I'm a senior in high school, and the Emperor Development System has arrived!

Chapter 140 Your Majesty, please dismantle the Xia Mi Alliance immediately.

The living room fell completely silent, with only the background noise from the TV show playing.

The sound was so loud that it made people even more uncomfortable.

Jiang Xia's gaze shifted back and forth between Lin Xiaomeng and Chen Zhou, while Lu Mi also stared at the two of them.

Lin Xiaomeng felt her face burning hot. She lowered her head and pretended to be engrossed in looking at the open math workbook.

"Homework writing service?"

Jiang Xia repeated himself, his voice sounding perfectly normal, but Chen Zhou sensed something else in it:
"Lin, how much does this cost?"

Lin Xiaomeng was taken aback by the question. She looked up, a blush rising on her face, and stammered as she answered:
"Huh? How much does it cost?"

This question hit her where it hurt: how did she know how much to charge?

Seeing Lin Xiaomeng in an awkward situation, Chen Zhou had no choice but to say:
"The class representative's fees are very reasonable: five yuan for math, three yuan for English, and twenty yuan for politics, history, and geography combined. Right, class representative?"

He quickly revealed the price he had just made up, while frantically trying to wink at Lin Xiaomeng.

Lin Xiaomeng received the signal and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes! That's the price!"

Jiang Xia said "Oh," nodded, and remained expressionless.

She didn't press the matter of payment further, but instead smiled and said:
"That's quite a good deal. Shall we do our homework together? I haven't even started mine yet."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaomeng immediately tensed up, somewhat confused about Jiang Xia's tactics.

She was just someone who did homework for others, and she didn't want to get involved in this cruel battle!

However, Lin Xiaomeng glanced at Chen Zhou's expression and, seeing that he had no intention of letting her leave, sighed and said:
"well!"

At this moment, all she could do was finish her homework quickly and escape this ominous place.

Chen Zhou looked at the scene and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

If I had known Jiang Xia was coming, I wouldn't have asked Lin Xiaomeng to come.

Since Jiang Xia had already said that, Chen Zhou had no choice but to sit down with her, then took out his history homework and began to write.

Looking at the thick stack of homework, he sighed:
That wretched homework, it stole his night without him even realizing it.

Jiang Xia and Lu Mi sat together, discussing the issues while their eyes kept meeting.

Having realized this, Chen Zhou threw out a "Seeing Through Everything" skill:
[Lu Mi: Senior, what do you think of this?]

[Jiang Xia: Something's not right, something's extremely wrong!]

[Lu Mi: Oh? What do you mean?]

[Jiang Xia: Putting aside the fact that a girl would come to a classmate's house to do homework in the middle of the night, Lin Xiaomeng seems a bit afraid of Chen Zhou, which is very abnormal.]

[Lu Mi: Thinking... It's true, Senior Yan is right!]

【…】

Chen Zhou: ...

With such excellent reasoning skills, Jiang Xia might as well become a famous detective in Xiao Ri Zi.

Sure enough, even the most naive girl's sixth sense is more accurate than ever when it comes to emotional issues.

Under this torture, Lin Xiaomeng finally couldn't take it anymore and took out her phone to send a message to Chen Zhou:
"I'm shivering. Can I take this homework home to do?"

Chen Zhou thought for a moment and nodded slightly:
"Prelude!"

After receiving permission, Lin Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief and said to the three of them:
"Well... it's getting late, and I definitely won't be able to finish all this homework. I'll take it home to finish it and bring it back tomorrow!"

After saying that, Lin Xiaomeng fled the chaotic scene without looking back.

Even after she arrived at her apartment building, recalling the atmosphere from just moments before, she still felt lingering fear.

It's so good! It's absolutely amazing!
but……

Lin Xiaomeng couldn't help but feel envious when she recalled the scene of Chen Zhou being surrounded by two beautiful girls.

To be liked by such a cute girl, Chen Zhou must have saved the world in his past life, right?
Such a beautiful girl—

I, Lin Xiaomeng, want one too!

……

Fortunately, Chen Zhou was unaware of Lin Xiaomeng's thoughts; otherwise, considering Fei Lingling's affection for her, he would certainly have commented.

After Lin Xiaomeng left, Chen Zhou also planned to return to his room to avoid an awkward situation.

However, before entering the room, he still asked as usual:
"Lao Xia, where are you sleeping tonight?"

With just one simple sentence, the Xia Mi Alliance crumbled instantly.

Jiang Xia looked at Lu Mi, who had lowered her head in embarrassment, and snorted:
"I'll definitely still sleep with you, otherwise the junior will definitely sneak into your bed."

