Chapter 1755 - 1750: Arriving as Promised
"Finally out again, it really feels like being reborn!"
A minute later, Xiaobei muttered to himself as he jumped out of the deep cold pool.
A moment ago, although the time spent in the cold pool wasn’t long, it gave Xiaobei a sense of having been away for ages.
After muttering to himself, Xiaobei glanced around, and after confirming everything was normal, he once again circulated the Nine Wood True Qi.
After warming up his body, Xiaobei quickly grabbed the Submerged Pine he had previously brought up from the bottom of the pool.
"Even though it took a while, it was worth it in the end! Thinking about it, it still feels very worthwhile!"
Happily saying so, Xiaobei hugged the large piece of Submerged Pine and left...
After taking a couple of steps, Xiaobei hesitated for a moment. In the end, he chose to put down the Submerged Pine he was holding.
Xiaobei knew the temperature here was very low, so leaving it here was the best choice.
If placed outside, it might undergo some changes due to the temperature rising.
After carefully putting it down, Xiaobei turned around and left.
...
"Still no news by now; could it be that something unexpected happened to Xiaobei over there?"
In the room, Lin Ya, who had bathed and changed into a silk robe, bit her lower lip and spoke softly.
Earlier, after returning to the room, she quickly took a bath.
Afterwards, Lin Ya had been sitting there quietly waiting for Xiaobei to come and knock on the door.
But up until now, there was no sign of Xiaobei, which made her heart wrench with worry again.
She wanted to rush over there to check, but held back.
Because she had promised Xiaobei to wait here...
"I believe he definitely won’t miss the appointment, because we really agreed on it before."
Muttering once again, the anxious Lin Ya continued to wait quietly...
...
"Still waiting quietly in the room for me, huh. Looks like she really has confidence in me!"
After quietly arriving outside Lin Ya’s room, Xiaobei peeked inside through the crack in the door.
Soon, he tidied up his clothes...
Earlier, Xiaobei had used the Nine Wood True Qi to dry off his clothes, so now he didn’t look like a bedraggled mess.
Once he was ready, Xiaobei gently knocked on the door, and immediately heard an undeniably eager voice.
"Who is it? Is it Xiaobei?"
Hearing the eagerness in her voice, Xiaobei knew he couldn’t tease her any longer.
Thinking this way, Xiaobei smiled lightly and said, "Yes, it’s me! I’ve finished my business, so I’m here for our appointment."
"It’s really Xiaobei! He’s safely back after all!"
Inside the room, Lin Ya let out a long sigh of relief.
After the sigh, she quickly stood up, ready to open the door, but after taking just two steps, she stopped.
Biting her lip shyly, she turned and walked to the mirror.
After checking herself in the mirror and ensuring everything was in place, she opened the door, blushing, and saw her longingly anticipated Xiaobei standing there.
...
"Beautiful!"
The moment the door opened, Xiaobei exclaimed excitedly.
There was no exaggeration in Xiaobei’s reaction; freshly bathed, she looked even more beautiful than before.
Before, there was a faint chill about her...
This slight chill would make others reluctant to approach her.
Now, that chill had completely dissipated, so naturally, her presence felt different from before.
After admiring her, Xiaobei excitedly took in her appearance...
She was wearing a silk nightdress that was thin as a cicada’s wing, revealing her absolutely perfect, alluring figure.
So, looking at her like this, Xiaobei could see a general outline.
This also sparked a flame in Xiaobei’s heart.
"His gaze is so intense!"
Feeling Xiaobei’s intense gaze, Lin Ya’s heart began to race again.
Previously, Lin Ya had never encountered such an intense gaze, so now she was clueless about what to do.
All she could do was bite her soft lips shyly, clutching the hem of her garment.
Unaware that her shy demeanor only enhanced her charm.
"Oh!"
Quickly, Xiaobei widened his eyes in surprise.
The reason being Xiaobei had noticed that Lin Ya’s fair and beautiful legs were enveloped in a pair of light purple nylon stockings.
If someone else dressed like this, Xiaobei wouldn’t be surprised, but seeing Lin Ya dressed like this truly surprised him.
Hearing Xiaobei’s surprised gasp, she looked down and understood the reason for his surprise.
Blushing and pausing briefly, she gently spoke up, "I bought these while on a mission, never worn them before. I finally remembered them now and decided to put them on. If you don’t like them, I won’t wear them again."
The first half of her sentence was true...
The light purple stockings now worn on her legs were indeed bought during a mission, but the latter part of her statement wasn’t true.
She didn’t just remember them now; she knew they enhanced her charm, so she wore them on purpose.
After buying them, she was aware they could enhance her attractiveness, so she had always wanted to try them, but never found the right opportunity.
Now that the opportunity had arrived, she wasn’t going to let it pass.
Hearing Lin Ya’s words, Xiaobei quickly said, "No need to stop, I think they look great. They enhance you a lot, so you can wear them more often or buy other colors. I think black stockings might suit you better."
Xiaobei knew a bit about stockings, so he voiced his opinion.
Hearing Xiaobei’s opinion, Lin Ya shyly bit her lower lip, "I understand. If I have the chance, I’ll try to buy more in the future."
"Mhm!"
Xiaobei nodded lightly, then narrowed his eyes playfully, saying, "Standing at the door all the time doesn’t look right, does it? Aren’t you going to invite me in?"
While asking, Xiaobei gave her a cheerful once-over...
Soon, Xiaobei saw her, growing even shyer, take a step back.
Knowing she was tacitly agreeing, Xiaobei quickly brushed past her.
Humming a little tune, Xiaobei entered, while Lin Ya shyly mumbled to herself, "Look how smug you are!"
After speaking, she glanced around furtively as if she were a thief, ensuring no one noticed, before rapidly closing the door...
After closing it, she hesitated for a moment, then directly locked it...
