Purpose Achieved, Danzhu and Cang Xuan

"Uh, Xiao Li, you go first."

Elysia hadn't expected them to speak at the same time.

"No, you go first. I don't know what to say," Lin Li replied.

If Elysia hadn't spoken just now, she might have been able to say a few things, but now she truly had no idea. With Elysia's slightly damp, big blue eyes looking at her, her mind went completely blank.

"Hmm… Xiao Li, can we go back to the bedroom first?" Elysia suggested.

"Okay."

Chatting in the living room wasn't a good idea. It was summer, and even at night, there was still some heat inside and outside the villa.

Of course, this was because the air conditioning wasn't on in the living room. The bedroom had air conditioning, which would be much more comfortable.

After turning off the living room lights, the two lay on the bedroom bed, propped up against the headboard, both looking at each other.

"……"

Neither of them seemed to dare to speak, just looking at each other.

Lin Li knew they couldn't let the awkwardness continue. Gritting her teeth, she leaned closer.

Elysia looked at the delicate and fine face in front of her, feeling her lips were a bit dry.

"Xiao Li…"

"Aren't you going to kiss me? Hurry up." Lin Li's voice sounded urgent, and she had already closed her eyes.

"……"

Elysia had originally planned to make the first move herself. She really hadn't expected Lin Li to be the one to initiate this time.

It felt like a failure… or perhaps a success? After all, Xiao Li rarely took the initiative.

It seemed Xiao Li was lying. She must have talked about her with the Doctor.

Elysia's lips curved slightly, as if she had thought of something fun.

She didn't want this to end so quickly. If she could tease Lin Li a bit more after kissing her, that would be even better.

Lin Li had kept her eyes closed for a while and hadn't felt Elysia lean in. She frowned.

She looked at Elysia, who was also looking at her, a smile in her eyes.

"Xiao Li, don't you think we're missing some atmosphere right now?"

"What atmosphere?" Lin Li asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, Elysia pressed the switch on the bedside table, and the bedroom plunged into darkness.

The curtains were drawn, so no light from outside could enter. Furthermore, in this Flame-Moth City residential area, there were no cars driving back and forth, so the entire bedroom was pitch black.

Although there were still some miscellaneous sounds from outside, the interior was extremely quiet at this moment.

Lin Li felt a sense of foreboding and moved back to her original position.

Elysia took the opportunity to press herself against Lin Li.

The situation now was very similar to last night, except that no one could knock on the door today.

This was because Elysia had removed the doorbell when she went out alone this morning.

She had been thinking about this moment since this morning.

"You…"

"Xiao Li, I promise, if you call me heavy again, I won't let you off so easily," Elysia whispered in Lin Li's ear as she lay on top of her. "Hmm… I almost forgot, Xiao Li, you owe me a kiss from yesterday, so… mhm?"

"……"

Lin Li pursed her lips and turned her face away.

"Then… hurry up."

"No, it's only a little past eight o'clock, I'm not sleepy at all, and I want to play with you for a while longer."

"Then you can finish kissing quickly and then… that."

"That?" Elysia asked, feigning ignorance as she detected the nervousness in Lin Li's tone.

"……"

A blush gradually spread across Lin Li's cheeks. Fortunately, it was dark, so Elysia couldn't see it.

However, she could definitely guess.

She placed her hands on Elysia's cheeks. The slightly warm, delicate touch made her unable to let go, and the curve of her lips couldn't be suppressed.

"Xiao Li, where should I kiss?" Elysia asked, her warm fingertips sliding down Lin Li's face and stopping at her thin, red lips. "Is here okay?"

"No… no." Lin Li moved her hand away and shook her head slightly.

Because she was being pinned down by Elysia, she couldn't make any large movements.

"Hmm… not okay? But I only want here." Elysia straightened Lin Li's face and looked at her intently.

Her hot breath fanned across Lin Li's cheeks, causing the already unstable blush to spread further, all the way to the roots of her ears.

Suddenly, Elysia leaned down. Lin Li, caught off guard, instinctively closed her eyes. However, what she expected didn't happen; Elysia simply buried her face in her neck.

"Xiao Li, you smell so good."

"...You too."

Lin Li didn't know why she said that. Perhaps it was the refreshing fragrance emanating from Elysia that made her blurt out her true feelings.

And then... nothing happened after that.

