It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

Finally, the two of them embraced each other completely, calling out for love in this bustling world, at the center of this world. They captured the beauty of this moment together, and once again possessed each other amid the sound of fireworks.

Fireworks are beautiful but fleeting. But love is different; it's eternal.

Soon after, Katie and Bai Lin stopped having sex. Katie licked her lips with satisfaction, and Bai Lin's mental state also returned to normal. She felt that what she said seemed a little shameful, but this satisfaction had allowed her to resist the shame.

She had never thought Katie was so beautiful before. It had nothing to do with her figure or appearance, it was simply beauty, probably because beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Even the fleeting glances Katie gave her caught her attention.

"Oh, by the way, let me remind you, you didn't take off your cat ears."

Katie's very calm words woke up Bai Lin who was in a dream. Bai Lin's cheeks flushed, and she reached up to touch her head as if to confirm, and then she became more panicked.

"This, this, this... I was in such a hurry to leave just now."

"Eh? So every time you're anxious, it's because you forget to change clothes. You were like that when you came back to see me yesterday. I understand..."

Katie's response was the same as usual, which seemed to tug at Bai Lin's heartstrings. Bai Lin rubbed his head with a headache and replied,

"I didn't realize you were so good at ruining the atmosphere."

"Really? Aren't you so stupid that you even forgot this? Or maybe it's because you're so eager to ask for love..."

Bai Lin closed his eyes and tried to calm down as much as possible, then he took Katie into his arms, interrupted her speech, and said,

"What do you care about me? You're just a little girl, don't go too far."

The two of them looked up at the sky together, and silence returned to them. After a while, Katie slowly said,

"The fireworks are so beautiful. I never thought the city could be so lively..."

"Yes, a large part of the beauty of a city is due to its people."

Katie looked at Bai Lin and whispered,

"Then isn't the place where you are the most beautiful city?"

Bai Lin rolled his eyes, speechless at Katie's corny love talk, while Katie giggled.

Chapter 293 Rehearsal Rehearsal

Amidst the bustling crowds, amidst the fireworks, beneath the glittering stars, the two of them made the most beautiful pact in the world. At least, in their own world, this was the best.

-

When Katie woke up the next day, she saw Bai Lin still soundly asleep. She had a satisfied smile on her face, which also made Katie feel better.

I really didn't expect that Yue Lingluo's provocation would cause this guy to react so strongly. However, this was also the outcome Katie had expected. After all, she had already grasped Bai Lin's personality perfectly.

Soon, Bai Lin woke up from her sleep. She looked a little sleepy, completely different from yesterday's spirit. However, with some saliva hanging from the corners of her mouth, she looked even more adorable.

Bai Lin, who was in a state of unconsciousness, was easy to bully. Katie knew this very well. She smiled, sat sideways on the bed, and said to Bai Lin,

"Now that you've got me, shouldn't you ask me out on a date today?"

"Date...?" Bai Lin murmured the word again, then she suddenly shuddered, took a deep breath, and her expression became very normal, and she seemed to be awake.

Bai Lin's reaction to the date was so strong that Katie felt a little strange. Could it be that she had some psychological trauma about dating? Just when Katie was about to accept Bai Lin's refusal, Bai Lin clenched his fist and put on a mysterious smile.

"Yes, it's time for a date. I already thought about this last night."

Although she was a little confused, Katie just tilted her head and asked another question.

"Hey, when did you become so good at using your brain?"

Bai Lin couldn't hold back her mysterious expression after hearing what Katie said. She calmed down and patted Katie's head lightly.

"Don't say that about your boyfriend, okay? I've always been pretty smart."

"Well, you dare to hit me before we even get married."

Even though she didn't feel any headache at all, Katie still pretended to be wronged and covered her head with her hands, like a complaining woman, and complained to Bai Lin. But Bai Lin ignored her and continued to talk about business.

"As for the location, I've already thought of it."

"Huh?" Katie stopped pretending to be wronged when she heard this, and asked in confusion, unable to control herself.

"How long have you been in Camitlan? Do you know where we can go on a date?"

In response to Katie's doubts, Bai Lin put on a calm and composed attitude, appearing to be someone who can't be judged by appearances. Amid Katie's skepticism, the young and energetic pair embarked on their first date.

"... "

In a deserted room, Katie stared blankly at a mirror, her gaze truly speechless. The piano beside her suggested a music classroom. The floor was entirely wooden, and the lighting was relatively dim. However, since the room was small and it was daytime, the light was ample.

"You brought me to rehearsal on our first date?"

Katie turned around and looked at Bai Lin with a murderous look on her face. Bai Lin crossed his arms with a serious expression, looking like a very dignified teacher, and said to Katie,

"Time is tight, and the usual schedule can't put too much pressure on you. Starting today is obviously the best choice. Don't worry, it's only a morning and an afternoon, so you'll have time to go out and relax in the evening."

