Karuizawa Kei paused here, then said, "She's actually just like me, someone who's afraid of death... For her own survival, this is probably not a bad thing for her."

Su Wei pondered for a moment, and he was well aware of Kushida's two-faced little scheme.

However, it cannot be denied that Kushida does have the skill to act as a lubricant in maintaining the superficial harmony of the class.

So he nodded: "Okay, let her give it a try."

After the business was finished, Su Wei turned around decisively, seemingly ready to leave, as if he had only come to see her for these few words.

Karuizawa Kei felt a sudden panic and almost instinctively called out to him.

"Soviet...!"

Su Wei turned around and looked at her with a slightly puzzled expression.

But when she looked directly into Su Wei's eyes, Karuizawa Kei's words, which were meant to build rapport and even act coquettishly, were like a fishbone stuck in her throat, impossible to utter.

Come to think of it.

After all, she had just experienced the highs and lows of life and death.

In such a physically and mentally exhausted moment, there is no "hero saves the damsel in distress" scenario to stimulate dopamine secretion.

At this moment, she was filled with exhaustion and lingering fear, and it was really difficult for her to seamlessly switch into a role that knew how to please the host, just like she usually did...

She was so tired that she didn't even have the energy to pretend to be energetic.

Looking at the girl's hesitant expression, he seemed to want to say something but couldn't.

Su Wei sighed but did not urge him on.

He simply turned around and took two steps closer.

He raised his hand and gently ruffled the girl's soft blonde hair.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

Su Wei's voice drifted in the cool night breeze:

"Just live as yourself. There's no need to force yourself to conform to anything when you're already exhausted."

Karuizawa Kei felt the warmth coming from the top of her head, her nose tingled, and she nodded gently.

To avoid appearing too useless, she took a deep breath and then spoke:

"I will adjust my state as soon as possible. I will definitely not delay the time to give the [Blank Card Box] Contract Beast later."

Su Wei shook his head:

"Let's talk about this after we've had some rest."

"No matter how urgent things are, it's not fair to force you to do this while you're exhausted. Unless..."

Su Wei paused, then said half-jokingly:

"Unless the main god goes mad, the senior students will have to take their exams early again tomorrow. But if that's really the case, the more important thing now is to exchange information with them."

Karuizawa Kei then said no more.

She paused for a moment, her fingers tightly twisting the hem of her dress, then suddenly mustered her courage and spoke:

"That……"

"Could you hug me one last time before you leave?"

To be honest, she has actually been well protected and has never really experienced death, so she shouldn't be acting so fragile that she needs to be comforted.

But... girls are always sentimental.

They also lack a sense of security, don't they?

So even though she knew this request was somewhat excessive, she still said it anyway.

Su Wei looked at her, but did not seem to refuse.

He simply opened his arms and embraced the trembling bird.

Feeling the other person hug him back with a slight force, their arms tightly wrapped around his waist, he gently inhaled the faint scent emanating from the girl's hair.

Su Wei rested his chin lightly on the top of her head and asked softly:

Are you feeling better?

Karuizawa buried her face in his broad chest and let out a heavy "hmm".

"To embrace you is like water dissolving into water."

The girl murmured softly.

So charming, so beautiful.

The embrace was full, and the heart, which had been riddled with holes by fear, was also filled.

However, faced with these incredibly romantic words from a young girl...

Su Wei, however, acted like a clueless, unromantic straight man, simply patting her shoulder lightly:

"If you really like this feeling, then try to survive."
