Chapter 100
“Without An’an, I can’t sleep.”
When these words fell, Li An was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said, “It’s only been one night, and I’ve already become your Abebe?”
Anoska showed a confused expression, tilting her head slightly, her silver hair spilling to one side as she asked, “What’s an Abebe?”
“It’s… it’s an object that some people rely on and have to hug to sleep every day, otherwise they’ll have insomnia and anxiety.”
Hearing this, Anoska’s eyes seemed to light up. Although this metaphor was a bit abstract, after all, she already had a pair of eyes as brilliant as molten gold. Now, they were even more radiant, like the fire of a precious gem, stunning Li An.
Anoska said with sudden realization, “So that’s what it is.”
“No wonder I felt absent-minded when An’an wasn’t by my side today. I couldn’t get motivated to do anything, and I couldn’t even sleep well.”
Is it really that serious?
The pink hair standing up on Li An’s head bent, vaguely forming a question mark.
They hadn’t known each other for long, and they had only become master and servant two days ago. Now, the Saintess couldn’t live without her?
She didn’t have any succubus constitution…
Oh wait, she was a succubus.
But did succubi have this kind of ability?
To hook someone so completely without them even realizing it.
This was even more exaggerated than the book from last night. This wasn’t a succubus, this was a vixen. If every succubus was like this, the demon race would have been ruled by succubi long ago. How could Li An still be a spy? She could just pack up, become the Demon Lord, and kidnap Anoska.
Li An blinked. Before she could respond, she heard Anoska say expectantly, “Then is An’an willing to be my Abebe?”
The pink hair on her head bent even more, the tips of her hair poking her head, making Li An’s mouth open and close, unable to squeeze out a single word. Finally, her gaze fell, and she quickly said, “You come in first.”
“This floor is so cold. Why aren’t you wearing shoes? Where are the attendants who serve you?” Li An said as she looked left and right, making sure no one was peeking.
Anoska didn’t refuse and obediently walked in.
Her cool toes touched Li An’s.
Anoska muttered in a small voice, “An’an isn’t wearing any either.”
How could that be the same?
She had just been observing the ears and tail in the mirror.
Li An had a grievance she couldn’t voice. She could only pull Anoska into the room and quickly close the door like a thief.
With a “bang,” everything outside was shut out. Anoska took a step forward, and Li An retreated.
“You… you wait a minute. I’ll get you a towel. No, I’ll get you a basin of water,” Li An said incoherently, her hands unconsciously raised.
But Anoska didn’t stop.
She was clearly the one who looked relatively weaker, in a thin, white nightgown, the lace at the hem clinging to her legs, her slender ankles stained with a bit of dirt, like a pure white flower crushed by mud.
But her actions were extremely aggressive. She held a pillow and took light steps.
The room was not bright. Li An had not been able to face her tail and ears calmly before, so she had deliberately dimmed the candlelight. Now, it was just right, setting the atmosphere.
Li An retreated step by step, and Anoska advanced inch by inch.
Sweat dripped down her back. Although there was no wall, she had the feeling of being pressed against the wall by Anoska last night. Her back couldn’t help but tense, and then tense again.
“Saintess… Your Excellency the Saintess,” Li An said in a panic.
“Your Excellency.”
“You… you don’t,” Li An swallowed her dry throat, but the next second, her legs hit the wooden edge of the bed. The slightly rough feeling pricked her skin, and her muddled brain instantly cleared.
“Your Excellency the Saintess!” Li An finally shouted out a complete sentence.
But the other person had already walked in front of her, her toes against hers. The pillow she had been holding in her arms was the only barrier, like a soft, easily breakable wall between them.
Just that small, seemingly useless pillow was played with by Anoska in her hands. It could be used to feign weakness, and it could also be a barrier that could be released at any time, making the timid succubus use it as her last resort, so that she wouldn’t have weak legs and crawl under the bed.
Li An unconsciously grabbed a corner of the pillow and looked at Anoska.
The other person wasn’t too excessive at once, just said softly, “Is An’an unwilling to be my Abebe?”
Her eyes welled up with moisture, and her voice was even softer, “I’m sorry.”
Hearing this familiar phrase, Li An’s back of the head immediately tensed, and she said in a flurry, “What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Why are you apologizing again?”
“It’s not that serious, really not that serious.”
“Let’s not cry, okay? How about… how about I sing you a song about a strong, stupid woman?”
Li An quickly cleared her throat and shouted in a high-pitched voice, “No matter how winding the road is, you always walk through it with a smile…”
The foot on her toes moved, and Li An trembled in fright, saying in a panic, “You don’t have to walk, just stand there.”
She subconsciously raised her hand to block, but she grabbed the pillow again, creating a bunch of wrinkles.
Anoska lowered her head, her lower face buried in the pillow. She looked up at Li An from a low angle and said with a muffled laugh, “An’an, why are you so cute?”
Cute?
I’m about to be scared to death by you.
Li An had a stomach full of words but couldn’t say them. She could only look down at Anoska.
Anoska’s eyes curved, and she said in a small voice, “Is it really not okay?”
“But I really can’t sleep. I’m very unhappy when I don’t see An’an. I can’t even read any books.”
The hand holding the pillow loosened.
“I don’t know what an Abebe is. I’ve never had an Abebe.”
Anoska’s eyelids drooped, and a light gray shadow was cast on her eyelids, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly. Her lower face was still buried in the cotton, looking innocent and pitiful.
