Stay calm!
It was still dark. The dical facility was located underground, and there were only air vents and no windows, so the room was pitch black without the lights.
Ren Suo, calm down and think with your head…
Ren Suo closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. The confidence of always being in control in the ga rose in Ren Suo once again.
You are the Hitman who once appeared in the Bloody Banquet…
You are the Seeker who once climbed 10,000 ters…
You are the Practitioner of the Ren family with a tragic fate, who was burdened with the responsibility of eliminating monsters and demons…
You are the All-Devouring Soul that will soon be known for deceiving everyone…
A turbulent sense of pride erged in Ren Suo’s heart, and his undefeated wisdom as he trumped countless battlefields erged in his brain! He put all his thoughts together, cald down and relaxed his body, and decided that—
—He would go back to sleep.
Perhaps he was dreaming? If he fell asleep, could he not be fully awake again?
Perhaps he was too sleepy and it was just his imagination? All would be well if he slept for a while more.
“The ga did not teach how to handle such a situation! And I can’t possibly save the ga and reload the save file to try and see what happens when I react differently!”
Ren Suo could not resist the sense of weakness that radiated from the bottom of his heart. He felt just like a newborn baby who had just erged from his mother’s womb. He felt so overwheld suddenly as if he was watching Godzilla jumping to her death in front of him and was at a complete loss about what to do. He thought, “I should just close my eyes and sleep.”
At that juncture, Ren Suo was just like the pangolin within 100 ters from him—it would dig a pit to bury itself and ignore all the circumstances that were happening outside which it could not comprehend.
The mont he closed his eyes, however, Ren Suo heard a gentle but muffled “mmm” from Qiao Muyi who was on his right. Yet, in the quiet space, the sound she made was no less than a loud, thundering breath.
Perhaps it would be easier to think of Ren Suo now as a student who had already started school but had not his holiday howork, and was extrely anxious as he awaited his fate of judgnt from the teacher!
“…?”
Ren Suo could hear that Qiao Muyi’s breathing was becoming disordered. It seed that she was starting to rember what happened last night. Then, the next scene should be the eternally embarrassing mont Ren Suo did not want to face—
—A tease.
As Ren Suo waited for Qiao Muyi to sit up or start talking, he felt a movent of the left hand he was holding in his right hand.
A finger was writing letters in his palm.
“Is, there, soone, else?”
Hallelujah!
Ren Suo suddenly beca rejuvenated and felt as if there was a great angel lying beside him who had her own strategies and knew everything! At that mont, Ren Suo was willing to attribute all praise to her—it was like the student Ren Suo who had not completed his holiday assignnts gladly finding out that Qiao Muyi who was sitting beside him seed to have completed them!
Ren Suo wrote on her palm with his finger: “Yes.”
She wrote: “Oh, gonna be fun.”
—However, it seed that Qiao Muyi was not willing to help him so easily.
Ren Suo continued to await the physical punishnt from the teacher in his fate. However, after a mont, Qiao Muyi asked, writing: “The lights would not turn on if there are only small movents?”
“Yes.”
Oh? At that mont, Ren Suo also figured out how to resolve the situation.
Apart from the mystery about how Dong Chengling ca into the room, the fact was that Qiao Muyi had co in first. Normally, if anyone saw Ren Suo and Qiao Muyi lying together in bed, their first reaction must have been envy and jealousy and hate… No, countless questions would arise in their minds and that would beco a topic for gossip. Or perhaps, they would wake them up, but it was even more likely for them to turn around and leave instead.
Regardless, the reaction should not have been “ 1”, “count in”, or “co on, I want to join in too”. Even his sister who had a loose screw in her brain would not think of doing that!
As such, Ren Suo deduced a possibility—Dong Chengling had not seen anything at all.
The bed in the room was far away from the door. The light from outside when the door was opened could, at the most, allow her to see the position of the bed, but not what was on the bed.
If Dong Chengling ca in without making any large movents, she might not have triggered the light sensor in the room, which ant that it was completely dark when she ca in.
In that case, she must have assud that Ren Suo was lying on the bed alone, which was why she… eh?
