Ben10: A Romantic Adventure with a Gender-Swapped Class

However, just as her back foot was about to leave the ground, she suddenly seemed to remember something important, turned her head sharply, her gaze fell on Mo Bai, and she asked.

"By the way, why do you want to become stronger?"

Mo Li's question startled Mo Bai slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Because I want to protect everyone who cares about me."

"That's why I need strength."

Upon hearing Mo Bai's answer, Mo Li's reaction was somewhat unexpected.

Unlike most people, she didn't show surprise. Instead, she quickly walked forward with a faint smile on her face.

Mo Li walked up to Mo Bai, stopped, and looked into Mo Bai's eyes, asking softly.

"Among them, am I?" Her voice was soft and gentle, as if carrying a hint of expectation.

Mo Bai answered without hesitation. He looked at Mo Li with firm eyes and said the simple word "yes," which contained the determination and promise deep in his heart.

A slight blush rose on Mo Li's cheeks, but her expression remained largely unchanged.

She silently turned around, putting her hands behind her back, seemingly trying to hide her inner turmoil.

Mo Li spoke slowly, her tone slightly teasing, "You're still a long way off." Her voice conveyed a relaxed atmosphere, making it seem as if she didn't take Mo Bai's words too seriously.

Then, Mo Li continued, "Protecting me is not an easy thing. You have to be higher than the sky and thicker than the earth." Although her words had a joking element, they also revealed her expectations for Mo Bai.

After saying that, Mo Li walked to the window, raised her head and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

The moonlight shone on her, bathing her in a silvery glow.

Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

In this quiet moment, Mo Li spoke softly in a voice only she could hear.

"You've already done it, you fool."

As she finished speaking, many images seemed to flash through Mo Li's mind—memories from long ago. These memories lingered in her heart, making her feelings somewhat complicated.

In the blink of an eye, Moli leaped out of the window like a light bird.

Her movements were swift and nimble, as if unaffected by gravity, without even a sound when she landed or any other unnecessary noise.

In the blink of an eye, she vanished without a trace, like a ghost.

Mo Bai stared in the direction Mo Li had left, his eyes as firm as a rock, and muttered to himself.

"I will definitely do it!" These words seemed to be his promise to Mo Li, and also a form of encouragement for himself.

However, despite his determination, Mo Bai was still exhausted from studying for a long time.

Before long, his eyelids felt like they were being weighed down by a thousand pounds, and he couldn't lift them no matter what he did. In the end, he couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep.

After all, he had been at the hydroelectric engineering base all day and had no chance to get a proper rest.

Meanwhile, in another room, Ben was lying on his bed with a pained expression on his face, as if he were experiencing a terrible nightmare.

In her dream, Vito Valida—Elena's father—suddenly appeared behind her without warning, his terrifying figure like a huge shadow enveloping her.

Terrified, the little boy instinctively wanted to transform into a powerful Tyrannosaurus Rex to protect himself.

However, to her surprise, the moment she completed her transformation, the once mighty and powerful Tyrannosaurus Rex turned into a small and cute baby dragon, even smaller than a Miniature Human.

This unexpected turn of events left Xiao Ban stunned. She stared wide-eyed at the person in front of her, who was completely different from what she had imagined, and was at a loss for what to do.

Just then, she suddenly woke up from her nightmare, her heart still pounding as if it were about to jump out of her throat.

Xiao Ban steadied himself, looked around, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was back in the real world.

She decided to get up and wash her face to calm herself down and get rid of the fear and anxiety brought on by the nightmare.
