Chapter 64:
When the wooden ruler came down, the little octopus subconsciously hugged herself, her eight tentacles wrapped into a ball, trembling.
With a thwack, the little octopus trembled even more, her mind a blank.
She couldn’t believe that Ji Yulin would hit her so hard, the sound so loud. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes, hovering on the verge of falling. It was only a second later that she realized there was no pain.
Li An was stunned for a moment and dazedly lifted her head.
The wooden ruler had hit the edge of the table. She didn’t know how much force had been used, but it was slightly bent.
The little octopus blinked, looked at Ji Yulin’s gloomy face, then at the wooden ruler, at Ji Yulin, and then at the wooden ruler. After going back and forth twice, a tentacle pulled, and she frantically pressed against Ji Yulin’s wrist.
Human, cuddle.
Human, scared.
Human, does your hand hurt? I’ll rub it for you.
A tentacle quickly pressed against her wrist and, in a few moments, began to knead. That wasn’t enough. Her round head also rubbed back and forth, taking her fawning to the extreme.
Ji Yulin lowered her eyes and looked at her.
She couldn’t not discipline her. This creature was becoming more and more lawless. In her previous life, although she was malicious, she at least knew her limits. Now she was spoiled rotten and dared to be so reckless in the street. If she didn’t discipline her, she didn’t know what she would do in the future.
Her sweet voice came one after another, one moment calling “human,” the next calling “Mama,” and she had used all her coquettish skills, afraid that Ji Yulin would hit her.
Ji Yulin pressed her lips together, and in the end, her heart softened. Her voice softened a little, and she said, “Stand up straight first.”
The little octopus’s tentacles loosened, and she immediately stood up straight, her chubby head held high, her reddish eyes staring at Ji Yulin.
Just acting pitiful was not enough. Now she had also learned to be fragile while pretending to be strong. Paired with her maid outfit, an uninformed person would have thought she was a black slave, now being punished by an unreasonable master.
Ji Yulin was silent for a moment. She diligently extended her tentacles, hooked a nearby chair, and dragged it behind Ji Yulin.
Her tentacles were still swaying, fanning out a cool breeze.
The moment Ji Yulin sat down, she knelt down with a thwack, intentionally or unintentionally revealing the part that had been pressed on the table. Perhaps because the wooden table was rough and hard, it had rubbed a little red.
The temper that had been accumulating was now more than half gone.
Ji Yulin paused for a moment and just said, “Hand.”
Li An timidly extended a tentacle.
The white and tender underside of the tentacle, the peach-pink suckers, and the tip of the tentacle were curled into a small ball.
She knew this creature was playing tricks, but Ji Yulin still couldn’t get angry. The wooden ruler patted the tentacle, and she said in a low voice, “What did you do wrong?”
The little octopus blinked, her voice even weaker, I shouldn’t have been jealous…
Before she could finish, she was hit with another ruler, a little heavier than before.
The little octopus subconsciously shrank her tentacles, and when she reacted, she obediently spread them out.
Her eyes darted around, and she said, I shouldn’t have been, been jealous.
The moment she finished speaking, she immediately looked at the wooden ruler, nervous and scared. The tentacles on the table were tightly curled into a ball.
Ji Yulin was actually amused. She flicked her head with her finger and said, both angry and amused, “You’re also afraid? You did it even though you knew it was wrong?”
The little octopus took the opportunity to hook her fingertip and pleaded, “Mama, I was wrong.”
It wasn’t over yet. After Ji Yulin withdrew her hand, she signaled for her to extend another tentacle.
The wooden ruler fell again.
The little octopus was even more obedient this time, her watery eyes staring at Ji Yulin.
Ji Yulin asked unhurriedly, “And?”
The little octopus thought for a moment and said, I was making a fuss in the wrong place.
Didn’t she understand?
Ji Yulin glanced at her, and everything was said without words.
The little octopus chuckled and was about to pull at Ji Yulin, but she was dodged by this person and immediately said, “Next.”
The little octopus’s face fell, and she miserably held up another one.
“What if you do it again?”
Not only did she have to let her child know that she was wrong, but she also had to make her not make the same mistake again.
Li An’s head was drooped, and she said listlessly, “I’ll be punished.”
