NOVEL WEB chapter 137
Chapter 62, Senior Sister, save me!
“Ha? Make her cry?”
Mu En looked at the senior in front of him with a confused expression:
“Why?”
“Well… it’s for a little personal reason.”
Anna said, twirling a strand of hair with her fingers.
“Are you sure it’s not because you want to play a prank on me?”
Mu En couldn’t help but reveal a cold smile that said he had seen through everything long ago:
“I get it, this is just another one of the senior’s new tricks. I won’t be fooled.”
“Oh, you don’t want to, junior?”
“Of course not. After all, making a little girl cry for no reason is something that will invite a lightning strike, right?”
“So, making the senior cry is okay then?”
Anna gently touched the corner of her eye, looking like she was about to cry:
“You clearly said before that you would do anything to repay me, yet you won’t even help with this small favor. It seems that words from a playboy like you are completely untrustworthy.
Wuwuwu, the senior is so sad.”
“…”
Mu En fell silent for a moment, then sighed:
“I can help, but the senior has to tell me why. You don’t seem like someone who would deliberately bully a little girl.”
“A reason?”
Anna withdrew her sorrowful expression, propping her chin on her hand, her gaze drifting off to an unknown distance.
At that moment, Mu En seemed to see a sense of loneliness in her that felt like it didn’t belong to this world.
“Just consider it my selfish desire, junior.”
……
……
“Come on, Mu En, try our specialty creamy stew.”
“Oh oh.”
“Come on, Mu En, try our specialty baked snails.”
“Hmm hmm.”
“Come on, Mu En, try our specialty sirloin steak.”
“Ah ah.”
In the elegantly decorated small restaurant, the music of a famous composer played, the long melody flowing from the phonograph along with the singer’s melodious high notes, like a babbling brook.
With the doors and windows tightly shut, in the dimly lit space, several red candles burned on the pure white tablecloth, the flickering candlelight casting a rosy glow on everyone’s cheeks, just like the sparkling red wine.
Even a noblewoman with the strictest of etiquette would surely exclaim that this is a perfect candlelight dinner, most suitable for the purest emotions of young boys and girls, reaching the climax of a date in a romantic atmosphere.
At this moment, if the boy were to produce a ring adorned with a huge diamond, accompanied by a confession of true love, it would undoubtedly move the girl to tears, resolving her to marry him even if he were a dog.
But, the premise is…
The date…
Is not with his damn three friends!
Three!
A word that will never have anything to do with romance.
The only things that go with three are wardrobes, under the bed, white studies, bull-headed men, “I came first,” and playing Dou Di Zhu!
When a date is associated with three, it already feels like a close encounter with a chopping knife!
So.
Senior sister, save me!
Mu En was dodging the obvious attempts by Shali to get close and continuously feed him, casting a pleading glance at the instigator, senior sister Anna.
But Senior Sister Anna not only didn’t save him, she even gave him a small fist pump.
You can do it! That was probably her intention.
I can do it, my ass!
Ever since Shali found out that she and Senior Sister Anna were on a date, she seemed like a different person, her strong advances threatening to melt even the most stoic straight man into a lovesick, blushing boy.
This does not match your persona at all, okay? Does it suit your thick-framed glasses and braided hair? Don’t you know it’s forbidden to change here?
In any case, Mu En felt a bit overwhelmed.
Mu En subtly shifted his position. Sitting so close to Shali, he realized that beneath her loose uniform, she had a figure that could rival Senior Sister Anna’s.
But the more he noticed this, the more restless he became, especially in front of Senior Sister Anna, who looked like she was enjoying the show.
“Um… Shali.”
Mu En once again blocked Shali’s attempts to feed him, unable to suppress a bitter smile as he said:
“I’m not a child anymore; I can eat by myself.”
“This is just a little token of my appreciation!” Shali insisted.
“I’ve already felt your appreciation!”
“Really?”
Shali finally gave up her offensive, tilting her head as she asked.
“Then is it good?”
“It’s good, it’s good!”
Mu En nodded vigorously.
Although he couldn’t taste anything due to his overwhelming nervousness, at this moment, even if the food was truly a culinary disaster, he had to smile and utter words of praise.
“It’s wonderful that you like it, Shali.”
Shali appeared very pleased, as if this was the happiest thing for her.
Looking at Shali’s bashful face, Mu En felt a slight twinge of guilt.
But he quickly buried that small feeling deep in his heart, smiling as he pushed the altered plate of food in front of Shali.
“You’ve been busy for so long, Shali. You should eat too.”
“I…”
Shali’s cute eyes behind her black-framed glasses darted around, her shy cheeks glowing under the candlelight, as if they could be squeezed for water.
“I want Mu En to… feed me with his own hands.”
“…”
Mu En’s mouth twitched, but at this point, he could only use his trembling hand to grasp the silver spoon, and, under Shali’s expectant gaze, bring the fragrant food to her.
Shali swallowed it in one bite, her face full of happiness.
“It’s so delicious, just as expected from the food fed to me by Mu En.”
“Is… is it?”
Mu En responded while nearly popping his eyes out.
What the heck, he had packed that food full of mustard!
Is this little girl really that bold?
Just as he was thinking, Shali opened her soft pink lips again, like a begging baby.
I want more!
“…”
Senior!
Save me!
Mu En sent another distress signal to Anna.
But Senior Anna was completely focused on battling her steak, with no time to pay attention to this side.
Only her little fists quietly rose again, giving a squeeze.
You can do it!
Seeing his senior so unconcerned, even fanning the flames, Mu En felt an unexpected pang in his heart.
— Senior, you’re so open-minded, it’s making me sad.
Realizing he was completely isolated and helpless, Mu En took a deep breath.
Don’t panic.
—
Mu En, don’t panic.
Think positively.
At least if the senior doesn’t care about such things, wouldn’t that avoid the legendary battlefield of chaos?
In other words, as long as I complete the task assigned by the senior and handle that little girl, Shali, well, everything can land smoothly!
That’s right, a bright future awaits!
But it’s just fate; watch me shatter it with my own hands—
The sound of wind chimes began to ring.
At that moment, Mu En seemed to truly see endless light flooding into his vision.
But that wasn’t his future; it was someone opening the tightly shut door of the restaurant.
“Hello, is anyone there?”
A figure in a maid outfit stood in the backlight, looking into the restaurant.
Seemingly unable to immediately adjust to the dim light inside, she squinted her eyes slightly.
In that moment.
At the moment he saw the face of that figure.
The crisis alarm in Mu En’s mind buzzed and exploded.
Even though he had experienced countless deaths, never had the alarm been as intense as this time.
A chilling terror pierced through him like countless needles, stabbing into his soul.
After a brief moment of confusion, shock, and fear, his consciousness raced wildly.
The scoundrel hidden deep within him was fully awakened; before those dignified eyes could see him, he suddenly lowered his head and instinctively hugged Anna’s fair thigh under the table.
“Senior, you really have to save me this time!”
