An Zhen's lap, the loli wore a thoughtful expression, her two small feet clad in white silk stockings swinging gently in the air. Huo Yutong felt as if she were in a lucid dream like the ones her mother used to tell her about, where a person could do anything they wished.

However, she was more concerned about something else now. "Then, is Big Brother An Zhen's kindness toward me truly out of the goodness of his heart?"

"Not entirely."

A bad person, then...

Her deep blue eyes dimmed slightly, as if they had lost their luster. The little loli jumped from An Zhen's lap to the ground. "Thank you for your help earlier, classmate An Zhen. Once I return, I will return your things. Whatever reward or anything else you want, I will repay you."

An Zhen didn't speak; he rested his chin on one hand, watching the loli's retreating figure.

Before long, a portal of light opened beside An Zhen. The loli, who was walking with her head down in low spirits, bumped straight into An Zhen's arms.

"Still haven't figured it out?"

Sighing helplessly, An Zhen gently tapped the center of the loli's forehead. In his world, where could this little girl possibly go?

Amidst the loli's bewildered gaze, a pair of arms pulled her directly into an embrace. The scent of the opposite sex instantly overwhelmed Huo Yutong's senses. "When a boy is very good to a girl of the same age, what do you think his intentions are?"

"?"

The loli was confused.

(°△°|||)

The loli was shocked.

"(//▽//)"

The loli was shy.

It couldn't be... it couldn't be the situation she was thinking of, could it?

She quietly raised her flushed little face, meeting a pair of eyes filled with smiles, and the timid little deer instantly lowered her head again.

"Has Yutong never encountered this kind of thing before? Generally speaking, a boy treating a girl to a meal for no reason is equivalent to expressing his affection for her."

If An Zhen had said this at this age in his previous life, he would certainly have been lectured by both sets of parents.

However, on this Romance Continent, it was perfectly normal—equivalent to puppy love in high school in his previous life.

"N-no."

"Oh, then it seems I acted quickly. In that case, this cute girl belongs to me."

What is even going on?

A fair, petite hand pushed against An Zhen's chest. Beneath her flushed cheeks was a sense of bewilderment, her mind a complete mess.

Huo Yutong longed for the kind of love that Teacher Xiao Ya and the Eldest Senior Brother spoke of. But the sudden intimacy and the affection from someone else had thrown the loli, who had never encountered such things before, into a panic.

"I'm sorry, Big Brother An Zhen. I don't know how to respond to you, but I don't want to accept your kindness for nothing. I will definitely pay you back." Standing on the floor, the loli said with a serious tone. Furthermore, she didn't feel there was anything about her worth liking.

Having figured out the reason, she unconsciously reverted to her original form of address, yet Huo Yutong still intended to refuse his kindness.

"That's fine." An Zhen nodded and agreed directly.

A self-respecting and independent loli is wonderful.

But just because you don't accept it doesn't mean I can't treat you.

"However, I do have some questions." An Zhen sat on the bed, a look of confusion appearing on his youthful face. "Why did little Yutong disguise yourself as a boy to come to Shrek Academy?"

"I..."

The loli was momentarily speechless.

"It's okay." An Zhen shook his head gently. "Everyone has their own secrets. I'm not the type to pry."

"But coming to Shrek Academy, little Yutong must be doing it to become stronger, right? And if you get a roommate later, it will definitely be very inconvenient."

"Mm."

The loli nodded earnestly. "If a new roommate comes, I plan to sleep fully clothed every day."

"But that will still be inconvenient in the end. I have a proposal: you can move into my dormitory. Actually, I intended to tell you during the day, but I couldn't find a suitable reason at the time and was afraid of being misunderstood by little Yutong."

An Zhen remembered that in the original work, Wang Dong only arrived on the second day after Huo Yuhao. But with his interference, he didn't know if they would still end up in the same room. If they were, then so be it.

"Share a room with Big Brother An Zhen?"

For some reason, Huo Yutong suddenly recalled the doll that looked exactly like her, as well as the moment she was held in Big Brother An Zhen's arms, her white-stockinged feet pressed against his chin, and this strange outfit she was wearing.

According to what Big Brother An Zhen said, her body here was equivalent to that doll. Could it be that Big Brother An Zhen found out her gender through that method!

"Big Brother An Zhen wouldn't do anything strange to Yutong, right?" The loli accepted the way An Zhen addressed her.

"Of course. That was just a doll before. As for the real Yutong, without Yutong's permission, I will absolutely never do anything out of line."

"Then Yutong agrees."

Huo Yutong decided to agree. Although Big Brother An Zhen had pressed her feet against his chin earlier and put this strange outfit on the doll, Big Brother An Zhen was a good person.

"Great!"

"Since that's the case, let's practice meditation. My Martial Soul has the ability to accelerate cultivation."
