Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Ripple Effects — Echoes of Desire

Shen Yuo woke up to the soft chime of a System alert. His vision sharpened as lines of text scrolled across the edge of his sight like a HUD display. It was still early morning, the light filtering through the blinds in soft gray slats.

Shen sat up immediately.

"System, what's the breakdown on Tenjo?" he whispered.

Shen exhaled slowly, heart pounding.

"Fuck… he's onto something."

A notification flared in red.

[Emergency Recommendation: Enable Cloak Mode for 48 hours — Restricts System Upload Visibility & Anonymizes Metadata]

"Do it."

[Cloak Mode: ENGAGED]

As the digital interface dimmed, Shen rubbed his temples. Things were spiraling faster than he'd expected. The System's upgrades had brought with them increased power—and increased risk.

But he didn't have time to panic. He had class in less than an hour, and more importantly… Yue Hatake had left a message on his phone.

> "Meet me at Lecture Hall B… after class. Alone."

She hadn't elaborated.

Still shirtless, Shen padded to the bathroom. Steam still clung to the mirror from Itajhi's shower. As he reached for his toothbrush, his phone buzzed again.

Scene Shift: Lecture Hall B – Early Evening

The hall was quiet, lights low, a soft hum from the overhead projectors. Shen entered through the side door, heart thudding with anticipation. The last time he and Yue had crossed that line, it had been a collision of restraint and release.

Now the air between them was charged.

Yue stood by the podium, arms folded. Her pencil skirt hugged her hips tightly, paired with a maroon silk blouse buttoned almost to the collar. She turned as she heard his footsteps.

"You came," she said quietly.

"Of course."

Her eyes narrowed slightly. "There's something I need to ask. And I want the truth."

Shen felt a flare of tension. "What is it?"

"You've changed," she said, stepping closer. "In class. Around campus. You walk differently. You… affect people differently."

He didn't answer.

Yue stepped closer, now inches away. "It's like you turned into someone else."

[System Prompt: Activate 'Tension Breaker' Sequence? — Engages flirty, dominant approach tailored for high-intelligence targets.]

"Activate it," Shen murmured mentally.

He smiled, slow and confident. "Maybe I just stopped pretending to be what others expected."

Yue's eyes flickered with something between suspicion and intrigue. "Is that what happened? Or did you… get help?"

"Does it matter?" he whispered, brushing a hand against her wrist.

She didn't pull away.

"Shen…" Her voice softened. "If I asked you to kiss me right now, would you?"

"I wouldn't wait for permission," he growled.

And he didn't. Their lips collided, not gently, but with all the pent-up tension of whispered thoughts and barely restrained lust. Yue gasped into the kiss, arms looping around his neck as Shen pressed her against the podium.

[Recording Enabled — Low Light Mode Active]

He hoisted her onto the edge, parting her legs as his hands slid up her thighs. Her skirt rode up easily, revealing black lace. Shen groaned.

"You planned this."

"I prepared… for the possibility."

His fingers found her heat. She was soaked. Yue shuddered, her breath hitching.

"Then let's make this a lesson you won't forget."

Yue Hatake's legs trembled slightly as Shen slid her further onto the podium. Her breath came in shallow, urgent bursts, her fingers gripping the wood behind her for support. The lecture hall was empty—officially. But the knowledge that anyone could walk in at any time gave her skin a flush of dangerous color.

Shen's fingers moved in teasing circles, dipping between her thighs, each stroke eliciting a gasp. He watched her intently, noting how her body arched at just the right moment, her moans soft but needy.

[System Analysis: Target Heart Rate 160 BPM. Orgasm Threshold: 74%. Building Stimulation Recommended.]

He lowered his head, brushing his lips along her inner thigh before flicking his tongue against the lace, making her jolt.

"Shen," she whispered, "someone could—ah!—come in…"

"Let them," he said, lips curling. "Let them see how beautiful you are like this."

He dragged the panties aside and dove in.

Yue's gasp turned into a cry, her hips bucking as his tongue found her clit, flicking and circling with the precision of the System-enhanced focus mode. She whimpered, biting her knuckle to stifle the noise, her thighs clamping around his head.

[Recording: 4K Low-Light Auto Angle Adjustment Enabled. View Count: 302 Live Viewers via Fan Leak.]

She didn't even know. But Shen did. The Fan Economy (Beta) had just activated an auto-stream mode—stealth-mode enabled. Subscribers were watching anonymously. A small red icon blinked in his peripheral HUD, marking thousands of tokens being accumulated in real-time.

He intensified his movements, hands locking on Yue's hips, sucking her clit just the way her System-flagged pleasure zones preferred.

She shattered.

Her body convulsed in a silent scream, trembling on the podium. Shen stood, licking his lips and smirking.

"Again?" he asked, already undoing his belt.

Yue looked dazed, wrecked, but hungry. "Yes. Just… hurry."

He flipped her gently onto her stomach, lifting her hips and tugging the skirt further up to reveal her flushed ass. A soft slap made her shudder. Her breath fogged the podium surface as she braced herself.

Shen entered her slowly.

She cried out, his length stretching her inch by inch. Her body clenched around him, dripping and twitching.

"God, Shen… yes…"

His hands gripped her waist, establishing rhythm, his hips slapping against her firm curves. The lecture hall echoed with each wet thrust, her moans harmonizing with the sounds of skin against skin.

[Fan Economy Boost: 12,543 Tokens Accumulated — Active Viewer Count: 527]

[Bonus Objective Unlocked: Public Risk + Peak Orgasm Footage]

Shen leaned forward, pressing her chest to the podium as he bit her shoulder gently.

"Say it," he growled. "Say who's making you feel this good."

"You!" Yue cried out. "You—only you!"

He angled upward slightly, grazing the soft spot the System highlighted in pulsing red.

She shattered again.

Her second orgasm ripped through her, legs giving out as she collapsed against the podium. Shen grunted, thrusting harder, faster, her body writhing beneath him.

With a final deep push, he spilled inside her, growling low into her ear.

They both remained there for a long moment, panting, shivering in the aftermath.

Later That Night — Dorm Rooftop

Shen leaned against the railing, shirt unbuttoned, letting the night wind cool the sweat on his skin. The city lights glowed below like veins of neon, pulsing in time with the System's quiet hum.

[Session Summary: Yue Hatake]

He smiled, reading over the stats. But it didn't last long.

Behind him, the rooftop door creaked open.

Tenjo.

The carefree roommate's usual swagger seemed toned down tonight. He lit a cigarette and stood beside Shen, offering him a glance.

"You've been busy," Tenjo said casually.

Shen didn't answer.

"You know," Tenjo went on, blowing smoke into the wind, "sometimes I get the feeling there's more going on with you than meets the eye."

"What makes you say that?" Shen asked coolly.

"I don't know. Maybe it's the way women around campus seem to melt when you walk by. Or how your phone lights up like a trading terminal. Or how Sakura keeps asking about you with that look in her eyes."

Shen stayed silent.

"Doesn't matter," Tenjo said, his grin returning. "Just don't forget who your roommates are. We watch each other's backs, right?"

He clapped Shen on the shoulder, then walked off.

[Warning: Suspicion Level — Tenjo Kushina: 63%]

[System Suggestion: Divert Attention | Use Social Event or Bait Interaction to Delay Discovery]

Shen's gaze followed Tenjo's retreating figure.

Things were getting dangerous.
