I Have A Game Clone - Chapter 95
95 True Nature
Putting away his phone, Ning Shi glanced at Hao Meng and said directly.
“Mengmeng, I have a piece of news that I haven’t told you. I already have a girlfriend and we are in a very stable relationship.”
Ning Shi was calm as he explained. He thought of Lena’s warm and sunny smile and looked at Hao Meng’s teary red eyes. He continued.
“The last time I went on a blind date, I was still single. It was just that fate brought us together, and we quickly developed a relationship.”
!!
“I have to make it clear to you, or else you will be wasting your youth and love on me.”
Hao Meng, who had always been able to accurately control her mind and simulate various personality modes, could not suppress her sadness after hearing this.
Her heart ached involuntarily, and tears flowed out.
Bean-sized tears rolled down her snow-white cheeks.
She took the tissue from Ning Shi and kept telling herself in her heart.
“Don’t cry, Hao Meng. You can’t cry. Didn’t you plan this all along?”
Her tears, however, seemed to burst out like a broken dam.
In the end, she couldn’t help it.
“Brother Shitou, shoulder… Hmph… Let me lean on you for a moment.”
Without waiting for Ning Shi’s reply, Hao Meng leaned her head on Ning Shi’s shoulder and started sobbing.
Her tears quickly soaked Ning Shi’s clothes.
When his shoulder touched Hao Meng’s cold tears, Ning Shi also felt a wave of sadness.
He began to reflect on whether telling Hao Meng that he had a girlfriend was the right thing to do.
Then, he numbly consoled herself that it was all for Hao Meng’s own good.
Hao Meng cried for a long time and finally fell asleep on Ning Shi’s shoulder.
Ning Shi was afraid of waking her up, so he stiffened and didn’t dare to move.
He could clearly feel Hao Meng’s even breathing beside his ear.
After Hao Meng fell asleep, she laid softly on Ning Shi’s body. Ning Shi pulled her into an embrace, then he sniffed the faint fragrance of her body and began to ask himself.
“If Hao Meng married another man, would I be able to take it?”
Just thinking about this scene made Ning Shi murderous.
It didn’t matter if he was a bastard or a scumbag, Ning Shi was now facing himself honestly and seeing his own heart.
It seemed that he liked both Lena and Hao Meng.
“I’m now the owner of the origin treasure. If I can survive to the end, I’ll definitely be the final winner in the world war.”
“By then, I would be invincible, so what if I found a few more women?”
“I would die eventually, be it in the process of fighting or something else. I didn’t need to care about the eyes and opinions of the secular world.”
“As a human, I should be more proactive and take the initiative to fight for what I want.”
Understanding this, Ning Shi reached out his hands and hugged Hao Meng’s body, letting her sleep more comfortably.
Hao Meng turned around and curled up in Ning Shi’s arms. She didn’t wake up and continued to sleep.
However, the corners of her mouth seemed to curl up, as if she was smiling.
Hao Meng only woke up after three hours of sleep.
Her eyes were still red and swollen from crying. After she found herself lying in Ning Shi’s arms, she shook her head like a kitten, as if she was acting coquettishly.
Ning Shi was charmed by her cuteness and wanted to touch her hair, but Hao Meng quickly stood up and stretched lazily.
“Thank you, brother Shitou. Thank you for being honest with me.”
“I’ve been living abroad all these years. I’m really tired and stressed. Every night, I would hypnotize myself to sleep, like a robot.”
“When I leaned on your shoulder just now, I felt an unprecedented sense of security and found the sleep that I had lost for a long time. I slept naturally and peacefully. It was so comfortable.”
From the very beginning, Hao Meng had been very self-abased by her identity as the director of the Heretic Research Institute. She was worried that her identity as the leader of a cult would affect Ning Shi’s life.
Her original plan was to stay by Ning Shi’s side, not necessarily pursuing any results.
However, when Ning Shi said he had a girlfriend, Hao Meng still felt sad and miserable from the bottom of her heart.
This emotion was vented through crying, and it allowed her to relax the tension that had been building up after a long struggle.
So she fell asleep on Ning Shi’s shoulder.
“Brother Shitou, with the earlier discussion, the matter regarding the research room is settled,”
Hao Meng took out a stack of documents from her handbag and handed them to Ning Shi.
“This is what I studied. It’s about the insect’s language. If you’re interested, you can take a look. The insect’s language and behavior are very interesting.”
Although Ning Shi had thought it through and didn’t want to let go of Hao Meng, he didn’t know what to say when he saw Hao Meng return to normal.
After all, he wasn’t born to be a saint of love like His Highness Duan.
Ning Shi took the report and said dryly.
“I’m now very interested in everything about the insects.”
Despite crying in front of Ning Shi, Hao Meng was the one who regained her calm faster and stood up.
