Episode 4: Homeless Girls – Part 7
“I thought you would have brought her back a while ago. I didn’t expect this ‘encounter’ to happen only today. Your fate is still as unpredictable as ever,” Ling remarked with emotion.
Her fate, even Sekai-chan herself couldn’t clearly see it.
“But Saint is also very special. Although she is your F, and inherited from the previous world… she still knows nothing about you. She doesn’t recognize you at all, just as if you’ve never met her.”
“So, you mean neither of you know each other…?”
“This situation doesn’t even qualify as strangers. There’s not a single connecting point between you. Yet, as your F, she has a strong fate connection with you. This is very unusual.”
“That’s not right, she seemed to recognize me.”
Although I had no idea that this beautiful blonde girl was my last F named Saint, this beautiful blonde girl seemed to recognize me.
Hearing my words, Ling frowned and retorted, “You say she recognizes you?”
“Yes, she said a God guided her to my side, and even called me Master on the spot, kneeling before me… Uh, speaking of Gods, although I think it’s unlikely, I might as well ask, it wasn’t you, Ling, who gave her some ‘revelation’, was it?”
“It wasn’t me. Although I sensed her existence before, I’ve always been waiting for things to ‘develop naturally’. I haven’t… The God she mentioned might be something else, or perhaps her memory is…….”
“Even you can’t confirm it?”
“I cannot discern or change anything related to your and your F’s destiny, Juncheng. Perhaps Miss Yi can do it.”
“But Miss Yi doesn’t seem to want to help at all. I asked her about the whereabouts of Xue, Xuan’er, and Xiao An, but she wouldn’t tell me.”
“She wouldn’t tell you?”
“While it’s a shame I couldn’t get their whereabouts directly, I feel like Miss Yi’s reaction was… different.”
“This is what you call different. Previously, soul cleansing and forced reincarnation for anyone could only be done with the mutual agreement of both of us. But this time, she took it upon herself to do it without consulting me.”
“Hmm? You mean she didn’t get your consent? You mean… it was ‘her own will’?”
“That’s right, it was ‘her own assertion’.”
The fact that both Ling and I emphasized ‘her own’ was enough to show how strange this matter was.
Because when she was Sekai-chan, she had ‘never expressed her own will’. She would only passively obey our arrangements, and would have no opinions, as she felt all matters were ‘meaningless’.
Therefore, this time, her displaying her own will was rather thought-provoking.
Could it be that by giving her a name, she is now moving towards becoming a ‘person’?
“Hehehe, what’s so surprising about that? Since it’s a split personality, it’s natural for it to develop its own assertiveness.”
“Oh? Lianbing, you seem to know a lot about this? Do you have any experience, Young Miss?”
“Heh, after all, I used to share a body with a certain annoying guy. Her changes would be broadcast to me like an un-unsubscribable subscription, whether I wanted to know or not.”
“So, what kind of changes were they specifically?”
“At first, she only ‘passively liked your puppet’. Later, she gradually awakened her romantic feelings. When I swapped with her, she came to your side and actively fell in love with you, Juncheng.”
“I see…”
Indeed, when I first met Ruanruan, she would only blush shyly. But later, when I met her again, she was much more proactive and willing to tolerate me.
“From passive to active, huh…”
Ling mused after hearing Lianbing’s words.
“That’s right! Everyone experiences a mental split once in their lives. Look, I’ve split too~”
“No, yours wasn’t on the level of a mental split.”
Zihua wasn’t a split personality of yours either, right? Although we all thought Zihua was similar to Ruanruan at first.
But we later discovered that Zihua was not a split at all; not only was she complete in herself, but she had also gone through countless time backtracks, becoming an infinitely great spiritual entity.
“And you’ve split too, Juncheng~”
Zi’ai and I are two souls. Ling and Yi’s current situation is more like the previous Lianbing and Ruanbing, or the situation with Lily and the dark-skinned succubus Lily is also very similar.
However, everyone has two sides, and this might be true… It’s just that ordinary people are not so extreme that their two faces are thoroughly separated.
“Forget it, she won’t come out if I call her. We’ll talk about it tomorrow. I’m tired.”
“It’s rare for you to complain about being tired.”
“In the morning, in order to allow Yi to appear simultaneously, I also undertook part of the fate regulation. This means I’ve essentially worked a full day today.”
“You must be tired. Let me give you a shoulder massage.”
“No, I want to sleep.”
She even refused my massage, so she must really be out of energy.
Although our bodies have infinite energy, they also simulate ‘fatigue’, because without the feeling of ‘tiredness’, wouldn’t sleeping be uncomfortable?
It’s only when you’re utterly exhausted and embrace each other to sleep that you feel comfort and security.
“Is that so? Then let’s get some sleep early today… Ah, Lianbing and Lan, can you two sleep too?”
“Sleep, as in sleep?”
Lan blinked her eyes, closed her laptop, and looked at me expectantly.
I tapped her forehead with my index finger and said, “Don’t get any funny ideas. It has no other meaning, just normal sleep. Ling said she wants to sleep, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to be doing anything else next to them.”
“Eh… but we were just interrupted…”
“Heh, this Young Miss has already compromised and agreed to three people, and you’re saying you don’t want to continue?”
