Chapter 240 : Sharing a Bed
Chapter 240 : Sharing a Bed
The night deepened.
The city under the epidemic no longer had its former bustle. It was quiet like a ghost town. Looking down from the balcony, she couldn't see any people or cars.
If this were before, there would still be quite a few pedestrians on the street at this time. This area was close to the pedestrian street, and snack stalls would fill an entire street.
After eating the late-night snack, Lin Nan took a bath, changed into brand new underwear, put on the pink cat pajamas, and yawning, pushed open the bedroom door.
The lights weren't on inside. She could only see a bright phone light swaying slightly on the bed.
"Get down." Lin Nan stood at the head of the bed, urging Chen Yao to get off.
"The bed's big, it's fine."
"Get lost."
Chen Yao smoothly rolled onto the floor bedding that had been laid out.
Lin Nan climbed onto the bed feeling life had no meaning, sniffing the faint masculine scent on the bed. Her drowsiness was dispelled, and her body actually started reacting again.
Her body gradually became somewhat heated, a nameless fire beginning to burn in her heart, and her head also gradually became confused.
This is Lilith's fault, right? This must be Lilith's fault!
It's all because she had wild nights of pleasure, causing her to so easily get aroused.
Before she had become female, Lin Nan normally wouldn't have any physiological reactions at all. At most it would only be when seeing some H images or doujinshi.
But back then she didn't reject it, after all she'd been male for so long.
But now, she was extremely averse to having any female physiological reactions, so she rejected everything that might trigger a response.
In the end, it was still because she wasn't used to being a woman.
Using magic to suppress the heat in her heart, her head immediately cleared up quite a bit. But this also made her completely lose her drowsiness.
Thinking carefully, actually when she first encountered Lilith there were already signs of this. Back when the dorm had a power outage and she went to the internet cafe with her roommates, she had also once fled in panic because of Chen Yao's scent.
Later, although she lived in the male dorm, no matter how gay her roommates acted, it was hard to have overly intimate physical contact. She also wouldn't idly run to other people's beds, plus the heavy psychological pressure at that time...
Looks like it might also be related to being too idle. After all, when warm and well-fed, one thinks of lust.
"By the way, give me back the New Year's money your mom gave me." Lin Nan suddenly poked her head over the edge to speak to Chen Yao on the floor.
"I thought you were just giving it to me..."
"I originally wanted you to help me return it, okay?" She rolled her eyes at Chen Yao in the darkness.
Taking back the New Year's money the aunt gave her, Lin Nan curiously felt around the cash in the red envelope in the dark with her fingers, discovering there was at least over a thousand. This money, like the meeting gift last time, absolutely couldn't be accepted.
She'd secretly find a place to leave it when she left.
Lin Nan tucked the red envelope under her pillow, then lazily yawned and flopped into the covers.
After lying down for just a few minutes, she turned on her side, moved her position to the edge corner of the bed, and slightly poked her head out to look at Chen Yao's body outline in the darkness.
Now she felt much more at ease.
Although this place was gradually giving Lin Nan a sense of belonging, Uncle and Aunt were really too enthusiastic to the point of making her anxious and uneasy. If she didn't have anything worth scamming on her person, she would even suspect she'd entered a pyramid scheme den.
But undeniably, she was indeed growing to like this family more and more, and was immensely envious of Chen Yao who was part of this family.
Compared to her own home, and those eighteen years of treatment at home before this...
They were both parents, so why was the difference so huge?
Chen Yao seemed to have fallen asleep.
She looked at that motionless figure and sighed softly, carefully climbing down from the bed, afraid of disturbing Chen Yao.
Then she tremblingly lay down beside Chen Yao, so nervous her hands were shaking a bit.
If it weren't for the new magic... consider yourself lucky.
Lin Nan didn't dare move around randomly and could only lie flat, looking at the ceiling.
Uncle and Aunt really didn't listen to advice. Even though it was during an epidemic, they still took risks to volunteer. Lin Nan had after all gained two pounds under their care. For the favor of those two pounds of meat, she should at least protect them during the epidemic.
Steam Shield.
Once activated, it could automatically attach the slight steam emitted when the human body dispersed heat to the skin's surface. It had waterproof properties and could slightly reduce the effect of other attribute magic from enemies.
Since she didn't know if various magic shields could prevent viruses, at least Lin Nan knew that in daily life, most viruses were transmitted through droplets. Since it was droplets, the waterproof steam shield would have an effect.
Moreover, the steam shield clung closely to the body's surface. Even if noticed, Auntie would probably just think her skin had become more supple.
It's just that the unlock condition was to share a bed with some male.
Sharing a bed was accomplished. They were both on the same bamboo mat. Sharing a pillow... it seemed there wasn't such a long pillow available.
"What are you doing?"
A low inquiry suddenly came from beside her, scaring Lin Nan so much her whole body trembled.
"Weren't you asleep..." she asked guiltily.
"Just fell asleep and your movements woke me up." Chen Yao's voice was very low. He turned around, facing Lin Nan, and asked curiously, "Is the bed uncomfortable?"
The intense male hormones rushed at Lin Nan's face along with Chen Yao's breath. In just an instant it made her face flush and her heart race.
She frantically turned over with her back to him, trying to explain her behavior. "The bed was too hot. The bamboo mat is cooler."
"If you're not sleeping I'll go sleep on the bed. The bed is much more comfortable." Chen Yao muttered as he sat up, trying to get on the bed, but discovered one wrist was firmly gripped.
He paused, unable to understand what was wrong with Lin Nan.
"Had another nightmare or thought up a bunch of random nonsense?" He wasn't in a hurry to leave, mistakenly thinking Lin Nan's emotions were troubled again and she wanted to vent to him.
But Lin Nan just had her back to him, one hand tightly gripping his wrist, not making a sound no matter what.
Calm down! Calm down! Magic!
After forcibly calming herself down, Lin Nan let out a long breath.
So how to explain what happens next? How to continue unlocking magic?
As soon as this question appeared, Lin Nan discovered she was panicking again.
"What's going on?" Chen Yao scratched his head and simply lay back down.
He was extremely drowsy, yawning continuously, his brain also in a half-dead state. After lying down for less than two minutes, his breathing became even again.
Lin Nan, whose whole body had been tensed up, finally relaxed. Fortunately there wasn't too big an accident.
She turned around to face Chen Yao, her head pillowed on her arm, her gaze complex as she looked at this close friend of six or seven years.
In the darkness she could only see Chen Yao's outline.
I think I really do like him a bit... She didn't quite dare admit this thought, always feeling such a thought was perverted for her.
Chen Yao moved, seeming to want to turn over. The girl guiltily shrank back.
He reached out his hand. The girl tried to dodge.
Then she was pulled into his embrace.
"?!!"
