After Pretending to Fall, They Revealed Their True Faces

Of course, besides that, he also liked Teacher Su.

"Really... really?"

Gu Yilan glanced at Lin Che suspiciously, and after receiving his affirmative gaze.

Gu Yilan completely broke down in tears.

Lin Che took the opportunity to pull her into his arms. This time, Gu Yilan didn't struggle at all. Instead, she reached out her jade-like arms and pulled Lin Che's body closer to her. The girl's plump soufflé pressed tightly against his chest.

"Look at you, your eyes are all swollen from crying."

Lin Che hugged the girl's slender and flexible waist, like a couple in love, and gently kissed away the tears at the corners of Gu Yilan's eyes.

"It's all your fault!"

Gu Yilan turned her face and looked at the mirror on the table.

The beautiful girl in the mirror was weeping, looking pitiful and lovely. Gu Yilan wrinkled her red nose, sniffed back the snot that was about to drip, and rolled her eyes fiercely at Lin Che.

This look of disdain.

She was indeed the usual proud, cold, and pure School Belle.

However, although Gu Yilan's face showed disdain, the strength with which she hugged Lin Che was not small at all, as if she wanted to merge into him.

"Gu Yilan..."

"Hmm?"

"Call me Brother!"

"Bro~"

Gu Yilan's voice became almost inaudible. If anyone in the school saw the cold School Belle acting so obediently, their eyeballs would probably fall out.

Gu Yilan was simply stunning now. The girl's shyness was the best makeup. Her slightly flushed cheeks were as delicate as porcelain, and her bright eyes were full of shyness, exuding a woman's charm.

In a teenage boy's bedroom, it was a perfect picture.

Lin Che's breath hitched, and his heart began to race.

"Little Yilan, you haven't finished what you did to me before!"

"Bro, don't be silly. I know now that the hypnosis was fake. I..." Gu Yilan's face turned as red as blood, "I'm so ashamed!"

"But, I'm very uncomfortable..."

Lin Che's palm exerted force, pressing on Gu Yilan's willow waist, making her hot lower abdomen press against him.

"Okay, I know..."

Gu Yilan rolled her eyes at Lin Che, but in the end, she decided to indulge him.

Chapter 40: Rogue

Half an hour later.

Lin Che and Gu Yilan were already sitting at the dining table.

Neither of them dared to look at each other, burying their heads in their food.

Lin's Mother was accustomed to this scene. She knew that the relationship between these two children was very strange.

They clearly disliked each other, yet they stayed together all day.

"Lin Che, remember to wash the dishes after you finish eating."

"What's wrong? Mom, are you going out?"

"Yes, your maternal grandmother's back injury has flared up again. I'm going to her house to take care of her later."

"Ah? Auntie, is Grandma okay?"

Gu Yilan, who was concentrating on her meal, suddenly showed a look of great concern.

"She's fine. It's just an old ailment that's been bothering her for years. She just has trouble moving and needs someone to look after her. Thank you for your concern, Little Yilan."

Lin's Mother smiled kindly at Gu Yilan.

"While I'm away, I'll have to trouble Little Yilan to take care of my useless son!"

"Leave it to me!"

The two women casually handed over the responsibility of supervising Lin Che, leaving Lin Che dumbfounded.

After dinner, Lin's Mother left the house.

Lin Che was washing dishes in the kitchen.

"Hey, Gu Yilan, come help me wash the dishes too!"

"No way, I'm going home to take a bath... Who told you to..."

Gu Yilan stuck out her tongue at Lin Che. She had been subjected to Shui He Dandan by Lin Che twice and was now feeling very uncomfortable.

She really needed to take a good bath!

Thus, Gu Yilan also left Lin Che's house.

Now… there's only one person left at home!

Lin Che suddenly felt a pang of emotion. Gu Yilan often lingered in his room, greatly reducing Lin Che's alone time.

Now, he finally had time to do what he wanted.

Lin Che quickly washed the dishes, finished his homework, took a hot bath, and changed into a clean pair of pajamas.