Lianbing seemed unhappy too. After being interrupted twice and nothing coming of it, the Young Miss must have been very displeased.
So, I pulled the two of them closer, kissed them on their foreheads, and said, “Good girls, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Can you bear with it for tonight?” It seemed that acting directly to coax them was more effective. Lianbing and Lan softened in my arms like two lazy cats, their bones melting away. This was also due to my ‘roguish’ skill in coaxing women. But being able to resolve it so easily was also because, compared to before, both of them had become much more accommodating.
Previously, getting Lan and Lianbing to be hugged by me together was absolutely impossible. Even if it happened, the two of them would have been defensive, and never would have gotten along peacefully like this.
Both have compromised… for me.
That’s wonderful, you two. I love you.
Next, we’ll prepare to sleep… only the living room is available. The master bedroom where Ling and I used to sleep together is now occupied by Xiao Mengli, so we naturally can’t sleep there anymore. And Saint is lying on the sofa, leaving no space for another person.
So, we can only clear the table and lay out the bedding, sleeping in a line.
This is truly a ‘big quilt, shared sleep’.

There were originally only two spare sets of bedding, but Lan happened to bring pillows and bedding with her, which were in her several large bags. So, there was finally enough. I was the last one to brush my teeth and wash my face. After finishing, I returned to the living room. The bedding was already laid out, but Lan and Lianbing were still arguing about something. It seemed they were arguing about positions, as there were four people, and who could sleep on either side of me became the issue.
Actually, I wanted to sleep on the side… It seems that was directly rejected.
By the way, the sleeping postures of the three of them… Ling is still her usual self, the ‘sleep naked’ type. She say this is the most comfortable way to sleep.
But sometimes when I omit things, she would wear clothes. This is to satisfy my personal preference. I get more excited seeing her in a state of partial undress, like when her panties are still on her thighs.
As for Lianbing, since the Young Miss was brought here by me, she naturally had no spare clothes. Lan’s and Ling’s clothes didn’t fit, so in the end, my shirt was used as pajamas. Lan looked envious but ultimately did not choose to wear a boyfriend’s shirt like Lianbing. Because Lan did bring her sleep… but that couldn’t be considered sleepwear at all; it was purely a piece of cloth meant to seduce me and trigger the omitted parts.
It was more provocative than not wearing anything. An ordinary person would lose control seeing it. Well, but I maintained control and went to sleep.
I was too lazy to get involved in their position battle. I was just a prize, let them fight over me.
So, I didn’t bother with them and lay down in the second bedroll, turning over, ready to sleep.
“How about this, we’ll take the left and right sides, and the remaining person will sleep on top of Juncheng.”
I couldn’t pretend I didn’t hear this, as it concerned my sleep quality.
“No way, how can I sleep being pressed down on? I’ll have nightmares.”
“Hehehe, Juncheng, you can just treat me like a bolster pillow?”
“No, no, how can a living person be a bolster pillow? Besides, wouldn’t that make it impossible to lie on my side? It’s too uncomfortable.”
Lan pouted, not very satisfied with my answer, then suddenly slapped her hand as if she’d thought of something.
“Phew, then how about this, Juncheng, you can sleep with one of us underneath you~”
“That’s not a human body cushion… Who would want to be used as a cushion? How can you sleep like that?”
“Me~ Me~ I can sleep holding you gently, Juncheng. You can press down on me as much as you want, press down on me!”
She seemed extremely excited.
Are you a masochist?
And your intentions are too obvious towards the end.
SF.

Shall I just lie on top of you and enter your body?
Then it wouldn’t be sleeping, it would be ‘sleeping with Lan’.
“No, if it were a flat chest, it would be barely acceptable… being unevenly padded on the back is also uncomfortable, and you’ll get aroused. Sleep properly. Don’t have any crooked thoughts.”
“Ugh, but I want to sleep next to Juncheng… Now there’s Sister Ling, and Little Bingbing. My seniority is the lowest here, so I’ll be marginalized in the end… Waaah, I’m going to cry. Crying next to the two elder sisters, not receiving my husband’s affection, ahh~ my life is so bitter~”
“Such drama… Forget it, I don’t want to waste any more time. You sleep next to him.”
“Yay~ Thank you, Sister Ling~ Sister Ling, you’re the best~”
“Are you sure, Ling? If I’m not sleeping next to you, you won’t be able to sleep at all, will you?”
“What are you worried about? I’m not a child anymore. Alright, turn off the lights and go to sleep.”
After turning off the lights, I got into bed.
Lianbing and Lan directly moved closer to me, burrowing into my covers. This completely negates the need for four sets of bedding… I didn’t place my hand on Lan’s waist, but instead held Ling’s hand, feeling the warmth of our palms. Ling and I clasped fingers, and she nestled our clasped hands into her chest. This way, Ling would probably be able to sleep soundly.
Knock, knock, knock-
Not long after lying down, there was a knock on the door.
Who could it be at this late hour? Could it be those damned assassin groups again…
Do they have to be so dedicated? It’s already past midnight.
I was getting impatient.
I wanted to ignore it, but I heard a voice from outside.
“Brother, are you home?”
Damn it, my dear sisters have arrived.
