Chapter 7 Chapter 7 The Dream of a Social Animal

As we all know, Chen Run is a very carefree and stubborn person. This basic attribute determines that she rarely dreams and sleeps very soundly.

But this nap was an exception.

When she opened her eyes again, the environment was still the familiar bedroom where she took naps, but Shen Run instinctively felt that something was wrong.

The light in the bedroom dimmed little by little, and the darkness seemed to have its own consciousness, slowly rolling and surging, devouring the remaining light from all directions.

In the thick and sticky darkness, a cold and sticky gaze was cast over and silently attached to her.

This is the gaze of a higher-dimensional creature.

Feeling the gaze of an absolute predator, the animal instinct engraved in his genes was awakened. Shen Run shuddered and wanted to run out barefoot.

Her ankle suddenly tightened, and a purple-black tentacle covered with suction cups tied her ankle.

Chen Run staggered and fell onto the bed.

The tentacles moved up along her calves in circles, to her knees, gently brushing across the inside of her thighs, and up along her waist and back, finally climbing onto her shoulders and deftly binding her wrists.

Soon, her hands and feet were tied together, and after losing her balance, she fell to the edge of the bed in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

No, why was she entangled by a giant grilled squid? Was this retribution for eating too much grilled squid? Were the vengeful spirits of the squids seeking revenge?

Chen Run was frightened half to death and began to struggle violently. She didn't even hear the footsteps in the darkness.

The footsteps were slowly approaching, and so was the cold and sticky gaze.

Finally, the footsteps stopped.

It wasn't because He left, it was because He came to her bedside.

Chen Run slowly stopped struggling, but her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. In the suffocatingly quiet bedroom, one could almost hear the sound of her heart pounding against her chest.

The only remaining light in the bedroom seemed to come alive, flowing and converging on the person beside the bed.

Chen Run finally saw the owner of that gaze. She was stunned: "Brother Chi?"

This person was indeed Chi Shuangliu, but his clothing and demeanor were completely different from the Chi Shuangliu she took care of full-time.

He was completely different from his usual expressionless animal state. He had a slight smile on his face, and the corners of his lips were perfectly curved, as if they had been measured with a protractor. At first glance, he was captivating, but after looking at him for a long time, he had a creepy pseudo-human feeling - as if a non-human was imitating a human's expression.

He was wearing a robe of a very simple and elegant style, with a top and skirt, and a leather belt around his waist. He was wearing a dark black robe, and looked like clothing from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Chen Run couldn't keep up with the plot at all, and his eyes were fixed on the robe he was wearing.

Chi Shuangliu also glanced at his own clothes and smiled gently: "Ah, I'm sorry, it's been so long since I last interacted with humans that I forgot this isn't the way modern humans dress."

He pressed his palm lightly on his chest, and the simple wide-sleeved robe was immediately replaced by a suit and tie. The waistline of the suit was tightened, and he wore a slim vest inside, outlining his tall and straight figure.

He asked gracefully, "How about now? Are you feeling better?"

Shen Run's CPU was almost broken, and he slowly uttered a word: "...Ah?"

Why did the Miracle Nikki plot suddenly start again? What is this? Miracle Nikki?

She sat up in confusion: "Brother Chi...what are you doing? What the hell is going on?"

Although the current situation was very strange, Chi Shuangliu's kindness and consideration weakened Shen Run's fear, and she instinctively asked Chi Shuangliu about the situation.

"Don't be nervous, you're in a dream." Chi Shuangliu chuckled and snapped his fingers. A chair appeared behind him and he sat down gracefully. "I have a few questions for you."

He hooked his finger lightly, and the tentacle that was bound to Chen Run's right hand immediately moved upwards, and the tip covered with suction cups pressed on her carotid artery.

He pressed down lightly with his fingers in a vicious manner, and the tip of the tentacles also tightened. A suffocating feeling came from the neck, and Shen Run immediately felt difficulty breathing.

Chi Shuangliu admired the fragile expression of the human being due to pain: "I'm sorry, in order to make our communication smoother later, I have to let you feel the price of lying in advance."

When he said this, he frowned slightly, revealing an extremely vivid, pitying expression, as if he was really heartbroken for having to hurt Chen Run.

After a moment, he raised his finger slightly and said with a smile: "First question." He raised a finger: "What is your purpose in coming here?"

In the dream dominated by him, Shen Run seemed to have lost the right to lie. She instinctively answered: "Here we pay six insurances and one fund..."

Chi Shuangliu: "..."

