Chapter 63: An Unexpected Blessing
Chu Fang moved like a self-proclaimed elite ninja.
Keeping his back pressed against the walls, he carefully followed behind Chu Luoshen while trying his absolute best not to be noticed.
Every few seconds, he would poke his head around corners.
The moment Chu Luoshen headed downstairs...
Chu Fang immediately did an awkward somersault behind the hallway railing before tiptoeing after her.
It looked incredibly stupid.
Thankfully, nobody was around to witness it.
Soon, Chu Luoshen exited the school building.
Chu Fang followed close behind her.
Then suddenly...
Chu Luoshen turned around.
Chu Fang instantly dove headfirst into a nearby bush.
Leaves stuck all over his hair and forehead as he froze completely.
Chu Luoshen blinked.
"...Must’ve been the wind."
Shrugging slightly, she continued walking toward her car.
Chu Fang slowly peeked out of the bush.
"...How am I supposed to follow a car?"
[Don’t worry, Host. I’ve got you covered! ]
Chu Luoshen entered her car and fastened her seatbelt before pulling out her phone.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally messaged Shen Tian.
She directly told him she wanted to go on a date tonight with him.
Technically, she could’ve simply lied to Chu Fang earlier.
But she intentionally wanted evidence.
That way, her little brother wouldn’t become suspicious later.
Back at Qin Ruobing’s apartment, Shen Tian was currently relaxing comfortably with his naked harem when he saw the message pop up.
Seeing Chu Luoshen asking him out made him smile slightly.
He accepted immediately and began getting himself ready to go pick her up.
The moment Chu Luoshen saw his reply.
Her entire face brightened.
"I should hurry home and get ready..."
At this moment, she looked less like a strict teacher and more like a schoolgirl experiencing her first crush.
Soon afterward, she drove away toward her home.
. . .
Twenty-five minutes later, Chu Luoshen finally arrived home.
She entered her cozy house happily while mentally planning what outfit to wear tonight.
Then...
Less than 15 minutes later...
Chu Fang finally arrived.
Or more accurately...
Collapsed nearby.
Sweating heavily and breathing like he was about to die, Chu Fang hunched over a tiny bicycle with training wheels.
His soul practically looked like it was leaving his body.
"...Sometimes I genuinely hate you, System..."
[Sorry, Host...]
[That was the only vehicle I could find nearby. ]
"Shut up... Don’t talk to me..."
After finally catching his breath, Chu Fang ditched the tiny bicycle into some bushes before sneaking toward the house.
He tried opening the front door.
Locked.
"...Damn."
His eyes spotted an open window nearby.
"Perfect..."
Trying his best not to look suspicious in front of passing pedestrians, Chu Fang casually walked toward the side of the house.
The moment nobody was watching...
He climbed through the window.
THUD.
He accidentally fell onto the floor inside.
Thankfully, the sound of running shower water masked the noise completely.
Chu Fang quickly looked around.
Then his eyes locked onto the bathroom door.
Slowly creeping over, he pressed his ear against it.
Inside, Chu Luoshen was currently talking excitedly with her sisters over speakerphone while showering.
"Yes, I’m serious! Yes, it’s an actual date tonight with Shen Tian!"
Immediately, the sisters exploded into chaos again.
"That fast?!"
"How are you all progressing so quickly?!"
"You traitor!"
The arguing instantly resumed.
Outside the bathroom door, Chu Fang’s face twitched from annoyance.
Part of him desperately wanted to kick the door open and tell Chu Luoshen not to go.
Another part of him...
Unfortunately had dangerous thoughts after imagining what was currently behind that bathroom door.
Still, even Chu Fang himself felt that barging in now would completely destroy any future relationship possibilities.
So he forcefully held himself back.
Knock knock.
A familiar voice echoed from the front door.
"It’s me, Shen Tian. I’m coming in."
"Shen Tian?!"
Chu Fang nearly jumped out of his skin.
Inside the bathroom, Chu Luoshen hurriedly replied,
"Alright! Just wait in the living room for me!"
She quickly hung up on her sisters despite them still arguing loudly.
Chu Fang’s adrenaline instantly kicked in.
Without hesitation, he turned around and sprinted back toward the open window.
The exact moment Shen Tian opened the front door.
Chu Fang launched himself out the window.
He landed face-first into another bush.
He immediately placed a trembling hand over his chest.
"Holy shit... That was way too close..."
Shen Tian walked into the living room and sat down casually on the couch.
Not even a full minute later...
Chu Luoshen suddenly appeared from the hallway.
She was only wrapped in a towel.
And without her usual glasses on, she looked completely different.
Softer.
More vulnerable.
Her damp hair rested against her shoulders while droplets of water slowly traced down her skin.
Even Shen Tian had to admit...
Chu Luoshen’s figure was dangerously good.
A slim waist, elegant curves, and just enough maturity to make someone lose focus instantly.
Chu Luoshen herself was already blushing heavily.
"I-I’ll go get changed first," she said nervously.
"Then we can head to the restaurant..."
Shen Tian waved his hand.
"Take your time."
Chu Luoshen gave a tiny nod before walking closer toward him.
"And... I really do want to apologize for suddenly throwing this date on you like this..."
However, just as she got close...
Her wet foot suddenly slipped against the floor.
"Ah—!"
Before she could react, Chu Luoshen lost her balance completely and fell directly onto Shen Tian.
At the same time...
Her towel loosened.
Chu Luoshen’s entire brain instantly shut down.
"I—"
"This—"
"Well—"
Her face became so red it looked like steam might start coming out of her ears.
She couldn’t even form a proper sentence anymore.
Shen Tian simply raised an eyebrow.
Then, after several seconds of complete mental collapse, Chu Luoshen suddenly snapped back to reality.
With a small scream, she immediately grabbed the towel and fled toward her room at maximum speed.
"I’m so sorry! That wasn’t on purpose!"
Her hurried footsteps echoed throughout the house while her face remained completely red from embarrassment.
Watching her run away, Shen Tian lightly whistled.
"So she still has a bush..."
This entire scene happened completely without Chu Fang knowing.
Outside the window, he had only just finished pulling leaves out of his hair and rebuilding his courage.
Slowly...
Carefully...
He peeked his head back into the living room.
’Did I miss anything?’ Chu Fang thought to himself.
