Chapter 1544: Chapter 458: Abrupt Halt
"..."
In the classroom, the lights were bright, but for some reason, the blinding whiteness in front of Yan Huan was more dazzling than the overhead lights.
He widened his eyes, utterly shocked, and for a moment couldn’t tear his gaze away, completely stunned.
"Come here, Yan Huan, I’ll show you this!"
In the room, Aria was not aware of anything unusual and adorably waved her hand up and down in front of Yan Huan.
After speaking, she happily ran back into the room to fetch something.
"!!"
Who knew that the view created by her hand gesture made Yan Huan’s eyes narrow involuntarily.
He opened his mouth, watching Aria’s back as he slowly snapped back to his senses. As he walked into the room, he immediately turned around to close the door.
Even after entering the room, he checked the curtains one more time to make sure they were closed tight... even though he had already checked when he came to the club’s teaching building.
What can be said, in terms of guarding the food...
Once assured everything was fine, he finally turned to Aria, and quickly walked over to her to ask,
"Aria, what are you doing?!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Aria blinked her clear eyes and replied,
"Nothing... nothing really... What’s wrong? Oh, wait! I’m preparing a surprise for you!"
"Is this... the surprise you mentioned?"
"Huh? Yeah!"
Yan Huan’s eyes widened, his brain instantly went numb.
Wait, wait...
What’s going on now?
Could it be that An Le taught Aria some weird stuff in private?
After all, don’t be fooled by how this idiot Aria established the Hentai Club and plays around, Yan Huan knows she doesn’t really understand anything.
She’s like a child, just curious and playful about things, but does she really understand what any of this means?
It’s hard to say!
Just like now, does she really realize what she’s doing?
"Oh, I just saw those girls being close to you, doing such things. They have it, so I want it too!"
"Uh... I just thought it looked fun! Like last time, when we secretly did that behind Ye Shiyu’s back..."
Maybe that’s exactly Aria’s mindset!!
But...
If not explained properly, it might not be a good thing.
"But... Yan Huan, why do you do such things with others, but not with me... Do you hate me?"
"I’ve already gathered the courage to do this, yet you..."
Just thinking about Aria’s dejected expression due to his refusal made Yan Huan’s heart skip a beat.
Moreover, at this moment, the previously illusory interface was still vivid in his mind.
[Crab Coin Task]
[You’ve known Aria for so long, yet nothing has happened. It’s time for your relationship to progress further!]
[Please proceed with Aria’s consent to deepen the relationship]
[Reward: 5 Crab Coins]
Thinking of these points, despite the feeling of something being amiss, Yan Huan couldn’t help but sigh and said,
"Aria, listen to me... At least not at school. We can go to a hotel after school then..."
"What hotel?"
"?"
Looking up, he saw Aria holding a white dress and clumsily putting it over herself...
In that straightforward way, pulling it down from top to bottom.
Yan Huan had seen girls wear dresses many times, whether it be An Le, Bai Yi, or Sakuragi Hitomi...
But none wore it as roughly as she did.
"Heave-ho... heave-ho..."
After she put on the white dress, she tidied her clothes and hair, then blinked her eyes with anticipation and asked Yan Huan,
"Look, how is it? Does it look good?"
"..."
Hearing this, Yan Huan felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.
Calming himself down, he couldn’t help but notice more details beyond "whiteness" and "rosiness."
For example...
Had Aria applied something on her face and lips today?
"Wait, Aria, your face and lips..."
Aria showed a look of surprise, like her prepared surprise had been discovered, and gave Yan Huan a thumbs up,
"I applied lip balm and secretly used my mom’s skincare products!"
Indeed.
Previously, there was nothing on Aria’s face, just a plain washed face.
Yet, even so, her deep-set, striking features, long lashes, blue eyes, and sleek black hair made even the fully made-up girls gasp and exclaim:
"Model anomaly!!"
But today...
Besides the facial products, even her hair...
Yan Huan looked at her incredibly cute and beautiful twin ponytails, simple yet special for Aria, who usually relied on others to do her hair.
"..."
Yan Huan’s gaze gradually shifted to the white dress on her.
Before him, Aria raised her head and spread her arms out proudly, as if presenting herself.
No doubt about it...
The dress too.
Aria never wore dresses.
Her most common outfits were all sorts of sport shorts, always choosing convenience, fitting her habit of bouncing around all day.
But today, three distinct features made it impossible for Yan Huan to ignore.
"These... are the surprises you prepared, Aria?"
"Yeah, what else did you think?"
"I thought..."
Yan Huan opened his mouth but suddenly didn’t know what to say.
He thought it was something else.
Aye...
This misconception led me astray!
