Chapter 105: Extra 7
Situ Jin felt that this was not right.
Early in the morning.
Situ Jin, who had been disturbed by the presence of the person next to her and had been insomniac for half the night, and had finally fallen asleep, was woken up on time by her biological clock. She opened her eyes and looked at the blue and white sky oil painting on the ceiling, and then felt a ball of softness held in her palm.
She thought in silence.
There must be something wrong with this world.
And after she had woken up, Xuan Zhu, who had been sleeping in her arms, had very relaxedly moved her body closer to her, and then had slowly opened her eyes, her deep blue eyes filled with the haze of first waking.
Her eyelashes trembled lightly.
As she looked up at Situ Jin, she also tightened the arms that had been holding her, and rubbed against her shoulder with attachment, calling her in a low voice, “Sisi? Morning?”
Situ Jin: “…”
She didn’t even have time to care about the new nickname she had gotten overnight.
Her tongue pressed against her upper palate, and she was still in a state of her brain being down. Situ Jin didn’t quite understand how she had done it. Although she was lying flat, she was able to have one arm held by the mermaid, and the other arm had to cross her body to take advantage of the other.
Is this her sleeping posture when she sleeps with others?
It was a good thing she had never slept in the same bed with her friends when they went out to play before, otherwise it would be very difficult to explain.
But then again.
When Yaoyao was with Lin Ran before, did she live such a divine life?
Is being a lesbian so good?
…
“Sisi?”
Finding that Situ Jin was staring at the ceiling in a daze, Xuan Zhu called her again in confusion, and even propped herself up, wanting to come over and see her.
The other’s action directly jolted Situ Jin back to reality. She quickly moved her palm from the place where it shouldn’t have been, and her eyes moved slightly, and she saw a flash of silver fall.
Like a hanging white jade curtain.
It surrounded them from all directions, and in the very center, she could only crash into those eyes that were as vast as the sea.
Surrounded by Xuan Zhu’s long, silver, curly hair, Miss Situ’s pupils shrank as her gaze could only meet hers. A moment later, she maintained her usual calm tone:
“Morning.”
Her peripheral vision had long since caught a glimpse of the quilt that had slipped off Xuan Zhu when she had gotten up.
The mermaid, who had been properly wearing a bathrobe before she went to bed last night, had no idea where she had thrown that cumbersome cloth. She had slept comfortably in Situ Jin’s room’s hand-embroidered silk quilt for a whole night.
And she didn’t even have a look of being taken advantage of. Hearing Situ Jin’s reply, her eyes curved, and as if she had thought of something, she moved her chest closer to her and asked in a very low voice:
“Like? Pet?”
Situ Jin: “!”
She rarely retreated in a fluster, her pupils quaking. “No need!” I have them too!
Just as she said the answer, she saw the silver-haired woman’s eyes quickly dim, and the whole fish was like a faded rose.
Her expression was subtle for a moment. She raised her hand and pressed her head, sat up and lifted the quilt over Xuan Zhu, covering the rising peaks under her collarbones. Then she pressed her temples and said to her, “You can’t do this.”
“You can’t just invite others to touch your body. It’s not good for you, you know?”
Xuan Zhu blinked. Although she was obediently covered by the quilt, and even cooperatively hid the lower half of her face under her nose, she still slowly answered through the silk quilt:
“You’re not others.”
Of course she didn’t like to be approached by others.
She didn’t like the way those people looked at her, whether it was with amazement, regret, or other more malicious gazes.
But Situ Jin was different.
She liked her warmth, liked the way she looked at her, and also liked the way she coaxed her. In short, she just liked this person very much, and wanted to cuddle and hug her every moment!
Situ Jin realized that she had developed an excessive attachment to her.
Just like a baby born from its swaddling clothes, it is particularly attached to its mother.
And now, the mermaid, whose situation was special, was said to be different from Hua Yu and the others. There were no other extra voices in her body. Her instincts still retained the part of her that was human, which was phototactic and wanted to get close to warmth, so she would be easily attracted by this person who had first released a friendly signal.
In fact, she could have just let her be—
Because at first, what Situ Jin wanted was just a loyal, useful knife.
