Evolutionary Superstar

Nevertheless, Lin Haoren was more interested in Su Xiaoran’s thoughts.

This girl was too bold.

He stared at her and said teasingly, "I must say, Ran Ran. We live next to each other, and yet you would rather share my bed than let me sleep in yours."

"Aren’t you afraid I would eat you? Or are you hoping for something to happen?" He asked with a meaningful smile.

Su Xiaoran froze upon hearing this.

Actually, she had not thought of this. Did she subconsciously ignore this possibility? Did she reject the idea of him sleeping in her room?

If so, wouldn’t that prove she preferred sharing the bed with Brother Lin?

She couldn’t help but blush heavily at this possibility.

Ding!

[Su Xiaoran’s favorability +1]

Surprise flickered across Lin Haoren’s eyes. He wasn’t sure why Su Xiaoran’s favorability suddenly went up.

What was she thinking?

Suddenly, Su Xiaoran realized Lin Haoren’s teasing. She had been repeatedly embarrassed by him. She couldn’t keep suffering losses like this.

Su Xiaoran puckered her lips, eyes flickering with a hint of mischievous determination, then smiled playfully and replied, "Since I suggested it, I’m naturally not afraid. Could it be that you are? Are you even a man?"

"Girl, you are playing with fire. If that’s how you want to play, fine, I’ll play with you. Let’s see if you regret it," Lin Haoren smiled wickedly.

Su Xiaoran’s heart trembled.

She couldn’t help but regret feigning toughness. Still, she didn’t want to back down now.

"Hmph, you’re just trying to scare me," she convinced herself.

"If that comforts you," Lin Haoren shrugged.

Seeing him turn to leave, Su Xiaoran asked with surprise, "Where are you going?"

"Going out to read a book on the sofa. I don’t sleep until midnight. You can sleep first if you want, but I suggest you stay up and let the food digest a bit more," Lin Haoren said kindly.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoran immediately sat up.

Although she was confident in her fast metabolism, she would still gain weight if she slept on a full stomach.

Moreover, how could she possibly fall asleep first, knowing Brother Lin would crawl into the bed later? What if he did something to her while she was asleep?

Actually, Su Xiaoran felt pretty conflicted and wasn’t sure what she was thinking.

She knew Brother Lin was kind and considerate. She learned this from observing his small actions. Such a person wouldn’t take advantage of her.

In fact, she was the one taking advantage of his kindness and pushing boundaries.

Maybe she really was hoping for something?

Ding!

[Su Xiaoran’s favorability +1]

Outside in the living room, Lin Haoren was taken aback. He didn’t do anything, and favorability still rose.

This girl has so many thoughts running through her head.

After shaking his head, he put on the Scholar’s Spectacles and resumed reading the novel A Thousand Lifetimes With You.

Suddenly, he heard Su Xiaoran step out of the bedroom and head toward the front door.

"Did you lose your nerve and decide to go home, Ran Ran?"

"I’m only going home to shower and do my skincare routine! I’m still coming back!" Su Xiaoran retorted, then, with puffed cheeks, huffed threateningly, "If you don’t let me back later, hmph, see how I’ll deal with you!"

Lin Haoren snickered, then ignored her, focusing on his own stuff. Her threat had no substance.

An hour later, Su Xiaoran had still not returned.

Lin Haoren put the novel away, took off the Scholar’s Spectacles, and logged into QuickBeat and Galaxy Video to upload a new short video from his reserve.

Afterward, he showered and did his skincare routine.

[Appearance +1]

After coming out of the bathroom in pajamas, he noticed Su Xiaoran was already back, settled in bed, playing on her phone.

Sensing his approaching presence, her relaxed expression became strained.

"You really came back."

Lin Haoren laughed, not minding her presence. He turned off the lights and crawled into his side of the bed.

That night was bound to be restless for Su Xiaoran.

Although Lin Haoren could enter deep sleep quickly, he didn’t do so right away. He felt like something could happen tonight.

He realized his own heart was also restless.

After all, it was his first time sharing a bed with a girl. It would be strange if he wasn’t nervous or held some anticipation.

Several minutes of silence passed.

Moments later, he heard Su Xiaoran’s body turning, followed by silence for a few minutes.

He kept his eyes shut and felt nothing else happening.

Then he also turned his body toward her.

The moment he opened his eyes, their gazes were immediately locked onto each other. The silence endured, but their heartbeats quickened.

Su Xiaoran’s face burned, but she didn’t pull her gaze away; she kept it fixed on him.

Lin Haoren felt his heart pounding, but he knew the same was for her. Then, as if he was possessed by courage, he leaned in and gave a soft peck on her lips before retreating in guilt.

Su Xiaoran’s eyes widened in surprise, but there was also a rare sparkle in them.

Her cheeks burned.

Still, she simply stared at him in silence, neither speaking nor taking any action.

Lin Haoren pulled his gaze, feeling guilty.

Why did he kiss her?

There didn’t seem to be any particular feelings behind it. Just an impulse driven by raging hormones and lust.

Ding!

[Su Xiaoran’s favorability +5]

Lin Haoren was startled by the notification and glanced back at Su Xiaoran again—only her smug yet flushed look.

It was rather charming, even seductive.

This time, Su Xiaoran hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to kiss him back. That reciprocity kiss was like a fuse that set their restrained hearts ablaze.

They let go of their reservations and just followed their primal instincts of mutual attraction.

Then, before they realized it, they were deeply entangled, lips pressed against each other, sharing a simple yet pure and passionate, long kiss.

Su Xiaoran was left panting for breath after their lips separated.

Their curiosity was sated, and her courage died quickly.

Although Su Xiaoran’s heart kept pounding, she was reluctant to part from Lin Haoren’s embrace. The warmth provided by his toned body held a deadly attraction in the cold winter.

That said, her body shuddered with some uneasiness.

Lin Haoren sensed it, and the fire in his heart was quickly extinguished. He didn’t press for further progress and simply held her in his arms.

"Let’s sleep. We’ll go for a morning run, then I’ll make you breakfast and prepare your lunch, alright?"

"Mm..."

Su Xiaoran snuggled obediently into Lin Haoren’s arms, content and relaxed.
