23: Can You Please Not Come So Early in the Morning
"Miss Bai, I'm begging you, could you please not suddenly appear in my room at this hour?" Leticia, sporting thick dark circles under her eyes, glared through gritted teeth at Bai Ling, who had suddenly appeared in her room just like before.
Yesterday she had lost sleep because of this guy's matter, and had finally managed to fall asleep, only to have this person teleport over with a "whoosh" not long after.
Please, she had only slept for less than three hours. Could she let her rest properly?
"I have something I need your help with." Bai Ling was dressed the same as before, her whole being radiating a fresh and refined aura.
"Could you please just fuck off? I only fell asleep at 4 AM yesterday. Let me get my eight hours of sleep." Leticia buried her head under the covers, planning to be a turtle hiding in its shell.
Bai Ling didn't speak anymore. She stood quietly in place, her crimson eyes calmly watching the bulge under the covers.
If Leticia wanted to sleep, then she could sleep. She would just stand here and watch Leticia sleep.
Could Leticia fall asleep?
No way.
If she were an ordinary person that would be fine, but the problem was that Leticia's perception was too sharp.
"Could you go back?" Pulling the covers down a bit, Leticia asked gloomily.
With this guy standing here, there was no way she could fall asleep.
Bai Ling calmly shook her head. "I won't disturb you."
"You standing here is disturbing me." Leticia said coldly. "So, what do you want from me?"
"Gaming, can't get past something." Bai Ling naturally stated the problem she encountered. "There's a mechanism somewhere that I can't solve."
"......" Leticia fell into silence for a moment.
After the silence, she threw off the covers and jumped in front of Bai Ling. "Can't you just check the forums?"
"What are forums?"
Seeing Bai Ling's genuinely confused expression, Leticia admitted her expectations for this guy had been a bit too high.
Bai Ling really, completely didn't understand all the various things of modern society!
"Can't you ask the Guild Leader? If not that, there's still Little Ya."
"The Guild Leader played with me for a little while then had something to do and left. Little Ya... I don't want to trouble her."
"So you came to trouble me early in the morning instead! We're enemies, enemies!" Leticia once again emphasized the relationship between her and Bai Ling. "Enemies, understand!"
Who runs to their enemy's house early in the morning to ask how to play a game?
"I don't consider you an enemy." Bai Ling reached out and grasped Leticia's wrist. "If you help me, I can agree to do one thing for you."
"Hah? Anything?"
"I trust you won't make a request that would put me in a difficult position." Bai Ling said flatly.
"Tch." Leticia snorted somewhat displeasedly. "Fine, fine, I don't want your repayment. Just stop bothering me so much in the future."
"That won't do." Bai Ling refused decisively.
Leticia didn't understand. "Why?"
"You're a threat. I need to ensure you won't do anything that would harm the world." Bai Ling explained seriously.
So in the end, she still didn't trust her.
The black-haired girl glared at Bai Ling indignantly. She just wanted to live a peaceful life, but why did this guy insist on interfering?
Before and now too, it was as if she and Bai Ling were incompatible.
Every time her life got on track, this guy would always pop up to give her a blow.
It was really annoying and frustrating.
"Actually, you don't reject contact with me, do you?" Bai Ling took Leticia's hand, stating facts. "Since just now, you've had countless opportunities to break free, but you didn't do so."
"I did not!" Leticia immediately pulled back her hand. Just as Bai Ling said, Leticia had indeed had countless opportunities to pull her hand back.
But Leticia didn't want to do that.
She didn't know what she was thinking. She just felt that Bai Ling's hand was very soft and warm, and she wanted to be held by Bai Ling's hand.
"I'll go back first. If you don't come in a bit, I'll tie you up and bring you." Noticing that Leticia was blushing slightly, Bai Ling nodded with some satisfaction. She had now confirmed one thing.
Leticia indeed didn't reject her.
This black-haired girl was indeed, as Bai Ya and the Guild Leader said, a classic tsundere.
Bai Ling's figure disappeared instantly, just as suddenly as when she had appeared.
Looking at the empty room, Leticia stomped her feet hard. "That bastard!"
"Your Majesty?" Xue'er opened the room door at this moment. "Breakfast is ready."
"Xue'er, you were outside the door the whole time, weren't you?" Leticia looked at Xue'er, whose expression seemed off.
"Cough cough, Your Majesty's feelings toward Miss Bai Ling seem quite complex." Xue'er's expression was somewhat complex. She really hadn't expected that her Majesty seemed to have developed some wonderful emotions toward Miss Sword Saint.
"I don't! She and I are irreconcilable!"
"Although it might not be appropriate for me to say this, but Your Majesty, having the courage to face your own heart is also a necessary condition for becoming strong."
