Curiosity

Gu Yilan also shared her plans.

Lin Che didn't think it was strange. That Little Fairy, Luo Xue, seemed to be an ACG enthusiast, after all.

It was perfectly normal for an Otaku Girl to drag her best friend along to a Comic Exhibition during the holidays.

"Xiao Che, stop playing games at home all the time. Go with Little Yilan to the Comic Exhibition!"

Lin's Mother said.

Hearing Lin's Mother, Gu Yilan stopped picking up food and looked at Lin Che expectantly. Clearly, Lin's Mother had said exactly what she was thinking.

Lin Che wanted to go to the Comic Exhibition and see all those pretty Cosplay Big Sisters, too.

But... if he went with Gu Yilan, Luo Xue would definitely boss him around the whole way.

"Never mind, I think I'll stay home..." Lin Che was just about to refuse.

"Luo Xue bought a really expensive Cosplay Costume online, and she's dragging me along to cosplay at the Comic Exhibition~"

But after hearing what Gu Yilan said, Lin Che suddenly couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Gu Yilan in cosplay!

He really wanted to see that!

And if Gu Yilan wore a Cosplay Costume while hypnotizing him...

Lin Che suddenly imagined something wonderful.

"Xiao Che, you have to go with Little Yilan to the Comic Exhibition. It'll be inconvenient for two girls to go cosplay by themselves!"

Lin's Mother was very concerned about the girls' safety, and insisted that Lin Che go with them!

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

This time, Lin Che agreed without hesitation!

"Lin Che, you pervert. You got that excited as soon as you heard I was going to wear a Cosplay Costume, huh~?"

After dinner, Gu Yilan took over Lin Che's bedroom again.

She pretended to sound disgusted, but anyone could hear how pleased she was.

"I'd be even more excited if you didn't wear a Cosplay Costume."

"Pervert!"

Gu Yilan immediately understood what Lin Che was implying, and her adorable face turned bright red!

"If only you weren't all talk..."

Gu Yilan murmured under her breath.

"What did you say?"

Lin Che hadn't heard what Gu Yilan said.

Then the familiar black-and-white spiral appeared before his eyes.

"Lin Che, you pervert. Keep your eyes on the pattern in front of you. Your consciousness is about to fall asleep!"

Here she went again!

Lin Che pretended that his eyes had gone vacant.

The next second, Gu Yilan threw herself into Lin Che's arms!

"But I'm already so happy that you're coming with me to the Comic Exhibition, Big Brother!"

"I have to give you a little reward!"

"Mwah~"

Like a little chick pecking at grain, Gu Yilan kissed Lin Che's face.

At last, her lips moved to his.

Gu Yilan gently bit Lin Che's lip with her pearly white teeth. The slight pain made Lin Che part his lips on reflex.

A sweet warmth slipped through the gap between his teeth.

Gu Yilan was like a little lion who had just learned to hunt. She charged in with great enthusiasm, but had no idea what to do once she was there, clumsily bumping this way and that.

Before, Gu Yilan had only ever brushed her lips against the corner of his mouth!

This time, she was being so bold!

Lin Che's mind went blank!

Lin Che wasn't content to stay passive. He took the initiative into his own hands!

"That's great!"

Gu Yilan was overjoyed.

He'd expected her to realize something was off, but instead, she was even happier!

Lin Che breathed a sigh of relief, too.

It wasn't until they started running short of breath that Gu Yilan reluctantly pulled away.

A silvery thread broke between them, and Gu Yilan's lips looked especially moist and glistening.

The innocent girl's eyes were hazy, her beauty both pure and alluring. She was so breathtaking that it was hard to breathe!

"This is getting weird~"

Gu Yilan kissed him again.

She kissed his earlobe and his cheek, yet deliberately avoided his mouth.

His Adam's apple, his chest, his lower abdomen...

Gu Yilan lowered her youthful, supple body and gathered her long, smooth hair behind her head.

