Sharing the Same Bed

They bickered and teased each other all the way.

Before long, the two returned to the Seventh Dorm.

By the time they stepped into the Seventh Dorm, the sky had nearly darkened. In the shadows of the dormitory building, a tall, dark figure slowly vanished.

"Boss, Sister Xiao Wu! You're back."

As soon as they entered, someone greeted Ye Qiu and the other.

"Mm!"

Ye Qiu responded faintly. He had walked a lot today and was already tired, lacking much energy.

"Mm-hmm. Sister Xiao Wu is back!"

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was still full of energy. With a candy in her mouth, she had forgotten her earlier unhappiness, a smile on her face.

Ye Qiu tossed a full set of bedding onto Xiao Wu's empty bed. After arranging the bedding on the adjacent bed, he picked up the quilt and carried it back. He then lay down on his freshly made bed, exhaling a breath of relief.

"Phew~ Lying down is so comfortable!"

Tang San, who had already made his bed, had finished dinner with dry rations and water.

He was sitting cross-legged on his bed, meditating.

Upon hearing the greetings of the other students, he opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was the charming Xiao Wu.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was standing by the bed, looking longingly at the quilt Ye Qiu had taken.

Holding the candy in her mouth, she glanced around, then quickly and with a blush made her own bed.

Then, under the astonished gazes of Tang San, Wang Sheng, and the others, she placed her hands on the edge of the bed and forcefully pushed her bed towards Ye Qiu's until the two beds were side-by-side.

Tang San watched this scene, puzzled.

Having learned his lesson about being met with indifference, he no longer asked Xiao Wu but turned to Ye Qiu.

"Ye Qiu, what's going on?"

Unfortunately, Ye Qiu was too lazy to speak this time.

After a long silence, seeing that Ye Qiu didn't answer, Tang San couldn't help but frown.

Xiao Wu rubbed her backside. Hearing his question, just as she was about to answer, Ye Qiu suddenly got up.

"Xiao San, can't you tell? That silly rabbit doesn't have a quilt to cover herself with!"

"Ye Qiu~"

Xiao Wu, who was about to pull the quilt between them, immediately frowned and softly called out to Ye Qiu, signaling him not to call her a silly rabbit.

"Even so, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you two to share a quilt?"

Tang San looked at Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu strangely.

Xiao Wu spread out the quilt and said arrogantly, "Nonsense! What's inappropriate about it? The quilt Ye Qiu bought is very big. Look. It almost covers both beds!"

"Alright, alright."

Black lines appeared on Tang San's forehead. Since Xiao Wu, the person involved, didn't mind, why should he worry?

"It's all your fault!"

Ye Qiu glared at Xiao Wu impatiently. As he lay down, he suddenly remembered that he had not only failed to buy a second quilt but had also forgotten to buy a pillow in his anger.

"I, I didn't do it on purpose."

Xiao Wu stammered for a moment, then huffily lowered her head and started tidying her things.

Wang Sheng and the others looked even more surprised, feeling that Xiao Wu seemed to have changed quite a bit after going out.

Plop!

A small box suddenly landed on the quilt in front of Xiao Wu. It was the ointment Ye Qiu had bought.

Ye Qiu's instructions followed.

"Later, after you take a bath, apply it to your butt yourself, then apply it to your eyes in front of a mirror. If there's no mirror, I can help, provided I'm not asleep."

"Mm-hmm, Sister Xiao Wu understands."

Xiao Wu nodded obediently, holding the ointment in her hand.

"Wang Sheng, where is the bathroom?"

Although Xiao Wu's injuries on her hips and waist had healed, Ye Qiu still mentioned it.

After speaking, he picked up his school uniform, asked for the direction of the bathroom, and walked out the door.

Xiao Wu looked at the ointment in her hand and pouted.

She raised her head and looked towards the door, immediately noticing the gazes of others fixed on her. She felt a surge of shame and anger.

She shouted, "What are you looking at? Keep looking and Sister Xiao Wu will kick your butts!"

Wang Sheng and the others quickly averted their gazes, startled.

It was just my imagination earlier, Sister Xiao Wu hasn't changed at all!

Night gradually enveloped the land.

Most of the students in the Seventh Dorm had finished their evening ablutions.

Xiao Wu returned to the dorm with her hair down, her fair and rosy cheeks and waist-length black-red hair giving her a unique charm.

Tang San, who had never interacted with girls before, stared blankly, as did Wang Sheng and the others.

"Hmph, what are you looking at?!"

Xiao Wu let out a soft snort and glared at them. Seeing them avert their gazes, she quickly walked to her bed.

Ye Qiu was sitting cross-legged on the bed, trying to circulate the Soul Power flow he had obtained from Xiao Wu's memory, cultivating.

"Ye Qiu, what should we do since we don't have pillows?"

Xiao Wu, whose eyes felt cool after just applying the ointment, was lying on the quilt, her delicate feet dangling, hands propping up her chin. She looked at Ye Qiu with a blush.

Ye Qiu responded without opening his eyes, "Just make do with your clothes for now. I don't have enough money either. After we register as Soul Masters following the spirit hunt in a few days, I'll buy two."

After speaking, Ye Qiu opened his eyes. He didn't look at Xiao Wu, but rather at his own hands. Feeling the slight increase in Soul Power within him, a smile bloomed on his face.

"Alright!"

Xiao Wu nodded helplessly and got up, folding her old clothes twice.

A cloth pad floated out. Xiao Wu paused, then gently picked it up, placing it along with the ointment Ye Qiu had bought into her pink satchel.

As soon as she looked up, she found Ye Qiu lying on his side on the bed, propping his head with one hand, watching her with interest.

Xiao Wu's face immediately flushed. With a blush, she placed her small bag between their two beds.

"You can't cross the line tonight. Otherwise... otherwise..."

Xiao Wu wanted to say something threatening, but then she remembered that Ye Qiu had leverage over her, and she couldn't beat him anyway. She fell silent, unable to utter any harsh words.

"Tch! I'm not interested in little kids like you."

Ye Qiu pouted, placed his own bag at the head of the bed between them, then directly lifted the quilt and lay down, closing his eyes.

"..."

Xiao Wu scowled and shook her fist at Ye Qiu, who had his eyes closed, before also lying down under the quilt.

She sniffed and suddenly caught a sweet scent. Turning her head towards Ye Qiu, she quickly realized the aroma was wafting from Ye Qiu's bag.

Her crimson eyes flickered; she had already guessed what was inside.

The sound of roosters crowing could be heard outside. A sliver of light shone through the windows of the Seventh Dorm.

"Ah~"

Xiao Wu, who was lying on top of Ye Qiu, yawned and slowly opened her eyes, retracting the small hands that were around Ye Qiu's neck. She rubbed her sleepy eyes.

Smiling, she greeted Ye Qiu, who was beneath her:

"Good morning, Ye Qiu!"

Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
