Chapter 184 - 184 1 Blame Game Conference_2

184: Chapter 1 Blame Game Conference_2 184: Chapter 1 Blame Game Conference_2 He pushed up his glasses and looked seriously at the young man in the suit at the deputy position.

“How exactly have things developed between you two?

Did you make it official?

Did you?!”

Four pairs of eyes all turned to Shiyu Lianyi.

The handsome young man seemed much less composed at this moment, and said somewhat embarrassedly, “We…

we’ve confirmed our relationship.”

Silence fell in the activity room so still that even the sound of a needle dropping to the floor would have seemed like a thunderous boom.

Shiyu Lianyi awkwardly added, “…it was me who confessed first.”

Kardesia echoed exuberantly, “Although it was done through telepathy, indeed, it was Lianyi who took the initiative!”

The activity room instantly shifted from extreme silence to extreme animation.

Gongsun Ce, like an athlete victorious in the final match, raised his fists in the air and roared, “Yes!!!!!” The young lady clapped her hands repeatedly, chanting, “That’s great, that’s so great.” Qiluo shouted, “Congratulations!”

She excitedly put together a virtual celebration, and the whole activity room was filled with colorful flags, balloons, and fluttering confetti.

There were even a few mini fireworks on the long table (which Gongsun Ce could not see at all).

Shiyu Lianyi looked even more embarrassed.

From outside came an irresistibly impatient knocking, and Gongsun Ce opened the door using telekinesis.

Several students with unfriendly expressions stood at the door, all familiar faces usually seen during class.

“Hello, Mr.

Gongsun.

We feel compelled to kindly remind you to control your volume during activities…”

Gongsun Ce said cheerfully, “Mr.

Shiyu and Kardesia are now together.”

The expressions on the students at the door resembled those of gamers who had sat through a two-hour-long, tedious information overload during a game release conference, only to be rewarded at the end with the exhilarating news of a blockbuster new release coming out next month.

Screams and applause followed one after another.

“Oh my gosh, how long has it been, congratulations to you both!” “Great news, I must rush to post this on the forum, everyone will congratulate you.” “Hold on, don’t close the betting pool yet, let me place my bet first, fast, on this month at 30 to 1 odds!” “Guys, the Beast Tamer has succeeded, he finally did it!!”

The university students dispersed at once, and the corridor was filled with exclamations of “Really?!” and “My goodness, finally!”

Gongsun Ce closed the door with his power, turned around, and immediately heard the top-hatted lady’s roar, “What do you mean ‘Beast Tamer’?

Tell him to come back here!!”

Mr.

Shiyu diligently soothed her, “Don’t mind it, Kardesia.

You know, nobody means any harm.”

“I know but…

wait, what betting pool?!”

The young lady opened the forum on her phone and found a post that specifically blocked certain users.

“Everyone is guessing when Kardesia and Mr.

Shiyu will finally get together, so a long-term betting pool has emerged on the forum.”

Qiluo provided a data analysis, “A minority of optimists placed their bets on a 1-2 year range, but the majority chose over 3 years.

Almost no one believed it would happen this year.”

Kardesia held her head and cried out, “No way!

Could everyone have noticed?!”

Shiyu Lianyi focused intently on the teapot to avoid the embarrassing conversation.

“Superpowers are one thing, sight is another; university students aren’t blind—it would’ve been more surprising if they hadn’t noticed,” Gongsun Ce said without sparing feelings, “It wasn’t easy, you see, everyone was waiting for this day.

When’s the engagement?

When are you giving us wedding candies?

There’s no time like the present; why not just get married today, and put us at ease?”

“Stay away from me, not even my parents are this interested in my life.” The top-hatted lady clutched the arm of the suited man, “And don’t try to change the subject.

What was with that outrageous dating plan, tell me!”

Mr.

Shiyu was almost boring a hole through the teapot with his gaze.

The grey-haired youth decisively intervened to rescue his friend from the urgent situation.

Suddenly, on the long table, five white pots of different sizes appeared out of nowhere.

Gongsun Ce pointed and declared, “The dating plan was designed by all four of us, and now that it’s been brought up, let’s divide the blame.”

He voluntarily grabbed the largest pot, “As the main battle planner and primary executor, the dismal outcome of the date is inseparable from my command failure.

Failing to plug Shiyu Lianyi’s mouth at the last moment and allowing someone’s emotions to spiral out of control is, without a doubt, my fault.

I’ll take the biggest blame!”

The young lady across the table pressed down on the pot, “It’s not Ah Ce’s fault.

The weird movie we watched was my choice, and it was also me who escalated the situation to a fight due to accumulated misunderstandings.

Not to boast, but the blame should rightfully fall on me.”

