My Senses Are Linked With the World's Top Daughters

Su Shang snapped out of her brief confusion and let out a wailing shriek.

"...You can't expect me to hold it in forever. That's inhumane."

'But... but...'

"Also, if I'm not mistaken, you didn't actually hold it. You already—"

'Shut up, shut up, shut up!'

"I'm just saying, weren't you planning to take a bath afterward anyway?"

Su Shang: "?????"

Sitting on the Jade Toilet, Su Shang belatedly realized that the round-the-clock Five Senses Linked state might bring experiences far more mortifying and awful than she had ever imagined.

The usually empty-headed little fool suddenly had an unusually sharp mind, instantly conjuring up countless bizarre images, her eyes quickly spinning into dizzy spirals.

'Don't faint! If you faint, I'll feel dizzy too!'

"Guh..."

A mournful sound escaped Su Shang's lips, tears already welling up at the corners of her eyes.

"Mother, Shang Shang can never marry now..."

...Dividing Line...

Time, without notice, arrived half an hour later.

Su Shang stood before the bathroom door, her gaze hollow.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

'...ZZZZZZ'

"Stop pretending to sleep! I can sense what's going on over there—you're not asleep!"

'Sometimes, piercing a well-meaning lie only makes things more awkward. It's not my fault I can't sleep; your mental storm hasn't stopped, and it's so noisy I can't get any rest at all.'

Su Shang was speechless. She knew Jiang Lianqiu couldn't sleep, and it wasn't his fault—it was hers.

"But... it's almost time for me to go on duty. I can't just go out like this, can I?"

Su Shang lowered her gaze to scan beneath her. Though her skirt concealed it, the uncomfortable sensation on her thighs was undeniable.

Because she hadn't been able to hold it earlier, she needed to take a bath and change clothes.

'Maybe you could look at it from a different angle.'

"?"

'Remember when we first had our Five Senses Linked? What state was I in?'

Su Shang: "—!!!"

The image of a male body, perfected by Mech Servant technology to resemble a David sculpture, flashed through Su Shang's mind.

"Gulp..."

The girl unconsciously swallowed.

'Didn't know you were a little pervert.'

"N-no way!" Su Shang slapped her burning cheeks and shook her head in denial. "I-I-I was just shocked!"

'Fine, but at least I've already been seen by you once, completely.'

"Sorry." Su Shang apologized dizzily.

'?'

Jiang Lianqiu barely held back a laugh. This silly girl truly lived up to the description 'eyes shining with clear stupidity.'

'Alright, I'll go ask Belfast if there's a way to knock me out immediately—fair warning, with my body, ordinary sleeping pills theoretically won't work.'

Seeing Jiang Lianqiu being considerate, Su Shang bit her lip, her eyes filled with intense struggle.

As time grew tighter, she finally stomped her foot in self-abandonment, her face flushed red as she snapped, "Forget it! Anyway... since even that kind of thing has already been seen and felt by you, the rest doesn't matter anymore."

Su Shang's voice was already choked with tears, grievance mixed with fierce shame.

Jiang Lianqiu: "?"

Before he could say anything, he "saw" Su Shang's fingertips press against the carved wooden door for half a second, then suddenly slam it open with the force of a Cloud Knight charge—bang!

'This Young Lady is going to prove the boldness of the Xianzhou's children today!'

She shouted this with full vigor, her motion of tossing her hair ribbon onto the glazed mirror bold enough, but the stumble as she tripped over the threshold did little to convince.

Jiang Lianqiu's head sank into the pillow, his eye twitching—he could now clearly sense the dull pain of the girl's knee hitting the door frame.

"This is how you prove boldness?" He sighed at the ceiling.

'S-shut up!'

Shut up as she might, Su Shang's movement to undo her sash got stuck at the first step.

What was usually a smooth undressing routine had now become clumsy and awkward, because she was acutely aware that everything she saw, he could see too.

The apricot-colored outer robe hung precariously from her elbow, threatening to slip off at any moment. Finally, she simply shut her eyes and hopped in place twice—only for the tangled belt to loop directly around her ankle.

Thump!

Jiang Lianqiu winced, clutching his suddenly throbbing backside. "You managed to fall twice just taking off your clothes?"

'This is all your fault!'

Su Shang plopped straight down onto the floor tiles, kicking her legs like an agitated little sparrow.

'I used to be able to change clothes with my eyes closed! A proper Cloud Cavalry soldier should be able to fully arm herself within a minute upon hearing an emergency order, even in the middle of sleep!'

'A three-minute combat shower! This Young Lady holds the record!'
