174 Chapter - Side Effects Of Condensed Snow
“Huh?”
Bai Cheng rubbed her eyes, still groggy, a look of confusion and bewilderment on her face.
“What side effect?”
Becoming slightly more awake, she finally noticed that it was still pitch black outside the window, and the employees’ battle was still ongoing.
“I’m so sleepy, why are you bothering me instead of grinding monsters?”
“Xiao Cheng, aren’t you curious about Ningxue’s side effect?”
Hearing this, Bai Cheng finally noticed that Yu Nian had, at some point, gone to the door, her ear pressed against it, listening intently to something.
“That’s her privacy, you shouldn’t do that…”
“I know, I know,” Yu Nian said, “but I heard it when I was still fighting on the roof of the train, so you can’t blame me, right?”
“What is it?” Yu Nian, seeing this, got up and sat on the bed, putting on her shoes. “What exactly did you hear?”
“Shh!” Yu Nian made a shushing gesture.
Seeing this, Bai Cheng stopped talking and just sat on the bed.
Soon, apart from the occasional sounds of battle from outside the carriage, the entire bedroom became exceptionally quiet.
And then, a faint panting sound suddenly echoed in Bai Cheng’s ears.
Its frequency seemed to be increasing, and the noise it made was growing louder.
In less than two minutes, a sudden, abrupt scream was heard, and Bai Cheng instinctively shrunk her neck.
“This, this…”
“See, you can’t blame me, right?” Yu Nian spread her hands. “Xiao Cheng, you can hear it even sitting on the bed.”
“So… Ningxue’s hard-to-talk-about side effect is this?” Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
Yu Nian retorted, “Then, Xiao Cheng, do you think a pure girl like Ningxue would suddenly do something like this?”
“It was once just now, and now again, and it seems like it’s not over yet!”
“How can there be such a side effect?”
“Holy moly, Ningxue must be ecstatic!”
“???”
“So you woke me up just to gossip?” Bai Cheng rolled her eyes, a bit speechless.
“Of course not entirely!” Yu Nian said as if it were obvious, “I just saw Ningxue was so uncomfortable, and I wanted to help her.”
Bai Cheng’s eyes paused at her words, then she lay back down on the bed.
“Whatever you want.”
“No, Xiao Cheng, don’t misunderstand me!” Seeming to notice the change in the other party’s mood, she quickly explained, “Don’t we have that thing, let’s lend it to Ningxue.”
“But there’s one more thing,” this time Yu Nian became serious, which was rare.
“Leng Ningxue isn’t living alone in carriage number four right now; Huang Yu is also there. Although he is an absolutely loyal employee, his physical form is no different from a human, and he’s a man, crucially.”
“Remember, when Leng Ningxue was recruiting teammates, she explicitly said no boys, but now she’s living with a ‘boy’.”
She then added, “Although the employees all have things to do right now, what if Huang Yu returns to the carriage and walks in… that would truly be a complete loss of privacy!”
Hearing this, Bai Cheng also expressed agreement noncommittally: “That’s true.”
“But I asked Ningxue later, and she’s still hesitating about whether to live with us. We can’t get a new carriage in a short time, so… how about we let Huang Yu live in ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) another carriage for now?” Bai Cheng added.
“But the kitchen is in carriage number four, Huang Yu always has to come there, and Zi Yuan also visits frequently, even though she’s a girl.”
Yu Nian was still emphasizing the issue of privacy, then proceeded to state her idea.
“I think we should talk to her. We’re all girls, after all, and this isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s better to live together.”
Bai Cheng’s mouth twitched at her words: “Only Nian Nian would think it’s not shameful!”
But undeniably, Yu Nian’s words made some sense.
If Bai Cheng had known about Leng Ningxue’s side effect earlier, she would never have arranged the train’s functions this way.
“Then after her side effect ends…”
Before Bai Cheng could finish speaking, Yu Nian directly knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
The faint sounds from inside immediately paused, and after a moment, a weak inquiry came through.
“Is… is that Bai Cheng?”
“It’s me, Yu Nian.” Yu Nian went straight to the point, “Ningxue, can we talk?”
This time, there was a long silence.
At this moment, Leng Ningxue was brainstorming internally. She felt shy, ashamed, self-reproachful, and even countless thoughts arose in an instant.
Could it be, could it be that the sound was too loud just now… and she was discovered?
It seemed the long silence made the atmosphere a bit awkward, and Leng Ningxue on the other side of the door finally spoke: “Is… is there something important?”
Yu Nian’s voice was firm: “Yes, very important.”
Then came a rustling sound, followed by a click, and the door was opened after all.
At this moment, Leng Ningxue’s clothes still had some stains on them, her ice-blue pupils were crystal clear, her long eyelashes blinked, and she bit her pearly teeth tightly.
She looked very uncomfortable, standing with her feet turned inward, her small face flushed with a deep blush.
At this moment, she completely lost her usual coldness, instead appearing in a pitifully adorable manner.
“Wh-what’s wrong?” Her eyes darted away; she didn’t even dare to look Yu Nian directly in the eye.
“Ningxue,” Yu Nian placed both hands on her shoulders, causing the latter’s body to tremble suddenly.
“There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone goes through this kind of thing. Although we are teammates, in this world, we are family whose lives are connected…”
“You… you all heard it?” Leng Ningxue’s face instantly turned even redder, and she instinctively recoiled.
But Yu Nian hugged her tightly: “It’s really nothing. If you acknowledge us as your teammates, then how long do you plan to keep it a secret?”
“I, I didn’t…”
Yu Nian hugged her even tighter: “We are friends, we are family. Can’t you even trust us?”
“I…” Leng Ningxue struggled in vain, finally collapsing completely into Yu Nian’s embrace, tears almost falling.
“Wuwu, I… I’m so uncomfortable…”
“It’s okay, don’t try to suppress it.”
“But, but my pants will get dirty…”
Yu Nian suddenly slapped her lower back without explanation, and Leng Ningxue instantly let out a startled cry.
Then… electric shock.
“Ah!”
Bai Cheng, seeing this, slapped her own forehead, then directly lay down on the bed.
“Oh my god… Nian Nian, this girl is just too experienced.”
Well, now it wasn’t just one set of clothes that would get dirty.
After it ended, just as Leng Ningxue was still feeling utterly mortified and unsure how to face them, the voice of Scarlet Flame suddenly came from outside the carriage.
“Young Miss, Azure Bird has discovered an enemy War General-level employee, and they are heading towards us!”
The three of them froze at the words.
