Chapter 160: Chapter 154: Fatigue

The area before the massage begins in the bathroom.

The grandmother’s visit disrupted everyone’s plans, even Hua Yuan was sweating profusely, thinking that taking Luo Di to the dinner by holding hands was already the highest treatment from the grandmother.

Unexpectedly, the grandmother also broke the rules of the sisterhood by visiting at night.

If the grandmother discovered that she was also here with the intention of stealing someone else’s partner, it could greatly anger the grandmother, and might even result in severe punishment.

This year was the most crucial one, likely involving arrangements about personal promotion.

Hua Yuan feared nothing but this very consideration.

At this moment,

The grandmother entering the door had her gaze fixed on the bathroom; it only needed her Perception to extend over to easily find the three people hidden inside.

Hua Yuan acknowledged that she could not act overtly in front of her grandmother; using abilities to block the bathroom would only invite more suspicion.

The anxiety in her pupils slowly turned into a helpless resignation.

At the critical moment.

Isabella positioned herself in front of the bathroom door, deliberately intensifying her presence and exposing herself, "Is it grandmother visiting? Please wait a moment, I’ll be right out!"

This intentional exposure led the grandmother to retract her Perception, assuming Isabella was bathing inside.

The white hat isolated the bathroom; any probe could not penetrate the hat’s veil, only revealing some faint shadowy outlines, and the sounds were also muted to the lowest.

Whew...

Both the nearly defeated Hua Yuan and Shea curled up in the bathtub breathed a sigh of relief.

Isabella sat down abruptly on the floor, her robe slipping off.

Visible sweat incessantly seeped from her pores, and her calves trembled uncontrollably, almost as if the word "nervous" was written on her face.

However, before she could recover,

Two arms suddenly embraced her tightly from behind, a tongue licked along her neck to her earlobe before finally stopping.

"Isabella, you’ve become a bit different than before~ Having the courage to lie in front of grandmother... Well, it’s not exactly lying, but rather a very clever diversion,"

No sooner had the words fallen.

The class president’s head was pulled by an invasive force, turning 90° to face Hua Yuan, and before the class president could react, moist lips were pressed onto hers.

This continued for a full minute before they slowly parted.

The seemingly intimate act was actually Hua Yuan verifying the identity, as Isabella’s actions were unexpectedly out of ordinary to her.

When they parted, strands of crystal-clear liquid stretched between them,

Hua Yuan’s fingers gently scraped over the tongue’s surface, "Hmm~ The taste is still the same, it seems you’ve indeed grown a lot this year, no wonder you found such a fine partner, I’m quite envious indeed.

Since you’ve helped your sister, I won’t pursue Mr. Di anymore."

"Okay... okay," the class president bit her lip lightly.

"By the way, what exactly is special about your partner? To even make grandmother act this way, knowing grandmother used to be very averse to males."

Just as the class president was about to explain the situation involving pain.

Ah~

The voice heard before the banquet started once again resonated, and being transmitted through the hat’s curtain from inside the bathroom, it showed how strong the voice’s penetration was.

Due to being closer,

It was also heard more clearly.

Even Shea, who feigned death curled up in the bathtub with her consciousness voided, sprung up, pressing her pure white eyeballs against the bathtub wall, trying to see the situation outside.

Hua Yuan and Wu Wen quickly pressed their eyes against the bathroom door as well, trying to exercise their greatest penetrative ability.

But because of the hat, they could only see black and white colors and blurred outlines at most.

The outline they saw was an upside-down ’T’ structure, making them each imagine the possible scenarios in their brains.

"That grandmother actually..."

Hua Yuan was the most agitated, her imagined scene clearer and more accurate than anyone else, even animated images.

As time elapsed, the outline remained unchanged, during which the voice from the grandmother continued unabated with increasing frequency over time.

One hour,

Two hours,

Three hours,

Hua Yuan was dumbfounded; she had experienced countless people and none could last that long; even if injected or medicated no one could withstand, let alone when facing a high-status existence like the grandmother.

She was almost unable to hold herself due to excessive imagination, even her words trembled:

"Isabella, what kind of monster is this man? So long without dying..."

The class president just shook her head continuously, her mind also blank.

Even Shea, uninterested in male-female relationships, was swallowing saliva on the side, thinking who knows what.

Finally,

Four hours passed.