Katie now deeply understands what it means to be a straight man. She now begins to doubt that she was a fool for agreeing to her last night.

"You...are really good at falling in love."

"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied? This is much easier than practicing close combat or something. Singing is an art form that can relax the body and mind. It's a perfect date idea, allowing you to rehearse and relax at the same time."

Seeing Bai Lin's serious words, Katie sighed slightly. She had endured it for so long, so she was willing to give it a try. Bai Lin pulled her and sat next to the piano.

"When I was humming earlier, you learned it quite well. The pitch and everything were basically right. If you have that kind of talent, there's hope you can put on a suitable program."

Katie shrugged nonchalantly. "It's just singing along. It's not that difficult."

"Don't be too complacent." Bai Lin glared at Katie and said with some dissatisfaction, "Although memorizing the lyrics and music is not difficult for you, there are still many details that need to be dealt with slowly."

Their bodies were very close, but Bai Lin still looked so natural. Katie also understood that Bai Lin was really serious. She nodded, sat next to Bai Lin, and began to learn to sing.

Although Bai Lin didn't have a strong musical background, she was still somewhat adept at finding notes on the piano. After all, her talents were similar to Katie's, so she had never specifically practiced basic visual and auditory singing.

Taking into account the issues of time and selection, Bai Lin finally decided on a song that everyone in the original world is basically familiar with, and it is not difficult to sing, and there is a ready-made chorus version of the song, which is "Because of Love".

"How come you're already missing your past relationship after just one day together?" Katie complained with a smile.

"Because every moment I spent with you is worth cherishing, little fool."

Bai Lin was holding a piece of paper she'd pulled out of nowhere, a pen in her other hand, revising something. But the words that came out of her mouth were shocking. This made Katie blush and shove Bai Lin. It was obvious that Katie was the type of person who could talk a lot, but was easily caught in the crossfire.

Bai Lin just smiled, took Katie into his arms, and began to ask Katie for her opinion...

Time flew by, and for once, Bai Lin's words proved correct. During chorus practice, Katie didn't feel tired at all, but rather quite happy. Perhaps it was simply because she felt more relaxed when she was with Bai Lin.

The problem that Bai Lin has been struggling with is a line of lyrics in this song. She is not a professional composer, so she is a little unsure about this aspect. Finally, Katie gave her a line,

"Why should I care so much about this? Sometimes, confusing lyrics can make people feel that they have deeper meanings."

Chapter 294 A brief separation

Bai Lin thought it made sense. Since she couldn't come up with lyrics anytime soon, she accepted the suggestion.

At dinner time, they sat in the familiar pub, facing each other, just like usual. But the atmosphere was no longer the same as before.

While Katie's dishes were the same as usual, Bai Lin had a glass of beer on her side. This made Katie give him a meaningful and threatening look, but Bai Lin didn't take it too seriously. She looked at Katie's gaze and followed her line of sight, but she saw nothing.

"What are you looking at me for? I'm eating."

Bai Lin was a little scared by Katie's look, and because of Bai Lin's slowness this time, Katie couldn't help but put on a sour face and pointed her finger at the beer glass in front of Bai Lin.

"What's wrong with you?"

Bai Lin finally realized what Katie was looking at. Although she had always had to ask Katie's permission before drinking, ever since she started working as an adventurer, she had been drinking a glass of wine with her meals.

Perhaps adventure is inherently connected to this somewhat murky, dizzying liquid. Even if it's just low-quality alcohol, Bai Lin feels a little uncomfortable without a glass of it during meals.

"I've been a little tired lately, so I've gotten used to it..."

Katie frowned and said seriously, "This is for your health. Even when you have work to do, you have to restrain yourself. Besides, today is quite relaxing. No drinking!"

Katie slammed her palm on the table, but Bai Lin didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter at all. She picked up the cup and said with a smile,

"With my body, I'm fine."

"You..." Katie was about to say something, but stopped herself. She changed the subject and asked Bai Lin with a strange look.

"Are you getting carried away now that you've got me?"

This soul-searching question struck Bai Lin's heart. She put down the cup and thought seriously.

Today, my attitude towards Katie is obviously different, but it has nothing to do with being arrogant or not.

Originally, Bai Lin only considered Katie a younger sister or daughter. But after clarifying her feelings, Bai Lin naturally no longer needed to do so. A relationship doesn't require unconditional change and sacrifice; only through genuine contact, mutual understanding, and gradual tolerance can a long-lasting love be achieved.

After a moment, Bai Lin shook his head firmly.

"Of course not. It's just that I was very cautious before and didn't treat you as my lover. Maybe some of my bad habits were changed after you talked about them. After all, I treated you like a child back then and wanted to set a good example for you."

"It's different now. You're my lover, and I realize you've grown up, so I'll make some changes. Besides, I'm the man of the house. Isn't it normal for me to have more opinions?"

