132. Li Na is Definitely a Creep!
==============================
Blink: Appearing in an instant within sight.
This spell requires such a high level; even if it’s unlocked, Lin Nan figures he wouldn’t know how to use it properly. It’s like a toddler who can’t walk trying to skateboard!
In that other world, the ranking system is pretty straightforward. But based on Lilith’s memories, Lin Nan thinks if the levels were calculated like in LOL or Honor of Kings, Witch Lilith and Saintess Li Na would be top-tier champions. In that world, there are only three to five players at that level, and Blink is the exclusive magic for them.
Lin Nan tried to find a bronze-tier escape spell, but it seems that this level resembles something like a smoke bomb—totally ineffective against Li Na.
Choosing a more middle-of-the-road option, there is a simple spell similar to Blink but with the effect of randomly blinking within a ten-meter radius. Think of it as a super short-distance random teleport. Lin Nan has read plenty of fantasy novels and played many games, so he understands this spell as a short-distance random flash like in LOL.
If it comes to escaping, Li Na likely wouldn’t teleport him back to the dormitory; she’d probably take him to an inn. If they’re on the first floor, this spell could whisk him instantly outside his room—or into someone else’s room… and with a ten-meter radius, that little hotel room isn’t quite that big.
But what if he suddenly appears in someone else’s room, or worse, floats in mid-air because they’re on the second or third floor…?
Lin Nan really knows nothing about magic. After a long indecision, he finally thought he just needed an escape spell he can handle. As long as he shows some resistance, Li Na shouldn’t force him, right? After all, she’s a Saintess, right?
With his thoughts clarified, he didn’t have high expectations for the magic’s effects, as long as he could display a firm refusal.
“Hmm…”
“Confessing to a crush under the watch of at least a hundred people… Dark Fog, a smoke-screen spell.”
“Being princess-carried by a crush for fifteen minutes… Invisibility, bending light for concealment.”
“Flaunting a sexy dance under the gaze of many… also Invisibility, but tricking others’ eyes to achieve the effect.”
“Flirting with a crush and getting a confession… Instantaneous Magic, capable of crossing ten meters in one second.”
“Sharing a bed with a crush… Unstable Blink, aka short-distance random flash.”
Lin Nan mumbled: “A crush must mean a guy, right?”
The last one, sharing a bed, would have been acceptable a month ago. Back then, although he was a bit feminine, he still had a pretty decent-looking face, and sleeping with familiar guys like Chen Yao or his Uncle felt low-risk. But now, Lin Nan really fears they might unleash their primal urges.
So, no unstable Blink!
Confessing under a crowd, dancing… sexy dancing. And being princess-carried! While it’s embarrassing, he’s done it with Chen Yao before. In comparison, it’s only a slight notch higher on the embarrassment scale. After that swimwear incident, his lower limits have plummeted, so he’d barely tolerate it, especially if he could act drunk to mask the awkwardness.
Getting confessed to also seems easy; there’s a charming spell. Just pick a guy and within ten minutes, the problem would probably be solved. He just fears that the guy he chooses will think, “Worst case, I’ll just keep him for three years…”
“What are you mumbling about?” Chen Yao, who was playing on his phone, turned to look at Lin Nan.
At that moment, Lin Nan was perched on the edge of the bed, legs hanging off and swinging back and forth as he tilted his head in thought, making him look quite cute in his current state. However, his mumbling about spells, princess carries, and dancing left Chen Yao a bit lost.
Has he gone wacko?
Lin Nan’s muttering was so quiet he could barely hear some phrases himself.
“Nothing,” he quickly shut his mouth, pulled his legs back onto the bed, and wrapped himself in the blanket like a sushi roll.
“Should be fine for the medical examination next week, right?” Chen Yao suddenly recalled the check-up scheduled for Tuesday. Knowing Lin Nan’s health situation made him worried. “What if they find something wrong…?”
“As long as there’s no ultrasound, they shouldn’t see anything,” Lin Nan forced a smile, looking down at his chest. “But, um… it’s getting a bit bigger.”
His roommates hang out with Lin Nan regularly, so the subtle swelling of his chest was hard to notice. Plus, he typically wore an extra sun-protective layer in the dorm and donned Chen Yao’s oversized jacket when outside. To outsiders, his chest had some contour but barely qualified on the normal male scale.
And his roommates never really paid attention to his chest, probably used to it by now.
If only he could gain some weight; then he’d proudly declare that his chest was just fat. Or if he bulked up a bit, he could claim it was all muscle!
Chen Yao’s gaze slightly lingered on Lin Nan’s chest. He swallowed hard, feeling a bit flustered.
He awkwardly shifted his attention away and looked instead at Xiong Da and Tu Junhui, who were busy gaming with headphones on, and deliberately changed the topic, “So what did Li Na say? You seem a bit down since you got back.”
Lin Nan hesitated for a moment. If he could convince Chen Yao to stay next door, then even if Li Na did try something weird with him, Chen Yao would burst in and save the day, right?
He beckoned Chen Yao closer with a finger.
“What’s up?”
Chen Yao approached cluelessly, leaning in to hear Lin Nan better, but once again caught a whiff of that lingering milky scent.
His body started to feel uncontrollably heated as he waited for Lin Nan to speak, and suggested, “Maybe it’d be better if we sleep foot-to-foot from now on.”
“Huh?”
Sleeping head-to-head with that milky scent always meant Chen Yao had been having strange dreams lately. He woke up each morning needing to swap out his underwear!
But of course, he couldn’t admit that! So he explained seriously, “Your phone screen is way too bright at night. It always hurts my eyes.”
“Fair enough,” Lin Nan readily accepted that suggestion, then finally began to share what was on his mind. “So, I’m going out with Li Na soon… want to tag along?”
Chen Yao looked a bit taken aback. “Why do you want me to go with you?”
“That Li Na is a total yuri creep!” Lin Nan didn’t hold back in accusing Li Na of her crimes. “She somehow found out all about me and is now using it to blackmail me into spending a night together! How is that fair?!”
No wonder Lin Nan looked so troubled after that chat with Li Na on the playground.
But Lin Nan still held onto his guy psychology—sleeping with a girl didn’t seem too bad, right?
But what if Li Na is a super creep who not only wants to sleep but also has toys to torture him with!?
Chen Yao immediately got furious, shouting, “I told you long ago you shouldn’t be hanging out with that idiot! She’s definitely a creep!”
Seriously, that girl is already thinking about advancing while Lin Nan is just thinking it through!
“Don’t you worry! I’m going to go pound her right now!”
