Chapter 25: How Did I End Up in Her Bed?:
Ling Ye had indeed had a dream.
He dreamed of falling into a land of warmth and softness, and in this dream, there was a woman.
But this woman was blurry.
At times, she resembled Luo Xinli, and at other times, she seemed like Ling Youruo.
And then, she turned into someone else!
It was... Ye Lin!
He recognized Ye Lin.
He had known her since childhood.
But he couldn't understand why she would appear in his dream.
After all, they hadn’t had much interaction.
Except for one small incident when they were young...
That year, Ling Ye was about sixteen years old, and Ye Lin was around the same age.
Ye Lin had been strolling down Tianwu Street with her two younger brothers and some bodyguards.
Then she encountered Ling Ye, and a small conflict arose, leading to a heated argument!
In a moment of youthful anger, Ling Ye suddenly grabbed the young Ye Lin and kissed her on the lips.
After forcibly stealing her first kiss, Ling Ye’s anger subsided!
But while his anger dissipated, Ye Lin completely lost her mind.
Her two younger brothers had witnessed the scene and were also furious!
That day, the three siblings, along with their bodyguards, chased Ling Ye for an entire day!
But they didn’t catch him!
Ye Lin cried for the entire day as well.
Having her first kiss stolen by force and not even catching the person who did it, she was, of course, angry and upset.
To this day, more than ten years later, Ye Lin still hadn’t caught that person!
She didn’t even know his name.
So many years had passed, and no one knew where he had gone or if he was even still alive.
After that incident, Ye Lin issued a strict order forbidding her two brothers and all the bodyguards present that day from ever mentioning it again!
They were also not to tell anyone about it!
That incident was the greatest humiliation of her life.
It was also her most shameful secret!
Fate had its ways—who would have thought they would run into each other again?
Ling Ye certainly hadn’t expected her to appear in his dream.
And yet... it was the grown-up version of her!
The adult Ye Lin was undeniably more dignified and beautiful.
The dream was long!
Ling Ye wasn’t sure how much time had passed before he slowly awakened from this complex yet beautiful dream.
He gradually opened eyes that had seemed unable to open again.
His vision slowly cleared.
The first thing he saw was a luxurious golden bed curtain.
The air was filled with a faint fragrance.
Ling Ye was curious—had he not died?
What was going on?
Where was he?
And... why did it feel like something heavy was pressing down on him?
A soft, warm sensation!
This was...
Having lived a life of romance, he immediately knew what this was!
He quickly opened his eyes wide and looked down!
And there, he saw someone.
He was lying on a soft, luxurious bed, and this person was lying on top of him.
She was in his arms, and the two of them were tightly pressed against each other.
Strangely, this person’s hair was white.
Her long black hair had turned snow-white, like soft ripples of water gently flowing over him.
“This is...”
Ling Ye instinctively lifted his hand and gently raised the face of the woman lying on him.
And then, he was utterly shocked!
“Ye Lin!?”
Wasn’t this Ye Lin?
The Princess of the Mysterious Jade Empire, Ye Lin!
What... was happening?
How did she end up in his bed?
No, this seemed to be her bed?
Then... how did he end up in her bed?
That hazy dream he just had... could it have been real?
At this moment, Ye Lin also woke up.
She slowly opened her beautiful golden eyes and met Ling Ye’s gaze!
Their eyes locked, and for a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Then, a visible blush quickly spread across Ye Lin’s delicate face.
She hurriedly tried to get up.
But as soon as she moved, she realized something was wrong.
Getting up at this moment would undoubtedly expose everything!
So she quickly lay back down!
Her blush deepened.
Ling Ye simply watched her, observing her embarrassed yet adorable actions.
He didn’t say a word!
Seeing him remain silent, Ye Lin was at a loss for what to say.
So, she just lay there in his arms, her head down and face flushed.
The air remained silent.
Though both of them were now awake, they inexplicably chose to remain quiet.
It seemed like they were both waiting for the other to speak!
Ling Ye didn’t want to speak first, while Ye Lin... was too embarrassed to speak.
“I remember your hair... wasn’t white before, was it?”
After a moment of silence, Ling Ye understood her predicament and spoke first.
“Before? You recognize me?” Ye Lin asked, her head still buried in his chest.
“Mm... I saw you a few years ago during the battle of the Eight Great Sects.” Ling Ye replied calmly.
During that decisive battle, the reason Ye Lin had seen his face wasn’t because she had recognized him.
It was because he had deliberately looked at her, allowing her to see him!
After all, he had some memories with Ye Lin from their childhood, so he had taken an extra glance at her...
