Chapter 115
After all, Chihiro had worked with everyone all day to build the campsite, so it was perfectly normal for her to rest early because she was tired.
Can anyone tell me why I can hear two different breaths coming from beside me?
As he approached the bedroom, his barely concealed nervousness grew increasingly pronounced.
With his superhuman senses, Aragaki Shun could even faintly hear the stimulating heartbeat coming from the bed.
The key point is that these commotions clearly came from two different people.
Secretly admiring Chihiro's thoughtfulness, Aragaki Shun pretended to know nothing, lifted the covers, and pressed himself down on her.
"Ah~"
Ignoring the suppressed gasps of surprise emanating from him, the boy had only one thought at that moment.
That is, Wang Meiyu looks petite, but she's actually surprisingly well-endowed...
184. A Night of Three; Kobashi Yume and Amikura Mako
What is the meaning of life?
As he released Wang Meiyu, who looked somewhat tired from her recent injury, a question suddenly arose in Aragaki Shun's mind.
Then, in the next moment, Shiranami Chihiro, who was lying behind him, decisively took over the main battlefield. The girl's impatient enthusiasm directly burned away those irrelevant philosophical thoughts.
"Yay!"
Suddenly feeling a pressure from behind, Wang Meiyu instinctively let out a soft cry.
But when she saw that it was Chihiro on top of her, the blue-haired girl had no further objections. Instead, she considerately raised her hands and gently hugged her, letting her best friend's soft body sway against her.
Yes! They are her best friends! Absolutely her best friends for life!
Even before today, when the two had barely spoken, Wang Meiyu was convinced that Shiranami Chihiro was a lifelong friend.
She felt an immense sense of regret for not having met this dear friend sooner. If she had known it was so simple, she should have gone to Class A to make friends with him back in school; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so anxious and uncertain for so long.
Chihiro, my superhero, my best, best friend, you are absolutely amazing!
Aragaki Shun was amazed by the perfect coordination between the two beneath him, so he decided to increase the intensity and loosen his usual self-restraint.
After a long period of training, Chihiro's physical abilities far surpassed Xiao Mei's, but after half an hour of suppression, the girl could only regretfully declare defeat.
Fortunately, Wang Meiyu had regained some strength by this time. The girl rolled over while holding Chihiro, gently pressing her friend down to shield her from all attacks from behind.
Aragaki Shun's enthusiasm grew even higher. In the past, when it was only Shiranami Chihiro, he had to carefully suppress himself. Now he could finally relax a little.
Indeed, desire is like a boulder rolling down a mountain; once it starts, it can never be stopped.
I feel like my standards in this area are constantly dropping. Even though there wasn't much of this to begin with, before I became truly invincible, I still wanted to adhere to basic social norms and morals...
Damn it, it's all Chihiro's fault! Doesn't she know that men can't resist temptation and indulgence? I must punish her severely tonight!
And what about Wang Meiyu, the accomplice? Since she volunteered to take the bullet, she should be prepared to collapse from exhaustion and pass out!
Thus, despite their best efforts to take turns passing the baton, they ultimately succumbed to their injuries amidst cries of despair, marking the complete failure of their challenge.
Feeling more satisfied than usual, Aragaki Shun casually tidied himself up and lay down in the middle, embracing the soft warmth on both sides as he drifted off to sleep.
In four hours, he would have to get up for the third round of check-ins. Although with his superhuman physique, going two or three days without sleep was nothing, the Uninhabited Island Exam would last for seven days, and he would have to run around the entire island three times a day, so some rest and recuperation were still necessary.
Based on the experience I learned from Chihiro, girls who have just completed their transformation tend to become very clingy for a short period of time.
I feel like I'm definitely not going to have a moment's rest for the next few nights...
Prompted by his biological clock, Aragaki Shun instinctively woke up from his sleep.
It should be around 2 or 3 a. m., and it is still pitch black outside. The boy originally planned to sneak out of bed, but he didn't expect that as soon as he made a little noise, Chihiro was nestled in his arms, would drowsily rub her eyes and prop herself up.
The thin blanket slowly fell away, revealing the girl's fair skin. If it weren't for his sense of responsibility as the Leader of Class A, Aragaki Shun would have instinctively rolled over and started another fight.
"Shh~ Xiao Mei is still sleeping, Chihiro it down and don't wake her up."
Compared to his girlfriend, Shiranami Chihiro, who was already quite skilled, Wang Meiyu was still a novice and was particularly engrossed in the atmosphere, so she was still fast asleep and seemed to have no energy to wake up.
