Chapter 106
“I… I.”
The hand on the door tightened and then loosened. Li An stammered, unable to come up with an excuse, and only said, “Why are you here?”
The person on the bed didn’t speak, just looked at Li An with a pair of innocent and resentful golden eyes.
Although she didn’t say anything, she had said everything.
It made Li An, the questioner, feel guilty, and she mumbled, “I waited for you for a long time just now. Seeing that you didn’t come, so…”
So she didn’t finish, and the other person didn’t ask. She reached out to lift the blanket.
Li An was so scared that she took a step back, and only then did she see that Anoska had changed from lying down to kneeling.
She inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, and then belatedly realized.
What am I so nervous about?
Like a person who went out to fool around and was caught red-handed by his wife.
As soon as this thought popped up, Li An quickly shook her head and suppressed it all.
What wife?!
Anoska is the Saintess, her master. How can a servant have designs on her master?
Just hearing it is enough to get you drowned in a pig cage.
Li An quickly shook her head again, her hand on the door tightening and tightening, reciting the words “drowned in a pig cage” forwards and backwards.
Besides, she was a succubus…
A succubus’s Saintess wife?
Li An gasped. Shaking her head was no longer useful. She wished she could just throw her head into a washing machine and spin it for thirty minutes before coming out.
What wife?
Her Excellency the Saintess is the master, and you are the servant, a little spy who could be discovered at any time. You can’t even think about such a thing.
Li An did a lot of mental construction for herself. She raised her head and looked forward.
The other person was kneeling obediently on the thin blanket. The hastily made long-sleeved pajamas didn’t fit well. Every time she bent her arms and legs, the fabric would pull up, revealing a section of her slender, fair wrists and ankles.
And, because it was summer, she had only buttoned half of her buttons, and her collarbone was faintly visible, flushed red from the heat.
It looked very stuffy, but she still obediently followed the rules Li An had set.
The firmness she had just consolidated immediately collapsed by half.
Li An bit the tip of her tongue, trying to make herself continue to be cold and hard, but when she looked up, her gaze fell on Anoska again.
Her drooping silver hair was like satin draped over her shoulders. Her cold and holy face always showed a hint of naive ignorance when she faced Li An. It was no wonder Li An saw her as her daughter.
The other person’s eyelids drooped, and she explained even more pitifully, “I had something to do before. I was dealing with it, and I came to find An’an as soon as I was done.”
Her hand on her knee tightened, pressing down on the messy marks, and she said, “I was obedient. I changed into long sleeves, and no one saw me when I came.”
She said this pitifully. Although she didn’t deliberately pretend to be miserable, when Li An thought of Her Excellency the Saintess, who was high and mighty during the day and admired by thousands, now sneaking into her room like her secret lover.
So what if I’m drowned in a pig cage? It’s only painful for a little while.
Li An immediately closed the door and said as she walked in, “I just couldn’t wait for you, so I went out for a walk.”
The Saintess knelt upright and said in self-criticism, “I was too slow.”
There was no need for any more explanations. Li An walked to the bed, and Anoska very smoothly raised her hand and grabbed the hem of Li An’s clothes.
“Are you tired of kneeling? Do you want to lie down?” Li An immediately asked.
Anoska shook her head and leaned her head against Li An. This had happened before, so Li An thought that Anoska was tired and wanted to rest on her for a while. So she subconsciously took a step forward to make her more comfortable.
But the next second, she heard Anoska suddenly say, “An’an smells like someone else.”
What smell?!
Li An was so scared that she froze, and a cold sweat broke out.
And that person didn’t stop, sniffing around Li An, her brow furrowing tighter and tighter.
Li An quickly pushed her away and said in a flurry, “What other person’s smell? It’s probably the smell of a passerby that I picked up when I went out before.”
“Then… then I’ll go take a shower and come back after I’m clean.”
Before she could finish, she lifted her foot to leave, but Anoska grabbed her wrist first and pulled her to her side.
Li An was unprepared and was pulled directly to the bed, crashing into the soft bedding. Suddenly, Anoska straddled her waist and pressed down on her.
“You…” Li An struggled.
But Anoska said coldly, “Don’t move.”
The person who had always been well-behaved and gentle was suddenly like this. Li An was immediately frozen, allowing the other person to press down on her, sniffing from her cheek down, bit by bit.
Even her breathing slowed, and a cold sweat unconsciously broke out.
Anoska’s drooping hair brushed against her cheek, and her breath fell on her ear. The tingling sensation that she had always been unable to bear now made Li An’s heart beat faster and faster.
“Your Excellency…” she said with difficulty.
But the other person ignored her, her hand on Li An’s wrist tightening and tightening, like a shackle that was closing in step by step.
From her cheek to her neck, the other person sniffed carefully. Her legs, which were pressed against her, moved down bit by bit, and a fine sweat broke out where they were touching, which was a little sticky and uncomfortable.
“Anoska,” Li An gritted her teeth and said.
But the other person didn’t respond. The tip of her nose stopped at her shoulder, and she suddenly sniffed a few times, and then she didn’t move.
Did that person pat my shoulder just now?
Li An quickly tried to recall, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but complain. Why didn’t the system say that Anoska has a dog’s nose?
Before she could think any further, she felt a hot tear fall on her shoulder.
All her thoughts were dispelled, leaving only a sense of panic and anxiety.
“Saintess? Your Excellency the Saintess?!”
“Anoska, are you crying?”
