Chapter 154 - Accident (1/2)

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 class 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 class last time, the only privilege I got was to be able to go to the toilet when I wanted to…”

Lin Xianyu was slightly embarrassed as she tugged Gu Yueyan’s sleeves, blushing. 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 gratitude, 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 noble 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 washings,” 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 goddess 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 Institution 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…”
