"Will do."
Chu Yinan remembered that Councilor Locke, who had eaten the oilfish, was once considered a good person. However, despite his advanced age, he married a young woman in her late twenties. After leaving the United Council on the artificial island, he immediately got involved with a new nobleman on Glory Island.
Sure enough, he should have known better than to trust outside opinions. A person who suffers from hemorrhoids and still indulges in rich, oily, and spicy foods despite the bleeding is destined not to cherish their own buttocks. And for someone who doesn't cherish their buttocks, even the best buttocks are still decadent.
His buttocks already revealed his bad character.
"What is Wei's talent? I've only heard that she's very talented before, and the repayment is done by drinking coffee. She seems like a very approachable older sister," Chu Yinan asked after calming down.
"Her compensation isn't drinking coffee, but rather the need to ingest central nervous system stimulants. Coffee is less harmful and can be considered cost-effective, which is why she drinks it. As for her talent, it's her all-around physical abilities, the extent to which she can punch through a load-bearing wall. If you search for buildings outside the island that have mysteriously collapsed in recent years and were reported to have been built with substandard materials, they are basically her handiwork."
Wow, this sounds simple, but it's even more outrageous than Valise's, isn't it?
Although this idea is bad, when Wei... is trying to comfort himself, won't he accidentally inflict serious injury?
"Is it possible for me to defeat her using my higher-level character?"
"No way, she'll be in trouble if she touches you." Darlene's words were as cold as her expression, showing no mercy to Chu Yinan.
Chu Yinan was a bit injured. He was still thinking about being a hot-blooded male protagonist, doing a few push-ups, and then defeating the enemy head-on. But he was really overthinking it.
But when Heinrich told him about Junlan, he probably wanted him to resolve Junlan's situation.
This Junlan sister's talent is to fill in the gaps, so she can only fill in Wei in the near future. Could it be that she filled in something else?
I'll ask AI later.
Chapter 158 Are you Stella's human form?
The next morning, before dawn, Chu Yinan dragged Marissa to school.
If he waits for Aunt Liu to get up, he won't be able to go to the toilet.
“Today is also for review, so you don’t have to come with me. It’s boring. You can stay at the manor and play with your sisters.” Marissa said, pulling Chu Yinan’s wrist to signal him to squat down a little.
Chu Yinan bent down, and the girl leaned in to straighten his collar. Looking at Marissa's face, Chu Yinan thought she looked even more beautiful. The morning breeze had made her cheeks rosy, and the way she tucked her neck and chin into her scarf was incredibly endearing.
"That's strange. I remember that Delia helped me tidy up before I left home, didn't she?"
"Maybe they're not used to helping their grown-up brother tidy his clothes yet?" Marissa wondered. Just now, two maid sisters saw the two of them off together. Surely they hadn't noticed?
Chu Yinan pondered for a moment and realized that his collar was probably already fixed when he put it on, and that Delia had deliberately messed it up to give Marissa an opportunity.
Seriously, does my relationship with Marissa really need something as trivial as this to improve it?
Taking advantage of his rare height, Chu Yinan helped Marissa adjust her scarf, but he didn't really do much; he just made it a little more secure to keep out the wind. He even touched Marissa's neck skin, which felt smooth and soft.
Marissa was startled by Chu Yinan's icy hand, and feigning anger, she teased him with a straight face:
"If you don't touch my neck, I'll thank you for your concern, brother!"
"It's nothing, I already touched your neck as a thank you." Chu Yinan was very honest.
Marissa suddenly fell silent and had nothing to say.
After a long pause, the girl raised her hand and said, "No, I've decided to thank you verbally. I won't let you touch me; I'll touch you back."
A verbal thank you? I thought a touch would be enough, but I didn't expect Marissa to be so enthusiastic!
Chu Yinan quickly lowered his head, generously opened his collar, and said:
"You can touch it."
Marissa didn't stand on ceremony and slipped her icy-cold, delicate hand inside his collar. Although Chu Yinan was mentally prepared, he still shivered from the cold. But as the older brother, he had his pride on display, so he suppressed the shiver and maintained a calm demeanor while showing some concern.
