Chapter 92: The Opportunity for Strategy
Upon hearing the direct remarks from White Fish and the others, Night Lan quickly began to cough loudly, intending to put a stop to this embarrassing topic.
After all, discussing how to woo her right in front of her was just way too much!
And what’s up with Luo Xi, anyway?
If she has a three-no personality, she shouldn’t be egging on White Fish and the others!
Saying she wants to help them gain experience to get closer to her? That’s just ridiculous!
No matter how you look at it, Night Lan wasn’t about to fall so quickly.
Was Luo Xi trying to make her an uncontrollable little pervert ahead of time?
She certainly didn’t want to be spending all day casting tidal magic anytime soon!
“Ahem! Let’s stop right there! This topic is finished!”
Night Lan walked over and patted each of their heads one by one.
“This kind of thing is a bit early for you all, don’t you think? Wait until you grow up a little bit more, okay?”
White Fish pondered.
“But… what’s up with you, Night Lan? You’re only recorded as fourteen, yet you’ve already taken this step! Not only that, you won’t let us join in! Isn’t that a bit unreasonable? Do you want to be the kind of person who says, ‘Only officials can set fires, but the common folk can’t even light a lamp’? If you’re leading by example, shouldn’t we be learning from you?”
Night Lan suddenly choked.
Well, that certainly backfired!
While she often calls herself a legal loli, and her soul is legally one too, that’s not how she was recorded in the data!
So, in the eyes of many, she is just a fourteen-year-old little loli.
That’s quite frustrating!
Now Night Lan felt a bit down.
Why were White Fish’s words suddenly so aggressive?
They used to be such gentle, obedient kids!
The quintessential soft and cute loli!
But now they were all fired up, exuding an unwavering spirit!
Something was definitely off!
Zero Meow chimed in beside her, adding fuel to the fire.
And this also related to her “interests”!
“That’s right! Night Lan is so mean! She’s doing it herself but won’t let us join in! Happiness should be shared, after all! That’s how it should be!”
Night Lan pondered.
It’s not surprising for girls of this age to yearn for love.
Back in her school days, she saw quite a few couples around.
Middle school and high school had plenty of them.
Of course, very few of those couples ended up lasting; they were mostly just proof of youth.
To be honest, Night Lan didn’t mind what people call “puppy love.”
For some old-fashioned parents, it’s a hindrance to their child’s growth, and they’ll do anything to stop it.
That was always the case.
These days, it’s also frowned upon for minors to fall in love early.
Mainly, it’s concerned about the chaotic outcomes from immature views on romance.
That sort of thing is the real headache.
However, after spending so much time with White Fish and the others, Night Lan hadn’t noticed any twisted views on love; they were all sweet and innocent kids.
Except for Zero Meow, who’s a bit too precocious—probably exposed to more adult material than even Night Lan, and she loves to draw lewd things!
Yet, despite that, neither Zero Meow nor White Fish had ever been in a relationship. They were still stuck in the imaginative phase.
So why shouldn’t Night Lan help them fulfill their desires?
Even though she was also a pure loli who had never experienced love, she was still a super reliable adult who could provide a large amount of reassurance.
So Night Lan could satisfy White Fish and the others’ wishes to experience romance while cultivating their views on love, all while satisfying their curiosity!
She wouldn’t mind being their first crush.
As long as she didn’t teach them any inappropriate stuff too soon!
With that thought, Night Lan deliberately cleared her throat.
“Ahem! In that case, I’ll give you all a chance to strategize how to win me over. If you manage to touch my heart, I might agree to take our relationship a step further! Seize the opportunity!”
That was a big ol’ lie.
In truth, Night Lan had been touched by White Fish and the others many times over already.
Too many times to count!
She just wanted to see what kind of tricks they would come up with.
Night Lan was quite looking forward to it.
Upon hearing Night Lan’s reply, White Fish and the others were ecstatic.
“It’s settled then! You absolutely can’t back out! Otherwise, I’ll strike out at you, meow!”
Night Lan was left speechless.
“Maybe focus on how to strategize to woo me instead of thinking about those random things.”
The notion of striking her was something only Luo Xi, the Source of White, could almost manage.
Zero Meow didn’t have the skills, you know?
How embarrassing.
It’d be better if Night Lan reversed that on her.
“So, Night Lan, when do we start? I’m really looking forward to this!”
White Fish’s eyes sparkled with eager anticipation, as if she could hardly wait.
Ever since Night Lan saved her, White Fish had given her whole heart over to Night Lan.
She just hadn’t had the chance to express her deeper feelings.
Now that she finally had an opportunity, there was no way she would let it slip by!
As for White Fish’s excited heart, Night Lan expressed that there was no need to rush.
“We’ll talk about it after some time! I have something very important to handle recently, so I’ll have to ask you all to wait a bit longer.”
Night Lan wasn’t worried.
There was still that unstable factor, the Source of Kuro, that needed to be sorted out before she could feel at ease.
Night Lan didn’t want to experience some terrible catastrophe while feeling down someday; it was too much of a challenge for her mental resilience.
After saying that, Night Lan caught the puzzled expressions of White Fish and the others.
They were naturally curious about what this “very important matter” was that Night Lan mentioned.
After a moment of contemplation, Night Lan decided it was time to share some secrets with these little lolis.
Among the four, only White Fish knew the most.
The others were still in the dark about a lot of things.
She could only tell them little by little.
As they got closer, their secrets started to spill out to one another.
If Night Lan kept hiding a heap of things, that would be unreasonable and insincere.
She felt responsible towards White Fish and the others.
Night Lan’s expression grew serious.
“Next, I’m going to tell you some important secrets, so I hope you won’t be too shocked.”
Upon hearing that, White Fish’s expression gradually softened.
So it seemed she wouldn’t have to hide those secrets in front of Zero Meow and the others anymore?
Of course, White Fish didn’t know about what Night Lan had been up to recently.
She was just as filled with anticipation.
Taking a deep breath, Night Lan prepared to start with the recent events.
“Actually… I traveled to the future and encountered various situations that triggered a chain reaction, leading to one very important matter that must be resolved.”
With a single line, Night Lan dropped a bombshell of information.
Completely unaware, Zero Meow and the others were left in stunned silence.
“Future?!”
