CH 8

“Ah, I see.”

Yu Feng stroked his chin, lost in thought.

He just needed to make Jean fall asleep and then have physical contact with her. Although it didn’t seem like an easy task, after all, the young girl was already asleep. How could he shamelessly linger in her bedroom?

But compared to drawing Jean’s blood, this seemed much easier.

“I can’t wait for Jean to fall asleep on her own. That would make me appear too passive. I need to find a way to make Jean fall asleep faster. That way, everything will naturally fall into place. But how can I make Jean fall asleep?”

Yu Feng pondered, resting his chin on his hand.

“I’ve got it!”

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck Yu Feng.

The most common method to lull a little girl to sleep is to tell her a story!

He could tell Jean some boring stories that would make her feel incredibly bored and gradually feel drowsy without realizing it. Then, he could… hehe, do as he pleased~ (T/N: The author needs help and I think the FBI can’t reach him since he is in China.)

As Yu Feng searched his mind for boring stories to tell, Jean walked out of the bathroom, her face still slightly flushed.

“Um… Yu, it seems like it’s getting late…”

Upon hearing these words, Yu Feng immediately became alert.

Oh no!

From the meaning of her words, it seemed that Jean was about to send him away! While Yu Feng wouldn’t mind leaving during normal times—after all, this was a girl’s room, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to linger here at this late hour—now, he couldn’t leave.

Before Jean could finish speaking, he quickly said:

“Jean, don’t worry, I still feel like it’s early!”

Upon hearing this, Jean paused for a moment, looked at Yu Feng with wide eyes, and said, “Yu, are you sure it still feels early? If you sleep too late, you’ll feel tired in the morning. We have physics class tomorrow, and our physics teacher hates it when someone falls asleep in her class.”

Jean was thinking from an innocent perspective (for once). She was just worried that Yu Feng would feel sleepy during the day if he stayed up too late.

“It’s alright, I can’t sleep for a while anyway, and besides… you haven’t shown me around your room properly.”

Yu Feng said with a smiling face.

Jean blushed again at his words.

A girl’s room wasn’t a place where boys could casually visit, especially late at night.

Yu Feng seemed to notice the strange tone in his words and immediately coughed awkwardly, changing the subject:

“Oh, by the way, Jean, why did you suddenly go for a walk outside at midnight? Is there something on your mind?”

Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness appeared in Jean’s expression as she said, “Actually, there’s nothing much. I was just thinking about the power inside me. Professor Charles always encourages me to learn how to control that power actively, but no matter how many times I’ve tried, I can’t control it. I’m afraid that I’ll hurt others when it erupts.”

She paused for a moment and looked at Yu Feng. It seemed like she wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, she didn’t say anything.

Her face blushed again.

“Um…”

Yu Feng opened his mouth, feeling slightly puzzled. This girl’s shyness seemed to have a very short cooldown. She would get shy every now and then. Could it be that his charm was so overwhelming that she already liked him so much?

But seeing Jean’s saddened expression, Yu Feng knew his opportunity had come. After a pause, he said:

“Jean, don’t think about those unhappy things anymore. How about I tell you a story?”

“A story?”

Jean’s attention was immediately captured, and she looked at Yu Feng with curiosity. “Can you tell stories?”

“Of course!”

Yu Feng had a smug look on his face. “I can tell many stories. How about… I tell you a story about the Ugly Duckling?”

“Pfff!”

Upon hearing this, Jean couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Yu, do you still think I’m a clueless little kid? Who hasn’t heard the story of the Ugly Duckling?”

“Um, alright.”

Yu Feng scratched his head, feeling slightly embarrassed. He had indeed underestimated Jean, who was not only an excellent student but also possessed powerful psychic abilities. She might even be able to recite Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales or the Grimm Brothers’ stories by heart.

What story should he tell then?

A Chinese ghost story?

A rural zombie tale?

No, scary stories might be too stimulating. What if the more Jean listened, the more awake she became?

“How about…”

Yu Feng’s eyes sparkled as an idea struck him. He smiled mysteriously at Jean and said, “How about I tell you a story about The Summoner’s Rift?”

“The Summoner’s Rift?”

Jean blinked her eyes, feeling intrigued. “What’s that?”

“The Summoner’s Rift is a sacred place for the Valoran warriors. Only the most elite warriors have the privilege to enter and engage in the holy war between the purple and blue sides!”

Yu Feng’s voice became slightly enthusiastic. “In this holy war, each side summons five brave and skilled superheroes! On this day, the war began! The blue side summoned Garen, the Might of Demacia, Katarina, the Sinister Blade, Varus, the Arrow of Retribution, Leona, the Radiant Dawn, and Xin Zhao, the Seneschal of Demacia. As for the purple side…”

“Um, wait, Yu. Who are Garen and the others? Are they all mutants?”

Jean blinked her eyes, feeling confused.

“Mutants?” Yu Feng was taken aback and immediately coughed awkwardly. “You can think of them as mutants. They are summoned to honor mutants, and they must win to bring glory to mutants and destroy the enemy’s crystal!”

“Oh, I see. So, what abilities do those mutant heroes have? Which heroes did the purple side summon?”

Jean asked with great interest.

Those heroes have numerous abilities. Let’s start with Garen, the Might of Demacia. He also has a nickname: the Bush Ranger. He excels at wielding a large sword…
