Conquer the other worlds with abandon, they've fallen in love with me!

After a long time, when both of their breathing had become even, Lin Yu gently pulled his arm out from under their waists.

He got out of bed, got dressed, and glanced back as he opened the door.

Belle rolled over, pulled the blanket up to her chin, and buried her face in the pillow without opening her eyes.

Arya curled up in the spot where he had just been lying, her fingers still clutching the corner of the blanket.

The door closed gently behind him.

The light of teleportation magic shone beneath my feet, and my vision shifted, revealing the guild's corridor bathed in moonlight, a tranquil silvery-white expanse.

He walked to Vera's office door, pushed it open, went through the outer room, and opened the door to the inner room.

There were no lights in the room, and the curtains were only half drawn. Moonlight streamed in through the window, spreading a rectangular patch of light across the floor.

Vera lay on her side on the bed, the blanket covering her waist, with one leg sticking out from under the blanket, bare, her ankles gleaming white in the moonlight.

Her face was turned toward the window, her eyelashes drooping, and her breathing was very light, as if she were fast asleep.

But Lin Yu noticed the trembling of her eyelashes.

When he pushed open the door, her eyelashes visibly trembled, and her breathing faltered for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

Her fingers gripped the edge of the blanket, tightening slightly at the fingertips before slowly loosening.

Vera was pretending to be asleep again, and Lin Yu didn't expose her.

He walked to the bed and sat down, the mattress sank slightly.

Vera's body swayed slightly with his movement, her eyelashes fluttered again, but she did not open her eyes.

Lin Yu bent down, slipped his arm through her back and under her legs, and scooped her up from under the covers, placing her on his legs.

When her back pressed against his chest, her body tensed slightly before relaxing, as if she had found a more comfortable position in her sleep.

Vera had her eyes closed, her lips slightly parted, and her head resting on his shoulder; she still looked like she was fast asleep.

But her fingers unconsciously gripped the fabric at his waist.

Lin Yu's hand slid down from her waist.

Vera's nightgown was made of silk, thin and light, and you could feel the warmth of her skin through the fabric.

His fingers hooked the edge of her nightgown and lifted it up, the hem bunching up at her waist, revealing her thighs.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, falling on her large skirt and shimmering with a delicate glow.

Without hesitation, Lin Yu gently pressed forward.

......

40 minutes —

Vera's eyes snapped open, and it took several seconds for her pupils to focus after they had been unfocused.

Her fingers slid down Lin Yu's back, gripping the fabric at his waist, her voice muffled in her throat:

"You jerk~ while I was sleeping—"

Lin Yu looked down at her, reached out and pinched her cheek lightly.

"I'm really sorry, but since you're awake now, let's come back when you're still awake."

"You—" Vera's voice changed, but she didn't finish her sentence because Lin Yu had already pressed against her.

Vera's fingers gripped the fabric of Lin Yu's back again, her head tilted back, her neck forming an arc.

The silvery tassels of moonlight moved slowly across the room's floor, from the bedside to the corner of the table, and then from the corner of the table to the windowsill.

Half an hour later—

Vera nestled in Lin Yu's arms, her face pressed against his chest, her breathing gradually becoming even from rapid to steady.

She looked up and poked his collarbone with her finger: "Carry me to wash up."

Lin Yu carried her into the bathroom, where steam rose and covered a small section of the window.

Vera leaned against the edge of the bathtub, her back pressed against his chest, her fingertips gently tracing patterns on the water's surface.

She glanced at him sideways, then rolled over to face him, straddling his waist, splashing water onto the ground.

Lin Yu gently tucked Vera's sweaty hair behind her ear and moved closer again.

"Why again~" Before Vera could finish speaking, Lin Yu's lips were already pressed against hers.

......

When Vera came out of the bathroom, she was so limp that she looked like she had been soaked in water.

Lin Yu put her back on the bed, tucked the blanket in, and lay down beside her.

Vera rolled over to face him, put her arm around his chest, pressed her face against his shoulder, and gently traced circles on his collarbone with her fingers.

"I've reached my limit~ You brat, you've already reached your limit in just a few days~" Her voice was sleepy.

"It's because I miss you so much." Lin Yu patted her head.

Upon hearing this, Vera's lips curved into a slight smile.

Her fingers slid down Lin Yu's collarbone, landing on his chest, stopping where his heart was beating:

"Me too~ But you're really rude, you brat."

As she spoke, Vera's finger stopped on Lin Yu's chest and lightly tapped it with her fingertip: "Stinky little brother, stinky little brother~"

Lin Yu looked down at her, his hand sliding down her back and giving her a light pinch on her waist:

"Besides calling me 'stinky little brother,' what else do you want to call me?"

Vera looked up at him, a smile playing on her lips, deliberately drawing out the last syllable: "You stinky man—"

Lin Yu's hand stopped.

He looked at her, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, a smile carrying a hint of malice:

"It seems my wife Vera is quite naughty and needs to be taught a lesson."

Before Vera could react, Lin Yu had already flipped her over and pinned her down.

Vera let out a muffled groan, the sound forced out of her throat: "You—again—"

Lin Yu said calmly, "Do you know you were wrong?"

Vera's fingers gripped the sheets tightly, her breath sweet as orchids:

"I'm...I'm sorry—"

Lin Yu's lips brushed against her earlobe: "Who are you sorry to?"

"Husband..." Vera's voice was muffled by the pillow, "I'm sorry, husband... I'm so sorry..."

"Speak louder."

"I'm sorry, husband—" Vera's voice rose a half-octave, tinged with a sob:

"I was wrong... I was really wrong..."

Lin Yu smiled and gently stroked Vera's hair.

Vera turned her head away, burying her face in the pillow, her voice muffled by the fabric, carrying a soft, yielding tone:

"Husband...husband...husband..."

Finally, she went limp, and her voice changed from "husband" to a muffled breath, as if she didn't even have the strength to say those two words anymore.

Lin Yu stopped, turned her over, and made her face him again.

Vera's face turned bright red, her eyes were glistening with tears, and there was a white mark on her lip from biting herself.

She glanced at Lin Yu, then quickly lowered her eyes again, her voice muffled in her throat: "...You stinky man."

"Um?"

Lin Yu gently pressed his fingers on her waist.

Vera quickly corrected herself, "Husband..."

Her voice was a little softer than before: "Honey... I'm sleepy..."

Lin Yu pulled the blanket over both of them, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her closer to him.

Vera snuggled into his arms, her face pressed against his chest, her fingers clutching the hem of his clothes, and her breathing quickly became even.
