Chapter 109
Chapter 109 The Virgin is Truly a Virgin
Ling Mo was indeed completely focused on gaming stuff, completely neglecting the little awkwardness from the previous dungeon.
While that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it did make Xia Xinyan, who had been tangled up in that issue, seem a bit less serious by comparison.
But she didn’t see it that way herself.
It was surely because this guy found the matter embarrassing, so he had to divert attention to other things.
Tsk, looks like he has a bit of emotional intelligence after all.
Why hadn’t she seen him put this much effort into other girls before?
—Fine, she already knew the answer to this question: it was because he had never met someone who made his heart race.
She had always thought that if she ever met a girl she found visually appealing, like love at first sight, she would definitely take the initiative. Even if she didn’t succeed, at least it wouldn’t be a regret.
Unfortunately, in her past life, she never got to meet someone to her taste.
But now, it seemed that this lifetime, Ling Mo had found that someone.
That someone was her.
This made her feel a bit complicated.
Whatever, there’s plenty of time in the future; she would eventually find a way out of this.
Time passed quickly into the night.
After returning to school, the two resumed their normal routines. Though they had lost a few days of nightlife, it wasn’t like they just started at night.
Xia Xinyan was used to sleeping before midnight, just like Ling Mo.
However, this time, as she was shutting down her computer to sleep, a sudden knocking came from the door.
It was nearly midnight. After thinking for a moment, Xia Xinyan said, “Come in, the door’s unlocked.”
Then she saw Ling Mo walk in, holding a blanket and pillow.
Xia Xinyan: “……”
Ling Mo looked at her and chuckled softly, “How about I just sleep here on the floor from now on? That way, I can wake you up every morning.”
The few days spent back home felt like their relationship had made rapid progress, especially their first time sharing a bed. Although they hadn’t done anything substantial, he still wanted to seize such a good opportunity.
They needed to keep up the momentum for better results.
After all, he had slept over here once before… Xinyan probably wouldn’t reject him, right?
—Xia Xinyan actually wanted to reject him.
Her sleep time had always been her private space. While she could make do with Ling Mo during those days back home, it didn’t mean it could be a constant thing.
Though they weren’t sleeping together…
But…
Just as she was about to refuse, she hesitated.
Why did Ling Mo have such boldness?
Hadn’t he reverted to his old self?
Was he testing her?
Slightly squinting, she brushed the thought aside and suddenly smiled, “Sure, having you around makes me feel safer when sleeping.”
Ling Mo’s face immediately turned a bit awkward, as if he was flustered, but he held it together and bent down to start setting up his makeshift bed: “Um… I’ll protect you…”
Xia Xinyan continued to smile while looking at him.
Tsk, young.
Speaking of which, doesn’t he feel awkward saying that?
He truly was still a pure little virgin; even if his courage had slightly increased, he was still a pure little virgin.
Whatever, looking at the way he was acting, she figured even if they were sleeping together, he wouldn’t dare do anything out of line, so having him there wasn’t really a problem.
Plus, sleeping on the floor every day; wasn’t he afraid of catching a cold?
…Speaking of which, his current physique shouldn’t catch colds, right?
Thinking of this, Xia Xinyan slightly frowned.
Maybe she should buy him some foam mats tomorrow.
She just didn’t want him getting sick and affecting their dungeon runs.
Ling Mo was quite well-behaved. After arranging his bedding, he obediently went to sleep, as staying up late is not good for girls; he couldn’t be the one to disturb Xia Xinyan’s rest on their first night.
As for what was on his mind, he probably only knew that himself.
The night passed quietly.
The next morning, Xia Xinyan was woken up by Ling Mo calling her.
He had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for her to wake up and eat.
Upon hearing that, Xia Xinyan was somewhat surprised.
Had she relaxed to the point where she didn’t even notice when Ling Mo got up?
…That wasn’t a good sign.
However, even with that thought in mind, Xia Xinyan maintained a gentle demeanor and sat up in bed. Looking at Ling Mo standing by the bedside, a hint of teasing sparkled in her eyes as she stretched.
Her already perfect figure was fully displayed in that position, the thin T-shirt clinging to her body, unable to conceal the hints of spring that spilled forth, creating a sense of allure that tantalized without fully revealing itself. Under such circumstances, it was extremely tempting.
Ling Mo was dumbfounded.
He just stood there by the bed, almost unable to look away.
Noticing his expression, Xia Xinyan mischievously leaned forward on the bed to look at him: “Are you mesmerized?”
Ling Mo was already taller than her, and now standing by the bed, he was completely looking down at her. At this angle, with the roomy neckline of her T-shirt, he was greeted by a sight bathed in sunlight, creamy white skin shining through.
His face instantly turned red: “I… you… the food… it’s ready, I’ll go wait outside.”
After speaking, he hurriedly turned and bolted out of the bedroom.
Watching his retreating figure, Xia Xinyan’s interest deepened.
Tsk tsk tsk, he can’t handle just a bit of teasing, huh?
He was truly a virgin.
She suddenly understood the feelings of those seasoned players; such moments were really quite entertaining.
Thinking about it, she looked down at her own collar.
Not that much was revealed…
And he’d watched so many movies; how could he not handle something like this?
So embarrassing.
Sighing, she got up and started to get dressed.
Ling Mo was daydreaming at the dining table. When he saw her come over, he awkwardly cleared his throat and said, “Xinyan…”
“Hmm? What’s up?” Xia Xinyan sat down opposite him as if nothing had happened, happily sipping her porridge.
Seeing this, Ling Mo forcibly suppressed his embarrassment and didn’t hold back: “I probably won’t have time to play games for the next few days… The inter-school basketball competition in mid-month wants me to join.”
Hearing this, Xia Xinyan paused.
She almost forgot about that.
The inter-school basketball competition was a tournament held jointly by all the universities in Linjiang City. The reason for its establishment dates back to the year Linjiang City became a new first-tier city, which is a bit complicated. Anyway, this basketball competition has been preserved as a celebration program ever since, and the city government also seemed to take it seriously, pulling out all the stops every time.
Moreover, this competition was also a great opportunity for schools to socialize with one another.
In her last life, Xia Xinyan had participated in the inter-school tournament as well since she had been playing basketball since middle school and had even won first place in Linjiang University’s internal contest, so it was only natural for her to be selected for the school’s representative team.
However, at that time, she wasn’t very interested in the game and missed out on this great opportunity.
This time… well, it could be a good chance for some offline socialization.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Xinyan nodded: “Alright, looking forward to your performance!”
