144: Chapter 142 Holding Tight and Not Being Afraid 144: Chapter 142 Holding Tight and Not Being Afraid Having returned to Princess Apartments, Tangyu discovered that not only were the lights in the living room still on, but the television was also making noise.
Tangyu slightly raised his eyebrows; it was so late, hadn’t Momo and the others gone to bed yet?
Could they still be waiting for him?
He checked the time—it was already past midnight.
They all had school tomorrow, and at their age, it was better to sleep early.
The door was ajar and unlocked.
Tangyu tiptoed in, quietly locked the door behind him, and then headed toward the living room.
Soon, Tangyu saw a sight that made him feel somewhat guilty.
Momo and the other two were sprawled haphazardly on the couch, fast asleep, while the television played unattended.
It seemed they had been waiting for him for quite some time, otherwise they wouldn’t have fallen asleep right on the sofa with the TV on.
A warmth spread in Tangyu’s heart as he approached the three girls, quickly reaching the couch, his gaze falling on their bodies.
The three of them were dressed in strappy nightgowns, which had loosened a bit due to their unguarded sleeping positions.
Especially Zhao Yaya—one of the straps had slipped down to her arm, and—the most nosebleed-inducing fact was that she wasn’t wearing anything underneath, leaving her developing body exposed right before Tangyu’s eyes.
Although Zhao Yaya was only thirteen or fourteen, her physical development was not much inferior to Lin Feifei’s, perhaps even comparable.
Of course, among the three, Guo Momo was undoubtedly the best developed, her body was mature in all aspects, not at all inferior to mature girls like Liu Shanshan.
Zhao Yaya’s sleeping posture wasn’t great, but this appearance of hers was truly adorable, causing Tangyu to briefly feel an impulse, which he quickly suppressed.
In his heart, he still viewed Zhao Yaya as a younger sister.
Lin Feifei’s sleeping posture was quite decent, and Guo Momo’s clothing had only been pulled a bit because Zhao Yaya was embracing her.
Coupled with the fact that it was a strappy nightgown, which already had very little fabric, even standing normally would reveal a lot, let alone lying skewed on the couch like this.
That expanse of white, her arms, was indeed quite a visual impact, making Tangyu feel the urge to go up and touch.
Sleeping beauties, truly beautiful while asleep, so beautiful it made one have an uncontrollable impulse.
No seductive charm could probably compare to the sight of a beauty sleeping.
Tangyu gazed unwaveringly at the three, a smile appearing on his face, wishing this moment could linger a bit longer.
Lin Feifei seemed to have sensed something and suddenly opened her eyes, gave a hard look at Tangyu, and then realized Tangyu had returned.
She immediately sat up, “Tangyu, you’re back.”
Lin Feifei’s movement also woke Guo Momo and Zhao Yaya.
Zhao Yaya, still groggy, rubbed her eyes and mumbled, “Is it dawn already?” She rubbed her eyes and looked around, realizing she was still in the living room, her gaze soon fell on Tangyu, becoming a bit more alert, “Oh, good guy brother, you’re back.
What time is it?
I didn’t even realize I had fallen asleep.”
“Yo, it’s almost one o’clock.
Good guy brother, why are you only back now, what bad things have you been up to?
Don’t tell me you went out chasing girls?” Zhao Yaya suddenly exclaimed.
“Er, of course not, I was held up with some things, so I got back late.
Why didn’t you guys go to bed?” Tangyu shook his head.
“Psh, spare me, that’s what you’d tell a three-year-old.
I don’t believe it.
Good guy brother, you’ve been away since this morning and only got back at this late hour, and you left with Sister Liu, you definitely were up to no good.
Good guy brother, you didn’t do something to betray sister Feifei, did you?” Zhao Yaya said.
Lin Feifei immediately glared at Zhao Yaya, “Don’t talk nonsense, he surely had his reasons.
Alright, let’s go to sleep, we even fell asleep watching TV.”
Zhao Yaya shook her head, “Not at all, Sister Feifei, you were obviously waiting for good guy brother here, you even asked us to keep you company.
It’s just that we were so tired from waiting that we ended up falling asleep.”
Lin Feifei’s face flushed instantly, her comment made it feel like she was waiting for a boyfriend to return, but she didn’t know how to refute Zhao Yaya’s words.
“Sorry, Feifei, you don’t have to wait for me anymore.
I might have some things lately.
You’d better go to bed earlier,” Tangyu said.
Lin Feifei turned her head away, her face red, unsure how to respond.
Did knowing mean admitting that she had been waiting for Tangyu until now?
How could she say such an embarrassing thing openly, it would lead to misunderstandings.
Zhao Yaya blinked at Tangyu, propping her big head, “Good guy brother, I really don’t get it, you said you weren’t out chasing girls, then why are you often back so late?
You don’t smell of alcohol, nor did you drink and get rowdy.
There isn’t any strange smell on you, you probably didn’t go to bars or places like that.
So late at night, what could you possibly be doing?
I think you must be with some other girl, hmm.”
Guo Momo smacked Zhao Yaya’s behind lightly, causing Zhao Yaya to bounce up, looking weakly at Guo Momo.
Guo Momo chided, “Adult matters are not for children to worry about.
