# Chapter 356: Happily Acquired a Tailgater
The Secretary-General gently tapped the table.
"Nightingale! Go on over!"
The back door pushed open, and a person walked in wearing a form-fitting black suit, white shirt, and black tie.
Tall and slender, about the same height as Jiangnan.
Extremely slim, giving off a clean and sharp impression.
A ponytail tied at the nape of the neck, her face covered by a smiling mask, completely concealed.
Two short knives were tucked at her lower back, quite eye-catching.
Without a word, she walked straight over and stood beside Jiangnan.
Mountain Cat and Red Dragon were both shocked, because this Nightingale's rank had actually reached the terrifying Diamond level!
The Secretary-General smiled. "So? Are you satisfied with this wife?"
Jiangnan: ???
"Secretary-General! You sure know how to joke. This is clearly a guy, alright? Wife?"
As he spoke, he reached out and patted Nightingale's chest, making two loud "smack! smack!" sounds.
"See! Nothing there! You're trying to fool me like I'm an idiot!"
"Oh? Pretty mysterious? His pecs aren't even that well-trained. As skinny as a bamboo pole..."
Nightingale stared blankly at Jiangnan's hand poking her chest, completely dumbfounded.
[Nightingale Grudge Value +1000!]
[Nightingale Grudge Value +1000!]
[Nightingale...]
In just three seconds! She managed to give Jiangnan 10,000 grudge value points!
Even the Secretary-General was frozen in place for a moment, then burst out laughing. "I'm not fooling you! Nightingale really is a girl!"
Jiangnan pouted. "I don't believe it!"
Bullshit!
A girl who couldn't hide something in her chest wouldn't even qualify as a girl, alright?
There wasn't a single curve on Nightingale's shirt, okay?
Trying to brush me off!
In the end, I still got nothing but emptiness!
Nightingale's eyes were practically spitting fire. "Secretary-General! Can I chop this guy to death?"
A voice as pleasant as an orchid in a secluded valley rang out!
Jiangnan was stunned. "Whoa? Must be a voice changer, right?"
"Let me see where you hid it! Oh right! Just like Conan, your tie must be the voice changer, right!"
[Nightingale Grudge Value +1000!]
[Nightingale...]
Aaaaaagh!
Why does the person I'm supposed to protect have to be like this!
All my fantasies are completely shattered, okay?
The Secretary-General chuckled. "No more jokes. Nightingale will be responsible for your safety during this period."
"Your performance has been too outstanding, and it's already caught the attention of many people. Too many people want you dead."
"Nightingale will stay by your side for now. To prevent something like Dracula from happening again, protection is necessary."
Jiangnan looked like he was about to cry. "Can we not do this, please?"
This isn't some little wife!
This is clearly a tailgater!
And a crossdressing tailgater at that!
The Secretary-General: "No can do. You asked for this yourself."
"Don't leave Jiangcheng until the Pioneer Academy notice comes down."
Jiangnan's face fell. Great, now even his movements were restricted.
But thinking about it, it made sense. What if he ran into someone like the Magician again who wanted to mess with him?
He couldn't exactly squat on his Vendor Cloth 24 hours a day!
"Fine! By the way, you guys keep mentioning the Pioneer Academy. What is that? A university?"
The Secretary-General smiled. "Just think of it as a university. You'll know when you get there."
Jiangnan: ...
Looking back on the All-Star Tournament, all he got besides a crossdressing tailgater was... nothing substantial at all!
What a crappy competition! I'm never participating again!
Hmph!
"Go to the commendation ceremony. You set a good example for everyone. You deserve it."
"Here's my number. Contact me directly if anything comes up."
"Any more questions?"
Jiangnan was full of curiosity. "Um... can I ask? Is the eye above the Secretary-General nearsighted?"
"If it is, does it need glasses too? Doesn't it get tired staying open that long without blinking?"
"When you cry, does that eye cry along with you? And in the morning, does it have eye boogers too..."
Secretary-General: ???
[Yang Jian Grudge Value +1000!]
