Sharing a Bed

Seeing how intimate the two were, practically pressed together from head to toe, Xiao San clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes brimmed with humiliation and indignation, mixed with a faint, trembling envy.

"Shameless... shameless!!!"

That rude rabbit actually dared to treat Brother Lin Yue like that right in front of her. Even she had never been so intimate with Brother Lin Yue.

In an instant, jealousy and anger surged within her. Tang San quickly shoved Xiao Wu aside and hurriedly helped Lin Yue up from the ground. Her eyes were full of distress, and her voice grew increasingly hurried, even carrying a hint of tears.

"What was she doing? What was she doing?! Brother Lin Yue, are you hurt anywhere? Sob..."

Her fair little palms kept patting Lin Yue all over, as though she wanted to brush 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 all looked at him with reverence. Their admiration for Lin Yue only deepened further.

A boss truly was a boss. Not only was he powerful, but he was also so effortlessly good at winning over girls. He had made two girls fall for him so easily!

"Hey, how does this count? Did Sister Xiao Wu win?"

Sensing that the atmosphere in the dormitory seemed a little strange, Xiao Wu scratched her head. Her rabbit ears drooped slightly, and she was clearly confused.

After gently patting Xiao San's back and soothing the girl who had become so anxious that tears had appeared in her eyes, Lin Yue finally spoke. "Today doesn't count. If you want to fight, we can accompany you tomorrow."

"Hmph, fine. Sister Xiao Wu accepts challenges anytime. But I'm using that quilt too."

Looking at her completely bare bed, Xiao Wu's face reddened slightly. She could only point at the brand-new bedding.

"Boss, how about I contribute mine too? I still have a spare..."

Realizing that all the conflict seemed to stem from that new quilt, Wang Sheng picked up his own bedding, though his gaze was directed at Lin Yue.

In his heart, although Xiao Wu was powerful, Lin Yue, who had defeated Feng Xiaolin, was clearly the true boss of the dormitory. That would never change!

"Pah! Who wants your smelly quilt?"

Assuming Wang Sheng was speaking to her, Xiao Wu raised her brows and proudly refused, staring fixedly at the new bedding 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's words left her mouth, the entire dormitory fell into dead silence.

At that instant, Wang Sheng and the others looked at Lin Yue with reverence that reached its absolute peak.

The corner of Lin Yue's mouth twitched. Covering his face, he had no idea what to say anymore.

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?!

Who was she trying to fool here?

"No!"

Tang San spoke firmly without hesitation and stretched out her arms in front of Lin Yue.

She would not allow Brother Lin Yue to get close to such a strange girl. On their first meeting, she had directly sat on someone and refused to get down... She was practically a hooligan!

"Oh, it's fine. At worst, we can put something between us. If we squeeze in a little, there'll always be room."

Perhaps knowing that three people sharing one quilt was ultimately somewhat inappropriate, Xiao Wu's face reddened too. Yet when she looked at all the other foul-smelling bedding in the dormitory, she truly did not want to settle for any of it.

The two of them smelled very nice. She did not know why, but she actually liked it... It felt completely different from ordinary people.

"No..."

Tang San was about to refuse decisively, but then she thought that if the three of them shared a quilt, wouldn't that mean she would have more chances to press close to Brother Lin Yue?

At that thought, Tang San's face flushed crimson. Her fair little fists clenched, and she finally spoke in a trembling voice.

"Fine, but I'm sleeping in the middle!!!"

Brother Lin Yue's body would be protected by... by her!

She had to keep that hateful rabbit apart from him. She could not let it get close to Brother Lin Yue!

"Sure, I don't mind."

Xiao Wu nodded. Instead, she thought this arrangement was ideal. With Xiao San serving as a barrier, she would be much more at ease.

Thus, with the two little girls reconciling, the three beds were ultimately pushed together.

Fortunately, the quilt was large enough to cover a fairly spacious area. At the very least, it was more than enough to accommodate three six-year-old children.

Lying on the bed, Lin Yue shifted farther to the side again, making more room.

Nearly half of his body was 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 together with two little girls. With a mature soul, he was not that perverted.

It was not as if Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were lying beside him. His heart would not stir because of two little girls. Ahem, though Xiao Wu and Third Sister from ten years later would work too...

However...

Feeling warmth against his right arm, Lin Yue turned his head and saw Xiao San's slightly flushed face. 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?"

"No... Ah, yes, it's all Xiao Wu's fault... She keeps squeezing me..."

(On the other end, the well-behaved Xiao Wu: "?")

Holding tightly onto Brother Lin's arm, Xiao San kept her eyes shut. Her fair, rosy cheeks glowed red as she curled up against the young man's arm, looking like a docile little beast clinging to Lin Yue and refusing to let go.

Listening as her breathing gradually steadied, watching her long lashes tremble faintly before she finally fell asleep, Lin Yue sighed softly in his heart.

What a good child...

He suddenly understood why, in the original work, Xiao San had still revered trash like Yu Xiaogang as her teacher despite the man's Ten Core Spirit Master Theories being riddled with errors.

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 to rely on.

That useless Tang Hao had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. What Tang San truly wanted was someone who could care for her, someone upon whom she could place her emotions, someone she could regard as a father.

The fact that she could not help immediately kowtowing upon becoming someone's disciple also came from her hope of being treated as a child, of receiving more care and affection from an elder... After all, it was an obsession she had longed for over two lifetimes and never obtained.

And now... Xiao San seemed to have placed all of that dependence and longing for affection onto him...

Looking at the girl's peaceful sleeping face and gentle smile 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 drifted into sleep...

On a hill a hundred meters away, a pair of despondent eyes witnessed this scene. The man instantly crushed the wine bottle in his hand, and traces of resentment and anger surfaced on his unshaven 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, he would have taught that brat a harsh lesson even if it meant throwing away the dignity of a Titled Douluo!

Ah, Xiao San, Xiao San, why couldn't you show a little more restraint? What girl threw herself into a boy's arms like this...

Taking another gulp of wine, the man muttered through gritted teeth,

"You brat, you'd better behave yourself... Hmph!"

The next day.

Before the sun had even risen above the horizon, Xiao San's unusually early body clock had already awakened her.

Opening her eyes and feeling the warmth in her embrace, the little girl raised her head. Looking at Lin Yue's peaceful sleeping face, a powerful sense of tranquility and happiness welled up in her heart...

Since being reborn into this world... this was the most peacefully she had slept...

"Brother Lin Yue..."

Calling softly, Xiao San's flushed face deepened in color as she reached out, about to gently wake the sleeping young man. But her hand touched his skin, which had been exposed to the air all night and had turned cold, and her heart immediately tightened.

Brother Lin... had he given all the space beneath the quilt to her because he was worried she would not be comfortable...

Sure enough... ever since they were young, he had always cared for 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 as soon as possible... to let Brother Lin Yue begin cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill as well.

Only then could she repay the warmth and care he had given her...
