194: Chapter 194 Gu Rongyu's Dormitory~

Inside the dormitory, Su Youwei held her phone, her face burning red.

Beside her stood Zhang Qiaoyun, who was also from Lin'an City.

She had known that Su Youwei lived in a single room and was curious about what it looked like, so she had come over to take a look.

She hadn't expected... that Lin Mo would call at this very moment.

And Su Youwei hadn't expected Lin Mo to say such things over the phone...

The call had been on speakerphone from the very beginning. That line about the "black silk maid outfit" had also fallen clearly into Zhang Qiaoyun's ears.

Even though Zhang Qiaoyun tried her best to feign composure, her eyes couldn't help but widen significantly.

She coughed lightly and turned to walk out onto the balcony.

Looking at the gloomy weather outside, she laughed awkwardly and said, "Oh my, the sunshine is really nice today..."

Su Youwei's face was practically burning red.

"Oh my, why are you saying that..."

"Qiaoyun is in my dorm."

"Alright, alright..." Su Youwei lowered her voice, "I know, I'll go buy it..."

She then hurriedly hung up the phone, fearing that Lin Mo might say something else that Zhang Qiaoyun would hear.

Su Youwei looked at Zhang Qiaoyun with an awkward smile, while Zhang Qiaoyun tried her best to change the subject.

"I have to say, this single dorm of yours is really nice. The environment is great, and there's even such a large balcony."

Zhang Qiaoyun looked down from the balcony, "The environment here on Girls' Island 1 feels even better than on our Island 3."

"Hehe..." Su Youwei could only nod awkwardly.

"It really is..." Zhang Qiaoyun suddenly sighed, "I'm so envious..."

It was unclear whether she was sighing about Su Youwei's living environment, that Su Youwei's boyfriend was Lin Mo, or perhaps... both.

...On the other side, Lin Mo, standing downstairs at the Girls' Island 3 dormitory building, couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl upward after hanging up the phone.

Tsk.

Su Youwei in a black silk maid outfit. Just thinking about it was exciting!

Lin Mo suppressed his excitement and called Gu Rongyu.

As soon as the call connected, Lin Mo said directly, "I'm downstairs at your dorm."

Gu Rongyu's beautiful head quickly peeked out from the balcony on the top floor of the dormitory building.

"I'm coming to get you!"

Gu Rongyu hurriedly ran downstairs and led Lin Mo inside the girls' dormitory.

Although this world wasn't particularly conservative regarding relations between men and women, there were still formations inside the dormitory buildings. Without a female student to accompany them, males were unable to enter the dorms on their own. Of course, this restriction existed in the boys' dormitories as well.

After Gu Rongyu brought Lin Mo into the girls' dormitory, Lin Mo kept his eyes fixed on her, refusing to look elsewhere.

Seeing this, Gu Rongyu couldn't help but chuckle, "Why are you so nervous?"

"I'm afraid that in your girls' dorm, you might have all sorts of clothes hanging out..."

"I don't want to get an eye infection from seeing things I shouldn't."

Gu Rongyu laughed even more happily, "Don't worry, everyone isn't that exaggerated."

Lin Mo finally relaxed a little. He scanned his surroundings. Hmm, it wasn't much different from the girls' dorms he had seen before.

However... Lin Mo soon realized that quite a few girls were casting gazes in his direction. After making eye contact, they even nodded at him.

"What's going on?" Lin Mo couldn't help but mutter.

Gu Rongyu pouted, "Isn't it because you stood up for the freshmen? They've taken a liking to you. They want to date you."

Lin Mo's expression immediately turned serious, and he said sternly, "That won't do. My girlfriend can only be my Gu Rongyu!"

The corners of Gu Rongyu's mouth curled up slightly, though she deliberately said, "I don't believe you."

"Maybe you have several other girlfriends behind my back!"

"How is that possible!" Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged, "My Gu Rongyu is so wonderful, how could I bear to let you down?"

Gu Rongyu's smile widened even more, "I should hope not."

Soon, the two arrived at the top floor. The top floor of this dormitory consisted entirely of single rooms, and no one disturbed them.

Gu Rongyu pulled Lin Mo into her room. As soon as they entered, Lin Mo smelled a faint fragrance.

The layout of the entire room was very simple: a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, and a bathroom. However, Gu Rongyu had compressed these functional necessities to the extreme, leaving a large, very empty space in the dormitory.

There was only a very clean floor. The dormitory walls were painted a uniform white, and Gu Rongyu hadn't stuck anything on them. The items on the bed were all moon-white, and the sheets and quilt were folded without a single wrinkle. The curtains were semi-transparent, plain white linen.

Because the weather was bad and rather gloomy today, a warm yellow lamp was placed by the bedside, bringing a touch of warmth to the room.

The room gave Lin Mo a feeling very similar to Gu Rongyu. At first glance, it felt very aloof, even a bit otherworldly. But after understanding her better, one would discover the warm, soft place in her heart.

Gu Rongyu said to Lin Mo with some embarrassment, "I was in a rush, so the room hasn't been fully tidied up yet."

Lin Mo said exaggeratedly, "You call this not fully tidied up? If you ever see my dorm, you'll probably think it's a pigsty."

Gu Rongyu couldn't help but laugh. This smile caused Lin Mo to lose his focus, and he stared, dumbstruck.

Gu Rongyu asked playfully, "What's the matter? Planning on just staring at me like this, and not telling me about your meeting with Elder Luo?"

Lin Mo snapped back to reality, took Gu Rongyu's hand, and sat on the edge of the bed. He recounted the situation in general terms.

Gu Rongyu was clearly excited, "That's a good thing! I heard from Captain Jiang that the Special Academy has much richer resources, and you can even enter the Demon Abyss trials early. She really wants to get into the Special Academy too."

Lin Mo nodded, "It is a good thing, but won't it take up a lot of time? I'm afraid I won't have enough time to spend with you."

Lin Mo had already planned this out early on. Since he was reluctant to let go of either and wanted to maintain relationships with both, time management was crucial. He had to instill the idea in them early on that he was very busy, and it wasn't that he didn't want to spend time with them intentionally. Otherwise, when the time came that both wanted his company, he wouldn't be able to split himself in two.

Gu Rongyu's reaction was within Lin Mo's expectations.

"What of it?"

"Although we are together, I don't want this relationship to become a shackle. I want you to become a better person. I will also strive to catch up to you!"

Gu Rongyu held her head high, "Hmph, you'd better keep up this momentum of forging ahead. Watch out, or I might just surpass you in a couple of days!"

Looking at Gu Rongyu's confident appearance, Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly. She and Su Youwei were truly two completely different existences. This sense of confidence and boldness made Lin Mo unable to get enough.

As if possessed, he reached out and removed the white jade hairpin from Gu Rongyu's head. Her silky black hair cascaded down behind her. For a moment, Lin Mo was dumbstruck.
