Mei has put in a lot of effort to be able to reunite with us, and she has never stopped for a moment.

Therefore, even if it's just to live up to Mei's trust, we should always remember her and never exclude her.

Otherwise, how heartbroken Mei would be when they meet again.

He sighed softly, Shi Hen expression sincere and passionate, without the slightest trace of acting.

"I... I understand..."

Thinking of Mei's willingness to step into the World Serpent so that she could reunite with the boy, Kiana's heart was filled with emotion, and her previously sharp gaze softened completely.

But then she remembered the shame of the three-person scene, and Kiana struggled again. "Hen, no matter what position or way you play, I will try my best to cooperate with you."

But... there's one thing I just can't do: be with Mei.

At least, it can't all end up like this...

By the end, the girl's voice had become barely audible, so weak that it seemed as if it would dissipate into the air the moment it left her lips.

Shi Hen: "..."

Posture and gameplay... isn't this topic a bit too off-topic?

Looking at the white ball of flesh that was almost leaning against him, her face flushed and her breath sweet and fragrant, Shi Hen felt that the other person was not on the same wavelength as him.

"What do you mean by 'together'?"

Shihen gently supported the girl's soft, boneless body, Shi Hen frowned and asked.

"Eh? Wasn't it supposed to be together with... with you...?"

After struggling to regain her senses, Kiana asked, her face flushed, while rolling her eyes at the boy.

"..."

Seeing the girl's almost seductive eye roll, Shi Hen for a moment, then silently turned his head away.

He felt that the dumpling was beyond saving.

Realizing what was happening, Kiana's eyes widened instantly, and she began to struggle violently, and then...

Thump!

The ship of friendship was easily capsized.

Chapter 162 The Raven Has Seen Through Everything

Achoo!

Beside the campfire burning on the shore, Shi Hen, wrapped in a thick blanket, sneezed loudly, his slightly trembling body revealing the fragility of the Third Generation Leader of Anti-Entropy.

"Shi Hen, are you alright? Do you still feel cold?"

Upon seeing the boy's appearance, Theresa immediately asked, her delicate, youthful face radiating a gentle maternal glow.

"It's alright, Headmaster, I'm much better now."

Stretching out his hands to draw some warmth from the campfire, Shi Hen gave the Nun a comforting smile.

"Oh dear, you guys are so careless..."

Seeing the pallor still clearly visible on the boy's face, Theresa couldn't help but sigh. Her gaze immediately shifted to the white-haired girl beside her, and her eyebrows shot up. "And Kiana, can't you just give everyone a break?!"

Shi Hen's body is... not as strong as yours to begin with, and you're still so careless!

Theresa instinctively wanted to say that the boy had not yet recovered from the erosion of the Quantum Sea, but then, considering that Raven was present, Theresa quickly changed her words.

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing Theresa's rebuke, Kiana couldn't help but pout, her slightly lowered face filled with grievance, and her gaze towards the boy was filled with resentment.

She believes she is completely innocent in this drowning incident.

If the boy hadn't deliberately teased her, she wouldn't have capsized the boat.

Despite the countless thoughts that flashed through her mind, Kiana was filled with shame whenever she thought about what she had said on the small boat, and she couldn't utter a single word of explanation.

"Ahem~ Headmistress, this incident can't be entirely blamed on Kiana. I also made quite a few mistakes."

Seeing the white-haired girl looking extremely aggrieved, Shi Hen couldn't help but step forward to defend it.

"That's right, that's right, it was clearly Hen who deliberately bullied me..."

Upon hearing this, Kiana immediately pouted and echoed her sentiment.

When!

Naturally, Theresa didn't believe the girl's sophistry. She grabbed the miniature Judah and tapped the white-haired girl on the head lightly, her little face turning serious. "Shi Hen was just being considerate. You still think you're right?"

Then tell me, how did he bully you?

As a Herrscher with Kaslana's usual superhuman strength, she couldn't even imagine how this kind-hearted boy would be bullied by her silly niece in the future.

"Waaah..."

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Kiana felt even more aggrieved, and her blue eyes welled up with tears.

Although it was wrong of her to misunderstand, she had already made such a great sacrifice for the boy, even abandoning her own bottom line, but the result was everyone's doubt and accusation.

Kiana couldn't help but get angrier the more she thought about it, and she felt like she was about to have an emotional breakdown.

"Alright, Theresa, you should say less. I believe Kiana didn't do it on purpose."

Besides, Kiana is so kind and lovely, it must be all because of the scars.

Raven interjected, handing two bowls of hot fish soup to the two people who had fallen into the water, "Here, drink some of this to warm yourselves up, so you don't catch a cold."

As she spoke, Raven secretly glared at the boy.

Given the opponent's strength, she naturally didn't believe that falling into the water was accidental.

She believed that if the boy wanted to, he could pose an ordinary girl like Kiana in 108 different ways, even while walking a tightrope.

Therefore, this is undoubtedly proof that the other party does not want to have a deeper relationship with Kiana.

