Chapter 329: The Favorite of the End Times (9)
For a moment, my nerves were tense, as if even my breathing was about to stop.
There was a hint of panic in Qiao Xi's clear almond-shaped eyes for no reason. She hurriedly avoided Ling Lin's sight, lowered her head slightly and clutched the hem of her clothes.
Maybe he thought of something.
The girl's fair cheeks gradually turned red. She touched her small earlobe unnaturally, as if she was doing it unconsciously in nervousness. Her uneasy look caught Ling Lin's eye.
She has memory.
Know what happened in the illusion.
"I'm sorry, Senior Ling..." Qiao Xi avoided his sight and apologized in a low voice. The little girl lowered her head and didn't dare to look up at him.
He folded his fingers together in front of his chest and spoke cautiously with trepidation.
I really don't have much confidence.
Especially now that the two of them were alone in a room, the ambiguous atmosphere that had not completely dissipated in the illusion just now seemed to be able to be stirred up again at any time.
"fine."
Ling Lin spoke, his voice, calm as always, but a little hoarse.
His breathing was slightly disordered, clearly not having completely recovered from the illusion. However, returning to reality, his calming brain and rationality made him more aware of the dangers of that bewitching illusion.
And - his ridiculous treatment of Qiao Xi.
Now thinking about it, it was as if he was being seduced and controlled by instinct, becoming no longer like himself, and even losing his original calmness and rationality.
And that illusion really seemed like a dream.
In the dream, he was conscious but unable to control himself, and watched things happen like a bystander.
And the rapid passage of time did not feel real at all.
But now he can remember everything that happened.
Ling Lin sat up and leaned against the bed.
Even now, under the influence of the illusion, he still felt a strange feeling in his body. It was a constant and silent torture for him.
Close your eyes slightly.
The look on Qiao Xi's face in the illusion, her beautiful eyes widened in shock, and her blurred eyes gradually filled with mist, all appeared in his mind.
The girl's cheeks were shy, but she looked at him quietly with timid eyes.
The slight temptation and entanglement in her beautiful eyes, as well as the girl's embarrassment and shyness, all became vivid and lively.
as well as.
The touch of the soft little hand was conveyed especially clearly.
It was as if he was standing on the border between dreams and reality. Although it was so unreal and vague, he could still clearly remember every expression of the girl.
Even now.
Even though neither of them spoke, Ling Lin could sense the girl stealing glances at him from time to time. The atmosphere was shrouded in an ambiguous, yet distant, atmosphere, becoming even more profound.
After a long time.
Ling Lin opened his thin lips slightly, closed his eyes and sighed softly.
"……Feel sorry."
He didn't want to scare Qiao Xi, nor did he want to leave any psychological trauma or bad memories on the girl. But it was true that he had offended her.
“……?”
Qiao Xi was with her head down, tugging at her clothes anxiously. When she heard Ling Lin's voice, she looked up at him in confusion. The girl's expression was still dazed, and her unguarded and ignorant eyes were caught red-handed.
“…”
Ling Lin's breathing paused and his Adam's apple rolled.
"I'm sorry for doing this to you."
He repeated it again, his slightly hoarse voice clearly showing his unfading passion. The girl blushed and replied with a low "hmm" before daring to say anything else.
But it didn't take long.
Qiao Xi probably realized that her reaction was too simple. After much hesitation, she didn't want Ling Lin to have any psychological burden, so she added carefully.
"It's okay, it's a special situation... I also did something unkind to Senior Ling, so we're even."
She muttered to herself.
He somewhat awkwardly avoided the other person's direct gaze, as if he was reluctant to recall the past.
Although Ling Lin kissed her first.
But wasn't she also... doing that just to stimulate the other party to wake up from the illusion?
It seems that I feel more ashamed because I said it out loud.
The little girl lowered her head even lower, shrinking herself into a quail. She wanted to hide in the cracks of the ground and escape from this planet that was killing her.
Ling Lin's eyes dimmed slightly.
The feelings that he had wanted to suppress, after seeing Qiao Xi like this, overflowed even more unrestrainedly. He knew he shouldn't do this, but he interrupted at the critical moment and tasted the girl's soft lips.
I couldn't control the urge for long.
It escaped from the cage again.
He pursed his lips slightly, and looked at Qiao Xi with gradually darkening eyes: "Can you come over?"
The sound of it falling was very light.
Yet, there was a unique sexiness in his slightly hoarse voice, as if startled by a sudden noise in the bushes. The girl, like a little rabbit startled awake, instantly reacted and looked up at him.
There was still panic in those clear eyes that had not been concealed.
She looked innocent and naive, and seemed completely unaware of the increasingly dangerous aura emanating from the man in front of her.
