Chapter 118 – This Is a Question

Miss Lin Xi, who had already flexed so hard everyone was numb, even showed off her cooking skills at dinner.

She went to help Gu Yayun in the kitchen alongside Zhao Xinning and Yang Shanshan, both of whom were excellent cooks.

Gu Yayun couldn’t stop praising her daughter’s friends.

After dinner, she insisted that Lin Xi and the others stay the night.

Su Xiangxue said that tomorrow was Monday, and she was worried they wouldn’t make it back to District 3 in time for school.

Su Tang said she would call a helicopter to take them back.

If she hadn’t been tied up with official business, she could have used Space Jump and taken them back herself.

It was hard to refuse such warm hospitality, so Lin Xi had no choice but to agree to stay for the night.

Tomorrow, they would take a helicopter back to District 3.

Lin Xi had never ridden in a helicopter before, so she found the idea rather exciting.

Zhao Xinning had originally planned to take a day off with Lin Xi so the two of them could spend another day having fun on their own.

That plan was now officially dead…

Yang Shanshan was more than happy to go back with Lin Xi. When the time came, they could go to school together and walk into the classroom together.

Yang Tongtong had no choice in the matter and could only follow her older sister.

“Since we’re taking a helicopter, let’s bring my keyboard and guitar too. That’ll save me from having to mail them over,” Su Xiangxue told her mother and sister. She explained that she, Lin Xi, Yang Shanshan, and their homeroom teacher, Huang Haiyao, had formed a band together.

She also told them that in half a month, the band would perform at the school anniversary.

Gu Yayun said excitedly that she would definitely go watch.

Su Tang also said she would go watch her little sister’s band perform.

And just like that, all the pressure landed on Lin Xi.

I still haven’t even touched a guitar yet!!!

In the entire band, she was the only one who currently couldn’t do anything…

Faced with Gu Yayun and Su Tang’s expectant looks, Lin Xi could only laugh foolishly.

She swore that after she went back, she would practice properly!

After dinner and dessert were over, Su Xiangxue asked, “Lin Xi, we have a natural hot spring in the backyard. Want to take a bath together?”

“Huh???!!!” Lin Xi let out a startled cry.

Su Xiangxue: “???”

“Is having a natural bath that strange?”

“That’s not what I’m surprised about,” Lin Xi said, a little embarrassed. “It’s just… taking a bath together and all… that’s a little too…”

Zhao Xinning and Yang Shanshan nodded along as well. Neither of them wanted Lin Xi to bathe with Su Xiangxue; they both wanted Lin Xi to go with them instead.

“What’s there to be shy about?” Su Xiangxue said. “My sister, my mom, and I bathe together all the time.”

“That’s right,” Gu Yayun said with a smile. “Why don’t we all go together? The bath is quite large anyway.”

All together???!!! Lin Xi didn’t even dare imagine being naked together with so many beautiful girls.

It was too stimulating. Her heart would absolutely stop on the spot and she would drop dead!

What Zhao Xinning was thinking was: Xi’s body is for me and me alone. No one else is allowed to see it all!

She tactfully but firmly rejected the suggestion that they all bathe together.

Yang Shanshan felt exactly the same way as Zhao Xinning.

“What shy girls you are…” Naturally, Gu Yayun didn’t force them. She personally went with a Maid to prepare resting rooms for Lin Xi and the others.

“Are you really not coming?” Su Xiangxue asked again before heading out to the courtyard.

Lin Xi shook her head.

“All right, then.” Su Xiangxue walked toward the backyard with Su Tang.

Lin Xi let out a long sigh of relief.

After taking a wonderfully comfortable shower in the bathroom and changing into soft silk pajamas, Lin Xi flopped onto the spacious bed.

Then rolled around twice.

“Aunt Yayun is way too thoughtful.” Lin Xi was filled with gratitude.

Gu Yayun had arranged comfortable, spacious rooms for each of them. Lin Xi felt as if she were staying in a five-star hotel.

“I have to thank her properly tomorrow.”

“Now then, time for a beautiful night’s sleep.”

Lin Xi burrowed under the covers.

“Good night, world.”

…

Zhao Xinning tossed and turned. Unlike Lin Xi, she couldn’t just sleep soundly anywhere.

This place was as comfortable as a luxury hotel, but Zhao Xinning simply had trouble falling asleep in unfamiliar surroundings.

Unless Lin Xi was lying beside her.

As long as she was with Lin Xi, Zhao Xinning felt safe no matter where she was.

Lin Xi was like the sun, and she was the ninth planet orbiting around her.

Lin Xi was the core of Zhao Xinning’s personal world.

Unable to sleep, Zhao Xinning sat up and hugged her pillow.

“Whoa-” Pluto’s voice rang out. “Are we launching a midnight raid?”

“I can’t sleep without Xi beside me,” Zhao Xinning said. “I’m just going over there to sleep.”

Pluto: “…”

“I really think you should just hurry up and sleep with Xi already.”

“Why bother slowly developing feelings? Just cook the rice and be done with it.”

“No,” Zhao Xinning said. “Xi and I will become true love sooner or later. Shi Yu is dead, and as for Xia Xun… Xi said Xia Xun is just an ordinary friend. No one can threaten what Xi and I have.”

Pluto didn’t quite agree. “Yang Shanshan seems to care about Xi quite a lot.”

“Miss Shanshan?” Zhao Xinning had never considered Yang Shanshan a rival at all. “Miss Shanshan is a total homebody. She’s not as smart as me, and she’s not as cute as me. She’s like one of Xi’s little followers. She doesn’t pose any threat to me whatsoever.”

Zhao Xinning was optimistic about the yuri prospects between her and Lin Xi.

No question about it. The advantage was hers!

Hugging her pillow, she left her room and headed toward Lin Xi’s.

…

Yang Shanshan, who was also hugging a pillow and about to reach Lin Xi’s room, heard someone else’s footsteps and immediately hid off to the side.

At her little sister’s urging, she had worked up her courage, grabbed her pillow, and planned to “raid” Lin Xi at night.

Of course, she wasn’t going to do anything to Lin Xi. She simply wanted to sleep beside her.

“Sis, are you in her room yet?” Yang Tongtong’s voice sounded in Yang Shanshan’s mind. “Are you sleeping next to her yet? You don’t need me to teach you what to do next, right?”

“I haven’t gone into Miss Lin Xi’s room yet,” Yang Shanshan said.

“Huh?!” Yang Tongtong snapped. “It’s just a few steps! What is this, a pilgrimage to the West? It’s been this long and you’re still not there?!”

“Um, Tongtong, I hid. I think… Miss Xinning went into Miss Lin Xi’s room…”

Yang Tongtong: “…”

“Seriously? Are you actually planning to play the wronged wife and watch Zhao Xinning NTR you?!”

“This is intolerable!”

Yang Shanshan told her sister to shut up. “Maybe Miss Lin Xi called Miss Xinning over. The two of them are really close, so it isn’t strange for them to sleep together.”

“What’s strange about good friends sleeping together?”

“Sis! You’re the wronged wife here, and now you’re comforting yourself?!” Yang Tongtong was furious. “How can there be such a spineless Queen of Lust?!”

“If you don’t go into Lin Xi’s room today and sleep in her bed, then you can sleep out in the hallway. Don’t come back!”

The two sisters shared a room.

Yang Tongtong informed her older sister that she had already locked the door from the inside.

Yang Shanshan had only one choice left.

Forward!

Forward!

Yang Shanshan hesitantly made her way to the door of Lin Xi’s room.

Should she go in?

Or should she go back and beg her sister to open the door?

This was the question.
