It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

The stage lighting was much behind modern standards, but it was more than adequate for people of this era. At this moment, in the bright yellow light, the host, standing in the center of the stage, was reciting the opening lines.

"The school festival performance of the Mogster Luna Camitran Grand Magic Academy officially begins now!"

Amidst the roar of excitement, the school festival officially began. Bai Lin had the impression that events like these, often featuring artistic performances, were mostly art festivals, competitions, or displays. A school festival, as it sounded, was meant to celebrate, so why was there only one stage event?

The answer she got from Yue Lingluo was that while it was a day for students to enjoy themselves, it was also to promote the school's cultural diversity and thus establish a better image for society. After all, Bai Lin could easily guess that there must be a lot of eccentric people in this school, so arranging such a public relations event was reasonable.

Bai Lin guessed that Katie wanted to participate in this event so much because she wanted to show off her good side and build closer relationships with others.

But Bai Lin is someone who truly strives for perfection in her performances. Before going on stage, she's always anxious that her performance isn't good enough, so she mentally rehearses every detail. Because of this, Katie is certain to showcase her flawless side.

After all, Teacher Bai Lin is really strict.

The first show was held by the school's dance club. Bai Lin had been looking forward to a medieval dance style, but she was surprised by...

These girls...are dancing nm otaku dance.

Admittedly, their movements leaned more towards modern dance, and the group dance was incredibly clumsy. Their costumes were garish, yet they lacked the visual impact expected of dance attire. In Bai Lin's eyes, this was only a few notches above the average otaku dance.

The performance was over quickly, winning a lot of applause from the audience. After watching this kind of performance, Bai Lin gradually gained more confidence in his own program. This is the school's dance club, is this the level?

The second program was a play about a princess and a prince. While they didn't forget the words, the emotionally engaging lines and performances could be counted on one hand. Their performance was incredibly rushed, as if they were teetering on the brink of forgetting the words. I'm afraid they haven't practiced much. And...

The actress who played the princess seemed to be Leah. The audience still cheered politely this time, but Bai Lin gave her a low score in his heart with disdain.

Bai Lin and Katie's program was ranked third. She glanced at Katie and asked,

"Are you ready?"

"Well, I haven't forgotten what you said." Katie replied obediently.

Bai Lin was relieved now. She took a deep breath and strode out with a very calm demeanor. Under the slightly dim orange light she requested, Bai Lin was completely in the zone.

When she was a child learning dance, what impressed her most was what a dance teacher said,

"Once I'm on stage, I have to have the aura of being number one in the world!"

She had always held on to this statement, and it was probably the reason why, after a period of depression, she could still face life in another world with such confidence. Of course, when she repeated this statement to Katie, Katie couldn't help but laugh. But Katie did as she was told.

When you go on stage, you need to be confident.

Today, Bai Lin wore a white shirt with a collar and a very stylish Western-style evening gown. Her slightly shaggy bangs were pushed up a little by a hairpin, and a not-so-long braid was pulled down to one side of her face, which made her face even more beautiful.

Meticulously crafted from the inside out, she radiates even in the dim light. Some might ask if such formal attire doesn't suit this song. Of course, Bai Lin is more thoughtful.

The medieval art style wasn't simply for entertainment; it held a solemn aura. With this kind of packaging, the songs they chose would likely be more acceptable. Therefore, Bai Lin appeared in formal attire today.

Our heroine, Katie Pellow, naturally shared the same look. She wore a deep blue dress, shimmering with a star-like shimmer, evidently made of a special material. The black hem and long black straps that ran from the neckline to the legs not only defined Katie's curves, highlighting her figure, but also featured jewels and other embellishments.

Katie wore a jewel the same color as her hair on her wide neckline. Tonight, she was dignified and sophisticated, yet her youthful face shone with a touch of immaturity, like a young woman on the road to maturity, waiting to be married.

Her hand tightly gripped the megaphone. Honestly, Katie was still a little nervous. Bai Lin had reassured her, as soon as he'd seen the previous performances, saying things like, "We can easily win the Best Program Award," but it was her first time on stage, so she still felt a little apprehensive.

