9. Flopping (Revised)

"I'm so sorry, little sister..."

Lu Lin, holding a pile of clothes, sneaked out of the room that was filled with girlish pink fantasies like a thief.

He swore he didn't rummage through his sister's underwear or see love letters from other boys to her that she didn't even open even though they were covered in dust. He just happened to find the wardrobe with old clothes and took out something suitable for Mercedes!

As soon as he left the room, he put the clothes aside and slumped on the sofa, staring at the ceiling and falling into deep thought for a long time.

"Do I have to do it here?"

Mercedes quietly opened the bathroom door a little, looking at Lu Lin sitting on the sofa. The thought of what might happen next made her face pale again.

What would happen later?

Would she be abandoned by this man?

Would she be sent to someone else after being disliked by him?

Anyway, this is her life. As a slave, she will live a miserable and gloomy life.

"There's... no hope anymore."

She whispered, only loud enough for herself to hear, and said.

....

"Master... Master."

Mercedes' timid voice came from behind.

"Ah, um... Mercedes, are you done washing? I've found some clothes for you... Holy crap!!!"

Lu Lin stared at the direction of the bathroom and stopped breathing immediately.

The light coming from the window fell on the girl's beautiful body, showing her beauty in every detail.

Her somewhat damp, light golden hair draped over her shoulders, her soft and girlish lines.

A shy blush appeared on her face, as her eyes, like the arrival of twilight, tried to look at Lu Lin but quickly turned away.

At this moment, the girl seemed like a beautiful glass artwork, delicate and fragile, pure and clear - only the black chain around her fair neck was the one flaw.

A small towel covered her chest and private part, which was the last of her dignity.

Her legs were in an extremely unwilling pigeon-toed position, as if she were resisting her actions.

"Please... feel free to use me."

It seemed like she tried hard to look at Lu Lin, but eventually closed her eyes due to shyness and fear. Almost with her last strength, she spat out the words.

"Just... don't throw me away afterward."

Terrible lines.

Terrible situation.

"Me... Mercedes... What on earth are you doing, Mercedes!"

Lu Lin grabbed the clothes he found by the sofa and put them over his head. Even so, his hands slid down the clothes, revealing his confused eyes.

He didn't expose her entire body to him, but the scene was even more... irresistible.

"Master... didn't you mean for me to serve you after I finished washing?"

She tried her best to suppress the shame in her heart and spoke her thoughts with great difficulty.

"No, that's not it! It's not like that!"

"Master, don't you plan to take my first time here?"

"Please stop your delusions!"

"But your actions in the transport vehicle, the words you said in front of my former Master, and your command for me to take a bath... Aren't these all your hints?"

"No! No, it's not like that... It's cold, put on your clothes first! They're right here, hurry up..."

Lu Lin's excuse was as if he was worried about someone getting heatstroke in the winter, but he still tried to suppress his inner desires and encouraged the girl to put on the clothes.

"... Really?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, as if there was a slight difference between the Master in front of her and the one she had imagined."Really!"

Lu Lin firmly pressed his nose through his clothes, frantically nodding his head, as if the moment Mercedes took a second longer to put on her clothes, his nosebleed would burst out.

"So... I'm coming over?"

Mercedes looked at Lu Lin's seemingly shy-to-death expression, bit her lip, and asked.

"Come over quickly!"

The elf girl lowered her head, biting her lip tightly, and slowly walked over. Although Lu Lin's expression didn't seem like he was lying, she still held some doubts about him.

—Would he suddenly turn into a beast and pounce on her the moment she got close to him?

Please put on your clothes quickly!

Lu Lin repeated this sentence like crazy in his heart, but looking at Mercedes' flawless body... deep in his heart, there was actually a feeling of carefree pleasure?

However, shyness and nervousness still took the upper hand.

So Mercedes kept approaching Lu Lin.

Lu Lin also desperately suppressed the bold thoughts in his heart.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

During this time, Lu Lin fully understood what it meant to have time crawl by. He now only prayed that Mercedes would quickly realize that he really is a gentleman and not some perverted maniac.

As Mercedes got closer, the faint fragrance from her body also entered Lu Lin's nostrils.

Mercedes came closer to him.

Lu Lin! Stay calm! Take a deep breath!

He kept reminding himself, and the hand holding clothes increased its strength. Even through the clothes, his twitching face could be seen.

"Hey... Brother's shoes?"

Suddenly, the lively voice of a young girl came from the corridor.

"!"

Lu Lin suddenly had a feeling of being startled.

—If his memory didn't fail him, that was his sister's voice.

"Has Brother come back? Not bad, it's only been three days since he made his way back from the Gentle Wind Mountain Range..."

The voice murmured, then the sound of shoes being kicked off came from the corridor.

Then the footsteps quickened, and then the sliding door of the corridor was pulled open.

"Brother, you—"

The joyful voice came to an abrupt halt.

Because... there was a wet, beautiful young girl standing in front of her brother.

And her brother was holding a dress, taking a deep breath, as if he was enjoying himself.

Was that the young girl's clothes?

—No.

Because she saw it – the underwear and other clothes on the sofa.

Those were her clothes; she couldn't be mistaken.

—So, through Mercedes, Lu Lin saw the frozen smile on the young girl's face.

"Sister..."

Lu Lin pulled down the cloth covering his face and tried to squeeze out a faint smile.

"Excuse me."

He was answered with an extremely cold voice from the girl.

"You... better just go die!"

Then the corridor door was slammed shut, and the sound of the door opening and closing came from the entrance again.

"Sis, listen to me! It's really not what you think! We're innocent!!!"
