422 A Relationship Full of Misunderstandings (1/2)
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.