But all this changed after she had seen Xuan Zhu’s file. Perhaps it was because she was too young and had not experienced any bloody storms in her life, and had not been too tainted by the world of fame and fortune, so her heart was not hard enough.
Or perhaps.
It was because in the process of taming the other, the patience and emotion she had put in had far exceeded her initial plans.
Now she hoped even more that Xuan Zhu could adapt to her new identity, adapt to this new power, and then grow to be stronger than before, and would no longer be easily bullied by others.
The next night, she sternly refused Xuan Zhu’s request to stay over.
The only choices left for the other were to go back to the pool to rest, or to go to the guest room left by the butler.
The silver-haired woman, who had been refused at the door, her head drooped, and her deep blue eyes looked as if they were about to shatter.
Especially tonight, when Situ Jin had specially lent her an unopened, glossy silk nightdress. Under the spotlights in the corridor, the person outside the door looked even more like she had returned to her fish state, with a stubborn look of preferring to dry up on the shore, watching her scales lose their luster one by one, rather than returning to the water.
Situ Jin closed the door.
When she turned around, her eyes were clear, and she was not sleepy at all.
She didn’t know if what she was doing was right, or if, in fact, she was also like the person who had hurt this little girl before, but her harm was done under the banner of doing good for the other.
Realizing that she had suddenly had the mental journey of being a mother in a short period of time, Situ Jin was insomniac again. Although she had only slept in the same bed with that cold body for one night, now that she was sleeping alone in this big bed, she actually felt it was too empty.
She forced herself to close her eyes.
And decided to make an appointment with the best psychologist the next day, to blur some of Xuan Zhu’s stories, and to listen to the advice of a professional, to see how to let the other re-form a normal worldview and independent personality, and to live a good life.
And then to jointly formulate a normal life plan.
If her expression tonight was wrong, then she would apologize to Xuan Zhu tomorrow.
Miss Situ, who had finally calmed down, finally found a hint of sleepiness before dawn.
…
The villa area was on the halfway up Nanshan. It was unknown when it had started to rain.
The autumn wind was howling, and it blew open the window that Situ Jin had not closed before she went to bed. She, who had been insomniac for two consecutive nights, was not very willing to open her eyes.
Until the window made a very light “creak” sound.
She frowned in annoyance, and was about to get up and close the window with her eyes closed when she suddenly realized that something was wrong—
The window in her room had just been repaired last month. As long as it wasn’t a typhoon or a windy day, it was impossible for it to make this kind of sound. And this “creak creak” sound was swaying back and forth, as if something were hanging on it and swinging back and forth.
The moment Situ Jin opened her eyes, she heard a loud bang.
The door to her room was broken open, and the rainwater from outside the window was condensed into sharp water arrows, which smashed the monster that had been bred in someone’s house in the villa area, along with the window.
The sound of a flower bed shattering came from the first floor.
At the same time, a silver dark light flashed past her, and also quickly passed through the window, and disappeared in the room.
In the wind that blew through the hall, she suddenly woke up and sat up. “Xuan Zhu!”
Situ Jin rushed from the bed to the window. At this moment, she could barely, with the faint light of dawn, see clearly the silver-haired mermaid standing in the rain below, and the struggling figure trapped in another transparent water prison.
The servants in the villa were all woken up. Even the area where her parents lived upstairs also had the sound of getting up. The butler had already rushed to the door of Situ Jin’s room.
“Miss? Are you alright?”
Situ Jin waved her hand without looking back, looking at the gardenia bush in the flower bed downstairs, thinking about whether she should jump down, and at the same time replied, “Have the people my dad keeps go and help Xuan Zhu. A monster has sneaked in. Tell them to be careful, and not to act alone. There might be some left around.”
The butler immediately replied, and didn’t forget to remind her, “Please be careful.”
“I know you’re very worried about that… that mermaid lady, but this is a monster’s battlefield after all. You still have to act within your capabilities.”
Situ Jin had not taken her eyes off the window, but she also understood what he meant. She was just an ordinary human. In this kind of monster battle, even if her physical fitness was a little better than an ordinary person’s, getting involved would be courting death.
She bit her lip, took a few deep breaths, and still replied, “I know. Don’t worry.”
