Chapter 939: Chapter 940: Sympathy for the Similarly Afflicted

Because the quilt was propped up high, Lin Luor curled up in the crook of his legs. The bedroom quilt, as well as the bed itself, were thick, soft, and large; with Chu You’s knees raised, if one wasn’t paying attention, even an adult wouldn’t notice there was a person underneath.

Furthermore, how could the other party tell when it was just a little girl?

Although Bao’er was in her pajamas, they were tight-fitting, revealing a delicate and soft figure.

Her disheveled soft hair and the bangs on her forehead casually draped down, when paired with Bao’er’s exquisite yet innocent face, was absolutely endearing.

However, just then, the soft light in the bedroom went out.

"Hmm? Is there a power outage?" Bao’er looked up at the ceiling in surprise, then immediately turned her gaze to Chu You.

The mobile phone was still on, casting a faint light on Chu You’s face, which seemed rather forced, and the eyes that were a bit strange, "Gulp... seems like it."

"Why is there a power outage?" Bao’er looked out the window; the curtains obscured the view, but the lights on the road outside were still visible, "There doesn’t seem to be a power outage outside."

"Uh, then it’s probably a problem with the house," Chu You said with embarrassed guilt.

There was no way there could be a power outage in Yuanjing City; it would never happen in this lifetime. What had just happened was he used telekinesis to cut off the electricity to the small lamp.

Bao’er noticed that Chu You’s gaze at her was somewhat strange, all because the phone’s light in the environment emphasized the odd look in his eyes.

Without reason, Bao’er’s heart skipped a beat, feeling tense.

"Brother, you seem a bit off," Bao’er spoke softly.

"Thinking nonsense. Come on, let’s go outside and check," Chu You was suddenly spurred to action, immediately cutting off the image that appeared in his mind from within the nest of blankets, not daring to continue the thought.

"Ah? Oh," Bao’er could only stand.

Chu You moved his legs, with somewhat exaggerated movements, in order to cover Lin Luor’s body, while also trying to block Bao’er’s line of sight as much as possible.

However... Chu You suddenly froze, eyes slightly vacant, staring at a certain spot, as if suddenly struck by a thought.

"What’s wrong?" Bao’er was completely baffled by Chu You’s behavior.

Chu You looked at Bao’er with a strange expression and said, "Bao’er, uh... you, uh, maybe..."

"What’s wrong?" Bao’er stamped her foot gently, very puzzled by Chu You’s demeanor.

"I, I just finished bathing, and I’m not wearing anything on my body. Maybe you should go out first?"

"Ah? Never mind, I’m going back to my room to sleep." Bao’er had come here just to lay on the bed, but given the situation, she decided it was better to go back to her own room to sleep and to take care of her urgent need.

"Hehe..." Chu You could only respond with a wry smile.

However, just as Bao’er opened the bedroom door, the light that had been extinguished came back on.

"Aie? The power’s back on." Bao’er stood at the doorway in astonishment, then her gaze fell on Chu You.

It looked indeed like that was the case, that her brother must not be wearing anything, but why was he not wearing anything?

By this time, Chu You had maintained his previous state, making it impossible for Bao’er to see the person beneath the blanket.

His face still held an awkward yet gentle smile, but he immediately felt that something was off and changed to an expression of surprise similar to Bao’er’s, indicating that he too was puzzled by the sudden return of power.

"Yeah, what’s going on? Seems like we need to get someone to check it out tomorrow."

"Oh, then I’m leaving, you should rest early."

"Okay, I still want to check things out, please close the door."

"Oh, uh," said Bao’er as she closed the bedroom door.

With a ’thud,’ the door really did close, and Chu You didn’t move. Using his special ability, he locked onto Bao’er, and only after he sensed that Bao’er had entered the second-floor public bathroom, did Chu You uncover the blanket.

Underneath was Lin Luor.....

...

After everything that needed to be done was taken care of, Lin Luor then returned to her own bedroom. She was very shocked and puzzled by the fact that Bao’er had come to Chu You’s bedroom late at night.

Chu You explained to Lin Luor, telling her about the experiences at the Youyou Orphanage, the isolation she faced, and the influence of her teachers, among other things.

"Homer, Bao’er’s emotional state is rather special, and I hope you can understand that. Growing up in that kind of environment, influenced by those events, Bao’er really lacks a sense of security," he said.

"Before you came back, Bao’er used to sleep in my bed."

"Of course, she has slept in your room once too, haha."

After listening carefully to Chu You’s explanation, the knot in Lin Luor’s heart unraveled and she also began to feel sympathy towards Bao’er.

While Lin Luor’s family situation wasn’t exactly like Bao’er’s, with parents deceased and relatives gone, it was nearly the same; Lin Luor only had her mother, her father was in prison and unlikely to get out in this lifetime.

Then, when that moment came, her other relatives kicked her while she was down. In short, aside from her mother, she didn’t have any relatives.

Therefore, Lin Luor felt a sense of shared misery with Bao’er. To some extent, the two were alike.

So Lin Luor didn’t ponder further, she was naturally a kind-hearted girl.

"I’m so lucky that we, belonging to problematic families, both met you. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what my life would be like in the future." Lin Luor leaned on Chu You and said, her face still bearing the afterglow of their intimacy, her eyes filled with excitement.

Meeting Chu You was truly wonderful!

"Don’t worry, Homer, I would never leave you at any moment, same goes for Bao’er," he reassured her.

"Mm, I know, but I won’t sleep here tonight. If Bao’er comes in again, I... I’d be too embarrassed."

Actually, by that time, Chu You had also come to understand that Bao’er knew Lin Luor was his girlfriend, so it was perfectly reasonable for a girlfriend to sleep with her boyfriend.

The situation earlier was indeed special because Bao’er suddenly came in, and with the two of them in that state, it was hard to explain.

Well, it seems like when there’s time, I must show more intimacy in front of Bao’er?!

Thinking this, Chu You’s expression darkened. How was it possible to deliberately be affectionate with Lin Luor in front of Bao’er?

Who was Bao’er? Bao’er was his wife from a past life, always steadfast and true!

How could he let Bao’er witness such a scene?

Meanwhile, Chu You also vaguely felt that Bao’er’s attitude towards him had changed. This change had started from the moment in the game when he had openly acknowledged Bao’er as his girlfriend in front of Green Lantern Ning—a shift had occurred in Bao’er’s heart.

And this shift was one he had been covertly hoping for. Although Bao’er was still young and ignorant about some things, yet... yet it wouldn’t prevent the sprouting of those feelings in her heart.

If it’s going to sprout, let it sprout then.
