Mission in another world with my transformed best friend

Wang Kai thought for a moment, shook his head at first, but then nodded quickly.

"Excuses can be made, but right now I really don't want to..."

After taking a deep breath, Wang Kai clenched his fists, his hands resting on his chest...

"When I came to my senses, I saw your pajamas were torn off, and you were standing there silently, looking at me with a mixture of shame and anger, your eyes filled with wariness... From all of this, I roughly guessed... During the time I lost consciousness, I must have wanted to do something coercive to you. I admit that I've had a few unrealistic thoughts deep down, but this time... After briefly losing consciousness and being controlled by instinct, I really couldn't control my actions. I hope you can forgive me..."

"Oh, I see... So you really can't remember anything..."

"Whether I remember it or not, just now, if you hadn't seized the opportunity to kick me in that groin area... what a pity, oh no, I deserve to die!"

Zhang Lan entered a thinking mode, took a step to the side, and sat back down on the bed.

Wang Kai's half-kneeling "proposal" had to be slightly angled, and during the turn, a phantom pain shot through his groin, almost causing him to lose his balance...

A few minutes later, Zhang Lan seemed to have made a decision. There was no need for Wang Kai to know about what had just happened. Before reaching a conclusion, it would be better not to create any unnecessary complications or trouble.

To be honest, in the less than two days since Wang Kai returned, he has not only caused chaos in the "Alchemy Pavilion" multiple times, but also left behind many hidden dangers and foreshadowings. He is definitely a "troublemaker"...

Little did he know that he himself had an even more powerful "bomb" buried inside him.

Forget it, there are too many problems to solve today and tomorrow, but these are all problems that we are not capable of solving right now, so we can only postpone them until the right conditions and time come.

Soon, under Wang Kai's serious and solemn gaze, Zhang Lan stood up with a look of understanding on her face, walked over, opened the wardrobe, took out a change of pajamas, took a towel and draped the pajamas over herself, and said without turning her head.

"Alright, alright, what's done is done. We can't turn back time, so what's the use of blaming you? As long as there aren't any serious consequences... Today was full of troubles and chaos, and I'm mentally exhausted. It's the middle of the night now, so you should get some rest. Goodnight!"

"what!?"

Wang Kai was stunned. All the courage he'd mustered in his entire life to propose had only resulted in a simple "I forgive you" and a "goodnight goodbye." This was too absurd! Didn't she hear or feel the sincerity in his words? No, no, he couldn't give up halfway!

As Zhang Lan turned and walked to the bedside, she saw Wang Kai still kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but say something.

"What's wrong? I don't need guards at night. Just make sure the doors and windows are closed. If anyone tries to sneak up and break in, the remaining magic will immediately activate the alarm, and the soldiers outside can rush in within a minute..."

"That's not what I meant, Alice...didn't you hear what I just said?"

"Oh, you mean those marriage proposal words? I heard every single one, but I can't give you a reply yet..."

"Why!? Wasn't my sincerity enough?"

"It is indeed not enough..."

"Then... could you give me a hint that my sincerity is lacking?"

Zhang Lan sighed, turned to the side, placed one hand on her waist, looked down at Wang Kai's face, and said.

"Your feelings for 'Alice' are real... but in your proposal just now, not a single word contained 'I love you, I like you' or anything like that. How can I, as a girl, believe your proposal, which doesn't even contain those three basic words..."

Wang Kai was stunned. He carefully recalled what had just been said and realized that there wasn't a single word like "I love you" that directly expressed his feelings. Instead, he approached the topic from other, one-sided perspectives and added various hypothetical metaphors.

Looking back now, I feel so ashamed I want to slap myself twice...

Seeing Wang Kai's "sudden realization" expression, Zhang Lan knew she had been too blunt, and it wouldn't be good if it made him want to "escape from himself" again...

So he walked over, bent down and gently placed a kiss on Wang Kai's forehead, saying with a smile on his face.

"However, this is the first time I've heard you say that you're 'smitten' with me, and that you're the only one who's 'smitten' with me. So, in a sense, what you just did was just a 'confession'... Since it was a confession, I can tell you now. In my heart, you don't dislike me."

Hearing the goddess's words of hope in his despair, Wang Kai looked up, unable to hide his excitement. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. The ups and downs of life were indeed quite thrilling.

"So... we like each other, the kind of liking between a man and a woman?"

"You've been calling me Alice all along, so why should I deny it?"

"Well... I'll definitely prepare a more sincere proposal speech next time."

"Don't rush into proposing and getting married. Right now, you just like each other. What about the process of getting to know each other after confessing? What about dating? How about deepening your relationship? What about discussing the future? What about cars, houses, and money? What about whose surname the children will take? Who will take care of the children? What about which church to choose for the wedding? What level of priest to hire? Who will be the officiant and witness? And how will you notify Kyle and Alice's friends and family to attend? Have you thought about any of these things?"

Wang Kai was taken aback. He couldn't maintain his proposal posture any longer and suddenly stood up, taking a few steps back to steady himself. He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and sighed as he came to his senses.

"Holy crap, you've triggered my 'fear of marriage' again... Fine! I would never have dared to even think about these things before, but now that we're here, we're absolutely capable of handling all the preparations... Alice, you wait for me, I will never give you up to any other man!"

"Okay, I've received your 'declaration of victory,' goodnight!"

"Bye, see you tomorrow!"

Watching Wang Kai excitedly skip out of the room and close the door, Zhang Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. A blush crept up her face again. She turned to the bed and collapsed onto the quilt, covering up the few quiet laughs that escaped her lips.

"Men are boys until they die, and boys eventually have to grow up. To be honest, the pace of growth is a bit too fast. People just casually mention marriage, and frankly, I was quite taken aback..."

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"It's me, Alice. I left that iron rod in your room. Could you come in and get it?"

"Oh, no, come back tomorrow..."

"Ah, why?"

"I've already taken off all my clothes and lay down, I'm so tired..."

"Well... okay, sweet dreams."

As Wang Kai's footsteps faded into the distance once more, Zhang Lan silently picked up the iron rod, hugged it tightly to her chest, lay down on her side, and slowly fell asleep, a peaceful and serene smile on her face.
