Sure enough, at a slightly farther location he found Klein, who was focused on staring at the tablet, working.
And the empty seat beside her was most likely reserved for Mobius.
Seeing this, Van couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Recalling the situation of bumping into Mobius at the hot spring area last night, Van just felt his head ache.
Time went back to last night.
Facing Mobius' questioning, Van tried to explain, "Mobius, this is just a normal hot spring between friends…"
"Oh? So that's how it is?" Hearing this, Mobius smiled even more, "Then since it's a hot spring between friends, there shouldn't be a problem for you to go with me later too, right?"
Van was momentarily speechless, stammering, "Well… I've already soaked for a long time today…"
But before he could finish, Mobius interrupted.
"So what you mean is we're not friends?" Mobius narrowed her eyes, "Or is it that your relationship with Hua actually exceeds friendship? So you're unwilling to go with me?"
Facing Mobius' pressing step by step, Van could only raise both hands in a surrender gesture.
"Okay okay, I'll go with you…"
"Oh~ sounds like little mouse is somewhat reluctant~"
"Not at all! Being able to soak in the hot spring with you, Mobius, is just so great! I've always been looking forward to this moment!"
Although it was already clear Van's words were due to the situation, Mobius still blushed.
Speaking, Mobius pulled Van to the hot spring entrance, and said to the receptionist girl, "We want to use the hot spring."
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Because of Mobius' outstanding appearance and cold, elegant temperament, the receptionist subconsciously glanced several more times, feeling inwardly amazed at how many beauties she encountered today.
Then, after confirming there was still a couple hot spring available, the receptionist asked, "Excuse me guests, would you like the couple hot spring? Though there are only a few minutes left until the end of the couple hot spring discount, as long as you enter before the time ends it's totally fine~"
After speaking, the receptionist smiled at Mobius, then looked at the male companion who came along with her.
However, when her gaze landed on Van's face, her expression clearly stiffened a bit.
'Wait...'
'Isn't this guy the scumbag who was just now two-timing? So the two from before weren't enough, now there's a third one huh?!'
Mobius didn't care at all about the mental storm in the receptionist's head. She calmly nodded.
"Alright, then we'll take the couple hot spring."
Saying that, Mobius casually paid the money, then eagerly pulled Van into the hot spring.
The receptionist watched Van being pulled away by Mobius and fell into thought for a moment.
'Is it that the way I opened today was wrong, or has the world gone crazy?'
'In less than three hours, he came to soak in the couple hot spring with three different girls, and even chose the same hot spring facility each time?!'
Thinking of this, the receptionist suddenly felt that, in a way, this scumbag also didn't have it easy.
If it were her, after soaking in hot springs for three hours, she'd probably be pruney and peeling by now?
At the same time, in the hot spring pool, Mobius lazily leaned against the poolside, her long green hair spreading in the water like lotus tendrils.
Her slender fingers gently skimmed the water's surface, stirring up circles of ripples.
"Little mouse, what are you nervous about?" Mobius suddenly leaned closer and said, "Didn't you say this was just a normal hot spring between friends?"
Feeling Mobius' breath so close, Van instinctively backed away, only to be caught by Mobius in one move.
Looking at Van's slightly embarrassed expression, a sly gleam flashed in Mobius' eyes.
"This won't do, huh? Were you also like this when soaking in the hot spring with that stiff gourd Hua?"
"Mobius, I…"
"Shh~" Mobius suddenly placed her index finger on Van's lips, cutting him off.
"You know? I hate being treated differently the most. Since you can soak with Hua, shouldn't you treat me equally too?"
Saying this, Mobius stretched her leg in the water, and the movement happened to unintentionally brush against Van's calf.
Feeling the tense muscle of his calf, Mobius' smile grew deeper.
Time felt especially long under Mobius' teasing.
Until Van's fingers were all wrinkled from soaking, Mobius finally stood up in satisfaction.
Droplets slid down her perfect curves, glittering under the lights like stars in the sky.
"That's all for today," Mobius leaned in and whispered into Van's ear, "But… as compensation for your lack of honesty, you have to promise me one thing..."
"What thing?" Van asked vigilantly.
Mobius revealed an inexplicable smile and said meaningfully, "I'll tell you when I've decided. But don't worry… it'll definitely be something within your ability and not against your principles..."
Time returned to the present.
Van couldn't help rubbing his temples.
With his understanding of Mobius, that 'request' was definitely not going to be something simple.
Right now he only hoped to safely get through tonight, and not be caught by her on the spot…
Just then, a lazy voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Looking for me, little mouse?"
Van followed the sound and saw Mobius had unknowingly already sat down at a nearby seat, her pink-green eyes full of amusement.
Mobius' arrival immediately triggered the alertness of the surrounding girls.
After all, they knew just how crazy and dangerous this woman in front of them was.
Just as the atmosphere grew delicate, the lights in the venue suddenly went out.
Accompanied by a spotlight, Eden slowly stepped onto the stage.
She wore a black and red long dress, dazzling like a gemstone under starlight.
The moment she began singing, her heavenly voice caused everyone at the scene to hold their breath.
However, Van had no mind to appreciate this beautiful voice.
Because he could feel Mobius' gaze was constantly locked onto him…
But maybe considering the surrounding atmosphere, or perhaps not wanting to let Eden's song go to waste, Mobius after a while shifted her gaze back onto the stage.
Just as Van was about to relax and enjoy Eden's singing, in the next second, his body instantly tensed.
Because under the round table, a smooth foot was teasingly brushing against his calf.
Van instinctively glanced toward Mobius' direction.
She, however, wore an innocent expression, quietly appreciating Eden's heavenly voice.
Yet, the slightly upturned corner of her lips still revealed her mood at the moment.