After she said that, Elysia casually kissed her cheek twice and didn't make any further intimate gestures, simply holding her as she fell asleep.

Elysia was smiling the entire time; Lin Li knew that.

Lin Li even felt a pang of disappointment. Elysia stopped just like that? That's really not like her at all.

What she didn't know was that Elysia was actually restraining herself. Otherwise... she would have been scared away long ago.

(Storage for thoughts: Bianca was originally going to leave the laboratory after recommending Klein, but since Lin Li joined, Bianca left a bit earlier.)

Elysia had already bought her plane ticket to the Far East the night before, so the two of them left Flame-Moth early this morning.

It was still the airport, and the procedures were similar, but the travel time to the Far East would be a bit longer today.

Lin Li took the opportunity on the plane to look at the world map, getting a general understanding of things.

Flame-Moth City, where Flame-Moth was located, was a standalone city created by a coalition of national governments. It couldn't be strictly classified as belonging to any particular continent.

If one had to say, it could be considered part of the Mu Continent, but the connection wasn't very close.

Besides that, there were also places like Australia, the Far East, and Shenzhou.

Lin Li was quite interested in this Shenzhou. The name sounded very familiar.

Seeing Lin Li gaze at the map of Shenzhou for a long time, Elysia couldn't help but ask:

"Do you want to go there later, Xiao Li?"

"No... I mean, if it's possible, I'd like to visit."

"Then when we have time, we'll go visit, okay?" Elysia said, hooking her arm around Lin Li's neck.

Ever since the two of them woke up today, their relationship seemed to have become even closer. Even now, when Elysia made small, suggestive movements towards Lin Li, Lin Li wouldn't say anything.

"Okay."

Lin Li nodded, subtly removing Elysia's hand from her lap.

That's not a small movement!

She regretted wearing her denim shorts. She noticed that whenever her legs were exposed to Elysia's gaze, the other girl always wanted to touch them.

Especially those white thigh straps; Elysia always wanted to pull them... didn't she know how ticklish that was?

It wasn't like this when she wore straight-leg pants yesterday. Could Elysia be a leg fetishist?

Hmm... Although, if she saw Elysia dressed like this, she might also find it hard to resist, but she had never actually acted on it.

"Are there any fun places in the Far East?"

"Hmm... I don't know." Elysia shook her head. "For me, as long as Xiao Li is there, it will be interesting?"

"...You should just stop talking." Lin Li's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said speechlessly, lowering her head to continue looking at her phone.

Elysia covered her mouth and chuckled softly, leaning her head on Lin Li's shoulder to rest.

After a long time, the plane finally landed. The time on Lin Li's phone showed it was already twelve o'clock. However, due to the change in longitude and latitude, this wouldn't be the accurate local time.

Elysia knew where the university was, so Lin Li didn't need to search for it herself. She just had to follow Elysia.

The location was in the city center of Changkong City. The two of them walked unimpeded all the way to the university's main gate.

"Have you been here before?" Lin Li asked, or rather, inquired.

"Uh-huh, guess, Xiao Li?"

"Then I won't guess." Lin Li shook her head, looking at the grand gate before them. A hint of awe appeared in her eyes.

Is this what a university looks like? This is the first time I've seen one.

"It seems like you really like this school, Xiao Li?" Elysia said with a smile upon seeing her reaction. "If you want, I can arrange for Flame-Moth to get you a student identity. It shouldn't be difficult for them."

"No, I... I stopped studying a long time ago. Even if I wanted to learn, university would be too difficult for me." Lin Li lowered her head and sighed. "Let's go find those two girls. Bianca told me they would be waiting near the school gate."

Hearing this, Elysia looked around but didn't see any two girls who looked like university students standing together.

After all, this was the school gate, and many people were coming and going. In fact, the way the two of them were dressed made them look like students.

In the eyes of other passersby, they were two very beautiful and intimate students.

Many male students' gazes lingered on them, so much so that they didn't even notice their girlfriends pinching them.

"Is... is that them?" Elysia pointed in a direction.

Lin Li looked over and saw two young girls sitting on luggage that was about half her height, looking around.

They looked very similar, with the same reddish-brown hair, though one was a shade darker than the other.

One of them had red eyes, the other blue, like the sea.

After their gazes met Lin Li's and Elysia's, they waved.

The two exchanged a look and walked through the crowd, approaching the two girls.