The number of people in the audience had already exceeded a thousand, and for Katie, it was really embarrassing. She had never seen so many people at once in her life, let alone singing in front of such a large crowd.

At this moment, Bai Lin turned his head and gave her an affirmative look. Katie also responded and entered the state with a more peaceful state of mind.

The stage, lighting, makeup, costumes, people, music—each of these elements should be interconnected, interwoven and mutually supportive to produce the best possible performance. Bai Lin personally verified and meticulously reviewed each of these elements, ensuring they achieved the most professional perfection possible.

Beyond professional expertise, the key factor is people. Emotions and mental outlook are both crucial. There's no doubt that these two are emotionally engaged. Even just standing on stage, dressed like this, they've already gained recognition from the audience.

Nowadays, not many people seem to care about Katie's eye color anymore. They're probably more often described as a perfect match made in heaven. With Bai Lin's image, it's possible he'll become the dream lover of many girls in the academy.

Chapter 336: Because of Love

Of course, Bai Lin has a very good foundation, and we all understand that.

As the initial appearance ended, the surrounding light gradually brightened, but the hue gradually shifted towards white, moving towards a cooler tone. The entire atmosphere became even more serene, and even the faces of the people on stage could not be clearly seen. The feeling of a black and white silent film spread from the stage.

Bai Lin and Katie didn't move a step, but they clenched the loudspeakers in their hands. At this moment, the music slowly began to play.

The sound of a guitar solo slowly drifted into the crowd's ears. The visual lighting gradually grew warmer. The two reappeared in the unreserved brightness, each wearing a fitting smile. Their eyes exchanged a subtle glance. Although they were performing for the audience, everyone in the audience understood that they were smiling for each other.

All things are reborn, and the breath of life is created. This is the coordination of vision and hearing. Before everyone can come out of this warm atmosphere that seems like a wedding scene, Bai Lin's voice has already sounded slowly.

“…Listen to our love back then.

Sometimes I suddenly forget that I still love you——"

The lyrics' intentions were conveyed as Bai Lin's skilled bass voice resonated. The image of the two, always separated but still tied to their love, was already firmly established in the hearts of the audience.

Katie's words followed closely, and she responded to Bai Lin with a sweet voice.

"I can no longer sing songs like that. Whenever I hear them, I blush and avoid them..."

Even though time has passed and the girl is no longer as able to sing about love as she was in her youth, she is still responding to her feelings. Although Katie's singing skills are not excellent, she is also full of emotion and releases her voice without reservation.

The first line of their alternating rendition ended with this emotional expression. There was not a single sound from the audience, as if afraid to disrupt the atmosphere. The wind stilled, the stars and moon were still, and the eyes of the world were fixed on them.

It’s a good start, and of course we need an even better climax.

"Because of love, I will not be sad easily,"

Katie held the megaphone, looked at Bai Lin, and sang like this, and Bai Lin also completely opened her singing voice, expressing everything with the simplest lyrics,

“So everything looks happy.”

She looked ahead, intending to resonate with the audience. After all, the lyrics of this part were completely explicit, and the interaction must be perfect. Katie's gaze did not linger on Bai Lin for too long. She lowered her head slightly, looking downwards, and continued singing,

"Because of love, simple growth,"

"I can still go crazy for you at any time--" Bai Lin's singing followed closely, and at the same time she stretched out a hand, as if waving her passion.

"Because of love, how can there be vicissitudes of life,"

“So we still look young.”

"Because of love, in that place,"

After singing this line, Katie's eyes gradually became blurred. She raised her head and her eyes met with Bai Lin who turned at the same time. Katie raised her megaphone to Bai Lin's mouth, and Bai Lin also leaned forward slightly, put one hand around Katie, and sang,

"There are still people wandering around there,"

“People come and go.”

The two sang in unison, their eyes communicating with each other, their manners intimate. At some point, Bai Lin had already put down her megaphone and, following this gesture, lifted Katie up like a princess, performing a twirl during the interlude. Although the dance was simple, Katie's skirt fluttered as she performed it, capturing the audience's attention.

He gently put her body down, but their hands did not separate. At this moment, goose down-like material fell from the sky, creating a unique atmosphere.

