Chapter 1618: Chapter 1618: Lin Tong’s Resolve

Leng Qiuge narrowed her beautiful eyes, smiling like a mischievous kitten.

"I say, little vixen, everything should be done in order." Liu Ying interrupted at this moment, "Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I go first. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, you go first. And on Sunday, the draw determines; have you forgotten? Today’s Monday, you know."

Leng Qiuge’s smile froze, as if she fell from heaven to the depths of despair.

Life is too short, so enjoy it while you can.

Tonight, Ye Xuan’s flamboyant maneuver was impeccable, moving Lin Tong to tears, entirely devoid of her former noble and aloof demeanor.

What does this signify?

No need to guess; it’s clear that after tonight, Lin Tong will definitely be compliant with him in every way. Maybe not all, but at least for this once, the progress is unprecedented, and she won’t reject his demands as much!

With such rejoicing news, how could Ye Xuan not feel proud? Why shouldn’t he celebrate?

Thus.

He was guided by Liu Ying to her room.

Then.

He was urged by Leng Qiuge to go to her room.

Later.

He went again to Liu Ying’s room.

...

Tonight was a sleepless night, Ye Xuan decided to revel through the night.

Naturally, it wasn’t just because he was in good spirits, but also after today’s heavy battle at Canglang Island, the suppressed post-war stress was rearing its head.

While Ye Xuan was extremely busy, Lin Tong lay on her soft bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She had insomnia.

Why was she sleepless?

Because Lin Tong was restless.

This isn’t about prudence or shamelessness; it’s an inherent instinct shared by everyone, men and women alike.

If it were before, Lin Tong wouldn’t have much of a feeling because she never cared much about such things, not even curious.

But today, at this very moment, Lin Tong was like enchanted, hearing the vaguely tantalizing sounds, her heart became increasingly restless and impulsively thought of going to Ye Xuan’s room to sleep.

Why is this?

"Is it because tonight was too moving?"

Lin Tong clutched her bedding tightly, trying hard to remain rational, her gaze distracted and beautiful eyes swirling, murmuring to herself.

Lin Tong could feel that her change tonight was truly significant, to the point of madness, beyond belief!

In the past, whenever such thoughts came to mind, her inner self would react with extremely strong rejection, even... fear!

But now, that sense of fear had barely diminished, and even the basic resistance was not as strong—when compared to the inner turmoil, it could be ignored.

Simply put, Lin Tong right now was as if the deeply buried instincts within her were being vehemently summoned, ready to burst forth.

Lin Tong’s head was thoroughly muddled.

"Should I go to Ye Xuan’s room or not?"

"I better not go; what if I hesitate when the moment comes, wouldn’t that put him in a tough spot?"

"Or should I go? After all, we’ve been registered for so long, how can there be a reason for separate sleeping arrangements? Can’t keep going like this, letting Qiuge and Xiao Ying work so hard every day?"

"Go, I must go!"

"Ye Xuan loves you so much, how can you bear to watch him live like this continuously?"

"He can openly speak of the hardest times in front of you, showing his deepest heart; what right do you have to remain closed off? He’s so clever, surely he knows; if you keep quiet, how heartbroken would he be?"

"The reward he desires is merely for you to be happy every day, so simple, and that’s truly love, a deep love!"

"Lin Tong, you can’t continue being selfish like this; if you do, you’ll lose him eventually, and by then, crying till you’re dry-eyed will be too late."

"You can’t do things you’ll regret; tonight since you have this thought, why not strike while the iron is hot, after tonight, such an impulse may be hard to come by!"

"..."

After a fierce internal struggle, Lin Tong bit her teeth, resolutely got out of bed, and with a determination akin to facing death, left her room without hesitation and entered Ye Xuan’s room.

The young should have the impulse of youth; overthinking everything, that’s what older folks do!

Today, just one time of indulgence!

At the moment she dashed into Ye Xuan’s room, Lin Tong suddenly felt liberated as if she had been living incarcerated all those years, utterly devoid of freedom.

Only at this moment, like standing on clouds high in the sky, feeling elated!

"Should have done this sooner!"

Lin Tong exhaled heavily, relieved.

Her mood shifted again with a mix of excitement and nervousness.

Finally...

Her pretty face blushed deep red, almost to the point of squeezing water out.

Nervousness intermingled with excitement, excitement intermingled with anticipation, anticipation intermingled with happiness...

Lin Tong quietly closed the door, like a young girl experiencing her first crush, rushing to see the man she loves, hurriedly entering the bathroom, grooming her hair in front of the mirror, tidying her nightgown.

"Truly beautiful!"

Finished, she couldn’t help but smile at the mirror reflecting a picturesque beauty, then stepped out of the bathroom.

She turned on the main light in Ye Xuan’s room, carefully adjusting the lighting, filling the room with warm, lyrical tones, conducive to expressing emotions.

Subsequently, Lin Tong adjusted the placements of various objects in Ye Xuan’s room.

The previously casual room, under Lin Tong’s efforts, quickly became neatly organized, providing a highly comfortable visual sensation upon taking it all in.

This environment will keep Lin Tong at absolute ease, helping alleviate pressure and avoiding a letdown at critical moments.

Finally, after carefully examining the room to ensure everything was okay, Lin Tong then lay on Ye Xuan’s large bed, calmly waiting for Ye Xuan’s return. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Smelling the lingering scent of tobacco on the bedding, along with that man’s unique aroma, Lin Tong’s pretty face flushed red, happy like a blooming flower: "Is this me throwing myself at him? Never thought one day I’d do such a thing."

With a faint smile, Lin Tong lay properly on the bed, starting to imagine Ye Xuan’s return scenario.

Suddenly.

Lin Tong’s eyebrows perked, as if realizing something: "Does lying this neatly make me seem like a corpse?"

"That won’t do!"

Thinking this through, Lin Tong quickly grabbed her phone to look up various attractive positions to lie in.

She’s determined tonight, and didn’t want her lying on the bed resembling a corpse, potentially leading Ye Xuan to lose interest, ending up with nothing but awkwardness between them, right?
