3 A Prepared Surprise
“Yan Zhen?”
“Little Brother Yan Zhen?”
Both Yan Ruyu and Mi Xue’er stared at him, their expressions quickly changing to delight.
“You’re finally back!”
“I missed you so much!”
Mi Xue’er, throwing caution to the wind, embraced him with her free arm, hooking her hand around his neck and bouncing, her well-developed C+ breasts rubbing against his chest.
Fortunately, Yan Zhen had recovered from his previous “sensitive” state, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.
However, compared to a mere C+, he was more concerned about the current situation.
“Senior Sister Xue’er, calm down. You haven’t told me what happened yet.”
Yan Ruyu explained, “Nothing much happened. Xue’er and I both got first place in the year-end test, so we were dueling to decide who was truly the best.”
Ah, this…
“I see,” Yan Zhen said, sweating a little. “I thought you two had a falling out while I was gone. —Speaking of which, did I interrupt your duel?”
He looked up and noticed everyone looking at him with strange expressions, as if saying, “What are you doing, kid?” He immediately felt awkward.
“In that case, I’ll go down now, hehe. You two can continue.”
“Wait! We’re not fighting anymore, right Ruyu?”
“Y-yes.”
Mi Xue’er happily took Yan Zhen’s arm, while Yan Ruyu wasn’t so bold as to be so intimate with him in public. She simply stayed close to him as the three of them walked down from the platform.
“Cousin!”
As soon as they got down, Yan Meng’er pounced on him, her petite body crashing into his chest, her ample 36D pressing against him. Even through her winter uniform, he could feel its softness.
Yan Zhen stroked his cousin’s head, smiling. “I’m back, Meng’er. Sorry for making you worry.”
Yan Meng’er buried her face in his shoulder, shaking her head and whimpering. “As long as Cousin comes back, Meng’er will wait, no matter how long!”
“Silly girl.”
Yan Zhen comforted his cousin while looking at Instructor Yu Xuan.
The instructor was still gazing at him with her usual gentleness, her eyes holding not only the care of a teacher for her student, but also a hint of romantic affection.
“Sorry, Instructor, for taking such a long break…”
“It’s alright. I’m glad you returned safely,” Instructor Yu Xuan said softly. “Welcome back, Yan Zhen~”
“Yes, I’m back. Thank you, Instructor.”
Xiao Xinyan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but hesitated.
“Senior Sister Xinyan, you’ve become even more beautiful after a few months.”
“Eh? H-have I?” Xiao Xinyan blushed, touching her face, both shy and happy. “You’ve become more handsome too~”
Mi Xue’er felt a pang of jealousy and shook Yan Zhen’s arm. “Little Brother Yan Zhen, what about me, what about me? Have I become prettier?” She blinked, her expression pleading for a compliment.
Yan Zhen looked at her and smiled. “You’re already very beautiful.”
“Cousin, what about Meng’er?”
“You’re beautiful too, you’re the most beautiful.”
“Cousin, you’re so mean~”
Yan Meng’er was overjoyed, hugging Yan Zhen tightly.
“Alright, alright,” Instructor Yu Xuan clapped her hands. “Let’s go home. We’re blocking the way here.”
“Yes, yes, let’s go home!”
Mi Xue’er and Yan Meng’er each took one of Yan Zhen’s arms, sandwiching him between them as they walked out. Xiao Xinyan and Yan Ruyu followed closely behind. Instructor Yu Xuan explained the situation to the referee instructor and then left as well.
Inside the arena, the students and instructors watched their departing figures, speechless.
“That Yan Zhen kid is really lucky with women!”
“Even Mi Xue’er is throwing herself at him—I can’t accept this!”
“Damn it, I’m so envious!”
Most of the boys were stamping their feet, consumed by envy and jealousy. However, a few graduating students noticed something else.
“Xiao Mie, did you see how Yan Zhen entered the arena just now?”
“He flew.”
The two exchanged glances, both finding it hard to believe.
“Not only did he fly, but he also easily neutralized their Mystic Skills after landing. Those were Master-level Mystic Skills!”
“I can’t see through his aura anymore—what did that kid do during these three months? He’s clearly become much stronger!”
Their own progress in these three months had been considerable, especially Xiao Mie, who had suppressed his realm for so long. After breaking through, his cultivation speed was remarkable, breaking through two stars in three months.
He had originally thought it would be enough to surpass Yan Zhen, but now it seemed that he was becoming more and more formidable.
With some time left before the graduation ceremony, the two turned and left, planning to return to secluded cultivation.
Unaware of the pressure he had put on his classmates, Yan Zhen went to the market with the five girls, bought many ingredients, and returned to the familiar house.
Led by Instructor Yu Xuan, the girls prepared to showcase their culinary skills in the kitchen, preparing a welcome-home feast for Yan Zhen, telling him to wait obediently in his room.
Yan Zhen had no objections.
Returning to his familiar room, it was still spotlessly clean, not a speck of dust in sight.
Clearly, they had been cleaning it every day while he was gone.
“It must have been Meng’er and Cousin…”
Yan Zhen smiled warmly.
Feeling a bit sweaty, Yan Zhen decided to take a bath.
Opening the wardrobe, he took out a set of the academy’s winter uniform. As he closed the wardrobe door, he noticed two pink packages he hadn’t seen before underneath the clothes.
Yan Zhen crouched down, took out the packages, and after a moment’s thought, opened one.
“Th-this is…”
Yan Zhen was startled, quickly covering the contents again and nervously looking around the room. After confirming no one was there, he opened it again.
Inside was a fluffy cat costume and a dog costume.
Ears, tail, paw gloves, a bell collar, and even matching lingerie and a thong. These were clearly meant for… intimate purposes, not for serious cosplay!
“Where did these come from?”
Yan Zhen had only seen such lingerie on his “good sister.” When he was treating her, she would change into different styles every day for him to remove.
It was an “idea” his good sister had gotten from Yan Zhen’s mouth in a prophetic dream. Currently, she hadn’t shown any intention of mass-producing these items, only wearing them herself.
Yan Zhen was confused.
Looking closely, the cat and dog costumes in his hands were somewhat crudely made, with some loose threads, clearly the work of an amateur.
Could it be Meng’er?
Yan Zhen had a hunch. He put the packages back, closed the wardrobe, grabbed his uniform, and headed to the bathroom, taking a nice shower and then meditating in the hot water.
Half an hour later, Yan Zhen finished cultivating, got up, changed his clothes, and left the bathroom.
Arriving at the dining hall, the table was already laden with dishes. The four girls continued bringing out more until the entire table was full.
“Instructor Yu Xuan’s cooking skills have improved again…”
Yan Zhen naturally enjoyed the meal immensely, even drinking quite a bit of wine. By the end, his handsome face was flushed.
Just as he was about to get up and return to his room, Yan Meng’er whispered in his ear, “Cousin, my sister and I have prepared a surprise for you. Remember not to lock your door after dark~”
