Her cheeks flushed red, and he could no longer rise again. The girl gasped softly, while the boy let out low groans.
The purest form of communication between people, the most direct physical collision, came to an end in Zane's room at this moment…
After the intense and satisfying "exercise," the Doctor slammed the door and left in a huff. As the dull sound of her footsteps gradually faded away, Zane poked his head out from under the blanket.
"To think that I, a tall and mighty man, was actually bullied by just a little girl. If this news gets out, I…"
At that moment, footsteps suddenly appeared at the doorway and grew closer, scaring Zane into shrinking back under the blanket again.
There was no place in the world safer than under the blanket.
After waiting for a long time without hearing anyone come in, the footsteps gradually faded. It was probably just someone passing by.
Zane cautiously poked his head out again and looked around. After confirming that the Doctor had really left, he finally let out a long breath and crawled out from under the blanket.
Right now, his entire body felt like it was falling apart. There wasn't a single place that didn't hurt.
But compared to the physical pain, Zane cared more about the system's gacha.
After all, the Doctor had said so. Maybe at some point, he'd get lucky, and an angel would descend by his side.
And according to her, it seemed to be someone he already knew. Wouldn't that mean he could skip the dating phase and go straight to making her blush?
While thinking about this, Zane absentmindedly reached out and tapped the ten-pull summon.
Then, a flash of golden light...
"Holy crap!?"
Before Zane could even react, a graceful figure suddenly appeared in midair. Then, under the pull of gravity, the figure fell straight down, crashing onto Zane and knocking him back onto the bed.
Warm softness filled his arms. Strands of gray hair fell before his eyes, stirring his thoughts.
At this moment, Zane had no time to think about why every character summoned by the system had to fall from the sky and land on him.
Didn't they know it hurt?
His already battered body from the Doctor's beating felt even worse now.
As compensation, he wouldn't mind more of this.
'As for being pinned down by a girl… I'm attracted to her body. I'm honest.'
On the other side, the sudden impact didn't make the girl feel pain at all. Instead, she lifted her delicate oval face, her light golden eyes examining Zane.
"Bestie!?"
After clearly seeing the person beneath her, the girl's lively eyes instantly burst with brilliant light, the joy in them impossible to suppress.
At the same time, Zane was also observing the girl in his arms.
A slightly oversized coat, mainly black with accents of yellow and white. Underneath it was a loose white inner shirt.
Her long gray hair was casually draped over her shoulders. At first glance, it looked messy, as if it hadn't been cared for in a long time.
But even without much maintenance, that gray hair was still incredibly smooth.
Looking further down, the loose shirt hung casually, revealing just a hint of her shoulders and fully exposing the fair skin around her collarbones.
At the same time, perhaps because of the looseness of the shirt, her chest wasn't overly emphasized, yet still stood firm.
Especially with the way she was pressed against him, Zane could feel two soft mounds against his chest, stirring certain impulses.
On her lower half, her black short skirt had a small slit at the root of her left thigh, just enough to let him catch a glimpse of the blue thigh ring tied there.
How should he put it… this counted as a fine tradition of miHoYo, after all.
Of course, aside from the thigh ring, her long, fair legs shone under the light, smooth and flawless.
If the Rover gave off the feeling of a cute yet cool girl who descended from the sky like a girlfriend, then the girl in front of him felt like a carefree childhood friend who grew up playing together.
"Stelle!?"
Wasn't this girl Stelle, also known as the "Galactic Baseballer," "Little Gray," "Miss Stellaron," and "Your Bro"?
Stelle climbed off Zane and knelt by the side of the bed. Then she closed her eyes and, with utmost devotion, drew a cross over her chest.
"Praise Akivili. In the end, you still didn't die completely."
Not to mention whether praising Akivili required drawing a cross, but the way that sentence sounded, wasn't that more like praising Aha?
Zane gave Stelle a deadpan stare. Although he had expected something like this, he hadn't thought the Galactic Baseballer would appear right after the Doctor…
But thinking about how chaotic this person was, even the joy of pulling gold in a single ten-pull was greatly diminished.
He might as well have gotten a well-behaved Zane instead.
Thinking this, Zane ignored Stelle, who was looking around curiously, and began checking the rewards from this ten-pull.
Aside from one Stelle, he actually got four surgical kits, two medical packs, a bottle of medical alcohol, a roll of bandages, and a blank sheet of paper?
What was this supposed to be for?
Looking at the items listed by the system, Zane couldn't quite understand.
Studying medicine couldn't save the world, but could it save Solaris?
Was this hinting that he should switch careers and study medicine?
Just as Zane was deep in thought, a knock sounded at the door.
"Zane, are you inside? I just heard something fall. Do you know what happened?"
Snapping back to his senses, Zane was just about to answer when the door was pushed open from the outside.
"I'm coming in… hmm?"
Zane looked at Rover, who was frozen at the doorway, and the Doctor standing behind her. Just as he was about to explain the situation, he suddenly felt a soft body press against him.
"Zane, you were so amazing just now~"
'!!!'
'Welp, I'm done for.'
"Well, um… Rover, listen to me. It's not what you think…"
"Zane, who is she? I was clearly here first. You can't just like the new and forget the old."
Zane stared wide-eyed at Stelle acting all cutesy.
'No... why are you putting on such a show!?'
But fortunately, Zane had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that just a few minutes ago, the Doctor had been here. She could definitely prove his innocence…
At this moment, the Doctor was hiding behind Rover, holding a bucket of popcorn that she had no idea where she pulled out from, munching away crunch crunch.
When she noticed Zane looking at her, her little hand grabbing popcorn paused. A trace of hesitation flashed across her cute face.
Just when Zane thought the Doctor had found her conscience and was about to save him from disaster, he saw her give him a thumbs-up.
'Got it, more spectators, fewer helpers…'
'My foot!'
'Can people have a little more warmth between them!?'
Zane cast a lifeless glance at Rover, who stood there with her arms crossed, face dark and silent. He was only one step away from death…
But in the next second, Stelle pulled her fair legs together and drew them back slightly, gently placing her index finger in her mouth and biting it lightly.
"Are you going to bully me again?"
"..."
'Alright, this is completely hopeless now.'
Watching Rover crack her knuckles and step closer bit by bit, Zane finally understood what the system had given him those items for…
Can you hear Zane's wail?
Can you feel bones breaking apart?
Did you notice the sinister smiles on Stelle and the Doctor?
