Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 218 The innocent girl is full of shyness, why does she want to express her true feelings?

"Jiang Ming, are you there? The preparations for the Second God's Key have been completed. The Bishop asked me to inform you to go to the Destiny test site."

"Bianca...?"

Jiang Ming was secretly delighted. He had spent half a year on the mission, and he had been hiding his identity almost all the time during this period. Although Alexandra and Misterine knew his identity, they were not familiar with him.

Until now... Jiang Ming finally returned to the original timeline, and Yulandel came to pick him up as soon as he came back. Jiang Ming was naturally very happy and even a little excited.

After opening the door, what came into view was the familiar delicate face. The perfect and proud breasts were wrapped in a tight white bra vest, and she was wearing a white pleated skirt on the lower body. Of course, she was wearing safety pants, which made her look very capable and refreshing.

The goose yellow leg-length hair was tied into a high ponytail with a black ribbon, which was naturally in the shape of a bow, adding a different kind of cuteness to the serious look of the girl.

Maybe she had just finished training, the girl's thin lips were still gently exhaling hot air, her beautiful blue eyes were twinkling, it seemed that she had just received the news and came to inform herself, some beads of sweat appeared on the girl's waist or collarbone, she looked very exhausted.

Of course, since this serious girl had just finished exercising, the faint fragrance emanating from her body naturally drifted into Jiang Ming's nose, causing a lot of saliva to form in his mouth.

(Ming-chan: Hehehe, Bianca's fragrant and soft ice cream... slurp slurp... mmm! So good! (/≧▽≦))

"Ahh...long time no see, Bianca?"

A gentle smile appeared on Jiang Ming's face, and even his tone was extremely gentle, which made Youlandel stunned. It took her a while to react. After blinking in confusion, she said hesitantly.

"Ah, long time no see... Although that's what I said, it should only be seven days, right?"

"It feels like a long time since we last met. I miss you so much. I have been in seclusion for the past seven days without slacking off. My strength has improved greatly. I feel like I can beat three of my previous selves. Even more fortunately, the aftereffects of using the secret technique have been recovered ahead of schedule."

Jiang Ming clenched his left hand gently, describing his current situation without any reservation.

“Such a huge improvement…?”

Yulandel was stunned again, but soon she showed a smile from the heart, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Then I think you can help me a lot in this mission."

"When does the launch experiment begin?"

"Amber informed me 12 hours ago, but I saw that you were still in seclusion so I didn't disturb you. However, the experiment will start in an hour. I plan to take a shower first and adjust myself to peak condition."

"Well...I'll take a shower too..."

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Ming chose to leave side by side with Youlandel. There was no bathroom or anything like that in the lounge, so the two of them walked towards the bathhouse of the Tianming headquarters, one on the left and one on the right.

Yulandel asked suddenly.

"Jiang Ming, what specific aspects have you improved in?"

"Hmm... probably in terms of mental aspects and attack methods."

Jiang Ming thought for a moment and then answered.

"Haha, if you expose your cards like this, you'll suffer a loss, right?"

Youlandel smiled mischievously, as if she had some ideas in her mind, but Jiang Ming didn't care. Instead, he smiled back gently.

"If it's Lady Yulandel... I'm willing to expose everything about me to you."

As he spoke, Jiang Ming rubbed Youlandel's cute head as if possessed by a demon. That gentle and doting smile was also reflected in Youlandel's eyes.

"Eh...? Jiang Ming, you..."

Youlan Daier's delicate face was completely stunned, and even her even steps became chaotic - she just wanted to tease him suddenly, but in the end... Even her closest Rita had never said such a thing to her, let alone Jiang Ming, a boy? The lethality of this sentence was undoubtedly huge.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming scratched his cheek awkwardly and apologized repeatedly.

"Sorry, sorry, it's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I really missed you... Just think of it as some small episodes, don't take it seriously."

"...What on earth did you go through in the past seven days..."