It was all thanks to Ren Suo’s laziness that the sensitivity of the lights was very low, and the lights would not turn on as long as Qiao Muyi moved slowly and gently. Otherwise, Dong Chengling would be able to see everything… eh?
Comparing “being seen by Dong Chengling when on the bed with Qiao Muyi” and “she realized that she was lying on the bed with Ren Suo and Qiao Muyi”, it seed that, perhaps, they had almost the sa ending.
Whichever the case, Ren Suo would surely be so embarrassed that he would wish that he could dig a hole in the ground and hide inside like the pangolin.
If it was a month ago, Ren Suo might have been willing to get up and trigger the lights to turn on without much consideration, and he would calmly explain to Dong Chengling that nothing impure happened between the two of them the previous night. There were similarities between his desires and how thick his skin was.
Now, however, it was different. Ren Suo was not willing to do that.
… He just was not willing to do that, and there was no specific reason for it. Simply put, his emotions trumped reason—subconsciously, he just felt that it was not wise for him to do that.
Qiao Muyi wrote in Ren Suo’s palm: “Let explain. I will not make her misunderstand.”
After a mont of silence, Qiao Muyi did not get a response from Ren Suo and she let go of his hand—
—However, Ren Suo grabbed her hand back the next second.
He wrote in her palm: “I’ll do it, you’re only here to help . I can’t let you take on such a role.”
After a mont of silence, Ren Suo did not get a response from Qiao Muyi and he took a deep breath, ready to tighten the grip on his left hand to wake Dong Chengling.
He had to do it even though he was unwilling. It was the sa in a reality where there were too many things people were “unwilling” to do that made the phrase “I do” so precious.
Yet, the next second, his hand was grabbed back tightly by Qiao Muyi again.
She wrote: “Or, we could take a gamble.”
A gamble?
Ren Suo hesitated for a mont and realized that Qiao Muyi had released her grip on his right hand. She moved very slowly and gently, and got out of the bed—
The lights were still off.
Indeed, Ren Suo had to thank his laziness!
Ren Suo imdiately realized what Qiao Muyi was thinking of doing. He remained motionless and relaxed instead, as he turned his head to look at the face so close to him, but was shielded by the black curtain of darkness. He knew what he was doing was of no help, but Ren Suo subconsciously felt that looking at Dong Chengling could make her sleep more soundly.
—Humans always thought that looking at sothing with eyes full of hope would cause miracles to happen, just like how they thought that glaring at soone they disliked could make them unlucky, and looking at a blank docunt would be able to make words appear by themselves…
The teacher in Ren Suo’s fate eventually skipped him. He felt that Dong Chengling’s breathing was very calm and there was no sign of her waking up.
On the other hand, Qiao Muyi had already picked up her boots and was slowly moving towards the door and opening it—being confined ant that there was a special checkpoint in the passage outside the door. Ren Suo was not allowed to move to other areas, but that did not an that the door was locked. If the door was locked, it was not confinent; it would have been imprisonnt.
The door was covered with a steel sheet and the door bearings appeared to be of the highest quality. They were well maintained and the door only made a light sound when it opened and closed.
However, that was a completely silent room.
If Ren Suo was running to Practice, he could throw a 1D100 (roll dice with numbers from 0 to 99) to determine whether he would be lucky enough to succeed.
Perhaps Ren Suo was lucky, or perhaps it was Qiao Muyi who was lucky, but fortunately, Dong Chengling had not been awakened.
Ren Suo glanced at the doorway gratefully and saw that Qiao Muyi had opened the door slightly and sneaked out. Illuminated by the light, she raised a finger in front of her mouth and smiled to indicate that Ren Suo should keep quiet. The bright light from outside fell on one side of her face and displayed her srizing charm.
Hallelujah! Once again, Ren Suo was extrely grateful from the bottom of his heart.
At that mont, however, Ren Suo saw Qiao Muyi holding one of his slippers, in addition to her own boots…
What did she want to do?
Ren Suo noticed that Qiao Muyi raised her eyebrows to reveal a sense of ‘endless joy’.
She took aim at the space on the bed beside Ren Suo and threw his slipper towards her target as she closed the door at the sa ti.
In the darkness, his slipper made a beautiful arc through the air and landed quietly on the soft bed.
The lights turned on.