“How will you be punished?”
The little octopus paused for a moment, and a sly look flashed in her eyes. In the next second, she saw Ji Yulin’s serious expression, and that little thought was extinguished. She said unwillingly, Spank, spank my butt.
Ji Yulin raised an eyebrow and asked the previous question in return, “Where is an octopus’s butt?”
The little octopus blinked, and with a flop of her tentacles, she directly stuck her back up.
Ji Yulin waved her hand, and it was a ruler.
This actually hurt a little more than the tentacles. The little octopus hummed twice but didn’t dare to be a rascal.
The remaining tentacles were not spared, and the sound of thwack thwack was constant.
The little octopus was beaten until she was listless, and she lay there like a useless person.
After putting down the wooden ruler, Ji Yulin reached out and rubbed her, from the tips of her tentacles to her tail, her technique more professional than Li An’s previous fawning.
She was the one who had hit her, and she was also the one who felt sorry for her. While rubbing, she also had to reason, “You can be jealous, but next time, pay attention to the place.”
The little octopus nodded sullenly.
“You don’t like Qi Fu calling me ‘sister,’ but the situation is special now. After this is over, I’ll make it clear to her, and I’ll avoid it in the future.”
The little octopus lifted her tentacles and said “hmm” again.
Ji Yulin emphasized again, “It’s not that you can’t be jealous, but you can’t be jealous for no reason.”
Before Li An could agree, she heard Ji Yulin say, “Repeat what I just said.”
Li An obediently repeated, and in the middle, she didn’t forget to switch a tentacle for Ji Yulin to rub, and called out coquettishly, Sister, it hurts.
The name had changed to something else, and she didn’t know what she was being awkward about.
Ji Yulin glanced at her, didn’t speak, and continued to rub her.
One tentacle was being held, but the other tentacles were not idle. They hooked Ji Yulin’s wrist and climbed up her pale skin.
Perhaps because her skin color was like this, even after being out for a long time, there was not much change. Only when the suckers contracted did a watery blush appear.
Because the tentacle was pushing forward, the long sleeve was also piled up, and the pulse under her thin skin could be faintly felt.
The little octopus was not too outrageous. At first, she just circled her forearm.
But at some point, a tentacle drooped down and landed on Ji Yulin’s leg.
These past two days, because it was inconvenient in the car, and with Qi Fu there, the two of them had been very restrained. Only when Li An would occasionally lie on Ji Yulin’s shoulder and pretend to turn her head could she press against the corner of Ji Yulin’s lips.
Now that she had been punished and had been reasoned with, what about the reward?
A tentacle hooked her thigh and silently tightened.
The mischievous creature, before Ji Yulin could react, hummed twice, It hurts here, it hurts so much here.
The woman was indeed fooled and rubbed her even more meticulously, completely ignoring everything else.
It hurts, it hurts.
It hurt so much just now.
Li An spoke at this time, her coquettish and wronged tone complaining about Ji Yulin’s outrageousness.
The hand that had just loosened paused, and the kneading of the tentacles continued.
The room was still stuffy. It was really like there was a volcano next to it, emitting heat. Even with the concrete walls, it felt unusually stuffy, which made one feel annoyed, and in a short moment, they would break out in a hot sweat.
She didn’t know how the people here had lived for so long.
Fortunately, the drooping tentacles were cool and obediently pressed against her. In the hot weather, it was particularly clear and could not be ignored. She found herself torn between breaking free and getting closer.
Ji Yulin, you’re so hot.
The little octopus mumbled.
Although she had been covered by a black robe before, it really didn’t do much. Now, after hiding in the house for a long time, she just felt that her eyes and ears were not so misty anymore.
If it weren’t for the little octopus, Ji Yulin would probably be in the bathroom now.
And perhaps because she was a sea creature, even at this moment, the octopus was still cool and had not been changed by the weather at all. So when she was pressed against her, she just felt comfortable.
To give Ji Yulin a more comfortable experience.
The drooping tentacle was replaced by another, the one covered in scales. It was even colder than before.
Ji Yulin’s hand paused for a moment.
And the creature was still fawning, and said obediently, I’ll rub it for Mama too. You must be very tired after walking for so long.
