Genius Club-Chapter 1158 - 34 CC Verification (Extra for Silver Alliance, Unparalleled Under the Heavens Day 37!)_2

Lin Xian also asked CC about having nightmares.

"Huh?"

CC listened to Lin Xian’s description, looking surprised:

"I don’t dream."

She blinked:

"I’ve never dreamed, nor have I ever paid attention to such things."

"Never dreamed?"

Lin Xian was skeptical:

"That’s unbelievable. How could anyone not dream?"

He turned to Xu Yiyi:

"Do you usually dream?"

"Of course I do."

Xu Yiyi answered:

"But the dreams fade quickly. Growing up, apart from just a few that I remember clearly, I’ve forgotten all the rest."

Lin Xian spread his hands, looking at CC:

"You see, that’s the problem."

"It’s not that you don’t dream, but that you forget too quickly! Trust me, that must be the case. I know from experience."

"Oh."

CC replied casually, not taking it seriously:

"Maybe, I’ve always thought I sleep too deeply. Anyways, I don’t have any memories of dreaming. So... what do you want to do?"

"Very simple, just follow my instructions."

Lin Xian looked around, thinking:

"First, the two of us need to find a place and have a nap."

???

Instantly.

All the eyes in the Underground Laboratory widened.

What the hell? What kind of scandalous words are these?

So direct!

Xu Yiyi blushed slightly, looking dumbstruck, with her ears perked up to spectate.

"Scoundrel!"

Big Face Cat smacked him:

"Lian Gang Rule No. 27: Rabbits can’t eat grass nearby the nest!"

Lin Xian dodged backward:

"Are you sure you remember the first 26 rules? This sounds like you made it up on the spot!"

"Shut up! Shameless rake!"

Ah Zhuang roared, looking at Lin Xian with disdain:

"I have never seen anyone as brazenly shameless as you!"

"Degenerate!"

Er Zhuzi puffed out his chest:

"I propose that we immediately expel this disgrace from the Lian Gang!"

San Pang’s wise gaze, eyebrows furrowing further:

"I disagree!"

Sigh.

Lin Xian sighed.

He was truly tired of the inevitable variety show after every visit to The Second Dreamland, exhausted from dealing with this group from the Lian Gang.

"That’s not what I meant. Can you let me finish speaking?"

Lin Xian glared at the four members of the Lian Gang:

"Besides, this is between me and CC. What does it have to do with you?"

He turned to CC:

"Actually, what I meant was—"

"I know what you mean."

CC said directly:

"Since you’re saying clearly that I forget too quickly, I get it. You must want to wake me up while I’m dreaming and immediately ask me what I dreamt about... that way you can verify if I really don’t dream."

Lin Xian gave her a thumbs-up:

"Smart, and... you seem to be becoming more understanding."

He recalled in The Second Dreamland, when he had taken CC for a motorcycle ride, just leaning in a bit closer made CC feel he was taking advantage of her and mock him.

But now, she directly grasped his intent.

She was becoming increasingly considerate.

"Can we borrow a room?"

Lin Xian looked at Gao Wen.

Gao Wen nodded, gesturing upstairs:

"Go to the building above; there are guest rooms inside."

Afterward.

Lin Xian and CC entered a small room. It was cramped, with only a bed and a set of table and chairs.

Bang.

Closing the door, the atmosphere of the room turned a bit odd.

Narrow space, a man and a woman alone—it made Lin Xian feel awkward:

"Maybe I should let Yiyi do it instead."

He pointed to the door:

"It’s just waking you up and asking about the dream content. It doesn’t necessarily have to be me... Yiyi could do it just as well."

"Heh, that’s not like you."

CC smiled inexplicably:

"What’s wrong with this world... you sound guilty now?"

"I’m not guilty."

Lin Xian spread his hands confidently:

"I’m an upright gentleman, guilty of nothing. I’m here purely for scientific verification experiments, and mostly worried that you’d feel embarrassed."

"Hm."

CC snorted lightly, then lay down on the bed.

She turned over, facing the wall, her back to Lin Xian:

"Keep quiet. I’m going to sleep."

...

Lin Xian sat on the chair, staring at CC’s slender back, listening to the shifting rhythm of her breathing.

Clearly.

She wasn’t asleep at all.

Normal sleep has steady and even breathing, but CC was obviously tense. She lay stiffly on the bed, not moving a bit since she first lay down.

"You can move a little."

Lin Xian softly reminded her.

"Not happening."

CC turned over to face Lin Xian:

"With you staring at me like that, how could I possibly sleep?"

"Well, I’ve nowhere else to go."

Lin Xian glanced around the cramped room:

"This place is so small. Either I face you or face the wall. I can’t exactly sing you a song or tell you a story to lull you, can I?"

Pfft–

CC was amused:

"Alright, then tell me some boring story."

She turned over again, back to Lin Xian, closing her eyes:

"The duller, the better. Consider it sleep-inducing."

"..."

Lin Xian faced a challenge.

He had plenty of interesting stories, but boring ones... those stumped him.

"’The Little Mermaid.’"

Lin Xian said:

"Have you heard of it?"

Lin Xian had recently read that story carefully in Andersen’s Fairy Tales at a slow pace and remembered it clearly.

It was probably the most sleep-inducing story he could think of.

"What’s that?" CC asked.

"A fairytale."

Lin Xian smiled:

"A childish story made for kids."

"Alright."

CC adjusted her posture, lying more comfortably, speaking softly:

"Sounds... pretty childish."

Then.

Lin Xian leaned back in his chair and slowly recounted the tale of the little mermaid from his memory.
