“I knew it! I knew it!”
When Lin Xing came out of the shower and saw the tightly closed Main Gate of his master bedroom, he had already expected this.
However, seeing the result before his eyes still made him feel a bit emotional.
Staring at the door, Lin Xing tentatively reached out and pulled the handle.
What if? What if she had left it unlocked for him?
…Fine, there was no “what if.”
As expected, the door was locked.
He curled his lip and couldn’t help but mutter indignantly to himself.
‘Darn it, where is the trust between people! Where is the integrity!’
In reality, Lumiya had been leaning against the door for a long time, watching to see if Lin Xing actually dared to come.
She hadn’t expected to actually hear movement at the door, but… why wasn’t he coming in after standing there for so long?
She hadn’t even locked the door!
Did he expect her to invite him in? No matter how you looked at it, she was a girl now!
Just then, Little Green, who was standing nearby, seemed to remember something.
“Um…” she said weakly. “When I came in… I think I might have pulled the door shut…”
Lumiya froze. She gave Little Green an annoyed glare, but her hands moved quickly to open the door for Lin Xing.
Regardless of anything else, the great Lumiya would never be someone who went back on her word!
*Thud!*
The bedroom door swung open.
Lin Xing keenly noticed that the Lumiya who emerged had changed into a silk pajama set identical to Little Green’s.
The only difference was that unlike Little Green, there was a noticeable curve at Lumiya’s chest.
Unaware that Lin Xing’s eyes were drifting toward her chest, Lumiya spoke with the annoyance she felt earlier and her dissatisfaction with him.
“What are you muttering about? If you want to come in, why didn’t you say something? Am I the kind of person who doesn’t keep their word?”
“How could I… how could I… I was just passing by. Don’t misunderstand…”
Lin Xing waved his hands frantically in refusal.
He didn’t want Lumiya and Little Green to think of him as some kind of pervert.
At the very least, he had to refuse on the surface.
“Stop pretending! It’s just sleeping, what’s the big deal? Isn’t building a close bond with your Beast also part of the school curriculum?”
Lumiya looked with disdain at Lin Xing, who refused with his words but didn’t budge an inch with his feet. she exposed him without hesitation.
What was this guy pretending for? Hadn’t she been a guy before? He probably wanted to come in so badly he was about to burst!
“That would be so embarrassing,” Lin Xing said, still trying to maintain some dignity.
“Then don’t come in!” Lumiya closed the door bluntly, but she still left a small crack open.
“Wait, wait, wait! Don’t!”
Seeing that she had left the door ajar for him, Lin Xing stopped being reserved. Since Lumiya had put it that way, it would make him look like he didn’t understand the mood if he didn’t go in.
With a swift move, he slipped into the bedroom. He was immediately greeted by… the scent of the same shower gel he used.
The Room was a mess! Dirty! Chaotic! Clothing was scattered everywhere, and snack wrappers were tossed aside randomly!
It had only been one day, right?! They had only been staying at the Seaside Guesthouse for one day, right?!
How did these two manage to turn the Room into such a disaster? A pigsty would look like this!
“I’m sorry, Lumiya, Little Green. I have reflected deeply on this, and I’ve decided to go back to my own Room to sleep! I shouldn’t be in the same Room as beautiful girls like you!”
He finished his lines like a robot, then turned around to leave. He completely ignored the two beautiful girls who were already lying on the bed and beckoning him over.
He couldn’t stay! He couldn’t stay in this Room for even a second!
Lumiya and Little Green, who were lying on the bed and waving, were stunned.
Neither of them expected Lin Xing to decisively turn down such a rare opportunity.
They looked at each other.
They seemed to feel a sense of humiliation.
It was as if they could see each other’s faces turning red, and even their noses were flushed with frustration.
“Lin Xing! Get back here!” “Lin Xing! Come back!”
Lumiya’s teeth chattered with rage, and even Little Green let out a rare, irritable shout!
They watched as Lin Xing left the Room without looking back, not forgetting to kindly close the door behind him.
As the soft click of the door closing echoed, the Room fell into a long silence.
All that remained were the two of them, staring at the messy Room and each other’s red noses.
A moment later, Lumiya was the first to speak.
“Let’s go! We’re going to Lin Xing’s Room!”
“This… isn’t that a bit much? Won’t it be bad if we go there ourselves?”
“What’s bad about it? I can’t swallow this insult. If you… Hey! Wait for me!”
Little Green was the first to walk out the door, followed closely by Lumiya.
The two of them marched aggressively to Lin Xing’s door. They locked eyes, and both could see the fire in the other’s gaze!
Lumiya quickly signaled Little Green with her eyes, gesturing for her to quietly place her hand on the doorknob. The moment Lumiya shouted, Little Green was to throw the door open to catch Lin Xing completely off guard.
“Open up!” Lumiya roared!
Nothing happened. The door didn’t budge.
Lumiya stared at Little Green with a confused look, as if searching for an explanation for this betrayal.
Little Green walked over to Lumiya and pointed at the doorknob with a wronged expression.
“Lumiya… he… Lin Xing locked the door.”
…It was as if they could hear the sound of someone inside desperately trying to stifle their laughter.
“He’s revolting!”
After another moment of silence outside, Lumiya stared at the door and ground her teeth.
“Lin Xing! I’m giving you a chance! Open the door right now! Otherwise, don’t blame the two of us for what happens next!”
“Don’t! If you damage the items in the Room, we have to pay for them! We’re in a guesthouse!”
Lin Xing, who was eavesdropping behind the door, stopped laughing and hurried to open it.
He was genuinely afraid that Lumiya would break her way in.
“That’s more like it. At least you know what’s good for you.”
Lumiya led Little Green inside with a triumphant air, like a lion surveying its territory.
She began pointing around Lin Xing’s Room critically.
“Your place isn’t that clean either! Look… why isn’t your blanket folded properly! And… why is there a phone on your bed! And… and… why aren’t you asleep at this hour!”
To Lumiya’s surprise, Lin Xing’s Room was exceptionally clean.
There were no clothes tossed about, no empty wrappers, and certainly no foul-smelling tissues.
Lumiya couldn’t find anything to nitpick, so she had to force her criticisms to try and salvage her dignity!
Little did she know that as Lin Xing watched Lumiya lead Little Green inside—looking like a mother hen with a chick following behind—he found her awkward attempts to find fault hilarious.
It was quite cute, but Lin Xing found it even funnier.
He was trying very hard to hold back his laughter.
“What are you laughing at?”
Seeing Lin Xing’s face contorting as he tried to stifle his laughter, Lumiya felt the tip of her nose getting redder and redder.
“I’m not laughing. I’ve been professionally trained. No matter how funny something is, I won’t laugh.”
“Are you messing with me, Lin Xing! You dare use memes on me!”
Lumiya felt like her nose was so red it was about to sprout a round ball.
Feeling like she was being treated like a clown, Lumiya began to overheat with embarrassment.
She grabbed Lin Xing, shoved him onto the bed, and sat astride his waist in a domineering fashion.
“Keep laughing! Why aren’t you laughing now!”
