Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1658 - 1655: Lin Tian’s Confusion

Lin Tian still brought Xiao Manxuan, carrying the ancient zither, and returned to the campsite with Qiao Xiaoyi and the others.

At this time, it was already past two in the morning. Lin Tian arrived in front of the girls’ tent, and He Xiaofei blocked him, face beaming with a smile: "Girls’ dormitory, boys are barred. Give Xuanxuan to me; I promise to take good care of her for you."

"Alright, thank you." Lin Tian couldn’t help but form a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, thinking this He Xiaofei is quite interesting.

He Xiaofei stepped forward to take Xiao Manxuan, but as soon as her hand touched Xiao Manxuan, the little girl instinctively grabbed Lin Tian’s clothes tightly.

"This little girl, asleep and still can smell people’s presence?" Lin Tian was between laughter and tears, signaling with his gaze for He Xiaofei to pry the little girl’s hand off.

He Xiaofei was also helpless and had to reach out to try to pry open Xiao Manxuan’s fingers, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t separate the little girl’s hand.

Despite being a pretty and cute girl still in her dreams, her grip was surprisingly strong. It’s said that a person’s potential can be triggered during sleep; some sleepwalkers usually cannot swim, yet swim better than anyone during sleepwalking, or maybe this little girl’s potential was just astonishing.

"This..." Lin Tian felt awkward, unable to detach the little girl. Should he go into the girls’ tent and sleep? It’s obviousl even thinking this is impossible.

Estimated that Mu Binglan, waiting for a long time without seeing He Xiaofei return, came out from the tent again, saw the two looking troubled, and the tough girl was puzzled: "What are you guys...?"

He Xiaofei pointed at Xiao Manxuan’s hand, full of speechlessness and helplessness: "Mr. Xiao won’t let go."

Mu Binglan raised her heroic eyebrows in disbelief and attempted herself. With her strength, she could beat boys at arm wrestling, but after much effort, she still couldn’t loosen Xiao Manxuan’s hand.

Now all three were awkward, looking at each other, as if Lin Tian had to go inside and spend the night with three girls.

"Ahem, let’s do this, I’ll sit by the campfire. Give me a blanket, and I’ll just manage through the night." Lin Tian eventually gave up on the separation idea, opting for this solution.

"No way." He Xiaofei immediately vetoed Lin Tian’s plan, saying seriously: "Even though we have snake repellent, we cannot guarantee absolute safety. We have a spare tent still, although a bit small, it will be just enough for the two of you for a night." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Lin Tian hadn’t had time to oppose, the two heroines were already acting swiftly, starting to search for the spare tent. They even dragged Qiao Xiaoyi out to help. The three of them were efficient, setting up a new tent within half an hour, right in between the two large tents.

"Go inside, what are you hesitating for?" He Xiaofei urged.

"Well... we..." Facing three pairs of piercing eyes, Lin Tian, no matter how thick-skinned, felt awkward.

He Xiaofei, however, had a casual smile on her face, unconcerned: "Don’t pretend, as your class leader, wouldn’t I know you live together in the student apartment dormitory?"

Lin Tian turned to look at Qiao Xiaoyi and Mu Binglan, both with the same expression as the class leader. The three said nothing, each returning to their tent, leaving Lin Tian alone.

"Sigh, I’m too naive." Lin Tian said somewhat narcissistically, then the naive person entered the new tent.

Though small, the tent in this wilderness provided a sense of peace and warmth. Gently placing Xiao Manxuan down, adjusting her to a comfortable sleeping position, Lin Tian then lay beside her in his clothing.

No choice, the little girl’s hand clung to him, making it impossible to distance. The small tent, yet accommodating a world of two.

Perhaps it was due to Xiao Manxuan’s presence that the tent was soon filled with a peculiar fragrance. Lin Tian then remembered, Xiao Manxuan had brought that plant from the cliff top with her.

Whether it was the effect of that plant or the exhaustion of the night, surrounded by this fragrance, Lin Tian felt relaxed and suddenly fell asleep.

In the dream, there was Xiao Manxuan, herbs, and that fragrant plant growing all over the mountains.

Not sure until what time, Lin Tian opened his eyes, first seeing the bright light filling the tent, sunlight streaming in from a transparent window atop, carrying the warmth of early morning.

Then he looked at Xiao Manxuan. The little girl was sleeping quite restlessly, sprawling across the whole space.

Lin Tian tidied up her messy hair, at which point, the little girl slowly opened her eyes, waking unexpectedly.

"Lin Tian, you’re here so early?" Xiao Manxuan glanced at Lin Tian, her eyes still muddled, saying mindlessly, then burrowing her head down again.

Three seconds later, Xiao Manxuan suddenly raised her head, looking at Lin Tian up close, utterly baffled.

"Ah..."

A clear exclamation rang through the skies, making Lin Tian’s eardrum tingle.

"You... why are you in my tent, where are Class Leader He and the others?" Xiao Manxuan sat up, staring at Lin Tian, bewildered.

"Last night you clung onto me tightly, not even Mu Binglan could pry your hand open; tell me, what should I have done?" Lin Tian was quite innocent.

"Did I...did I do that?" Xiao Manxuan bit her lip, blushing, she whispered, vaguely having some memory.

"Mr. Xiao, we can testify for Lin Tian, he wasn’t lying, hehe." He Xiaofei’s voice came inside.

Xiao Manxuan’s face reddened even more, dawdling for a while before leaving the tent, embarrassed to see anyone.

When Lin Tian came out, he saw He Xiaofei smiling with deep meaning. Damn, knew you guys would let imaginations run wild, Lin Tian was speechless, but he’s too lazy to explain; explanation just darkens the story more, better left untold.

"Class Leader He, Zhao Weitao and the gang have left." Qiao Xiaoyi came over, saying, breaking this awkward vibe.

Lin Tian and the others turned around, sure enough seeing Zhao Weitao and the four having packed up their tent and luggage. Zhao Weitao turned around, exchanging a glance with Lin Tian, its meaning unclear, then left with the other three.

"Just as well, without them getting in the way, we’ll have more fun." Mu Binglan walked out from the tent, saying coldly.

Hearing Mu Binglan, not having any intention to return, Lin Tian didn’t mind either; after all, the holiday is not over yet, not planning Mr. Zhao’s presence from the start, being without them is indeed much more comfortable.

After freshening up, Mu Binglan and Qiao Xiaoyi were still responsible for collecting firewood, Xiao Manxuan and He Xiaofei prepared breakfast, just that the little girl would occasionally sneak glances at Lin Tian, every time her face blushing red.

Lin Tian looked at the busy four, pretending to wander idly, walking to the stream, taking out his phone, and dialing a number.

"Brother Lin, calling this early, are you back at school already?" It was Thunder Wolf’s voice, very casual.

"Thunder Wolf, let me ask you something. What did you do to my classmates last night?" Lin Tian lowered his voice, frowning as he asked.