Then, he shut himself in his room.

He opened his computer.

Launching! Black Legend: Wukong!

"This time, I'm definitely beating it!"

But just then…

There was a knock on the door.

"Could it be Mom? Why doesn't she have her key?"

Lin Che paused the game he was playing.

He opened the door.

Outside the door wasn't Lin's Mother.

Gu Yilan stood there in a nightgown. The pure cotton fabric subtly revealed the girl's curvaceous figure. Lace patterns adorned the hem, barely covering half her thighs. Beneath the nightgown, two fair, slender legs stood gracefully, her skin crystal clear as if radiating a soft glow.

Lin Che suddenly remembered that before his mother left, she had temporarily handed over her guardianship to Gu Yilan.

Since she was here now, she was probably here to exercise her guardianship rights.

Lin Che drooped his head and invited Gu Yilan into the room.

With her here, she definitely wouldn't allow him to play games outside of vacation time. It looked like he wouldn't be able to play Black Legend: Wukong.

"Brother, are you playing a game?"

"Mm."

Lin Che nodded, about to exit the game and pull out his practice book to study.

But Gu Yilan stopped him.

"It's okay, Brother, you play. I won't tell Mom…"

"Huh?"

Lin Che's expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

The person speaking with such a gentle tone was actually Gu Yilan?

He knew that he had already told Gu Yilan about the fake hypnosis. He had originally thought that Gu Yilan would revert to her annoying old self.

But…

Lin Che turned around and saw Gu Yilan smiling at him.

"Brother, you play. I'll watch you play…"

"Okay."

Lin Che regretted it. If he had known Gu Yilan would turn out like this, he should have told her about the fake hypnosis earlier!

The game was very rich in content. Lin Che couldn't possibly beat it in one night.

In the blink of an eye, it was past midnight.

He had class tomorrow, so he should be sleeping now.

"Gu Yilan, it's time to sleep."

"Mm~"

Gu Yilan nodded, but she remained sitting on Lin Che's bed, showing no intention of moving.

"Gu Yilan, I mean it's time to go home and sleep."

"But I don't want to move anymore. I want to sleep here tonight…"

"No, Gu Yilan, if you sleep in my bed, where will I sleep?"

"You can sleep here too."

Gu Yilan blinked her eyes. There was a hint of shyness in them, but not much.

More than that, it was the girl's obvious ulterior motive.

"Huh?"

Lin Che doubted his own ears?

He hadn't expected that as soon as his mother wasn't home, Gu Yilan would directly want to crawl into his covers!

"This… isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"What's so bad about it? Didn't we sleep together every day when we were kids?"

Gu Yilan's words pulled Lin Che's thoughts back to his childhood. Back then, Gu Yilan was just a snot-nosed little kid, but now...

She had completely blossomed into a well-developed, beautiful teenage girl!

Sharing a bed with a beautiful girl like this was a constant challenge to Lin Che's senses!

"Big brother, do you want me to hypnotize you?"

That wouldn't be necessary.

Lin Che quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, finishing his pre-sleep routine.

Then...

He carefully lay down beside Gu Yilan.

The lights were turned off, and the bedroom plunged into darkness. In the quiet, the two equally tense breaths became exceptionally noticeable.

Could it be...

Was something about to happen now?

Lin Che's heart pounded wildly as a fragrance wafted into his nose.

The scent came from Gu Yilan beside him. He didn't know if it was the scent of her body wash or her natural body fragrance, but it made Lin Che's heart itch.

"Big brother, are you asleep?"

In the darkness, Lin Che only felt a softness on his arm as a rustling sound reached his ears – the friction between pajamas and sheets as she turned over.

The soft sensation pressing on his arm clearly came from Gu Yilan. She turned towards him and whispered in his ear. She seemed oblivious to the fact that she was pressing on Lin Che, or perhaps, it was entirely intentional.

"I'm asleep!"

"Jerk!"

Gu Yilan's tone returned to its familiar disdain. She reached out and ruffled Lin Che's hair messily.
