2778 A Bizarre Brain
Thud! As anticipated, this individual once again found themselves in an uncomfortable embrace with the defensive barrier.
It was evident to all observers that the person's head had taken a beating from its encounter with the defensive boundary, resulting in a noticeable swelling on their forehead.
Clearly, they had exerted a considerable amount of force during their ill-fated collision.
"Is he lacking in wits?" Qi Xuanxuan turned her gaze towards Little Fatty.
The latter nodded in agreement, affirming her question.
Duan Yue, growing increasingly exasperated, twitched his mouth and casually dispelled a portion of the defensive barrier with a wave of his hand.
Crown Prince Mo followed suit, retracting his own defensive barrier.
Ninth Qin, a young individual, was tending to the bump on his forehead in the standard classroom. Just as he was contemplating another reckless charge, he suddenly noticed several figures before him.
He blinked in astonishment and spoke with widened eyes, "Who are all of you? Wait, aren't you Duan Yue from the Duan Clan?"
"I've encountered this individual on Sikong Planet before," Duan Yue replied with indifference, signaling to his companions that he had no familiarity with the newcomer.
/It was truly embarrassing to be associated with such a foolish person…/
"Why all this 'this person' and 'that person'? Who are we, anyway? How can you be so distant? Have you forgotten that we're good friends?" Ninth Qin's youth exclaimed in displeasure. "Duan Yue, have you truly forgotten the memorable two weeks we spent together?"
/Why did those words sound somewhat…/
Everyone turned their attention to Duan Yue, who maintained a composed exterior but was inwardly on the verge of breaking down, with curious expressions.
When he noticed the unusual look from Her Excellency Qiaoqiao, Duan Yue promptly and earnestly clarified his stance. "Qiaoqiao, don't pay heed to his nonsense! I'm not acquainted with him."
"What do you mean, unfamiliar?" Ninth Qin, the youth, grew instantly anxious. "We even shared the same bed!"
Qi Xuanxuan and the others widened their eyes in shock, their gazes now brimming with curiosity as they inspected Duan Yue from head to toe.
Duan Yue felt an inexplicable shiver run down his spine. Why did it seem like everyone was scrutinizing him as if he were involved in something… unconventional?
Crown Prince Mo, appearing utterly disinterested, patted both Duan Yue and Ninth Qin on their shoulders without uttering a word. He then swept Qiaoqiao into his embrace, wearing an expression that seemed to say, "I empathize with your situation." He swiftly distanced her from Duan Yue and Ninth Qin.
"You two are still young, and you will encounter various experiences in the future. However, you must stay true to the path you wish to follow and continue forward," Crown Prince Mo advised them sagely.
Qiao Mu's gaze towards them grew even more peculiar.
"That's not it, Qiaoqiao. Don't pay attention to this rascal Mo Lian's nonsense," Duan Yue scratched his head in frustration.
"Men attracted to men. What's the term for it again?" the young lady whispered to Dao Seeking.
"Interested in men, homosexuality," Crown Prince Mo mumbled under his breath.
"People from the Qin Estate are truly unusual," the young lady bluntly criticized. "From top to bottom, they're either peculiar or plagued by a Viscount with peculiar tendencies."
"It's definitely him pestering Duan Yue. Duan Yue is so pitiful, being targeted by a pervert!"
The young lady hurried over to Duan Yue and patted him firmly. "Don't worry, I'll save you! I absolutely won't let that pervert bother you!"
She understood the torment of being ensnared by a "quilt pervert."
/She was determined not to let her friend make the same mistake as her!/
Mo Lian was utterly bewildered.
/The situation was perplexing!/
/Shouldn't Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao keep her distance from the "homosexually interested" Duan Yue…/
/Why was she approaching him with a reassuring expression now?/
/Why was his perspective so different from everyone else's…/
Duan Yue was equally stunned and remained unresponsive for quite some time.
