The next morning, Van came out of his room with two thick dark circles under his eyes, his whole person looking like his spirit, energy, and soul had been squeezed dry.
He subconsciously rubbed his sore waist, and last night's scene surfaced again in his mind.
Last night's "treatment meeting" ultimately ended with everyone holding their own opinions, arguing endlessly without reaching a conclusion.
Mobius insisted on monopolizing the "right to treatment," while Elysia said, "It's only fair if everyone does it together."
Fu Hua stayed red-faced and silent the whole time, while Kiana occasionally blurted out shocking remarks that made cold sweat drip down Van's back.
And under this tense and exciting atmosphere, Van was tormented by this group of girls until three in the morning before he finally escaped.
Although in the end nothing substantial actually happened, just dealing with their battle of words and sharp tongues was enough to leave him utterly exhausted.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Kiana and Raiden Mei were sitting by the window enjoying breakfast.
"Van! Over here!" Kiana waved excitedly when she spotted him.
Van walked over and sat down, greeting weakly, "Morn..."
"Wow! You look terrible!" Kiana looked at him in surprise. "Didn't sleep well last night?"
"You... are you okay?" Raiden Mei handed him a cup of coffee, her face full of concern as she looked at him.
"Still... fine..." Van took the coffee and downed it in one go, trying to numb his exhausted nerves with caffeine.
Kiana suddenly leaned in, asking mysteriously, "So... after a whole night, Van, have you decided who to pick first? Is it me and Mei?"
"Kiana!" Raiden Mei's face turned red. "How can you just ask something like that directly..."
"What's the problem~" Kiana waved her hand nonchalantly. "Didn't we already agree before, that the three of us would be together forever?"
Raiden Mei lowered her head in silence, but those purple eyes of hers kept stealing glances in Van's direction.
"Ah! Right!" Kiana suddenly remembered something important, her eyes lighting up. "My sister Bianca is coming today! And Bronya, Seele, and Teacher Himeko will be coming too~"
Van was struck as if by lightning, stunned on the spot.
It was already enough for him to handle as things were, and now Bianca, Bronya, and Seele were coming?
And Himeko...
Van suddenly felt that his waist really might not survive this.
———
After breakfast, everyone headed to the resort's water park together.
The swimming pool sparkled under the sunlight, and amidst cheerful music, Van stood there with a helpless expression.
Of course, it wasn't because he thought the water park activities were boring, on the contrary, they were too fun, which made all the girls want to drag him along to play.
Sure enough...
"Van! Come try this slide!"
Kiana stood at the top of a ten-meter-high slide, waving. She wore a blue-and-white two-piece swimsuit, gleaming under the sun.
Van looked up and noticed that beside Kiana, Raiden Mei was wearing the same swimsuit design but in a different color, clearly a matching set.
Van was just about to respond when suddenly a soft warm body pressed against his back.
Sirin rubbed against him like a little kitten, saying, "Van~ let's go play the double slide, okay?"
Before Van could answer, a chill ran down his back.
Mobius had appeared nearby without him noticing. Although she wore a conservative black one-piece swimsuit, the tight fit only accentuated her stunning figure even more.
She held two bottles of sunscreen in her hands, her eyes narrowing dangerously.
"Little mouse, come put sunscreen on me."
Sirin immediately clung tightly to Van's arm, "No no, I was first!"
Mobius sneered coldly, about to speak, when a splash of water suddenly landed by her feet.
Elysia walked slowly out from the poolside, her long pink hair wet and clinging to her fair skin. Her bikini was patterned with cute little flowers.
"Oh my~ everyone's here~" She playfully blinked. "Ali, want to play water volleyball? We just happen to be short one person~"
Van felt three pairs of eyes stab into him at the same time, and cold sweat seeped down his forehead.
Just then, Kiana and Raiden Mei came running over excitedly from the slide.
"Van, Van, didn't you say you'd play the ten-meter slide with me and Mei?" Kiana grabbed his other hand directly. "The three of us can fit perfectly on one swim ring!"
Mobius's gaze instantly turned dangerous, "He already chose me as the first last night, so I should have priority."
Van looked at Mobius in confusion, thinking, 'When did I ever say that?'
However, before he could speak, Kiana's next words nearly made his jaw drop.
"Really? But this morning at breakfast, didn't you also say you'd choose me and Mei?"
The air froze instantly.
Mobius and Kiana turned to stare at Van at the same time, "Little mouse, you tell us, who do you pick?"
Van opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
At that moment, Elysia suddenly stepped between them and said, "Alright, alright~ since no one can agree, why don't we all just play together?"
The scene went silent in an instant.
Feeling the gazes of all the girls on him, Van quietly took a step back.
