74: Chapter 74 Young People Full of Vigor
Luo Xiaoyi's words gave Lin Wanwan a start.
Especially after hearing Lin Xiao's slightly lecherous inner thoughts just now, she was even more worried that this guy might do something excessive in a fit of impulsiveness.
"Xiaoyi, I'll shower with you. He can shower by himself later. Our bathroom is small; there's no way it can fit three people."
As Lin Wanwan spoke, she half-pushed Luo Xiaoyi into the bathroom.
When she closed the door, she didn't forget to turn around and glare at Lin Xiao.
Seeing that huffy expression on Lin Wanwan's gentle face, Lin Xiao couldn't help but find it amusing.
He couldn't quite understand what Lin Wanwan was guarding against. Did she really take him for a pervert?
Did he really look like the kind of person who would do something lewd?
A moment later, the sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.
Through the frosted glass, two shadows could be vaguely seen.
And those curvaceous silhouettes were truly enough to make one's imagination run wild.
The rising steam from the hot water made the two shadows appear even more hazy.
Although Lin Xiao didn't want to stare, his gaze was uncontrollably drawn to them.
After all, he was a vigorous young man; it would be abnormal if he didn't feel anything at all.
Hearing the occasional giggles from inside, Lin Xiao's heart felt increasingly light and airy.
[I didn't expect living in a girls' dormitory would lead to an experience like this. It's really... hard to say, hard to say.]
[Fortunately, Sixth Sister can't see me from inside.]
[No, no, I have to find something to do. Otherwise, when they come out and see me staring blankly at the bathroom, it'll be too embarrassing.]
[But before they come out, I should be able to watch for a little longer, right?]
[Why is it that since I came here, I've somehow felt myself becoming lecherous?]
...
Lin Xiao's inner thoughts came one after another, giving Lin Wanwan a real headache inside the bathroom.
But more than that, she felt ashamed and annoyed.
Even though Lin Xiao's thoughts were contradictory—feeling like he shouldn't be doing this—he simply couldn't control himself.
Lin Wanwan was no longer in the mood to enjoy her shower. After a quick rinse, she stepped out of the bathroom first.
Just as Lin Xiao's previous thoughts had suggested.
When she came out, Lin Xiao was earnestly fiddling with the books on the desk.
Those things were originally just there for him to put on a show.
In any case, he wouldn't be staying at this school for long, and there was no need for him to study their major.
Moreover, Lin Xiao clearly looked absent-minded, yet he was trying his hardest to fake it.
"A-Xiao."
Lin Wanwan walked over to Lin Xiao's side and said with a faint smile, "Oh? Reading a book? Is there anything you don't understand? Do you need Big Sister to explain it to you?"
"Ah, no need, no need."
Lin Xiao hurriedly waved his hands and explained with a serious face, "I'm just looking over tomorrow's lessons. What if your professor is strict and likes to ask questions? What if I get exposed then?"
"Oh, is that so..."
"Mm-hmm, that's exactly it."
"But you've got the wrong one. This semester, we're studying this volume."
Lin Wanwan exposed Lin Xiao without hesitation, reaching out to take another book from the shelf.
She had made marks in this book before and specifically told Lin Xiao about it.
"Heh, you don't even know how to fake it properly."
Lin Wanwan let out a cold snort.
"Sister, I... I just forgot."
Lin Xiao was still trying hard to explain.
In any case, it was impossible for him to admit his absent-mindedness; he couldn't let Sixth Sister think of him as a pervert.
Seeing that Luo Xiaoyi was also about to come out, Lin Wanwan didn't further expose Lin Xiao's little schemes.
She only warned him in a cold voice, "A-Xiao, you must behave yourself here. You can't have any crooked ideas!"
"Mm-hmm, I know. Don't worry."
Lin Xiao nodded like a chick pecking at grain, looking completely well-behaved.
Lin Wanwan didn't say anything more. She packed up and climbed onto Luo Xiaoyi's bed, preparing to sleep.
Lin Xiao waited until both Lin Wanwan and Luo Xiaoyi were asleep before he cautiously climbed into bed, pulling the bed curtains tightly shut without leaving a single gap.
This was his first time spending the night in a girls' dormitory, and his heart was still full of trepidation.
He was here to help Lin Wanwan solve her problems; he couldn't let his identity be exposed and bring unnecessary trouble to her instead.
This worry left him with no sleepiness at all.
In his daze, he seemed to hear faint sobbing.
Listening carefully, it was actually coming from Lin Wanwan.
He cautiously got out of bed and climbed over to the opposite side, finding that both Lin Wanwan and Luo Xiaoyi were already fast asleep.
And there were indeed tear stains at the corners of Lin Wanwan's eyes.
Lin Xiao immediately felt a pang of heartache.
He didn't understand just how much grievance Lin Wanwan was hiding in her heart. When she was awake, she looked like nothing was wrong, but when she fell asleep, she was actually crying in her dreams.
He couldn't help but reach out, wanting to wipe away the tears from the corners of Lin Wanwan's eyes.
But the moment he touched her, Lin Wanwan seemed to sense something and threw a punch!
Caught completely off guard, Lin Xiao was knocked off the bed.
Clutching his painful eye, he didn't dare make a sound.
He even felt a trace of relief in his heart.
If only Lin Wanwan could use this kind of ruthlessness during the day. If she did, probably no one in the school would dare to bully her!
Lin Xiao barely slept the entire night.
Early the next morning, he finished washing up and getting ready before Lin Wanwan and Luo Xiaoyi woke up.
When Lin Wanwan got up, Lin Xiao was already sitting there reading.
This time, Lin Xiao was serious.
Clearing the stray thoughts from his mind, he carefully looked through their professional course materials.
But just as he turned around, Lin Wanwan was stunned.
Because Lin Xiao was actually sporting a black eye!
