Chapter 319 It’s Still Morning... At Least Take a Shower First!

"——A-sneeze!"

In a deep sleep, Li Lin felt an itching sensation on the tip of his nose and couldn't help but sneeze.

But because his head was still groggy, he didn't understand what happened. He just rubbed his nose casually, turned over, and prepared to continue immersed in his sweet dream.

While half asleep, a thought came to his mind:

The big bed is soft and much more comfortable than the chair...

Just as Li Lin was thinking this, he was suddenly stunned for a moment as he almost fell asleep again, and reached out to touch his body.

Eh? When did I go back to bed?

For a moment, Li Lin's sleepiness disappeared instantly and he suddenly opened his eyes.

What comes into view is the familiar ceiling and suspended ceiling of a large bed.

This is Caitlin's house?

When did I come here?

Am I not in an underground laboratory?

Just when Li Lin looked confused, Caitlin's crisp voice with a hint of complaint and worry sounded beside him: "You finally woke up, you worried me to death."

Li Lin raised his head slightly and saw Caitlin lying next to him.

She was wearing a cool dark purple camisole with midriff-baring shorts, and her lower body was in hot pants that matched the top. Her long, beautiful legs and proud body curves were clearly displayed in his eyes.

Because the winter in Piltover is not too cold, and the Giraman home has an excellent heating system, wearing cool summer clothes in the house is not a problem at all.

Caitlin dragged her cheek with her left hand, and with her right hand she grabbed a strand of her purple hair and drew a circle in the air. Her tightly stretched feet without socks were crossed and swung in the air, and her soles were white and red. The folds are intertwined, and the ten slender, perfectly proportioned toes curl up from time to time.

Seeing the man looking at her, she immediately put down her hair,

Just now, Li Lin's nose suddenly itched and he sneezed. It was obviously Caitlin's work.

"Why am I in your room? I'm not..."

Before he finished speaking, Caitlin added: "You're not supposed to be in the underground laboratory, are you?"

Li Lin sat up with support on the bed, crossed his legs and half-hunched his waist, frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to gently massage his temples, which were still a little swollen.

Caitlin also moved forward, placed her chin on Li Lin's crossed right knee, raised her eyes, and stared at her slightly embarrassed lover with a resentful look.

"You obviously promised me that you won't stay up all day long and be busy with work."

She grabbed Li Lin's left hand, which had nowhere to rest, and squeezed it as if to vent her anger, showing no mercy.

Because Caitlin knew that with her little strength, she couldn't actually make him feel pain at all.

"At that time Zhinao reminded me that you fell asleep lying on a chair in the underground laboratory. Do you know what I was thinking?"

"Kate..."

"I know you are very busy. You seem to have been chasing something and you dare not stop at all. Even though you spend a lot less time with me because of work, I have never complained at all about this. You know better."

Caitlin looked at Li Lin seriously, "But why do you never pity your body? Yes, you must want to say that your body has been strengthened and you don't have to worry about anything...

"Then how are you going to explain to me that you were almost in a coma in the laboratory yesterday, in such a state that you couldn't wake up even if you screamed?"

As she spoke, there was a trace of mist in her moist eyes, and her eyes were slightly red.

Then, Caitlin sniffed, quickly calmed down her excited mood, and continued: "Do you know how much I feel sorry for you? We obviously agreed before that we were not allowed to work all night, and we had to sleep at least four hours a day. But it seems you didn’t abide by our agreement.”

Li Lin had an embarrassed look on his face, and his right hand gently rubbed her smooth, delicate and well-maintained face.

Caitlin responded to his caressing her cheek, but the dissatisfied look on her face and the doubt deep in her blue eyes did not diminish at all.

What she wanted to express was very clear: If you don't give me an explanation today, this matter will not be over.

Li Lin was silent for a few seconds. He really didn't know how to respond to Caitlin's concern and worry for him, so he could only sigh heavily.

"Kate...actually, the things I want to study recently are really important."

He noticed that Caitlin's expression remained unchanged, and knew that she was not satisfied with the answer, so he continued to explain: "Because the technology I researched can completely free Kaisha from the influence of the void."

I'm really sorry, Kasha, in order for Kate to accept it, I can only use you as my shield for the time being...

Li Lin pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, but in his heart he apologized to Kasha, who didn't know where he was now.

Once she heard that he was trying to solve Kasha's problem, Caitlin's face softened a little, but her suspicious eyes still swept over his face.

"Really? Have you found a solution to Kaisha's living skin?" She sat up in a duck sitting position and asked with a more serious expression, "This matter is very important, don't say you are just using it. This excuse frustrates me."

"When did I lie to you?" Li Lin scratched Caitlin's steep nose. "It's precisely because the technology I'm studying is very important, and it's my first time trying it. It can't be interrupted in the middle, and it consumes a lot of energy. That’s why I just slumped down on the chair after finishing my work.”

Caitlin tilted her little face and stared at Li Lin for a moment with her pretty eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was picking out the details of his facial expressions to determine whether his words were simply looking for excuses and trying to get away with it.

After a while, she shook her head and sighed, "Forget it, since it's for Kasha... I'll let you go."

