Chapter 780 A Chill in the Chest

Su Sheng had quite a feast for breakfast, though it was still relatively light. After staving off the hunger, he suddenly asked, "What about Zijun? She should be coming down now, right?"

"No, haven't seen her yet. Her timing is pretty stable; she usually heads out at nine."

Zheng Mei chose to lie, though she felt a little guilty about deceiving their Instructor. But considering her sisterly bond with Iceberg, as well as the trivial nature of the matter, she thought she needn't fret over it too much.

Su Sheng didn't want to make a fuss. Well, his main reason was that he felt claiming to be a patient would give him an advantage and make it easier to get Iceberg to compromise. Once it became a habit, his campaign for an official announcement could succeed in one fell swoop. Thus, he needed tactics to assist him.
