Chapter 160: Chapter 160: I Know I Was Wrong
Tears welled up in Yu Anni's eyes. She clenched her teeth, trying to hold them back, but she couldn't. With a loud wail, she cried out, "I don't want to leave!"
Her sudden outburst startled both Lin Lang and Ding Xinrou. They turned to look at her in surprise, only to see Yu Anni crying like a character from a cartoon, tears streaming down her face. Lin Lang, puzzled, asked, "Who said you had to leave?"
"Hic!" Yu Anni abruptly stopped crying and looked at Lin Lang with teary eyes. "Aren't you here to kick me out?"
Lin Lang sighed. "No." At least not today.
Still sniffling, Yu Anni pointed at Ding Xinrou. "But if she's moving in, don't I have to make room for her?"
Lin Lang replied, "There's more than one bedroom here."
Unit 2102 had the same layout as this one, and it housed six people, including Lin Lang. This unit only had two people living in it. How could there not be enough space? "Oh!" Yu Anni wiped her tears, realizing she had misunderstood.
But she didn't feel much relief. She knew this would eventually become a reality because Lin Lang had previously said—either become his woman or leave this place.
...
"If it's inconvenient for you, I can find another place to stay," Ding Xinrou said, blinking at Yu Anni.
"No, you can stay here," Yu Anni sighed. This was Lin Lang's house, and it wasn't her place to decide what was convenient or not.
She then turned to Lin Lang, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's talk!"
Lin Lang glanced at her indifferently. "Sure, let's talk."
Yu Anni decided to lay it all out, not caring that Ding Xinrou was standing right there. She blurted out, "Lin Lang, I'm willing to be your woman now!"
...
In a private room at the café in Bada Plaza, Shen Chuchu and Yan Lan were watching this scene unfold through Ding Xinrou's perspective. "Ah!" Shen Chuchu was the first to explode in anger. "That bitch! Another bitch! How dare she throw herself at him? Shameless! It's these bitches who are corrupting Lin Lang!"
Seeing these women, one after another, delivering themselves to Lin Lang like takeout, Shen Chuchu completely lost it. It made her, the official girlfriend, look like she didn't know what she had. Yan Lan, however, just sighed. "Why do these women always have to get involved with men?"
And such a beautiful woman at that! What kind of magic did Lin Lang possess to make these women fall head over heels for him? ...
"Oh?" Back at Happiness Residential Complex, Unit 2202, Lin Lang was surprised by Yu Anni's sudden surrender, but not overly so. He remained calm, having already imagined and prepared for all possible outcomes.
...
"But!" Yu Anni continued, her tone resolute, "You have to promise me one thing—you can't keep being hot and cold with me!" It seemed the girl still didn't fully grasp her situation.
Lin Lang, hearing this, simply said, "It's fine. You can take a few more days to think about it. No rush."
With that, he led Ding Xinrou into an empty bedroom, leaving Yu Anni standing in the living room, completely stunned—
Wait... a few more days to consider?
No!
Hadn't she already agreed? What was there left to consider? Did he want her to agree or not? Yu Anni felt like she was being driven mad by this man! What was he thinking? Why couldn't she figure it out no matter how hard she tried?
The empty bedroom.
Lin Lang took out some daily necessities from his space—
A bed, a desk, a chair, a bedding set, towels, hangers...
Seeing him conjure so many items out of thin air!
Ding Xinrou was astonished:
"Is this a spatial ability?"
Lin Lang replied calmly, "Yes."
...
Far away at Bada Plaza, Shen Chuchu and Yan Lan were equally shocked when they saw this scene:
"Spatial ability? Lin Lang actually awakened a spatial ability?!"
In a post-apocalyptic world lacking resources!
This ability to store and transport supplies!
Was nothing short of miraculous! No wonder Lin Lang was living so comfortably! His space must be filled with an enormous amount of supplies! Shen Chuchu was green with envy—
Why! Why wasn't she the one who awakened the spatial ability?
Yan Lan, however, looked pleased:
"Sending Xinrou to monitor Lin Lang was indeed a brilliant move!"
"Look! This is a crucial piece of information!"
"We've finally uncovered one of Lin Lang's trump cards!"
...
Happiness Residential Complex.
Room 2202. Ding Xinrou's bedroom.
Lin Lang took out many items and piled them in the middle of the room, saying to Ding Xinrou, "You can tidy up yourself!"
He didn't have time to help Ding Xinrou clean the room! Not that he was unkind.
After all, Ding Xinrou was also an Esper.
No matter how delicate she might seem.
She wouldn't be overwhelmed by such a small task.
"Okay!"
Ding Xinrou responded cheerfully.
Lin Lang then walked out.
But.
As soon as he stepped out of the bedroom.
Yu Anni, who had been lying in wait at the door!
Suddenly pounced on him! Burying her head in his chest.
She murmured, "I understand now."
Seeing this, Lin Lang raised an eyebrow, "What do you understand?"
Yu Anni's voice was faint, almost inaudible:
"I know I was wrong."
But Lin Lang pressed on, "What exactly was wrong?"
Yu Anni then looked up, her eyes brimming with tears:
"There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
"You've helped me so many times before, even saved my life!"
"But not only did I not repay you!"
"I took your kindness for granted!"
"That was wrong!"
"So!"
"I shouldn't have made you apologize; instead, I should be the one apologizing to you!"
"It's not that I'm willing to be your woman, but..."
"Such great kindness is beyond repayment, so I can only offer myself to you!"
Hearing this.
Lin Lang's eyes visibly softened.
But he still deliberately put on a stern face, "Not deep enough!"
"Huh?"
Yu Anni thought seriously again.
Had she missed something? But after racking her brains for a long time!
She still couldn't figure it out! So she pleaded pitifully:
"Can you give me a hint?"
...
Lin Lang said calmly, "Talking about repaying kindness."
"That's also a form of moral coercion!"
"And I never force women, in any aspect!"
Upon hearing this!
Yu Anni suddenly understood! She stood on her tiptoes.
And kissed Lin Lang on the lips.
Then she boldly declared, "Lin Lang!"
"I want to be your woman!"
"Not to repay you!"
"But because I'm already madly infatuated with you!"
"Without you!"
"My life can't go on!"
"Please, take me!"
Having said all this.
Yu Anni completely let herself go! Dignity! Face! A girl's reserve!
All of it could go to hell! Right now, she only wanted Lin Lang!
She wanted to seize everything she could grasp! Therefore!
A long-lost warmth finally appeared on Lin Lang's face:
"Is that so."
"Is this profound enough?"
Yu Anni wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her face intimately against his.
"If even this isn't enough!"
"Then I can only."
"Speak with actions."
...
"Don't rush! Let's go to the bedroom and talk in detail!"
Lin Lang carried her in his arms like a princess.
Then he strode into the bedroom.
And closed the door.