"Danzhu? Cang Xuan?" Lin Li said uncertainly, holding two documents with blurry photos that didn't seem to relate much to the two in front of them.

"Mhm, see, I told you my eyesight was good, I spotted them right away!" the girl with red eyes said proudly to the other, then looked at Lin Li. "You're Lin Li, right?"

"Mhm."

Lin Li nodded, deciding not to dwell on the photos in the documents.

"Great, I'm Danzhu, and this is my younger sister, Cang Xuan," Danzhu introduced.

"...I'm the older sister," Cang Xuan added.

"..."

Lin Li felt the names suited them perfectly. The characters "Cang Xuan" gave off a blue feeling, while "Danzhu" corresponded to red.

A small lock of Cang Xuan's hair on the left was dyed blue, perhaps to distinguish herself from Danzhu.

"What about me? Do you know my name?" Elysia chimed in, looking expectant.

"Uh, no, who are you?" Danzhu asked.

"..." Elysia pouted, her displeasure evident on her face. "Never mind if you don't know. I'm Elysia, and I'm here with Xiao Li to pick you up. Have you finished all the paperwork?"

"Don't worry, we finished it ages ago. Trust our efficiency," Danzhu said, patting her chest.

Cang Xuan, overhearing this, couldn't help but interject, "I did all the paperwork. You didn't do anything, you were just playing around the whole time, and you have the nerve to say that..."

"What do you mean? I was testing you! Otherwise, how would it be your turn, little sister, to do this? Hmph." Danzhu, exposed, became flustered.

"Oh, right, right, I'm the little sister, being tested," Cang Xuan said dismissively. "Honestly, without me, you wouldn't even survive."

"..."

Danzhu decided not to argue with her sister... no, her older sister. She always lost to Cang Xuan in arguments, and this was her first time meeting Lin Li; she wanted to make a good impression.

She tidied her hair, cleared her throat, and said, "Can we go now? Will we be able to see the legendary Dr. Mobius soon?"

"Yeah, we can go. It's just... Lin Li and I only just arrived not too long ago. Wouldn't it be a bit awkward to leave so soon?" Elysia said, poking Lin Li with the hand behind her back. "Besides, after such a long flight, we're still a bit disoriented."

"Mhm." Lin Li nodded helplessly.

"Ah? You two are still airsick?" Danzhu exclaimed. "Then you should rest. It's not too late for us to go in a few days. I don't really want to start work that early anyway."

"I think you just don't want to work. You were always slacking off in the school lab. If you start working, then you'll have to... never mind, I didn't say anything."

Sensing Danzhu's dangerous gaze, Cang Xuan wisely shut her mouth.

However, what had been said was already out, and Lin Li and Elysia had heard it all clearly.

"Ah... haha, how about we take a stroll first? Do you guys want to join us?" Elysia smoothed things over, extending the invitation.

She purely wanted to spend more time with Lin Li; Danzhu and Cang Xuan weren't absolutely necessary.

Of course, a walk with all four of them would also be nice, wouldn't it?

"Mhm, mhm, of course! Coincidentally, I know a really delicious dessert shop that just opened nearby. Shall we check it out?" Danzhu made no attempt to hide her desire to eat, not even bothering to critique Cang Xuan.

However, this suggestion was very appealing to Lin Li.

She looked at Elysia, who was clearly tempted by Danzhu's words.

Elysia knew Lin Li loved sweets. She vividly remembered Lin Li carrying a large bag of sweets from the food street that day, all strawberry-flavored.

"Okay, then..."

"I'll lead the way," Danzhu said, jumping down from her luggage first and patting her short skirt.

It was then that Lin Li noticed that the sisters' clothes were a bit loose, with the fabric that should have covered their shoulders slipping down, revealing a sliver of white camisole. Perhaps they couldn't find clothes that fit them.

"You get down too! Do you want me to drag you along?"

Danzhu said impatiently, looking at Cang Xuan, who was still on the luggage.

"..."

Cang Xuan carefully climbed down, thankfully without twisting her ankle.

She wouldn't dare jump down so carelessly like her silly sister. It had happened once before, and Danzhu had fallen, requiring Cang Xuan to help her up.

"Alright! Come on, follow me! It's crowded there, and if we're late, they'll probably be all snapped up," Danzhu said, grabbing Cang Xuan's hand. Each of them also pulled a suitcase as they walked forward.

Lin Li and Elysia exchanged a smile and followed.
