Chapter 154: Chapter 154 – Accident
Through the natural filter formed by the pelting rain, the neon lights in the distance appeared more vibrant and colorful, like a thick layer of ink on black paper.
From a long time ago, Ren Suo understood that fantasy works were dramatic. When fighting against the great devil, the characters would not be so stunned that they were unable to cast their spells, and they would not be seen without their clothes when they transformed. In battle, they would still be left with at least their underwear, no matter how injured they were…
However, in reality, the world was not a game, and it was not possible for success to come so naturally.
Dong Chengling looked at Ren Suo as she sat on the couch and asked, “So, Ren Suo, what’s the important matter that you want to tell me?”
Ren Suo turned to face the other two anxious but extremely curious girls next to him.
“It’s already starting to rain outside, aren’t you guys going to leave soon?” Ren Suo asked.
“We brought our umbrellas,” Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu answered as they took their foldable umbrellas out from the bags.
“Doesn’t the dormitory have a curfew you have to adhere to?” Ren Suo questioned.
“I am the cla.s.s chairperson and have the privilege to return to the dormitory after 12 midnight,” Gu Yueyan said as she waved her watch in front of Ren Suo.
“This is bad, students nowadays already know how to make use of their powers and privileges from such a young age. The school is also at fault too, how could they treat the top students so well,” Ren Suo remarked as he shook his head. He said, “When I was the top of my cla.s.s last time, the only privilege I got was to be able to go to the toilet when I wanted to…”
Lin Xianyu was slightly embarra.s.sed as she tugged Gu Yueyan’s sleeves, blus.h.i.+ng. She said softly, “The adults have something to do, we should go back first.”
After all, Ren Suo had treated Lin Xianyu for a few days and helped her to attain perfect Awakening. Although she was curious about what Ren Suo wanted to do, her curiosity was overcome by her heart of grat.i.tude, and she tried to pull her partner back to the dormitory.
“No, you are saying this because you don’t trust Doctor Ren,” Gu Yue said righteously. She continued, “I think that Mr. Ren is a n.o.ble person, a righteous person, a person who does not stoop to low tastes, and as upright as one can be. There would absolutely be nothing to hide, am I right, Mr. Ren?”
“Yes, yes,” Ren Suo said as he nodded. He continued, “However, children should not listen to some of the matters adults talk about, so you should go back first.”
Gu Yueyan turned to look at Dong Chengling and asked, “Sister Ling, may I sleep here today?”
Hearing Dong Chengling call her “Sister Ling”, she was slightly stunned but quickly replied calmly and warmly, “Of course, you may sleep here tonight.”
“Ah! Then I want to sleep here too!” Lin Xianyu exclaimed. Thinking that it was much fun sleeping with her teacher, Lin Xianyu’s playfulness overcame the tinge of guilt towards Ren Suo in her heart.
“No problem, my bed is very big. Moreover, I can Practice tonight so you two can sleep in the bedroom. As for the dormitory management, I will explain to them tomorrow…” Dong Chengling said.
“No, no, let’s sleep together,” Gu Yueyan said as she turned to face Ren Suo and brandished a ‘V’ gesture with her hand to signify her victory. She said, “Doc~ tor~ Ren, you can’t be thinking of staying in the same room as three other girls for the night, right? Shouldn’t you finish what you wanted to do quickly and leave?”
“… Of course, I won’t stay for the night,” Ren Suo replied.
Ren Suo looked at the time on his mobile phone—it was 22:54. He said, “I will leave in a while.”
“Ah, I almost forgot, I need to bring in my was.h.i.+ngs,” Dong Chengling said as she stood up. “You guys should continue chatting first.”
Gu Yueyan sighed as if she was relieved that she had prevented Ren Suo from doing anything “special”. However, even though she was bold and dared to voice her opinions, her actions were ultimately out of some concern for Dong Chengling.
She definitely did not want the cultivation G.o.ddess Dong Chengling to be defiled if any funny chemical factors and hormones formed in Ren Suo.
However, although Ren Suo was not a very motivated person, he had always been a good person who was ordinary but gracious. He was warm-hearted and would not lose his temper, and was polite but not annoying, although he was not the most handsome and was average in the looks department. He was just like what a certain WeChat public account described as a… “spare tire”?
