Chapter 188: Absolute perfection...
Hugo strolled into his dorm room with the kind of grin that could only belong to a man who had just won in life and crushed all opposition.
His steps were light, his mood brighter than the sun, and he felt like he had just unlocked a secret cheat code to happiness.
He flopped onto his bed with a long, satisfied sigh, staring up at the ceiling like a lovestruck fool.
Because honestly? He was the main character. He was the OP MC that was destined for absolute greatness!
There was no other explanation for it.
Was this how a protagonist felt? Was this what it meant to have plot armor? Because everything in his story was going perfectly.
In fact, his story was playing out too perfectly! It had everything—romance, drama, thrill, and excitement!
And tonight? Ohhh, tonight was a chapter straight out of a legendary novel. A novel with a lot of awesome readers that gift castles every single week...
He had just returned from Loli's private dorm. And to say the night had been eventful would be an understatement.
A huge, fat understatement. Just like Loli's huge, fat butt.
Hugo's grin widened as his mind instantly replayed the highlight of the night.
The kiss.
A full blown, passionate, spine tingling, heart thumping, brain numbing KISS.
Thinking back, it had been a risk. A dangerous one. The kind of risk that could either lead to sweet victory or utter humiliation and another glass of milk to the face.
It was a bold risk, a dangerous gamble. But come on! The girl had been sitting on his lap for hours!
They had gotten closer, she was all warm and soft against him, and the atmosphere had been just right! Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
After everything—after the way she had clung to him all evening, after how she had practically melted into his lap, after how the tension had been so thick he could barely breathe—he had to go for it.
He would have failed his mentor Sanchez if he hadn't. So he went ahead and did it. But for a terrifying moment, he thought he had f*cked up. He thought he had completely screwed up.
Because as soon as his lips touched hers… she froze.
Not just a normal freeze.
A complete, statue like, system crashing freeze.
He had panicked instantly.
'Oh no… oh no, oh no, oh no.'
His brain had gone into damage control mode. Should he apologize? Should he laugh it off? Should he just jump out the window and start a new life in another country?!
But before he could escape, something magical happened.
She kissed him back.
And not just any kiss—a deep, eager, knee-weakening kiss!
Hugo shivered at the memory.
The way she had wrapped her arms around his neck, the way she had tilted her head, the way her breath had hitched when he deepened the kiss—
Perfection. Absolute perfection.
He hadn't pushed it any further—after all, he was a gentleman. But the fact that she had kissed him back with that much passion?
Oh, there was hope.
And that date on Saturday? Ohh, he was going to make it count. He would do his absolute best to reach a lot more bases that night.
Still grinning like an idiot, Hugo grabbed his phone and checked his messages.
—
Lisa: I'll be back in town soon, babe! Can't wait to meet up~
—
Hugo chuckled. His heart felt warm with even more love. No matter how promiscuous he became in the future, Lisa would always be his number one. His first for ever.
She's back, huh? That was great news! He had missed her greatly!
He quickly typed a reply.
—
Hugo: Sounds great! Let's catch up soon.
—
Before he could put his phone down, another notification popped up.
—
Lily: I miss you, dummy. But I have an intense training session tomorrow, so I gotta sleep early.
—
Hugo pouted dramatically.
Volleyball…
This sport is stealing my potential woman away!
He let out a deep sigh.
Between training, tournaments, and practice sessions, it was like volleyball had become her boyfriend.
Meanwhile, Hugo? He was just the side character watching from the sidelines. What's worse was that when they finally had some time to spend together and deepen things, there was still the evil little menace!
"If this keeps up, I might have to fight volleyball itself," he muttered.
Still, he sent a sweet reply and wished her luck before tossing his phone aside and hopping into the shower.
As the warm water cascaded down his body, Hugo let out another long sigh, this time of pure contentment.
Tomorrow was going to be fun.
It was the first official meeting for their class project, and he was excited.
New team. New dynamics. New, sexy, sultry smiling targets. New opportunities to flirt.
But then—
A horrifying realization struck him.
Like a bolt of lightning.
Like a meteor crashing into Earth.
Like a final boss appearing out of nowhere.
Loli… would also be there!
Hugo froze.
His hand, still covered in shampoo, stopped mid lather.
Wait… wait, wait, wait…
'How the hell am I supposed to flirt with the other girls if Loli is around?!'
Panic.
Absolute panic.
Hugo stared at the shower wall, his thoughts spiraling into chaos.
Would she glare at him if he flirted?
Would she kick him under the table?
Would she expose his entire game plan?!
This was bad. This was really bad.
He rinsed off in record time, threw on some clothes, and stared at his reflection in the mirror, eyes dead serious.
Tomorrow…
Would be a battle of survival.
And Hugo?
Hugo was absolutely NOT ready.
