"Chang Yuan means he kissed Elysia. Kevin, how did you even manage to win Mei over? By being persistent?"
Finally, Su couldn't take it anymore and decided to explain things to Kevin.
Otherwise, he didn't dare imagine what his friend might do next. If Kevin got it into his head to ask Mei about it, he might end up coming back on a stretcher.
"Ah? Oh, oh, that's what he meant. Ahaha."
Scratching his head, Kevin laughed awkwardly.
"Kevin, my advice is to go ask Mobius if there's any medicine to boost brainpower. I think that would suit you well."
In reality, Kevin wasn't stupid. He just had moments of foolishness, especially in certain situations. Otherwise, how could someone like him get into the same university as Mei?
"Does that kind of medicine really exist?"
"Wait, Kevin, are you seriously considering it?"
Su looked at Kevin's earnest expression and felt utterly speechless.
If such a thing existed, wouldn't the researchers have already taken it, leading to a global technological boom?
"So it doesn't exist? I thought it might."
"Whatever, I'm done here. I need to go oversee the medical department."
As a genius doctor, Su held a high position in MOTH, just below the vice-captains. In special circumstances, he could even command some squads.
After putting on his white coat, Su left the room.
Now, only Kevin and Chang Yuan remained.
"Kevin, I'm out. I'm going to spend time with Elysia. Unlike you, who only gets to see Mei a few times a week. Hehe."
With a cheeky grin, Chang Yuan did a backflip off the bed, put on his shoes, and left.
Hearing Chang Yuan's words, Kevin was fuming.
He swore he'd find out who came up with the Stigma Project, which kept him from seeing Mei more than a few times a week. And even when he did see her, she was always exhausted.
As soon as Chang Yuan stepped outside, he sneezed.
"Achoo! Who's thinking about me? Whatever, never mind. Elysia, my Elysia, hehe."
Chuckling to himself, Chang Yuan happily walked down the road.
But every MOTH member who saw him in this state almost immediately dialed Mobius's number.
After all, he looked like he'd gone mad, and only Mobius could treat that.
"Ah, Elysia, why were your cheeks so red when you came back last night? Did something happen? Tell me about it."
Last night, when Elysia returned with her face flushed, she took a shower and immediately went to bed.
This left Himeko with no time to ask what had happened.
So early in the morning, Himeko woke up early to question Elysia.
Facing Himeko's inquiry, Elysia recalled the scene from last night.
Instantly, her cheeks turned slightly red again.
"I, um, I, with, with Chang Yuan, we, um, kissed..."
At this point, even the socially fearless Elysia couldn't help but feel too shy to continue.
"Oh? Kissed? Did you two really kiss?"
Seeing this, Himeko immediately put on a gossipy expression.
Well, well, well. Everyone had been speculating before, but now it seemed there was solid evidence.
As someone on the frontlines of the gossip chain, Himeko couldn't wait to spread the news.
After all, Chang Yuan and Elysia were known to be childhood sweethearts, destined to be together.
But until now, there had been no concrete evidence to confirm it. Now, there was.
"Ah, stop talking about it!"
Embarrassed, Elysia buried her face in her pillow, her feet kicking slightly, clearly showing her shyness.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything. But since you two kissed last night, you're officially in the honeymoon phase, right? Based on my experience, he's definitely going to come find you this morning."
Pushing up her nonexistent glasses, Himeko smirked.
"Huh? But Himeko, haven't you never been in a relationship before? Where are you getting this experience from?"
Crack!
Hearing Elysia's blunt statement, Himeko felt as if she'd been stabbed in the heart.
Well, well, well. I treat you like a sister, giving you advice, and this is how you repay me? By stabbing me in the heart?
"Uh, Himeko, don't look at me like that. I'm scared."
Sitting on the bed, Elysia hugged her pillow, peeking out with half her face, looking frightened.
After all, Himeko's face had turned as dark as coal.
"Sigh, forget it. I won't bother with you. Today is the first day of your honeymoon phase. The guy might be too dumb to dress up, but you..."
Himeko gave Elysia a once-over.
Even in her pajamas, Elysia's natural beauty, innocence, and cuteness were undeniable.
"Though you look good now, a bit of dressing up might make you even more stunning. Today might be your first official date, so why not dress up a bit?"
Patting Elysia's shoulder, Himeko gave a thumbs-up and then left.
She was going to deal with her socially awkward squad member. The frustration she got from Elysia, she'd take out on that poor soul.
Hua: Are you thinking about me?
"Dressing up? Hmm, since joining MOTH, I've mostly worn the standard combat uniform when going out with Chang Yuan. The few times I wore something else were when I was being willful."
Pressing a finger to her lips, Elysia frowned slightly, thinking back.
She realized that she rarely wore her own clothes when going out with Chang Yuan.
Immediately, she got up and opened her wardrobe.
The left side of the wardrobe was filled with MOTH's standard female uniforms. They weren't ugly, and some were even quite stylish.
But they weren't exactly suitable for a date.
The right side of the wardrobe held her own favorite clothes, but since she started facing the Honkai head-on, she rarely had the chance to wear them.
After all, after a battle, even if she wasn't injured, the clothes would often be torn or dirtied beyond repair.
So most of these clothes were only taken out to be washed, dried, and then put back, rarely worn.
"Let me think, hmm... got it!"
Among her many clothes, Elysia immediately spotted a white dress, paired with a white shawl.
Then she dug out a pink-and-white hairband from the accessory drawer.
"Hehe, my pure white moonlight look. Chang Yuan, don't get too dazzled when you see me~?"
