Chapter 136: Ban Zhan Declares War

I do not know how much time had passed before I slowly stirred from a world of unconsciousness. Almost at the moment I awoke, I felt a warmth, as if I were being enveloped by something incredibly soft.

It was such a warm, peaceful sensation. My body was wrapped and guarded by something—but what was this feeling? Why did it feel so familiar, yet so strange? That fragrance, that warm touch—what exactly was it? Although my mind was not yet clear, I knew that I actually liked this feeling.

*What… how did it end up like this? Where am I? Why am I here? What happened when I fainted?* Even though it was just a glance, I had caught sight of a towel, glimpses of skin, and even those adorable pink strawberries—everything was laid bare before my eyes!

This… what was going on? *Thump, thump, thump!* My heart hammered, feeling as if it were about to burst from my chest. I looked left and right, realizing I was in my dormitory, but why was Huanyue lying on top of me? The sheer temptation made my face flush instantly.

I must not lose control. My willpower warned me that the consequences would be unimaginable if I did. However, Huanyue was currently in a deep sleep, unaware of what was happening. I slowly tried to straighten my body, but the white bath towel that had been covering her slipped away unnoticed. Suddenly, she wrapped both arms around my neck and collapsed completely into my embrace, her beautiful body devoid of any covering. The sensation of that warm, soft, and supple weight pressing against me turned my mind into a complete blank.

At this proximity, I could feel clearly that her soft breasts were pressed tightly against my chest. Heavens, could someone tell me what exactly happened while I was unconscious?

"Huanyue, no! Please, wake up. Don't be like this; if someone sees us, it will be a misunderstanding." As I tried to push her away, my hands accidentally brushed against those full, resilient peaks.

My face turned so red it could not get any redder. Huanyue’s face was also flushed, though hers looked more like she was drunk. But if she had been drinking last night, surely the effects should have worn off by this morning? And if she hadn’t woken up, how did she manage to walk out of her room? Was she sleepwalking? An illogical thought surfaced in my mind.

"Long Ling… Long Ling…"

"What?" I replied.

"Idiot, idiot, idiot. Long Ling, you big idiot. I won't allow you to leave me behind for other girls. I like you so much, wuwuwu…" No way! My brain was completely fried; my brain cells had turned to mush. Why hadn’t anyone told me this would happen?

"Brother Long Ling, Sister Huan, are you awake?" Accompanied by a cheerful female voice, a girl burst through the door. Because Huanyue was still lying on me, I couldn't speak loudly. I looked on in embarrassment as Guang Zhi Ya strode over to my bedside.

"Oh, you're awake. So that method really worked." I stared at her with wide eyes. *This… what kind of method is this?*

"Yes, I'm awake. Please, help me move Huanyue off me, okay?" I pleaded, feeling mortified.

"Sure! Next time you faint, I’ll do the same thing. This method is really effective." Guang Zhi Ya laughed happily and helped me move Huanyue onto her own bed. Finally able to move, I quickly threw on a jacket and pants (I had only been in my underwear moments before). However, Guang Zhi Ya had already sat down on the edge of my bed.

*Phew!* I let out a sigh of relief. If we had stayed in that intimate position, I truly wouldn't have known what to do.

"Is your body alright now? Seeing you collapse like that, I was so, so worried! I tried calling you, but you wouldn't wake up, and none of the methods I tried seemed to work." Guang Zhi Ya said, touching my forehead.

"Thank you for your concern. Can you tell me what happened?" I really wanted to figure out what had happened to me.

"Well, it was like this: while you were taking a bath, you suddenly hit your head against the bottom of the tub and fainted. I didn't know what to do at all, but it's great that you're fine now," Guang Zhi Ya said cheerfully.

"I… I see. I'm sorry for making you worry," I said, feeling guilty.

"Not at all. We are friends, and helping friends is only natural," Guang Zhi Ya said, shaking her head.

"Thank you!" I said, truly grateful.

I then asked, "I have a question for you."

Guang Zhi Ya puffed out her chest and said, "Ask away. As long as I know the answer, I will tell you. You shouldn't look so down; just tell me what you want to ask, and I will do my best to answer."

I asked, "Where did you learn that method?"

Guang Zhi Ya replied without hesitation, "I read it in a novel."

"A… a novel?" I stared at this girl in disbelief. Was she truly this innocent, or was there something else going on?

"It's getting late, and I have to go back and do my homework. You should work on your relationship with Sister Huan. Well, I'm heading off!" With that, Guang Zhi Ya stood up and walked toward the door, humming a little tune.

Just as she was about to leave my room, she seemed to remember something, turned around, and said, "Oh, right! Call me Xiao Guang from now on. My dorm is right across from yours. Let's level up together when we have time! And let's bathe together again next time. Also, if you want to find me, you can come anytime. I don't lock my door, so feel free to drop by!"

"Uh… this…" Before I could even react, Xiao Guang had already left, humming as she ran out of my room and drifted into the distance.

My god, I really want to know how her childhood was spent. She is just too innocent.

***

After surviving a day that could not have been more bizarre, my life finally returned to normal. The next day, Huanyue and I walked toward the classroom together. On the way, she asked, "Long Ling, did I drink too much yesterday?"

I replied, "Yes, you did."

Huanyue said, "I'm sorry. Every time I drink, I can't control my excitement. I can't stop until I pass out."

I said, "Even if you like it, you can't just lose control like that. Drink less next time."

Huanyue blushed slightly and said, "Thank you."

As soon as we walked into the classroom, Ye Shuang stood up immediately and said, "Brother, hurry up! We've been waiting for you."

"What?" Confused, I sat down at my desk. Ye Shuang then stepped onto the podium, slapped the table, and shouted, "Everyone, listen up! As the class monitor of Class 11, I propose that we declare a class battle!"

"What?"

"We are declaring the war? Interesting. We've never initiated a declaration before. Which class are we going to beat up this time?"

Ye Shuang shouted, "We are going to deal with Class 7! Those guys said our last victory was due to underhanded tactics. We cannot tolerate those who look down on us!"

"Absolutely not!" the whole class shouted in unison.

I asked Xiao Xi, "What happened with that last victory? Why did they say we were underhanded?"

Xiao Xi said, "Before those guys from that class fought us last time, most of them had diarrhea."

"Diarrhea?! How did that happen?" I asked, puzzled.

Xiao Xi said, "Because of the food those people ate…" She leaned in and whispered the details into my ear.

"Ah! So that's what happened. Those guys were really miserable," I whispered back.

Ye Shuang continued, "And so, by declaring war this time, we will prove that we are absolutely not low-down, dirty people. We are going to defeat those guys fair and square!"

"That's right, fair and square!" the whole class shouted again.

Ye Shuang yelled, "For our victory, for our points, and for our semester scholarships—Class 11, let's go!"

"Go! Go! Go!..." The class began to get excited. Seeing this, I knew I definitely had to participate in the class battle this afternoon.
