Girls’ Dormitory, fifth floor, Room 510.
The door was closed. The curtains were drawn. The lights were off. But no one was asleep.
Three people were squeezed onto the bed. Lin Xian’er was leaning against the headboard. On the left, Cheng Xue was lying on her stomach, pillowing her head on Lin Xian’er’s lap. On the right, Ye Ling was leaning against her, her face pressed against Lin Xian’er’s shoulder. The three were squeezed onto a small bed, but none of them felt cramped.
Cheng Xue turned over. “Xian’er, why did you come back so late tonight?”
Lin Xian’er reached out and touched her hair. “I stayed at the library for a while.”
Ye Ling squinted. “With who?”
Lin Xian’er smiled. “A few freshmen.”
Cheng Xue lifted her head. “Boys or girls?”
“Both.”
Ye Ling frowned. “Boys? Since when are you interested in guys?”
Lin Xian’er blinked. “Mission requirement.”
Cheng Xue and Ye Ling exchanged a glance. Then they both looked at Lin Xian’er.
Cheng Xue: “Another mission from your Ability?”
Lin Xian’er nodded.
Ye Ling sighed. “What is it this time?”
Lin Xian’er thought for a moment. “Conquest of a boy named Lin Mo.”
Cheng Xue froze. “A guy?”
“Mm.”
Ye Ling also froze. “Don’t you not like guys?”
Lin Xian’er smiled. “I don’t like him, but I have to do it. The reward from my Ability is generous.” She paused. “And not just him. Also the girls around him.”
Cheng Xue blinked. “Girls?”
“Yeah. Shen Qingyue, Li Tingting, Zhou Duoduo, Wang Xue… a bunch of people.”
Ye Ling was stunned. “You have to conquer a bunch of people?”
Lin Xian’er nodded. “The mission objective is—everyone who has a close relationship with him.”
Cheng Xue, lying on her lap, looked up at her. “Do you need our help?”
Lin Xian’er looked down at her. “Of course I do.” She reached out and pinched Cheng Xue’s cheek. “You’re my wives. If you don’t help me, who will?”
Cheng Xue blushed.
Ye Ling snorted softly beside them. “Who’s your wife…”
Lin Xian’er smiled. She reached over and pulled Ye Ling into an embrace too. “Both of you are.”
The three huddled together. Cheng Xue leaned into her arms. Ye Ling also leaned in.
They were quiet for a moment. Then Cheng Xue suddenly lifted her head. She brushed her lips against Lin Xian’er’s. Softly. Gently. Then pulled back.
Lin Xian’er was startled for a second, then smiled. She reached out and cupped Cheng Xue’s chin. Leaned in. This time it wasn’t gentle. Cheng Xue closed her eyes. A long time passed before they parted. A thin, silvery strand stretched between them.
Ye Ling watched from the side, her face already bright red. “You, you two…”
Lin Xian’er turned to her. “Come here.”
Ye Ling shook her head. “I… I won’t…”
Lin Xian’er smiled. She reached out and pulled Ye Ling over. Ye Ling struggled a little but couldn’t break free.
Lin Xian’er looked at her. “Really don’t want to?”
Ye Ling turned her face away. “No…”
Lin Xian’er leaned in. She lightly brushed her lips against Ye Ling’s. Then pulled back.
Ye Ling froze, her face even redder.
Lin Xian’er smiled. “Alright, I’ll stop teasing you.”
Ye Ling kept her head down, not speaking. But after a moment, she stealthily leaned in. She brushed Lin Xian’er’s lips once. Then quickly pulled back.
Cheng Xue laughed from the side. “Ling’er, you said you didn’t want it.”
Ye Ling glared at her. “Shut up!”
The three of them started messing around again.
When they’d had enough, Cheng Xue lay on her stomach on Lin Xian’er’s lap. “Xian’er, this Lin Mo you mentioned… what’s his ability?”
Lin Xian’er thought. “I don’t know. His file says 0.1, no special ability.”
