“No wonder…”
Looking at the cozy master bedroom before her, equipped with everything she needed—especially that soft double bed taking up the center of the room—Bai Yu’s lips twitched.
She had been wondering why things felt a bit off, like a room was missing.
So this was what was waiting for her.
She should have seen it coming.
Since she told Mu Yue she had a lover now and needed to look after her, plus a sister who was still in school, Mu Yue must have known there would be three people in this house.
No wonder Bai Yu had only seen two rooms while looking around.
She should have realized that one of them was bound to be a double.
After all, in Mu Yue’s eyes, Bai Yu and her mysterious lover were likely in the honeymoon phase of their relationship.
Arranging a double room for them was the most logical choice.
Young couples were supposed to sleep together, after all.
As for the smaller room, it was naturally meant for Bai Yu’s sister.
Even though the girl lived at school right now, she would eventually have holidays.
When she came home, she would obviously stay at her sister’s place.
Having a single room ready for her was just perfect, wasn’t it?
No wonder Mu Yue had said over the phone that Bai Yu would definitely love this house.
After all, she had carefully hand-picked this place specifically to provide Bai Yu with a double room full of love.
‘Mu Yue, oh Mu Yue, I really can’t thank you enough.’
Bai Yu couldn’t help but let out a silent wail in her heart.
If she and Loweia were truly a real couple who were so head over heels that they wanted to be glued together every second, she would have been moved to tears by such a thoughtful arrangement and thanked Mu Yue.
The problem was that from the very beginning, she and Loweia weren’t lovers at all.
The whole “lover” thing was a complete lie.
Bai Yu was just a big fraud who had come up with every possible way to cling to a powerful person to survive, tricking Loweia into trusting her. Loweia was the victim of her deception.
The poor girl who had been thoroughly fooled had no idea Bai Yu was a liar.
Under Bai Yu’s carefully crafted web of lies, she truly believed they had been lovers in the past.
She had even developed a sense of dependency and Favorability toward her.
However, given their current relationship, they shouldn’t have progressed to the point of sharing a bed yet.
Even though the current Loweia believed they were once lovers, she hadn’t expressed any intention of resuming their Lover Relationship yet.
If Bai Yu demanded that they sleep together like this, Loweia might mind.
Demanding to sleep together before her Favorability reached a certain level would definitely cause it to drop.
No, no, she couldn’t force Loweia.
She couldn’t let the small amount of Favorability she had worked so hard to grind out just vanish.
If only there were three bedrooms in this house.
Even if one of them was a double, she wouldn’t have to worry about the room assignments.
But the issue was that there were only two bedrooms in total, and including her sister, there were three of them.
As for asking Mu Yue to find a new place, Bai Yu thought about it and realized it was probably unrealistic.
The residence was already settled.
If she wasn’t satisfied and wanted to change, Mu Yue would definitely have something to say about it.
After all, Bai Yu hadn’t spent a dime on this house.
Moreover, in Mu Yue’s eyes, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the way the house was set up.
Was there a problem with a couple like Bai Yu and Loweia staying in the same bedroom?
As lovers and girls, what was wrong with sleeping together?
It was perfect.
As for leaving the smaller bedroom for the sister, that was also perfect.
See?
Was there a single problem with this arrangement?
The young couple stays in one room, and the sister stays in the small one.
What could be wrong with that?
It was a great arrangement.
If Bai Yu still wasn’t satisfied, Mu Yue would likely think she was being too picky or even ungrateful.
But because she had to consider Loweia’s identity, Bai Yu couldn’t tell the truth and explain that they weren’t lovers at all, and that she was just trying to trick Loweia into being her life-saving thigh to cling to.
There was nothing else for it; she had to see what Loweia thought.
If she decided she wanted to sleep with Bai Yu, that would be a massive win for Bai Yu.
If she didn’t agree, then there was nothing she could do.
When her sister came home for the holidays, she would have to sleep with her, or just let her sister sleep on the sofa.
She turned her gaze to Loweia beside her.
The girl had her head lowered, her hands twisted together.
A flush of crimson had appeared on her originally pale face, and her eyes were spinning in circles.
Seeing this reaction…
Bai Yu’s heart gave a sudden thud.
It seemed the girl had also noticed this was a double bed and that they were likely expected to sleep together.
“Wei Ya, which bedroom do you want?”
Whatever happens, she would just ask for Loweia’s opinion first.
However, Loweia didn’t respond to her question.
At this moment, she seemed to be immersed in her own world.
In fact, Loweia’s mind had already wandered far away.
She stared at the room before her, unable to stop the sighs of wonder in her heart.
Such a large room, and such a large, seemingly soft bed—this was obviously prepared for the two of them.
In the past, they were lovers, so they must have slept together often.
There would definitely have been some intimate physical contact.
They might have slept in each other’s arms, or they might have even taken things further while in bed… like doing things that only lovers could do…
At the thought of those heart-pounding things, Loweia couldn’t help but let out a cry in her mind.
‘Ya!’
No, no, she and Bai Yu weren’t lovers right now.
How… how could they do such shameful things?
The thought of the two of them lying intimately in bed, taking off each other’s clothes, pressing close together, and exploring each other’s bodies made Loweia’s face burn.
‘No, no… that kind of thing is still too early.’
Even if she took a step back and just imagined the scene of sleeping with Bai Yu—feeling the other girl’s warm breath brushing against her face, or accidentally having physical contact with her—Loweia’s face grew several degrees hotter.
But if they really did sleep together and Bai Yu wanted to get close to her, should she accept or refuse?
If she refused, Bai Yu would definitely be sad.
But if she accepted, she wasn’t ready yet.
She wasn’t ready for such intimate contact with another girl.
What should she do?
But Bai Yu had prepared a double room and decorated it so beautifully; she must be hoping to regain their past memories together.
But, but…
“Wei Ya, have you decided which room you want?”
Hearing Bai Yu’s voice at that moment made her jump as if she had been startled, and she couldn’t help but cry out.
“*Ee!* I… that… I’ll take the smaller room.”
In her panic, her muddled mind instinctively chose to run away.
‘Sorry, Bai Yu. Please forgive me for not being ready yet, for not being ready to take this step.’
Wait until the day she was ready and willing to accept her status as a Lover again.
Then, while Bai Yu was asleep, she would take the initiative to perform a Night Raid and crawl into her blankets to give her a surprise when she woke up the next morning.
