So just like that, Lin Fan obediently sat down in front of Xiao Yue as countless thoughts passed in his mind.
The number one thought was, “Would he finally be able to do it tonight?”
As Xiao Yue silently scrubbed his back for him, this was the main thought that was on his mind.
It would be his first time, so naturally he was very excited, but he was doomed to be disappointed in the end.
Once Xiao Yue had finished scrubbing his back for him, she stood up and prepared to leave.
Lin Fan thought that she was going to prepare for what came next, but then he heard her say something that filled him with disappointment.
She could clearly see what he was thinking, so she said in a slow voice, “I’m still not comfortable enough yet, so can we wait a bit longer?”
Lin Fan was disappointed, but he didn’t force her since he knew that these things couldn’t be forced.
Not to mention that he wasn’t a selfish person. If he was going to do this, he wanted to make sure that the other side enjoyed it as much as he did and that they wouldn’t be forced into doing something that they didn’t want to do.
After a slight pause, Lin Fan turned to look at her and he said with a nod, “Yes, you can take as long as you need.”
Xiao Yue had been a bit worried when she said this, but when she heard Lin Fan’s words, the worry in her heart disappeared and she was filled with happiness. She hadn’t been wrong about Lin Fan, her gamble had paid off in the end.
In fact, the only reason she had done this was because she had seen how close Tian Tian had been with Lin Fan at the Mercenary Guild.
She knew that if she didn’t make a move, she might lose him to someone else that would.
Since there was no denying the feelings in her heart, it was better to make a move before there was any competition, so she decided to go through with this. However, since this was her first time, she wasn’t as ready as she thought she was, which was why she had asked for a slight extension.
After Xiao Yue left the bathroom, Lin Fan gave a long sigh.
It wasn’t a sigh that was filled with disappointment, but rather a sigh that was filled with relief.
Even though he could see the affection rising, he didn’t know how far he was getting with Xiao Yue since he didn’t have experience with this kind of thing.
So when he saw her doing something like this, he could tell that he was on the right track and naturally he was filled with happiness from this.
As long as he continued like this a bit longer, then…
Thinking this, Lin Fan couldn’t stop the smile from appearing on his face.
He wasn’t in a hurry since he had plenty of time. For now, just confirming this was enough for him.
Then when he remembered the notification that he received this afternoon at the Mercenary Guild, his smile couldn’t help widening. After all, Tian Tian’s appearance was just too…
[Xiao Yue has been moved by your words. Affection has increased by 10.]
Lin Fan didn’t think of anything of this notification at all as he continued letting himself fall into his daydreams.
Once both of them were done with their showers, they were back in that room with the single bed. However, this time there wasn’t the wall of pillows in between them.
When Lin Fan laid down on the bed, this time Xiao Yue was facing him and even reached her hand out to hold his hand.
Just like this, the two of them fell asleep facing each other.
When the next morning came, Lin Fan woke up to Xiao Yue’s face right in front of his own.
She had her eyes closed and looked like she was still asleep, so he took the chance to have a careful look at her face.
He had to admit that her face truly was beautiful with its fine features and seeing it so close, he couldn’t help wanting to move his own face forward a bit.
But before he could, he suddenly heard her say, “It’s embarrassing if you look at me like this.”
Lin Fan jolted and realized that she had been awake the whole time.
Sitting up, Lin Fan gave a cough before getting out of the bed.
It was only then that Xiao Yue opened her eyes and sat up in the bed. She gave a yawn and stretched herself out before saying, “Good morning, young master.”
Lin Fan gave another awkward cough before awkwardly saying, “Good morning.”
The two of them got washed up and had their breakfast before heading off to the Mercenary Guild.
Even if they had earned quite a bit yesterday, that didn’t mean that they were done earning money just yet. After all, money was something that would be spent over time and if they stopped earning money, they would run out eventually after spending the current money that they had.
It was better for them if they continued taking missions now while they had extra funds, just in case anything happened.
When the two of them entered the Mercenary Guild, there were many different gazes that fell onto them. There were even a few people that were clearly looking away from them, pretending not to see them.
As they walked through, they heard all kinds of whispers around them.
“That’s the one who took out those three? He doesn’t look like much.”
“Don’t mess with him. I saw the way he was looking at people yesterday, he isn’t someone you want to mess with.”
“Wa, he’s so handsome! Let’s go talk to him later…Wait, why are you pulling me back?”
It was natural that people would take after what had happened yesterday since this kind of thing made for great gossip, so it spread quite quickly.
Lin Fan went right past all of them and headed to the mission board that was on the side of the hall.
After looking through it, he suddenly pulled one of the pieces of paper off the board and headed over to the reception desk.
When he arrived, he saw that it was Lala who was back on duty today.
When Lala saw Lin Fan standing at the counter, her eyes immediately lit up. But then she calmed down as she remembered what happened yesterday and the scolding that she had received.
She calmly came over to Lin Fan and asked, “Hello sir Lin, what can I do for you today?”
Seeing this kind of act from Lala, Lin Fan couldn’t help finding it strange since he had already established an image of her in his mind. The way that she was acting now really went against that image of her that he had.
But he didn’t let that bother him for long as he placed the piece of paper on the table and said, “Help me register this mission.”
Lala took the piece of paper without any hesitation and went over to the registry on the side to start recording it.
While she was doing this, she also said, “Sir Lin, I’m sorry about what happened yesterday.”
Lin Fan waved his hand and said, “It’s fine, it doesn’t matter.”
But Lala didn’t let it end there as she said, “No, it was my fault and I can’t just let it end without making it up to you.” She paused there and Lin Fan was about to say something, but what she said next made him swallow his words, “If you have time today, how about I treat you to a meal tonight as an apology?”
Lin Fan might have been a fool when it came to love, but when someone invited him this directly, it was hard for him to not understand what she meant.
Lin Fan was someone who had never been asked out like this before, so he didn’t know what to do.
But as his eyes swept over Lala, he couldn’t help giving a gulp.
After all, he had no choice but to admit that she was a beauty!
However, before he could even say anything, he heard a cold snort from behind him which caused him to reveal a bitter smile.
He knew exactly who it was from and he knew exactly why she was giving this cold snort.
While his goal was to have a harem, it didn’t mean that he was a scumbag that would hurt girls. Before he talked to her about this, he didn’t want to do anything that would potentially hurt their relationship.
So after a long pause, Lin Fan said in a calm voice, “It’s alright, there’s no need for that. Not to mention that I’ll be busy with this mission today.”
Lala had a clear look of disappointment, but she didn’t let it get her down as she said, “Alright, then how about we have a meal as friends some other time?”
Lin Fan revealed another bitter smile, but this time he said, “Alright, if I have some free time, we can have a meal together.”
After all, he could feel the other stinging gazes from behind him in the hall.
No matter what, Lala was considered a beauty, so it was natural that she would have her own fans among the mercenaries.
How could those fans accept their idol asking someone out like this?
It was impossible for them not to be jealous!
If Lin Fan were to reject her again in this situation, it was clear that a riot would have started, so he had no choice but to accept her invitation.
Lala just revealed a happy smile as she finished writing down all the information.
Once she was done, she took the piece of paper and handed it back to Lin Fan before saying, “Then good luck with your mission.”
Lin Fan just simply thanked her before walking out of the Mercenary Guild with Xiao Yue.
