Chapter 48

Chapter Eleven: Are you…?

In both her past and present life, Yuan Xiaoling had never disliked the phrase “tomorrow is the weekend” until now.

“Actually, it doesn’t matter if it’s not the weekend. We only have class one day a week, so why would we care about skipping school,” Bai Ling said nonchalantly, “It’s just to make you completely give up.”

You’re killing me with words.

Yuan Xiaoling couldn’t take it anymore. Her panic was even greater than her physical reaction at this moment because right then, the Blonde-haired Maiden suddenly remembered a manga she read long ago.

It was about a Black Long-Zhi girl who was continuously teased like this for a long time. The title was “Insensate Girl.”

Without thinking, she raised her little hand and pressed on Bai Ling’s mischievous hand.

“Wait, Bai Ling, wait…”

Hmm? This action and line seemed familiar.

Yuan Xiaoling remembered. In that “Insensate Girl” manga, the Black Long-Zhi girl did the same thing, and the response she got was—

Bai Ling easily controlled her hands with telekinesis, making them float in the air as if tied with ropes, then continued her efforts.

Yuan Xiaoling couldn’t hold it together anymore, splashing everywhere.

No, no way! Because according to how the story went, this was far from over; it was just the beginning.

That’s right, Bai Ling kept going. Battling against the surging tide, she surged forward like a tidal wave messenger.

“I’m wrong, I’m really wrong,” Yuan Xiaoling burst into tears, “I’ll never do it again next time!”

Bai Ling ignored her and continued.

Another hour passed, Yuan Xiaoling lost count of how many times, feeling her consciousness gradually fading.

“Waaaah, what exactly do you want to do, how much more…”

“18 more times left.”

After an hour, Bai Ling replied for the first time, Yuan Xiaoling’s spirit lifted slightly but also froze, “What?”

“Already 16 times, 18 more times, total 34 times.”

“But why?”

Bai Ling didn’t stop her hands, looked up, and saw Yuan Xiaoling’s pitiful little face, finally revealing the reason:

“You ordered 17 small dishes, 7 large dishes, and 40 barbecue skewers at the restaurant. If large dishes count as two small dishes, that’s a total of 71 dishes. You only ate 25 yourself, I ate 12, wasting 34.”

Huh, that much was wasted?

“I remember we didn’t leave any leftovers, wait,” Yuan Xiaoling wiped her saliva and remembered, “No, the leftovers were eaten by those two, right!”

If they ate it all, how could it be considered waste!

Bai Ling gave her a faint glance and lightly laughed, “I never said I’d treat them to dinner.”

Yuan Xiaoling was dumbfounded, “Why didn’t you say anything back then… Ouch!”

Five hours later, all sounds returned to silence.

The sea still wasn’t sucked up to the moon, the tide eventually receded. Accompanied by baby-like sleep, she would eventually reach a peaceful tomorrow.

Zzzz

It had been bright for a long time, and the beach in Tianhai City welcomed another batch of new tourists, enjoying a pleasant and unforgettable day here.

The popularity on weekends was completely different from weekdays. Many more people came to check into hotels in the evening, and the hotel staff were busy registering room information, unable to keep up.

The high-end suites were sold out first. But when the staff operated, they couldn’t help but wonder—when was that best couple king-size bed room booked?

The evening sunlight on the beach shone into the big bed room, Bai Ling woke up before Yuan Xiaoling. The Blonde-haired Maiden was currently sleeping soundly, very deeply.

[How’s it going Bai Ling, are you awake? Aren’t you living like a princess.]

[So long without waking up, must’ve had a great night, tell us about it.]

[Please elaborate.]

What nonsense, acting like she was really playing some kind of campus romance comedy.

Bai Ling coldly snorted, picked up her mobile phone wanting to type something, but after a while, put it down again.

Suddenly, her mood became somewhat complicated, some inexplicable emotions brewing in her heart.

A while later, Yuan Xiaoling also woke up, rubbing her eyes, yawning, and stretching comfortably, Bounce~

She broke the string of her swimsuit very refreshingly.

Then she turned her head and saw Bai Ling there, startled.

“Ah, how come you’re here?”

Bai Ling’s lips twitched, “Where else should I be?”

“I thought you woke up early and went out for a walk since the scenery outside is nice, haha.” Yuan Xiaoling laughed nervously, quietly retreating under the blanket. The swimsuit broke, exposing Dabeitù.

Actually, Bai Ling had seen it already. When Yuan Xiaoling was still asleep, she had been watching her peaceful sleeping face. Cute face, sexy figure, no matter which way you look at it, she was the perfect girlfriend.

Any normal person with Yuan Xiaoling by their side would definitely turn it into a sweet campus romance comedy.

Bai Ling was originally a normal person too, if it weren’t for the calamity ten years ago, the ups and downs of life and death over the past decade, the hardships and betrayals along the way, the hatred carved deeper and deeper…

Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as “if”. As a Mental-type Spiritual Energy Manipulator who broke through realms due to anger and sorrow, the night of rain in her previous life, when she broke through to Fourth-tier with blood-tear-filled eyes, her fate had already slid towards the craziest shore.

“Bai Ling, you… what’s wrong?” Yuan Xiaoling blinked, noticing something was off.

Why isn’t Bai Ling speaking or moving, just lying there, her indifferent expression tinged with a hint of sadness.

What’s going on? Didn’t you make me cry last night? How come you’re sulking after everything’s done?

“Yuan Xiaoling,” Bai Ling suddenly spoke, “I’m not a normal person, and I won’t become one in the future.”

“Why are you telling me this?” Yuan Xiaoling emerged from under the blanket.

She was worried about Bai Ling’s mental state.

Back when her clothes’ straps broke and she dared to pose like that, she would’ve already been pinned down. But this time, Bai Ling made no move, instead gazing at the sunset outside the window and softly said,

“So I can give you a chance, only this one chance. Leave here, and I’ll pretend you’ve never existed.”

As she said these words, she felt inside her heart…

“Why?”

Before she could feel it, Yuan Xiaoling answered too quickly.

“You don’t want to leave?”

“…Why should I leave?”

Stunned.

That’s right. In her entire decade-long life in her past, she never managed to drive Yuan Xiaoling away. How could she think she’d truly want to leave? Even when she tried to escape the second day in the neighborhood, she probably hid nearby to wait for the right moment to mock her when she hit rock bottom.

If she herself was indestructible, then Yuan Xiaoling was an unrelenting ghost.

Bai Ling gave a self-deprecating laugh, oddly feeling a bit reassured.

On the other side, Yuan Xiaoling started to ponder. She definitely wouldn’t leave. What about the Weekly Task? Besides, staying by the protagonist’s side, she was almost Fourth-tier. Getting stronger through punishment, where else could she find such a good deal?

Oh no, has Bai Ling sensed something? Always provoking her periodically, maybe she noticed something strange.

Of course, it could also be another reason. After all, last night lasted so long… Hmm, very likely.

Bai Ling was lost in thought when she suddenly felt a big softness rub against her arm. Turning her head, she saw Yuan Xiaoling snuggling up to her, looking up with an innocent yet serious little face and saying,

“Bai Ling, are you in sage mode?”

Bai Ling remained silent for several seconds, then sighed softly.

“If you’re not leaving, then it’s time for punishment.”

“…Eh??”
