The world outside was shrouded in mist, completely obscuring the view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a storm, it was impossible to run more than ten kilometers without an umbrella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn didn't want to die so young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even have a maid yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The joys and sorrows of human beings are not shared. Viloti and Adeline were quite happy at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy rain just happened to fall, and the person they liked didn't have an umbrella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the two young ladies, this was practically a free-point question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either pretend they also didn't bring an umbrella and stay with the person they like until the rain stops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or take out an umbrella and squeeze into a small space with the person they like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter which option they chose, it was a win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heaven-sent opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if both options were chosen at the same time, it would be a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn, I didn't bring an umbrella either. I don't know when this rain will stop.\" Adeline looked at the heavy rain outside the window, thinking to herself, please don't stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it keeps raining like this, I don't think either of us can leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending the night in the classroom with just Felyn sounded wonderful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn, I brought an umbrella. Let's go first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti pulled a purple floral umbrella from her school bag and tugged on Felyn's sleeve, wanting to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti had used a little trick, specifically waiting for Adeline to admit she didn't have an umbrella first before taking hers out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, Felyn could only share an umbrella with Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Viloti, Adeline was a complete novice; she still had much to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Viloti!\" Adeline glared at Viloti. The heaven-sent opportunity had been artificially ruined by her, which made Adeline very annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Viloti had just said, \"Let's go first,\" completely disregarding Adeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adeline, you can call for someone to pick you up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti pointed out the fact that a young lady like Adeline would never be trapped in a classroom just because of a mere umbrella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the rain is too heavy, my family didn't come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My family is here. I can drop Felyn off and then come back to pick you up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, she just wouldn't let Adeline and Felyn be together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bolt of lightning split the night sky. Thunder was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then, Adeline, we'll be leaving first,\" Felyn, who had been silent for a long time, said to Adeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn, how could you too...\" Adeline stood up, the chair letting out a screech as it fell backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly took two steps forward, reaching out to grab Felyn, but her hand ultimately froze in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had to be a limit to pursuing someone. If she clung to Felyn constantly, he would definitely come to hate her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's okay, Adeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that Felyn doesn't like me tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow, or the day after, or next month, when Felyn doesn't dislike me as much, I can still be with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a deafening clap of thunder suddenly rang out, as if a god was beating a giant war drum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Felyn reacted, Adeline's hands were already wrapped tightly around his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cheek was pressed against Felyn's shoulder, her rose-tea colored hair falling in disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyelashes trembled nonstop, and her whole body was tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young lady wasn't acting; she was genuinely afraid of thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spent so much time with Adeline, Felyn naturally knew that she was very scared right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-sorry, Felyn... I'm just a little scared...\" Adeline's voice was very small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this had happened during the contract period, Felyn would usually pat Adeline's back, coaxing her while angrily scolding the heavens for being so mean as to scare her with thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But tonight, Adeline could not enjoy Felyn's service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn standing still without moving was the biggest concession he could make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ten minutes passed, the frequency of the thunder decreased, and eventually, it was no longer heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline let out a long sigh of relief in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did she have the mind to notice how close she and Felyn were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So close that it created the illusion that she had returned to the warmth of the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti, who had been standing beside Felyn with a cold face all this time, noticed that Adeline was no longer so scared and said, \"Adeline, you can hold onto my shoulder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? Felyn and I are both human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's completely different! Can't I just hold onto Felyn?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Adeline and Viloti bickering again, Felyn knew Adeline was no longer afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He freed himself from Adeline's embrace and shook his somewhat numb arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain was getting heavier and heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had agreed to Viloti's proposal just now only because he didn't want to stay with Adeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how to get back after leaving the school, Felyn was still worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want Viloti to take him home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there were definitely no buses back to the Mist District now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he took a private car, he would first have to go to the private car stop before he could get on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no sigil in this world that could summon a car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't be impossible to ask Viloti to borrow an umbrella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in such a storm, having an umbrella was the same as not having one, not to mention Felyn would have to walk more than ten kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Felyn was worrying, his communication sigil vibrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a message from Daiyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I saw you left your umbrella at home. Bernice and I happen to be eating near your school. Should we come pick you up?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Won't it be a bother?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Isn't it a girlfriend's duty to be a bother? I'll be there in about an hour or so.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Aren't you eating nearby? Why will it take over an hour?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[My heart is near you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging a few sarcastic remarks with Daiyi, Felyn put the sigil back in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and Bernice would come to pick him up by car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two can go back first. Someone will come to pick me up later,\" Felyn said, sitting back down in his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My... sister. You've met her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn really wanted to say friend or relative, not wanting Viloti and Adeline to know too much about Daiyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Felyn had no friends, and not a single relative!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Daiyi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline sat back down in her seat. \"It just so happens I still have some work to finish. I'll wait with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll wait too.\" Viloti also sat back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The empty classroom felt very crowded with the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn was sandwiched between the two of them, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn, do you want a late-night snack? The pudding I bought for you is still well-preserved. Just let me know if you want to eat it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adeline, I want to eat it. Give it to me,\" Viloti said, holding out a small hand with a deadpan expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I bought it for Felyn. If you want to eat it, go buy it yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph.\" Viloti crossed her arms over her chest and let out a soft snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn propped his face up with both hands, a pained expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't figure out which step he had taken wrong to have ended up in this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over and over, he felt that his biggest problem was meeting these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1283,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.214Z",1,"novelbin.me","5ecf1ab5008108568cbd6c3e1bfe36301a3927000780ff7a2e37fdda45def966","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-258","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-256",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