Now that Dong Chengling was not with them, Gu Yueyan also softened her tone and said, “Actually, you don’t have to be fixated on chasing one flower which would not be able to bloom around you. There are many cute and pretty nurses and doctors in the school hospital, and there are also a number of young teachers who are beautiful and of a suitable age to marry. The Heavenly Inst.i.tution of Lian is usually on lockdown and the girls cannot go out to play, so you guys have plenty of opportunities to interact with them…”
“As days pa.s.s, feelings can be developed. The close relations.h.i.+ps between students are also developed due to us being in the cla.s.sroom together over a period of time. You have so much free time as a doctor, and I’m sure you can make use of that time to care for and pay attention to those girls. Without any other males to compare you with, they are not as strong-headed and firm as Teacher Dong, so they will at least be somewhat interested in dating and being in a relations.h.i.+p. Who knows, one of them may be charmed in the heat of the moment…”
“With your ident.i.ty, it will be very easy for you to ask for their WeChat or QQ ID. Your first move should be to invite your target for a meal but do not go to the dining hall. The best way is to invite her to your house and cook for her yourself…” Gu Yueyan said.
Ren Suo had not listened to what Gu Yueyan was saying at first, but the more she said, the more logical it sounded. He nodded as he even took out his mobile phone to note down her advice.
Lin Xianyu also looked at Gu Yueyan in amazement, as she talked exaggeratedly about dressing, dating, how to leave a good first impression, and even about what to text through WeChat after the date. Gu Yueyan explained the steps in a clear and systematic manner, and it almost made Lin Xianyu feel—
—Slightly pitiful.
“Yueyan,” Lin Xianyu whispered into Gu Yueyan’s ear, “Have you been reading too many public account articles and love novels and want to fall in love so badly?”
The great advisor Gu Yueyan who had been talking fluently non-stop suddenly started stammering as she stared fiercely at Lin Xianyu. She pinched Lin Xianyu’s round face and said, “How… how is that possible! How dare you make such bold a.s.sumptions of your cla.s.s chairperson?”
“Mmm… Eh… Bart (but) howl (how) wood (would) ew (you) no (know) so much then?” Lin Xianyu questioned.
“Why do you care!” exclaimed Gu Yueyan.
The two girls began fighting, and Ren Suo also came to his senses—he was not there to learn how to leave the singles’ club from a soph.o.m.ore girl.
He turned to look at Dong Chengling who was bringing in her was.h.i.+ngs from the balcony. Indeed, it was almost time for him to see how Dong Chengling was going to Awaken her s.p.a.ce-type Awakened Ability, after the activation of the Reiki Treasure of Xuan Nation.
Speaking of which, there were a lot of clothes on Dong Chengling’s balcony. However, Ren Suo thought for a while and realized that he either did not wash his clothes at all, or would otherwise wash his clothes in a large batch—it was not because he wanted to save water and electricity, but simply because he lived alone and felt that it was a waste of time to wash just a few articles of clothing, so it was better and more efficient to wash a few days of clothes together.
When Ren Suo looked over, Dong Chengling happened to turn around and noticed the look in Ren Suo’s eyes. She seemed slightly embarra.s.sed as she glared at him and turned back to continue collecting her clothes.
What happened? Ren Suo looked carefully and quickly understood why—she was collecting her underwear.
Even though Dong Chengling was willing to Practice at any cost, she was ultimately still a girl, and it was embarra.s.sing for other men to see her undergarments.
But Ren Suo was not a pervert, so he glanced down at his phone.
It was almost time…
However, Ren Suo felt as if he had forgotten something.
Apart from observing Dong Chengling’s Awakening, his main purpose was to try his luck at getting a key.
However, incidentally, there was another reason, for the Dong Chengling he saw in the game was…
…In a wheelchair.
But Dong Chengling was at home now, so it was highly unlikely for her to be hit by a car, right?
…
Ren Suo turned his head sharply to see a piece of clothing being blown away from the balcony by the wind. Dong Chengling naturally bent over and reached out in an attempt to catch it.
Bam!
Without hesitation, Ren Suo leaped forward as Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu looked at him in surprise. He ran right into the gla.s.s of the balcony as he tried to hold on to Dong Chengling, who looked like she was about to fall off the balcony!
