The rent collector became stronger, and he took in a young, energetic woman every day.

Chapter 49 Xiao Rou and Xiao Lu reach a consensus: tonight they will spar with Brother Mo together!

Xiao Rou peeked halfway out from the crack in the door.

She was wearing that cotton nightgown, but with a pair of black stockings on her legs. The sheer fabric clung tightly to her slender calves, gleaming softly in the dim light of the corridor.

She quietly closed the door, walked barefoot on the corridor floor tiles, and headed towards the door at the far end of the corridor.

She had walked this road more than once; she could walk it with her eyes closed and never make a mistake.

Just as she was about to push open Chen Mo's door, a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness beside her.

The little deer appeared beside her, bent down, got close to her face, and whispered with a grin.

"Xiaorou, what are you doing?"

Xiao Rou's body stiffened abruptly, and she jerked as if she had been electrocuted, her mouth agape as she almost cried out.

She covered her mouth tightly, swallowing back the gasp, her chest heaving violently, her heart pounding against her chest wall.

After recognizing Xiaolu as the newcomer, she let out a long breath, patted her chest with one hand to catch her breath, and gently patted Xiaolu's arm with the other.

"You scared me to death!"

Her voice was urgent yet soft, tinged with a hint of anger.

"Weren't you asleep? What are you doing here?"

The little deer tilted its head and looked at her, its mouth wide open, revealing its two little tiger teeth, its eyes crinkling with laughter.

"I was going to the restroom. I didn't expect to see you sneaking around here as soon as I came out. I wonder what you were doing."

Her gaze slowly moved down from Xiao Rou's face, landing on the black stockings on her legs. It lingered for a second before slowly moving back to Xiao Rou's face, her smile deepening.

Xiao Rou's face flushed red.

Moonlight streamed in through the window at the end of the corridor, falling on her flushed face. The blush looked especially vibrant in the silvery moonlight, like a rose blooming in the night.

She opened her mouth, her lips trembling several times, before finally managing to squeeze out a hesitant sentence through her teeth, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"I—I came to check if Brother Mo's room was locked properly."

The little deer rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and snorted, "Hmph, I don't believe you. Keep making it up."

Xiao Rou's face turned even redder, so red it looked like it was about to bleed, burning from her cheeks all the way to the tips of her ears and the base of her neck.

She really couldn't sleep tonight, tossing and turning, her mind filled with Mo Ge's image, which she couldn't shake off no matter what she did.

After much thought, she decided to go and discuss life with Brother Mo.

She deliberately lay in bed for more than an hour, and only after Xiaolu and Xiaonan were sure that they were both asleep did she sneak out.

Unexpectedly, that brat Xiao Lu pretended to be asleep and followed me out as soon as I came out, catching me red-handed.

Xiao Rou's face turned bright red, her embarrassment and shame at being caught out.

After all, this means that the unspeakable secrets between her and Mo Ge may have been known to others.

Although this person was her best friend, Xiaorou still felt an overwhelming shyness that surged from the top of her head to her toes, and her whole body felt hot.

She kept her head down, her fingers twisting the hem of her pajamas, twisting it several times before letting it go, then twisting it again, unsure how to explain it.

Little Deer stared at her embarrassed expression, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up, revealing a knowing smile.

She leaned close to Xiaorou's ear, lowering her voice even further, with a hint of excitement and anticipation.

"This time, nobody else knows, just the two of us. Let's sneak in, and then we'll spar with Brother Mo together, how about it?"

Upon hearing the words "sparring," Xiaorou's face turned even redder, burning hot, as if the heat on her face could ignite the air.

She knew what Xiaolu meant by "sparring" and what it meant.

She originally intended to come alone, but given the current situation, she can forget about eating alone and will have to share.

Xiao Rou bit her lip, hesitated for two seconds, and then nodded gently.

"it is good."

The fawn's eyes lit up, shining like two twinkling stars in the moonlight.

Xiao Rou turned around, placed her hand on Chen Mo's door, and gently pressed it down.

The door hinges turned without making a sound.

The door was indeed unlocked.

Xiao Rou glanced back at Xiao Lu, and the two looked at each other with smiles in their eyes, like two kittens who had just stolen some cream, nervous yet excited.

Xiao Rou gently pushed open the door and slipped inside. Xiao Lu followed behind her, and the two of them tiptoed into the room.

The door closed gently behind them, shutting out the moonlight and plunging the room back into darkness.

After entering the room.

Xiaorou gently locked the door again, the lock making a soft clicking sound, to prevent a repeat of yesterday's situation.

The little deer gave her a thumbs up, a silent smile playing on its lips.

The two then turned around, and moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains.

On the bed was a tall and slender figure, none other than Chen Mo.

Xiao Rou tiptoed over, preparing to sneak over as before, then lift Mo Ge's blanket and sneak inside.

Xiao Lu gently tugged at the hem of her clothes, speaking in a very low voice, almost in a whisper.

"Wait a moment."

Xiao Rou stopped and turned to look at her.

The little deer reached into her pajama pocket and pulled out a white, gossamer-thin object, which unfolded in the moonlight.

It was a pair of white stockings.

Xiao Rou's eyes widened instantly, her pupils reflecting that white mass. Her lips parted slightly, and she whispered something in a breathy voice.

"So you were prepared all along."

The little deer hummed and smirked, its chin slightly raised, a hint of smugness on its face.

"Of course, I prepared it last night."

As she spoke, she squatted down, draped the white stockings over her knees, and prepared to put them on.

"Actually, I knew it when you came out for the second time last night. I followed you out, but I didn't expect you to lock the door from the inside. I'm so angry."

Xiao Rou's face instantly flushed.

She thought she had done it without anyone noticing, and that Xiaolu and Xiaonan were sleeping like logs.

Unexpectedly, not only did the deer know, but it also followed them out.

No wonder she timed it so perfectly tonight.

Little Deer didn't care what Xiao Rou was thinking. She had already squatted down on the ground, bent over, and put the white stockings on her toes.

The white stockings slowly rolled up from her toes, covering her jade-like toes, slender calves, and all the way up to her thighs.

The moonlight shone on the leg covered in white stockings, the thin fabric gleaming with a soft, silvery sheen, like a layer of frost.

After putting on the clothes, the little deer stood up, looked down at her legs, and nodded in satisfaction.

She looked at Xiaorou's black stockings. The two of them stood facing each other, one in black and one in white, which were particularly distinct in the moonlight.

The little deer curled up at the corners of her mouth, revealing her two little tiger teeth, and said softly, "Tonight, the two of us will be the Black and White Duo."

Xiao Rou couldn't help but laugh when she saw her smug expression.

When she smiled, her eyes curved into two crescent moons, and the blush on her cheeks had not yet faded, making her look exceptionally beautiful in the moonlight.

The two exchanged a glance, then tiptoed to either side of the bed, one on the left and one on the right.

They stood by the bed, looking through the blanket at the sleeping figure in the middle, their hearts pounding like drums.

Xiao Lu winked at Xiao Rou, and Xiao Rou nodded.

The two of them bent down at the same time, their fingers pinching the edge of the blanket, and stared at each other for the last second.

Then they simultaneously lifted the covers and crawled inside!
