Early the next morning.
The birds had already begun to sing loudly, and by this time, it was already bright. The small alley was filled with the joyful laughter of children.
Inside Xinyan's home, a ray of sunlight shone through the window, falling on Xinyan's chest and Stelle's hand.
Stelle's fingers, warmed by the sun, couldn't help but twitch.
Immediately, Xinyan let out a soft groan.
This made Stelle, who was still closing his eyes, slightly stunned. His mind hadn't reacted for a moment, still thinking if he was still dreaming.
So, his fingers moved again.
This time, he used a little more force.
"Stelle… Stelle, no." Xinyan's pleading voice echoed in Stelle's ears, and only then did he slowly open his eyes.
The beautiful scenery that met his eyes could not be shared with everyone.
But it was enough for Stelle to understand what was going on…
"I'm, I'm sorry." Stelle quickly withdrew his hand.
To be honest, he was still a bit confused even now, not quite understanding why things had suddenly developed this way yesterday.
He remembered that after Xinyan poured him a glass of water, he sat there and started chatting with Xinyan.
Xinyan was clearly much more relaxed at home than when the two of them were walking on the road earlier. They chatted happily, and finally, because it was too late, Xinyan wanted to keep him overnight, and he would leave the next day.
…And then?
Why did the memory after that disappear??
Stelle's expression suddenly became a little strange. When he recalled again, he could only remember what happened later, in bed.
Xinyan seemed wild, but in fact, he was no match at all, completely defenseless in front of Stelle. Stelle still remembered that he made Xinyan at least three times… cough cough.
Stelle quickly shook his head, thinking further would probably bring that evil fire back up.
"Xinyan, um, I'm sorry." Stelle looked at Xinyan, who was openly revealed to him, and slowly spoke.
He had done similar things countless times, and said similar apologies countless times. At this moment, he was truly experienced.
"No, it's, it's my fault…" Xinyan lowered his head, not daring to look Stelle directly in the eyes.
He was truly possessed. Xinyan even felt that the person last night wasn't himself, but an evil spirit that had taken his form.
Perhaps he shouldn't have agreed to sleep in the same bed as Stelle, but faced with such temptation, he only struggled in his heart for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.
Recalling what happened afterward, he felt some shame.
Because it was very late, they didn't chat much anymore, and Stelle quickly fell asleep.
However, he couldn't sleep at all. Even with his eyes closed, all that appeared in his mind was Stelle's figure.
His mind was filled with the thought that a thinly clad Stelle was lying beside him.
Xinyan simply couldn't control himself, especially since Stelle didn't react much later, his courage gradually grew, and then…
Then things got out of hand.
Seeing Xinyan's appearance, Stelle tried hard to recall, and finally remembered what had happened.
"But, that shouldn't be…" Lumine thought, looking suspicious.
Yesterday, she didn't seem like herself at all.
She admitted that she had strong feelings for Yun Jin and Xinyan and wanted to win them over.
But she wouldn't be so proactive, even using a 'play hard to get' tactic to seduce them.
Yes, although it didn't sound good, it was accurate: using her physique to make Xinyan make a big mistake.
This was not her style; at least she wasn't that impatient, rushing to trick a young girl into bed on their first meeting.
Yesterday, it was as if she was controlled by her own physique… Wait, could it really be that there was something wrong with her body?
Lumine's brows furrowed slightly.
She thought back carefully; there seemed to be no warning signs recently, and her physique had always been quite stable, so why yesterday…
Lumine shook her head, deciding to put this matter aside for now. The immediate priority was to deal with Xinyan's situation.
"Ahem, Xinyan, it's all my fault. You don't need to apologize or worry. I'll explain this to you slowly…"
Lumine looked at the naked Xinyan in front of her, and as she spoke, her voice slowed down.
Damn it, something really seemed to be wrong with her body.
How could this be? Shouldn't this be sage mode right now?
"…Lumine?" Xinyan seemed to notice that Lumine's gaze was a bit off, and being stared at by Lumine like this for such a long time, in broad daylight.
She couldn't help but shrink her neck. She was still terrified by what happened last night.
"Gulp, it's nothing, I'm fine…" Lumine swallowed, clenching her fists.
She had to try hard to control herself. Xinyan was already very tired last night, so she had to restrain herself.
Yes, restrain—she couldn't hold back.
"Sorry, I, I still have to…" Lumine said, her hand trembling as it moved towards Xinyan's chest.
-----------------------------------
Two hours later, Lumine was helping Xinyan clean her room.
The originally clean and tidy room had become a bit messy, and there was a strange fragrance lingering, especially Xinyan's bed, which was beyond soaked.
"Anyway, that's roughly it. I'm really sorry…" Lumine sat by Xinyan's window, wiping the water stains on the bed with a handkerchief.
Soon, the handkerchief became drenched, and Lumine had to wring it out before wiping again.
"No, I'm also responsible." Xinyan sat on a chair, staring blankly at Lumine's back.
Because she was too tired, she couldn't help Lumine clean up at all; even putting on clothes was done by Lumine.
She didn't know if she had fully absorbed what Lumine said. The blush on her cheeks was still very noticeable, and her expression seemed somewhat dazed.
It felt like Xinyan didn't quite believe what Lumine said, as it was indeed somewhat unimaginable and shocking.
However, hearing that Lumine had experienced similar things more than once, Xinyan actually felt a sense of relief.
The guilt in her heart was no longer so intense.
"Lumine, you said you liked me last night, that wasn't fake, was it…?"
"Of course not! I swear on Akivili, the Aeon of Trailblaze, that even if I wasn't completely sober at the time, what I said was absolutely sincere!" Lumine immediately said with a serious expression.
How could such a thing be fake? The only problem was that she liked a few too many people.
"Then, that's enough, that's enough." Xinyan smiled.
As long as that was the case, nothing else mattered.
