Chapter 260 The Guests Have Arrived
Time flies by like a fleeting moment. When Lin Xiyue slowly opened her heavy eyelids again, all she could see was the faint light filtering through the small, exquisite decorative holes in the curtains, which resembled twinkling stars.
The dim light allowed her to barely make out the general outlines of the room's furnishings.
"Ugh...beast!"
Lin Xiyue struggled to sit up, but even this slight movement triggered a sharp pain all over her body, as if she were being pricked by thousands of tiny needles.
Helpless, she could only collapse back onto the bed like a deflated balloon, angrily hurling a series of curses at the air in her face.
"What's wrong, honey? Why did you suddenly start swearing?"
However, shortly after she finished her angry rebuke, a familiar voice, tinged with obvious mockery, suddenly drifted from beside her.
Lin Xiyue turned around abruptly upon hearing the sound, only to see Molos leisurely walking out of the bathroom.
He had just finished showering, and his whole body was still steaming with moisture, as if he were shrouded in a thin layer of mist.
"You dare say that? My whole body aches! [○?｀Д′? ○]"
Lin Xiyue glared at Molos, her eyes full of accusation.
"Hehe, it's not my fault, baby. You must have gone to be a superhero and save the world last night."
While spouting nonsensical words to excuse himself, Moros shamelessly leaned over and kissed Lin Xiyue.
"You're talking nonsense! What superhero gets covered in injuries in just one night! ヽ(`Д′)?┌┛〃"
Lin Xiyue was almost laughing in exasperation. She patted Mo Luosi's mischievous hand, signaling him to stop moving.
"Of course there is. Isn't that guy playing Batman? He's covered in injuries every night, baby."
Moros used a story that Lin Xiyue had told him to refute her.
"You! You remember all of this so clearly! I told you to rest for a bit and you pretended not to hear me! <(￣ ﹌ ￣)>"
Lin Xiyue was even angrier.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Let me rub it for you."
When Moros saw Lin Xiyue's sullen face, he couldn't help but laugh. He put his arm around her waist, held her in his arms, and massaged her sore waist.
"How are you feeling now?"
Moros chuckled as he massaged her back and asked her a question.
"Hmm, that's better. A little to the left, be gentle."
Lin Xiyue closed her eyes, relaxed her body, and enjoyed the massage from Molos, while pointing out to Molos where she felt more comfortable during the massage.
"Ring ring—"
The crisp and loud doorbell suddenly rang, breaking the warm and sweet atmosphere between Moros and Lin Xiyue.
At this moment, they are snuggling together, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
However, the sudden ringing of the bell acted like an invisible barrier, abruptly pulling the two from their beautiful world back to reality.
The doorbell at the downstairs entrance is connected to the bell inside the room by a thin wire; this unique design was specifically requested by Lin Xiyue.
She believes that if guests visit and the situation is only known by installing surveillance cameras and viewing the footage, it may make some guests feel uncomfortable, since no one wants to be constantly monitored. Moreover, if the mute button on the camera is accidentally pressed, important visitor information may be missed.
Therefore, although this small bell device seems simple, it is a very practical and thoughtful little device for Lin Xiyue.
"Ring ring—"
The bell rang a second time, and Lin Xiyue finally pulled Mo Luosi's hand and told him to stop, so they could get up and prepare to greet the guests.
"Hey, stop knocking, come in."
Melos gently pushed open the shop door, and with a soft creak, his gaze fell on the girl who was standing quietly at the door.
The little girl was slightly plump and rounded, but she exuded cuteness and playfulness. At this moment, a hint of anxiety appeared on her fair face, as if something important needed to be dealt with.
She was wearing a blue and white tracksuit, which made her look exceptionally fresh and energetic.
When Melos shifted his gaze to her chest, he noticed a small icon pinned there—a school badge. After careful examination, he realized that the badge belonged to the school An Qing attended.
Looking behind her, she also has a cute pink backpack, decorated with various exquisite little decorations.
Moreover, even the clothes she wore were meticulously embroidered with delicate, girlish patterns, details that undoubtedly revealed the girl's sensitive nature and unique personality.
"Please sit down, the manager will be down in a bit."
Meros squinted at the girl and stepped aside to let her into the shop.
After hearing what Moros said, the little girl relaxed and carefully sat down on the sofa in the living room.
"Huh? You're—the Magic Master Little Conch? ヽ(゜Q。)ノ?"
Lin Xiyue's voice rang out shortly after the little girl sat down.
She looked at the little girl, hesitated for a moment, and then said her online name.
"Ah! This, this, um, it's, it's me. ?(? ???w??? ?)?"
The girl was already a little nervous, and when she heard Lin Xiyue read out her online name, her cheeks turned bright red. But she couldn't say anything, and in the end, she could only stammer out the online name.
"Hello, I'm Lin Xiyue, the store manager. You can just call me Manager Lin. ヾ(?°?°?)??"
Lin Xiyue walked up to the little girl and smiled as she extended her hand to her.
"Hello, Manager Lin. My name is He Hailuo, or you can call me Conch. Please, please don't call me by my online name anymore."
That charming little girl, oh dear, no, no, it should be He Hailuo.
Her rosy cheeks instantly flushed bright red, like ripe apples, and her little hands waved frantically, as if trying to dispel the awkward atmosphere in the air.
When she heard Lin Xiyue shout out her online name, an indescribable sense of embarrassment welled up inside her.
When she chose this online name, she was in her youth, full of youthful exuberance and a bit of a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) vibe.
At that time, she thought the name was incredibly cool and felt extremely awesome!
However, being called out so bluntly in this real world made her wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground. Even if no one was looking at her with any particular gaze, she still felt extremely embarrassed.
That awkward feeling was truly unbearable!
