Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1081 - Lin Yi's Coldness

That cold and calm look on Lin Yi's face was something Lingshan had already gotten used to- but she was feeling the opposite! She felt so strong, and she felt that it would only be a short matter of time before she broke through into Mystic!

But now, what she cared most about was Lin Yi! She turned to him, eyes full of gratitude and gentleness. If one were to call Lingshan helpless against Lin Yi, she felt now that she actually liked him!

Lin Yi's actions would have that effect on anyone!

"Thank you, Lin Yi! How do you feel right now?" Lingshan asked, concerned. "You gave me all your qi…"

"I'm fine, I'm great," Lin Yi said faintly- He didn't feel anything wrong at all! It only felt like he'd taken a nap in the jade space, and at most he had just wasted half a day without improving… Yet his body didn't lose anything at all!

All the energy he gave Lingshan came from the jade space, not from him- he was only the medium.

Yet Lingshan didn't quite believe what he was saying! Losing much qi- of course he wouldn't be fine! Her grandma would shut herself in isolated practitioning after giving her grandpa just a little bit of qi, recovering herself for a long period of time. Lin Yi however, had just flooded her with so much energy!

"Lin Yi, thank you, I know that you must really be in pain right now!" Lingshan said, very grateful, "I didn't expect that you'd be so nice to me, giving me so much qi and leveling me up so much- I really don't know what to say!"

Lingshan's plan was to set the romantic mood with Lin Yi, and after using the double partner practitioning, they would level up a bit, and that would made her feel quite successful… But she didn't expect that Lin Yi had a different method in mind, directly sending qi and forcing her body to level up like this!

She was also a little relieved in secret, even though she was grateful. She had the mindset that since she'd already gone this far with Lin Yi, it didn't hurt to go on, but… This was still her first time after all, it was only natural she'd care.

Even though the purpose was to level up, she still felt that the first time had to be romantic, and best if it weren't because of reasons like this, but for love instead.

Yet now she managed to keep her first time… But she still felt some sense of disappointment!

She didn't really understand what Lin Yi was thinking anymore- did he like her or not? If he did, then he could've just went with the flow directly and did it with her, but he didn't!

If Lin Yi didn't like her, then why'd he spend so much qi on someone he didn't like? This qi wasn't free, it was very precious- he just used it on some random girl, just like that?

A grateful but confused Lingshan didn't faze Lin Yi- he only spoke faintly, "It's nothing much, my dog's a Golden Class late phase peak as well."

"Ah?" Lingshan blinked, her face going red with frustration- so Lin Yi was saying that she was the same level as a dog? Was what he just did to her no different than what he did to a dog??

"Alright, it's pretty late, I should get going," With that, he stood up, and started moving to the door!

Lingshan really didn't know how to react to his behavior! His coldness really wasn't something she could cope with, it was way out of her expectations!

She didnt understand- the guy spent so much qi to help her level up, and he didn't want anything in return? He just went away like this?

Of course, she didn't believe what Lin Yi just told her- his words only irritated her a bit, but she was composed again!

He called her a retard and idiot all the time, but truth was she was nowhere near a retard or an idiot- they wouldn't have been in this situation otherwise!

He felt that Lin Yi was intentionally looking cold and composed right now- back in the hospital, when he was healing Bojia, she remembered him sweating all over- it wasn't easy!

And today, after spending so much qi on her… There was no way he'd be completely fine!

Of course, perhaps Weiwu really was a late phase peak, but Lin Yi couldn't have just upgraded him for nothing just because he was bored… There had to have been some important reason!

"Wait…" With those thoughts in mind, she called out to stop Lin Yi!

Lin Yi couldn't help but frown. The reason he was acting so coldly was because he feared that she might do something drastic after all those feelings of gratefulness, like offering her body or something! The two already felt too intimate as is, so she might really do something out of impulse right now!

Lin Yi's will was much stronger than a normal person, but it was still hard to resist a willing beauty right in front of him- he might even just go with it! He didn't want that!

He considered Lingshan a not-bad-friend right now, but that was as far as the label went! Perhaps there was some intimacy between the two, but that was it! There was still a good distance before they would hit romance!

He felt that the girl was rather nice, as well as her body, but he really did fear that she would go even crazier with her requests for help if they were to become a couple… He didn't have that much time!

Although, in his view, as long as Tang Yun was fine with it… He really didn't mind getting another lover. It wasn't a big deal.

But he didn't have that much time to be solving cases for her all the time… There were all those wishes on Xiaoxiao's side, too, he couldn't get sidetracked!

And so, he decided to treat her a little colder, to prevent their relationship from jumping forward too much.

Yet, he was still a little annoyed when he stood to leave! Why did this Song girl have so many problems he had to deal with, it'd be so great if she didn't!

"Anything else?" Lin Yi said faintly.

"You're tired, right? Maybe you could rest a bit? I'll make you something to eat?" Lingshan said gently, not changing her tone one bit despite Lin Yi's attitude.

"Ah…" Lin Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly before frowning, "Miss braindead, you keep acting like that- do you want me to push you down or something?"
