To be a bit abrupt, but Lin Yi wanted to ask right now, what’s the proper way to share a bed with a beautiful girl?
No, no, no, this isn’t an academic question. It’s to say, right now, at this moment, Lin Yi was calling for help.
It was obvious. She was being clung to.
As for the reason, it was simple. People always have to sleep.
The content of the Women’s Talk Session was nothing more than which celebrities had gossip lately, which teachers had gossip, which classmates had gossip, and in the end, it always circled back to “What gossip do you have?”
It was just a shame that the three of them were far too good-looking, naturally giving off an untouchable, ethereal vibe that no one could get close to.
Plus, this was an All-Girls School. What did they think they were doing, talking about romance?!
And so, the topic ended there. A glance at the time showed it was half past ten at night, perfectly in line with the students’ excellent sleep schedule.
The electricity wasn’t getting fixed tonight. The Dorm Supervisor Auntie said something might have burned out somewhere, but with the Five Stops and roads blocked outside, who on earth could get into the school to fix it for them?
One could only say it was lucky the water wasn’t cut off. Plus, with the howling wind and rain outside, the uniquely Suzhou October weather that could kill a person with heat was gone, and it felt okay.
The moment they climbed into bed, the problem emerged.
Two beds. Three people. How to divide them?
Lin Yi clearly had a chivalrous streak. She was always willing to sacrifice herself for others, so she immediately raised her hand and said she could sleep on the floor.
Yan Jianxing, of course, vetoed this proposal. Lin Yi had already been running around in the rain for an hour tonight; it was a miracle nothing was wrong with her by now.
If she slept on the floor for another night, the only thing left to do would be to ask Huang Jinfēi if she had any incense to light three sticks for Lin Yi.
Feng Chuyue raised her hand. “I… I can sleep on the yoga mat.”
“That won’t do either,” Yan Jianxing vetoed. “You’re a guest in our dorm. How can we let a guest sleep on the floor while we sleep on the beds?”
After saying that, she pointed to her own bed. “I’m in good health. I’ll sleep on the floor. Moon God, you go sleep in my bed.”
“How could that…”
“Ah, it’s fine. Hurry up and get in. Or do you dislike my bedding?”
“I… I don’t dislike it…”
Making Feng Chuyue have a conversation with an extrovert like Yan Jianxing was already her limit. Expecting her to say anything more complex, Lin Yi felt, was probably impossible.
But she felt there was actually a better method, one where no one had to sleep on the floor.
It was just that saying it out loud might be a bit awkward.
Lin Yi blew out the candle. Instantly, the room became pitch dark.
“What are you doing?”
“Saving the candle, keeping it as a memento.” Lin Yi chuckled. “How about… Feng Chuyue sleeps in my bed with me?”
“Wouldn’t that be too crowded?”
“Not really. My sleeping posture is okay, and Moon God is so small, she won’t take up much space.”
Before Yan Jianxing could speak, Lin Yi added, “If she sleeps with you, I’m afraid you’ll clamp onto her like a body pillow in the middle of the night.”
This was the truth. One night when Lin Yi went to the bathroom, she discovered Yan Jianxing had an extremely poor sleeping posture and liked to sleep with her legs clamped around the blanket.
While those fair, shapely thighs made her drool, Lin Yi still wanted to ask: is it true what they say online, that people who sleep with their thighs clamped around the blanket have a really strong libido?
Yan Jianxing had nothing to say to this and could only silently get into bed, covering herself with the blanket to sleep alone.
A bit hurtful, sis.
Lin Yi turned on her phone’s flashlight, shining it on the ladder. “You go up first.”
Tap, tap.
Those little pink slippers landed on the floor. Lin Yi shone the light on Feng Chuyue’s small feet as she stepped onto the ladder and then climbed onto the bed.
Lin Yi swore she wasn’t a pervert or doing it on purpose, but as a fragrant breeze wafted over, she couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Then, Lin Yi handed the phone up and climbed the ladder herself. The two of them rustled around on the bed for a bit before settling into position.
Turning off the phone brought another wave of silence.