Thinking of this, the Raven couldn't help but sigh.

For people like them who walk in the shadows, matters of the heart are ultimately too much of a luxury.

Even someone like the young man, who is capable of rivaling the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, would find it difficult to muster the courage to pursue his own happiness.

Yes, firmly believing that the boy is still under the control of the Gray Serpent, and also believing in the boy's feelings for Kiana, Raven naturally blames everything on the Gray Serpent.

Don't worry, Hen, I'll take care of all the courage you lack and the step you're afraid to take!

Raven clenched his fist secretly, his heart instantly becoming incredibly resolute.

"Hmm~ Thank you, Sister Natasha!"

Natasha is definitely the best to me!

Unaware that Raven was already having a wild internal monologue, Kiana, comforted, immediately beamed with joy, sticking out her tongue slightly at the Nun and the boy.

Hmph! Serves you right for not believing me before. Now I absolutely don't want to talk to you anymore!

Kiana thought smugly to herself as she sat even closer to the Raven.

"Natasha, don't be too lenient with Kiana."

Seeing this, Theresa couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

She felt that Raven's bias towards Kiana was a bit too strong.

This silly niece is clearly a careless and impulsive person, but in Raven's words, she is only described as kind and cute.

"It doesn't really matter, does it?"

Raven gently patted the back of the white-haired girl's hand and said with a smile, "Even if Kiana is some kind of Valkyrie, she's still a girl after all, and she deserves to be pampered more."

If she could find a better opportunity, she would have even considered giving Kiana a whole set of beautiful jewelry.

Looking at the girl's delicate and beautiful body, which still seemed a bit too plain, Raven couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Even though Kiana is naturally beautiful, she believes that if she dresses up carefully, her beauty will definitely become even more dazzling.

Unfortunately, it seems that the person never had this idea.

Thinking about it, Raven couldn't help but secretly roll her eyes at the boy.

In response to Raven's complaints, Shi Hen could only shrug helplessly, take a sip of fish soup, and immediately change the subject. "Phew~ The Class President's cooking skills are indeed excellent."

"It's just that I have more experience in cooking."

Fu Hua smoothed a few stray strands of hair from her temple and gave a faint smile. "Today, we have Bronya to thank for catching such good fish."

"Hey? But aren't you fishing too, Class President?"

Kiana astutely spotted the blind spot.

Fu Hua: "..."

If you hadn't brought this up, we could still be good friends.

She didn't understand why, even though they were not far apart and Bronya was distracted by playing games while fishing, the fish ignored her hook and went straight to Bronya's.

"Class President, you didn't catch a single fish, did you?"

Kiana couldn't help but grin as she delivered an incredibly precise finishing blow.

"..."

Fu Hua pursed her lips and remained solemnly silent.

"Kiana, if you keep going like this, you won't even get a sip of soup."

The secluded tunnel was becoming increasingly unbearable for Himeko to watch.

The boy had already fallen, yet he was still mocking the only chef on the field. She had no idea how this silly boy could be so brave.

"Ugh!!"

Kiana's expression immediately changed to one of surprise, and she quickly sat up straight, trying her best to act like a good girl.

Unfortunately, Fu Hua had already pushed up his glasses, a subtle glint flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 163 When the Snow Lotus Blooms

Ultimately, the fish-themed lunch ended with Kiana collecting nearly half of the fish heads and tails.

Of course, as the girl's closest friend, Shi Hen still helped her remove all the fish tails and also picked out the fish bones from the remaining fish meat.

After all this, Kiana finally calmed down.

As for the resentful looks that Wendy, Peggy, and the others cast at him throughout lunch, Shi Hen said he was powerless to do anything about it.

After lunch, Theresa forced him to rest in the tent, and when Shi Hen stepped out of the tent again, the sun was already slightly setting.

"Anna?"

Upon seeing the only remaining White-haired Girl in the camp, Shi Hen's face showed a hint of surprise. "Are you the only one here now? Where did everyone else go?"

As he spoke, Shi Hen sat down next to Anna by the campfire, throwing a few pieces of firewood into the fire to help it release more heat.

While he wouldn't catch a cold or fever from falling into the water once, as the delicate and frail Anti-Entropy Leader, he still had to be mindful of his public image at all times.

"Lord Theresa and Sister Natasha have gone hiking, while Miss Bronya and Miss Seele are enjoying the scenery nearby. They should be back soon."

Noticing the boy's approach, Anna trembled and quickly sat up straight before answering.

"I see."

Nodding, Shi Hen looked at the white-haired girl in front of him, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes, "Anna, aren't you going to play with them?"

Seele's decision to stay behind can be understood as her concern for his health, so that she could provide him with much-needed support in a critical moment.

However, Anna's significance clearly lies elsewhere.

"I..."

Meeting the boy's concerned gaze, Anna hesitated for a moment before sighing softly, "I'm not really used to this, playing with everyone and all that..."

As she spoke, the girl's voice grew softer and softer, and a faint blush crept onto her fair face.
