Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 294 Farce

Xin looked up at Jingchen, who was carefully watering the plants. She wondered if it was because the outside light was too bright and was shining on Jingchen, but she felt that Jingchen was radiating a kind of light. This light was not dazzling, but it gave people a warm and comforting feeling.

"Um...have we met before?" Xin asked.

Jing Chen turned around and looked at Xin. Only then did Xin realize that Jing Chen looked exactly like Ling! Xin was shocked. She never imagined that there could be two identical people in the world!

"Are you... Zero?" Shin asked hesitantly.

Jing Chen shook his head. "I'm not zero."

The heart then asked, "Are you Zero's biological brother?"

Jing Chen continued to shake his head with a smile, then turned to water the plants. Xin stared, mesmerized, at Jing Chen's long, silvery-white hair. That hair seemed to possess some kind of magic, captivating Xin's gaze. After watering the plants, Jing Chen placed the empty watering can aside and turned back to find Xin staring intently at him. Jing Chen tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hearing Jing Chen's voice, Xin quickly shook her head, "No, it's nothing. I just think your hair color looks really nice."

Jing Chen lifted her hair to look at it, then smiled and said to Xin, "Thank you, you're the first person to say my hair color looks good."

Xin remained silent. It wasn't so much that she didn't know how to respond to Jing Chen, but rather that she was completely captivated by his smile. Jing Chen's looks were already stunning, and coupled with that gentle smile, it was enough to awaken a girl's first love. Moreover, Xin was just entering puberty.

"Um... well, your hair is so long, why don't you take care of it?" Xin asked hesitantly.

Jing Chen said, "Isn't it bad that your hair is too long?"

Xin shook her head repeatedly, "No, no. It would be a waste to cut your hair short. It looks fine as it is."

Jing Chen smiled, and suddenly, his gaze fell on Xin's pocket. Noticing Jing Chen's gaze, Xin panicked and reached out to block the book. Unfortunately, Jing Chen was many times faster than her. Before Xin could react, the book and Jing Chen were already behind her.

Heart pounding, she turned her head to look at Jing Chen's retreating figure. Jing Chen, however, remained focused on the book, his back to her, and asked, "This book... isn't from here, is it?"

"Um..." She wanted to explain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't come up with a single excuse.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else." Jing Chen smiled, turned around, and handed the book back to Xin. Xin took the book and looked at Jing Chen. Jing Chen smiled, "But you still shouldn't let those rigid adults see this book, or you'll be in trouble."

Xin nodded. "Okay, thank you. How about we watch it together?"

Looking into Xin's pleading eyes, Jing Chen couldn't help but give in.

……

"Ah... I'm hungry," Mirai complained.

"Whose fault is this?" Yu Nai said.

"That's why we've been searching for edible things," Mirai said.

The three of them walked down a flight of stairs and came to a corridor. Judging from the decorations, it should be the dormitory area. However, the dormitory area was on the first floor. Upon reaching this point, all three of them were shocked.

"This is my first time here. I never knew the first floor was like this," Mirai said in surprise.

Suddenly, the three of them arrived at the door of a room, which was completely sealed shut with tape. They looked at the room with confusion.

Ichigo looked at the seal and asked, "Are the rooms that are sealed off unused?" The three of them turned to look at the room next door, which was also sealed shut. Looking at the two rooms, Ichigo asked, "How long is this argument going to last?"

Yu Nai said, "I think it's fine as things are."

Mirai and Ichigo both turned around and looked at Ikuno in shock. At that moment, Zero-Two suddenly appeared behind Ikuno and licked her neck with his tongue. A peculiar sensation immediately spread through Ikuno's body, startling her and giving her goosebumps.

Ling Er, standing behind Yu Nai, said with a smile, "It smells like she's hiding something."

Yuuki finally snapped out of her daze, clutching her neck with one hand and staring in horror at Zero Two behind her. Zero Two smiled and turned to leave, but Mirai immediately called out to him. Zero Two turned back, looking at Mirai with a puzzled expression.

The three girls brought Ling Er to the dormitory, and Wei Lai asked Ling Er, "Which side are you from?"

"If possible, we hope you can help us," Ichigo said.

Ling Er sat cross-legged on the bed, listening to the two women's conversation, and said boredly, "What you're doing is so boring, you're just playing around."

Upon hearing her approach being rejected, Wei Lai immediately retorted, "Don't jump to conclusions!"

Ichigo held out a hand, gesturing for Mirai to stop talking. Ichigo said earnestly, "Even so, we're serious."

"Um..." She was about to say something when Zero Two interrupted her, "Are you serious?" Zero Two thought about it carefully for a while, then smiled and said, "I understand, then I'll participate too."

The four girls were stunned when they heard that Ling Er agreed so readily.

……

Ling Er walked up to the bathroom door and ripped off the notice posted on it. Taihe Yanmu, who had just come downstairs, witnessed this. Both Taihe Yanmu and Ling Er were puzzled. What was going on? Why did she tear down the notice?

Ling Er turned to Tai He and said, "They said you can use it too." After saying that, she casually threw away the crumpled piece of paper and went into the bathroom.

Tai and Miki both watched Zero Two's retreating figure enter the bathroom with puzzled expressions. They exchanged a glance, neither understanding what had happened. Zero Two flipped the sign on the door from "Women in Bath" to "Men in Bath," then gave a wicked smile.

As evening fell, the boys stood in front of the bathroom door, looking at the sign on it. Zero asked in disbelief, "Zero Two said we can go in now? Is that true?"

……

In the bathroom changing room, Kujira took off his clothes and said to Zero, "It's true, which means the girl has already surrendered."

Seeing that the four girls had already taken off their clothes and headed into the bathroom, Zero hesitated to take his own. He felt that something was off. Zero Two was clearly not involved in the argument, but if the girls had already taken their photos, why would Zero Two need to notify them? Zero watched as the four girls opened the bathroom door, and the four girls inside turned around in shock to look at the boy outside.

Zero slapped his forehead. "I knew it!"

Seeing that the girl was already angry, Goro quickly explained, "Wait a minute, this is a misunderstanding!"

However, in this situation, the girls didn't give them a chance to explain at all, throwing various basins directly at the boys. Zero smiled helplessly, standing behind and watching this farce unfold.
