Just as their lips were about to touch, Adam suddenly stopped and stood up again.
"What am I doing?"
Looking at Wanda on the bed, Adam calmed down for a few seconds, then turned and walked out the door.
"She's really growing up too fast. How did she get so big in just a few years?"
Before, he had indeed always treated Wanda like a younger sister, even though they weren't blood relatives.
His parents divorced in his previous life and barely paid any attention to him, and he had no siblings.
So, in this life, having a lovely younger sister made him very happy.
However, everything that happened today made him realize that as Wanda grew up, his feelings for her seemed to be changing.
Some stirrings made him feel that kind of emotional connection.
If his feelings hadn't changed, he definitely wouldn't have felt this way, nor would he have made the move he just did; he would have just felt awkward.
However, he was a relatively rational person. Even if he discovered his feelings had changed, he wouldn't just follow his impulses. Instead, he quickly calmed down and began to consider the possibilities between him and Wanda.
Firstly, he couldn't yet be sure of Wanda's feelings for him. If Wanda only saw him as a brother, then he needed to nip these distracting thoughts in the bud as soon as possible.
After all, it was just the beginning; he wasn't deeply involved, so it wouldn't be difficult to end it.
Secondly, if he really ended up with Wanda in the future, what would Elena and Oleg think?
Whether they agreed or objected was also very important to him.
Other people's opinions weren't important to him, but he had a special affection for Wanda's family, truly treating them like family.
Naturally, he couldn't disregard their choices for his own selfish desires or because of his strength.
Finally, Wanda hadn't truly grown up yet. There was no need to rush, and his strength hadn't yet reached a point where he could afford to waste time on this.
Perhaps he could wait a few years; time would reveal everything.
If it was truly a mutual attraction, then he wasn't inflexible. Marrying someone with an emotional foundation seemed like a good choice.
As for the Wanda who came from a dream in the future, as long as his strength was sufficient, it wasn't something he couldn't handle.
"Forget it, now isn't the time to think about these things. Improving my strength is the most important. Only with enough strength can I have the confidence to do other things."
Leaving the room, Adam walked and thought, his mind finally calming down again.
However, when he arrived at the door of the medical room again, he couldn't help but frown.
Because the door to the medical room was still locked, which meant the "battle" inside might not be over yet.
"Foreigners really know how to have fun, but couldn't they wait until they got back to their own rooms at night?"
His eye twitched, and Adam directly raised his hand and slammed the medical room door twice. The special metal door immediately bore two very obvious handprints.
The medical room did have excellent soundproofing; normal knocking wouldn't be heard inside.
But with Adam hitting the door hard enough to almost break it, the movement inside would still be felt.
He hadn't done this before because he didn't think it was necessary.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, the medical room door opened.
"Oh, it's Adam. I was just doing an experiment. Is something wrong?"
Phoenix, whose clothes were a little disheveled, tried her best to regulate her breathing to avoid revealing any tells.
"Doing an experiment? A baby-making experiment?"
Adam replied with a look of exasperation:
"Wanda has a stomachache. Get me some painkillers."
"Painkillers? I'll get them for you."
Fearing that Cyclops, who was hiding inside, would be discovered by Adam, Phoenix didn't open the door completely. Instead, she gestured with her hand, using her telekinesis to retrieve the painkillers from the medicine cabinet.
Taking the painkillers, Adam turned to leave, but before he did, he couldn't help but add:
"Although this medical room is soundproof, students have all sorts of strange abilities, and some are not affected by this soundproofing.
So... when doing "experiments"... it's better to be a bit more careful."
"Thank you, we understand."
Phoenix heard Adam's reminder and was initially stunned (stunned), not reacting, but soon, as intelligent as she was, she understood from the several words Adam had deliberately emphasized that her "battle" with Cyclops might have been discovered by Adam.
Thus, she was so embarrassed she almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Seeing this, Adam happily returned to the dorms.
When you're embarrassed, and someone else is even more embarrassed than you, then you're not so embarrassed anymore.
Meanwhile, inside Wanda's dorm, the entire room was enveloped in red chaotic energy.
"He was going to kiss me! He actually wanted to kiss me! He really does have feelings for me, not just treating me like a sister! This is simply... amazing!"
She was so happy that if she wasn't still on her period, Wanda would probably have jumped out of bed and danced freely.
In fact, many times, she was very aware that Adam had always only treated her like a younger sister, and many of her sweet mental activities were self-comfort.
Afterward, she would quickly sober up, just like earlier when she thought it was Adam's confession to her, thinking Adam wanted to "do that" with her.
After thinking about it, she realized it was just her unilateral misunderstanding.
It was precisely because she knew Adam always treated her like a sister that she had never truly expressed her feelings.
She knew the final outcome would inevitably be failure, and it could also make their relationship distant.
However, just now, while she was feigning sleep out of embarrassment, she clearly sensed that Adam's feelings for her went beyond his usual normal treatment of her.
What a pity, just one step short, just one step short.
"It's okay. Although it was just one step short, it has already broken through the most difficult barrier. Adam, you won't escape my grasp in this life!"
Laughing loudly a few times, Wanda tried to calm the chaotic energy she was emitting due to her excessive happiness, then continued to close her eyes and pretend to sleep, waiting for Adam to return.
The most cunning hunter always appears as the prey.
"Wanda, wake up. Time to take your medicine. You can sleep after you've taken it."
Returning to the dorm, Adam poured water and prepared the medicine, then gently woke Wanda, who was still sound asleep.
Wanda feigned grogginess as Adam fed her the medicine, then she hugged Adam tightly, pressing her body against him:
"Brother, don't go. My stomach still hurts. I want you to hold me for a while."
"Okay, I'll hold you. You sleep."
Feeling the softness against his chest, Adam took a deep breath, trying to clear his mind of distracting thoughts, and gently patted Wanda's back, attempting to lull her to sleep quickly and then slip out of the room.
"Putting her to sleep today is taking forever!"
