Chapter 314 : New Magic
Chapter 314 : New Magic
Unexpectedly, the dumplings Chen Yao made tasted quite good.
Compared to those seductive cheap goods from takeout and supermarkets, his dumplings had thin wrappers with lots of filling, and the meat was firm. The texture was just a bit like eating little buns in dumpling form.
But the taste was at least pretty good.
As night gradually deepened, after playing two games with Chen Yao, Lin Nan became increasingly drowsy. She walked into the bedroom, took out a thin blanket, and handed it to Chen Yao, then yawned and prepared to sleep.
Chen Yao had been sleeping on the sofa these past few days. It wasn't that Lin Nan was in a bad mood and kicked him away. It was purely because Chen Yao consciously knew he couldn't control himself if he slept together with Lin Nan.
Who knew what kind of tricks Lin Nan would pull, only stirring up his fire without taking responsibility to extinguish it.
"Don't close the door at night, I might get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night."
"I know." Lin Nan burped. She'd eaten too many dumplings and her stomach felt a bit bloated.
Full and satisfied, she lay on the bed holding her phone, reading novels. The bedroom door was half-open. Through the crack, she could still see Chen Yao in the living room holding his laptop browsing web pages.
For some reason, when playing games, she had been so sleepy her eyes could barely stay open, but now that she was actually lying in bed, the drowsiness suddenly vanished.
It was only nine o'clock at night. Lying in bed, she could faintly hear footsteps and conversations from pedestrians in the alley downstairs.
Lin Nan read for half an hour but couldn’t fall asleep. Feeling irritated, she got up and closed the window tightly, trying to block out external sounds as much as possible.
Once she had money in the future, she'd live in one of those tall buildings with dozens of floors. That would definitely be much quieter.
Lying in bed, Lin Nan suddenly realized she had forgotten something.
She froze for a moment and recalled carefully for a long time, until she felt some warmth flowing between her legs. Only then did she suddenly realize.
That elusive period hadn't come for over a month.
Lin Nan suddenly sat up, threw back the covers, and looked at the pool of blood on the sheet, on the verge of tears.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yao noticed the commotion in Lin Nan's room and pushed the door open, only to see the fresh blood on the sheets and smell the faint fishy scent lingering in the air.
Lin Nan looked up at him. The two stared at each other in silent awkwardness.
But that tension was quickly broken. Chen Yao shook his head with a bitter smile: "It's been several months, how do you keep forgetting?"
Lin Nan's face flushed red as she stammered an explanation: "It's not regular…”
Sometimes it comes at the end of the month, sometimes at the beginning. I've been busy with a bunch of things since school started, and worrying about Lilith's revenge...
Oh right, her two cats had also disappeared without a trace. Whenever she saw Lina, something would happen that made her forget to ask.
She couldn't just start wearing pads every day at the end of the month, right? That would be so wasteful!
"Fine, I have a bad memory." Lin Nan lowered her head to admit it, then stood up with a flushed face and flailed her arms to drive Chen Yao out of the bedroom. "You go out first, I need to change clothes."
"Okay, I'll go downstairs to buy you sheets."
Only after seeing him leave did Lin Nan slowly get off the bed.
This kind of thing had happened several times already, so she was quite experienced. But this time she hesitated.
"Can you stick a pad on without wearing underwear?"
She muttered to herself in confusion, then checked the magic unlock conditions.
Magic Power Conversion: After activation, continuously consumes magic power and increases stamina recovery speed. If stamina recovered quickly, wouldn't that be infinite!
The problem was the unlock method: Don't wear underwear for three days.
Lin Nan had seen this magic before, but at that time, she felt that, although unlocking it was simple, it would lead to feminization afterward. For delivering food, the loss wouldn't be worth the gain. Daily life didn't require much stamina anyway. It was just attending class, playing games, and occasionally working part-time, handing out flyers.
But now, after that humiliating fall this afternoon, Lin Nan was determined to increase her stamina.
And now she had no interest in skirts anyway. Outsiders couldn't tell whether she was wearing underwear or not. Who knew which seemingly proper handsome guy or beauty around her had a habit of not wearing underwear!
She just didn't expect her period to come...
Not coming earlier or later!
Lin Nan cursed and cast a purification magic on herself, then walked into the bathroom with a dark expression to rinse off.
Wait five or six days, wait until the period is over, then unlock the magic.
But she felt a bit unwilling... Anyway, she had purification magic. She could just cast it on herself every so often.
Or should she unlock the passive purification magic at the same time?
That long dress nightgown already gave a feeling of emptiness and unease when wearing it. Now she couldn't wear it at all. So after wiping her body a bit, Lin Nan crouched naked in the corner of the bedroom, rummaging through her suitcase for her old men's clothes.
It would be a shame to throw away her old summer men's clothes. They happened to be relatively loose compared to her current figure, so they'd work fine as pajamas.
Just as she was about to put on the clothes, the apartment door opened again.
Lin Nan was instantly scared pale. Too late to lock the bedroom door, she grabbed the clothes and hurriedly rushed to the bed.
"Lin Nan, I bought you a bottle of iced cola while I was at it." Chen Yao walked into the bedroom carrying things and put down the packaged sheets. He looked at Lin Nan in the covers somewhat confused. "Isn't it not cleaned up yet? Why did you get back in bed?"
"You go out first." Lin Nan carefully wrapped her body in the blanket, poking out just her little head, only feeling her face burning terrifyingly hot.
"You look like sushi wrapped up like that." Chen Yao pursed his lips, looking at Lin Nan's inexplicably shy expression. "Do you want the cola?"
Lin Nan looked at him like he was an idiot: "Are you planning to make me die of pain?"
"Then I'll just drink it myself." Chen Yao nodded matter-of-factly, opened the cola and gulped down several mouthfuls himself, then sighed with a refreshed expression. "Cola is really delicious."
Are you looking for a beating?
"Why are you blushing? We're already an old married couple. It's just that your period leaked. Just be more careful next time."
"You go out first!"
Chen Yao froze, looked her over carefully, and discovered there wasn't any anger on Lin Nan's face. Instead, there was more shyness.
Could it be she's planning to give me a surprise tonight?!
She finally wants to do it?!
He happily retreated from the bedroom, but then thought about it. Today Lin Nan got her period.
The smile on Chen Yao's face immediately disappeared. He sighed leisurely and sat on the sofa, continuing to hold his computer browsing web pages.
This time, he'd have to hide it deeper to avoid having his study materials deleted by Lin Nan again.
Inside the room, seeing Chen Yao leave, Lin Nan quickly put on her clothes, and only then did her expression ease.
Was I too harsh with Chen Yao just now?
She frowned as she recalled her earlier tone, but didn't have the mind to think too much about it. She cast another purification magic on herself, then began to clean up the messy bed.
The blanket had also gotten some blood on it. Fortunately, not much. She removed the duvet cover. She could just wash it on the weekend. The sheets had quite a bit of blood on them, but fortunately, it hadn't seeped through to the mattress, or that would be troublesome.
After finally cleaning everything up, Lin Nan was already tired with sweat on her forehead. She turned and flopped onto the bed, feeling like she was having bad luck.
Such easy magic to unlock, how did it create so many troublesome matters?
