Subconsciously ignoring the soreness in his feet, Lu Ze returned to the dormitory, looking exhausted. The moment he opened the door, he saw a girl sitting on the sofa, as if waiting for him to come back.
Upon seeing Lu Ze, the figure quickly got up from the sofa and threw herself into his arms, saying softly:
"You won't blame me for what happened today, will you? I agreed... so easily."
Kiana looked up at him. The memory of the morning made her deeply regret agreeing to Theresa's request so readily. She really was too foolish.
"Why would I blame you? But Kiana, don't do this again next time. There's a first time and a second time, but there shouldn't be a third. This is something we both know. Even if I'm kind, I have my limits."
Patting her back, Lu Ze noticed the bags and packets of snacks on the table. His eyebrows slightly rose. What was going on?
"I understand... You must be hungry after working for so long, right? I specifically went out to buy these snacks this afternoon, and they're still warm. I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I want to eat them with you."
He walked over to the table, where there were more than a dozen snacks, a considerable expense.
"Thank you, Kiana. Then let me tell you some news too. I'll help tally the scores tonight, and I've seen your results. Guess how many points you got?"
Hearing that her grades were out, Kiana was ecstatic. She immediately grabbed Lu Ze's shoulders and started shaking him, pouting adorably,
"Just tell me, I don't want to guess~"
Unable to resist this move, Lu Ze quickly surrendered.
"Don't worry, you passed all your subjects. Now you don't have to be afraid of Ms. Himeko. It seems the tutoring has been very effective. You've worked hard too, haven't you?"
Upon hearing that she had passed all her subjects, Kiana jumped up from the sofa. Her earlier gloomy mood was instantly lifted. Hehe... Now she didn't have to be afraid of Auntie Himeko.
"Alright, alright, let's finish eating and go to bed. It's not too late now. Tomorrow, we still have a whole day off. I'll take you to the amusement park."
One piece of good news after another completely overwhelmed Kiana. She was dazed and could barely speak coherently.
Lu Ze quickly finished the snacks. Having already eaten dinner, his stomach felt even more stuffed. He returned to his room and lay on the bed, completely unwilling to move.
Perhaps it was due to being too full, but he couldn't fall asleep for over an hour. Bored, Lu Ze picked up his phone to scroll through it.
Suddenly, a message popped up. The contact was labeled "Client."
"It's so late, and someone's still looking for me... Wait, could it conflict with tomorrow's plans?"
After a brief exchange, as expected, the assassination mission conflicted with tomorrow's plans. What should he do?
He couldn't possibly be at the amusement park and assassinating someone at the same time. Was he supposed to split into two? Annoying!
His sleeplessness turned into greater frustration. After thinking for a long time, he decisively chose to go to sleep. He would worry about tomorrow's problems tomorrow!
Early in the morning, before he was even fully awake, Kiana called him.
"Lu Ze, Lu Ze! Hurry up and get up! The sun is shining on your butt! You still have to take me to the amusement park today! How can you sleep in? Get up now! Ծ‸Ծ."
He stumbled out of bed groggily and immediately head-butted the doorframe of the bathroom.
"Ow, that hurts..."
His hazy state vanished instantly. After all, the doorframe was quite hard. One more bump and he'd probably have a bruise.
"Ah! How did a night go by so fast? Now I have to worry about today's matters again."
Even after sleeping all night, Lu Ze hadn't come up with a solution. Why couldn't he split himself in two? So annoying!
Dragging his tired body, he held his toothbrush in his right hand and faced the mirror, brushing his teeth listlessly.
"Lu Ze, can you hurry up?! If we go early, there won't be as many people. I'm really looking forward to our amusement park trip today!"
"Kiana, stop rushing me. The amusement park isn't going anywhere. Why are you in such a hurry? Eat your breakfast properly first."
Listening to their conversation below, Lu Ze's mouth twitched. Was this really a good idea? He regretted telling them about the amusement park last night. If they weren't going today, he would have had time to deal with the assassination mission.
He had asked for basic information last night. The target was supposed to appear at the department store, which was only about a kilometer from the amusement park. If he ran fast enough, he could still complete it.
He'd have to come up with an excuse. As he thought about it, he finished washing up quickly. As soon as he walked out of his room, he bumped into Himeko, who was also emerging from her room.
He collided head-on with her ample chest, and was even bounced back slightly. Lu Ze was stunned. What was going on? So bouncy, were you serious? Ms. Himeko.
"Are you alright? Why are you staring at me like that? I know I'm attractive, but you don't have to stare like that!"
Knowing his gaze was a bit intrusive, Lu Ze coughed a few times with a slight blush and fled the scene.
Watching Lu Ze's hasty retreat, Himeko chuckled softly. He was still just a young boy, so shy.
Downstairs, he saw Kiana fidgeting restlessly. She was struggling to eat her breakfast. It was such delicious food, yet she couldn't swallow it.
Seeing Lu Ze come down, Kiana beckoned him to sit beside her.
"Eat your breakfast quickly, Lu Ze. After breakfast, can we go to the amusement park?"
The word "amusement park" had been repeated so many times that Bronya, sitting nearby, was already tired of it. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head.
"Lu Ze, are you two going to the amusement park today? Can Bronya come along? Bronya would also like to go to the amusement park."
Mei, who had just come out of the kitchen, joined in the fun, saying:
"I want to go too. Why don't we all go together? It's a day off anyway, so let's relax."
Himeko, standing upstairs, expressed her agreement. An amusement park! It had been a while. She suddenly felt like riding a thrilling roller coaster.
"No, why does everyone want to go? Absolutely not, I disagree! This was supposed to be something for just the two of us. How can you all join in the fun?"
Seeing the other three wanting to go, Kiana vehemently disagreed. Was this okay? No, it wasn't. She finally had a chance to do something fun with Lu Ze, and now they all wanted to tag along. Was this right?
However, they were the majority, and soon enough, Kiana was defeated. She reluctantly agreed to the other three. In the end, she was outnumbered.
