Chapter 379: Coming to my room in the middle of the night, Teacher Erlong, are you here to deliver yourself?
When Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong returned, the atmosphere was clearly off.
The frequency of eye contact between the two was absurdly high.
And every time Liu Erlong’s gaze swept over Lin Qingmo,
that complex gaze, carrying some indescribable emotion, made his back feel chilled.
"You guys..." Ning Rongrong just wanted to ask.
"Nothing!" Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong said in unison.
This tacit understanding was even more synchronized than a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Lin Qingmo raised an eyebrow; his intuition told him these two must have reached some unspeakable deal.
But as a mature Transmigrator, he knew one truth—small secrets between women are best not questioned; if you ask, you lose.
"Ahem."
Xiao Wu cleared her throat, forcibly changing the subject.
"A-Qing, I have something I want to ask you."
"Speak."
"In the future, how should we treat the others in the Chat Group? After all, we all know each other’s identities now."
As soon as this question came out, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan all pricked up their ears.
Wait, what about the thing between Teacher Erlong and Lin Qingmo?
The atmosphere just now clearly had some juicy gossip!
Ning Rongrong’s inner spirit of gossip was burning fiercely.
Lin Qingmo gave Xiao Wu a surprised look.
Something is wrong, absolutely something is wrong.
Given Xiao Wu’s personality, it’s impossible for that matter just now to be brushed off so quickly.
Now not only did she actively change the subject, but she also asked about such a serious matter; she must have reached some consensus with Liu Erlong behind his back.
But since she wasn’t saying anything, he wouldn’t actively step on a landmine.
"This is a good question."
Lin Qingmo’s expression became serious, "Remember one principle—tacit understanding should not be spelled out."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhuqing frowned.
"It means, even if you know who is who in the Chat Group, don’t go blabbing about it."
Lin Qingmo looked around at them.
"For example, I might have told you that Bingbing and the Snow Empress are the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, but that’s not a reason for you to shout it out in the group."
"That’s right."
Liu Erlong added, her voice as bold and straightforward as ever.
"Some things are better left unspoken; saying them out loud ruins the beauty of it. This is respect for each other, and also protection for oneself."
When she said this, her gaze drifted toward Lin Qingmo again unconsciously, her earlobes slightly reddening.
Lin Qingmo: "..."
Teacher Erlong, just say what you need to say, why are you blushing!
For the next half hour, Lin Qingmo briefly introduced the situations of the Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Hu Liena, and High Priestess Bo Saixi.
Of course, regarding certain sensitive topics, he brushed over them with vague language.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others listened attentively, but everyone was still thinking about another matter.
What on earth did Xiao Wu and Teacher Erlong talk about?
Unfortunately, until they left, they didn’t get an answer.
"Zhuqing, do you think Teacher Erlong and Xiao Wu..."
After going out, Ning Rongrong couldn’t help but gossip in a low voice.
"Don’t ask." Zhu Zhuqing said expressionlessly, "You’ll die."
Dugu Yan nodded in deep agreement.
Inside the room, only Lin Qingmo and Xiao Wu were left.
"Xiao Wu."
Lin Qingmo patted the bed beside him, revealing a smile he thought was very sincere.
"Do you want to stay tonight and sleep together?"
"..."
Xiao Wu looked at him with a complex expression.
"No." She shook her head, "I want to sleep alone today."
After speaking, not waiting for Lin Qingmo to persuade her to stay, she got up and left.
The sound of the door closing was very soft, but it made Lin Qingmo’s heart sink.
It seems Xiao Wu is truly filled with Life Qi.
He leaned back against the chair, looked up at the ceiling, and quickly calculated in his mind how to coax this little princess.
Just as he was lost in thought—
Knock, knock, knock.
The door was knocked on again soon after.
Lin Qingmo’s eyes lit up, and he sprang up from the chair like a carp.
"Xiao Wu!"
He opened the door, his voice filled with surprise, "I knew you couldn’t bear to—"
Halfway through his sentence, it got stuck in his throat.
It wasn’t Xiao Wu standing outside the door.
It was Liu Erlong wearing pajamas.
Moonlight spilled in from the corridor window, shining on the side of her face.
Her long hair, usually tied into a high ponytail, was now draped over her shoulders, losing a bit of sharpness and gaining a bit of softness.
That dark blue silk pajama outlined her mature, full curves, and her delicate collarbone was vaguely visible at the neckline.
Lin Qingmo’s brain crashed for 0.3 seconds.
"T-Teacher Erlong?"
He subconsciously took half a step back, "It’s so late, you are..."
"What, are you not welcoming?"
Liu Erlong tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, a gesture she made look incredibly alluring.
"I have something I want to talk to you about."
Lin Qingmo: "..."
Is it too late for him to close the door now?
The answer is it’s too late.
Liu Erlong had already stepped sideways into the room and sat down on the edge of the bed very naturally.
Lin Qingmo stiffly closed the door, turned around, and saw Liu Erlong looking around his room.
Moonlight shone on her face, and those eyes, which usually burned like flames, were now as soft as a pool of spring water.
"Teacher Erlong, what do you want to talk about?"
Lin Qingmo decided to take the initiative, while quietly moving to the chair furthest from the bed and sitting down.
Liu Erlong didn’t answer immediately.
She was silent for a moment, then spoke: "About what I talked to Xiao Wu about today."
Lin Qingmo’s heart skipped a beat.
"She asked me..."
Liu Erlong raised her head and stared straight into Lin Qingmo’s eyes, "Whether I have fallen for you."
The air in the room seemed to freeze.
Lin Qingmo felt his heart skip a beat.
"Teacher Erlong, you..."
"I didn’t lie to her."
Liu Erlong interrupted Lin Qingmo, her voice filled with a desperate determination.
"The thing I hate most in this life is deception."
"Moreover, Xiao Wu asked me with such a serious look in her eyes."
She took a deep breath, and the curves of her chest rose and fell with the motion.
"So I told her my thoughts."
"You should understand what I answered, right?" Liu Erlong gazed at him, moonlight flowing in her eyes.
Lin Qingmo felt his brain buzzing.
How could he not understand now—Liu Erlong really had feelings for him!
Damn, what kind of explosive development is this?
Now it seems he severely underestimated the seriousness of this fiery beauty.
Lin Qingmo fell silent.
The whole room was so quiet that the two of them could hear each other’s breathing.
After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice slightly hoarse: "Teacher Erlong, are you sure? I—"
"Don’t call me Teacher Erlong."
Liu Erlong suddenly stood up and walked toward Lin Qingmo step by step.
"Now that it’s just the two of us, call me Erlong."
She stood still in front of Lin Qingmo, leaning over slightly, her heroic yet beautiful face less than a foot away from him.
"And, I am very sure of my feelings."
Her voice was as light as the wind, but as heavy as a mountain.
This was her well-considered answer.