"I have to kiss you here, too~"

Gu Yilan's next move made Lin Che lean back, bracing himself with both hands.

This feeling...

It was as if he were floating among the clouds. Every sensation throughout his body had awakened, and the comfort was indescribable!

Lin Che couldn't help letting out a soft moan.

Just then!

A pleasant ringtone sounded!

Gu Yilan's phone was ringing!

"It's Xiao Xue's video call!"

Gu Yilan paused what she was doing. Lin Che thought she would stop there.

But to his surprise, with the hand that wasn't holding the phone, she began practicing the Standing Pole Stance!

Lin Che's eyes widened!

Could it be that Gu Yilan wanted to...?!

Lin Che had guessed right.

While helping Lin Che "collect his taxes," Gu Yilan answered Luo Xue's video call!

Chapter 17: Curiosity

Even while hypnotized, Lin Che was startled!

By most people's way of thinking, nobody would do something this daring while video chatting with a close friend!

But Gu Yilan... how could she dare?

The innocent girl knelt on the floor. From Lin Che's high vantage point, he could just make out the graceful curve of her waist. Her long legs lay naturally folded beneath her lounge shorts, their soft flesh pressed into an alluring curve.

Her pose, a little like a duck sitting down, was both innocent and seductive—enough to make anyone's heart race!

Especially since the innocent girl held her phone in one hand, while her other hand...

Even Lin Che hadn't expected Gu Yilan to be this bold!

He knew that the front-facing camera would only show Gu Yilan's face.

But the whole situation felt incredibly secretive!

Lin Che's heart pounded. He held his breath, afraid that any sound might alert Luo Xue that something was wrong!

Gu Yilan knew perfectly well that what she was doing wasn't right!

But while collecting educational videos, she'd also learned a little about this sort of thing.

Stopping abruptly wouldn't just leave a guy feeling awful.

It could also affect his health!

So even after answering Luo Xue's video call, Gu Yilan pushed down her embarrassment and carried on!

"Sorry, Xiao Xue!"

Gu Yilan apologized to her best friend in her heart!

"Little Yilan~"

Luo Xue's voice came through the phone, lively and crisp. She had a lovely Loli Voice.

"Why's your face so red? Don't tell me you're having an allergic reaction!"

Only Gu Yilan's face and neck were visible on Luo Xue's screen.

Her best friend's face was flushed an unusual red.

Gu Yilan was usually so cool and aloof at school, and rarely blushed. Luo Xue had never seen her look so bashful before. Her first thought was that her friend might be having an allergic reaction!

After all, even if she racked her brains, Luo Xue would never guess what her best friend was doing while they chatted!

"Is it? Maybe it's a little hot~"

Gu Yilan's gaze darted away, and she didn't dare look straight into the phone's camera.

She was practically doing something naughty right in front of Luo Xue. Her guilt was overwhelming!

Hearing Luo Xue's concerned words only made Gu Yilan more embarrassed.

"Yeah, it really is hot~"

Fortunately, Luo Xue didn't suspect a thing and believed Gu Yilan right away.

"Little Yilan, what are you doing?"

"Me..." Gu Yilan pursed her lips and glanced at Lin Che, who was out of frame.

"I'm applying Essence Lotion, but for some reason, I can't get any out. Maybe the bottle's just hard to use..."

"Right? Packaging these days is so inconvenient."

Luo Xue agreed.

"Why not return it, then? We shouldn't waste money on industrial junk like that!"

Who are you calling junk?!

Lin Che wanted nothing more than to rip Luo Xue's mouth off.

"I can't bear to, and this Essence Lotion works really well. If I squeeze it a few more times, I should be able to get some out..."

Gu Yilan looked reluctant. It seemed that this bottle of Essence Lotion really mattered to her.

"What brand is it, that you're so attached to it, Little Yilan?" Luo Xue's curiosity was piqued. "Let me try it next time~"

"Sure~"

What?!

Gu Yilan's answer made Lin Che's heart pound!