However, the girl's instinct can still be detected to some extent.
"……What's wrong?"
She asked, but still moved over slowly out of trust.
Ling Lin waited until the girl came to his side. He hid the overflowing emotions in his eyes and said, "I want to hug you, is that okay?"
Seriously seeking opinions.
However, his overly direct and intense gaze seemed to carry a message of undeniable rejection. Under such a gaze, one felt even more embarrassed.
Just a hug.
Is this considered as compensation for Senior Ling...?
The little girl seemed to be comforting herself in this way, hesitantly nodding. After receiving permission, Ling Lin closed his eyes slightly and remained silent, just as he had done in the illusion.
He put his arm around Qiao Xi's waist.
It was precisely because the girl was standing next to him and he was sitting on the bed that Qiao Xi, who was caught off guard and hugged, fell into his arms without any preparation.
It sat right on his lap.
Before she could react, she seemed to notice something. The girl was stunned for a moment, and when her brain recovered after three seconds of downtime, she raised her hand and quickly covered her burning cheek.
Woo woo woo…
How, how could this happen.
"Just hold her for a while." Ling Lin held her in his arms.
The boy looked at the girl who was as well-behaved and docile as a little rabbit, and was now so shy that she didn't even look at him. For no reason, his mood seemed to lighten up a bit, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up slightly.
How long is a while?
Qiao Xi leaned stiffly in his arms, not daring to move at all. From time to time, she would secretly open her fingers to peek, but she could see the boy's smooth and beautiful neck and Adam's apple lines, as well as the slightly open collar of his white shirt.
What lingers around me is a faint and refreshing scent that is not found in the illusion.
It smells like Ling Lin.
This wasn't an illusion, but a true reality. It was precisely because of this that Qiao Xi felt so completely at a loss in this embrace.
Reality and illusion cannot be compared.
That……
Her eyes quietly followed the boy's cool chin upwards, and she saw his thin, light rose-colored lips. The events of the dreamland involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
Senior Ling Lin’s mouth.
It looks like they are very friendly.
As if sensing something, Ling Lin lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms. He saw the little girl covering her face with her hands as she stole glances at him through her fingers, looking timid and cautious, as if she was afraid of being caught.
Ling Lin suddenly understood.
When Dongfang Xian was chatting with him, he didn't know what the word "cute" meant.
I didn't have any intuitive feeling about this word before.
Seeing Qiao Xi at this moment, he seemed to finally understand. All kinds of thoughts that he had never had before emerged in his mind one by one.
So good, I want to bully her.
But I don’t want her to cry, I want to see her blushing and shy.
Ling Lin hugged her tighter. The girl in his arms was petite and soft. Even when being held so tightly, she seemed a little confused.
Qiao Xi leaned on his chest.
Snuggling in with him, she gradually calmed down and relaxed her nerves, listening to Ling Lin's heartbeat. She slowly lowered her hand and buried her flushed face in the boy's arms, as if she were in a dream, not wanting him to see her like this.
The distance between the two seemed to be shortened a lot at this moment.
Qiao Xi seemed to have gradually gotten used to the refreshing scent on Ling Lin. The girl seemed to like it very much, and her slender white hands quietly grasped the boy's white shirt.
Ling Lin noticed her actions.
After a slight hesitation, he raised his hand, slowly stroked her soft hair and asked in a low voice.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Still nervous?
Qiao Xi's body stiffened slightly, and she buried her cheek in his arms and mumbled in response: "...No."
Just hugging.
It was this sudden gentle touch on the head that caught her off guard.
However, Ling Lin seemed completely oblivious. While stroking her hair, his cool fingertips brushed against the girl's neck, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. Every time he inadvertently touched her warm skin, Qiao Xi stiffened slightly.
She looked up.
In her beautiful, clear eyes, like glass, shyness was mixed with anger. As she glared at Ling Lin, she looked more like a ferocious kitten baring its fangs and claws.
I don't know if the boy did it on purpose.
But she felt that it was intentional, especially when she met Ling Lin's eyes with a faint smile, she became more certain.
Bad intentions!
Qiao Xi was not willing to be outdone and wanted to retaliate. When she glanced at the boy's neck, she suddenly leaned forward and bit him fiercely with a howl.
It took a little effort at first.
But thinking that he might feel pain, the girl hesitated and let go.
"Bite." Ling Lin's eyes were deep, and he noticed her intention to leave.
The big hand that was stroking her hair stopped and gently pressed the girl's head, with a strong implication that she could not be refused, forcing her to lie down and not leave.
“……!”
Qiao Xi, who had just let go, was forced to press back, but this time she was unable to open her mouth to bite Ling Lin.
Her warm and soft lips pressed against Ling Lin's neck.