The girl with short white hair blinked, indicating that she understood, and then followed him outside the Cabin.
Frowning as she stared into the pitch-black darkness of the early morning, Chihiro noticed that Aragaki Shun only had a flashlight in his hand, and a look of worry appeared on her face.
"Maybe we should wait until dawn. It feels too dangerous to go and capture a stronghold this late."
"There won't be any problems. My senses and agility are excellent. I've already run around the island a few times to memorize the terrain. Following the fastest route, I can easily take over all the strongholds in just over two hours."
Holding Chihiro's face in his hands, Aragaki Shun wasn't concerned about the Uninhabited Island Exam, which was just a formality; he was more curious about what had happened between the girl and Wang Meiyu.
"I was too busy fooling around last night to ask, but now can you tell me exactly how you dragged Xiao Mei into this?"
The first night was a threesome, and even though he was the one who benefited, Aragaki Shun was still somewhat surprised when he came to his senses.
How exactly did Chihiro convince Xiao Mei to agree to such an absurd thing?
Aragaki Shun knew that she had always wanted to drag her best friend into the mess, but before, Kobashi Yume and Amikura Mako had only occasionally participated in the two's dates, without taking any further steps.
Wang Meiyu just got transferred to Class A today, and tonight she's been led astray by Chihiro... The difference in efficiency before and after is just too big!
Hearing this question, the girl rolled her eyes cutely, "Does Aragaki-kun really have no self-awareness at all?"
"Xiao Mei wasn't corrupted by me. She's been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time, but she hasn't taken action because of her low self-esteem."
To be honest, Shiranami Chihiro really thought Wang Meiyu was silly.
Despite being Aragaki-kun's first friend at Advanced Nurturing, sharing a hometown connection, and possessing cute looks and a gentle personality that fits Aragaki-kun's strengths... with so many advantages, the opponent didn't even dare to make a single shot!
She didn't understand, but she was immediately certain— Xiao Mei was definitely the kind of girl who could become my good friend.
After chatting all afternoon, she learned that the other person had been seriously studying cooking for several months because of Aragaki-kun's love for food.
In this respect, Chihiro had to admit that she wasn't good at it.
Since Aragaki-kun also has feelings for her, let's bring this kind and gentle cook along too, she can also help share the burden.
On the other hand, Shiranami Chihiro also wanted to learn more about her lover's lifestyle and the place he called home. In this way, Wang Meiyu would be an even more worthwhile friend to keep in touch with.
As for whether she was worried that Wang Meiyu would threaten her status as his girlfriend... putting aside the fact that only Aragaki-kun has the final say on such matters, she certainly didn't think he was capable of doing that.
In the eyes of a girl who advocates taking the initiative, Wang Meiyu's initiative is really lacking. If no one pushes her, she might just keep daydreaming in secret, but dare not take any steps.
Most obviously, during their afternoon chat, she had wondered why the other person, with such a significant advantage, had never considered taking the initiative. The answer she received was—
"I... someone like me, I can't possibly be Aragaki-kun's girlfriend... because there are too many competitors... and besides, I've never been in a relationship before..."
What an outrageous reason! This kind of girl, who only dares to fantasize in secret, is practically the best helper for her ideal!
Aragaki Shun: "..."
After Chihiro told her about her conversation with Xiao Mei, the Leader of Class A subconsciously twitched at the corner of her mouth.
It seems he doesn't understand Xiao Mei well enough.
Why is it that in a young girl's eyes, not having been in a relationship can be an obstacle to her becoming his girlfriend?
According to the customs of mainland China, isn't it perfectly normal not to have had a romantic relationship before entering high school?
Or rather, even high school students are not allowed to have romantic relationships; they must devote all their energy to their studies.
I have a feeling that Xiao Mei is trying too hard to make friends and fit in, which has led to some strange perceptions in her mind.
"Alright, Chihiro, you can go back to sleep for now. I'll talk to Xiao Mei after this round of check-ins is over and correct her thinking."
"Ah~ I got it. Be careful, Aragaki-kun, watch your step, don't fall while rushing to capture the stronghold."
"No way, who do you think I am?"
With a confident retort, Aragaki Shun climbed the ladder up the cliff before waiting for a response, first to the base on the High Tower side, and then to the Class A camp on the Cave side.
Somewhat surprisingly, the people on night watch at the camp on the first day were two delicate girls Kobashi Yume and Amikura Mako.
