Volume 3 Chapter 47: Did She Get So Sick That She Became Silly?

“G-gone?”

Gao Liang froze for a moment. He looked at the girl in disbelief. He even had the urge to lift her blanket. After a while, he asked suspiciously,

“You really threw them away?”

“Mm…”

“Where did you throw them?”

“Into the stove…”

Lin Lin explained awkwardly. When she saw that Gao Liang still did not fully believe her, she lowered her head and said with a trembling voice,

“They’re really gone. Right now… I only have a pair of shoes and a straw hat left.”

She stretched one arm out from under the blanket and pointed at the two items. Gao Liang looked over. Indeed… only the straw hat and the shoes were left.

But he still did not fully believe her.

He stared closely at her body—well, actually, he was staring at the blanket. But Lin Lin did not know what he was thinking. She only felt that he was staring at her.

Because she was not wearing anything under the blanket, she quickly pulled it up a little higher and said shyly,

“What are you looking at?!”

“Are you sure you didn’t hide your clothes under the blanket?”

“Of course not! I… I suddenly lost my mind and threw them away. They’re really gone!”

Gao Liang listened carefully to her voice. She spoke very quickly, as if she was trying hard to prove she was telling the truth.

Could it be…

They were really gone?

“You really can’t find them?”

“Mm…”

The girl nodded awkwardly. Gao Liang sighed. He thought to himself that Lin Lin must have drunk too much beer today.

Did I buy the wrong one? The alcohol level was not even that high.

But since it had already happened…

“There are pajamas in the hotel. I’ll get a set for you. You can wear that…” Gao Liang sighed again. He really did not know what to do with this little troublemaker.

He had just taken a few steps when he suddenly turned around and said,

“Or should I go buy you some clothes now and then take you home? If you stay out overnight, your parents will worry.”

“Mm…”

Lin Lin bit her lip quietly. In her mind, she started calling the system.

【Lin Lin: Hey, hey, stupid system, come out for a moment!】

【System: Hmm?】

Ah…

The charming woman’s voice in her mind was almost magical. It made her feel restless.

But this time she had learned her lesson. Before doing any task, she had to clearly ask what the task required!

【Lin Lin: About this task… the exact requirements are… first, I sleep naked. Second, Gao Liang lies on the same bed with me. That’s enough, right? We don’t have to… do anything strange, right?】

【System: No need~】

【Lin Lin: Really? And as long as those two conditions are met, it counts as success?】

【System: Mm-hmm~ Yes. But if you want to do anything else, I don’t mind. It will still count~】

As if she had any other thoughts!

Lin Lin quickly shook her head.

However, maybe that small reaction made the now even more mischievous system a little unhappy.

Right after that…

【Ding! The host gets a temporary system buff: Romantic impulse +100%, Charm +200%!】

Ugh—!

Things became even worse. A strange heat rose from the girl’s heart and slowly rushed up to her head.

At this moment, the little self-control Lin Lin still had began to break apart. Her breathing became heavier, and it started to carry a tone that was hard to describe.

Her red face made Gao Liang feel confused. The alcohol had not faded. Instead, under the new effect, it further weakened her self-control.

Feeling more and more uneasy, she pulled the blanket up again, covering half of her face and only showing her eyes, which were becoming more and more unfocused.

“Lin Lin, say something. I’ll take you home…” Gao Liang said.

“N-no… I can’t…”

Her mouth was dry as she spoke. Gao Liang froze for a moment. He could clearly tell that something was wrong with her voice.

What’s wrong with her?

“I… I don’t have any clothes. If I go back like this, my parents will definitely scold me. It will be hard to explain. And…”

Her body started to shake.

And… staying in a hotel room and lying on the same bed with her rival was much more likely than doing that at home.

N-no… I have to control myself.

“Then what should we do? How about I go buy a similar set of clothes for you? Staying out overnight is not very good. Lin Lin, where did you buy that dress?”

“I… I think it was from the clothing market near my house. I don’t remember clearly. And that place should already be closed at this time…”

Her answer made Gao Liang unsure of what to do.

If that was the case, maybe letting her stay in the hotel tonight was the best choice.

The only problem was how to explain it to her parents.

At the same time, the girl who had been fighting against the buff felt that she was running out of strength. Her body felt stranger and stranger. This strange feeling even spread to her mind, making her head feel more and more empty and dull.

She even began to forget some important things, like… that she used to be a boy, or that Gao Liang was her rival.

No, no!

I can’t forget those things.

She closed her eyes and clenched her teeth, trying hard to fight against the system.

But because only half of her face was visible, Gao Liang thought she was just sleepy. And since she kept breathing out hot air, he reached out and touched her forehead.

He quickly pulled his hand back.

So… hot.

Did she get confused because of a fever?

No wonder she suddenly became so silly. Did she catch a cold earlier when they were standing in the wind on the bridge?

High fever plus alcohol.

It looked like tonight Lin Lin had completely lost the ability to think clearly.

No wonder she threw away her clothes and sent him that kind of photo…

If this continues, will she burn her brain from the fever?!

His heart tightened. He quickly waved his hand and said anxiously,

“Lin Lin, you… I’ll go get you some fever medicine. You really can’t go home like this. Just stay here tonight and rest well. Don’t worry. I’ll go get the medicine. Wait for me!”

Gao Liang quickly stood up. Before leaving, he threw the hotel pajamas onto the bed and said,

“Wait for me. And put on some clothes. You’re already sick with a bad cold!”

“O-okay…” The girl under the blanket nodded stiffly. Anyway… it was not time to sleep yet…

Wearing it for a while was fine.

But I don’t really have a fever… It’s all this stupid system’s fault…

“Wait for me!” Gao Liang rushed out of the room and closed the door.

The hotel room became quiet.

The girl slowly pulled down the blanket, blushing, and closed her eyes…

Gao Liang was right. I… I really need to cool down…