She muttered as if she couldn’t bear to part with it, “Abebe.”
But the next moment, she looked up at Li An and said, “It’s alright. It’s okay if I don’t have one. I can fall asleep if I try hard.”
She was already beautiful, not the overly charming and gorgeous type. Her features were holy and clean, so there was no sense of incongruity when she cried and pretended to be pitiful before. Now, she had placed herself in a lower position, making it even more impossible for people to have any suspicion or resistance.
Li An took a deep breath. As her chest rose and fell, she felt the overly soft touch of the pillow. The hand holding the corner of the pillow loosened and fell.
“Alright.”
Anoska raised her head and looked at her eagerly.
Li An couldn’t regret it even if she wanted to. She could only say with a sigh, “Alright, I promise you.”
“I promise you everything.”
“I promise you anything.”
The pillow between the two of them loosened and instantly fell to the floor.
Li An’s vision went white, and she felt a familiar softness. The other person had thrown herself into her arms.
Li An was caught off guard and immediately fell backward, bringing Anoska with her into the soft bedding.
When she opened her eyes again, Anoska was already pressing her down.
Her eyes were even brighter, reflecting Li An’s figure, joyful and excited.
“An’an.”
“Abebe.”
She called out again and again, like a child who had received a new gift. But the ever-closing distance was a constant warning to Li An that she was not as innocent as she appeared.
Their breaths intertwined, and her opening and closing silver lashes fanned up a small breeze. Li An had no way to retreat, pressed against the soft bed.
“Don’t…”
Anoska’s gaze moved down bit by bit, from her eyes to the bridge of her nose, and then to her slightly parted lips, where it stopped.
“Your Excellency,” Li An tried to move up, but her wrist was held, not allowing her to move.
The most ambiguous thing was never the first kiss, but this moment.
With the first time, the second time seemed to have been tacitly approved, like an unlocked, half-open door. The person outside was naive and eager, ready to push the door open at any time, but there was a hint of shyness, not daring to move forward.
Li An tilted her chin up, her thin lips brushing against the other’s cheek.
Anoska seemed to have gotten permission and suddenly moved down.
—Knock, knock, knock.
The sudden knock on the door startled the two of them.
Li An quickly pushed, and Anoska was immediately thrown to the other side.
Before she could catch her breath, Li An shouted in a panic, “Who is it?!”
The knocking stopped, and then a low reply came, “Your Excellency Li An, it’s me.”
She added, “Elisa.”
Recognizing the person, Li An’s expression softened slightly, and she said, “Wait a minute.”
“Alright.”
Li An didn’t hear her reply clearly. She turned her head to look at the woman next to her. Not daring to look closely, she lowered her eyes and said, “I… I’ll go get her the medicine first.”
After saying that, she got up and was about to leave.
But Anoska suddenly reached out and grabbed Li An’s collar, pulling hard.
Li An immediately leaned forward, and Anoska tilted her head up and kissed the corner of her mouth.
The kiss that had been hesitant and interrupted still fell in this way.
It was only for a moment. Before she could feel it, Anoska turned her head and dodged. The hand on her collar loosened slightly and fell to a button.
She held it between two fingers and easily unbuttoned it.
One after another, until the pajamas were open.
Li An subconsciously wanted to hide, but she was pulled back by her clothes.
“Don’t move,” Anoska’s voice was slightly deep.
Li An froze in place, her gaze unintentionally glancing at the closed door.
Anoska’s lips curled up slightly. Her hand fell on a button again, and from bottom to top, she buttoned them one by one until the last one, not only covering her collarbone, but also half of her neck.
Li An belatedly realized that she had buttoned her buttons wrong before, and Anoska had re-buttoned them for her.
Before she could say thank you, Anoska raised her hand and pushed, “Go.”
“Al-alright,” Li An didn’t dare to think too much. She mumbled a few words and hurriedly went to rummage through the cabinet, stuffing the things into a bag and quickly walking to the door.
As soon as the door was opened, the person who had been waiting for a long time respectfully said, “Your Excellency Li An.”
But Li An had no patience to respond. She just said “alright,” stuffed the things into her arms, and said in a low voice, “It’s all here.”
She was about to close the door with a backhand, but Elisa quickly took a step forward and said in a low voice, “Your Excellency Li An, I have another request.”
“What?” Li An asked quickly.
“They… they will snatch my medicine, so I’d like to ask Your Excellency Li An to help me keep some. When I finish one bottle, I’ll come to you for more,” she also knew that this was troublesome, so her expression was apologetic.
Li An suddenly understood and agreed without hesitation, “Alright, you take one bottle back first. When you’re done, you can come to me for more at any time.”
“Thank you,” Elisa said gratefully.
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can go back first,” Li An began to rush her again, pulling at the door with a backhand.
“Alright, good night, Your Excellency Li An…”
Before Elisa’s last word could fall, she saw the door close, the wooden door stopping about ten centimeters in front of her.
She didn’t feel slighted. She just rubbed her nose and muttered to herself, “Why do I feel like I smell the teacher…”
But she couldn’t investigate. After staying for a moment, she turned and left.
Back in the room, Li An, who had hurriedly closed the door, immediately turned around, her footsteps pounding as she rushed to Anoska by the bed and said, “Anoska.”
“I need to set three rules with you!”
