Seeing the two of them acting so intimately, their bodies practically pressed together, Xiao San clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes brimmed with humiliation and anger, mixed with a few trembling traces of envy.
"Shameless... shameless!!!"
That rude rabbit actually dared treat her Brother Lin like that. Even she had never been so intimate with Brother Lin.
For a moment, jealousy and fury surged within her. Tang San quickly shoved Xiao Wu away and hurriedly helped Lin Yue up from the floor. Her eyes were full of distress, and her voice grew increasingly frantic, even carrying a faint sobbing tone.
"What is she doing? What is she doing!! Brother Lin, are you hurt anywhere? Sob..."
Her fair little hands kept patting Lin Yue all over, as if she wanted to wipe away every trace of that bad rabbit's scent without leaving the slightest bit behind.
"B-Boss is amazing..."
Watching Lin Yue get fought over by two beautiful girls, Wang Sheng and the other work-study students looked at him with utter admiration. Their reverence for Lin Yue only deepened further!
The boss was truly worthy of being the boss. Not only was he powerful, but he could even win over girls so easily. With such little effort, he had made two girls fall for him!
"Hey, how does this count? Did Sister Xiao Wu win?"
Noticing that the atmosphere in the dormitory seemed somewhat strange, Xiao Wu scratched her head. The rabbit ears atop her head drooped slightly, and she was clearly confused.
After gently patting Xiao San's back and soothing the girl, who was so anxious that tears had come out, Lin Yue finally said, "Today doesn't count. If you want to fight, we can accompany you tomorrow."
"Hmph, sure. Sister Xiao Wu accepts challenges anytime. But I want to use that quilt too."
Looking at her completely bare bed, Xiao Wu's face reddened slightly. At this point, she could only point toward that brand-new quilt.
"Boss, how about I contribute mine too? I still have a spare..."
Realizing that all the conflict seemed to stem from that brand-new quilt, Wang Sheng picked up his own blanket, but his gaze was fixed on Lin Yue.
In his heart, although Xiao Wu was powerful, Lin Yue, who had defeated Feng Xiaolin, was unquestionably the true boss of the dormitory. That would never change!
"Pah! Who wants your stinky quilt?"
Thinking Wang Sheng was speaking to her, Xiao Wu raised her brows and haughtily refused. Her eyes remained fixed on the new quilt Lin Yue and Tang San had bought.
"If it really comes down to it, the three of us can sleep together. That quilt is huge anyway."
The three of them sleeping together?!
The moment Sister Xiao Wu said those words, the entire dormitory fell into dead silence.
At that instant, Wang Sheng and the others looked at Lin Yue with admiration that had reached its peak.
Lin Yue's mouth twitched. Covering his face, he had completely run out of words.
Three beds pushed together, sharing one quilt—then what was the point of pushing the beds together? Wouldn't they just be sleeping in one bed?!
Was this some kind of self-deception?
"No!"
Tang San spoke decisively without thinking, spreading her arms to block Lin Yue.
She absolutely would not allow Brother Lin to come into contact with such a strange girl. On their first meeting, she had directly sat on him and refused to get down... she was practically a hooligan!
"Oh, it's fine. At worst, we can put something in the middle to separate us. If we squeeze together, there'll always be enough room."
Xiao Wu seemed to know that three people sharing one quilt was ultimately somewhat improper, and her face reddened as well. But looking at all the smelly quilts in the dormitory, she truly did not want to make do with them.
The two of them smelled really nice. She did not know why, but she actually liked it quite a bit... it felt completely different from ordinary people.
"No..."
Tang San was about to refuse firmly, but then she thought that if the three of them shared a quilt, would that not mean she would have more chances to press close to Brother Lin?
At that thought, Tang San's face flushed crimson. Her pinkish-white fists tightened, and in the end, she spoke with a tremble.
"Fine, but I'm sleeping in the middle!!!"
Brother Lin's body would be... be protected by her!
She had to keep this hateful rabbit separated from him. She absolutely could not let it touch Brother Lin!
"Sure, no problem."
Xiao Wu nodded, feeling that this arrangement was even better. With Xiao San acting as a barrier, she would have it easier.