What kind of talk is “Not to boast” at a time like this?

As if you’re a mischievous kid bragging to the elders about your exploits after causing a commotion.

The two were at a stalemate when a third hand landed on the pot.

Qiluo excitedly spoke, “Don’t be like that!

It was my overconfidence using my power that led to those misunderstandings, and I share part of the blame for the command errors in the middle.

If anyone should be blamed, it’s me—”

“No, no, it’s me, Mr.

Gongsun…”

“Let me take responsibility here…”

Just as the three were about to argue over who should take the largest share of blame, Mr.

Shiyu quietly put down the teapot and stood up to bow.

“It’s all my fault.”

“Not having the courage to express my feelings and asking friends for help; being afraid of her estrangement and taking poor actions…

It all started with my selfishness and cowardice.”

He stood up straight and said seriously, “None of you did anything wrong, and I’m very grateful to you all!”

After a brief silence in the room, Gongsun Ce looked at his friend and said gently:

“Is that true?

Awesome!

I actually think it was all your fault, too.

Let me be honest—if you gave me a whole month to prepare a prank, I couldn’t pull it off as spectacularly as you did in the end.

The way you hit the self-destruct button on your own was really cool.

How on earth did you come up with such a stinky idea?”

The young man in the suit covered his face wordlessly, while Kardesia slapped the table and burst into laughter.

“Because what Shiyu Lianyi said at the end was really too much!”

“Cracking a prank joke at that time would have made me mad, too.”

The two female strategists pursued relentlessly, and Shiyu Lianyi fled in panic: “Please, no more…”

The woman with the top hat finally had her fill of laughter.

While everybody was chasing after Mr.

Shiyu, she suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed the biggest pot.

“Did you hear that, Lianyi?

You really should apologize!”

Somehow, Kardesia’s face turned slightly red.

“But at the root of it, the failure of the date was because I lost control of my emotions.

I mean, that…” she removed her top hat, looking evasive as she said, “It was my fault for getting too emotional and causing a scene.

I also want to thank everyone for their help with us two fools.

Please forgive me, that is all!”

Gongsun Ce exaggeratedly sighed, “A woman stiffer than white matter is actually apologizing.”

“What did you say?!”

“I said you’re stubborn.

So since everybody thinks their own pot is biggest—”

The young man with gray hair made all five pots the same size: “Let’s be fair and share the blame equally!”

Shiyu Lianyi carried a pot with a gloomy face, and the other four did the same.

Half a minute later, the activity room was filled with five human-like figures with white shells, looking as if they were sea turtles that had become enlightened in the sea, seriously discussing the matters of invading the human world.

“…”

Miss Qiluo spoke on behalf of everyone: “It’s like a comedy show…”

“It sure is.” “Whose dumb idea was this?

It’s so silly!” “Wasn’t it you, Gongsun Ce!!”

The members started bickering again, and Qiluo took the chance to send a message to Mr.

Shiyu.

To Shiyu Lianyi:

[Shiyu Lianyi, I also saw another betting pool on the forum, it’s about Gongsun Ce and Qin Qianbai, with the bets only blocked on their accounts.

Should I tell them?]

Mr.

Shiyu’s reply came quickly.

To Qiluo:

[I think it’s better to leave such matters to those involved.]

She decided to follow her friend’s advice.

After all…

if they were to go on another date operation, who knows what trouble might arise.

Qiluo watched her noisy friends and thought this to herself.

At that moment, the now revived Kardesia knocked on the whiteboard and proposed: “That settles this topic!

Now onto the next agenda item, regarding the future activities of our club.

Let’s decide on everyone’s performance costumes, they have to have a cyber ghost style!”

“Oh, oh!” “Yeah, sure.”

The Empire duo raised their hands in agreement, and Mr.

Shiyu exclaimed in astonishment: “…Are we really going on with this?”

“What do you mean, going on.” The blonde girl smirked and said, “Our club activities haven’t even started yet!”

The contents of the discussions in the activity room swiftly changed from performance costumes to voice exercises to musical instruments, looking as though Miss Kardesia’s three minutes of enthusiasm had not yet died down.

Shiyu Lianyi quietly borrowed a heap of professional books from the library’s website.

He pulled back the curtains, letting more light into the small classroom.

The young man in the suit listened to the noise from his friends and once again felt deeply moved in his heart.

Truly, these were peaceful, everyday moments.

The giant dragon phenomenon and the events caused by the Impermanence Law Enforcers had left with February, and the Superpower Users were met with an unremarkable March by the city’s standards.

This is a story unrelated to any conspiracies or major events…

It’s about the trivial daily life of social club activities, love, and study.
