And the eye of this storm, at this very moment, was in a very awkward situation, living in constant anxiety. A stream of light flashed from Lin Feng’s computer screen. In the room, two beautiful figures were instantly enveloped by thousands of tiny light points. The dazzling light was originally reflected off a transparent screen around them, creating a bizarre scene. As the light points hit the meditating figures, they seemed to become tangible, penetrating deep into their bodies through their pores. The transparent screen, initially protecting them, could not withstand the massive influx of light points and was quickly riddled with holes. As more light points invaded, the bodies of the two gradually turned transparent, their internal organs, bones, and veins becoming visible as if under an X-ray. Describing this phenomenon in words is complex, but in reality, it happened in just a few seconds, appearing to outsiders merely as the lights flickering a few times.
A scream echoed from Lin Feng’s room. Outside, two people, anxious like ants on a hot pan, reacted in unison. Lin Feng’s mother, in particular, was frantic and ready to barge in, but Xu Xiaoman restrained her impulse, quickly stopping her: “Auntie, don’t panic!” Xu Xiaoman remembered Wang Xiaoyun’s instructions, and since Lin Feng’s voice was also heard with the scream, indicating he was awake, there was no immediate danger, and they should not disturb them as Wang Xiaoyun had warned. After calming Lin Feng’s mother, they listened intently. Inside, there were sounds of movement, rustling of clothes, and the creaking of the bed frame under strain, all signs that the two inside were getting up.
Voices could be heard, but they were too low to discern clearly. Xu Xiaoman’s expression grew stranger, and after Lin Feng’s mother calmed down, she too looked puzzled and somewhat embarrassed.
“Oh no, how did I fall asleep? Ah! Who are you? Why are you in my bed?” The moment he opened his eyes, he instinctively leaned back and stretched out in a long, lazy yawn, but was suddenly met with the soft resistance of two springy cushions pressing against his back. Startled, he quickly turned around, and a flash of white light seemed to blind him. With wide eyes full of astonishment, he saw a woman sitting cross-legged right in front of him, completely *** and so close that their noses were almost touching. Lin Feng let out a scream, hastily jumped out of bed, feeling the chill of the room too keenly, and upon closer inspection, realized he was just as bare. His mind went blank, and he hesitantly turned to look at the woman on the bed again. “Xiao Yun? How could it be you?” Seeing a face he knew all too well, Lin Feng thought he must be dreaming and instinctively reached out to touch her face. However, before he could move, a hysterical scream pierced the air, followed by a large pillow thrown at his head. Lin Feng dodged to the side, watching as Wang Xiao Yun panicked and wrapped herself in the bedsheet. He tried to say something, but as he moved again, another scream erupted, and she closed her eyes in terror. Only then did he realize his own embarrassing state. Embarrassed and unsure what to do, he grabbed the pillow to cover himself and fled in disarray. But as he opened the door, he was met with two more pairs of eyes staring at him in astonishment. “Oh no, what’s going on here? How are Mom and Xu Xiaoman still eavesdropping outside the door? Weren’t they supposed to have stormed off already? Why is one of them sitting on the bed with me, completely naked, while the other is holding Mom and listening at the door?” Facing their inquisitive looks, Lin Feng dared not speak recklessly and quickly slipped past them into the bathroom before they could question him.
Seeing her son vibrant and lively again, Lin’s mother felt a wave of relief, but watching him dash out of the room naked left her puzzled. Hadn’t there been sounds of dressing inside? Why was Lin Lin, along with Xu Xiaoman, still shrouded in mystery about what had transpired inside for so long? Both of them attempted to push the door open, but Wang Xiao Yun’s scream from inside, “Don’t come in!” forced them to retreat to the living room with odd expressions. After a while, the door to Lin Feng’s bedroom quietly opened, and Wang Xiao Yun cautiously peeked out. She quickly withdrew her head upon seeing the two guardians outside, only to re-emerge after a moment. She had not anticipated the presence of these two guardians, gasped in surprise, and her face flushed a deep red. After a brief hesitation, Wang Xiao Yun, still blushing, walked out, head lowered, avoiding eye contact. Xu Xiaoman whispered to her, but she didn’t respond, only letting out a cry of pain when Xu Xiaoman unintentionally squeezed her hand, quickly covering it up. Lin’s mother wanted to ask questions but found no opportunity as Wang Xiao Yun, pulling Xu Xiaoman along, left without a word.
