Chapter 22: Let Me Take a Look

　　”No problem.”

　　Before Yuan Xiaoling could finish speaking, Gu Hui quickly interjected, “Tonight we’ll be staying in the neighboring dorm.”

　　”…What?” The blonde-haired maiden was left stunned.

　　”The girls in the neighboring dorm are on vacation back home. We just asked them and they agreed to let us borrow their place,” Qiao Lili said, “Thanks to Gu Hui’s connections.”

　　”Among friends, asking for small favors is no big deal,” the high-emotional quotient girl Gu Hui smiled.

　　”Hold on, the issue isn’t this,” Yuan Xiaoling blinked her eyes, “How… cough, why do you need to stay in the neighboring dorm?”

　　”Don’t pretend, Bai Ling will come over tonight, right?” Qiao Lili said.

　　Gu Hui chuckled, “You looked so good today, jumping around at the sidelines. We knew it—tonight would definitely be an epic battle… I mean, a wonderful night, so we arranged a place to avoid beforehand.”

　　Qiao Lili added, “Of course, we don’t have to avoid; sitting nearby and watching would be fine too. The question is whether you’d allow it.”

　　Yuan Xiaoling nervously rubbed her hands, “Then maybe avoiding is better…”

　　Live viewing sounds way too adult for pure-hearted female university students.

　　Also, because she wore something revealing during the day, being attacked in her dorm at night sounds super uncool, making Xiao Ning seem like the weaker party.

　　The blonde-haired maiden puffed her cheeks, “Actually, it was me who invited her over tonight because she performed well today. It’s a reward.”

　　That’s right, we’re the ones holding the reins here… wasn’t it her idea to agree to wear cheerleader outfits in exchange for coming to support?

　　Reasonable.

　　”Sure, sure, we believe you,” Gu Hui glanced out the window, “It’s almost dark, we won’t disturb anymore. Let’s tidy up and head to the neighboring dorm.”

　　Qiao Lili grabbed her phone, tablet, and charger, “Let’s go!”

　　Before leaving, Gu Hui leaned against the doorframe and said, “By the way, Xiaoling, we’re just next door. If you need help, just knock on the wall, but not too late.”

　　Her roommates swiftly packed their stuff and headed to the neighboring dorm, leaving Yuan Xiaoling still standing there, barely recovering from the suddenness.

　　This was so unexpected. Her original plan for the evening was to treat her roommates to some barbecue outside, then aim to satisfy Bai Ling within half an hour… cough, meaning to take care of things with Bai Ling in half an hour, after which they could return.

　　Who would’ve thought that the two had everything arranged perfectly, considering even more carefully—because realistically, within an hour, Xiaoling wouldn’t be able to fully satisfy Bai Ling.

　　It seems those who understand you best aren’t necessarily yourself, but the people around you.

　　”Alright, but what’s this knocking-on-the-wall nonsense, as if they can hear anyway…”

　　Just as Yuan Xiaoling muttered, she suddenly heard voices from the neighboring dorm—

　　”Their dorm is so clean, no weird stuff around.”

　　”If there were, they wouldn’t leave it out.”

　　”That’s true, so what’s in this cabinet…”

　　”Don’t snoop through other people’s stuff, let’s set up the bed first.”

　　Yuan Xiaoling’s face turned pale.

　　They can hear!

　　So when Bai Ling comes over later, they’ll know exactly what’s going on, every detail of the situation?

　　Of course, Xiaoling isn’t shy, but the main issue is…

　　……

　　Bai Ling didn’t want to look at her phone anymore; if she kept staring, she wouldn’t be able to wait till nightfall.

　　Better calm down and think about any consequences of today’s actions. Getting all worked up and flashy really wasn’t wise—it’s all Xiaoling’s fault for dressing so provocatively… seriously, that flimsy cheerleader outfit on her was like some decisive weapon, making it impossible to think about anything else except… you know.

　　So, consequences? Let’s worry about that tomorrow.

　　The white-haired maiden glanced out the window, noticing the sun setting, the world enveloped in fading light.

　　Alright, no more thinking. Time to go.

　　Since it was the weekend, there weren’t many people around campus. The classmates who came back temporarily to watch the match had already left after the game ended.

　　This was a quiet long-distance dash.

　　Knock, knock, knock, she tapped on Yuan Xiaoling’s dorm door.

　　”You can just push it open, it’s unlocked.”

　　Pushing the door open, she saw Yuan Xiaoling casually seated on the bed, one smooth white leg dangling and swaying.

　　”You’re here,” the blonde-haired maiden said calmly, “According to my calculations, you should’ve arrived by now.”

　　Bai Ling frowned, sensing something off, “Shouldn’t I be here?”

　　”Coming is coming, not coming is not coming, there’s no should or shouldn’t,” Yuan Xiaoling spoke in a soft girly tone, acting all-knowing, “You’re here, that’s good.”

　　She shifted her body, lowering her other white leg, swinging both feet alternately, “After all, this is the reward I promised you. You coming means you’re listening to me, which is quite nice.”

　　Bai Ling paused for a moment, asking her, “Are you dumb?”

　　For a second, Bai Ling thought she might’ve injured Yuan Xiaoling’s brain with today’s combo moves, but then realized that wouldn’t affect a third-tier spiritual power user.

　　”You’re the dumb one,” Yuan Xiaoling huffed, “Deciding to give you a reward is an honor for you. Gratefully accept it!”

　　Bai Ling remained silent for a while, still unable to figure out what was wrong with Yuan Xiaoling.

　　Whatever, if she can’t understand, she won’t bother. Just act directly.

　　Meanwhile, in the neighboring dorm, two girls pressed against the wall exchanged glances.

　　Qiao Lili: “Does she actually think saying these things makes us believe she has supreme control over Bai Ling?”

　　Gu慧 opened her mouth, intending to say something in defense of Yuan Xiaoling, like “A determined person will eventually succeed,” but soon sweet sounds from the blonde-haired maiden came through the wall—

　　”Hey, what are you doing? No, wait, ah… eek!”

　　Seemed like she couldn’t handle much, better not comment.

　　Bai Ling’s preemptive strike was merely an appetizer. She arrived early and wasn’t in a rush, even telling Yuan Xiaoling to change into her fitted cheerleader outfit first.

　　”You’re wasting too much time,” Yuan Xiaoling stood firm with crossed arms, “My roommate will come back to sleep soon. You delaying one person for half an hour means two people losing an entire hour!”

　　”Not gonna happen,” Bai Ling replied immediately, “They messaged me. They’re sleeping in the neighboring dorm tonight, giving me full access tonight.”

　　Whether it’s using the dorm or the roommate, well… the roommate is part of the dorm.

　　Yuan Xiaoling froze, “When did they tell you?”

　　”QQ group,” Bai Ling responded coolly, “‘Tianhai University Family,’ something like that.”

　　”You actually joined such a boring school-wide group…”

　　Information advantage taken, Yuan Xiaoling had no choice since it was agreed upon earlier.

　　”And don’t let me wear underwear, it’s so tight… Is this okay?!”

　　Fitted cheerleader outfits are completely different from oversized ones—they were extremely snug, almost exposing everything with just a raise of her hand.

　　So Bai Ling said, “Raise your hand and see.”
