Chapter 368: Fu Lin, really not possible?

Hearing this, Theresa nodded in realization and muttered to herself, "Oh, I see. That makes sense."

'You don't get it at all!'

Fu Lin couldn't help but complain in his heart, shaking his head helplessly, thinking that sometimes, Theresa was just too adorable.

So Fu Lin decided to explain everything himself to avoid further misunderstanding. He cleared his throat and began to explain seriously...

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

Theresa widened her eyes, her fingers trembling as she pointed at Mei☆, her face filled with disbelief. She stammered,

"S-So… she's Mei☆ from another world?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Theresa still seemed unable to believe what she had just heard. She took a deep breath to calm herself, then asked,

"Then… where will she live? Even if she has money, she can't use it in our world, right? We can't let her sleep on the streets, can we?"

Everyone simultaneously turned their gaze to Theresa, a trace of expectation in their eyes.

Seeing this, Theresa quickly shook her head and waved her hands, trying to dismiss the idea,

"St. Freya doesn't have any extra dorms anymore. Even Himeko will be staying with me for a while! There's really no space for anyone else."

Himeko was stunned when she heard this. She sat up with a surprised look and said,

"What! When did I ever say I'd live with you? I want my apartment! That's my private space!"

Theresa smiled wryly and waved her hand, explaining with a helpless expression,

"You have to understand, we really don't have the funds to repair your place right now."

"Besides, it's just temporary. Once Grandpa sends funding for St. Freya Academy, your apartment will definitely be fixed."

After hearing that, Himeko instantly deflated like a withered tomato, lifelessly collapsing back onto the bed and weakly saying,

"…Fine. Let's just continue discussing where Mei☆ should live."

At this moment, Theresa turned her gaze to Fu Lin, the corners of her mouth rising slightly into a teasing smile as she said,

"Since Mei☆ came for you, naturally, you should be the one to figure this out."

"No way! Theresa!"

Fu Lin's eyes widened in disbelief as he shouted.

Theresa cleared her throat and corrected him sternly, "Call me Headmistress!"

Fu Lin paused, then said,

"…Headmistress, you know how small my dorm is. If Mei☆ stays with me, we'll be crammed into the same bed!"

Hearing this, Mei☆ fell into thought. She glanced at the indifferent Fu Hua, then suddenly lit up. She quickly stepped forward and interrupted Theresa, saying,

"It's fine, Fu Lin. Don't trouble the Headmistress. I don't mind sharing a bed with you."

After she spoke, Mei☆ winked at Fu Lin and smiled seductively.

Fu Lin trembled all over. That familiar smile made a certain part of his body feel drained, like he was being hollowed out.

However, just as Mei☆ finished speaking, two voices rang out in unison,

"No way!"

Everyone turned around to see Kiana and Fu Shi standing there with serious expressions, clearly disapproving of Mei☆'s suggestion.

Kiana stood with arms akimbo, a look of firm determination on her face, and said,

"There's no way I'm letting Mei live with Fu Lin. Even if she's a Mei☆ from another world! Who knows what that guy might try to do to her."

"Nope, absolutely not!"

Fu Shi chimed in at the perfect moment, "Exactly, I disagree too!"

Fu Lin cleared his throat, glanced at Mei☆, and rejected calmly,

"Shouldn't you ask my opinion too? I don't agree either. Men and women shouldn't be too close."

Even Fu Lin rejected her. Mei☆'s eyes instantly filled with grievance. She bit her lip and slowly clenched her fists,

"..."

Fu Lin spread his hands, ignoring Mei☆'s gaze, and continued,

"Headmistress, as you can see, nobody agrees."

Theresa flopped onto the bed, pulling the covers over herself like a child and said,

"You guys figure it out. I'm out of this."

Kiana's eyes lit up, seizing the moment. She quickly spoke up,

"Mei☆~, why don't you just sleep at my place? It's pretty big—we can fit another person!"

She looked at Mei☆ expectantly, as if already imagining her nodding in agreement. But Mei☆ shook her head, "I refuse."

Kiana immediately panicked. At that moment, Bronya cut in,

"Stupid Kiana. Even Himeko-sensei lost her dorm. We don't have a place to stay either. How could we fit another person?"

Hearing this, Kiana turned to Bronya in surprise and said,

"Huh? We don't have a place either? Then where are we sleeping tonight?"

Seeing Kiana only now realizing the situation, Bronya looked exasperated, metaphorical stress lines appearing on her forehead, "...Idiot Kiana."

Wendy stood there in a daze, unsure how to react, only able to sigh internally (?????), So these are Bronya-nee's companions…

Looking at the protozoan-like Kiana, Mei☆ was speechless. Then, like an abandoned pet, she looked pitifully at Fu Lin and asked,

"Fu Lin, really not possible?"

Before Fu Lin could reply, Kiana and Fu Shi shouted in unison again,

"No way!"