Chen Zhou looked at the two of them and chuckled:
"Where you sleep is your own business, but I'm warning you beforehand: if you come to my bed again tonight, I won't be as well-behaved as I was last time!"

As soon as they finished speaking, their faces flushed instantly as they recalled the details of their time with Chen Zhou over the past two days.

Jiang Xia turned his head slightly:
"He really is a bad guy!"

Lu Mi looked disgusted.
"He really is a big pervert!"

Chen Zhou chuckled and said:
"Say what you will, I'm going back to sleep."

After saying that, he walked towards the room.

Seeing this, the two behind them chattered and discussed for a long time, and finally decided—

Proceed as planned!

late at night.

Moonlight streamed into the room, casting two furtive shadows.

Chen Zhou pretended to be asleep with his eyes closed, but he could clearly feel two thieving kittens moving towards the bedside, one on the left and one on the right.

A corner of the blanket was lifted, and a body with a slightly cool scent pressed against her.

On the left is Lu Mi, whose breath gently brushes against his neck, carrying a faint scent of shampoo.

On the right is Jiang Xia, whose movements are more natural, her knee inadvertently brushing against his leg.

Chen Zhou chuckled; these two really didn't take his warning seriously.

If we don't punish them tonight, we really won't be able to tell the difference between the king and queen.

He deliberately rolled over, and felt the people on both sides freeze instantly, even their breathing became softer.

However, having learned from their previous experience, the two were even bolder this time.

Chen Zhou shook his head slightly.

It seems that this tactic has lost its effectiveness against them.

So he opened his eyes, and by the moonlight streaming in through the window, he met two shy, pretty faces.

Chen Zhou's voice was hoarse from just waking up, yet it carried a hint of mockery:
"I'm telling you, if you come up here again, you won't behave yourself."

Lu Mi blushed and stammered, unable to speak.

Jiang Xia cleared his throat, trying to appear calm:

What else would you dare to do?

Chen Zhou raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping between the two of them:
"I wouldn't call myself a beast, I just wanted to play a game."

Both of them were stunned.

Lu Mi asked in a low voice:
"what game?"

Chen Zhou smiled and said slowly:
"It's simple, whoever takes off their shirt first, I'll sleep with them tonight."

The room fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear each other's heartbeats. Lu Mi's eyes widened as if she'd heard something unbelievable; she instinctively clutched her collar, her ears burning red.
"Senior, what do you take me and my senior for? How could we possibly be..."

She was both ashamed and anxious, and her voice trembled slightly.

But before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xia, who was standing next to her, moved.

Jiang Xia didn't speak, but slowly raised her hand, hooked her fingertips around the collar of her pajamas, and gently unbuttoned one button.

Then slowly, the cotton fabric slid down her shoulders, revealing her beautifully shaped collarbone, which shimmered delicately in the moonlight.

Her movements were unhurried, even somewhat nonchalant, as if she were doing something perfectly ordinary.

Lu Mi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, her mouth slightly agape, completely forgetting to react.

Jiang Xia took off her shirt and tossed it to the foot of the bed. Then she turned to the side, reached out and wrapped her arms around Chen Zhou's waist, pressing her cheek against his chest, her voice carrying a lazy laugh:

"I'm all better now, go hug me and sleep!"

Meanwhile, Lu Mi, who was standing next to him, finally snapped out of her shock.

She glanced at Chen Zhou, then at Jiang Xia, her eyes practically spitting fire.

She bit her lip, both angry and anxious, but unsure of what to say, and could only bury her face in the pillow in frustration.

If she had known her senior would be so proactive, she would have taken the initiative first.

However, Lu Mi still found it a little hard to accept taking off her shirt in front of Chen Zhou.

Although Chen Zhou had already witnessed the spring scenery in her room just now.

But that was just an accident; Lu Mi wasn't that bold.

But seeing Chen Zhou take the initiative to put his arm around Jiang Xia, she couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Lu Mi rocked Chen Zhou, her voice slightly nasal:
"That's not fair! I haven't even realized it yet!"

Chen Zhou lazily turned around and said:
"The rules were agreed upon, so what's unfair about it? Good luck tomorrow night, junior!"

Lu Mi gritted her teeth:
"I don't want to wait until tomorrow! I want what my senior has too!"

Chen Zhou shook his head:
"I'm a very principled person."

Lu Mi was silent for a moment, then snorted:
"Since my senior won't hug me, then I'll just have to hug him!"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and ripped open the ties of her pajamas.

The loose fabric slid down her shoulders, revealing an inner layer printed with small strawberries, and her fair neck blushed slightly in the moonlight.