Thus, following the reconciliation between the two little girls, the three beds were ultimately pushed together.
Fortunately, the quilt was large enough to cover out a fairly spacious area. At the very least, it was more than enough to fit three six-year-old children.
Lying on the bed, Lin Yue shifted farther to the side again, making more room.
Most of his body was practically exposed to the air. He only used one corner of the quilt to cover his stomach, while his entire body lay on another bed.
After all, he could not truly press himself against two little girls. With his mature soul, he was not that perverted.
It was not as if Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were lying beside him. Two little girls would not stir his heart in the slightest. Cough, cough... though Xiao Wu and Third Sister from ten years later would work too...
Still...
Feeling the warmth coming from his right arm, Lin Yue turned his head and saw Xiao San's slightly flushed cheeks. He could not help asking in confusion,
"Xiao San, isn't there plenty of room over there? Why did you move closer? Is Xiao Wu stealing the quilt?"
"N-No... ah, yes, it's all Xiao Wu's fault... she keeps squeezing me..."
(The well-behaved Xiao Wu at the other end: "?")
Tightly hugging Brother Lin's shoulder, Xiao San kept her eyes closed. Her pinkish-white cheeks were rosy, and she curled up while hugging the boy's arm, looking dependent like a docile little beast as she clung to Lin Yue and refused to let go.
Listening to her breathing gradually become steady, watching her long eyelashes tremble faintly before she finally fell asleep, Lin Yue sighed softly to himself.
What a good child...
He suddenly understood why, in the original story, even though Yu Xiaogang was such trash and his ten great spirit theories were riddled with errors, Xiao San still respected him as a teacher.
It was only after becoming a god and realizing just how absurdly wrong Yu Xiaogang had been that Xiao San abandoned him and forbade him from entering the God Realm.
Perhaps... more than a teacher, what Xiao San needed was someone she could rely on.
That useless Tang Hao had never fulfilled his duties as a father. What Tang San wanted was actually just someone who could care for her, someone she could place her emotions upon and regard as a father-like figure.
The reason she could not help immediately kowtowing the moment she took a master was also because she hoped to be treated like a child, to receive more care and affection from an elder... after all, that was an obsession she had longed for across two lifetimes but had never obtained.
And now... Xiao San seemed to have placed all that dependence and longing for affection onto him...
Looking at the peaceful smile on the sleeping girl's face beside him, Lin Yue helplessly raised the corner of his mouth. Yet he did not pull away his arm. He merely closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep...
On a hill a hundred meters away, a pair of despondent eyes saw this scene. The man instantly crushed the wine bottle in his hand, and a trace of unwillingness and fury appeared on his stubbled face.
"Damn it!"
That brat had actually gone and slept in the same bed as Xiao San!!
If Tang San had not initiated everything herself, then even if he had to throw away the dignity of a Titled Douluo, he would still have taught that stinking brat a harsh lesson!
Sigh, Xiao San, Xiao San, why could you not be a little more reserved? What kind of girl threw herself into someone's arms like that...
Taking another swig of wine, the man gritted his teeth and muttered,
"You little bastard, you'd better behave yourself... hmph!"
The next day.
Before the sun had even risen over the horizon, Xiao San's unusually early body clock had already awakened her from sleep.
Opening her eyes and feeling the warmth in her embrace, the little girl raised her head. Looking at Lin Yue's peaceful sleeping face, she felt a powerful sense of peace and happiness rise within her...
Since being reborn into this world... this was the most peacefully she had ever slept...
"Brother Lin..."
Calling softly, Xiao San, her face slightly red, reached out to gently wake the sleeping boy. Instead, she touched his cold skin, which had been exposed to the air all night, and her heart immediately tightened.
Brother Lin... had he given all the space under the quilt to her because he was worried she would not be comfortable...
Sure enough... ever since they were young, he had always taken care of her like this...
Biting her red lips, Tang San looked at the face that made her heart sway and made up her mind.
She had to find an opportunity soon... to let Brother Lin begin cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill as well.
Only then could she live up to the warmth and care he had given her...