The rain outside the window still hadn’t stopped. The wind had died down a bit compared to the evening, at least the windows weren’t rattling anymore, but the sound of the wind coming from the hallway was still slightly terrifying.
“Want the blanket?”
“Mhm…”
“Then you take more of it over there. I can just tuck my side in.” Lin Yi shifted towards the edge of the bed, her arm dangling in the air.
“No.”
Feng Chuyue grabbed Lin Yi’s arm and pulled it. “Come, a bit closer. It’s fine.”
This was an invitation.
Lin Yi didn’t refuse, shifting back again. This way, there was basically no space left for air between their bodies.
Strangely enough, even though the other person was wearing her own pajamas, Lin Yi still felt a subtle sensation.
The fabrics were rubbing against each other. Every second, she could hear the other’s breathing.
Since their builds were similar, what Lin Yi felt most keenly right now was the area below her calves.
It felt like something cool, soft, and tender was constantly moving restlessly on the top of her foot.
Ten Alps Lollipops.
Calm down. You have to stay calm.
How can I calm down?!
Her nose was constantly filled with the lovely scent of a girl, okay? When had she ever fought such a dangerous battle?
Where’s the savior? Where’s the savior? Yan Jianxing, say something!
Yan Jianxing was already asleep. She was a champion who could fall asleep within five minutes of touching the pillow.
Well, that’s it.
Fortunately, she had no ‘gun’ to suppress, drawing her sword only to find her heart lost. Otherwise, she would definitely have exploded this round.
“Lin Yi…”
“Yeah?”
“I’m sorry.”
Lin Yi confirmed once more that light snores were coming from Yan Jianxing’s side and let out a sigh of relief.
She whispered, “No need to apologize.”
A warm sensation touched her forehead. In the darkness of the night, those gem-like, sparkling eyes and the bangs on the forehead were right in front of Lin Yi.
Their foreheads were pressed together, sharing each other’s breath.
“I’ve… caused you trouble.”
“I already said it’s fine.” Lin Yi couldn’t help but reach out and stroke the other’s hair. “If it were me, would you come to save me too?”
“Yes.”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Feng Chuyue met Lin Yi’s gaze and confirmed again, “Yes.”
“Then I was afraid you’d get blown away.”
“I… I would have sent the driver to save you,” Feng Chuyue quickly stated.
“What heavenly law did the driver break that he’d have to come save me in a level 16 typhoon?” Lin Yi broke out in a cold sweat.
Feng Chuyue blinked. “Did you break one, Lin Yi?”
Lin Yi fell silent.
An electric scooter downstairs sounded its alarm.
After the alarm stopped, Feng Chuyue asked, “Why… are you so nice to me?”
“Huh?”
“At the exam hall, cheering for me, giving me a boxed lunch, and… being together with everyone.”
“Uh, that…”
“And coming to find me, in this weather.” Feng Chuyue smiled. “Very gentle.”
At this point, Lin Yi couldn’t bring herself to say that she had only come to cling to her because of a System task.
Right, System?
[Detected host task failure. Reading Task closed.]
—System Bro!!!
Why betray me? I want to study seriously too! I want to improve myself too!
Lin Yi felt her hand being held.
She looked up. Feng Chuyue had closed her eyes.
“Lin Yi, I’m scared.”
“I already said, we’ve returned…”
“I’m scared… what if something happened to you on the way…”
Two teardrops rolled down her lovely face. “If that happened… I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life.”
Girl, if you don’t start working through your issues, you’ll be qualified to pilot an EVA, I’m telling you for real.
Lin Yi used her finger to gently brush Feng Chuyue’s nose.
She smiled. In Feng Chuyue’s eyes, this smile was probably something she could never forget for the rest of her life.
“Silly, where do you get all these thoughts?”
“But…”
“Just believe in me.” Lin Yi tidied the stray hairs on Feng Chuyue’s forehead. “There aren’t so many ‘whys.’ Just like how I do nice things for you without you asking why, you don’t need to ask why either. Just believe in me.”
The words were direct and lacked logic.
But Feng Chuyue chose to believe.
“Mhm.”