During the boy's check-in process, he always felt that the girls were looking at him with resentment.
"Because I couldn't sleep, I asked Honami-chan to stay up for the second half of the night. Asako mainly stayed to keep me company because she was worried I'd be bored."
When faced with Aragaki Shun's question, Kobashi Yume responded seemingly indifferently, even letting out a soft hum and turning her head away, not wanting to look at him.
"The class monitor is so lucky. He has Xiao Mei and Chihiro to keep him company at night. It must be so comfortable to have them on both sides, right?"
A strong smell of jealousy wafted from him. With a subtle expression, he looked at Kobashi Yume, who wasn't meeting his gaze, and chuckled Aragaki Shun he reached out and pinched her cheek.
"Is Yume jealous? Why don't you move to the Cabin tonight? Although the bed in the bedroom isn't big enough, there's enough room in the living room. I promise you a comfortable night."
With Ayase, Chihiro, and Xiao Mei, with whom he had already promised to spend his Hiyori, Aragaki Shun felt he should face his true feelings and stop being indecisive.
That's right. As a physiologically normal, physically mature man, he likes cute, beautiful, and considerate girls.
There's no point in deceiving yourself, and he doesn't like pretending to be kind or using deception and feigning ignorance for time management; it's not his style.
In short, if you've made up your mind, just go for it straight. Whether it works out or not, at least be aboveboard.
After all, having a harem inherently involves making the girls suffer, because his greed prevents him from giving them a fulfilling romantic experience, so he has to make sure it's decent in other aspects as well.
However, Aragaki Shun was so blatantly shameless that Kobashi Yume was taken aback when she heard him be so blunt.
"Eating... I'm not jealous at all... Besides, who would move in there anyway..."
Kobashi Yume blushed, and she became stammering, unable to speak.
Everyone in Class A knew that Aragaki Shun was resting at the Cabin; Chihiro was his girlfriend, so it was normal for them to live together.
But what's with asking her to move there?!
If everyone in the class finds out, will she ever be able to face anyone again?!
"No! Absolutely not! Class monitor, you're a pervert! You're a womanizer, a lewd, a scumbag..."
With a smile, he pressed a light kiss to the girl's forehead, leaving her momentarily stunned and all her struggles ceased. Then, Aragaki Shun took two steps back and turned his gaze to Amikura Mako beside him.
"What did Asako say?"
Before summer vacation officially arrived, thanks to Chihiro's efforts, the two often brought one of them along when they went on dates at school.
Kobashi Yume's attitude was quite clear; Aragaki Shun was certain that she had willingly been dragged into the three-person date.
In other words, this woman definitely also desires him, but because of her modesty as a girl, she sometimes cannot be too proactive.
But Amikura Mako's behavior was a bit strange.
During that time, the girl would blush whenever she saw him, and she would always try to avoid him, except in other places in the classroom.
Chihiro tried to get her to go on a three-person date, but she never succeeded.
But once he takes the initiative to block her way, she will shyly and awkwardly follow behind him, seemingly not so unwilling after all.
It feels somewhat like tsundere, but not quite. I don't know what the other person is really thinking.
"Class monitor... being too much of a womanizer is no good!"
Biting her lip, the girl with the long purple ponytail looked around and said accusingly, "You already have Chihiro, and now you've got this kind of relationship with Xiao Mei, and you still have a fiancée at home."
"There are already so many people, why aren't you satisfied? Why do you have to target me and Yume?"
With such a complicated relationship, can they truly find happiness in the future?
Even though she believed in Aragaki Shun's abilities, Amikura Mako dared not imagine such an unpredictable fate.
So please don't get too close, really don't get any closer, otherwise I won't know...
"Indeed, I've become a bit greedy lately."
Meeting the girl's somewhat annoyed gaze, Aragaki Shun forward and patted Asako's long ponytail.
Asako's body trembled slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, he did not dodge.
"How things ended up this way is no longer important, because I've decided to do what I've always wanted to do."
"If Asako doesn't want me to succeed, you'd better protect yourself. If you're not firm enough, you'll be completely taken advantage of."
Waving the Key Card, Aragaki Shun smiled and said goodbye, "Let's talk again next time. I need to take care of this important matter first."
My irresistible charm! Little Pockmarked Asako is indeed all talk and no action.
It's surprising that this makes one worry about the future; it seems his prestige in the class is still somewhat insufficient.
He was having a bit of a headache; he couldn't change the established rules of society in a short time.
