When the GF9 Test Subject Became His Obsession novel Chapter 161

Serena finished her shaved ice, tossed the cup into the trash, and spoke calmly. "You all take your time eating. The food in Evervale City is pretty good, especially the sweet and sour spare ribs from this place."

"Yes!"

The reply came in unison. Sean looked at Jackson, Jackson looked at Sean. Only then did they realize that all their respect was directed toward Serena, and the atmosphere suddenly carried the taste of two consorts vying for favor in the same harem.

Thanos gave her a sideways glance and poked his sister’s back. "They’re being polite, and you really think you’re some big deal? We ought to be humble!"

Serena said nothing. She just gave the two men a small nod and went upstairs first.

Thanos covered his face. His sister was hopeless.

The Building B slackers felt it was their duty to protect Serena’s pride and to follow her lead, so they trailed upstairs after her.

"You First High students really do think highly of yourselves," Quinton said mockingly. Everyone knew Sean and Jackson were famous for loving talent. They must have mistaken Serena for a genius, the city’s top student. Otherwise they would never treat her this way. Today, he was determined to rip her mask off!

Just wait.

The vice principal’s face was stiff. He had gone himself to secure the private room, and anyone with sense should have yielded it without complaint. Instead, not only had he failed, but the two great men now thought he was abusing his position.

He would find an opportunity to discipline these useless kids!

At that moment, Zayden entered with Sebastian. Their eyes swept across the hall with casual disinterest, yet the vice principal inexplicably shivered.

Even Jackson, who had been sitting up straight, bent slightly at the spine.

The two of them were only passing through, nothing more than a glance. But for that instant, the entire hall fell silent, the air frozen solid.

Only after they went upstairs did the tension lift. That was when Quinton realized something important.

Zayden was the school doctor, a man Hayes Corp had assigned to First High. Jackson, on the other hand, was the head of a Hayes Corp lab. Their positions were worlds apart.

If the school infirmary had been built for the three students who had qualified for Hayes Corp, then logically, Zayden should be deferential to Jackson, who was one of the examiners. Yet from start to finish, Zayden hadn’t greeted him once.

Even Quinton wasn’t too dense to sense that something was off.

Upstairs, Building B’s slackers filled their private room. Many dishes were served, but not Serena’s favorite, sweet and sour spare ribs. That was when her phone buzzed with a picture from Sebastian—an entire table full of sweet and sour dishes.

Serena rose quietly. "You all go ahead and eat. I’m going to the bathroom."

And with that, she abandoned her comrades without a second thought.

She knocked on Sebastian’s door. The man had already set out an extra plate. His tone was even. "You’re here."

"Mm."

The girl blinked. What’s that supposed to mean? Since when did I need you to accompany me?

Couples?