Yulandel only felt that she was sweating more and more, and her heartbeat and already light breathing also quickened a little. She unconsciously put her hand on her chest, trying to slow down her rapid heartbeat, but it was no use - it was still beating fast.

Yulandel turned slightly to the side. In this tense situation, she recalled in her mind her subconscious evaluation of Jiang Ming and what the bishop had said to her—

[As for his personality, he is the type who is gentle, considerate, modest, does not cause trouble to others, and is very caring]

[He cherishes the lives of others, especially the lives of the Valkyries. He does not regard the Valkyries as tools to fight the Honkai.]

If he does something wrong, he will probably reflect on himself first instead of blaming others.

[In short, I think he is a great, principled person who is willing to sacrifice his life for others]

[Everything he has done, expressed, and shown to us so far is actually to protect his own interests, and you... are also his interests]

"Ah..."

Maybe she was shy or something, but Bianca let out a few shameful moans. After all, no matter how serious she looked on the outside, she was still just an innocent little girl at heart.

"Bianca?"

Jiang Ming noticed this immediately, so he gently placed his hand on her shoulder and spoke apologetically again.

"I'm sorry... I didn't expect you to react so strongly. It's my fault. I won't say it again."

"Hey!"

Just as Jiang Ming put his hand on her shoulder, Youlandel's body trembled as if suddenly frightened, and a clear blush appeared on her always serious cheeks. Her eyes were slightly moist, and her beautiful eyes flickered. No one knew what she was thinking.

This actually frightened Jiang Ming and he gasped secretly———"Hey, hey...what's going on? Are you crying? How is that possible!? Are you kidding me?!"

Although he kept thinking that this was absolutely impossible, Jiang Ming didn't want to experience a drop in Yulandel's favorability towards him after he came back from a mission after half a year.

But before he could explain again, Yulandel grabbed Jiang Ming's right hand on her shoulder with her left hand and pushed him against the hard white wall. Due to the height difference of more than ten centimeters between the two, it was very cute no matter from which angle. Yulandel looked up at Jiang Ming who looked embarrassed.

“Ehhhh——?!”

Jiang Ming's face turned pale instantly, and his dark eyes opened wide. He had never expected that Yulandel would suddenly do this to him. Although Jiang Ming was fully capable of breaking free, he didn't know what Yulandel was trying to do, so he planned to wait and see. Besides, it would be too ungentlemanly to break free directly.

"Ms. Bianca!? What...what are you going to do?"

This was not an act, Jiang Ming was indeed very surprised. Moreover, Jiang Ming would never hide his inner feelings in front of them.

"...I...I'm going to ask you a question! You...you must answer me honestly! No lies are allowed, understand?"

The meticulous Youlandel actually uttered this sentence intermittently, but Jiang Ming couldn't help but tilt his head when he heard it.

"What...what? Ah!...Ask, ask."

Stared at by Youlandel's suddenly sharp eyes, Jiang Ming nodded quickly as if a little scared.

"Hoo~, Jiang Ming!"

"exist!"

After closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Youlandel called out Jiang Ming's name loudly, and Jiang Ming also responded loudly.

"Hmm...I did a little research on your female relationships."

"ha?!!"

Jiang Ming thought that Youlandel wanted to ask him about his future plans or wanted to challenge him to a sparring match, but he didn't expect that this question would make him scream out loud and sweat ran down his cheeks.

"Wh...when?"

"After last Christmas... ah, no... don't interrupt me when I'm asking you a question!"

Yulandel's complexion became even more rosy, and Jiang Ming could even tell that she was only one sentence away from becoming the Steam Queen. However, in order to get more words out of her, Jiang Ming had to nod silently.

"According to the information, you live in the same villa with Raiden Mei, Kiana Kaslana, Bronya Zaycek, Yae Sakura, Yae Rin, Yuexia, Fu Hua, Murasaki Himeko, and Theresa. Except for Fu Hua, Murasaki Himeko, and Theresa, you are more intimate with other girls, especially Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura, you have even reached the point of hugging each other to sleep at night..."

"Where did you hear this news?!"