When the professionals who were supported by the Situ family’s money went out to clear the mines, Xuan Zhu had already returned to the outside of Situ Jin’s door.
She first carefully clung to the wall and used her big deep blue eyes to secretly check if Situ Jin had been hurt by any other monsters. By the time she found that the other was unharmed, she realized that she had broken the door when she rushed in just now, and was now face to face with the collapsed door panel.
A moment later.
She half-squatted down and raised her hand, wanting to grab the door panel, but saw Situ Jin walk out from inside and stand in front of her. “You didn’t sleep last night?”
Or rather.
In fact, Xuan Zhu had neither returned to the swimming pool nor chosen the bedroom selected by the butler.
She should have been guarding her door like a door god, which was why she had reacted so quickly and had rushed in from the outside when there was a strange sound in Situ Jin’s room.
Situ Jin had once again, by luck, had a close shave with death—
But she also knew so clearly that this luck was due to someone’s stubborn watch.
Noticing that there were no wounds on the silver-haired woman’s body, she let out a sigh of relief without a trace, and then pressed her temples. “I’m not sleeping in this room anymore. I’m going to your room.”
Xuan Zhu was stunned for a moment.
“My window is broken. I want to borrow your room to rest. Is that okay?” Seeing that she hadn’t reacted yet, Situ Jin patiently asked again.
The next instant.
The silver-haired woman happily jumped up from the ground, nodding like a chick pecking at rice. She wanted to lead the way for her, but felt it wasn’t enough, and her eyes shone as she extended her hand to her.
She was formally inviting her to her room.
Although this building was all Situ Jin’s home.
The cute little actions made Situ Jin quickly forget the shadow of almost being attacked, and a corner of her lips loosened into a smile.
…
“You’re not going to sleep?”
A few minutes later.
Situ Jin looked at the silver-haired woman standing by the bed, tilted her head, and raised an eyebrow.
Although Xuan Zhu didn’t understand why she had so stubbornly refused to be close to her last night, and had now changed her mind, she vaguely knew that she was not as happy as she was, happy for their intimacy.
Thinking of the monster message that had come from the rainwater before, and looking at the person on the bed who had almost been hurt by the monster, the mermaid stood by the bed and repeated, one word at a time, “I will protect you.”
So, don’t be afraid.
And you don’t have to force yourself to be close to her.
She actually didn’t have to be patted on the head all the time, or to have that gaze always on her.
As long as she could, like now, stand in the place closest to Situ Jin, and her gaze could always see this person, that was enough.
She even half-squatted down, lest her figure standing by the bed be too conspicuous and affect Situ Jin’s sleep.
And then she just blinked at her, as if she were silently urging her.
Sleep, sleep. You are safe.
I will always be watching you like this.
Situ Jin looked at her as if she were a Tibetan mastiff that had willingly crawled into a cage.
But she had never been afraid of this big dog’s size.
She chuckled, raised her hand and squeezed the bridge of her nose, and lay there with her eyes closed for a while, not knowing what she was fighting against. After a long time, her shoulders relaxed, and she said, “Come up and sleep.”
Lifting one eyelid, she glanced over. “Sleeping with me can also protect me, right?”
Xuan Zhu: “!”
Her eyes instantly lit up!
The next second, a big fish burrowed into the quilt.
Xuan Zhu carefully held her breath, not daring to disturb the person next to her’s sleep.
Until that breath had gradually calmed down, she carefully blinked, and greedily, with the faint, thin golden light that leaked in from the occasional gust of wind blowing the curtains, she traced the outline of the person lying next to her.
It was unknown how long she had been staring without blinking, piously.
Only then was she also tainted by that drowsy feeling.
She felt her eyelids slowly become heavy.
She couldn’t help but shrink into the quilt.
And then, before she fell asleep, she leaned over sideways, wanting to let her cool body be warmed by the other’s temperature as much as possible, but that was still not enough—
Her beating heart particularly called for that warmth.
And so she shifted and snuggled, inching closer bit by bit, until she finally nestled her left chest into the warmth of Situ Jin’s palm. Only then did she close her eyes in contentment.
She remembered, Sisi seemed to like to touch her, right?
If she slept like this last time, she would definitely be very happy when she woke up, right?