She quickly said, and at the same time, she tried to use her left hand, which was not being held down, to push Anoska away, wanting to see her face.
But she was misunderstood by the other person, who instead hugged Li An even tighter, her tears falling more and more, pattering down.
A crying accusation also sounded, “An’an.”
“An’an is a liar.”
“A big liar.”
Li An was panicked and couldn’t push her away. She could only say repeatedly, “Don’t cry first. Get up a little.”
The other person didn’t know if she had heard, but she cried fiercely and accused again, “Liar.”
Her voice was aggrieved and pitiful, like a sad little dog who had seen its master flirting and couldn’t stop it, and could only cry.
“You’re bad.”
Seeing that she couldn’t push her away, Li An simply hugged Anoska tightly with a backhand and agreed, “I’m bad.”
“You bullied me, that’s why I’m crying,” the other person cried fiercely, and now even her nasal voice came out, and her words became muffled.
“You’re super bad.”
“Yes, yes, I’m super bad,” Li An quickly nodded.
Tears fell like rain, soaking her shoulder and accumulating a pool of salty water in her collarbone.
“You’re too much.”
Anoska was fierce, but she only had a few words. The more she shouted, the more aggrieved she became. It was unknown who she was being fierce to. Anyway, Li An didn’t feel any threat at all and instead kept repeating after her.
“Alright, alright, I’m too much, I’m the most too much.”
“You’re especially bad.”
“Yes, yes, I’m especially bad.”
Anoska couldn’t stop crying. The smell of her tears covered everything else, and she used this method to erase the smell of others.
“An’an is a big bad guy.”
Li An nodded, “Alright, I’m a big bad guy.”
“You secretly went out to see someone else.”
This she couldn’t agree to. Li An quickly shook her head, “That’s really not true.”
She secretly added in her heart, I didn’t want to see them in the first place. They were the ones who followed me.
Li An agreed, and Anoska was aggrieved. Li An retorted, and Anoska was even more aggrieved. She lay on Li An and cried even more fiercely. Her thin body trembled from crying. Without the repeated accusations, she was even more heartbreaking.
The hand that had been holding her slowly loosened, giving Li An a chance to hug her. Even through the thin cloth, she could feel the heat of her skin. After her fingertips rose and fell, she finally got close.
“Don’t cry anymore, Anoska,” she said in a low voice, her hand gently stroking the other’s back.
“It’s not what you think.”
The other person didn’t know if she had heard, but she mumbled again, “An’an is bad.”
“An’an is a liar.”
Just as Li An was about to agree, she heard Anoska mumble, “An’an is mine.”
The mouth that had just opened was stuck back together, and her hand patted her back lightly.
But the other person was relentless and said again, “An’an is mine.”
Tears soaked the fabric of her shoulder, and the breath she was breathing was surprisingly hot, constantly hitting Li An, making it impossible for her to ignore.
“Anoska.”
She moved her body and called out in a low voice, “Anoska, can you sit up?”
“I’ll explain to you.”
“No,” the other person said in a fit of pique. Not only did she not let go, but she hugged her even tighter, and like a child declaring her sovereignty, she said word by word, “An’an is mine. I hate it when others touch An’an.”
Her crying was muffled, and people always ignored the paranoia in it, treating it as a child’s tantrum.
Li An patted her shoulder and could only coax, “I wasn’t touched by anyone else. It was just one person who patted my shoulder and let go immediately.”
Finally hearing Li An’s serious explanation, Anoska mumbled two words, “He’s bad.”
Then, she didn’t speak again, as if she was waiting for Li An to explain.
The problem that she had thought she could hide and escape from was now brought up by Li An herself.
“It was just a passerby. He asked me a few questions and then left.”
Hearing this explanation, Anoska didn’t know if she believed it or not. She just hugged Li An even tighter and hummed, “I hate it when others touch An’an.”
“An’an is mine.”
“Alright, alright, I’m yours,” in the end, it was Li An who compromised. She didn’t say anything about letting Anoska get up, and her tone changed as she said reproachfully, “Crybaby.”
Anoska moved, as if she was about to refute, but when she heard Li An’s next sentence, she was suddenly stunned.
“Alright, alright, don’t cry anymore. Mommy will hold baby, okay?”
Anoska was clearly stiff.
Mo… mmy?
What is Li An calling herself?
Does mommy mean mother?
Anoska was rarely at a loss and didn’t know how to react.
But the other person seemed to have directly adapted to this new identity and continued without a pause, “Alright, baby, don’t cry, don’t cry.”
“Mommy will coax baby, okay?”
“Mommy will hold baby.”
The overly kind voice fell on her ear, and Anoska’s tears welled up in her eyes, but she couldn’t let them fall.
And in the other room.
The previous Knight Commander sat on a chair and looked up, “What did Her Excellency the Saintess say to you?”
The woman standing in front of him didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she showed a fanatical look of admiration and said with determination, “I will follow Her Excellency the Saintess to the death.”
The Knight Commander frowned slightly and emphasized again, “I’m asking you, what did Her Excellency the Saintess say to you?”
This person answered irrelevantly and continued, “Her Excellency the Saintess is indeed the successor chosen by the six-winged angel Michael, the judge. Although she is not old, she is just and strict, and she uses both kindness and authority.”
The words scattered into the air and were blown by the wind into a room not far away.
Anoska was held in Li An’s arms and was patted lightly again, coaxed, “Alright, baby, mommy knows you’re wronged. Don’t cry anymore, okay?”