"That's not good. Your hands are so cold. Are all girls like that?"
Chu Yinan took Marissa's little hand out, but instead of using his own warming stick (which is particularly good at generating heat and dislikes cold) to warm her hand, he simply covered it with his own hand.
"I don't know. There are a few people in the monastery like me who get cold hands and feet when it's cold, but some don't. Are there any others like me?"
"Aunt Liu used to do that. When it was cold, she would go to Yu Tang's room to sleep together, and then use me as a hand warmer in bed..."
Actually, when he was younger, Aunt Liu didn't have any experience using the "Chu Yinan Hand Warmer". She would just put it on his stomach. Later, he got a stomach ache and diarrhea from touching it, so she didn't dare to use it randomly anymore. She would first touch his face to warm his hands before touching other parts of his body.
"Oh, thank you, brother." The girl's voice was melodious and pleasant, making Chu Yinan feel elated.
But this was somewhat different from what he had imagined: "What about my verbal thanks?"
"Didn't I just say thank you? Are you going to renege on your debt?" Marissa completely failed to understand his underlying meaning.
Chu Yinan immediately explained the punctuation to him, and the girl finally understood what he meant. She thought he was really concerned about her cold hands, but it turned out he had been making lewd remarks all along. She angrily kicked his shin lightly.
But then I squatted down and patted his pants.
Once at school, Chu Yinan accompanied Marissa to two classes, but then stopped studying with her, afraid that he might accidentally snore in class and disturb others.
He went to the club building alone to have some fun, but unfortunately, the incident of upperclassmen picking fights with lowerclassmen that he had imagined did not occur, which was quite troubling!
The Student Association Building is not just one building; it is a collective term for several nearby buildings, all of which exist for student association activities.
Chu Yinan took a walk around and remarked on how low-key everyone was, before entering an archery hobby hall.
The hall was spotless, but empty. Archery equipment was placed in its designated spot, and the wallpaper on the walls was covered with illustrations and tutorials of various archery styles.
Since he was killing time, Chu Yinan picked up a bow and arrow, looked at a picture of Mongolian archery techniques, and tried to find a video to watch, but the signal here was too weak to connect to the network.
He drew the bow, aimed, adjusted the trembling of his bowstring, and then released his fingers.
whoosh-
Naturally, the arrow missed. It wasn't a problem with aiming, but rather that the hand wasn't steady enough; it seemed the arrow had been shaken off course.
"But I think my hand is quite steady. This is my Qilin right arm pulling the string!"
"Because your hands didn't hold the bow properly, the bow itself was crooked, and the arrow was nocked crookedly. You might as well try shooting your own toe."
The woman's voice came suddenly, offering guidance while also delivering a sarcastic remark.
Chu Yinan paused the second round of challenges and glanced at his opponent.
This was a girl about 1.7 meters tall, with a cool and stylish high ponytail. Her hair was extremely long, reaching down to her waist when tied up. She wore a white and black archery uniform, and her bare, fair feet were visible beneath the robe and trousers. Perhaps she had warmed up beforehand, as there were specks of sweat on her temples. She had a beautiful face, an oval shape, and delicate skin, but her eyes held an inexplicable depth.
Should I call her "senior"?
"Anything is fine. How many days have you been here?"
Chu Yinan nocked his bow and shot again, his mouth never stopping:
"I came here to have some fun the next day. Did you have some coffee? The coffee beans are from Latin America, with a slight acidity and a delicate aroma from roasting. It smells nice. It should be the one near the bridge exit from Rongguang Island."
The tall girl looked at him with surprise: "Yes, is the smell that strong?"
Girls are quite concerned about body odor.
But this just means that Chu Yinan is more sensitive to the smell of coffee. Back in the day, he drank so much coffee that the bathroom would smell like coffee after he urinated. He has that kind of ability.
"It's not strong, but I think you should try a better coffee, with a little lemon juice. You've already given me a lot of pointers, would you mind demonstrating how to shoot an arrow?"
"To be honest, this is my first time shooting arrows too. I just came to the archery dojo to experience it."
