Chapter 9 - 1.5

Wǔshì and Takeru went to A City to go towards the A City University. It is the university between K City and D City, and the administration of the three universities set the meeting place in A City University. Arriving 20 minutes before the designated time, Ling Wǔshì parked his car on the most eye-catching spot in the parking lot and got out of the car. He sighed for a while and ruffled his hair in slight annoyance, on the way here, Lalaine kept pestering and calling him nonstop!

He Míng was beyond his rage and almost threw his phone outside his car if it wasn't for the fact that it was his one and only current phone to chat with the rest of the student council for today. He cannot lose his cool and appear like a fool in front of the other two student council.

Takeru went out of the car with his backpack and gaze at Ling Wǔshì's back as he tries to calm down. From his observations, Ling Wǔshì is the type of person whose silent about his feelings, you cannot see what's he thinking unless he lets you show it, or worse is that deceive others of his own feelings. This type of person, if you provoke this kind of person, the consequences would be beyond his imagination.

Before they got inside the university, a car parked beside Ling Wǔshì's car with a loud screeching noise. He Míng frowned even deeper as his aura turns even more unfriendly. Why the loud noise so early in the morning? This is a university, not a race track!

The owner of the car immediately come out of the car and soon, a bunch of cars also came in the people inside come out and flocked around the person. They all followed her as she called over Ling Wǔshì who was close to the entrance door, however, he didn't even turn at all!

"Hey! Isn't that Ling Wǔshì? Lalaine! Your boyfriend is right there!"- one of the ladies with Lalaine Brookes said and pointed in his direction. Lalaine took off her sunglasses and with her Louis Vuitton handbag and strutted towards Ling Wǔshì's way. Don't know why, but Ling Wǔshì directly walked inside without looking at his back, Takeru who was with him looked at his way with a weirded look, staying there rooted at his place. Takeru looked behind him and saw a lady walking towards him.

"Hey you, are you together with Ling Wǔshì?"- The lady asked him with an obvious rude tone.

"Wait, don't answer that question, it's so obvious that you're his butler in disguise."- Lalaine told Takeru and got his attention. Takeru can't help but frown and stare down at the lady, what's with that "obvious tone" she's using as if she has spoken the truth that he is just a butler? He already hated just being in a close radius with her. Lalaine opened her handbag while talking to him without looking at his face.

"Tell Ling Wǔshì that we'll have dinner tonight. Also tell him to check his Line because I'll call him. Do you get it?"- Lalaine asked with her phone at hand and raised her eyebrow towards Takeru. He was uncomfortable when she looked at him from up and down as if assessing his appearance.

"Seriously, I just want to ask MY boyfriend why does he keep being close to teen boys like you, I mean, come on, with my face and this body, he wouldn't even think of cheating."- Lalaine rolled her eyes before flipping her hair. Takeru almost looked at her in disdain before stepping back and frowned at her before looking behind the lady and saw the flock of girls going towards them.

"I'm sorry but I don't know you. I need to go because we have an important meeting to attend,"- Takeru could smell trouble just by looking at her and her minions so he decided to retreat and go inside the building. The girls swarmed around Lalaine and badmouthed Takeru.

"What a rude person! How dare he walk away from Lalaine? Lalaine, did you know who is that guy?"- They asked her, Lalaine only made a small frown before tilting her head to the side, that guy does look familiar, but she cannot point it out where he saw him.

"Anyway, I'll go ahead for the meeting, see you all later!"- Lalaine said told them and left at a normal pace before entering the building. She met the other D City University's Student Council and followed them towards the meeting room.

As she walks inside the meeting room, Lalaine immediately saw her boyfriend on his designated seat while flipping through the documents at his hands. A charming smile blossomed from her lips before she strutted towards Ling Wǔshì and hugged him from the back. Her snow-white skin blended well with Ling Wǔshì's skin tone as she bent down and placed a chaste kiss his temple. A somewhat shy and flirty tone could be heard from her voice.

"Wǔshì Ge, Good morning~"- She said and coquettishly snuggled close to him and enjoyed the smell of his manly perfume and soft blonde hair. In front of everyone who were looking at them, they saw that Lalaine was openly expressing her love for her boyfriend and was very clingy while Ling Wǔshì was just receiving it, however, they didn't know that He Míng was having an internal conflict inside while summoning the system.

'System! Help me get out of this situation!'- He Míng was like a fierce tiger, roaring his orders at the frightened system. The system was both bewildered what exactly happened to his Host to show such an aggressive side but he got snapped back in reality when another roar of orders were given out by He Míng. The Revenge system saw that he was starting to show instability and close to getting wild so the system has no choice but to shut the feeling receptors of the Host from its body. Once it was shut down, He Míng felt the stiffness of his body first, before going numb all over his body. He cannot feel the grip he have on his hands, or the ground on his feet, he also cannot feel if he was breathing or not. It was a new experience for He Míng, and it was both amusing and fun in his opinion.

'So this is what it feels like... being left in a vegetitave state. How amusing.'-He Míng didn't thought about the downside of being in the vegetitave state nor the feeling of helplessly of not being able to do things on his own. For someone like He Míng, that is very amusing.

[Host, feeling receptors will be back online in 15 seconds, please bear with me.]- The system told him as it fixes the system in haste. He Míng just closed his eyes and turn his head to the side and met Lalaine's long, platinum blonde, and curly hair. Everyone thought he was reciprocating her affection with him, but in truth is that he was not feeling anything at all, the shut down even cut his rage and made him forget why he was angry at the first place.

[It is now back Host, I'll take charge of your feeling receptors and reduce it to 45%, according from the data from your original life, you were easily stimulated by different things, that is why I will guard it until you leave this mission world.] The Revenge system told him and he just hummed. As soon as he opened his eyes, Ling Wǔshì's eyes became distant as he patted Lalaine's head and straightened up on his seat.

"Go back to your seat, we'll handle personal matters later."- Ling Wǔshì patted Lalaine's hand on his shoulder before focusing back on his papers. Lalaine just pouted but didn't want to be viewed as a brat and nuisance for this meeting so she followed his orders.

Just like that, the rest of the three universities' student council started the meeting and tackled the schedule and to proceed with and the activities they will incorporate with their respective universities. After that was done, they tackled the budget given to them and the other things that they need to pay attention to.

Ling Wǔshì was focused on the meeting and yet Lalaine was ogling and staring at him from the opposite side of the round table. Everyone tried to carry on with the meeting and yet some still get distracted at Lalaine's action. Ling Wǔshì met her stare and gave her an uninterested look, she blushed and shyly looked away while cupping her warm cheeks. Ling Wǔshì shook his head before giving his attention back to the discussion.

Takeru can see what the two were doing and can't help but grimace. Why is this guy even with that bratty pink princess? Takeru cannot seem to digest that fact. He looked at him once more and suddenly met his gaze.

"Focus on the meeting,"- Ling Wǔshì spoke in a soft voice before he looked in front. Takeru blinked before he looked down with red ears. He doesn't know if its about shame or something else, but he's sensitive around Ling Wǔshì after what happened last night in his penthouse. His reaction didn't go unnoticed by few people inside the room.
