Chapter 366: Mistook the class president for a love rival~~

At that moment on Mount Taixuan, Kiana☆ sneezed twice in a row, then rubbed her nose and muttered,

"Could it be Fu Lin is thinking of me?"

Sirin gave her a speechless look and teased, "My brother once said, first comes thinking, then cursing, and then a cold. I think someone's cursing you."

Fu Lin sat to the side gnawing bitterly on a cookie Sirin had made, casting a sorrowful glance, while behind him, Bella looked on with envy.

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

Fu Shi's eyes slowly widened as she stared intently at the motionless Fu Lin, feeling as if a massive mountain was weighing down on her head—unbearably heavy.

She immediately transmitted a message with a harsh tone and questioned, "Fu Lin, what on earth are you doing?!"

"Why haven't you pushed her away yet!!"

"Hm? Oh, oh!"

Fu Lin finally snapped out of it, pushed Mei☆ away forcefully with both hands, then wiped his slightly swollen lips with his arm.

But seeing Mei☆'s satisfied expression and the shocked stares around them, he couldn't help but show a helpless look.

Then he turned to look at Fu Shi, casting her a puzzled glance, "What's the method you were talking about?"

Fu Shi was silent for a moment, then glared fiercely at Fu Lin and, in a childlike but stern tone, said,

"...You just have to hold me in your arms."

After receiving Fu Shi's instructions, Fu Lin hesitated for a moment. Under Mei☆'s confused gaze, he walked toward Fu Hua. Under Fu Hua's equally puzzled look, he carefully reached out and took Fu Shi into his arms.

However, this seemingly simple action struck Mei☆'s heart like a bolt of lightning, instantly stirring up a storm of emotions within her.

Mei☆ suddenly recalled the things Fu Shi had said earlier, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

"This child... is really Fu Lin's child...?"

Mei☆'s eyes widened as she stared at Fu Lin and Fu Shi, her face turning unusually pale.

She clenched her fists, seemingly trying hard to suppress her emotions, but her body trembled involuntarily.

Looking at the harmonious scene before her, a sharp pain pierced Mei☆'s heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.

But she forced herself not to cry, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.

"Fu Lin, this child is...?"

Mei☆'s voice trembled slightly, her eyes full of expectation and unease.

Fu Lin looked at Mei☆ and replied somewhat blankly,

"Her name is Fu Shi."

Mei☆ bit her lip and pressed on,

"Then who's her mother?"

Her voice grew softer and softer, as if afraid of hearing the answer.

Fu Lin was stunned by Mei☆'s sudden question and muttered to himself, "What is even happening here...?"

He couldn't understand why Mei☆ was asking this all of a sudden, but seeing her hopeful yet slightly anxious expression, he decided to go along with it for now, and turned to look at Fu Hua...

Hearing their conversation, Fu Hua looked utterly confused, clearly unaware of what was going on.

She followed Fu Lin's gaze and instinctively nodded in affirmation.

Listening to their strange exchange, Fu Hua was completely puzzled. She tried to decipher the deeper meaning behind Mei☆'s question but came up empty.

At that moment, she noticed the look Fu Shi was giving her and suddenly understood a bit—Mei☆ mistook her for Fu Shi's mother!

Though the misunderstanding left Fu Hua a bit speechless, she had already come to think of Fu Shi as her own child, so she didn't say anything more.

"Fu Shi's mother is... is... the class president?"

When Mei☆ followed Fu Lin's gaze and saw Fu Hua nodding in confirmation, her eyes went wide and she murmured in disbelief and shock,

"Could it really be... the class president Fu Hua who won over Fu Lin, and not me or Kiana?!"

She couldn't help but recall all the moments she had worked alongside Fu Hua at St. Freya Academy, and a surge of complicated emotions rose within her.

Seeing Mei☆'s shocked expression, Fu Hua felt a little awkward. She scratched her cheek, thinking she should explain, then opened her mouth, "Uh, it's a long story..."

But when she tried to speak, the words got stuck—she genuinely didn't know where to begin telling such a bizarre tale.

The atmosphere turned awkward and tense, and all three fell silent, with only Fu Shi looking around curiously from Fu Lin's arms like she was enjoying a drama.

'...Hahaha, this is so fun!'

Hearing Fu Shi's laughter, Fu Lin began to sense something was wrong. He furrowed his brows and quickly asked,

'Fu Shi, why does Mei☆ look so shocked? Did you say something before I got here?'

Fu Shi blinked innocently, secretly delighted, but deliberately answered nonchalantly,

"Nothing much. I just said you're my dad and I'm your daughter."

After speaking, Fu Shi even made a funny face at Fu Lin.

Fu Lin's expression instantly turned ugly. He widened his eyes and looked at Fu Shi in disbelief.

"You... how could you say that?"

His voice carried a hint of helplessness.

But Fu Shi didn't care at all. Instead, she laughed even more happily, thinking to herself,

Hehe, now let's see how she tries to compete with me for Fu Lin!

At that thought, Fu Shi couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

Seeing the giggling Fu Shi, Fu Lin could only sigh in resignation, silently thinking,

Sometimes there's just no dealing with Fu Shi... After all—long live Lady Herrscher of Sentience!

Mei☆ clenched her fists tightly, her eyes resolute as she stared at Fu Hua and said firmly,

"Even if things have come to this, I still won't give up easily, class president!"

Fu Hua, "???"

Standing to the side, Kiana couldn't help but mutter quietly,

"Mei, the other you suddenly seems super hostile to the class prez. What's going on?"

Hearing Kiana's words, Mei quickly shook her head.

"I... I'm not sure either."

Bronya rubbed her chin thoughtfully and said, "Based on Bronya's years of experience, it seems this Mei☆ sister misunderstood something because of Fu Shi's presence—and mistook the class president for a love rival."