A certain red-haired woman, watching all this from the backstage, was, for some reason, transfixed. Even when her companions called out to her, she turned a deaf ear. The props in her hands fell to the ground, her nose sore and her eyes slightly moistened with envy.

"Baby, look at me, I want to be as sweet as you."

Xi Mu, who was sitting in the audience, was not wearing the school uniform he wore that day, but a dress that looked very expensive. Bai Xue, who was always dressed simply, patted her face with the back of her hand and replied briefly,

"Look carefully, stop screaming."

Indeed, the emotion and moving feelings were felt by all the audience members almost simultaneously. But there was almost no sound, as they sincerely observed the etiquette of the stands at that moment.

In this strange city in another world, Bai Lin's heart also felt a sense of belonging in this music performance. However, it was not to this land, but to Katie's side.

After the interlude, Bai Lin had already picked up her loudspeaker, and the same voice as the beginning slowly rang out.

"…Listen to the love we had back then."

"Sometimes I forget," Katie turned sideways and raised one of her hands.

"I'm still in love with you—"

Bai Lin took that hand, and their voices rang out in harmony. The Great Magic Academy was truly a vast place, as was Cameltram. The night sky of this world was also vast. But all Bai Lin needed was this small place, her own.

Just such a small beam of light on the stage can illuminate the entire night sky in her eyes.

At this moment, the two of them only had eyes for each other, each sensing the unconditional love in the other's eyes. Even the thunderous applause from the audience didn't affect them in the slightest. Amidst the cheers, Bai Lin and Katie slowly walked off the stage.

"Hmph, you're making it sound so sweet, but do you think your love can go on so smoothly for a long time...?"

Leah hugged her chest, as if she wanted to pour cold water on Bai Lin and the others, but they just walked past her without paying any attention. Her eyes were filled with shock, and she froze in place, her lips twitching slightly, as if she wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

The two left the school festival without watching the rest of the performance. As they strolled through the night, Bai Lin's mind slowly shifted from the actions on stage to a state of tension. She knew exactly what they were going to do next.

The location, naturally, was the inn they were familiar with. However, on this day, even stepping through the door of the inn made Bai Lin feel extremely heavy. Even though her steps were much slower than usual, Bai Lin still felt that in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the room.

This is where they started in this city, so perhaps they should start here too.

Sometimes you really don’t think it’s a typo, it may be a sensitive word that you didn’t expect.

Chapter 337: Not Romantic

After such a long time, the room they originally lived in had been renovated long ago. It was nighttime today, and the moment they opened the door, they were greeted by a dark scene. Katie, who walked into the room first, looked back at Bai Lin and asked,

"Why don't you come in?"

This was their first conversation after leaving the academy. Bai Lin pretended to be calm and replied,

"You're blocking the doorway right here. You have to go in a little so I can come in."

What Bai Lin said was indeed true. Katie was standing not far from the door. Once Bai Lin walked in, it would definitely be a very crowded thing. But to be honest, Bai Lin could actually pass through, but she was afraid.

She wasn't mentally prepared yet. What if Katie pressed her against the wall as soon as she entered?

After hearing Bai Lin's words, Katie didn't respond. She simply smiled mysteriously under the moonlight. Then, she reached out a hand and, with a speed Bai Lin hadn't anticipated, pulled her in. Still dazed, Bai Lin moved forward naturally, then stumbled and lost her balance.

The next moment, Katie pressed Bai Lin against the wall, just as she'd imagined. Her tongue licked Bai Lin's neck, and the tingling sensation caused her mind to go blank once again. That erotic look not only rubbed against her face, but also rubbed against her heart.

The shock in her heart was like an explosion in Bai Lin's brain, leaving behind a cloud of smoke that prevented her from regaining consciousness. The next moment, Katie's tongue, which seemed to want to devour Bai Lin completely, had already found Bai Lin's lips.

Bai Lin's pupils suddenly contracted, and she slowly regained consciousness, beginning to respond to Katie, but only passively. In this first round, Bai Lin had already been defeated.

The soft touch of her tongue seemed to last no longer than it should. Bai Lin's desire was slowly being stirred by this young girl. She gradually gained courage. In a flash, their lips parted, leaving only the thread of love connecting them.

