Chapter 266

She was too busy eating melon.

She completely forgot about this matter.

It seems she saw something she shouldn't have seen!

121. Pela: Since I can't pretend not to see, I might as well join.

At this moment.

Pela felt as if she were back in the cold wave, her heart growing half frozen.

She even felt some regret.

How did she make such a huge mistake?

After stumbling upon the "good deeds" of two leaders, she not only didn't leave but stayed right where she was.

Isn't this just waiting to be dealt with?

If from the very beginning, she had pretended not to know and then left quickly.

Even if the Commander knew she had been there, he should have pretended not to know as well.

In that case.

This matter would be as if it never happened.

But when she chose not to leave, the nature of the matter changed.

Pela loved reading very much.

So she could easily find "history" in the classics and match it with the present.

And her own fate.

Not only might she be expelled, but even...

She might be silenced!

After all, staying without leaving is easily seen as a threat.

However, there is still a chance for life.

Pela's thoughts turned very quickly.

In an instant.

She thought of a solution.

But before implementing it, it would be best to confirm first.

"My lord, the first meeting agenda you arranged is ready. The Stellaron Hunters are waiting in the lounge." Pela spoke in a tone of official business.

She prepared to play dumb first.

But Lin Qi's eyes showed no change at all, as if he still wanted to say something.

Suddenly.

Pela knew she couldn't pretend anymore.

The Commander had seen through her thoughts long ago.

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

How many years has she studied?

Even though she had deepened her studies in the Synesthetic dream for many years, possessing life experience several times her physiological age, trying to compete with a genius in life experience was still somewhat wishful thinking.

Fortunately, while studying, Pela had also read many leisure books.

So she knew exactly what to do now.

Actually, it was very simple.

It mainly depended on whether she herself could summon the courage.

As long as they shared the same secret, surely she wouldn't be buried or even silenced, right?

Just like outlaws, who must present a pledge of loyalty before joining.

And Pela's pledge of loyalty was also very simple.

The next moment. 04 Pela gritted her teeth and took off her scribe's coat.

Gritting her teeth again, she even started working on the tights on her legs!

She bent her waist down.

Her hand also started reaching toward the position below Lin Qi's abdomen.

That's right.

Pela's solution was...

To join!

"Pela, what are you doing?"

Before Pela's hand reached over, Lin Qi snapped out of it.

Because everything just now happened too quickly.

So much so that his brain short-circuited a bit.

He didn't react in time.

But this really couldn't be blamed on him.

Pela's actions were simply too shocking and caught everyone off guard.

At first.

When she took off her coat, Lin Qi didn't think much of it.

He just thought it was a bit strange.

Or perhaps the heating in the conference hall was turned on a bit too high.

Pela, who was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person, found it somewhat unbearable.

But Pela's subsequent action completely exceeded Lin Qi's expectations.

Is this the kind of plot twist that only happens in the reverse side of daytime anime?

As for Pela herself.

Upon hearing Lin Qi's voice, she paused, her tone low.

She replied.

"Rest assured, Commander my lord, Pela will absolutely not reveal a single word to the outside; this matter is known only to you and me, or at most adding one Great Guardian my lord—hm, just the three of us know!"

Having finished speaking.

Pela's small hand reached forward once again.

Although she did not state it very clearly, Lin Qi understood perfectly.

What in the world is this?

Obviously.

Pela had misunderstood.

And not just a little.

If her face hadn't been as red as an apple and her movements as stiff as if she were clearing mines, Lin Qi might have actually believed it.

"Stop right there." Lin Qi directly used telekinesis to freeze Pela in place.

Preventing her from making any further moves.

Then.

Lin Qi explained again, "It's not what you think; never mind, even if it were, this is neither the time nor the place, understand?"

Pela blinked her eyes, it was unclear whether she understood or not.

Helplessly.

Lin Qi had no choice but to release her from his restraint.

Preparing to hear her response.

"Commander my lord, I actually thought..." Pela stopped halfway through her sentence, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Thought what?" Lin Qi asked irritably.

"I thought Commander my lord was into this sort of thing? You froze me just now yet made no further move; it seems the 'Time Stop' series isn't as authentic as claimed, or perhaps I'm just not attractive enough?" Pela replied.

For some reason, Lin Qi detected a note of regret in her tone.

How could...

Could this girl actually be expecting it?
