Chapter 357: Hmm?... What Should I Do Now?

Hearing Kiana☆'s soft whisper, Fu Lin was startled. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly asked,

"If you saw Fu Lin again… what would you do?"

"What would I do…" Kiana☆ lightly tapped her lips with a finger, her face gradually turning red, her starry pupils changing into heart shapes, trembling slightly in her eyes.

Looking at her like this, Fu Lin swallowed nervously, his heart pounding wildly.

But in the next second, the hearts in her eyes vanished. Kiana☆ seemed to calm down, holding the half-eaten cookie in her hand, silently pondering the question. For a moment, she didn't answer, as if lost in memories.

---------------------------

Time passed second by second, and a tranquil atmosphere filled the surroundings. Only the faint sounds of two people breathing intertwined, while far away, Sirin watched Bella nibble on a cookie.

Finally, Kiana☆'s gaze gradually became clearer. She looked at Fu Lin, her eyes gleaming with a resolute light.

"I think... I will tell him that he's going to be a father!"

Kiana☆'s voice was gentle but full of strength. She then looked up at the sky, her eyes firm and filled with hope, as if she already saw a beautiful vision of the future,

A family of three living happily together, witnessing every sunrise and sunset.

"That way he won't leave, and I won't have to imprison him in the imaginary space anymore."

Kiana☆ gently caressed her abdomen, feeling the warmth and joy brought by the new life.

She knew this child would become the bond between them, bringing the man who had been drifting outside back to her side.

After saying these words, a faint smile bloomed on Kiana☆'s face.

That smile was like a flower blossoming under the warm spring sun, radiating infinite gentleness and maternal brilliance; it was also like the descent of the goddess of victory, filled with an air of unshakable confidence.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Beside her, Fu Lin coughed lightly twice. He stood quietly there, gazing at Kiana☆, who had a smile on her lips and a gleam in her eyes, clearly immersed in her blissful fantasy.

At this moment, a complex and indescribable emotion surged in Fu Lin's heart.

There was both helplessness and speechlessness at Kiana☆'s naive thoughts, as well as a deep sigh at the current situation that left him feeling powerless...

All kinds of thoughts intertwined, making Fu Lin's mood even heavier.

Yet at this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness in the face of such a persistent and resolute Kiana.

Now it was Fu Lin's turn to fall into deep thought.

Thinking about the child in Kiana☆'s belly, a child that was his, Fu Lin realized the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

At that thought, Fu Lin took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging waves in his heart.

Then, in this peaceful and beautiful atmosphere, he reached out and picked up the other cookie next to Kiana☆.

Imitating her, he also began to chew slowly.

Each bite allowed him to savor that unique sweetness and satisfaction, as if time had frozen at that moment.

The atmosphere at this moment was serene and harmonious, with only faint chewing sounds and occasional laughter echoing in the air. The sunlight bathed them, warm and comfortable.

In this wonderful moment, everything felt so peaceful and tranquil—until Fu Lin's sudden words instantly shattered the harmonious atmosphere.

"Sakura's cookies really are better than little Sirin's."

Fu Lin, while wiping away the cookie crumbs at the corner of his mouth with lingering satisfaction, gave his comment.

And just then, Sirin's resentful voice echoed at just the right moment, "Brother..."

There was a trace of grievance and dissatisfaction in her eyes, clearly hurt by Fu Lin's words.

The once relaxed atmosphere immediately became a bit awkward, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

"Uh..."

...

In the infirmary of St. Freya Academy, everyone lay on the hospital beds, faces as pale as paper and devoid of color. Their eyes had lost their former luster, looking dispirited and gloomy, as if they had just returned from the gates of hell.

Fu Hua held Fu Shi and quietly sat beside a hospital bed, her gaze gentle and concerned as she watched the now-awakened group.

She asked softly, "How are you feeling now? Any better?"

There was a trace of worry and unease in Fu Hua's voice.

At this moment, Mei slowly opened her eyes, looked at Fu Hua beside her, and tried to squeeze out a weak smile as she said, "Sorry to worry you, class rep... Thankfully, Fu Lin was there. Just a bit dizzy now..."

Before she could finish, she furrowed her brows slightly, seemingly recalling a painful memory, and couldn't help but close her eyes again.

Himeko, too, stared up at the ceiling, her face devoid of color, murmuring, "Just recovered and now collapsed again..."

Meanwhile, Kiana struggled to prop up her extremely weak body with both arms, as if every movement required all her strength.

Her hand trembled slightly as she slowly raised it and clenched it tightly into a fist full of strength.

At this moment, Kiana's face flushed red from emotion, her eyes blazing with fury. Gritting her teeth, she spoke in a slightly hoarse but unusually determined voice,

"Cla... class rep, did you find out... which bastard poisoned us? If I don't beat the crap out of him today, he can count himself lucky!"

Beside her, Theresa was equally indignant and echoed Kiana's voice, "Count me in! As the headmaster, I won't let it slide either!"

Just then, Fu Lin, who had been secretly eavesdropping outside the door, raised an eyebrow and pondered silently,

"Hmm? Collective amnesia this time? Good thing I destroyed all the leftovers... But what now?"

Thinking of this, Fu Lin became increasingly anxious, pacing nervously at the doorway.

"If I let them keep thinking like this, I'll be exposed sooner or later! No, I must find a way to stop them from thinking..."

"Hello, is the headmaster and Sister Bronya inside?"
