White was indeed very white.
As for the stockings... that might take some effort.
Lorna rolled her eyes, pulled Blink to sit opposite Lin Luo, and introduced them to each other:
"Her name is Clarice Ferguson, nicknamed Blink. She's my best friend, no exceptions."
"Clarice, this is the man I love most. His name is Lin Luo. You don't need to get too familiar with him, just know his name is fine."
Why not get too familiar?
Lorna was afraid Lin Luo would try something with her friend!
"Uh..." Blink's blush hadn't faded yet. She hesitantly raised her head and greeted him, "You...hello..."
"Hello."
Lin Luo responded with a smile.
By his estimation, the purple-haired girl, Icey, was around eighteen years old, with a delicate face that still held a touch of youthfulness.
However, her wild purple hair added a hint of allure to that innocence.
Then he looked at little Lorna's green hair... two stunning girls with unique hair colors sitting together, forming a distinctive scenic view.
Blink saw Lin Luo's undisguised gaze. Her complexion, which had just barely calmed down, slowly flushed red again, and she gradually lowered her head.
"Lin Luo!" In a fit of exasperation, Lorna lunged, throwing herself into Lin Luo's arms, her small hands covering his 'naughty' eyes.
"You did that on purpose, didn't you!"
Lin Luo wrapped one arm around Lorna, letting her, dressed in her pajamas, fuss as she pleased. He joked, "Would you believe me if I said I was purely admiring beauty?"
He removed Lorna's hands, kissed them, and then continued, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Hmm..." Lorna nestled into Lin Luo's arm, explaining, "It's those bastards from Sentinel Services again."
"Before they came for me, they captured Clarice first."
"Although this girl wasn't as lucky as I was, she was close. She managed to escape using her powers during a moment when they were changing the electronic locks."
"Then how did she find you?" Lin Luo asked.
"Don't overthink it. I left her a message at my old place. She escaped home and immediately came here," Lorna replied.
"Hmm, one more question."
Lin Luo 'smacked' her lightly and said, "You care about her so much, why didn't you think of asking me for help?"
Lorna flinched, scratched her head, and chuckled sheepishly, "Actually, I did think about it, but you've helped me so much before, I felt embarrassed, so I thought... I thought..."
"Alright, I understand." Lin Luo kissed Lorna's forehead.
"Don't overthink things so much in the future. Saving her is just a word from me."
What was Lorna thinking?
She was thinking that after the 'stocking battle' tonight, she would ask Lin Luo to help save Blink.
Before crossing that threshold, she lacked confidence in speaking up and was afraid Lin Luo would dislike her for causing trouble.
Now it was fine; Clarice had escaped on her own. She no longer needed to initiate the 'stocking battle' with an ulterior motive and could fully enjoy the pleasure of being with Lin Luo.
"Her escape means she's still wanted. I'll have someone handle it, and then she can go to school with you. How about that?" Lin Luo said.
Sentinel Services was nothing; there was no need to use the power of MIB. As a major shareholder of Stark Industries and a major shareholder of Wayne Enterprises, any of these identities could easily handle it.
"I love you!" Lorna cupped Lin Luo's face and showered him with kisses.
"Ah? Sch...school?" Blink's face crumpled, and she weakly said, "C-can I refuse?"
"No!"
Lorna suddenly turned around, her demeanor instantly shifting from a docile woman to a queen. She declared, "You must go!"
"We rely too much on instinct to use the abilities bestowed upon us by heaven. In fact, we don't even know how great the power we possess is."
"Only knowledge can unleash our full potential. Only when we master the knowledge that matches our abilities can we truly control our own destiny!"
Lorna used to hate studying, believing that with extraordinary abilities, why bother with what ordinary people learned?
But after she tried to understand the knowledge related to her own abilities... she quickly realized her ignorance... her ability wasn't to control metal at all, but to manipulate various forms of magnetic fields!
Blink deflated at once, saying, "Al...alright, I'll follow your arrangements..."
In truth, her personality was not that of a quiet girl at all.
However, their first meeting was too bizarre, and being under someone else's roof, she had no choice but to be 'obedient'.
"Then I'll make some arrangements for you first." Lin Luo smiled, "Go to the third floor and choose a room. Once inside, don't come out tonight, no matter what sounds you hear."
"???" Blink was stunned for a moment, not understanding Lin Luo's meaning.
She didn't understand, but Lorna understood perfectly well.
She lifted Lin Luo's chin with one hand. "You bad guy, my friend is here, and you're still not behaving."
"Heh heh."
Lin Luo suddenly stood up, carrying Lorna in a bridal carry, and steadily strode upstairs while giving her a French kiss.
In a flash, only Blink was left in the living room, sitting on the sofa in a daze, small... pitiful... helpless... She hadn't eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run.
She knew very well what was about to happen in the master bedroom on the second floor.
She slowly sighed.
"Ah, lucky girl, she found a reliable man."
"Hmm..."
Blink spaced out for a while, then inadvertently glanced upstairs.
A bold idea emerged in her mind.
A slight smile played on her lips.
Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to watch a real-life 'pig run' for once?
...The next day, early morning.
As soon as his seven o'clock biological clock hit, Lin Luo immediately woke from his deep sleep.
He opened his eyes and looked at Lorna, sleeping soundly in his arms.
He gave her a small peck, then took out his phone and sent two text messages.
The first was to request a leave of absence from school.
After a wild night, Lorna had become a true woman.
In her current state, it would be a miracle if she could even stand up, let alone have the energy to go to school.
The second message was to have someone resolve Blink's trouble with Sentinel Services.
As the saying goes, if you take someone's money, you owe them. If you eat someone's food, you owe them.
He had 'eaten' his fill, so he quickly resolved the matter Lorna was worried about.
Lin Luo kissed Lorna's forehead and got up to make breakfast.
He gently opened the bedroom door.
A purple head followed the door and tumbled into the room.
Lin Luo's eyes and hands were quick; he bent down and supported Blink's shoulder.
He glanced back at Lorna, saw that she hadn't woken up, picked up Blink, and closed the bedroom door.
Blink groggily opened her eyes, and the face before her scared her half to death. After a moment of shock, she instinctively wanted to scream.
Lin Luo covered her mouth.
"I let you watch all night for free, can you be quiet now?"
"Uh..." Embarrassment showed in Blink's eyes. She shyly looked away and nodded.
Lin Luo moved his hand away, looked at her extremely flustered face, and asked, "How was my performance? Are you satisfied?"
"This..." Blink wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"I haven't experienced it, so I don't know whether to say I'm satisfied or not."