The outline changed,

from an inverted T-shape into two vertical bars,

The white cap blocking the bathroom was retracted back into the grandmother’s hands, the three watchers quickly backed away and concealed their breaths, not until they heard the sounds of the door opening and closing, completely confirming the grandmother’s departure did they finally rush out of the bathroom.

Strangely,

there was no one in the main bedroom, and Luo Di was gone too.

The only thing left was the over two meters long human-shaped sweat imprint on the bed, almost completely soaking through the mattress.

Hua Yuan quickly brought her nose closer, sniffing hard, but all she could smell was the grandmother’s scent. There was no strong male odor she had imagined, not at all.

This bizarre situation made Hua Yuan imagine that perhaps her grandmother possessed a special absorbent ability, the horrific image made her shiver violently.

Just when the three were getting their appearances in order, adjusting their breathing, ready to go out and search for traces of Luo Di.

Click! The door was opened again.

Luo Di actually came back alone, still looking the same as a few hours ago, wearing a mask and a coat, standing at the doorway looking at the three sisters as if nothing had happened.

"Where’s grandmother!?"

"I sent her back to her room to rest."

"What exactly..."

Hua Yuan glanced downwards at Luo Di’s body as she was inquiring.

Luo Di seemed to have already thought of an explanation, responding very calmly: "If I must say what I did, it should be considered a massage? The grandmother seems to really enjoy this sort of body massage related to pain, and I just happen to be very proficient in this area."

"Pain? Massage?"

Hua Yuan had difficulty connecting these two words; her acceptance of pain was moderate, neither disliking it nor particularly enjoying it.

But on further thought, she indeed did not know her grandmother’s true interests or peculiar habits.

Taking into account the mysterious experiences of tonight and recalling the blurred outlines she saw earlier, the duration, and the grandmother’s cries, she could almost confirm Luo Di was telling the truth; from the beginning, it was just her who had misunderstood.

A deep breath exhaled out of her body, making her reevaluate the man in front of her.

"So that’s how it is... Can I also experience it when you have time? Not tonight though, I suddenly feel so tired, I need to go back to sleep."

Hua Yuan never felt this exhausted, the continuous four hours of mental tension and lots of guessing made her desperately need sleep.

Although very curious about what kind of massage technique Luo Di had, she still left the current bedroom first, feigning composure, but her action of bracing herself against the wall didn’t escape notice.

Neither the class president nor Shea had ever seen Hua Yuan in such a disheveled state.

"Isabella, I’m leaving too... Tonight was very interesting, goodnight."

Shea was still in good condition, only her pure white zombie eyes had some mixed colors, obviously contemplating something.

Following everyone’s departure, the class president also shut the bedroom door in a quick stride, finally back to their private time, and she had many questions to ask.

But as she turned around,

the seemingly normal Luo Di began to waver and stagger, his previously sharp eyes now completely vacant.

His body fell straight forward, when suddenly,

Crash!

The class president sprinted with incredible speed and caught Luo Di before he hit the ground, gently placing him on the nearby large bed.

Due to extreme exhaustion, Luo Di’s brain had forced a shutdown. He had just been toughing it out in front of his sisters to maintain his status within the sisterhood, securing more initiative.

Imitating Mr. Hook and providing a painful process was no easy task, especially considering the target was a ’corner existence’ like the grandmother, Luo Di had not relaxed for a single moment during those four hours, the level of fatigue comparable to fighting ten consecutive battling matches.

His body had sweated profusely multiple times, thanks to the decent sweat-absorbing capability of his clothes.

The class president fetched hot water and a towel from the bathroom,

as gently as possible, she removed Luo Di’s clothing, took off his mask.

Starting at his legs and feet using the towel, she thoroughly wiped down his entire body, removing all the sticky sweat, and also a few fluids that had transferred onto the grandmother’s body.

After cleaning him thoroughly, she wrapped his body completely with bedding, positioning him in the best sleeping posture.

She leaned over and kissed Luo Di on the forehead.

Whispered delicate words conducive to sleep entered his ears:

"Hard work."

Wu Wen didn’t lie down on the bed, seeming not at all sleepy, as if she was occupied with other matters.

She went back to the bathroom area alone, filling the bathtub with the coldest water temperature.

A box of delicate ladies’ cigarettes placed beside the bathtub,

she removed her bathrobe,

peeled off her skin,

submerged her semi-transparent red body into it,

lit a cigarette and stared at the ceiling,

numerous thoughts collided in her brain, seemingly planning something.
