012. To stay with a legitimate reason
"Achoo~"
A weak sneeze sounded by the bedside.
Xinlai slowly opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling. She reached out her numb hand toward the bedside table, trying to touch the water glass and drink a sip of the cold water she had prepared beforehand to wake herself up.
But as she touched it, Xinlai suddenly felt her palm touch something warm, soft, and a little silky.
"?!"
He turned his head sharply and saw a small purple head resting against the bedside table, quiet and sweet, with a small watermelon bobbing rhythmically.
"..."
Xinlai sat up in bed and finally saw the whole picture.
Eve, who had spent the entire night out wits with the sleeping Sinley, was so exhausted that she fell asleep.
Long eyelashes covered her large, bright eyes. Her lips were slightly parted, her breathing was even, and she leaned against the headboard, still tightly gripping the dagger in her hand.
I can tell, he's really vigilant... so vigilant that he wouldn't even realize he was sleeping next to his enemy.
However, judging from Eve's sleeping appearance, Xinlai deduced that Eve probably wanted to assassinate him while he was asleep, but due to the existence of the soul contract, she hesitated for a long time and finally fell asleep.
"The soul contract works pretty well..."
Xinlai stretched and yawned, feeling that she had slept very well last night.
Just as I fell asleep, I think I had a dream where some marine creature was challenging my little brother.
The marine creature was unusually alert, and before the little guy could fully react, it had vanished without a trace.
"What the hell is all this...?"
Xinlai shook her head, got up and carefully covered Eve with the blanket that she had been covering herself with all night, before going to wash up.
However, the sound of running water still woke up the ruffled little purple cat. The moment its two amethyst-like eyes opened, it focused its attention on the blanket on its body that was still exuding male hormones.
"what!"
Eve thought she had lost her virginity while taking a nap, so she immediately jumped up from the bedside, threw off the blanket, and hurriedly checked whether the magic-blocking cloth covering her was intact.
But she clearly overestimated Xinlai's low energy level...
Not to mention the magic-blocking cloth, Xinlai didn't even touch her coat.
After realizing that nothing was wrong with her body, Eve breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the bathroom.
A broad, muscular figure was bent over, washing up behind a strange, semi-transparent screen.
The sound of flowing water and the soft carpet effectively masked the sound of Eve tiptoeing closer.
Once again, without hesitation, she launched an attack on Xinlai.
Kill Sin Lai, for freedom!
Go for it, Eve! You can do it!
She rushed in the instant Xinlai was about to get up, slashing through the screen, and a sharp dagger flashed in front of Xinlai.
"Snap"
Xinlai, who was washing up with her upper body bare and foam in her mouth, raised her left hand and casually slapped the weapon out of Eve's hand.
In Sinley's eyes, Eve, without magic, was no different from an ordinary person...
And yet, this ordinary person actually dared to try and challenge extraordinary power?
Xinlai glanced coldly at Eve, then smiled nonchalantly.
However, Xinlai did not expect that Eve had already activated her Spinosaurus form. She was really reckless and did not stop even after her dagger was knocked away. The purple figure immediately crashed into Xinlai's arms.
"puff!"
Xinlai's heterochromatic eyes widened like copper bells, and she was knocked to the ground by Eve in front of her, her back arched like a shrimp. The foam in her mouth and the homemade wooden toothbrush in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.
thump.
With a muffled thud, Xin Lai clearly noticed that the wall behind her, where her head had hit, seemed to have cracked, and a surge of inexplicable anger welled up inside her.
Those are custom-made tiles!
Eve then sat on Sinley's lap, her hands supporting Sinley's rising and falling, resilient chest, her eyes filled with shock.
Eve was either stunned by Sinley's perfect figure or her faith was shattered by the realization that she was completely unable to kill Sinley; the two stared at each other for several seconds.
Xinlai couldn't understand what Eve was thinking all day, and spoke first, somewhat angrily.
"Still lying there? Or do you want to touch me a little longer?"
Upon hearing this, Eve stiffened, her hands recoiling from Xinlai's body as if electrocuted, and she fell backward again.
"Ahhh!"
Eve panicked and lost her balance, causing the back of her head to make intimate contact with the tiled floor.
"..."
Looking at the little watermelon that completely blocked Eve's head, three red greater-than signs appeared on Xinlai's forehead, mouth to mouth. The veins on his forehead twitched slightly. He stood up, picked up Eve who was dazed and confused, her eyes still spinning.
"How come I didn't know you were such a troublemaker?"
……
a long time.
Eve had a white bandage wrapped around her head, looking like a bullied kitten. She sat on Xinlai's bed with her knees drawn up to her chest, her face dark with anger, and she didn't even dare to look up and meet Xinlai's gaze.
"You just tore my screen, smashed my walls and floor," Xinlai blurted out as she calculated.
"With your current level of productivity, you only need to work for me for twenty-two years to pay off the debt."
"Twenty-two years?!"
Eve knew she was in the wrong, so her raised voice gradually weakened, and she turned her head to the side, feeling wronged and unwilling. "Who knew you were so good..."
Eve blushed even more as she thought about the skin her fingers had just touched and the warm, firm chest muscles.
"And they're not wearing any clothes..."
Eve's murmur was very soft, but Xinlai could still hear it clearly in the quiet bedroom.
"?!"
He now really wanted to crack open Eve's head to see what the hell was inside.
"This is my bedroom! This is my castle! Whether I wear clothes or not is none of your business, right?" Xin Lai was like an enraged adult lion tearing at a pitiful little purple rabbit.
Eve glanced up at Xinlai, only to find the man glaring at her angrily. She quickly lowered her head, too afraid to speak.
Finding it like talking to a brick wall when she got angry with Eve, Xinlai sighed helplessly and started to feel sorry for herself in the bathroom.
The screen was custom-made. To express his homesickness, he had craftsmen and textile workers make a yellow cube with eyes and limbs on it, holding a net and chasing a bunch of pink jellyfish that was struggling to escape.
The tiles and walls are custom-made and waterproof, so repairs will cost at least several tens of dollars.
"My intention in saving you was to let you go," Xin Lai took a deep breath and began his performance.
"In the end, not only did you not leave, you kept trying to kill me."
"Is this how you treat your savior?!"
"I...I..."
Eve wanted to question Xinlai about why she had teleported to his bedroom, but a strange sense of shame silenced her.
Xinlai spread her hands, looking both innocent and indignant:
"Now you can't leave even if you want to." Xin Lai turned to the side and pointed to the bathroom. "You're not leaving until you've worked for me and paid off the loan!"
"Oh……"
Eve pouted, puffed out her cheeks, and refused to speak, looking just like a spoiled little brat throwing a tantrum.
She understood that what Xinlai said was true; the teleportation magic inscribed on her body was indeed to save her, and last night she had clearly stated that if she wanted to leave, she could leave, but she shouldn't dirty the carpet.
But now that she's refusing to leave and has even damaged his things, Xin has a perfectly legitimate reason to keep her here.
After thinking it over carefully, Eve felt even more aggrieved when she realized she couldn't refute what Xinlai said.
They couldn't kill him, they couldn't beat him in a fight, and they couldn't escape him...
Am I really going to become this bastard's plaything?
