Chapter 16: If not her ,then why should she?

Coming out of the bathroom, Su Wanwan glanced at the time—it was already past ten in the evening.

After blowing through her damp, silky hair, she lay down on the soft blanket, wrapping herself up with her long legs tangled inside, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep.

On one hand, midnight was approaching, and the simulation count was about to reset.

On the other hand, she couldn’t help but feel a little concerned.

Although after dinner when Lin Mo left, Su Wanwan had calmed down considerably and could quietly reflect on whether being called a little wife was really too exaggerated. After all, it was a teacher-student relationship! If anyone found out, it could even make the news.

But whenever she thought of Lin Mo, her body beneath the blanket inexplicably warmed up, becoming hot to the touch.

She could feel the change in her body.

Her skin was filled with a faint, elegant fragrance, unlike any perfume—something very natural.

This phenomenon was especially obvious when she showered. At first, she thought she must have already used body wash, but after finishing, she realized the bottle was untouched in the corner.

Yet her skin felt silky smooth, and the elegant scent lingering in the bathroom made her think she had lathered up after all.

It really was different from before.

But it wasn’t all good.

After Lin Mo left, a cold, chilling sensation crept in.

While Lin Mo was present, it wasn’t obvious. Su Wanwan couldn’t quite describe the feeling—it was unlike any kind of cold. It was July, the peak of summer heat. How could she feel cold?

This discomfort only eased when she wore the Yupei that Lin Mo had given her, hanging it right in the center of her neck.

A warm current flowed along the Yupei, warming her body, making her chest feel cozy.

This warmth was unlike any warmth Su Wanwan had ever known—not just simple heat, but as if she were wrapped gently in softness, a warm current kissing every corner of her body, making her feel incredibly comfortable.

A rosy blush spread across her delicate face.

She couldn’t say whether the feeling was good or bad.

She wasn’t lying—she didn’t hate it at all.

If she had to describe it, it was like constantly receiving a gentle essential oil spa, gliding over every inch of her body, so pleasant that she couldn’t help but squint her eyes in pleasure.

Though she’d never actually had one, she knew nothing could feel better than this.

It was as if Lin Mo was right there by her side.

Of course, she didn’t mean Lin Mo was literally giving her a spa.

The feeling the Yupei gave Su Wanwan was similar to how she felt when Lin Mo was around.

Putting it that way…

Pretty much the same, yeah.

Su Wanwan squinted, thinking.

She felt a bit embarrassed.

Why did it have to be you, Lin Mo? Shouldn’t it be a girl?

Go away, go away before the Teacher calls someone!

“Alright, just this once. You can’t lie to me.”

“Lin Mo, don’t touch the Teacher.”

“Is this really a spa? Why do I feel something’s off?”

“Big liar!”

“Lin Mo! You’re bullying me!”

Su Wanwan only felt her body growing hotter and hotter.

So hot.

Squinting, she lightly bit her lip, a flush of rosy color making her look stunningly beautiful, like a fallen fairy in this world.

“Ah! No!”

Like a kitten caught stealing fish, Su Wanwan buried her entire face into the pillow: “What are you doing, Su Wanwan?”

“Could it really be like the System said, that I’ve developed my own little kink from now on?”

No way, of course not.

Su Wanwan gently tucked a stray lock of hair off her fragrant shoulder.

She sat up.

Pulled back the soft blanket covering her body.

Biting her lip lightly, a deep blush slowly spread from her face down her fair neck, then behind her ears.

Her tight, perfectly shaped legs pressed together, and she snapped: “You, body! What on earth is wrong with you?”

: You can’t be like this, Su Wanwan!

There’s a golden chamber hiding a beauty over there!

And you still want him!

Besides, you’re his teacher!

Are you really going for that teacher-student thing?

So annoying. If only I had the courage back then to face Lin Mo, to ask who was the girl sending him 99+ unread messages.

Then I wouldn’t have to toss and turn guessing all night.

Su Wanwan was actually very angry.

Because Lin Mo was cold by nature, always looking indifferent as if the sky was falling and it didn’t concern him, yet he was a fierce hexagonal warrior.

Someone like that, no matter who left him, could live well on their own, right?

Even if she knew that in Lin Mo’s heart, the Master wasn’t her.

She could take her time, she could wait.

She thought she was the one and only.

But now, no.

Suddenly, some girl appeared out of nowhere, calling him “brother” at every turn.

She herself had never called him “brother.”

Afraid of Soul Searching.

But Su Wanwan wasn’t happy about it.

She had put in so much effort, and with the System’s help, barely sparked a tiny flame with Lin Mo—so tiny it was almost invisible—and yet she lived in constant fear of Soul Searching.

Why should it be her?

Why did that girl get to call Lin Mo “brother” so naturally?

Why didn’t Lin Mo Soul Search her?

Who was she to call him so intimately?

The key thing was, Lin Mo hadn’t deleted her.

On the surface, there were 99+ unread messages, which matched Lin Mo’s cold personality. But in reality, Su Wanwan saw a different side of Lin Mo.

She thought: Seriously? Trying to reject but also secretly welcoming!

If you really didn’t care, why not just delete her? Why keep her?

No, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

She had to send Lin Mo a message and ask!

When Lin Mo left, they had added each other as friends.

His Feixin name was also Lin Mo.

After thinking for a bit, Su Wanwan sent Lin Mo a message: “Are you there?”

She anxiously waited for a reply.

A “ding” sounded, and Su Wanwan quickly looked.

Lin Mo: “Present, Master. You’re still awake.”

Su Wanwan: “Can’t sleep. Mm, got something on my mind…”

Lin Mo: “Master, please speak. Lin Mo is listening.”

Su Wanwan: “Alright, Master won’t hide it from you either. I want to ask—who is Xixi?”

Su Wanwan: “Don’t get me wrong, you know as a teacher the school is cracking down hard on early relationships lately. If Xixi is your girlfriend, try not to bring her to school. Getting caught means a major demerit and could affect promotions.”

Lin Mo: “Hmm… Master, how did you find out? Did you see…”

Lin Mo: “How could Lin Mo have a girlfriend… If by some fortune Lin Mo ever meets the right person, I would first ask for Master’s consent before making any decisions.”

Su Wanwan had still underestimated Master’s status in Lin Mo’s heart.

Su Wanwan: “If that’s the case, then who is Xixi? I heard her calling you…”

Su Wanwan: “‘Brother.’”

Su Wanwan: “Hmm, Lin Mo ‘brother.’”

Lin Mo: “She was the first woman the disciple saw after waking up. As for ‘brother’… it’s because she claims to be Lin Mo’s little sister.”

Su Wanwan: “Disciple, you’ve been scammed.”

Lin Mo: “Master is right. Lin Mo has no relatives here, so how could a sister suddenly appear from nowhere?”

Lin Mo: “If Master dislikes it, Lin Mo will delete her.”

Su Wanwan: “Scammers deserve to be beaten.”

Lin Mo: “Deleted.”

Su Wanwan: “Disciple is really good, you’re so obedient.”

Lin Mo: “Yes, Lin Mo is very obedient.”
