From Gotham to Night City, my infamy is known to all.

The girl, who had just finished crying, still had red circles under her eyes and looked weak and pitiful.

"Um... I... can I stay here overnight? I'm a little scared, I don't dare to sleep alone." Sasha glanced at V and added timidly, "I... I can sleep on the sofa, I'm a deep sleeper, I won't make a sound."

V wanted to refuse, but when she thought about what Sasha had gone through that day, she couldn't bear to, and felt that refusing her would be a bit heartless.

After some deliberation, she made a suggestion: "Why don't you sleep with me? I can't really let you sleep on the sofa."

Sasha felt both touched and ashamed. V was so considerate of her, yet she...

Sasha glanced at Leo out of the corner of her eye, but still didn't dare to reveal her true thoughts.

Just as she was wavering, Vera came over and gently put her arms around her shoulders: "Why don't you sleep with me? I can tell you the story of the homeless family, it should make you feel better."

She radiated maternal warmth, instantly captivating Sasha, who had just relive the pain of losing her mother.

"Um……"

Sasha stood up and followed Vera in a daze.

Ding--

The elevator doors closed and it began to descend rapidly.

V let out an exaggerated sigh, completely relaxing.

"Luckily Vera was there. I'm actually not very good at comforting people..."

Leo hesitated, then swallowed back his boastful words.

He reached out and gently touched the chip box, storing the chips containing important data into his spatial storage.

Before suggesting they go to bed early, he suddenly remembered something and quickly turned his gaze to V's face: "V, how are you feeling after using Sianwaystein?"

V paused for a moment, then casually touched his back. "Seems fine. This time, not even that liquid came out."

“It’s tissue fluid.” Leo stepped forward without waiting for a reply. “Let me take a look for you. It’s inconvenient for you to do it yourself.”

Before he finished speaking, his hand had already started tugging at V's coat.

V narrowed his eyes, but considering that the two had even bathed together, he didn't dwell on it too much.

As it turns out, V had absolutely no problems using the S.A.S. implant this time, and her body seemed to have adapted to it.

Another thing is that her back is smooth and delicate, and feels very nice to the touch!

Leo touched her a couple of times, and seeing that she didn't seem to mind, he took the opportunity to suggest, "Let's take a shower before bed and wash off the sweat."

"I didn't sweat..."

As he said this, V didn't object after being pushed twice, and followed him into the bathroom.

Seeing that she was so easy to talk to today, Leo felt a surge of desire and tried to get her to squat down.

This time he didn't dare press on the head, but instead pressed on the shoulders, but the result was the same—V was still unhappy.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, can't you be a little more considerate of me?"

He tried to elicit sympathy by playing the victim.

This trick has some effect on V, but not much.

She protested, "Why are you so fixated on this? If you ask me, mouths are for eating, not for playing with. Don't you think this is disgusting!"

Besides, I've always been strong-willed and have never bowed my head to anyone. Why should I kneel down? Why don't you kneel down yourself?

Hearing the stubbornness in her tone, Leo's anger flared:

As her girlfriend, she doesn't even have this much service awareness; I have to find a way to correct her misconceptions!

They even wanted to overthrow the Heavenly General and make him squat down...

Wait, something doesn't seem right...

Make him squat down...

It seems... it's not entirely impossible!

A man can bend and stretch!

I'll squat then!

Leo crouched down with lightning speed.

The sudden turn of events caught V off guard.

Then, her eyes widened in horror...

*

After half an hour.

Leo was in a good mood as he dried his hair.

Through his practice, he once again proved the value of the idiom "overcoming strength with gentleness".

Even the invincible V-Zhentian, when bitten in his vital spot, was still trembling and screaming!

Ha, she's nothing special!

V stood four or five meters away from him, hiding around the corner, casting a disdainful glance at him.

"You're disgusting..."

This was the third time she had said that in five minutes.

Leo, unable to bear it any longer, retorted: "Wearing clothes makes you tough, but when I'm working, you never complain about how disgusting it is!"

V immediately turned red.

She really wanted to rush over and punch him, to see if he dared to say such annoying things again. But the opposite of being subservient to someone who pays the bills—the feeling of being "easily subdued by someone's generosity" took effect.

She's feeling a bit weak right now, and her confidence isn't as strong as it used to be.

After making two threatening gestures from a distance, V ran away with a red face.

First Glimpse of Talent: Chapter 199 Pure White: "Hold back! Don't do anything rash!"

Leo felt he had achieved a partial victory and hummed a song with satisfaction.

After drying his hair, he lay down on the bed feeling relaxed, intending to go over the various preparations before his transmigration with Chunbai one last time.

Unexpectedly, just as the conversation began, they heard slow footsteps approaching from afar, growing clearer and clearer.

He turned to look in the direction of the stairs.

A dozen seconds later, V, carrying a small blanket and looking conflicted, slowly walked up.

