Cheeky

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

"R-really?"

Gu Yilan gave Lin Che a suspicious look. When he met her gaze and nodded firmly,

Gu Yilan burst into tears.

Lin Che took the opportunity to pull her into his arms. This time, Gu Yilan didn't struggle at all. Instead, she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him close, her soft, full breasts pressed tightly against his chest.

"Look at you. Your eyes are all swollen from crying."

Holding the girl by her slender, supple waist like a couple deeply in love, Lin Che gently kissed away the tears at the corners of Gu Yilan's eyes.

"This is all your fault!"

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

The beautiful girl in the mirror looked pitiful, tears like pear blossoms in the rain. Gu Yilan scrunched up her red nose, sniffed back the runny nose that was about to drip, and rolled her eyes at Lin Che.

That disdainful look—

she really was the usual haughty, aloof, pure School Belle.

But though Gu Yilan's face showed disdain, her arms were wrapped tightly around Lin Che, as if she wanted to melt into him.

"Gu Yilan..."

"Hmm?"

"Call me big brother!"

"Big bro~"

Gu Yilan's voice was barely audible. If anyone at school saw the aloof School Belle acting so obediently, their eyes would probably pop out of their heads.

Gu Yilan was simply breathtaking right now. A young woman's bashfulness was the best makeup there was: her cheeks were faintly flushed and as delicate as could be, and her lively eyes brimmed with shyness. She had all the charm of a young woman.

It was a perfect picture in any teenage boy's bedroom.

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

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

"Big bro, quit acting crazy. I know the hypnosis was fake now. I..." Gu Yilan's face turned crimson. "I'm embarrassed!"

"But I'm having a hard time..."

Lin Che tightened his grip on Gu Yilan's slender waist, pressing her hot lower belly against him.

"Fine, I get it..."

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

Half an hour later.

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

Neither dared to look at the other. They kept their heads down and focused on their food.

Lin's Mother had seen this sort of thing so often that it no longer surprised her. She knew the relationship between the two was strange.

They clearly couldn't stand each other, yet they spent every day together.

"Lin Che, remember to wash the dishes after we eat."

"What's up, Mom? Are you going out?"

"Yeah. Your grandma's back is acting up again, so I'm going to her place to take care of her."

"Oh? Auntie, is Grandma all right?"

Gu Yilan, who had been eating intently, suddenly looked very concerned.

"She's fine. It's just an old problem she's had for years. She's having trouble getting around and needs someone to look after her. Thanks for asking, Little Yilan."

Lin's Mother gave Gu Yilan a warm smile.

"While I'm gone, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on my good-for-nothing son, Little Yilan!"

"Leave it to me!"

The two women arranged between themselves for Gu Yilan to be in charge of Lin Che, leaving him dumbfounded on the sidelines.

After dinner, Lin's Mother left the house.

Lin Che washed the dishes in the kitchen.

"Hey, Gu Yilan, come help me with the dishes!"

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

Gu Yilan stuck out her tongue at Lin Che. Lin Che had made her squirt twice already, and she was feeling very uncomfortable now.

She needed a proper bath!

So Gu Yilan left Lin Che's house too.

Now... he was all alone at home!

Lin Che suddenly felt a little wistful. Gu Yilan was always hanging around in his room, leaving him far less time to himself.

At last, he had time to do what he wanted.

Lin Che hurriedly finished the dishes and his homework, then took a hot shower and changed into a clean set of pajamas.

After that, he shut himself in his room.

He turned on the computer.

Launch! Black Legend: Wukong!

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

But just then...

There was a knock at the door.

"Could Mom be back? Why didn't she bring her keys?"

Lin Che paused his game.

He opened the front door.

It wasn't Lin's Mother standing outside.

Gu Yilan stood there in a nightgown. The cotton fabric faintly outlined her curvy figure, and the lace trim on the hem only covered half her thighs. Beneath it, her long, pale legs stood slender and graceful, her luminous skin seeming to shimmer.

Only then did Lin Che remember that before leaving, his mother had temporarily handed over responsibility for him to Gu Yilan.

She was probably here to exercise her authority as his guardian.

Lin Che drooped his head and invited Gu Yilan inside.

With her here, she definitely wouldn't let him play games outside of vacation time. It looked like Black Legend: Wukong wasn't happening.

"Big bro, are you playing a game?"

"Yeah."

Lin Che nodded, ready to quit the game and pull out his workbook to do some practice problems.

But Gu Yilan stopped him.

"It's fine, big bro. Go ahead and play. I won't tell Mom..."

"Huh?"

Lin Che looked as if he'd seen a ghost.

The person speaking so gently was actually Gu Yilan?

Now that he'd told Gu Yilan that the hypnosis had been fake, he'd expected her to go back to being as annoying as before.

But...

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

"Big bro, go ahead and play. I'll watch from the side..."

"Okay."

Lin Che regretted it. If he'd known Gu Yilan would turn out like this, he should've told her sooner that the hypnosis was fake!

The game had plenty of content, and Lin Che couldn't possibly beat it in one night.

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

He had class tomorrow, so it was time to go to bed.

"Gu Yilan, time for bed."

"Mm~"

Gu Yilan nodded, but she stayed seated on Lin Che's bed, with no intention of moving.

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

"But I don't feel like moving. I want to sleep here tonight..."

"Wait, Gu Yilan. If you sleep in my bed, where am I supposed to sleep?"

"Why don't you sleep here too?"

Gu Yilan blinked. There was a little shyness in her eyes, but not much.

Mostly, she looked like a young woman whose intentions were written all over her face.

"Huh?"

Lin Che wondered if he'd heard her right.

He hadn't expected that as soon as his mother left, Gu Yilan would try to climb straight into his bed!

"Wouldn't that be... a little inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? Didn't we sleep together every day when we were little?"

Gu Yilan's words carried Lin Che back to their childhood. Back then, she'd been a little brat with a runny nose, but now...

She'd grown into a beautiful, well-developed young woman!

Sharing a bed with a beauty like her was a constant challenge to Lin Che's senses!

"Big bro, do you want me to hypnotize you again?"

No, he did not.

Lin Che quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, finishing his bedtime routine.

Then...

He carefully lay down beside Gu Yilan.

The lights went out, plunging the bedroom into darkness. In the stillness, the two of them breathed in equally nervous rhythms, their breaths suddenly all the more noticeable.

Could it be...

that they were about to do something now?

Lin Che's heart raced, and a heady fragrance drifted into his nose.

The scent came from Gu Yilan beside him. He couldn't tell whether it was her body wash or her natural fragrance, but it made him itch with anticipation.

"Big bro, are you asleep?"

In the darkness, Lin Che felt something soft against his arm. Rustling sounds came from beside him as her pajamas brushed against the bedsheets when she turned over.

The softness pressing against his arm clearly came from Gu Yilan. She rolled onto her side and whispered in his ear. She seemed oblivious to the way her breasts were pressing against Lin Che—or perhaps she was doing it on purpose.

"I'm asleep!"

"Idiot!"

Gu Yilan's tone returned to its familiar disdain. She reached out and mussed Lin Che's hair until it was a complete mess.
