Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 693 - 689: Patience and Waiting

After watching the stars and digesting the dinner, Lin Wanwan went back to her room and first went into the bathroom to wash up and change clothes.

When she came out, washed up and wearing a white court-style nightdress, Lu Shouyue noticed something different.

Hmm, she was still wearing her underwear.

Seeing Lu Shouyue’s gaze fixed on her, Lin Wanwan snorted.

Lu Shouyue immediately looked away, his face somewhat blushing.

He’s actually not that eager; is Wanwan guarding against him?

He wanted to explain to Lin Wanwan but was too embarrassed.

It seems that his playful antics earlier really made her angry, so he decided to change into more conservative pajamas later, instead of a robe.

Both of them were thinking in opposite directions.

While Lu Shouyue went into the bathroom to wash up, Lin Wanwan crawled onto the bed, wrapping herself in the soft, fragrant silk quilt.

The air conditioning was turned low in the room, so even during a summer night, covering up with a quilt didn’t feel hot.

This bedding set wasn’t provided by the guesthouse but was brought by Lu Shouyue himself. As soon as the helicopter landed, someone helped them change the bedding.

For someone like him, with generations of family legacy, money isn’t an issue for several lifetimes; many luxury items can be used once and discarded, and travel bedding is the same.

Lin Wanwan, who seldom traveled or stayed in hotels, had no concept of this at all and thought the guesthouse had good conditions since the bedding was so comfortable.

This comfortable feeling disappeared when she saw Lu Shouyue come out of the bathroom wearing a silk pajama set with long sleeves and trousers.

What a waste!

She turned her body, facing away from Lu Shouyue, pretending to sleep.

Lu Shouyue touched the back of his head, feeling a bit troubled. About to sleep, he hadn’t figured out what Wanwan was upset about.

It was rare to come out together; their relationship had advanced by leaps and bounds, but now, approaching departure, unspecified sulky moods surfaced, which was quite annoying.

He wanted to call Wang Bocheng, this expert in matters of the heart, for advice but then caught himself, knowing that he couldn’t expect pearls of wisdom from a dog.

He lifted the quilt to get into bed, and as he hugged Lin Wanwan from behind, she threw his arm off.

"Wanwan, what’s wrong? What did I do to make you angry? Tell me, and I’ll change," Lu Shouyue propped on the pillow, humbly seeking guidance while looking at Lin Wanwan’s side profile.

"Nothing, turn off the lights and sleep," Lin Wanwan pulled the quilt up to cover her head.

Lu Shouyue felt paralyzed, not knowing what to do. He didn’t want to make Lin Wanwan angry; such a feeling wasn’t good.

Because of Lin Wanwan’s actions, the governor and conception vessels previously opened by Lu Shouyue instantly stalled again.

Sometimes caring too much for someone leads to anxiety, resulting in indecisiveness.

Helplessly, he turned off the light, lying straight, eyes fixed on the dome of the tent, too afraid to touch Lin Wanwan, fearing to lose her.

After a while, his low voice suddenly echoed in the dark: "Wanwan, I’m sorry."

No matter why she was upset, apologizing was the right move.

Lin Wanwan emerged from under the quilt, turned on the wall lamp, adjusted to dim light.

"Why apologize for no reason?"

"In any case, it’s all my fault," Lu Shouyue turned his head to look at the back of her head.

"Ugh, there’s no need to apologize. You should sleep first, I’ll read, good night," Lin Wanwan took out her phone, not yet sleepy, planning to browse the Ancient Medical Books stored inside as a sleep aid; the difficult classical Chinese worked wonders.

Seeing Lin Wanwan not turning around, Lu Shouyue simply took his phone from the nightstand and posted a help request on a forum—how to pacify an angry girlfriend?

The reward was substantial; any reply earned game credits linked to the forum, quickly attracting replies from night owl users.

[Hug her, thick-skinned apology.]

[Hug, kiss, lift high + sweet words.]

[Deep into the night, don’t ask why, kiss her!]

[Kiss her +1]

[Kiss her +2]

[Kiss her +10086]

[If kissing doesn’t work, Doi!]

[Doi +1]

[Doi +10086]

Lu Shouyue frowned at the orderly suggestions, doubting their effectiveness.

Wondering if he was on the wrong forum, maybe choosing the gaming site wasn’t wise, considering it’s filled with nerdy game enthusiasts, their advice might not be reliable.

He turned on a VPN, also posting a bounty on an international site, but got similar answers.

With little experience in love, he suddenly felt uncertain again.

At this time, Lin Wanwan was feeling drowsy from reading the medical book, placing her phone on the bedside table, preparing to sleep in a new position.

In her hazy mind, she thought Lu Shouyue seemed a bit odd, unusually inactive, unlike the early night.

Lu Shouyue propped himself up to look at Lin Wanwan’s sleeping face, hesitated for a few seconds, and still moved closer to hug her, deciding to try the most commented solution in the thread. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Lin Wanwan’s eyelashes fluttered lightly; this time, she didn’t push him away and was about to ask him to turn off the lights when he kissed her.

This time, he was much more obedient, simply holding her while kissing, devoid of extra movements, seemingly probing.

While kissing, Lu Shouyue observed Lin Wanwan’s expression closely, gauging her mood.

He kissed with restraint, cautiously, gently, making Lin Wanwan feel cherished, rather than offended.

She couldn’t resist opening her eyes, Lu Shouyue left her lips, kissing her cheek, whispering his confession: "Wanwan... Wanwan, I love you, I really love you, don’t be mad at me."

Lin Wanwan was a bit dazed by Lu Shouyue’s careful confession.

"I’m not angry with you..." Lin Wanwan said, "I just... feel a bit unfair."

Lu Shouyue raised his head, confused: "Unfair?"

Indeed, she was touched by him, but she hadn’t touched him; wasn’t that unfair?

Lin Wanwan’s face flushed red; did thinking this way make her sound perverse?

Lu Shouyue looked at her rosy face, a shy expression, suddenly enlightened, quickly shedding his pajamas, climbing back into bed to hug her, feeling nervous yet amused: "Wanwan, I’m letting you get even."

He placed her hand on his chest.

Lin Wanwan’s mind turned into mush, her hand and eyes seemingly immobilized, unable to move.

Both were somewhat nervous and trembling, Lu Shouyue suddenly turned off the lights, his throat dry as he said, "Wanwan, I wish to be like this every day."

Lin Wanwan’s hand slowly moved to his waistband; she couldn’t help but pull back, suddenly not very willing to "take advantage."

Lu Shouyue also felt that if it continued, he couldn’t control himself, so he released her hand, holding her tightly, whispering: "Wanwan, don’t worry, I won’t really do anything."

Lin Wanwan buried her head in his chest, muffled: "It’s late, shall we sleep?"

"Mm, good night." Lu Shouyue kissed her hair top, "Wanwan, I really hope to hold you sleeping this way every night."

If possible, Lu Shouyue even wanted to propose on the spot.

But he understood deeply, Lin Wanwan wasn’t ready for marriage yet. If he proposed now, he’d definitely fail and might even jeopardize the newly won boyfriend status.

Thus, he must wait and be patient.

Until the day she wholeheartedly loves him.
