Mike went to the girl's room, casually grabbed a T-shirt, then went to the bathroom door and knocked.
With a 'whoosh,' the bathroom door swung open, and the girl, wrapped in a bath towel, appeared before Mike.
Accompanied by the mist from the bathroom, water droplets still rolled on the girl's fair skin, and combined with the seductive expression on her face, this scene was enough to make any man's blood boil.
"You're here~" Cady said softly, then extended her hand as if to take the clothes.
But as the girl's hands moved away, the entire bath towel slipped from her body like an onion being peeled.
This time, the girl didn't scream; instead, she gazed at Mike with a dazed look in her eyes.
With such beauty before him, how could he resist?
Mike immediately transformed from a gentleman into a werewolf.
Intense sounds of battle echoed within the bathroom…
It must be said, Cady was indeed a child who grew up in the wilderness of Africa; in terms of initial combat ability, she was even stronger than Lina, who studied dance.
[Charm Attribute + 20], [Constitution Primary Attribute + 2]… [Memory Palace (Trait)], [Intelligence Attribute + 1]…
Memory Palace: Within one's mental space, a grand storage room is opened up, where information such as pictures, sounds, colors, and smells can be stored.
She was indeed a treasure girl; Mike tallied his gains after a round of 'battle'.
He hadn't expected Cady to give him such a big surprise.
Mike had originally been wondering if he could acquire something like the Memory Palace from Sheldon.
As it turned out, what he sought in one place appeared in another.
However, this was understandable; Cady had received home education from a young age, and not long after entering school, she caught up with the school's learning progress, even demonstrating extraordinary talent in mathematics.
It would be unreasonable to say that Cady didn't have something special about her.
And Mike, having received such a great benefit, gently carried the girl, who was sprawled beside him, carefully into the room.
...
The next day, Mike, who had 'eaten' Cady, also appropriately showed some closeness to the girl at school.
In the cafeteria at noon, Mike brought Lina and openly sat at the same table with the three members of The Plastics again.
"Cady, you look so good today." Gretchen praised her sincerely.
Yes, Cady, having been carefully 'taken care of', looked exceptionally well today, and her skin was much softer, smoother, and more radiant than usual.
Karen and Lina at the table had both experienced this kind of change.
Now, their eyes when looking at Cady were much more affectionate, as if they were looking at one of their own.
Only Gretchen was still in the dark.
"Is, is that so?" Cady's face turned unnaturally red as she recalled what happened last night, then she explained guiltily, "I recently discovered a very good skincare product."
After speaking, Cady even glared at Mike resentfully; he had certainly put her through a lot last night.
"Really? Cady, what product did you use? Can you recommend it to me?" Gretchen, who was oblivious, asked.
Girls have a strong curiosity about beauty.
"This…" Cady paused for a good while before awkwardly saying, "This product is not easy to buy; let's talk about it next time."
"Alright." Gretchen was a little disappointed but didn't say anything more.
Then, the girls chattered about other topics.
Cady, having escaped a tight spot, looked at Mike, who was calmly eating his lunch across from her, and couldn't help but step on his foot under the table.
Mike, who had gained the advantage, responded to the girl's little tantrum with a gentle smile.
On the other side, Regina learned from her family last night that what Cady had given her was not a weight loss product at all.
Those energy drinks and energy bars were high-calorie foods used by athletes for gaining weight.
Understanding the situation, Regina realized that Cady had never sincerely intended to join The Plastics, but rather aimed to ruin her.
Regina, who had been simmering with anger all morning, was now striding furiously towards the cafeteria; she wanted to expose Cady's hypocritical mask in front of everyone.
"You little bitch—" Regina, entering the cafeteria, charged directly at Cady.
While shouting, she also pulled out a handful of energy bars from her pocket and threw them at Cady's head.
Fortunately, Mike was quick-witted and shielded Cady with his arm. Then, he stood up and blocked Regina, asking, "What do you want to do?"
At this moment, Cady looked at Regina's enraged expression and instantly knew that her little trick had been exposed.
However, with Mike helping her out now, Cady also took the opportunity to hide behind him.
"What do I want to do?" Regina, already furious, became even more enraged seeing Cady intimately leaning behind Mike. She roared like a madwoman, "She's a shameless little bitch!!!"
Saying that, Regina pulled out another bottle of energy drink from her pocket, uncapped it, and was about to splash it on Cady.
"What's wrong with you?" Mike grabbed Regina's wrist and took the drink from her hand.
Regardless of who was right or wrong, now that Cady had become his woman, Mike would not let anyone harm her.
Meanwhile, the members of the Mike Fanclub nearby also stood up, their eyes fixed menacingly on the troublesome Queen Bee.
The students eating in the cafeteria were also startled by the commotion.
Many, eager to watch a good show, speculated that Regina was retaliating against Cady because she had lost her position in The Plastics.
Others guessed that Cady had taken Mike, thereby angering Regina…
...
Janis and Damian, who were eating at the edge of the cafeteria, also noticed Cady's predicament.
So, the two of them, with a strong sense of loyalty, rushed over and separated Regina.
Janis even glared at Regina and said, "Those products were all given by me to Cady. If you want trouble, come find me."
As mentioned before, Janis had a deep-seated old grudge with Regina.
At this moment, seeing Regina's exasperated look made Janis feel a sense of satisfaction.
"You, you all just wait, this won't end so easily—" Regina saw that everyone was protecting Cady, knew she couldn't do anything to her right now, so she left a harsh warning and then stormed out of the cafeteria in a huff.
"Were you scared?" Mike asked Cady, turning to her after Regina left.
The Queen Bee's fierce demeanor earlier was indeed a bit intimidating.
"I'm fine." Cady shook her head, hearing Mike's concern.
"What exactly happened?" Mike continued to ask the girl.
"I…" Cady was about to confess to Mike, but then she saw Janis across from her continuously winking at her.
"Can I tell you later?" Cady also realized that what she had done to Regina earlier was not very honorable.
Suddenly confessing to Mike might cause him to dislike her.
"It's alright, it's fine if you don't want to say." Mike said casually.
Actually, he wasn't interested in conflicts between girls. If it weren't related to Cady, he wouldn't have asked.
On the other side, seeing that Cady hadn't foolishly revealed everything, Janis, who wanted to take responsibility for the whole matter, subtly nodded at Cady and then pulled Damian away from the central area of the cafeteria.
For fringe students like Janis and Damian, being the center of attention was actually quite uncomfortable.
And the students in the cafeteria, who had once again witnessed a good show, saw Regina leave defeated again.
Some gossip targeting Regina also slowly spread among the crowd.
