"Hey, what are you doing now?"
"Time to eat, I'm starving."
"Ok."
Chapter 32 My lord, I'm innocent!
I am Luo Chen, the only male student at St. Freya. I'm very flustered right now. Why? Well, I'm currently sitting in the girls' dormitory, being judged by the headmaster and his entourage.
"Aunt Theresa, I'm innocent! I really didn't skip class on purpose!"
Luo Chen knelt on the ground without any regard for his image, bent over and hugged Theresa's short legs, crying incessantly.
"Alright, stop fooling around! Himeko, pick him up."
Theresa sighed, and after Himeko helped Luo Chen up, she glared at him with a dark expression: "You've really grown up, haven't you? You've even learned to skip class!"
Luo Chen looked at her innocently, pointed to Kiana sitting next to him, and accused her, "It really has nothing to do with me. Kiana lied to me, that's why I ran away."
"You!" Kiana was immediately displeased. She couldn't be the only one to take the blame, so she retorted, "But you still had a lot of fun!"
"I……"
Luo Chen blushed slightly and turned to look at Mei, hoping she could say a few good words for him. However, he found Mei staring at him with a dark expression and a smile. Luo Chen immediately realized he couldn't rely on Mei, so he looked at Yuno instead.
"May you have good fortune."
Yuna mouthed her thoughts, and Luo Chen felt a chill run down his spine. He thought he was doomed this time and resigned himself to his fate, bowing his head to accept his judgment.
"Fine, I can't handle the two of you. Himeko, I'm leaving her to you."
"You're the dean of the academy, how can you just pass the buck to me?"
Himeko was quite surprised by Theresa's decision, and then looked at the two of them with a malicious gaze.
"Each person should submit a two-thousand-word self-criticism first, and give it to me tomorrow. As for the subsequent punishment..."
Himeko fiddled with her hair, pausing deliberately: "There's an exam in two weeks. We'll decide after you get your results."
"That's okay."
Luo Chen patted his chest with a sigh of relief. After all, his grades were among the best, so there was no need to worry. As for Kiana…
Luo Chen looked at her with pity, and seeing that she was already ashen-faced, he began to laugh wildly in his heart.
"Don't be so happy yet, Luo Chen."
Himeko immediately saw through Luo Chen's thoughts and said jokingly, "If either of you fails, then you'll both be punished."
"Nani!"
Luo Chen stared wide-eyed at Himeko as if he were looking at a demon: "Himeko-sensei, you're not serious, are you?"
"What do you think, little one?"
"It's over!"
Luo Chen knelt on the ground, pounding the floor helplessly, wailing, "It's all over now."
"Keep it up, little ones."
Himeko went to the kitchen, took a bottle of wine from the refrigerator, sat on the sofa, and started drinking by herself.
"Luo Chen, come help me chop some vegetables."
Hearing Mei calling his name, Luo Chen remained motionless and said sadly to Mei, "Don't worry about me, Mei, let me have some peace and quiet."
"Luo Chen..."
Hearing Mei's more serious tone, Luo Chen was startled and quickly stood up, saying to her, "I'll go right away."
"You chickened out instantly?"
Yuna leaned back in her chair, smiling as she spoke to Luo Chen. Luo Chen rolled his eyes at her, then said with great pride, "I don't call this cowardice, I call it following my heart!"
Kiana, still pondering how to avoid punishment, took out the Houmu King from her bag and hugged it, instantly piquing the interest of Bronya, who was watching the spectacle.
"Kiana, where did your Houmu King come from?"
"Luo Chen caught this for me; it's the only one in the entire arcade!"
Kiana looked at Bronya's longing expression and said smugly, then hugged her a little tighter.
"Can Bronya take a look?"
"No way! Luo Chen caught this for me; there's only one like it in the whole arcade."
Bronya visibly disappointed, her eyes fixed on the Houmu King in Kiana's arms, sitting motionless.
"Okay, just once."
Seeing Bronya's expression, Kiana finally handed over the doll, a victorious look on her face.
"You and Kiana had a lot of fun today, didn't you?"
Hearing the commotion in the living room, Mei asked Luo Chen without looking up, but her tone made Luo Chen feel somewhat dangerous.
'Done! '
Luo Chen paused, holding the knife, and said somewhat nervously, "I'm alright."
"is it?"
Mei stared silently at the doll in Bronya's hand. Luo Chen, at a loss, reached out and patted her head, whispering, "Alright, I'll take you out to play during the holidays in a few days."
"Ah."
Mei blushed, feeling the warmth from Luo Chen's hand, and happily said, "Then don't go back on your word."
"I know, when have you ever seen me lie?"
After dinner, Luo Chen dragged Kiana into tutoring for an hour before returning to his dormitory. After washing up, Luo Chen sat down at the table in his pajamas.
"This is going to be troublesome. I'm going out with Mei the day after tomorrow, I hope nothing goes wrong."
Luo Chen scratched his head in annoyance. To say he didn't like Mei would be utter nonsense, but...
Luo Chen leaned back in his chair, his heart unable to calm down as he thought about the plot to come.
"Whether we can survive is still a question. We're not thinking about that now."
Luo Chen chuckled self-deprecatingly, touching the Jizo Statue he wore on his wrist as he sat quietly.
The next day
The bell rang, and Luo Chen grabbed Kiana, who was running towards the door, and forced her to stay for extra lessons.
"Ah! I don't want to!"
Kiana tried to break free from Luo Chen's grasp, but to no avail, and had to give up.
"I can't refuse. If you don't pass the test, I'll still die."
Luo Chen looked at her with a dark expression, his tone unfriendly: "Who tricked me into going there back then?"
"Okay, I know!"
Kiana slumped back into her chair, looking dejected, and then lay sprawled on the table like a coward.
"Chen, are you going to tutor Kiana?"
"Yes, otherwise I would be gone."
Mei stood to the side, hesitated for a moment, then dragged a chair over and sat down next to Kiana: "Then I'll help you too, Kiana."
"Ah! No! Mei is so scary during tutoring..."
Kiana initially refused, but upon seeing Mei's kind expression, she immediately relented, sitting in the chair with her head down and remaining motionless.
"Yuno, you and Bronya should go back first."
"Ok."
Yuno immediately saw through Mei's thoughts and whispered in Mei's ear, "Let you run first, after all..."
Yuno deliberately pointed to her lips, revealing a victorious smile, ignoring Mei's resentment, and left with Bronya and Lilith.
"Um, Mei, are you alright?"
Luo Chen opened the documents and asked questions cautiously.
"fine."
Mei shook her head, her eyes glancing subtly at Luo Chen's lips, before taking out some documents from her bag: "Let's begin."
"okay."
……
"Yuno, aren't you afraid Mei will sneak into our house?"
Walking down the street, Lilith looked at Yuno, who seemed completely unaffected, with a puzzled expression and asked her curiously.
"It's alright." Yuno waved her hand: "Isn't Kiana there? She'll keep Mei occupied."
"Right."
Lilith understood. Having spent a lot of time with Yuno and the others, she also learned that Kiana liked Mei and was always doing strange things to her.
