Chapter 315 : Before Sleep
Chapter 315 : Before Sleep
Lin Nan's life could now be considered satisfactory.
Her living expenses had doubled compared to before. Basic living was definitely covered, and even if it really wasn't enough, she could righteously demand Chen Yao treat her to meals as his girlfriend.
However, unless she really couldn't survive, Lin Nan probably couldn't bring herself to do such a thing.
So she had always thought new magic didn't seem to have much use for her anymore. After all, she didn't plan to become someone superior. After the disaster of becoming female, all she hoped for this lifetime was to peacefully live through her days without too many more twists and turns.
But she still underestimated her own greed.
"Infinite stamina isn't really possible. After all, I don't really understand magic well enough to achieve that..." Lin Nan lay on the fresh sheets muttering as she calculated gains and losses. "But if I don't wear underwear for three days, at most, it'll just be uncomfortable. Adding my period... I'll need to set an alarm to remind me every half hour."
The purification magic was quite useful, turning Lin Nan into a little fairy who didn't need to use the bathroom. During her period, it could greatly reduce the use of pads. Using them occasionally during normal times could also keep her body clean.
However, thinking about it now, getting a more advanced purification magic seemed more economical. That way, she'd never bleed again in the future and wouldn't have tonight's mistake of getting blood all over the sheets.
While searching for magic in her mind, Lin Nan opened the bedroom door, only to see Chen Yao immediately close his laptop.
Before she could ask a question, Chen Yao took the initiative to ask: "Why are you wearing men's clothes again?"
"Using them as pajamas." Lin Nan said as she walked to the coffee table and pressed the button on the electric kettle. While waiting for the hot water, she asked curiously, "Why were you so nervous just now?"
Chen Yao's expression remained normal: “Me? Nervous? I was just about to sleep."
About to sleep?
Lin Nan had known him for seven or eight years. Even an idiot would know how to read expressions. With almost just one glance, she discovered the anxiety deep in Chen Yao's heart. She looked thoughtfully at that laptop, then asked with a smile: "Why don't you sleep on the bed tonight? You look pretty uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa."
Although it was a one-bedroom apartment, the space was still small. Neither the living room nor the bedroom had a place wide enough to lay out a proper floor bed.
"Then you..." Chen Yao originally wanted to tease her, but immediately chickened out.
Sleeping together with his girlfriend really wasn't a comfortable thing, okay?
Although he could hug her, cop a feel, steal kisses, in the end, he couldn't reach home base. For a hot-blooded young man, this was practically equivalent to torture. He'd heard that if it went on too long, it could even easily cause impotence.
But for some reason, today's Lin Nan was exceptionally enthusiastic. Seeing Chen Yao hesitate without finishing his words, she already nodded: "Mm, sleep together. I don't want to sleep on the sofa either."
Why does it suddenly feel a bit cold? Chen Yao touched the goosebumps on his arms, feeling like he was being targeted by a thief.
"Then you have to stay far from me." Chen Yao sighed lightly. "One person sleeps on each side, as far apart as possible."
Lin Nan froze, turned her head with a wronged expression: "Then you should just sleep on the sofa."
"No, what I mean is if I sleep too close to you...
Chen Yao anxiously scratched his head and ears, not daring to speak too directly. "It'll be very uncomfortable, okay?"
Their relationship as a couple had only lasted a few months. In these months, there hadn't been any intimate actions. Some things were still too embarrassing to put on the table to discuss.
But even so, Lin Nan understood.
She looked thoughtfully at Chen Yao's pants: "But right now I'm pretty far from you, isn't it still the same?"
Chen Yao's face, thick as cowhide, was getting a bit red. But looking down, there was nothing on the sofa to cover with, making it even more awkward.
Lin Nan stretched lazily. After all that commotion, she had long lost any drowsiness. She opened her computer and said to Chen Yao, "You should shower first."
"Mm."
Chen Yao hurriedly grabbed his clothes and walked into the bedroom. Lin Nan just opened her computer, but after hearing the sound of running water from inside, she quickly got up again and ran to the sofa to open Chen Yao's laptop.
There's even a login password!
Is this guy so guarded against me now?
Lin Nan huffily put the laptop back in its original position.
"Chen Yao! What's your computer login password!"
The sound of running water in the bedroom suddenly got a bit louder. Chen Yao answered from inside: "What did you say?"
"Then I'll come in to tell you!"
"Don't, don't, don't! What are you coming in for?"
After Lin Nan waited at the bedroom door for a moment, she finally pushed open a crack and looked inside. Sure enough, Chen Yao had already put on shorts and was in the bathroom wiping his arms with a towel.
Seeing Lin Nan's eyes through the door crack, Chen Yao helplessly raised his head and rolled his eyes: "You're such an idiot. It’s rude to be peeping, okay?"
"Acting like I haven't seen it before. It's not even as big as mine." Lin Nan walked into the room and flopped onto the bed, hugging the blanket and rolling twice. Lying on her side, she looked toward Chen Yao in the bathroom. "Mop the floor, or it'll be too damp, and there'll be cockroaches."
"Try it, and you'll know if it's big or not." Chen Yao made a dirty joke. After wiping his upper body, he picked up the mop and started cleaning the bathroom.
Lin Nan suddenly recalled the scene she'd seen two days ago, and her face immediately flushed red.
Chen Yao also finished cleaning, stretching and sitting at the head of the bed. He glanced at Lin Nan lying on the innermost side and felt a bit conflicted.
The sofa outside was really too small. After sleeping on it for a few days, his back already ached. If it went on longer, who knows what weird illness he might get? But sleeping in the same bed as Lin Nan was also extraordinarily uncomfortable.
"Let's sleep." He turned off the bedroom light and lay down somewhat nervously.
Although the bed was big enough and the two were positioned quite far apart, he could still smell the milky fragrance coming from Lin Nan's body.
He lay with his eyes closed for not even ten minutes before he felt the blanket being placed over him. Opening his eyes, he saw Lin Nan had already moved to his side.
She curled up beside Chen Yao and shared half the blanket. Seeing Chen Yao look at her, she muttered an explanation: "The AC is on, don't catch a cold."
Chen Yao turned over to face Lin Nan and reached out, carefully pulling her into his embrace.
Sure enough, he still couldn't resist.
"Don't get handsy." Lin Nan, held in his arms like a little cat, felt the warmth coming from Chen Yao's body, her face somewhat flushed.
"Mm." While agreeing, Chen Yao's hand slid from Lin Nan's shoulder down to her waist.
Lin Nan trembled nervously but then discovered that hand sliding down bit by bit. Through the clothes, but every time it passed over a patch of skin, a strange feeling like an electric current would transmit from the skin to her brain.
Her body also began to flush.
Until Chen Yao's hand reached her bottom, Lin Nan finally couldn't take it anymore and tried to retreat and leave.
"Why does it feel like... you're not wearing underwear?"
Chen Yao suddenly asked in confusion.
