Chapter 824 841: Overthinking One's Importance
Though they didn't speak, it was clear both of them were sleepless! Even a fool could guess that! Actually, An Qi'Er had already slept with Lin Mu once, but she was drunk then, and naturally slept soundly with a foggy mind. But now, in such a clear-headed state, having a relatively unfamiliar man lying beside her, sleeping peacefully seemed a bit more challenging this time!The raindrops outside tapping on the windows made a "pitter-patter" sound, but of course this "pitter-patter" was different from sounds of intimacy in bed, and the room remained fairly quiet, with both of them being quite silent!
"Hey, girl, are you asleep?" Lin Mu was the first to break the silence. With the rain outside and the quiet room inside, not talking felt a bit too awkward.
"Ah... Brother Lin, what's up?" An Qi'Er asked after a moment of surprise.
"Hey, girl, mind if I hug you to sleep?" Lin Mu turned to look at An Qi'Er, chuckling as he spoke.
To be honest, this was Lin Mu's first close-up observation of An Qi'Er, he could almost hear her steady breathing!
"Hug me to sleep? Didn't you promise not to bully me?" An Qi'Er couldn't meet Lin Mu's gaze, she stared at the ceiling and said.
"Yeah, I didn't bully you, did I? Just hugging you to sleep, it makes me feel at ease!" Lin Mu said.
"Uh..." An Qi'Er pondered for a while, then said, "Well, you better not get handsy!"
"Hey, I promise!" Lin Mu responded quickly, while inwardly delighted, as his mind was full of mischievous thoughts!
Lin Mu gently placed his hand slightly below An Qi'Er's chest. If he moved a bit higher, he could touch her prominent chest, but he didn't do so, he just quietly held An Qi'Er.
They spent a night in silence like this, slowly falling asleep. An Qi'Er was a sensitive girl, possibly due to an insecure family background, making her senses very keen!
Since Lin Mu liked An Qi'Er, he naturally wouldn't rush things. You can't rush love—and with a beauty in your arms, what's there to fear of her running away? As the saying goes, even if the monk runs, the temple stays!
So, Lin Mu respected An Qi'Er's wishes. Forcing her to do things she was unwilling to do seemed too unfair, and obviously didn't align with An Qi'Er's usual ways of dealing with things!
And for Lin Mu, winning over a girl requires more than just physical attraction; it's crucial to conquer her from the psychological perspective! For a girl like An Qi'Er, once she's conquered mentally, the physical conquest won't be far behind!
Winter has come, but can spring be far behind?
The night passed, and a bright morning approached. Lin Mu and An Qi'Er awoke simultaneously from their sleep, An Qi'Er comfortably lay in Lin Mu's embrace, gradually opening her beautiful eyes. There's something especially adorable and cute about a girl who has just woken up and still looks a bit dazed and lazy!
They slept quietly together for the night. For Lin Mu, being able to hug the campus goddess overnight was already satisfying enough. As for doing anything more, there's plenty of time in the future once the goddess is fully conquered. Besides, Lin Mu is an experienced player in love, not just a simple animal driven by lower instincts!
Lin Mu's desires have to be rooted in emotional connection, not just fulfilling physical needs; the perfect interplay between heart and body is the most beautiful aspect of life, and a gap between the two would lead to deep regret!
For instance, the relationship between Lin Mu and Zhou Xun has already reached a level where mind and body harmonize, making any intimate action undeniably wonderful!
Lin Mu stretched and sat up in bed, as the fierce storm from the previous night had ceased, and the sky outside had become clear.
"Brother Lin, why are you up so early?" An Qi'Er lay in bed, rubbing her eyes and asked.
"Just a habit, I wake up naturally. You go back to sleep, I need to go practice!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"Okay then!" An Qi'Er smiled and closed her eyes again to sleep.
At just six o'clock, Lin Mu got dressed, stretched on the balcony, and then took out his phone, planning to call Qi Manlin to ask how last night's operation went.
Lin Mu assumed Qi Manlin shouldn't have much trouble dealing with someone like Vulture, given that the police were involved, with guns and manpower; how could a few minor thugs resist?
Due to the thunderstorm last night, Lin Mu had turned off his phone when the lightning started, and now as he powered it back on, notifications for missed calls came dinging in continuously, all of which were from Qi Manlin!
"Oh crap, why so many calls!" Lin Mu muttered to himself, realizing something must have gone awry last night as all the missed calls were from Qi Manlin.
He had never met Vulture, was unfamiliar with him, and truly didn't have confidence in easily taking him down, but taking out his place shouldn't have been an issue!
If the police could easily capture Vulture, then the judgment of the Tsar Organization would be questioned, and without delay, Lin Mu called Qi Manlin, who picked up very soon!
As expected, Qi Manlin started yelling at Lin Mu the moment the call connected, akin to a roaring lion from the East! It was a brutal assault on Lin Mu's ears!
"You bastard, growing bold now, are you? Not answering my calls is one thing, but now you're even staying out all night? You should at least mention if you're not coming back! And you turned off your phone, you nearly drove me mad, just see how many calls I gave you last night?" Qi Manlin raged on the phone, venting all the frustration she had held in from the previous night onto Lin Mu.
"Uh... Officer, I admit I was wrong, okay? I know you care about me, but wasn't it raining last night? Then there was lightning, so I turned off my phone. I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to make you worry..." Lin Mu apologized hastily on the phone, knowing she cared about him, and he should appreciate that, especially considering how rare it was for the Chief Police Officer to show concern for a guy!
"Bullshit!" Qi Manlin cut him off with two words, then continued to scold, "Who cares if you came back or not, your life or death is no concern of mine. I wouldn't ask if you're coming back or not. I was calling to tell you the operation failed last night, we didn't catch Vulture!"
"Uh..." Hearing that from Qi Manlin, Lin Mu felt utterly depressed, "Damn, was I being self-absorbed all along?"
