Volume 1 Chapter 46: At Your Age, How Can You Even Sleep?
Sitting on the bed, Lin Lin looked around and even leaned forward to check the pillows.
Gao Liang was organizing the things he brought. He glanced at her with some confusion and asked, “Lin Lin, what are you doing?”
“Looking for hidden cameras,” the girl said while flipping the pillows. Gao Liang froze for a moment.
“That’s probably not necessary. This isn’t some cheap hotel. Their safety should be fine. Besides, we’re not here to do anything weird.”
“Uh…” Lin Lin nodded. “That’s true, but… I still want to check. I don’t really feel very safe.”
“I see…” Gao Liang nodded, half understanding. Then he took out some clothes from his bag and said, “Then sit here for a bit. I’m going to take a shower.”
“Eh?”
Lin Lin turned her head, froze for a second, then panicked and shouted, “Y-you-you—you’re taking a shower?! Why?! Do you need to shower just to explain homework?!”
“Well, I didn’t shower last night. I’ve been busy all day today and ran around a lot, so I’m sweating. You wouldn’t want to smell anything strange while studying, right, Lin Lin?”
“Mm…”
Hearing that, Lin Lin puffed her cheeks and muttered, “What were you doing last night anyway? You didn’t even come home that late.”
“Uh…” Gao Liang laughed awkwardly. That… wasn’t easy to explain.
If he said he stayed up playing games with a female streamer and her viewers, Lin Lin would probably get mad.
And not to mention, that little vampire girl even taught him some strange tricks…
Seeing Gao Liang stay silent for a long time, Lin Lin turned her head away unhappily, but still said, “Do whatever you want. I’ll play on my phone. Go take your shower.”
“Okay, it won’t take long. Don’t worry.”
After saying that, Gao Liang opened the bathroom door and went in. Lin Lin was left alone in the room, sitting on the bed and scrolling through her phone out of boredom.
Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Lin Lin turned her head and glanced at the semi-transparent glass door. A strong figure could be vaguely seen behind it. Just one look made her quickly turn her head away.
“Splash—splash—splash—”
Such strong abs—ah, no—such a high water flow.
Lin Lin sat there awkwardly, suddenly feeling restless.
Not because she wanted to peek. And not because she was worried about wasting water.
It was simply that…
A girl sitting on a big bed in a hotel, waiting for a man to come back from the shower. No matter how she thought about it, it just felt really awkward.
This…
Should she also go take a shower later?
Cough cough…
What am I even thinking?!
She quickly shook her head. No, stop thinking. Right now!
She tossed her phone aside, lay down on the bed, and pulled the blanket over herself.
So comfy~
…………………
After a while, suddenly, Gao Liang’s voice came from the bathroom.
“Lin Lin, can you help me get my clothes? I forgot to bring them in…”
Lin Lin crawled out from under the blanket and looked sadly at the bathroom door, her eyes full of mixed feelings.
This guy…
It’s really hard not to think he did this on purpose!
Lin Lin twitched the corner of her mouth, walked over to where Gao Liang put his bag, searched through it, then raised her head and shouted toward the bathroom:
“Where did you put your clothes?!”
“On the second layer. The white long-sleeve shirt, the black pants, and then… uh… that thing…”
Gao Liang’s voice sounded a little nervous. After some searching, Lin Lin found the white shirt, the black pants, and… that thing.
When she held up the boxer shorts, she finally understood what Gao Liang didn’t want to say clearly.
Cough cough…
Her face turned red, and her heart started beating faster.
But then she thought about it, it’s not like she had never seen men’s underwear before. It’s… not that special.
She folded the clothes together, walked to the bathroom door, and knocked. After a moment, the door opened a small gap.
Gao Liang quickly reached out. While feeling around, he suddenly grabbed a thin, pale wrist.
“What are you doing?!”
Lin Lin quickly shook off his hand, lifted the clothes up, and Gao Liang hurriedly took them and closed the door again.
Mission complete.
Standing next to the door, Lin Lin smiled with a mix of pride and teasing.
Tsk, this guy is so shy… hehe.
It’s not her turn to be embarrassed anymore.
After a while, Gao Liang came out, already dressed, wiping his hair, and said,
“Thanks for the help, Lin Lin.”
“So… can we start studying now?”
Lin Lin’s strong desire to learn surprised Gao Liang. He froze for a moment, then nodded.
“Let’s start.”
The two of them sat at the desk, cleared the table, and took out their study books. Lin Lin swallowed the blue pill—
Tutoring mode, start!
“By the way… where did we stop last time?”
Gao Liang flipped through the book, his memory a bit unclear. Maybe because something much more exciting happened after the last study session, making him forget the progress.
But…
Lin Lin didn’t know either.
Honestly, she didn’t even know exactly what she had learned. She could now look at similar problems and instantly know how to solve them, but asking her to name the exact topics? She couldn’t.
The two of them searched through the book together and finally found the spot.
Lin Lin pointed at the next question. “Explain this one.”
So bossy…
Gao Liang stayed silent for a moment. Even when he once forced her to say “meow,” it wasn’t this intense. Still, he sighed and started explaining.
“For this question… first, let’s look at the solving idea here. We start with the formula.”
As Gao Liang explained, Lin Lin kept nodding. He talked a lot, and although she stopped him many times in the middle, every time he explained carefully, she understood again.
Is her understanding really that strong?
Gao Liang asked worriedly, “Are you… sure you understand?”
“Yes!”
Lin Lin went through the problem in her head, glanced at a similar one below, and instantly saw the steps.
“Keep going. I get it!”
“R-really?”
Gao Liang continued, “This question actually has a simpler way. First, we do this…”
“Mm-hm!”
…
“This one mainly…”
“Mm-hm!”
…
“We can even solve this from a more advanced angle…”
“Mm-hm!”
…
“Phew… phew… Lin Lin, can we take a break? I feel like my mouth and brain are about to explode…”
“Mm-hm—ah, no! No way! How can you rest at your age? Resting is not allowed! Keep explaining!”
The girl looked at her useless desk mate with anger and disappointment.
Hurry up and teach!
The blue pill only has one hour left!
Damn it!
