Yale and Lina reached their designated room. They expected that they would be in the same room given that they told that they were a couple, but their faces changed when they saw that there was only one bed.

Although they had told that they were a couple, they hadn’t told that they were a married couple, so they expected that there would be two beds in the room.

The powerful factions were strict with relationships, so it was unimaginable make a non-married couple sleep together. Given the self-control of experts, being in the same room wasn’t a problem, but sleeping in the same bed could create misunderstandings even if they did nothing, which all those factions due to their care of reputation wouldn’t allow to happen.

However, Ronragruk didn’t think like that and thought that although Yale and Lina weren’t married there wouldn’t be any problem if they slept together.

After all, such matters weren’t that strange among ordinary people, so Ronragruk didn’t even think about things like reputation.

“Lina, what do you think we should do?”

Yale felt that he could just go back to the Storage Space, but that would be far too disrespectful towards Ronragruk as Yale had accepted his hospitality. On the other hand, sleeping together with Lina was disrespectful towards Lina herself, so Yale was at a loss about what to do.

“Although it is a bit improper sleeping together without being married given our backgrounds, this doesn’t seem to be the case in this tribe. If they consider that a non-married couple should sleep together, we should abide by their rules. At our levels as long as we don’t want, the mortal desires won’t affect us, so there is no problem.”

Yale could understand Lina’s point. There were a lot of different cultures, and it was natural to follow the local customs as long they weren’t something unbearable for them.

However, Yale felt that the situation was too unfair for Lina even if she was doing it for Ange’s sake.

Strictly speaking, with their levels neither of them had the need to sleep every day, so they could just stay awake and say that they had slept. However, Yale was tired after using the World’s Authority too much without resting properly.

Although Yale had received the highest World’s Authority, since his own level was too low compared with the quality of the world, it was mentally tiring for him using it.

Especially converting a whole are in resources was one of the most tiring things, so Yale wanted to have a good rest.

Lina didn’t have any special need to sleep, but Yale felt that sleeping while the other party was awake would be too embarrassing.

“What are you thinking about? Come here.”

While Yale was still thinking about the topic of sleeping together, Lina was already lying on the bed.

She was embarrassed for the situation, but she also felt that was a good opportunity to be closer with Yale, so she felt that it would be alright as long as they restrained their mortal desires, which was easy for them.

Seeing that Lina didn’t care at all about the situation, Yale stopped thinking about it and walked to the bed.

Yale lied down in the bed just beside Lina and was ready to close his eyes and sleep, but he suddenly noticed a familiar sensation.

The familiar sensation was Lina’s body; she had moved closer to Yale and hugged him.

“You should be very tired, go to rest. I heard from my sister that any man could rest better with a pretty girlfriend hugging him. You are lucky for having me as your girlfriend, so go to rest.”

Yale didn’t know how to reply to those words, but he was sure that any mortal would have lost the control under such a temptation.

It wasn’t hard to deduce that Lina’s sister just wanted to be closer with her boyfriend, so she ended telling that story to Lina, and the latter with zero understanding about relationships between men and women had believed it.

Yale decided to avoid saying anything about that topic to Lina to avoid making the situation more awkward, so he also hugged her and closed his eyes to sleep.

Although Lina’s sister just told the story to Lina to fool her, Yale had really rested very well that night although he didn’t know if it was just because he was too tired or if Lina’s presence influenced him.

After opening his eyes in the morning, he noticed that they were still in the same position as the previous night, and Lina was smiling. Yale just thought that she was having a good dream, but he didn’t think that it was just the face she had when she fell asleep because Yale was hugging her.

Yale felt comfortable with the situation, so he didn’t stop hugging Lina and waited for her to wake up.

When Lina woke up, she didn’t open her eyes as she noticed that Yale was still hugging her and felt that probably he was still sleeping. It was only after an hour that she checked with her Divine Sense and noticed that Yale had already woke up.

“Why is he still hugging me if he has already woken up? Maybe he really has some feeling towards me? That would be great, but I shouldn’t make any assumption just based on the circumstances. Maybe he just didn’t want to wake me up and didn’t move. Let’s test it. If this fails, I just need to tell that I was moving in dreams and I wasn’t conscious of my actions.”

Lina wasn’t sure about why she started to love Yale, but she knew that trying to find reasons for love was a waste of time, so she had accepted her feelings. Having accepted the fact that she loved Yale, she already had the determination to become Yale’s wife one day.

Lina moved as if she was just moving in drams and kissed Yale.

Yale was shocked by the situation, but he noticed that Lina seemed to be moving in dreams.

Even thinking that Lina was just acting like that because she was asleep, Yale couldn’t avoid replying to that kiss. After all, he couldn’t deny that kissing Lina felt great, so he didn’t waste the chance.

Lina noticed that Yale wasn’t just passively accepting the kiss, and her heart accelerated due to her happiness.

“He seems to accept my kiss without any difficulty and even is also being active is kissing me. Maybe he also fell in love without noticing it like happened to me? However, he seems to think that I am on girls… This is bad, I need to tell him that he is wrong, but I don’t feel capable of speaking about my feeling yet…”

Lina thought about that while still in the midst of the kiss.

Lina was acting bolder than she would act in any other situation because the fact of being Yale’s fake girlfriend and at that moment she was feigning being asleep while kissing him, but she felt that she would be unable to speak about her true feelings.

Although she was literally older than the world they were at that moment, her experience in love was inexistent until she met Yale, and she still feared that everything was her misunderstanding and Yale would reject her.

Lina unconsciously opened her eyes while she was thinking about that and Yale noticed it.

“She is awake, but she is still kissing me, and she seems to be even more passionate. Wait, maybe she really likes me? However, it is a fact that she likes girls, and I am a man… Maybe she likes men and women equally? No, but she told me that she hated men. However, this doesn’t seem that she hated men at all because she seems to like kissing me as much as I like kissing her. Wait, I like kissing her, and she likes kissing me, but I am only thinking about if she loves me. Can it be that I have fallen in love with her? I don’t understand what I am feeling, but it is very possible given the situation.”

Yale was thinking at a speed that was enough to make the time seem static.

Given the situation even with Yale’s clumsiness in the topic, it would be hard for him to not notice anything.

Thinking about it, he could see a lot of proofs that Lina liked him, but he always felt that she was just acting because the knowledge he had of her. In fact, until a few moments ago, he was sure that Lina only liked girls, so he didn’t consider that Lina could love him.

He knew that Lina didn’t love him from the start, and he also didn’t love her from the beginning, but he was unable to discover in what moment exactly he fell in love with her and in the same way he also didn’t know since when Lina started loving him.

Moreover, that was only his guess, and he wasn’t sure if he was right or not, so he was hesitating about what to do.

Lina noticed that Yale had noticed that she was awake, so she stopped the kiss and blushed.

“About this… I have an explanation… Don’t be angry…”

Lina was scared about Yale’s reaction after discovering that she kissed him consciously. She wanted to flee but Yale as still hugging her.

“How can I be angry for having a morning kiss with my girlfriend.”