But the boy was determined to wait until she bit him before letting her go, and Qiao Xi was practically lying in Ling Lin's arms. Their lips could only be a little distance apart, maintaining this position, she took a cautious, symbolic sip.
"...like this?" Qiao Xi asked uncertainly.
The force holding her back seemed to loosen a little, and a soft, warm touch lingered on her neck. The girl's delicate fragrance became even more alluring, and that gesture, almost a kiss, was even more alluring.
It seemed to have rekindled the emotions he had suppressed with great difficulty.
If this continues, something bad will happen.
It was originally an unintentional act to see her look shy and frustrated, but he didn't expect Qiao Xi to actually do it obediently.
And now he could feel every warm breath of the girl.
Ling Lin let go of his hand.
He pushed her away from him, and her slightly messy hair hung down, blocking the dark light in his eyes.
"No more hugs."
Not wanting to be noticed again, Ling Lin said this.
Qiao Xi obviously didn't know what was wrong with him, but she could vaguely sense that something was wrong. But if the boy said he didn't want to hug her, then she didn't hug him.
She nodded.
He obediently moved to the side and watched Ling Lin stand up from the other side.
"I'm going to the bathroom to see if the water works."
All that was left for Qiao Xi was a hurried back and the sound of the door closing as Ling Lin walked into the bathroom.
Qiao Xi sat back on her bed.
She pinched her still hot cheeks, still feeling a bit dazed. However, her clear eyes were exceptionally bright.
Did you take a cold shower?
Sure enough, soon the sound of splashing water was heard.
Qiao Xi also collected her thoughts and lay on her bed, swinging her legs, holding her phone in both hands and tapping away, going to eat today's portion of apocalyptic melon.
As for the system space.
The two cats who were watching the whole process fell into deep thought. Although the Little Black Cat System used Qiao Xi's original world's personality as a template, it did not expect it to be like this.
【Is this kind of personality? 】
The Little White Cat System came back to its senses and glanced at it: [What else? In her original world, she seemed to be the national sweet girl or the tea art sister.]
Little Black Cat System:???
【Isn’t he the cool and aloof boss?】
[Don't think too much, people will grow up.] The little white cat system was not too surprised by this. As Qiao Xi's hidden values increased, she gradually changed and restored her original personality.
Now seal it again.
After gradually adapting to the transition of another world, and with the Little Black Cat System using her original world's personality as a template, she naturally recovered.
The original world where Qiao Xi was located could be said to be the initial world.
It is the starting world of the binding system.
This is already in the world of the novel, but it is at the novice village level. Players need to meet certain conditions to trigger the system to bind, and then they will be eligible to unlock other worlds.
To put it bluntly, when there is no binding, it means that the level is not high enough and you cannot open a new map.
Of course, Qiao Xi never asked it these questions.
Naturally, the Little White Cat System was not mentioned, but it can be left for the end.
The Little Black Cat System stared at the virtual screen thoughtfully.
I asked a nonsensical question: [How do you feel when you use the mimicry system? ]
The topic changed too abruptly.
The Little White Cat System was just surprised for a moment, then started to think seriously.
[It's fine normally, just don't face the host]
Why?
[…I don’t know. I feel a bit out of control after activating my emotional function. It even affects my main body a bit.]
Therefore, unless Qiao Xi specifically ordered it to be used, it would not be used again. In other cases, even if the Little White Cat System used the mimicry system, it would turn off the emotional function.
【oh】
The little black cat system nodded, not quite understanding. When it used mimicry itself, it would turn off all the miscellaneous functions, but it did not have the same experience as the little white cat system.
The two cats chatted while cooking cold noodles.
Over there, Qiao Xi was lying down, browsing her phone and listening to the sound of water gradually fading away. After waiting for a while, she saw Ling Lin coming out dressed neatly again.
It doesn't look unusual.
However, when he passed by Qiao Xi, the fresh moisture on his body made the girl couldn't help but hide.
Ling Lin looked at the girl lying on the bed playing with her cell phone.
With a slight sigh, he pulled up the girl's thin blanket to cover her below the waist.
Even though I was wearing jeans.
But these high-waisted jeans are too slim-fitting for her, revealing her exquisite curves. When she opens the door, you can see her white feet dangling.
"Senior Ling, you—"
Qiao Xi put down her phone and turned to look at him. She was about to say, "Don't you think it will be hot if you cover yourself with the quilt?" but at this moment the door of the room opened from the outside.
"That's it. Our two teammates are unconscious."
Dongfang Xian's voice came from the doorway at a distance, as if he was talking to someone. There were several chaotic footsteps behind him, and it seemed that quite a few people were coming.
It should be the people from Aizawa's team who have arrived.