Bai Lin looked at Katie with a slightly teasing look, raised the wine glass in his hand slightly and shook it, and added,

"What's wrong? Don't you like me like this?"

Although Katie was a little annoyed, she had to admit that Bai Lin's experiences last night and today had indeed given her a rather special experience. Rather than disliking him, she actually quite liked him. If Katie were to always be the main attacker, she would eventually get tired.

A long life requires episodes and reasonable changes to balance it out. But this doesn't mean that Katie will let Bai Lin do whatever he wants without any bottom line. She raised her head and said to Bai Lin in a somewhat harsh but low voice,

"But I don't like women who drink too much. You better behave yourself and don't go too far."

Bai Lin instantly sensed the seriousness in Katie's words. She immediately put down the cup alertly and said in a surrendered manner,

"Okay, I won't drink."

Bai Lin was quite experienced in this area. She could drink as much as she wanted when Katie returned to school. She'd just have a little after-dinner drink anyway, so even after a few steps, she wouldn't even be able to smell the alcohol, let alone any effects.

I also need to relax a little, and of course I can't let Katie worry.

After dinner, Bai Lin and Katie took a casual stroll and then sent Katie back to school. Katie was lamenting that she had just left school in the afternoon and had to go back in the evening. While Bai Lin was looking back, she...

She pulled Bai Lin's arm and kissed her on the cheek as if by surprise. Originally, Bai Lin, who had successfully confessed her love, did not feel much reality, but when she was kissed like this, she realized that her relationship with Katie was completely different from before.

This kind of sweetness and happiness, like being in a honey pot, surrounded Bai Lin. Katie, smiling brightly, retreated behind her and said teasingly,

"I really hope you can be a little more proactive in this kind of thing, hehe."

Damn, I was really underestimated. Bai Lin lowered his head slightly, a smile on his face, but he still said stubbornly,

"You said it, I'll take the initiative next time."

After saying this, both of them walked away without looking back. I don't know what Katie was thinking, but Bai Lin has already started looking forward to meeting her again tomorrow.

They had already agreed on a rehearsal time for the next day. Katie could relax for a while for the next few weeks, as she had other things to do. This was the first time Bai Lin had been so eager to meet her. Perhaps this was the sweet beginning of a young love.

Really, being in love with a little girl makes me become childish. With this feeling, Bai Lin returned to the tavern and spent the night there.

The next morning, Bai Lin woke up as the rooster crowed. She opened the window, took in the sunlight and the fresh air, and took a deep breath to refresh herself. She had already made plans for what to do today.

I knocked gently on the door opposite, and soon the door creaked and slowly opened. Fei'er, dressed as usual, cast a faint gaze out from the room.

"what happened?"

Her voice was as cold as ever, and she asked Bai Lin in her uniquely small voice. Looking at the dim interior of the room, Bai Lin couldn't help but suspect that Fei'er had been cooped up in the room for another two days.

She slowly stepped into the room, and Fei'er closed the door in time. Bai Lin looked at her, who was a little short, and said,

"Although I know Fei'er may not want to go out, but it would be a bit boring to stay in the room all the time, right? If you want, you can come and play with me."

Chapter 295: Just a suggestion to practice

Fei'er rarely showed any emotion, revealing a hint of contempt, and replied to Bai Lin,

"No, you've been out early for two days in a row. I really can't make an appointment with you."

Although it was a rare long sentence, Bai Lin could only scratch her head in embarrassment. She could clearly feel the sting in Fei'er's words, but fortunately, she was not jealous, so she explained gently,

"Because it's obvious that you don't like shopping for clothes, so I didn't ask you..."

Fei'er's expression returned to normal, she waved her hand, and interrupted Bai Lin's speech and said,

"It's okay, you don't need to explain to me."

Bai Lin nodded. It seemed that Fei'er was just mocking her a little, so she went straight to talking about her plans for today.

"First, let's go see Sora and see if there's any commissions we can take. If that doesn't work, we can go to the Knights Templar and arrange some training or something. How's that going?"

Ever since leaving the village, Bai Lin has increasingly felt her fighting power inadequate. Her goal isn't simply to survive in this world, so she doesn't compare herself to her peers or teammates. Whenever she feels a sense of danger, she craves improvement.

Whether it was the men in the Guanjue Mansion or Xifa, each one of them made her feel extremely difficult, and she didn't even have any ability to fight back at the beginning. Was her strength reduced to this extent just because she couldn't use that gun?

Obviously, this is extremely unreasonable. A truly powerful person shouldn't be restricted by simple weapons.

The reason I'd come to meet Fei'er today was, on the one hand, to play with her and communicate more to foster a better relationship, and on the other hand, to learn her dual-sword skills through the unique characteristics of various martial arts. This would also broaden her technical range a bit.