Why do you need to know so much, just go to bed with me, or you’ll struggle to wake up like a little pig tomorrow.”
“It’s probably because of some company matters, but it’s not easy to explain to you girls,” Tangyu shook his head.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore, everyone is tired, let’s go to bed.
Oh, Tangyu, I’ll give you the house key tomorrow, from now on we won’t leave the door open for you,” Guo Momo kindly offered.
“Hmm, okay,” Tangyu nodded.
Lin Feifei glanced at Tangyu a few times and, with a red face, went upstairs, followed by Guo Momo and Zhao Yaya.
Tangyu shook his head, smiling, and followed them up, feeling pretty good about living with three beautiful women.
It felt somewhat warm, somewhat like home.
When he got upstairs and entered the room, Tangyu was slightly startled to find that Lin Feifei had already fallen fast asleep—it seemed she was extremely tired.
The entire sequence had taken only about a minute.
Tangyu lightened his steps and approached the bed, noticing his clothes and towel neatly placed on a cabinet.
He smiled; Lin Feifei was indeed a wonderful girl, considerate and virtuous too.
If he could win her over to be his girlfriend sooner, that wouldn’t be bad at all.
However, what gave Tangyu a headache was, if he pursued Lin Feifei as a girlfriend, would she still allow him to be close to other women?
If not, wouldn’t that mean forsaking the entire garden for one flower?
Alright, Tangyu admitted he was too flirtatious.
But that, he supposed, was the nature of a hero.
He shook his head; he didn’t want to think too much about this issue right now.
When the time came, he would address it then.
For now, he would take things one step at a time.
Tangyu remembered something his master, Ghost Doctor, had once told him—the true hero can have several extraordinary beauties at the same time.
Everyone talked about Wei Xiaobao, but which man wouldn’t want to be Wei Xiaobao?
Raised under the teachings of the Ghost Doctor, Tangyu was significantly influenced by this idea.
It wasn’t until he arrived in Donglin City that Tangyu slowly began to understand his master’s words.
Lin Feifei, Guo Momo, Liu Shanshan, Song Qingyu, Sister Xin, Liu Shiyi…
one by one, these extraordinary beauties entered Tangyu’s life and interacted with him.
Tangyu soon realized he felt a strong attraction to these women, occasionally indulging in fantasies and wanting to pursue them all.
But as he settled into life in Donglin City, he also noticed that women were rather possessive, especially regarding love.
They probably wouldn’t allow sharing with another.
So, what gave Tangyu a headache was how to resolve the issues between them.
He shook his head to temporarily dismiss this troubling thought and picked up his clothes.
He entered the bathroom, where a faint fragrance lingered.
It still carried the scent of Lin Feifei’s bath foam, which was somewhat tantalizing.
Men naturally have an innate ability to recognize the fragrances of a woman.
The scent of a woman could stimulate the secretion of a man’s hormones.
Thus, using a bathroom just after a beautiful woman could involuntarily provoke certain fantasies in a man, and he might even find it hard to control himself from wanting more.
Of course, that wouldn’t happen to Tangyu.
He quickly bathed and went directly to bed after leaving the bathroom.
Upon lying down, Tangyu’s gaze unintentionally fell on Lin Feifei’s face.
She was sleeping soundly, fully relaxed and open-hearted towards him, which is why she slept so deeply.
He admired her delicate and cute pink nose and her slightly pouting cherry lips, adorable yet with a hint of sexiness.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, girls are particularly attractive, their youthful innocence being a precious aspect of their lives, a period of transitional development.
Her long eyelashes made her eyes look very beautiful and charming.
Seeing her face, Tangyu unconsciously felt a surge of impulse to lean down and kiss Lin Feifei.
He had a unique feeling for Lin Feifei that he didn’t have for other girls.
This feeling was hard to articulate, just a very subtle sense.
As soon as this thought emerged, it was difficult to suppress and only intensified.
Tangyu secretly pursed his lips, slowly leaning closer to Lin Feifei.
Soon, Tangyu felt the breath from Lin Feifei’s nose, which surprisingly had a hint of fragrance.
Tangyu’s lips quickly approached Lin Feifei’s lips, and he smelled a faint sweet aroma, further fueling his impulse.
“Click—”
“Boom—”
Suddenly, a thunderous noise shook the heavens, startling the night, with thunder crashing as if it were midnight thunder.
This thunderous sound instantaneously woke Lin Feifei from her sleep, causing her to scream in fright and instinctively hug Tangyu.
As their bodies were already almost at zero distance, when Lin Feifei abruptly clung to him, their lips naturally met.
Only then did Lin Feifei come to her senses, opening her eyes wide in a complex mix of surprise and fear, looking at Tangyu as her face quickly flushed red.
She tried to turn her face away and push Tangyu, but another thunder clap sounded, as if the sky were collapsing, shaking the building.
“Ah!” Lin Feifei got startled again and clung to Tangyu tightly.
“Don’t be afraid.
Just hold on tight and you won’t be scared.
I’m here,” Tangyu whispered into Lin Feifei’s ear, his lips curving into a slight smile.
This midnight thunder had indeed come right on time.
He wondered if it was a coincidence that a storm was brewing, or if the heavens were warning him.
