Ling Xiaoyou ultimately chose to accept Bai Shuanglian’s suggestion and sleep with her.
It wasn’t that she found the method reliable, but rather that she had no other choice.
After all, having someone by her side was much better than facing her anxiety alone in her own room!
As for anything else… it certainly wasn’t because she wanted to sleep with Bai Shuanglian!
After changing into her pyjamas, Ling Xiaoyou didn’t choose to tie them up this time.
Instead, she let the oversized garment cover her petite body.
Although this might cause the top to slip off her shoulders, it at least gave her a slight sense of security.
She hadn’t forgotten the perverted behavior Bai Shuanglian had displayed when she first appeared!
She didn’t know which wire in her brain had crossed to make her agree to the suggestion.
Lying on the large bed, Ling Xiaoyou turned on her side, facing away from Bai Shuangda as she thought.
It was already late at night, but Ling Xiaoyou didn’t feel sleepy at all.
On the contrary, she even felt a bit… excited?
‘What exactly am I getting excited for!’
Ling Xiaoyou felt her emotions were quite ridiculous; who would feel like this in the middle of the night?
She tossed and turned in bed.
Fortunately, she had tucked herself in tightly.
With how much she was moving, she would have kicked the blanket onto the floor if she hadn’t, though Bai Shuanglian sleeping beside her wouldn’t have let that happen anyway.
‘Gah! I still can’t sleep!’
Ling Xiaoyou picked up her mobile phone and checked the time in the darkness.
It was already 12:00 AM.
Even for young people who often stayed up late, this was not early.
‘Mmph, I have to fall asleep. The Xuantian Martial Tournament starts tomorrow. I need to recharge my energy tonight!’
With that thought, Ling Xiaoyou cleared her mind and prepared to settle down.
However, the faint, warm breath hitting the back of her neck made it impossible to calm down.
It even made her face flush involuntarily.
Glancing fiercely at Bai Shuanglian, who seemed to be already asleep, Ling Xiaoyou flipped over.
She decided to sleep facing Bai Shuanglian.
This way, she wouldn’t be breathing on her neck!
Her idea was good in theory.
Even if Bai Shuanglian’s breath hit her face, it wasn’t as awkward as it hitting her sensitive neck.
But…
Ling Xiaoyou suddenly snapped her eyes open.
Looking at Bai Shuanglian’s exquisite, beautiful face — looking so dreamlike under the faint moonlight outside the window — she felt her own face heating up.
‘Ugh… Why do you have to be so good-looking? How am I supposed to sleep peacefully like this!’
With a red face, Ling Xiaoyou acted out of desperation.
She shrunk down and dove directly under the covers, no longer facing the Celestial Maiden-like Bai Shuanglian.
Looking into the lightless void under the blanket, she finally felt satisfied.
‘I should finally be able to sleep peacefully now, right?’
She closed her eyes, a pleasant smile playing on her lips as she prepared to drift off.
Suddenly, her cute, elegant eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Ling Xiaoyou opened her eyes and looked around.
She seemed to smell a pleasant, ghostly fragrance — cool like mint, but mixed with a milky scent.
‘What is this smell? It smells nice, but where is it coming from?’
Doubts emerged in her heart.
Ling Xiaoyou activated her Night Vision and prepared to search for the source of the scent under the covers.
But she didn’t need to search for the source at all; it was right in front of her.
Her face instantly turned beet red, and steam almost billowed from her head.
She was utterly speechless.
Before her was an unbuttoned pajama top, the snowy cleavage beneath it, and the white mounds she both envied and desired!
Not daring to look any longer, Ling Xiaoyou emerged from the covers with a crimson face, gasping for air like a drowning person.
Then, her delicate body scrambled outward, trying to distance herself from Bai Shuanglian.
She only relaxed once there was half a bed’s distance between them.
Only then did she have the leisure to think about what she had just seen.
That snowy delicacy, that wonderful fragrance… without a doubt, it was that!
Ling Xiaoyou covered her burning face with her small hands.
She was completely flushed.
She never imagined that simply trying to sleep would result in seeing such a beautiful sight.
Fortunately, although it was a distracting sight, she had seen it before, so she wasn’t too agitated.
Otherwise, she really wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight!
After a long while, Ling Xiaoyou finally suppressed the restlessness in her heart.
She glanced at Bai Shuanglian sleeping on the other side and turned over.
She didn’t plan on going back, deciding to just stay far away and sleep there.
‘This way, she won’t be able to interfere with my sleep!’
With that thought, she closed her eyes and adjusted her posture.
‘Mhm, this feels pretty good. No distractions, nothing trying to tempt me. I feel like I can fall asleep!’
The corners of her mouth curled up.
She felt she would be under soon.
Time passed slowly.
Perhaps ten minutes, perhaps half an hour, perhaps even an hour.
Suddenly, Ling Xiaoyou opened her eyes again.
‘Why! Can’t! I! Sleep!’
This shouldn’t be happening.
Without any distractions, shouldn’t she have fallen asleep quickly?
Her little head was full of confusion.
She closed her eyes again, trying to feel her inner thoughts.
But in the end, her inner thoughts were just her own; they couldn’t speak and give her an answer.
‘Ugh, this is so annoying! Why can’t I just fall asleep!’
Finally driven mad by insomnia, Ling Xiaoyou thrashed around in self-abandonment to vent her frustration.
Afterward, she lay on the bed like a salted fish, motionless.
To be fair, there was one piece of good news: she wasn’t nervous anymore.
But the bad news was that she was very irritable because she couldn’t sleep.
After venting, regret set in.
She wasn’t sleeping alone; Bai Shuanglian was right there.
It would be bad if she disturbed her!
Tilting her head, Ling Xiaoyou looked at Bai Shuanglian, worried if her actions had startled her awake.
Fortunately, Bai Shuang seemed to be in a deep sleep.
Even with such a large commotion, she hadn’t woken up.
This allowed Ling Xiaoyou to breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, her gaze focused on Bai Shuang.
Looking at that beautiful face and recalling the glimpse she caught under the covers, a bold suggestion suddenly surfaced.
Since she couldn’t sleep anyway, why not move to a more comfortable and warm position?
In the dead of night, when no one else is awake, bold ideas that one wouldn’t dare consider during the day often pop up, and people find the courage to try them.
Once the idea appeared, it quickly took over her mind.
She stole a glance at Bai Shuanglian, worried she might wake up and notice.
Seeing no reaction, Ling Xiaoyou quietly moved toward her like a guilty thief and carefully burrowed into her arms.
Like a Little Cat that had successfully stolen a fish, she narrowed her eyes, the corners of her mouth curling up happily.
The sensation of warmth and softness entered her mind, causing her consciousness to gradually sink.
Soon, steady, light breathing followed.
Ling Xiaoyou had successfully entered the land of dreams.
After a short while, Bai Shuanglian quietly opened her eyes.
With a hint of a smile in her gaze, she looked at Ling Xiaoyou.
She reached out an arm, pulling the tiny Spirit into her embrace, and joined her in that Meimeng.