The senior student nocked an arrow, aimed for a second, and then released the arrow.
The target was shattered by the impact, and the arrows embedded themselves in the wall, creating a crack nearly a meter long around the arrow.
Chu Yinan: ? ? ?
The girl calmly said, "Hello little one, nice to meet you."
Chapter 159 Coffee Negotiation
Chu Yinan could see it clearly. The woman hadn't aimed properly either. She was slightly more accurate than Chu Yinan, but at most she landed on the outer edge of the target. However, the power of that arrow was a bit outrageous; the target was crushed by the wind pressure.
This was just a small demonstration of Wei's abilities; Chu Yinan's performance was simply outrageous.
"Hello, is this Junlan? This is the first time I've realized that my background is actually related to superpowers." Chu Yinan remained relatively calm.
The other party... doesn't seem hostile? If they were, Chu Yinan's game would already be over.
"If someone saw you easily change size, their surprise would probably be the same as yours right now."
The girl in the robe with the bow seemed to have lost interest in archery. She put the bow and arrows back where they were and took out a few banknotes that were rarely used anymore, placing them aside as compensation.
As she walked towards her water bottle, she loosened her ponytail, letting her long, smooth hair fall over her shoulders, giving her the look of a classically beautiful female college student. She might not be the most eye-catching one on campus, but if someone caught a glimpse of her, they would definitely want to look at her a few more times.
She had already prepared her own substitute drink, another cup of coffee that she hadn't drunk yet, and even an extra cup for Chu Yinan to drink.
"I'm offering you this drink. I heard you like it. It's not very tasty, but if I don't drink it, I can barely keep my eyes open and feel like I'm about to pass out. Did Wei used to move around like this?"
Chu Yinan had long since given up this stuff. He wanted to stick to his principles, but a slight feeling of unease made him hesitate for a moment, and his hand reached out to take the coffee on its own.
He clinked glasses with Junlan: "This cup of coffee is a toast to our...meeting."
Remembering what Darlena had said before, that each of the sisters had their own lives, Chu Yinan changed his tune from "our siblings' meeting" to "it's better not to try to build a relationship."
Junlan took a sip, her calm features contorted with bitterness: "Oh my god, this tastes awful."
This scene felt somewhat familiar, reminding Chu Yinan of Wei, whom he had only met once.
“Wei was the same way. When I saw her, she was drinking and complaining about how bad it tasted, but in the end she didn’t drink anymore because there was no need to drink it.”
"That's good." Junlan opened the lid and glanced at it, finding there was still a sip left. She then clinked glasses with Chu Yinan: "Let's toast Wei with this last sip."
After finishing the rich and aromatic black coffee, Junlan got straight to the point without waiting for Chu Yinan to say anything more.
“My family members were arrested. They gave me a deal: if necessary, I could punch the building next door. The time was set for midnight.”
Following her gaze, what came into Chu Yinan's view was the building where electronic equipment had been installed, a building that had attracted much attention from important figures outside the school.
The new aristocracy of Glory Island will hold a meeting there, where a "coup" will take place, with the Leffe family's traitors joining forces with outsiders to force Morgan to hand over his status, wealth, and assets.
It seems that if Morgan doesn't comply, the building will "mysteriously" be destroyed due to architectural defects, and then the Leffe family's inheritance and distribution of the estate will naturally take place.
Would Junlan do that? She probably would. She doesn't know who Morgan is, nor does she care, but she has to care about where her family is.
"So, you came to see me now because there's some unexpected situation that we can discuss?" Chu Yinan found a place to sit down.
"Yes, according to the plan, I would only appear here at midnight, but Vallis kept changing her appearance and found me. Now she has taken my form and is being monitored in my place."
Vallis is indeed capable of causing trouble. Chu Yinan recalled that last time she transformed into his alternate account and went to Director Shenshui's office to act arrogantly, even doing a good deed by leaving her name.
“I didn’t know you were coming. No one notified me. Don’t misinterpret my meaning. So what’s the key to this negotiation?” Chu Yinan said cautiously.
Junlan nodded, indicating that she wasn't that confused:
