"Then can I pursue you?"
Even though she was well aware of her astonishing charm, the school nurse didn't expect the young man to make such a "naive and straightforward" declaration. Coupled with his silly "serious and earnest" expression, the intense contrast felt like feathers madly tickling her funny bone, causing her mouth to uncontrollably curl upwards.
Watching the beauty in front of him laugh so much that she shook, Zhu Haomiao was at a loss.
"Teacher, give me a chance, I want to be a good person!"
Thinking about doing unspeakable things with a pretty woman is just too bizarre!
Especially having thoughts about cats!
Humans shouldn't, at least...
So I still need to find a serious girlfriend to suppress desires with love.
"Pff~ hahaha~ Don't make me laugh~~~"
"Teacher, I'm serious."
"Haha, I can't take it~"
Watching the lady roll around on her chair laughing, Zhu Haomiao gradually began to question life.
Is it really that funny?
I'm obviously being serious, right?
However, on the other side, the school nurse barely held down the sudden burst of laughter, and when she looked up, she saw Zhu Haomiao deep in thought with question marks all over his face and a frown. His silly and stubborn demeanor almost made her laugh again.
As if possessed, the original rejection that came to her lips quietly changed.
"You want to pursue me? It's not impossible..."
Seeing her smile teasingly with charming crescent eyes, Zhu Haomiao's eyes suddenly brightened.
But before he could get excited, the school nurse pursed her lips, holding up three slender fingers.
"As long as you can do three things."
"The first thing is..."
The elegant and lazy beauty stood up from her chair, bent down to meet Zhu Haomiao's eyes, and gently patted his head.
"Grow up well. I don't like someone as thin and small as you."
Zhu Haomiao firmly nodded, his gaze serious as he continued to look at her.
"What about the other two things?"
The school nurse shook her lips and shook her head: "You should accomplish the first thing first."
"No problem! Teacher!"
The young man confidently pumped his fist and turned to leave, but upon reaching the door, he awkwardly turned around.
"Well...teacher, I still don't know your name..."
Seeing him being serious but funny, the school nurse felt like she was raising a dumb husky puppy, her lips curving up being harder to control than an AK gun.
"Nangong Su'e, Su as in plain, E as in Chang'e."
"Nangong Su'e...Su'e...I'll remember that, Teacher Su'e."
"Mm, remember to come for an IV tomorrow."
He nodded earnestly, politely turned around, and left, but just beyond the door, he suddenly felt something was off.
The teacher's attitude just now, wasn't like she was dealing with a suitor, more like she was...coaxing a child?
Realizing that she didn't see him as a man at all, Zhu Haomiao angrily wanted to go back to prove himself, but he suddenly paused.
Images of her bending down to meet his gaze flashed in his mind, making Zhu Haomiao bite his lip in frustration.
The height difference, plus his immature features, no wonder she saw him as a child.
Times will change, never underestimate a young man who is short!
Clenching his fist, Zhu Haomiao silently encouraged himself, glancing back at the tightly closed door, then left with "hatred".
Just wait until my Dao Heart is stable, when I secretly become a handsome man, won't I charm you to death then?
On the other side, watching the kid who always inexplicably hits her funny bone disappear from view, Nangong Su'e slowly retracted her gaze, shaking her head with a smile.
Sitting upright at the cafeteria table, Zhu Haomiao stared expressionlessly at a "simple" four dishes and a soup in front of him, treating it as some sort of treasure, carefully, slowly, and thoroughly chewing a small bite of food.
...twenty-nine, thirty!
Counting silently in his heart, Zhu Haomiao chewed for a full thirty times before swallowing the food, then picked another chopstick of food, repeating the process.
In contrast to his previous habit, where he could wolf down his meal in just a few minutes, this time it took him over an hour!
After finishing the last grain of rice, the young man put down his chopsticks, slumping tiredly against the chair like he had just finished a bloody battle.
Is this amount supposed to feed a cat?
Who is this even enough for?!
Not only did this meal leave him unsatisfied, but it also made him hungrier, with the growing irritability and anxiety making Zhu Haomiao feel like a wild beast with nowhere to unleash, wanting to flip the table and trash the cafeteria!
But reason told him that three taels of rice and four dishes with soup already counted as above average for a normal male college student.
Eating more...might touch on the threshold of [Gluttony]...
Hesitating for a moment, Zhu Haomiao touched his flat stomach, sensing the feedback from his gut, a string of text suddenly unfolded in his Divine Soul.
[Gluttony]: LV.2 (11/200)
Looking at that unique LV.2 level, Zhu Haomiao carefully sensed and nodded in realization.
He's already considered a possessor of supernatural power, with the LV.2 level of [Gluttony] granting him a stomach beyond a normal person's!
Thus, a regular adult male's meal only fills him to two-tenths full...and still doesn't reach the stage of [Gluttony].
Putting down his worries, Zhu Haomiao went to get another serving, starting the next "battle".
As his hunger rose, the familiar eerie hunger surged exponentially, his stomach seemingly roaring like a monster, impatient to chew leisurely, itching to reach out a claw from his throat to pull the food in!
But Zhu Haomiao forcefully resisted the desire, stared into the void, and grinned fiercely with a twisted smile.
"I'm not swallowing, I play this way!"
Chewing as if on the enemy's flesh, the young man gnashed his teeth for a full two minutes, only swallowing when the tidal wave of hunger slightly receded.
The next second, like a beast that tasted blood, a stronger and more violent hunger thirst swept in like a tsunami, urging Zhu Haomiao to devour more blood food!
As if in battle with an invisible demon, the young man's chewing became increasingly laborious, breathing more heavily, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Matching the rising fullness, the hunger's desire grew stronger, until reaching seven-tenths full, Zhu Haomiao used all his strength to put down his chopsticks, not daring to eat another grain of rice.
Leaning back against the cafeteria chair, it took him over ten minutes to catch his breath, a deep sigh of relief escaping him afterward.