Before Li Lin could breathe a sigh of relief, Caitlin seemed to remember something again, and she leaned close to his ear and lowered her voice, as if it was something shameful.

"Also, that thing you mentioned... uh, the Twilight Star Spirit..."

"Zoe? What's wrong with her?"

"Don't speak so loudly, she might hear..."

"Don't worry, I specifically told her not to eavesdrop on anyone in her room, especially us. She won't do that...should she?"

However, Li Lin suddenly thought of Zoe's naughty temperament and didn't like to follow the rules, and became hesitant again, "Zhi Nao, is Zoe at home now?"

He had previously installed Intelligent Brain's intelligent system in every room of the Gila Mann family.

No matter where you are or who you are, you can communicate with Zhinao anytime and anywhere, which brings great convenience to everyone in the Gila Mann family.

Less than two seconds after Li Lin finished speaking, a mini mechanical device similar to a small loudspeaker in the corner of the room flashed blue light, and the still neutral electronic mechanical sound sounded from it:

[After Miss Zoe asked about your situation last night, she slipped into the portal and disappeared. 】

"Look, she's not at home now and won't know about our conversation. Don't worry." Li Lin gently rubbed the back of Caitlin's hand a few times. "What exactly is going on? Is it possible that she is targeting you in some way? ?”

"That's...not really." Caitlin hesitated for a while, "Well, how should I put it? Aren't you busy these days? Zoe didn't bother you, she just stayed with me most of the time."

Li Lin's expression looked slightly startled, "...Huh?"

Because she was selected by the Twilight Celestials at a young age and began to roam the stars and parallel universes, Zoe actually had not had much contact with the world, nor had she experienced the teachings of her elders.

In essence, she is still a playful and naughty child who is ignorant of the world.

And it seems that because of his spiritual affinity with the Twilight Star and his influence, the child's naughty nature is further amplified.

The jealousy caused by this, especially the feelings towards Li Lin like Caitlin, is very obvious.

When she first entered Gila Mann's house, Zoe verbally targeted Caitlin in terms of life. However, after being scolded by Li Lin, she restrained herself a lot and basically never had any quarrels with Caitlin anymore.

But now Caitlin says that Zoe has been with her for the past week?

"She... didn't do anything excessive, right?"

Li Lin quickly groped Caitlin's body to check if she was "injured" anywhere.

"——Yeah! What are you doing?"

Caitlin hurriedly protected herself like a frightened little rabbit, staring at Li Lin warily, "I'm warning you, it's daytime now, don't touch me."

Li Lin retracted his hand and said defensively: "I just wanted to see if Zoe played any prank on you."

"That's not true, but Zoe's behavior is very strange." Caitlin recalled Zoe's behavior in recent days, a trace of confusion appeared on her face, "She seems... to please me deliberately?"

After hearing what she said, Li Lin was stunned for a long time, and then made a confused nasal sound: "...Huh? Are you sure you're not joking?"

"Of course, that's why I'm weird, okay." Caitlin and Li Lin looked at each other with complicated expressions, and there was an inexplicable meaning in their eyes, "I know she likes you, she shows everything on her face Got it…but, it’s illegal.”

Li Lin scratched his head, not quite understanding what she wanted to express, "But she is at least a thousand years old? The reason why she still looks like this is because she used magic to restrict herself. She didn't want to grow up." It’s just big.”

Caitlin: "..."

Is there such an operation? !

Can that keep me young forever?

Being able to stay young forever is almost every girl's dream, and Caitlin is no exception.

However, when she realized that she had strayed from the topic, she immediately faced Li Lin's strange gaze and shook her face to eliminate the distracting thoughts from her mind.

"Then tell me, why did she do this? Why did she suddenly want to please me?"

Maybe you want to start with you so that I can accept her?

Li Lin hesitated for a moment, but still did not say these words: "Maybe I want to get your approval."

"My approval..."

But he is a detective after all, with strong logical reasoning ability.

Just relying on Li Lin's words, Caitlin seemed to have thought of something, fell into silence, and her expression became more complicated.

The air fell into silence for a moment, and even the atmosphere became a little subtle.

After a while, Li Lin didn't want this issue to become a barrier between him and Caitlin, so he broke the silence and changed the topic: "Hey, don't talk about this."

In Caitlin's confused eyes, Li Lin leaned forward and hugged her.

She seemed to realize something, her cheeks instantly turned red, her heart was beating fast, and even her breathing became slightly short.

"Don't, don't be like this...it's still daytime..."

"What happened during the day? Today is the weekend, you don't have to go out to work, and our parents shouldn't be at home, right? No one will disturb us."

Li Lin chuckled and blew on Caitlin's completely "ripe" earlobe, "Besides, how many days have passed? Don't you miss me?"

"You, you are so annoying!"

Caitlin didn't give Li Lin any further chance, so she got out of his arms with skill and put her little feet on his chest to stop him from acting like a "hungry wolf pouncing on food".

However, Li Lin's eyes that immediately looked a little disappointed made her heart tremble, and her whole body softened.

"Well... at least take a shower first!"
