I Became a Spirit in Date A Live and Refused to Date

Besides, sleeping beside a beautiful girl might have been a little too much for a high schooler like Shido.

Noticing his speechless expression, Lingmeng clapped her hands as though she had just realized something.

"Oh—don't get the wrong idea. I only mean sleeping beside me. Just sleeping, nothing more."

He was a healthy high school boy, after all. He couldn't suppress