“Then I’ll get going. Brother Shitou, your embrace is very warm.”
“Now that you can’t be my lover, it will be my loss to help you build the research lab in school.”
“How about this, I’ll use your embrace as a condition for me to establish the research lab. I want to have the right to hug you at any time in the future.”
Since Hao Meng had said so, Ning Shi’s expression brightened and he spoke with a strong sense of righteousness.
“It doesn’t matter. For the promotion of the stamina potion, for the welfare of the entire school’s teachers and students, and for the improvement of the nation’s strength, I can only offer my body.”
“Teacher Hao Meng, as long as you’re willing to build a laboratory, I can pay you with my body!”
Hao Meng burst out laughing. “That’s a deal!”
Then, she picked up her handbag and walked out of the office.
Looking at the time, it was already past two in the afternoon. The school cafeteria was closed. Ning Shi called his parents and asked where they were.
Only then did he realize that it was Sunday, and both his parents had the day off.
Ning Shi drove home.
He hadn’t been back for a while, and the house was even more chaotic than before.
The living room was filled with all kinds of gifts, white wine, cigarettes, and all kinds of boxes containing dried food.
Ning Shi complained, “Mom, you should hire a caretaker. The cleaning lady, who cleans once a week, isn’t enough for you two.”
“Why are there so many things on the ground? Did your company change to selling cigarettes, wine, and miscellaneous stuff?”
Seeing that her son had returned, Wang Yan, who was watching a short video in her room, came out with a face mask on.
“It’s not easy to hire a caretaker now. Not only is it expensive, but I’m also worried. The current cleaning lady is quite good.”
“Now that the business is not doing well, my small company can’t make any money at all and is about to close down. Now we are relying on your dad’s income.”
“You haven’t even bought your wedding house yet, and we also need to save money for our retirement.”
“Let me tell you, son. Although you’re a principal and a big shot now, you must still be thrifty, understand? By the way, where’s your girlfriend from the blind date last time? Why didn’t you bring her back?”
“You should marry early and have children early. While I’m still young, I can help you…”
Seeing that his mother was about to enter an endless nagging mode again, Ning Shi quickly interrupted.
“Where’s dad? Where did all these gifts come from?”
“Your dad just came back from badminton and is taking a shower.”
“The gifts on the floor were all from others.”
“After you became the principal, there were always people sending gifts to our family. Your dad and I politely rejected those who were unfamiliar with us or had ulterior motives.”
“These are gifts from acquaintances and some government leaders. We can’t refuse them.”
Speaking of this topic, Wang Yan’s face was full of pride.
“As expected of my precious son, you’ve really grown up this time. Do you know that even the leaders of Donglin City came to visit us and asked if we had any needs?”
“Your dad doesn’t have any social connections, and the position of Deputy President is his limit. Thanks to you, he’s about to be transferred to a branch to be a department leader.”
“I’m telling you, there are a bunch of people looking for me every day, recommending girls to me. They all have good looks and family backgrounds, so you have to hurry.”
“If you don’t get along with the girl from the last blind date, inform me earlier.”
“Now that you have a successful career, it’s time for you to get married and have children…”
Realizing the conversation was heading in that direction again, Ning Shi, who had been sitting on the sofa, immediately got up.
“Mom, I’m thirsty. I’m going to get a glass of water.”
Ning Shi poured a glass of water and took two sips, just in time for his father to come out of the shower.
He took out two bottles of the perfect awakening potion from his backpack and said to his parents.
“Dad, mom, these two bottles are the perfect awakening potion awarded to me by the country. After taking them, one will definitely become an awakener. Here, take them. After you become an awakener, your body will become healthier.”
Hearing Ning Shi’s words, his mother’s eyes brightened. She quickly tore off the facial mask and took a bottle of the potion to have a look.
“This is no different from the potion we drank before. Is it really that effective?”
His father, Ning Tao, was much more straightforward. He picked up the potion and said.
“Wang Yan, do you think your son will harm you? The level of connection your son has is different from ours. Now it’s our turn to listen to his commands!”
After saying that, he opened the bottle and drank it.
His mother, Wang Yan, who was not to be outdone, also took the potion.
Not long after, the two of them had flushed faces as if they were drunk.
There were no safety hazards in taking the awakening potion, so Ning Shi did not keep an eye on them. Instead, he returned to his room.
This was because his phone screen had lit up when he had just touched the perfect drug.
[Another reminder: the host can consume a second bottle of the perfect awakening potion and attempt a second awakening.]
Seeing this notification, Ning Shi was excited. He took out a bottle of the perfect awakening potion from his backpack and drank it.
[The host has consumed the second bottle of perfect awakening potion… Insufficient stimulation failed to awaken.]
Not stimulating enough?
Ning Shi took out the last bottle of the perfect awakening potion and drank it.