What kind of weird questions are these?
And eye boogers?
Where do you get all these random thoughts?
Nightingale stared blankly at Jiangnan. This person is definitely not right!
Mountain Cat and Red Dragon beside him were completely dumbfounded.
You actually dare to ask that!
But they both pricked up their ears. Gotta say, they were a little curious too.
A long silence fell over the office.
No one spoke.
Three minutes later...
Secretary-General: "..."
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
[Yang Jian Grudge Value +1000!]
Don't you have any sense of timing?
Don't tell me you're actually waiting for me to answer!
Fine! Not nearsighted! It gets dry! It cries along with me! It has eye boogers!
Satisfied?
Jiangnan gave an awkward smile. "Then... then we'll be going now!"
The group exited the office.
Nightingale followed closely behind Jiangnan, never more than a step away.
The commendation ceremony was almost ready, to be held at the Que Ling Gymnasium.
Zhong Yingxue and the others were already there.
Just waiting for Jiangnan and the rest to arrive.
"I'm going to the bathroom. Wait for me!"
With that, Jiangnan teleported away in an instant. A few teleports later, he arrived at the restroom entrance.
He turned around and found Nightingale still following behind him.
He was completely shocked. "No... not! How did you keep up?"
I teleported four times!
Nightingale: "I walked."
Jiangnan: ???
You must be joking, right?
I teleported here in less than a second, and you walked?
What kind of ability does Nightingale have, to keep up with teleportation speed?
Are Diamond ranks all this impressive?
"You're following me even to the bathroom?"
Nightingale gave Jiangnan a cold glance. "I'm going to the bathroom too."
With that, she headed toward the women's restroom.
Jiangnan grabbed her. "Hey hey hey! Where are you going!"
Nightingale was confused. "I'm going to the bathroom! What's wrong?"
Jiangnan pointed at Nightingale, then at the pink skirt emblem on the women's restroom door.
"Yeah! What's wrong?"
Jiangnan's eyes widened. "What do you mean, 'what's wrong'? Even if you're a Diamond rank, you can't do something like this!"
Nightingale: ???
Something like what?
What does Diamond rank have to do with it? Can't Diamonds use the bathroom?
"I do this every day!"
Jiangnan was shocked. "Every day? Do you have any moral bottom line at all?"
"I don't care what you did before! Starting today, you can't go in here anymore, got it?"
"Shameless! I'm a Space System and I've never done that!"
Nightingale was dazed. "Shameless? What's there to be shameless about? If I don't go here, where do I go?"
Jiangnan pointed at the pipe emblem on the men's restroom. "Starting today! Use the bathroom here, got it?"
Nightingale: "Huh?"
"A grown man, sneaking into the women's restroom every day to peek at girls. What kind of behavior is that?"
Nightingale: !!!
Who's a grown man?
You're the grown man! Your whole family are grown men!
[Nightingale Grudge Value +1000!]
"Jiangnan! I..."
"You what you? Hurry up! We're waiting outside!"
With that, he grabbed Nightingale's tie and dragged her into the men's restroom!
[Nightingale Grudge Value +1000!]
[Nightingale...]
Jiangnan unbuttoned his pants and pulled down the zipper.
Nightingale's shoulders began to tremble, her grudge value skyrocketing.
"What are you looking at? Pee?"
Nightingale: !!!
"I... I don't need to go anymore!"
With that, she strode outside.
Master! Save me!
The person I'm supposed to protect... he's not normal!
"Shy? Can't go with someone watching?"
"What's there to be shy about? We're bros now!"
"Later when we get back to Jiangcheng, big bro will take you for the full package—steam bath, scrub, massage, the whole deal!"
Nightingale: (▼ヘ▼#)
Who the hell is your bro!
Aaaaaagh!
A full package?
If it weren't for the mission, I'd chop you to death first thing!
[Nightingale Grudge Value +1000!]
[Nightingale...]
Hehe, thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! Qingfeng is really happy! Can't reply to everyone due to time constraints! Still have one more chapter to write, time to grind it out!
