Chapter 261

"What are you two still standing around for? Don't you go into the room and get on with it?" Wang Yi urged.

"Get on with what?" Lei Ting asked, confused.

"Stop pretending! Of course I want to hold my great-grandchild!" Wang Yi laughed. "Xiao Mei, I've saved some money here—it's enough for your wedding. Next Wednesday is an auspicious day; you'll get married then!"

"Huh?" Lei Ting was stunned.

Her head buzzed!

What?

Marriage?

Great-grandchild?

This… this… what even is this?!

"Grandma, don't worry, it'll happen," Lin Yu pulled Lei Ting into the room. "We're going to sleep now."

The door closed.

It was locked.

"Y-You said what? What… 'it'll happen'?" Lei Ting's voice faded to barely a whisper.

"Then what do you think I meant?" Lin Yu asked.

"H-How would I know!" Lei Ting glanced around, growing tense!

There was… only one bed!

And only one blanket!

And!

Only one long pillow!

There wasn't even a sofa nearby.

Was she really… going to spend the night with Lin Yu on one bed, under one blanket, with one pillow…

?!

Her face flushed, heart pounding, she swallowed hard.

Romantic novels never lacked scenes like this.

In the end…

In the end, the male and female leads would always…

While Lei Ting struggled with her decision, Lin Yu walked straight to the bed and rolled onto it.

This cotton blanket was warmer than a thousand-yuan velvet one.

It felt… like Grandma's embrace.

Lin Yu felt deeply at ease.

"Achoo!" Lei Ting sneezed.

Winter nights were cold.

And this was an island, surrounded by sea on all sides.

The sea wind blew.

Made it even colder.

Dressed thinly, she shivered.

"Come here," Lin Yu pulled back the blanket.

"I…," Lei Ting tugged at her sleeve, hesitating. "Never mind, you sleep. I'll be fine here… Achoo!"

Before she finished speaking, she sneezed again.

"Fine," Lin Yu deliberately turned off the light.

"Aaaah!!"

Lei Ting screamed in fright, instantly diving under the blanket and tightly clutching Lin Yu!

When she realized what she'd done, her heart pounded—she immediately let go of him!

"Why did you suddenly turn off the light?!" she whispered, half-scolding.

"How else are you going to sleep?" Lin Yu's tone held amusement. "Didn't you say you wouldn't come?"

"I suddenly decided I wanted to sleep in bed. Is that not allowed?" Lei Ting's wide eyes stared into the dark.

In the island's small house, once the light was off, not a finger could be seen.

She couldn't see Lin Yu's expression.

She only felt his breath, very, very near.

"Y-You can't do anything to me! Or else… I'll knock you flying! You hear me?" Lei Ting whispered a weak threat.

But after a long while…

No one responded.

Lin Yu's steady breath brushed against her neck.

He… was asleep?

Lei Ting's tense body slowly relaxed.

Perhaps…

He was terribly, terribly tired.

Lei Ting kept her eyes open, staring at the pitch-black darkness before her.

Outside, thunder rumbled and rain fell.

The wind howled against the windows.

She quietly tugged at the hem of Lin Yu's clothes.

If this had been before, when she was alone, she would surely have been so scared that she hid in a corner hugging herself and crying.

But now with Lin Yu by her side, she felt an immense sense of security.

She listened to the rain, the thunder, the wind, and sleep quickly crept over her.

Early morning.

Lei Ting was woken by the village chief's urging voice.

The return boat would arrive very soon.

Because of the weather, today there was only this one boat going back.

If they missed it again, they'd probably have to wait another week.

Having her sweet dream disturbed, Lei Ting frowned in some annoyance.

"This soft pillow today is really nice, it's even warm…" she murmured.

Suddenly!

She sprang up as if electrocuted!

Just as she feared!

Lin Yu was looking at her with a half-smile!

"L-let's go! Time to head back! Everyone's waiting for us!" Lei Ting didn't even care what she was actually saying anymore.

So embarrassing, so embarrassing!

She had no idea how long Lin Yu had been watching her!

Soft pillow, even…

Thinking of this.

Lei Ting was so mortified she wanted to die.

【149】 Locked on by Princess Peach!

After Lin Yu finished packing, he left the place.

Wang Yi was still resting.

He didn't say goodbye to Wang Yi.

His heart felt a little reluctant, and a little guilty.

"You've been absent-minded the whole time—missing granny?" Lei Ting asked softly.

"She… is someone I haven't seen in a long time," Lin Yu said.