Before Ji Yulin could agree, a tentacle had already wrapped around her. The slightly raised scales were a little prickly, but they were even colder. As she moved, she pressed in deeper, and finally stuck to her completely.
Ji Yulin’s breathing grew heavy. The hand that had stopped in her sensation was also grabbed by a tentacle.
Rub it, Mama.
Pain.
Ji Yulin, who had just been hit so lightly, knew best herself. How could she be deceived by Li An’s clumsy acting?
But the moment the other acted coquettishly, Ji Yulin’s heart softened.
A tentacle was held again, and she kneaded it with a little force.
The drooping tentacle also learned from her, and after pressing down, she carefully kneaded it.
The same force, the same speed.
Ji Yulin wanted to retreat but was held by a tentacle, and a pitiful voice sounded.
Mama.
Ji Yulin grabbed the tentacle, and the tentacle also pressed against her.
“Don’t,” her clear voice trembled, and she couldn’t even finish her protest.
Mama.
A tentacle had already hooked her long pants and, without hesitation, pulled them down.
Mama, little octopus will rub it for you.
It’s very cool.
Before Ji Yulin could react, a tentacle hooked her knuckle, and she pleaded pitifully, It still hurts.
Her consciousness was pulled, and Ji Yulin barely squeezed out a bit of reason and forced herself to say, “Liar.”
She’s getting more and more malicious. She was just educated, and now she’s starting to be bad.
The little octopus blinked, her voice innocent, I’m not outside now.
It really hurts.
“Liar,” Ji Yulin said by instinct.
The little octopus’s expression fell, and she mumbled unwillingly, I’m not a liar. It really hurts.
Ji Yulin looked up at her, her black-framed eyes red, her obsidian-like, cold pupils now clear and rippling with a watery light.
A hovering tentacle couldn’t help but get closer, then suddenly stopped. Then it eagerly hooked the wooden ruler and went into the bathroom. After the sound of water, she didn’t even have time to dry it before she pressed against her again.
It really hurts.
She complained unwillingly.
Ji Yulin was too lazy to bother with her. The creature didn’t stop and hummed, “Mama, try it.”
Try what?
Ji Yulin was rarely slow.
But in the next second, she knew. The ruler came down, perfectly imitating her previous force, and made a watery sound.
Ji Yulin stiffened, a look of disbelief on her face. Just as she was about to scold her, she was interrupted by a tentacle probing in. The sudden sensation made her almost lean back. Fortunately, a tentacle was grabbed, and she was saved from the risk of falling.
But the one who had caused her to be like this was also Li An.
A scaled tentacle went in deeper, and the slight stinging and cold sensation grew stronger. She could even feel the residual water, which, along with the tentacle, created a pleasant and unbearable sensation.
In the next second, the wooden ruler fell again.
The sound of water was even louder than before.
A low chuckle was heard, mischievous and smug.
As if to say, Mama, you also like to be hit, right?
Ji Yulin didn’t like it, but she couldn’t break free.
It was as if she had been placed on the edge of a cliff by Li An, and her advance and retreat were all at Li An’s mercy. And Ji Yulin could only hover between the two feelings.
Her half-closed eyes, her vision was even more blurry. She could only see the familiar black and white skirt, as hateful as before.
She knew that nothing good would happen after Li An put on this dress.
The creature was still humming, You were so fierce just now. The ruler was even crooked.
It didn’t hit you.
Ji Yulin wanted to glare at her, but her rippling eyes were even more charming. Not only did they not have any threat, but they also made the little octopus even more outrageous.
A tentacle went up. Although there was a softer bottom, she deliberately used the scales to press against it and gently scrape it.
The ruler also did not stop, and in cooperation with the tentacle inside, pleasure and pain appeared at the same time, and the sound of water was constant.
And a footstep was approaching the door. It was Qi Fu knocking, and she called out, “What’s wrong? Did something fall just now?”
She should have heard the sound of Ji Yulin hitting the table with the wooden ruler and had specially come to ask.
Qi Fu waited for a while. Seeing no response from inside, she repeated in a loud voice.
Ji Yulin bit her lower lip and reached out, wanting to grab the tentacle, but her other tentacle was held up by a tentacle, and she gently pried open her closed lips and then patted her, signaling for her to speak.
