Chapter 208: Chapter 137: Wild Imagination

"I..."

"What ’I’?"

Lin Tianyang didn’t spare his feelings in the slightest, his face stern as he reprimanded him. "If you don’t have the strength, don’t go trying to prove yourself. If something actually happens, your death would be a trivial matter. The real problem would be getting everyone in this school killed because of you!"

"I was wrong. I’m sorry, Brother Yang."

The young Security Officer quickly lowered his head and apologized, not daring to show the slightest bit of defiance.

After hearing Lin Tianyang’s scolding, he realized he had spoken without thinking.

He was only thinking about sucking up to Gu Qing and Xia Shuran, trying to score some points with these two young Extraordinary Beings to pave the way for his future promotion.

He hadn’t considered at all that as a normal person, he had absolutely no ability to stand watch on the athletic field all night.

If any emergency occurred, he, as a normal person, would most likely be dead on the spot.

Realizing this, the young Security Officer felt a wave of fear wash over him and silently cursed himself for being so brainless.

「A few minutes later.」

Lin Tianyang, having finished his hamburger in a few quick bites, left the athletic field with the young Security Officer.

As soon as he walked out the gate, he sent a few messages to Gu Qing.

[Lin Tianyang: I’ve had the Security Officers cordon off the field. No one else can get in.]

[Lin Tianyang: For the rest of the night, it’ll just be you and Xiaoxia on the field. A guy and a girl alone in a tent... it’s the perfect chance to advance your relationship.]

[Lin Tianyang: Seriously, meeting a sweet and naive Extraordinary Awakened who only has eyes for you... that’s the kind of blessing you earn in a past life.]

[Lin Tianyang: Take a word of advice from someone who’s been there: you should seal the deal with Xiaoxia as soon as possible.]

[Lin Tianyang: Otherwise, once she matures and her horizons broaden, she might not be interested in an Extraordinary Contactor like you anymore.]

’Seal the deal as soon as possible?’

Gu Qing just smiled, not planning to take Lin Tianyang’s advice.

If he were a regular Extraordinary Contactor with a slow evolution speed and a low future potential, he would’ve made his move on his junior and sealed the deal with her without a moment’s hesitation.

But, unfortunately for that idea...

He was on cheats.

This "wise and farsighted" advice didn’t apply to him at all.

...

The night gradually deepened.

The vast athletic field was silent.

Xia Shuran crouched on the grass, watching with great interest as a swarm of mosquitoes landed on her, extending their short, thin proboscises and frantically trying to pierce her fair skin.

She found it hilarious to see these famished mosquitoes get so exasperated. Their proboscises were bending from the force of their attempts, yet they just couldn’t pierce her skin.

"Senior, look! These mosquitoes are so funny. They want to suck my blood but can’t pierce my skin. They’re all spinning around in frustration, it’s hilarious."

"It is pretty funny."

Gu Qing looked at the wild mosquitoes flying all around, smiled, and said, "I’ve even taken down the mosquito net at home. Every night, I deliberately sleep naked, letting all the thirsty female mosquitoes in my room see and touch me, but never get a taste. It drives them crazy."

Xia Shuran burst into a fit of giggles.

Her eyes curved into crescents. "Senior, you’re so mean, torturing the poor mosquitoes like that."

Gu Qing flicked his hand, precisely swatting a female mosquito that flew in front of him. He chuckled. "It takes a bad man to deal with a bad mosquito. You could say I’m getting revenge for all our fellow humans on Earth who’ve suffered from them."

"By the way, Senior, do you always sleep naked at home?"

Xia Shuran asked, looking down and tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks.

The question was too personal.

So personal it was embarrassing.

Gu Qing, however, didn’t find it awkward at all and answered naturally, "Yeah, I always sleep naked at home. It lets my body feel unrestrained all night. It’s comfortable and healthy."

’I’m so jealous of the mosquitoes in Senior’s room. They get to see him with no clothes on. If only I could see him too...’

As Xia Shuran thought this, the blush on her cheeks deepened. "I think I read somewhere that sleeping naked is healthier, that it can improve blood circulation or something."

Gu Qing turned to look at her and smiled lightly. "It’s true. You should try sleeping naked sometime. See what it feels like. I guarantee it’s a hundred times more comfortable than sleeping with clothes on."

"I’ll... try it sometime then."

As Xia Shuran said this, her cheeks were already burning hot and flushed a deep crimson.

「In the time that followed.」

The two of them continued to chat idly.

When midnight arrived,

Xia Shuran was getting a little sleepy and let out a big yawn.

Seeing this, Gu Qing said, "If you’re sleepy, go sleep in the tent. I’ll keep watch out here."

He had asked the Security Officers for a tent specifically for his junior to sleep in.

His junior’s Biological Level wasn’t high, so she still needed a lot of sleep. She couldn’t stay up all night like he could.

As an Advanced Creature, his need for sleep had been compressed to the absolute minimum.

Never mind pulling one all-nighter; he wouldn’t have a problem staying awake for a whole week straight.

He only needed to find fragmented moments in between to close his eyes and rest, and he could stay sharp the entire time.

Once the important business was done, he could go home, get some deep sleep, and his body would be instantly restored to full health and mana, with no harm done at all.

"I’m not sleepy yet."

Xia Shuran’s voice held a trace of weariness. "I’ll go sleep in the tent when I can’t keep my eyes open anymore."

Gu Qing laughed. "By that point, you’ll probably be so tired you’ll just pass out on the ground, and I’ll have to carry you into the tent."

Xia Shuran had originally been thinking she’d go into the tent to sleep once she couldn’t stay awake any longer.
