“So, why do you call Silence Suzuka ‘Lu Bao’?”

The familiar question rang out in the lounge.

After Uralala left, Seiun Sky closed the door.

She seemed like a changed person, the restraints of her relationship with her Trainer and teammates no longer existed.

“Is there a problem? Silence Suzuka didn’t even protest.” Lu Jue leaned back in his seat, a playful expression on his face.

“Yes, there is. It’s impolite to call her that.” Seiun Sky came up with a clumsy excuse.

“Are you speaking up for Silence Suzuka now?”

“I care about Silence Suzuka, is that not allowed?”

“It’s allowed, of course, but then what’s wrong with me calling her ‘Lu Bao’?” Lu Jue leaned forward, resting his hands on his head, “Or are you saying you want me to call you that too?”

“I…” Seiun Sky bit her lip, a difficult mountain stuck in her throat, hard to utter.

She hesitated, a timid light in her eyes, and as soon as she turned to Lu Jue, she met his smiling eyes and quickly recoiled.

Instead, Seiun Sky changed the subject, “I still have to do steep slope training later.”

“Mhm.” Lu Jue nodded, waiting for her to continue.

Seiun Sky took out a familiar iron ring from her pocket, “The weighted ring, I don’t know how to put it on.”

Lu Jue was quite speechless.

They had already gone through one round of training, and now she was telling him she didn’t know how to put it on.

“Trainer, could you please help me put it on?” Seiun Sky, now on the offensive, had adopted a different demeanor.

“Did you not use weighted rings for your previous training sessions?”

“I did, but Xiao Te has them, so I want them too. You promised me.” Seiun Sky bent down and pulled up her pant leg, revealing her fair, rosy skin, her gaze at Lu Jue self-explanatory.

Alright, Lu Jue had indeed promised.

He got up from his chair and walked towards Seiun Sky, “Alright, sit properly.”

Seiun Sky placed her hands on either side of her, watching Lu Jue put the weighted ring on her.

This inexplicably reminded her of a ring. Why wouldn’t it count? It was just worn on the ankle. No, no, it couldn’t count, because Lu Jue had also put it on Xiao Te.

“Trainer, when you put it on Xiao Te, did you touch her leg?”

Now it was Lu Jue’s turn to be shocked.

He had been so natural and discreet at the time, he hadn’t expected Seiun Sky to notice. She was too observant.

But Lu Jue would not admit it directly, “Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t. Xiao Te’s leg isn’t smooth at all.”

He indirectly admitted it, though.

Lu Jue’s relationship with Seiun Sky was currently a bit delicate.

Precisely because of this, his words gradually no longer needed to be thought through, yet they could fit this delicate relationship.

“Eh~ So you did touch it, didn’t you?” Seiun Sky surprisingly showed no signs of anger, her tone and expression instead becoming playful, turning the tables.

At this moment, Lu Jue had just finished putting on one weighted ring for her, but there was still the other side. “I don’t know.”

Seiun Sky extended her other leg, and while Lu Jue was putting on the weighted ring for her, she deliberately rubbed his hand, “Then I’ll ask you…”

Lu Jue lightly patted her, interrupting her, “Don’t ask yet, and don’t move around. It’ll be hard to put on if you keep moving.”

“I want to ask, is Xiao Te’s better, or is mine better?”

“Hers is good, yours is good, both are good.”

“Don’t brush me off. You said you wouldn’t ignore my feelings anymore.”

Lu Jue’s head instantly swelled.

He did say that, but he didn’t expect Seiun Sky to use it this way. This sentence sounded like something an emperor would say, then used by a minister to turn the tables, repeatedly.

“Yours is good~ Fair and tender, yet without losing a sense of strength and curves. Such good calves, if they’re not used for…” Lu Jue paused at a clever spot.

Given the temperament of a lewd Uma Musume, she should start fantasizing about certain things.

“Not, not used for what…” As expected, Seiun Sky’s tone became nervous, her voice even trembling slightly.

Lu Jue glanced at her and said with a chuckle, “It would be too wasteful not to use them for running. Thankfully, you didn’t take a detour.”

Seiun Sky snorted, the clear autumn water in her eyes seemingly pure, but upon closer inspection, one would find a murky spring brewing at the bottom, eager to stir.

No one knew what she was thinking again.

After putting on the weighted rings, Lu Jue stood up.

Seiun Sky was already much shorter than Lu Jue, and now that she was sitting, her figure appeared even more petite in comparison. If he didn’t look up, the view would be quite spectacular.

“It’s getting late, aren’t you going back for dinner?”

“I know, I’ll be doing a night run later.”

“The ‘King of Grinders’ finally openly admits she’s going to grind at night too.” Lu Jue chuckled, “But training should be moderate. Overclocking is fine in moderation, but don’t over-overclock.”

“I know~ What about you, aren’t you going back yet?”

“Mhm, I still have a few things to do. I’ll go back once I’m done.”

“Trainer is really busy~” Seiun Sky stood up and began packing her backpack.

Teresen was, after all, a school. Besides training, there were also some assignments to do after theoretical classes.

So neither Silence Suzuka nor Seiun Sky could stay every day to accompany Lu Jue.

Speaking of which, there seemed to be a mid-term academic quality assessment coming up soon.

“Oh, that’s right.” Lu Jue suddenly called out to Seiun Sky.

“Hm?”

Lu Jue said casually, “Remember to wear a jacket and long pants when you run at night. Don’t catch a cold. There are a lot of mosquitoes lately. I got bitten the day before yesterday, and it was on my handsome face.”

Seiun Sky’s shoulders slumped. How could she not understand that Lu Jue was talking about her?

She glared at Lu Jue in embarrassment and anger, then turned away, but felt it would be too undignified to just leave like that.

“What’s wrong, little Seiun?” Seeing Seiun Sky turn back, Lu Jue feigned ignorance, as if he knew nothing.

Seiun Sky didn’t respond. Instead, she walked fiercely to Lu Jue’s side, using the same trick, diligently stood on her tiptoes, and kissed Lu Jue’s cheek again.

It wasn’t a light peck, nor was it a long, lingering kiss.

She walked in fiercely, and left fiercely.

It wasn’t until the lounge door closed that Lu Jue snapped out of his surprised state.

Under the bright lights, the two rows of teeth marks on his cheek were particularly obvious, adorned with a few glistening specks, like fireflies or tiny, sparkling dewdrops.

Lu Jue touched his cheek.

I won’t wash my face anymore… Oh, no.

His mind echoed Seiun Sky’s soft, petulant words in his ear just now, “Watch out, mosquitoes might bite you to death!”