But the other tentacles did not stop. She didn’t know why, but after being covered for so long, the scaled tentacle was still as cold as ice, getting colder and colder. But the place where the wooden ruler hit was scorching hot, and as time went on, the feeling of ice and fire became clearer.
—Knock, knock knock.
“Sister?”
Qi Fu, outside, was obviously a little anxious, worried that something had happened to them.
And the tentacle on her cheek patted Ji Yulin again, urging her to speak.
There was no other way. The little octopus couldn’t speak and could only rely on Professor Ji.
Ji Yulin took a deep breath. Just as she was about to speak, the wooden ruler came down, and she almost couldn’t stop it. She could only glare at Li An with resentment.
The little octopus looked at her in a fawning manner. A tentacle was gentle and soft, hooking a fallen strand of hair by her temple and carefully tucking it behind her ear.
It was still the same. She was unhesitating when she did bad things, and when Ji Yulin was angry, she would immediately act cute.
Ji Yulin gritted her teeth and tried to raise her voice in response, “It’s nothing.”
Qi Fu, outside, was about to break down the door. Hearing this, she let out a slight sigh of relief.
If she were still in the Thirteenth District, she wouldn’t be so anxious. But now, she was in an unfamiliar place, and there were unknown pursuers. She couldn’t help but be more vigilant than before.
Qi Fu scratched her head and said, “Alright, then. If you need anything, remember to call me.”
In the next second, she thought of something else and said in a loud voice, “Are you tired? How about we go for a walk? I want to look around.”
Her idea was not wrong, but Ji Yulin was now entangled with another creature.
It seemed that because of that one name, Li An had started to make a fuss again. Her tentacles were deeper, and even the force of the wooden ruler was heavier.
A water mark spread on the wooden chair, deepening the original wood color. Her drooping long pants became a new shackle, fixing her legs at a fixed distance, with no escape, no hiding, and she could only be held tighter by the tentacles.
Qi Fu scratched her head and called out again, “Sister?”
Sister~
The little octopus followed, her movements deeper, and the scales were also lifted, bringing a deeper sensation.
Ji Yulin had no strength to bother with her. She raised her voice and forced herself to be calm, “I have something to do. You can go for a walk on your own.”
Qi Fu said “oh” and didn’t think much of it, and directly agreed.
With the sound of the door, the footsteps disappeared.
Suddenly, a wind blew, and the thin gauze curtain was blown, the scattered sunlight was kneaded into fine and chaotic spots of light, which fell on Ji Yulin, and on her pale skin, a butterfly pattern was reflected. With each breath, her voice was lower and hoarser.
Her bent legs were trembling. She was about to fall several times but was forcibly held up by a tentacle. So she could only lean back, and her scattered hair fell down, like a drooping vine, constantly swaying in the wind.
The wooden ruler fell again.
This time, it paused for a long time, and the water mark on the wooden chair was deeper.
Although it was not raining, it was as if it had been in a heavy rain.
Ji Yulin struggled out of the blankness, wanted to retreat but was held.
One “sister” after another appeared again.
This time, she would not be let off so easily.
The sunlight outside was still there. It had not softened with the passage of time and was still dazzlingly bright.
Qi Fu was walking among the crowd. The smell of sweat and a slight smell of decay were mixed together. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the people at the small stall fighting.
When she had first entered the city, she had found it novel and had stopped not far away to listen for a while. But after seeing such things more often, she found it boring.
It was just that your stall was a little bigger today, and you sold more today, and I was jealous and wanted to find trouble with you.
Qi Fu walked and stopped, seemingly aimlessly, but not a single piece of news was missed. In the conversations of the people, she barely understood the whole picture of this city.
But it was also because of this that the more she listened, the deeper she went. She dazedly wandered into a small alley. Suddenly, a hand reached out and pressed her against a corner.
“You!”
Before a sound could be made, her mouth was covered. In the struggle, her sleeve was pulled, revealing a section of wheat-colored skin.
Qi Fu’s eyes suddenly widened.
And on the other side, Ji Yulin suddenly grabbed the little octopus’s tentacles, her voice suddenly cold and hard, “Something has happened to Qi Fu.”