Just as Kong said, Bai Lin mustered up her courage. She immediately stretched out her hand, wiped the corner of Katie's mouth with one hand, and removed the hand that was holding Bai Lin with the other hand. She stood up straight and asked Katie a question condescendingly,

"Why are you wearing so much, kitten?"

Hearing this, Katie's eyes seemed to blank out for a moment. Even with only the dim moonlight, Bai Lin could clearly see the blush on her face. Clearly, her attack was a complete success.

Anyway, it’s Katie’s first time too. As long as she keeps up this momentum, she’ll be able to do it!

However, Katie's distraction wasn't as long as Bai Lin's. She quickly recovered, slamming the door shut and letting a provocative smile play across her lips. Bai Lin had never seen her like this before. It was like Simon's excitement at seeing his opponent, a feeling that seemed out of place on Katie's face.

The appearance of this inappropriate expression also made Bai Lin feel a deeper sense of danger. Katie's words were also in line with the danger of her thoughts.

"Still bluffing? Well, come and help me take it off."

As she spoke, Katie stretched out her hands again, casually placing them on Bai Lin's shoulders. Katie's counterattack was also very powerful! Her arms, shoulders, and every inch of skin exposed outside the dress looked so delicate and fragile. Bai Lin's heartbeat reached its peak at this attack!

Calm down, Bai Lin, she's just bluffing. Following this suggestion, Bai Lin swallowed, her face darkened, and she slowly raised her hand. The moment she actually made this move, Katie seemed to tense up again, but before she could react, she felt the world spinning.

Just like the performance on the stage, Bai Lin easily picked up Princess Katie. She held Katie, her treasure, in her arms without any scruples and strode towards the bed.

"Of course you have to go to bed first."

For a moment, Katie didn't reply, perhaps stunned. Bai Lin quickly threw her on the bed. After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and took off her outer clothes. She skillfully untied her tie with one hand and loosened a button. She half-pressed her body on the bed and touched Katie's jaw with her fingers.

"Why, do you really want me to help you take it off? I'm afraid you'll be so tempting that I might accidentally tear your clothes to shreds."

As soon as the words came out, Bai Lin was the first to be stunned. She screamed in her heart, "What the hell am I talking about? Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" But it was obvious that this sentence was somewhat contrary to her original intention and was very offensive.

However, an attack that is too strong will be seen through immediately. Katie couldn't help laughing. She knelt down, followed Bai Lin's hand, and leaned forward, wrapping her whole body around Bai Lin's ear.

"Bai Lin, it doesn't have to be on the bed. Tonight, I'd rather walk from the windowsill to the door, and then from the door to the bed. We should try every place, don't you think?"

This flurry of fierce words was like a knife in Bai Lin's heart, and her cheeks turned even redder. There was no other way, she could only use a ruthless move! She made up her mind and flipped Katie backwards, pressing her hands on top of her, completing the upward pressure posture.

"You've been talking for so long, and you still haven't taken off your clothes. Is your skill all in talking?"

Even though she was pressed down by Bai Lin, Katie still refused to admit defeat. She just showed a satisfied smile, then smeared her lips with the tip of her tongue, teasing Bai Lin again, and continued,

"Don't you know best how good my mouth is?"

After saying this, Bai Lin also fought back against Katie from the inside, and gave in for a moment. What she said was indeed the truth. Katie's verbal skills were really amazing.

At the moment Bai Lin was lost in thought, the moonlight slowly shone in. Katie didn't seem to move. Bathed in the moonlight, Katie's eyes slowly moved from Bai Lin's collar to her cheek.

Bai Lin's gaze swept over every part of Katie's body. Her body seemed whiter than the moonlight, possessing a sacred aura. Above her solemn beauty lay the half-loosened shoulder straps, the teasing words and glances, the slightly youthful shyness, and most importantly...

It's love.

Chapter 338 A special event occurs

The soft fragrance, the smell of shyness and hormones, or perhaps a little sweat. All of these were the reasons that prompted Bai Lin to move closer to Katie. And the other party's hand slowly wrapped around Bai Lin's neck.

"What's taking so long?"

Bai Lin seemed to be asking himself, while Katie smiled slightly.

"Who knows? It wasn't me who started it."
