33: Chapter 33 I'm Not Sleepy...

[Detected that Qin Lan is completely devoted to the host, favorability is stable at 100, shared talent [Strength Enhancement] is fully merged, host's strength increased to 200%, capable of tearing apart a Tier 2 Monster with bare hands!]

[Qin Lan's talent has advanced to A-rank [Overlord's Strength], melee explosive power doubled, defense significantly increased!]

A warm current swept through his entire body; in that instant, Lin Zhou felt his body filled with explosive power.

This feeling of surging power was simply too good.

It was completely different from the feeling he had when he gained the ability boost from Jiang Wanxing.

Jiang Wanxing's was a Speed Boost; the body becomes very light, as light as a feather.

While Qin Lan's is strength, that kind of power where one punch could kill a cow.

Each has its own merits, but both feel great.

"Oh my god, I really have advanced to an A-rank talent! I feel like the strength in my body right now has more than increased tenfold compared to before!"

At this moment, Qin Lan exclaimed excitedly.

Although she had been relentlessly worn out by him for over two hours, the increase in strength left her without any signs of weakness.

On the contrary... she had even more energy...

Seeing this scene, he didn't give Qin Lan any chance to speak and pulled her into his arms...

"Stinky Lin Zhou, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Qin Lan, who hadn't yet recovered from the excitement, was immediately startled by Lin Zhou's actions; her pretty face turned red, and she hurriedly retorted.

"We killed a Tier 3 Monster today, let's celebrate..."

Lin Zhou said solemnly.

"Celebrate..."

Qin Lan was speechless.

However... Lin Zhou didn't give her any more chances to speak.

"Huh? Waner, why are you still in the living room? Why aren't you back in your room sleeping? There shouldn't be any crisis at this time. Besides, the Villa has an automatic alarm function, so there's no need for anyone to stand guard."

After another two hours, having worn Qin Lan out until she fainted, he came out to find water to drink.

The physical exertion was too great, and his body was dehydrated.

However, when he came out, he found Su Waner sitting alone on the sofa, watching TV.

Her gaze was a bit unfocused; it was unclear if her mind was actually on the TV.

"Brother Lin Zhou, you... you've come out..."

Su Waner stood up hurriedly and asked a question somewhat awkwardly.

After saying these words, she realized something was off and felt even more embarrassed.

Whether he came out or not, what did that have to do with her?

Moreover, this sentence sounded as if she had been waiting here for Lin Zhou to come out the whole time.

Thinking of this, her pretty face flushed to the extreme.

She was usually quite smart, so how could she have said such a stupid thing at this critical moment? She really wanted to die!

"Yeah... I've come out! Oh right, Waner, I'd like a cup of coffee. There's a coffee machine over there; could you help me make one? Of course, if you want some, you can make one for yourself too."

Seeing Su Waner's flustered expression, Lin Zhou grinned, walked over to the sofa, sat down, and said slowly.

"Sure, sure, of course, I'll go make it for you right now!"

Hearing this, Su Waner breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

After saying this, she turned and walked towards the coffee machine as if fleeing.

She was also deeply moved in her heart.

How could she not know that Lin Zhou was helping her divert the awkwardness?

But thinking that the other girls were all asleep, and Lin Zhou had just come out.

Wouldn't they be a lone man and woman alone in the same room next?

Thinking of this, Su Waner's heart became extremely tense.

If Lin Zhou wants to... wants to do something excessive later, should I refuse or not?

But if I refuse, he will definitely be angry.

But if I don't refuse, I... I haven't prepared myself mentally yet?

Listening to the sound of the coffee machine, her thoughts were already in a mess.

"Waner, what are you spacing out about?"

She didn't know how much time had passed; Su Waner, who was lost in her own thoughts, suddenly heard a voice beside her ear and was startled into snapping back to reality.

She turned around subconsciously and bumped directly into Lin Zhou's chin.

This made her hurriedly cover her head and cry out in pain.

"Sorry Waner, I didn't mean to."

Seeing this, Lin Zhou subconsciously reached out to rub the top of Su Waner's head.

It was precisely this gentle action that made Su Waner, who was in a lot of pain, feel better instantly.

Especially hearing Lin Zhou's gentle words, her heart softened.

Such gentle words, such a gentle action—wasn't this exactly her standard for a partner?

She, who was already very embarrassed, was even more embarrassed now.

Her whole body was tense, and she didn't dare to move.

She didn't know if it was because Lin Zhou's actions made her so tense that she didn't dare to move, or if deep down, she didn't want to move.

She enjoyed Lin Zhou's actions very much, and even thought to herself that it would be nice if he could do this more often in the future.

Wouldn't this... allow her to have deep interactions with Lin Zhou in a legitimate way?

"It's... it's nothing! It was my fault, it actually has nothing to do with you."

Su Waner hurriedly replied.

Facing such an action, Su Waner no longer had the courage to look up.

She kept her head lowered, allowing Lin Zhou to continue his actions.

"I saw that you had been standing here for a long time, and the coffee machine had stopped for a while. Seeing that you weren't moving, I thought you were feeling unwell, so I came over to check..."

Lin Zhou explained.

"Ah? For... for a long time?"

Hearing this, Su Waner was stunned.

She hurriedly turned around, and when she saw that the coffee machine had long since stopped, her pretty face flushed to the extreme.

Embarrassing...

So embarrassing!

Just now, she had been lost in her thoughts so deeply.

The coffee machine stopped, and she hadn't even realized it.

And in the end, she was caught red-handed by Lin Zhou; this was really too embarrassing.

"What... what were you thinking about just now? It's fortunate that we are in the Villa; if this were when dealing with Strange Monsters, you would be in danger!"

Lin Zhou couldn't help but say.

"I... I know! I won't do it again in the future!"

Hearing this, Su Waner nodded hurriedly with a flushed face.

Could she say the reason?

Definitely not.

If she said it, she would really have no face to see Lin Zhou in the future.

She had been distracted just now because she was thinking about him too intently; if she said that out loud, wouldn't Lin Zhou laugh her to death?

"If you are not feeling well, go and rest! The Villa's defense is very strong, you can sleep soundly!"

Lin Zhou looked at Su Waner strangely, then couldn't help but say.

"I... I'm not sleepy for now! Brother Lin Zhou, go sit on the sofa, I... I'll pour you the coffee right now!"

Upon hearing that she should sleep, Su Waner immediately became unwilling and hurriedly spoke up.

She had come out precisely because she couldn't sleep; if she went back now, thinking about the scenes that had just happened, she could almost be certain that she would definitely suffer from insomnia tonight.

Since that was the case, it would be better to spend the time where it should be spent.

For example... seeing if she could conquer Lin Zhou tonight?