Leo blinked, and after a moment of stunned silence, he realized that if she wasn't there to add a blanket for him, then she must have come to... sleep with him?

Under his piercing gaze, V reluctantly carried the blanket to the bedside: "You're leaving tomorrow, so I'll stay with you a little longer today. Just so you know, if you do anything reckless, I'll still beat you!"

Leo looked at her clenched fists, but showed no fear.

V has been weakened by her several times today. It's a miracle that she can even unleash half of her fighting power. What's there to be afraid of?

"Come quickly."

Leo patted the spot next to him and kindly offered her half of the bed.

V lingered for a while longer, then lay down stiffly beside him with a look of grim determination on her face.

Leo laughed and reached out to hug her.

Seeing that she didn't resist, he quickly kissed her twice on the face before V pushed him away.

"Stop fooling around, go to sleep!"

Leo wasn't very sleepy to begin with, and now that V was beside him, her pleasant scent wafted into his nostrils, quickly arousing his desire.

He tried to touch V inappropriately, but after not encountering fierce resistance, he began to waver.

Does this mean agreement or disagreement?

I feel like if I push her hard, I might just take advantage of her tonight...

But if it backfires and destroys the close relationship the two have worked so hard to build, it wouldn't be worth it...

Hesitantly, the cyber Casanova arrived, late but surely—

[Hold on! Don't upset her!]

V is shy and went to great lengths to overcome her embarrassment to be with you, only to be rejected by you. This will leave a very bad impression on her. If your first time together happens under these circumstances, it will definitely be a loss in the long run!

Upon hearing this, Leo hesitated even more: "Is that so?"

Yes, yes! You have to believe me, I have in-depth knowledge of carbon-based life! Kiss her on the forehead, hold her while you sleep, and leave a good impression. When she comes back next time, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and everything will fall into place naturally!

Leo felt that... what she said seemed to make sense.

If we were to do it today, not only V, but even he himself wouldn't be mentally prepared.

Then just bear with it a little longer, and I'll tear V to pieces next time I come back!

Leo leaned over, propping himself up on the bed with his right arm, and gave V a light kiss on the forehead... Feeling that it wasn't enough, he kissed her mouth-to-mouth for a while longer.

Only when they were both panting heavily, and he could no longer control his temper, did he regretfully release V, who was neither cooperating nor resisting, and lie back down on his half of the pillow.

"Go to sleep early, V, goodnight."

"Good night……"

V breathed a sigh of relief and quietly rubbed his heart.

Her heart was pounding and her mind was racing; she thought something like that was about to happen...

Fortunately, Leo held her nerve, otherwise she wouldn't know whether she would accept or refuse.

It's definitely best this way. We're deepening our feelings little by little, getting closer slowly, just like the romance depicted in TV dramas.

I feel so happy...

V closes her eyes, her brain goes on strike, and she enters a deep sleep within seconds.

Being young is great; you can fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.

A pure white voice has a subtle sense of pleasure to it.

V is already asleep, you should go to sleep too. Don't forget, tomorrow is the first day of school at Arakasaka Academy.

Leo, who was trying to adjust his breathing and get his body back to normal as soon as possible, suddenly paused: Oh...right, I almost forgot about that.

In order to acquire knowledge of this era and incidentally obtain an official identity, he chose to enroll in Arasaka Academy.

Looking back now, the plan seems somewhat unreliable. Moreover, according to Mr. Li, someone at Arasaka Academy is already watching him, and no one knows who it is or what their purpose is.

[Pure White, I still want to ask something—]

[Stop! You've asked several times already! I'm pretty sure I've bought everything I need to take to Gotham. Plant samples, experimental data, trade goods, a little gift for Batman, all sorts of odds and ends—everything's here. You should go to sleep!]

【Fine……】

Leo figured it out—Pure White wasn't in a good mood today; usually, she might have chatted before bed...

He closed his eyes, inhaling V's unique fragrance, and quickly drifted into a dream.

All night long, he dreamt of fighting V to the death.

But for some reason, perhaps due to a lack of material, he always failed at the last step and could only talk the talk...

*

Monday, April 3th.

Today is the official start of the school year at Arakasaka Academy, and also his last day in Night City.

By 9 p.m. at the latest, he would be back in Gotham, forced to swallow his anger right under Batman's nose...

The thought of this made V's homemade oxtail soup lose its appeal.

After finishing breakfast in a state of frequent absentmindedness, Leo found the school uniform of Arasaka Academy and put it on.

Although it's called a school uniform, it's actually a slim-fit casual suit jacket. The overall color scheme is formal dark gray, with red accents on the collar, pockets, and other areas, and the Arasaka logo is on the left chest.

Objectively speaking, the design of this outfit is good, but it's a bit too eye-catching. It's sure to turn heads on the street.

"The clothes are nice, they suit you well. It's just that the logo is a bit of an eyesore."
