Chapter 1756 - 1751: That Was Not a Dream
"Did I just imagine things?"
As Lin Ya locked the door of the room, a shocked voice sounded from the corridor not far away.
The speaker was none other than Jing, the girl who had previously attempted to assassinate Hu Xiaobei.
Earlier, when she stepped out of the room, she accidentally saw Hu Xiaobei hurrying in this direction. Curiosity piqued, she decided to follow him to see what was happening.
She was stunned by the scene she witnessed here. She thought the progress between Lin Ya and Hu Xiaobei was remarkably fast!
...
"Jing, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this surprised inquiry, Jing turned around and found a girl around her age looking at her, equally puzzled.
Evidently, the girl didn’t know why Jing was there.
"I’m not doing anything, just wandering around."
Jing didn’t know how to explain what she had seen, so she opted to say nothing and told a small lie.
No sooner had she spoken than she heard the girl casually say, "Really? I happened to have something to discuss with you. Come with me!"
"Okay!"
Jing agreed and left together with the girl.
As she turned around, Jing glanced again at Lin Ya’s room.
She was determined to find a time to ask about everything and understand what truly happened.
...
Lin Ya was unaware that Jing had witnessed everything. After locking the door, she looked at Hu Xiaobei, who was sitting comfortably on her bed.
"He really doesn’t think of himself as an outsider!"
Blushing, Lin Ya murmured to herself as she approached Hu Xiaobei.
Once standing in front of Hu Xiaobei, she shyly asked, "Would you like something to drink?"
Hu Xiaobei was observing the room but turned his head when he heard the alluring question and looked at the flustered Lin Ya. He smiled and said, "Anything is fine, I’ll drink whatever you have."
After a brief moment of thought, Lin Ya quickly replied, "Then I’ll pour you some water! I really don’t have much else to offer!"
"Sure!"
Hu Xiaobei replied with a smile!
The next second, Hu Xiaobei lazily continued examining the room.
The room was tidy without too many items...
Rubbing his chin, Hu Xiaobei clicked his tongue and expressed his amazement, "This room is a bit too minimalistic!"
"Simple? I feel like there’s nothing missing!"
With this quiet response, Lin Ya walked over.
Seeing Lin Ya holding a cup, Hu Xiaobei quickly accepted it, sipped, and then pointed to a nearby corner, saying softly, "I feel like there’s a makeup vanity missing there."
Hu Xiaobei truly thought her room lacked a vanity.
Looking at the spot Hu Xiaobei indicated, Lin Ya chuckled lightly, saying, "I don’t feel the need for that!"
Unlike typical girls, Lin Ya spent her days on cultivation, reducing her need for cosmetics significantly.
Upon hearing Lin Ya’s confident response, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes, "Your reasoning makes sense!"
After saying this, Hu Xiaobei took another sip.
After completely finishing the cup of water, Hu Xiaobei looked at Lin Ya standing before him and said softly, "Now, shall we get down to business?"
"Business?"
Though somewhat understanding Hu Xiaobei’s intent, Lin Ya feigned confusion as she looked at him.
"Yes, business!"
Gently nodding, Hu Xiaobei directly grabbed her soft hand again.
"Ah!"
Lin Ya exclaimed again as Hu Xiaobei surprised her.
Though it was the second time she was surprised, she still felt tense because it was a rare experience for her.
"I’ve said before, right? I’m not a tiger, there’s no need to be afraid!"
Feeling her body suddenly tense up, Hu Xiaobei sighed and spoke with a bitter smile.
"To me, you’re scarier than a tiger!"
Lin Ya glanced at the helpless-looking Hu Xiaobei and softly murmured.
Her words weren’t a joke...
With her skills, handling a tiger was too simple...
Thus, Hu Xiaobei was indeed more intimidating than a tiger.
At this moment, Hu Xiaobei didn’t know what to say...
"Since saying anything is pointless now, let’s not speak!"
Whispering lightly to himself, Hu Xiaobei directly pulled Lin Ya, whom he’d brought close, into a hug...
"So fragrant!"
Admiring softly, Hu Xiaobei placed the nervous-looking Lin Ya beside him.
"Xiaobei..."
"Don’t speak, leave everything to me!"
Saying this, Hu Xiaobei directly grabbed her delicate feet wrapped in light purple stockings.
This immediately caused the energy within Lin Ya’s body to dissipate quickly...
Feeling her change, Hu Xiaobei smiled a little proudly...
...
The next morning, Hu Xiaobei woke up first...
Glancing at the still-sleeping Lin Ya, Hu Xiaobei knew everything from the previous night wasn’t a dream.
"It’s getting late! I should get up and check the growth of those vegetables and fruits!"
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei prepared to stand, only to find himself tightly held by Lin Ya.
"This... she seems so aloof, why is she acting so gentle now?"
With no way to escape from her embrace, Hu Xiaobei’s mouth twitched...
After watching the still-sleeping Lin Ya for a moment, Hu Xiaobei prepared to act, but then noticed her long eyelashes moving slightly.
"Is she waking up?"
With this thought, Hu Xiaobei saw her large sparkling eyes open.
"Guessed right!"
Muttering softly, Hu Xiaobei noticed her eyes growing bigger.
"Is she about to scream?"
As this thought emerged, Hu Xiaobei prepared to cover her mouth. He knew that if she screamed, everyone would hear, and the place would indeed become lively...
Upon having the idea to cover her mouth, Hu Xiaobei intended to act, but quickly found himself in an awkward situation, being firmly held and unable to do so.
"Is there any other way?"
Pondering like this, Hu Xiaobei thought of an idea and quickly moved closer.
Before she could scream, Hu Xiaobei silenced her by pressing his lips against hers...
This sudden assault made her forget to scream, leaving her staring wide-eyed at Hu Xiaobei.
"Success!"
Seeing her startled gaze, Hu Xiaobei exhaled a sigh of relief...
After a brief moment, Hu Xiaobei retreated slightly and reminded, "Don’t scream, or else we’ll be surrounded!"
After hearing Hu Xiaobei’s reminder, Lin Ya thought carefully and chose not to scream again, knowing his words made sense. If she screamed now, it would certainly draw everyone’s attention...
