In the room late at night, the air seemed to have solidified.
Van stood at the doorway, surrounded by a group of girls staring at him like hungry tigers, cold sweat slowly sliding down his forehead.
Elysia, smiling sweetly, clung to his arm, while Mobius stood nearby with a cold expression.
Fu Hua lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and Pardofelis shrank trembling in the corner.
Meanwhile, Ivana blocked the doorway with a mischievous grin, afraid he'd run away.
"Um..." Van forced himself to speak, "It's getting late... how about... we talk about this tomorrow?"
"No way~" Elysia playfully blinked, her tone light and cheerful, "Van's condition is really urgent, how can we delay it until tomorrow?"
Van was speechless inside.
'My dear Elysia, please stop fanning the flames at a time like this.'
'Don't you know the moment you say something like that, I really have no idea how to survive tonight?'
Sure enough, Mobius gave a cold snort when she heard it, "Stop wasting time. Tonight is still long. Instead of resisting, you'd better accept it early."
Van, '...'
He looked toward Fu Hua for help, hoping this always calm and rational comrade could, like usual, save him from the situation.
But Fu Hua only kept her head lowered, her cheeks red, still not recovered from the earlier "closet incident."
Seeing this, Van sighed helplessly in his heart, 'Hua is still too honest, something like this hits her too hard.'
Then Van turned his eyes to Pardofelis, only to have her immediately avert her gaze, pretending to look at the scenery everywhere.
"Old Man, just accept your fate." Ivana said with a grin, "You're not escaping tonight."
Van took a deep breath, trying a last struggle, "I think Vill-V's theory might not be that rigorous, maybe we should study it more..."
"Study?" Mobius narrowed her eyes, "Fine, then let's study it right now."
As she said that, she reached out and grabbed Van's collar, pretending to drag him into the bedroom.
"Wait!"
At this critical moment, Kiana suddenly squeezed out from the crowd, blocking in front of Van with a serious face.
"Mobius, even though Van's condition is important, something like this still requires respecting his own will, right?"
Van was so moved he almost cried, "Kiana..."
But the next second, Kiana turned her head toward him, her face serious, "So, Van, who do you choose first?"
Van, '...??'
Kiana started counting on her fingers, "Mobius, squad leader, Elysia, Eden, Pado, or..."
At this point, Kiana paused, her face suddenly turning red, "Or you could also consider me and Mei together..."
Van, '???'
Ivana, 'Great, great! I've taught you well!'
Van, 'Kiana, you rascal!'
'Also, if you want to do it, then go yourself, why drag Mei into this?'
'Don't you know Mei definitely won't join you in fooling around?'
Raiden Mei's face flushed as she said, "Kiana, what nonsense are you spouting!"
'See? Got into trouble, my bug!'
"T-This kind of... three people together... isn't that too... bold?" Raiden Mei said with a red face, "At least wait until we're more familiar with each other to try something like that..."
Van, '???'
'My Lady Mei!'
'Why are you blushing like a teapot boiling over?'
'Shouldn't you directly and firmly reject Kiana's ridiculous idea instead?'
While Van ranted like crazy in his heart, Elysia giggled from the side.
"Aiya~ so Kiana is this bold too~ Looks like we can't fall behind either~"
"Neh neh~ Van~" Elysia nudged Van with her elbow, "Actually, Eden and I could also... mmmph!"
Eden, "Elysia!"
Watching Elysia get forcibly silenced by Eden, Mobius sneered and stepped forward, "Heh, get in line."
Van looked at the noisy group, utterly hopeless.
So in the end, there was no way to escape being "tired" tonight?
Was there really no one to save him at such a crucial time?
Just as the atmosphere was about to spiral out of control, the landline phone in the room suddenly rang.
The shrill ringing stunned everyone for a moment.
Van, as if receiving an imperial pardon, quickly pulled free from Mobius's hand, "I'll answer it!"
But as he hurried to the phone and was just about to pick up the receiver, Mobius somehow had followed right behind him.
"Little mouse~ This late at night, who could be calling you? Don't tell me it's some secret lover I don't know about?"
As she said this, Mobius subconsciously glanced at Pardofelis in the crowd, startling the poor girl again.
Van was left speechless.
He had only thought of escaping just now, where had he considered so many details?
Besides, who could possibly be calling at this hour?
Seeing him fall silent, Mobius's smile grew sharper.
"Why aren't you saying anything, is that silent admission?"
Under the burning gazes of everyone, Van had no choice but to press the speakerphone, "Hello?"
Soon, a somewhat familiar voice came from the other side.
"Mr. Van, this is the resort's general services department. The deluxe suite you booked earlier is now ready, you may move in anytime."
Van, '???'
'What the hell, man!'
'Are you serious right now?'
He had absolutely no memory of booking any deluxe suite.
Feeling the temperature around him suddenly drop, Van hurriedly said, "Wait, I didn't..."
"It was Ms. Pado who booked it earlier for you," the voice politely added, "She said you might need a private space."
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned toward the cornered Pardofelis.
Pardofelis, '!!!'
"N-No! I didn't! I never!" Pardofelis frantically waved her hands, "When did I ever..."
Suddenly she remembered something, and her voice stopped abruptly.
She really had arranged this earlier this afternoon, but that was for...
Mobius narrowed her eyes, "Oh? Looks like our little kitty has been making plenty of arrangements behind the scenes~"
Pardofelis was on the verge of tears.
It's over, it's over, this time even jumping into a holy water river wouldn't wash her clean.
First there was the ultra-thin 001 that mysteriously appeared in her hands, now it was an unwitting deluxe suite.
Pardofelis was completely done for.
People often say they're played by capital, but why is it that now, as capital herself, she's the one being played?
Life is hard, the kitty sighs.
With Mobius pressing closer and closer, Pardofelis could only muster all her strength to cry out, "Boss Van, I don't want to die!"
