Help, What Should I Do If The Person Who Likes Me Is a Yandere! - Chapter 33:

Chapter 33: The Holy Son’s Lap Pillow:

After drawing the curtains, Xu Ze glanced at the girl huddled by his legs, desperately trying to hide. He sighed helplessly.

“No need to hide, Xiao Yong already saw you.”

Blushing, Gu Ling’er stood up sheepishly. “I’m sorry for causing trouble, Holy Son…”

“This isn’t really much trouble…”

Xu Ze rubbed his forehead. “The real trouble… is you.”

“Xiao Yong and the other Heavenly Dark experts have been stationed outside the sect for years, so naturally, they don’t know the disciples well. But the sect master and those disciples outside are different. How did you get in here? And where is Zhou Lin?”

Gu Ling’er gave Xu Ze an innocent look. “Senior Sister Zhou said she wanted to leave the sect to meet her lover and asked me to cover for her.”

This was alarming. Gu Ling’er spoke with an innocent expression, and despite Xu Ze’s sharpness, he couldn’t find any flaws in her story.

“Really?” Xu Ze looked at Gu Ling’er with suspicion.

Gu Ling’er nodded earnestly, her eyes pure and sincere, making it hard to believe she was lying. Xu Ze couldn’t imagine she would deceive him. Having little experience with the term ‘yandere’ in either his past or current life, Xu Ze naturally wasn’t on guard.

He just felt… something was off.

However, Xu Ze didn’t dwell on it further. The immediate concern was how to hide Gu Ling’er’s identity from his master. Leng Youran was different from him; she was extremely opposed to such matters. Whether it was Zhou Lin meeting her lover or Gu Ling’er pretending to be her, getting caught would result in severe punishment, possibly even expulsion from the sect.

“You really know how to cause trouble.” Xu Ze pinched Gu Ling’er’s nose, and she playfully stuck out her tongue. Then, her eyes, clear as autumn water, gazed deeply at Xu Ze.

“However, as long as I can see you, Holy Son, Ling’er is satisfied.”

Xu Ze was slightly taken aback.

Looking into the girl’s earnest and sincere eyes, Xu Ze couldn’t deny feeling something. Although many girls in the Heavenly Dark Sect showed affection toward him, few would risk expulsion just to be by his side.

He patted Gu Ling’er’s head, and she immediately showed a cat-like expression of enjoyment. Xu Ze sighed. “Alright, go rest. I’ll do my best to keep this from my master.”

“Thank you, Holy Son.” Gu Ling’er smiled but showed no intention of leaving.

Xu Ze found it amusing. “What, do you want to sleep here tonight?”

Gu Ling’er nodded vigorously. Having finally seen the Holy Son, she didn’t want to leave.

Seeing she actually wanted to stay, Xu Ze was both amused and surprised. Alone in a room with a girl, wasn’t she afraid he might take advantage of her?

“Then go rest at the back.” Xu Ze said, pointing to the bed behind them.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ling’er shook her head forcefully. “No, I want to sleep here.”

Here?

Xu Ze looked around.

Though the carriage was spacious compared to a regular carriage, it had only one seat and the bed behind it. There was no other place for Gu Ling’er to sleep.

“Ling’er can lie on the Holy Son’s lap…”

Without waiting for Xu Ze to respond, Gu Ling’er blushed, knelt on the ground, and laid her head sideways on Xu Ze’s lap, her eyes shyly looking up at him.

A lap pillow…

This girl… really knew how to enjoy herself.

Seeing her innocent eyes, Xu Ze couldn’t bring himself to refuse.

Helpless, Xu Ze allowed her to rest on his lap, experiencing his first lap pillow. But it felt a bit strange.

Wasn’t a lap pillow supposed to be something girls gave him to enjoy?

Xu Ze couldn’t help but feel conflicted. However, as he watched the girl fall asleep, her pure and beautiful face made him feel at ease.

As Xu Ze gently stroked her hair, he heard the system notification in his ear.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining ‘Ten Thousand Transformation Elixir Pill x1’]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining ‘Rebirth Pill x1’]

Xu Ze’s eyes brightened.

Though this time the rewards were pills, Ten Thousand Transformation Elixir Pill was a renowned top-tier cultivation pill in the Profound realm. After consuming it, the spiritual Qi would flow endlessly, with effects lasting ten days and nights. The Rebirth Pill was even more extraordinary. Not only could it revive someone from death, but it could also transform one’s physique into a flawless true body.

Originally, he wanted to consume them immediately. However, seeing the sleeping girl beside him, Xu Ze suppressed his excitement and put them back into the system.

Good things were worth waiting for.

Xu Ze wasn’t in a hurry to use these treasures. Closing his eyes, he decided to rest for a while.

…

In his dreams, Xu Ze seemed to have a strange vision.

A girl, whose face he couldn’t see clearly, gently kissed his cheek. There was a soft whisper in his ear, but he couldn’t make out the words. Yet, it made his heart race slightly.

He opened his eyes to find the sky outside was already light.

Gu Ling’er, who had slept on his lap all night, was still peacefully asleep.

Touching his face, the wetness felt like an illusion from his sleep. Xu Ze rubbed his forehead, and felt a bit helpless.

“Am I… at the age to have such dreams?”