Ye Ling was startled. “0.1? That means he’s just an ordinary person?”
Lin Xian’er nodded. “Yeah. But it’s strange.”
Cheng Xue asked, “What’s strange?”
Lin Xian’er shook her head. “Can’t put my finger on it. I just feel he’s not quite the same.”
What she didn’t say was—She had used her Ability on Lin Mo, and the effect was very weak. That was abnormal. Her [Causality Weaving] was SS-rank. It should have been extremely effective on an ordinary person. But Lin Mo… It was like he didn’t react at all.
Cheng Xue didn’t think much of it. She yawned. “Whatever, just do your best. Call me if you need a fight.”
Ye Ling also yawned. “Call me if you need healing.”
Lin Xian’er smiled and hugged them tighter. “Good. You two are my aces.” She paused. “By the way, how are your abilities coming along?”
Ye Ling’s eyes lit up. “Great! I can break five bricks with one punch now.”
Cheng Xue rolled her eyes. “All you know is fighting.”
Ye Ling was defiant. “I’m a combat type! Not like you, always healing.”
Cheng Xue snorted. “What’s wrong with healing? Without me, you’d have been down a long time ago.”
Lin Xian’er smiled as she watched them bicker.
Ye Ling’s ability was [Enhancement System · A-Rank]. Simply put, it enhanced her strength, speed, and agility. Pure combat type. When fighting, she could take on ten people alone.
Cheng Xue’s ability was [Healing System · A-Rank]. She looked gentle, with wavy hair, and spoke softly. A typical healer type. She could treat wounds, relieve pain, and speed up recovery. The two complemented each other well, one offense and one support.
Lin Xian’er often thought—If she weren’t SS-rank, she could still bulldoze her way through relying on these two alone.
Cheng Xue suddenly thought of something. “Hey, Xian’er, about that Lin Mo… if he teams up with me, what if my healing doesn’t work on him?”
Lin Xian’er was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
Cheng Xue blinked. “Isn’t he 0.1? What if his special ability has no effect, and I can’t heal him? My healing has always been for ability users. I don’t even know if it works on ordinary people.”
Ye Ling was also curious. “Right. If his ability is useless, then Cheng Xue’s healing is wasted. After all, even ‘You Rong’ would feel inferior next to Cheng Xue’s chest.”
Cheng Xue: “Who’s You Rong? ‘You Rong Nai Da’?”
Ye Ling laughed. “Hee hee hee.”
Lin Xian’er thought for a moment before getting it and also laughed. “Hee hee hee.”
Cheng Xue’s face turned crimson, and she said weakly, “We’re talking seriously. You’re teasing me again. If you keep this up, next time you get hurt, I won’t heal you.”
Ye Ling’s expression returned to normal. She thought for a moment, then sighed. “Forget it. We’ll deal with it when the time comes. Anyway, since he has no ability, he doesn’t need to participate in our missions. He can just help manage Xian’er’s harem girls. Yeah, that’s his role.”
(Author’s note: That depends on Lin Mo’s mood. If he wants to be healed, the ability works; if he wants to avoid healing, no one can heal him. After all, he’s cheating.)
Cheng Xue didn’t hear the author’s complaint. She yawned again. “Let’s sleep, let’s sleep. We have class tomorrow.”
Ye Ling was also sleepy. The three lay down again. Cheng Xue rested her head on Lin Xian’er’s arm. Ye Ling hugged her from behind. The three squeezed together like three cats.
After a while, Cheng Xue leaned in again and brushed Lin Xian’er’s lips. “Mm, so sweet.”
Ye Ling wasn’t to be outdone. She kissed Lin Xian’er on the cheek. “So fragrant.”
Lin Xian’er smiled. She kissed each of them on the forehead. “Good night.”
The room fell quiet. Then, if one observed carefully, one would notice that although the three appeared calm, their sleeping faces gradually flushed red. Under the blanket, there seemed to be constant trembling. There were also some indescribable things. And some hard-to-describe muffled sounds, sounds that seemed both pained and happy.
