Apocalyptic Crossover: Starting with a Guide to Winning Over Asuna

Chapter 34 The Overnight Stay Incident, Emergency Phone Call

"How about we do it another day?" Lu Xiao scratched his head.

Hearing this, Shino was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't give up. A forced smile appeared on her lips: "Don't you want me to come in?"

This is terrible; Lu Xiao is now in a dilemma.

If I take her inside and she sees Avina, how do I explain that?

But if we don't bring her in, Shino will definitely be sad, and her affection level will drop.

I'm going all in.

"Come on, I'll take you inside to have a look, but don't be surprised." Lu Xiao took Shi Nai's hand and walked upstairs.

Sinon finally showed a happy smile.

"Why are you surprised? Boys' rooms are usually messy."

Lu Xiao remained silent, inserted the key into the lock, and did not unlock it for a long time.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally opened the door.

"Welcome home, Master!"

A sweet and obedient voice rang out first.

Avina appeared at the door dressed as a maid, standing properly and bowing slightly.

The skirt's drape was perfectly curved, but the bending motion still revealed a glimpse of her snow-white chest, making her particularly eye-catching.

Lu Xiao raised his hand and slapped his forehead, his face full of helplessness, secretly lamenting to himself.

That's it, I knew it would turn out like this.

Shino, standing beside him, froze on the spot, her entire body stiffening at the doorway, staring dumbfounded at the scene before her.

The smile on her face froze instantly, vanished in an instant, and her eyes were filled with surprise and confusion, even a hint of unconcealed grievance.

She never expected that there would be a girl dressed as a maid in Lu Xiao's house, who would call him "master" so affectionately.

The air suddenly became awkward and stagnant.

Sinon gave a stiff smile: "I won't bother you any longer, I'll head back now."

"Shino, let me explain." Lu Xiao quickly grabbed Shino's small hand.

"No need to explain anything, it's fine."

"Look closely at her, doesn't she look familiar?"

Upon hearing this, Sinon looked at Avina, and as she looked, her expression grew increasingly shocked: "It's Avina, the High Priestess of the Glory Guild!?"

"That's right, it's her! Come in and let me explain."

Lu Xiao pulled Shi Nai directly into the room and closed the door.

"Here's what happened."

Lu Xiao told Shi Nai everything that happened last night. Shi Nai was stunned as she listened, and even smiled, her tense expression relaxing considerably.

"So, all of this was done by your alter ego."

Lu Xiao nodded solemnly: "Yes, that's right."

"A servant for a month? How could you even think of that?"

"It wasn't my idea, it was my clone's. It was like this when I woke up, which is why I didn't dare let you come up earlier, worried that this would happen. Are you still angry with me?"

Sinon shook her head: "I'm not angry anymore. After hearing your story, I actually find it quite interesting. The High Priest of the Glory Guild has become a servant. Wouldn't everyone else be shocked if they knew?"

"You mustn't tell anyone about this."

"Especially Asuna, right? Don't worry, I won't tell."

By this time, Avina had already prepared dinner, which was still being supervised by her clone.

"Master, please enjoy your dinner."

Shi Nai revealed a strange expression: "You're quite good at training."

"Uh, it's alright. My clone is rather cunning. Hurry up and eat."

After the two finished dinner, it was already late.

Shino lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers: "Why don't you take me home?"

Lu Xiao thought for a moment and said, "It's already so late, the road is probably very dangerous. Why don't you sleep here with me tonight?"

"

Shino glanced at the house; there were two bedrooms in total.

Lu Xiao said, "You sleep in one room, Avina sleeps in another, and I'll sleep on the floor."

"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Shino's tone was full of shyness; she had never spent the night at another man's house before.

"I'm really worried about you going back alone. There are enough rooms at home, you won't be mistreated, so please stay here."

Avina chimed in at the opportune moment, "Yes, Miss Sinon, going out at night is indeed dangerous. The master is only thinking of your safety. I'll go and prepare a guest room right away, and make sure it's clean and comfortable."

Shino was silent for a moment, then nodded shyly: "Then... I'll trouble you."

Seeing that she agreed to stay, Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Avina worked quickly and tidied up a clean bedroom, changed the bedding, and thoughtfully brought toiletries.

Lu Xiao was carrying his bedding, preparing to sleep on the floor, when Shi Nai saw this and quickly stopped him: "How about... you don't have to sleep on the floor, the bed is quite big, I don't mind."

As soon as she said it, she covered her face in embarrassment, not daring to look Lu Xiao in the eye.

Lu Xiao paused, "It's alright, I'll sleep on the floor, you get some rest."

After settling Shi Nai in, Lu Xiao lay down on the floor, and the room gradually quieted down.

Lu Xiao gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how much time had passed, but suddenly I felt a warmth in my arms.

Lu Xiao opened his eyes and found that Shi Nai had somehow crawled into his bed.

Lu Xiao's sleepiness vanished instantly, and he froze.

The girl curled up in his arms, her body trembling slightly, as if she were a little scared.

Her cheeks were burning hot, and she gripped his clothes tightly with both hands, her whole being gentle and soft.

Lu Xiao could clearly feel her body temperature and faint fragrance. His heart raced and he even slowed his breathing.

"What's wrong? Can't you sleep?" Lu Xiao reached out and gently patted her back.

Shino rested her head on Lu Xiao's chest: "I can't sleep alone. I keep thinking about what happened that night, and now I can't sleep at all."

Lu Xiao recalled the tender moment he had spent at Asuna's house, a memory he could not forget.

"How about today?"

"Go to hell, Avina is still at home."

"Ignore her."

Lu Xiao lifted Shi Nai's chin: "We were too reckless last time. I think we can take our time this time. What do you think?"

"I...I don't know either."

Shino blushed and lowered her head, completely different from her previous cunning self; this time, she was truly in love.

"Then you'll find out."

Lu Xiao gently kissed Shi Nai's lips, the small bed warm and cozy.

Their eyes met, and they could both foresee what was about to happen.

Just as the two were deeply in love and about to take things to the next level, their phone rang.

Who would call me so late at night?

Lu Xiao looked at his phone; it was Asuna calling.

Asuna never calls herself at night unless she is in danger.

Lu Xiao quickly answered the phone.

Asuna's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lu Xiao, come quick, quick, we..."

The phone call abruptly stopped.

Sinon asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Asuna?"

Lu Xiao's expression hardened: "Something's probably happened. We need to get there right away."

Shino nodded, quickly dressed, and left the room with Lu Xiao.