"I asked Rita to find out the campus dark web of Saint Freya Academy... No! Don't interrupt me!!"

The two screamed at the same time and looked away from each other, not daring to look at each other again. It was very simple, because -

"It's over, it's over... I remember that the only time I slept with Mei and Sakura was on Christmas Eve... I was forced, but how did those students know? Wait... Bianca didn't say that I was with Mei and Sakura... But this doesn't make sense! Ahhh... Will Bianca think I'm indecent! ? "

"Oops, oops... I accidentally let it out... I told Rita to keep it a secret... I'm really not good at rejecting him, I can't even lie... Ahhh... Will Jiang Ming find my invasion of privacy annoying!? "

"What should I do!?" x2

The two of them panicked at the same time, thinking about how to deal with the situation. Soon, in this critical situation, Yulandel first thought of what Rita had said to him. After Jiang Ming went into seclusion, Yulandel asked Rita what she thought of Jiang Ming.

"Master Jiang Ming... He is a very tolerant person, especially towards us. He is almost able to tolerate everything. As long as the jokes are not too excessive, he will smile and dote on us."

"Is this so..."

"It's not just that, Lady Yulandel."

Rita narrowed her eyes slightly, her wine-red pupils glowed slightly, and she said meaningfully.

"According to Rita's little guess... Lord Jiang Ming will be very tolerant of us. As long as we are a little tougher... and add a little threat, there will be no questions he won't answer and no things he won't do for us. Of course, the premise is that Lord Jiang Ming must know and be able to do it."

The memory ended, and less than two seconds had passed in reality.

"Be a little tougher, a little more aggressive, a little more aggressive..."

"What...?"

Youlandel lowered her head slightly and looked at the ground, murmuring softly, as if to cheer herself up, but due to her nervousness, some of the pronunciations were even wrong. It was not that Jiang Ming could not hear clearly, but that he could not understand at all.

But she had already made a firm decision - her heart was beating so fast, she must have fallen in love with Jiang Ming, there was no other explanation.

Therefore, as long as she got an answer that Jiang Ming also liked her, she would accept it even if there were other girls who liked her. In Yulandel's opinion, it would be strange if no one liked such an outstanding man like Jiang Ming.

Suddenly! Youlan Daier raised her head abruptly, but her usually serious expression now seemed a little hesitant. Her white teeth gently bit her lower lip, and then quickly released it. Her face was still blushing, but the question in her mouth suddenly changed.

"Jiang Ming! Although it may be presumptuous, I have something to ask you! I am happy to see that you are in good health, but aren't you a little too energetic?"

"what?"

After Yulandel finished her nonstop speech, Jiang Ming frowned in confusion - in his mind, this was not something Yulandel would say.

"You don't have to pretend anymore. After a detailed investigation, I found that you are a surprising playboy who has at least six girlfriends!"

"So what on earth are you talking about all of a sudden!?"

As both sides of his head were blocked by Yulandel's hands against the wall, Jiang Ming had no choice but to close his eyes and raise his head, wailing.

To be honest, even Youlandel herself didn't know what she was talking about. Her brain, which was originally able to quickly analyze the battlefield situation, seemed to have crashed at this moment. Her mind was blank. She really couldn't accept the fact that she was probably not the "real boss"...

But she still spoke firmly.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"Let's not talk about the others for now. How old do you think Rin, Yuexia, and Bronya are?! Bianca, what inspired you to say such a thing?!"

After shouting helplessly again, Jiang Ming smiled bitterly and tried to comfort her.

"Okay, Bianca, you just finished exercising. If you don't wash off the sweat on your body quickly, you will catch a cold if the wind blows on you. Not only will it affect the experiment, it will also be bad for your health. You should take a shower quickly."

"No! I haven't finished asking my questions yet!"

Youlandel was a little bit unwilling to give in. She knew that she might not have the courage to say such words again in the future. She decided to follow her heart. After taking a deep breath again, she asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time -

"Jiang Ming, do you... like me? "