"Senior, I'm here too..."

Then, Lu Mi's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but it carried an undeniable stubbornness. After speaking, she leaned to Chen Zhou's other side and carefully put her arm around his waist.

Chen Zhou felt warm touches on both sides, and two different fragrances lingered around his nose, leaving him feeling both amused and exasperated.

These two girls really don't want to suffer any loss.

He was about to say something when Jiang Xia preemptively pinched his waist lightly with her fingers:
"I think you did it on purpose, you're corrupting all the female students."

Lu Mi immediately retorted, not to be outdone:
"It was clearly the senior who broke the rule first!"

As she spoke, she mimicked Jiang Xia's actions and pinched his other waist.

Chen Zhou felt ticklish from the two of them and couldn't help but chuckle softly, then said:
"Alright, alright, I give up, one on each side, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, both arms tightened around him.

Lu Mi, like a lazy cat, adjusted her position, rubbed her cheek against his neck, found the most comfortable spot, and sighed contentedly.
"The older student is still the best."

Warm breath brushed against my skin, carrying a faint, sweet fragrance.

Jiang Xia, not to be outdone, though her cheeks were burning hot, still tried to get even closer, her slender arms tightly wrapped around his waist, and she muttered softly:
"You said I'd go first, why are you being so biased?"

Chen Zhou felt like a cushion sandwiched between two small beasts, unable to move.

A soft touch and different fragrances surrounded him from both sides.

The sound of his heartbeat was clearly audible in the quiet night; it was unclear whether it was his own or that of the two girls clinging to him.

But it must be said, they are living a truly wonderful life.

As the moonlight gradually slanted westward, the breathing sounds in the room slowly became even.

Chen Zhou, however, was wide awake. To his left was Lu Mi's warm breath, sweet and refreshing like a young girl's, and to his right was the ticklish sensation of Jiang Xia's hair brushing against his neck, mixed with a faint woody scent.

He was like someone wrapped in a soft cocoon, afraid that even the slightest movement would disturb this delicate balance.

"Well……"

Lu Mi suddenly murmured something, her arms unconsciously tightening, and she almost pressed herself against him.

Chen Zhou could clearly feel her slender shoulders and rapid heartbeat, like a frightened little animal seeking shelter.

Jiang Xia, who was standing next to him, seemed to be startled; her eyelashes trembled, but she didn't open her eyes.

But she gently moved closer to Chen Zhou, her knee brushing against his leg again, as if asserting her dominance.

Chen Zhou was both amused and exasperated. Were these two even competing in their sleep?
He tried to adjust his posture to make everyone more comfortable, but as soon as he moved, Lu Mi suddenly opened his eyes and asked groggily:

"Senior, are you running away?"

"Didn't run away."

Chen Zhou lowered his voice:
"Change your position."

Jiang Xia also woke up and glared at him in the moonlight:

"be honest."

Chen Zhou had no choice but to lie back down, feeling his breathing gradually become more even, but he became increasingly awake.

How could he possibly sleep at a time like this?
How could I possibly fall asleep?
Chen Zhou's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

He first tentatively moved slightly towards Jiangxia, his fingertips lightly touching her waist.

Jiangxia didn't move, and his breathing remained even.

His hand slowly moved upwards, passing over the warm skin.

Jiang Xia's eyelashes trembled suddenly, but she didn't open her eyes. Her breathing was a beat off, and her ears turned a deeper red in the moonlight.

Chen Zhou's heart raced instantly. Just as he was about to pull his hand back, she gently pressed his wrist down from under the covers, the pressure so light it seemed like tacit consent.

Just as he was getting distracted, Lu Mi on his left suddenly let out a soft whimper and nuzzled her head into his arms.

Chen Zhou subconsciously turned his head and met her half-open eyes, which were misty and hazy with the confusion of just waking up.

Lu Mi moved her body awkwardly, but did not fully wake up.

Chen Zhou held the two girls in his arms and sighed contentedly.

My life can be considered complete.

With that thought in mind, he slowly closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

But not long after.

Two pairs of eyes slowly opened in the darkness, then looked at each other in the moonlight and smiled faintly.

The plan goes through!
However, at that moment, the system, which had not appeared for a long time, popped up several messages:
[Your Majesty, it's urgent—]

[The Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult conspires with Consort Jiang to manipulate the harem. How can such behavior be tolerated on the Emperor's sleeping throne?]

We humbly beseech Your Majesty to swiftly dismantle the Xia Mi Alliance and restore order to the harem!

[Reward: 1000 Imperial Prestige]
