Chapter 843: Chapter 46: Risking Everything for Brotherhood (Part 4)
Mo Yuankai felt deeply troubled, and the onlooking Yuliy suggested, “Maybe you could talk about your interests… Technology, machinery, Heart Phase Weapon?”
“What kind of steel-minded approach is that? The girls will 100% hate it!” Gongsun Ce’s mouth twitched.
Yuliy, slightly insecure, replied, “But that’s what I talked about when I went out with Sara… I told her about the evolution of the Silver Light Sword Manual over the past five hundred years and how to handle special cases during patrols for an hour straight.”
“Sorry to interrupt, but how did she react?” Rakael asked.
Yuliy thought back for a mont and, growing more confident, said, “I think we had a great ti talking.”
Gongsun Ce was about to refute him, but then reconsidered, thinking that he was a theorist who had never been in a relationship, so maybe, just maybe, this seemingly ‘straight’ approach might be the really effective way? The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seed. Speaking solemnly, he said, “It’s not a bad way either. Brother, look, since it’s hard for you to cater to her preferences, why not try to showcase your in-depth knowledge in other areas. When you see a motorcycle on the roadside, you can inform her about the brand and paraters; while playing on amusent facilities, you can explain the working principles; during a walk, you can discuss the impact of technological explosions in the past decade on various aspects of society. In this way, all aspects of life fall into your domain, and your scholarly nature as a science and engineering guy looks really reliable at this mont!”
Mo Yuankai nodded repeatedly, “I think it works, I’m familiar with these topics!”
“Give her so handmade gifts too,” suggested Yuliy, “Don’t worry about their appearance, focus on showing your sincerity.”
Rakael leaned against the wall, his expression quite complex, “Gentlen, are you sure you want to do this…”
“No problem at all!” Mo Yuankai flicked his long hair, feeling his confidence return, “I consider myself an excellent gentleman. As long as I do this earnestly, I can definitely win her over! Ah Ce, help design a battle plan when we get back tonight, I won’t repeat my mistakes this ti!”
“Leave it to !” Gongsun Ce patted his chest forcefully, “Once the main idea is established, designing the plan becos simple, with my help, success is guaranteed!”
“Sounds really reassuring.”
A new voice ca from the doorway, and the four young n turned their heads in unison. The old captain stood in the changing room doorway with a gym bag, knocking on the wall in a friendly manner.
“A friendly reminder, gentlen,” Macrow said with a smile, “You’ve been discussing love and life in a public setting for ten minutes already. If this goes on, even the old gentlen will have to join in on the topic.”
The young gentlen awkwardly got up to greet him and then quickly made their exit.

Night soon arrived, and the superpower users clandestinely moved from the headquarters cafeteria back to their residences, eager to wash up after their workouts.
“Date plan… I also need to write a mo for my brother…”
Gongsun Ce mumbled as he erged from the bathroom after his shower, pondering the date location. A place close to the residence and headquarters with a romantic feel would be ideal, preferably in the Inner City District… That amusent park with lots of tourists should be good… Given the limited ti, it’s best to choose so intimate places… Ferris wheel? Feels sowhat cliche. The little boat ride across the river seems nice…
The temperature in the room was just right, and Gongsun Ce didn’t rush to change clothes. He casually wrapped a towel around himself, sat at the desk, and opened the computer. As he used telekinesis to jot down the mo, he racked his brains, digging through his material reserve to see if there were any fresh ideas to be found.
“I rember a book with a confession scene on a small boat… The dialogue wasn’t bad either…”
Gongsun Ce casually opened a folder, searching from mory for the scene he recalled. It was a pure love story with an older woman, and the female protagonist had silver hair, which was his favorite—this must be the one… Sowhere in the later chapters…
“Hmm…” Gongsun Ce flipped through the pages of the explicit manga, the vivid imagery aligning with his mory gave him growing assurance that he was right. “Knock, knock.” A knock on the door; it must be his brother coming for advice. “Co in!” Gongsun Ce put down his pen and excitedly said, “Look at this, don’t you think it’s quite referential—”
“Ce, I want to talk to you about your reading habits…”
The silver-haired woman he secretly admired stood at the door, holding two thick books in her hands. Her gaze swiftly scanned the room, pausing on the computer screen for a second, before resting on Gongsun Ce, who was wearing nothing but a towel.
“…”
“…”
At the mont just after the great battle when he awoke, Gongsun Ce thought he had reached the peak of embarrassnt in his life. He sincerely believed that no matter how tumultuous his life got, nothing would be worse or more humiliating than mistakenly calling his crush’s na ‘Mom’ during a hospital visit.
Now he knew he was wrong. Young people shouldn’t rush to make such judgnts about their lives; we all face challenges and predicants that far surpass the past. In the hospital, he had wanted to fly out the window to escape to the sky, but this ti he sincerely wished he could strangle himself.
Gongsun Ce slowly raised his arm, speaking in a tone of utter despair and plainness, “This situation is not, really, as you imagine it to be.”
“I understand,” Alandia nodded slowly.
“No, you don’t! You have it totally wrong! This manga has nothing to do with you at all!” Gongsun Ce roared, “Don’t laugh! Don’t look at with such gentle, sympathetic, and amused eyes! I told you it’s not as you imagine, don’t go, I’ll organize my words and explain everything!!”
Alandia placed her hand on the doorknob, visibly indecisive, “I think it might be best for to leave for now…”
“You can’t leave! If you leave now, my reputation will be absolutely abysmal!!!”
“But if I remain here, how will you put on clothes?” Alandia pointed out the main issue, “So what you wanted to express is…”
“No, no, no, no, no!!!”
Gongsun Ce banged his head on the table desperately, the sound was so loud that it startled Orianna downstairs, who jumped up: “What’s going on?!”
“Nothing, Mr. Gongsun forgot to wear clothes,” Alandia replied.
“Oh.” Orianna sat back on the sofa, only to jump up again, her face turning as red as a cooked shrimp. “Uh? Uh????”
“Get out!” Gongsun Ce howled in despair, “You get out!!!!”
Alandia set down the books, briskly walking out the door, kindly closing it behind her. Her words sneaked in just as the door clicked shut, “By the way, Ce. I believe whether in the country or the Azure City, you still haven’t reached the legal age for reading adult works.”
“Shut up ahhhhhhhh!!”
Gongsun Ce’s cries penetrated the roof, startling a flock of crows outside, adding a splash of color to the otherwise calm night.