Having been isolated from the world for too long, the evil god clearly didn't understand the significance of social security for modern office workers. He was slightly stunned and speculated thoughtfully, "Is the six social insurances and one housing fund... some kind of special gold?"

"No," Chen Run said quietly, "it's the housing provident fund."

Even though he would look like an idiot, Chi Shuangliu paused and couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"

Chen Run: "...It's the money the company saved for you to buy a house." She added: "Plus, Mr. Lu pays a very high salary. He gets regular holidays, bonuses and benefits during festivals, and even options and shares if you work for a full year."

Chi Shuangliu: "..."

This short sentence contained several terms he didn't understand at all. His expression froze for a moment, and he could only summarize and conclude on his own: "So you're after... money, a house, and the ability to take regular vacations?"

Shen Run affirmed: "...Ah, you can say that."

Chi Shuangliu felt insulted: "..."

In the dream world dominated by him, he could sense any concealment or lies made by Chen Run. He couldn't help but sense it again and confirmed once again that what she said was completely true.

Compared with those who had fought for power, studied supernatural powers, fought for power and profit, and even destroyed the world, Shen Run's answer was a bit too plain.

Chi Shuangliu was silent for a while, and finally spoke again: "Second question." He looked at Chen Run, holding his chin with a smile: "What is your desire?"

"Bring honor to the family and stand out from the crowd."

Chen Run suddenly became melancholic. "Although the salary at Sun Umbrella is quite high, back home, only civil servants can eat at the table. Besides, I'm already an active member of the Party. After I get the options, I want to take the civil service exam, but I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do."

As a rookie in the workplace, she has a common problem among rookies - she can't control her mouth, and when someone asks her a question, she wants to reveal her entire family history.

She looked at Chi Shuangliu and asked sincerely, "Brother Chi, do you have any suggestions?"

The evil god, who had unknowingly started chatting with his prey about career development plans, said: "..."

This time he was silent for a full half minute before speaking again: "Is this really all you desire?"

Chen Run looked at him with some confusion. The tentacles wrapped around her neck climbed up again, gently lifted her chin, and the tips covered with suction cups traced back and forth along the line of her lips, and gently tapped between her lips, eager to invade.

He leaned over, his expression bewitching: "This morning in the living room, you stared at my lips for three seconds..." He smiled and asked: "What were you thinking about? Huh?"

As he spoke, his plump and beautiful 'M'-shaped lips opened and closed, and the tip of his tongue moved with the words he pronounced. The sound of stirring water came from his delicate lips along with his voice, which was very seductive, as if it was a deliberate seduction.

Chen Run's vision blurred slightly, and he felt difficulty breathing again, but this time it was not because of the tentacles entangled.

The tip of the tentacle stopped and gently pressed her lower lip. She spoke with some difficulty: "Brother Chi, I told you not to be angry..."

"Why should I be angry?" He curled his lips slightly and leaned down little by little, making his lips level with hers: "Be more confident, maybe I can satisfy you."

Chen Run took a deep breath and mustered up her courage: "Brother Chi, you have to brush your teeth after breakfast, you..." She tried to be as tactful as possible: "Um...you have to try your best to maintain oral hygiene."

Chi Shuangliu: "..."

Before she could explain the reason, the tentacle pressing on her lips seemed to be angry and embarrassed, forcibly prying her lips and teeth apart, scraping violently across her teeth, and going deeper into her mouth.

Without thinking, Shen Run bit down hard, stopping his forced invasion.

Chi Shuangliu's face turned slightly cold. He raised his hand slightly, and Chen Run disappeared before his eyes - he ended the dream ahead of time.

Without an audience, Chi Shuangliu no longer needed to hide himself. The gentle, bewitching, and charming expression on his face completely disappeared. There was no extra expression on his face, and even his eyes turned into pure black like the abyss.

He looked down at the teeth marks on his fingertips.

Soon, with a slightly disgusted expression, he wiped off all traces of humanity, leaving his fingertips as smooth as new.

There seemed to be a trace of her breath lingering in the dream space. Chi Shuangliu flicked his fingers to dispel the last trace of the scent factor, then lowered his eyes and slowly began to think.

If he hadn't smelled the familiar scent in her blood, if her appearance hadn't soothed the restless restrictions in his body, he simply wouldn't have believed that this was a descendant of the Chi clan.

This stupid human woman was actually the descendant of the powerful and insidious Chi clan who betrayed him and placed the most vicious restriction on him.

But...this is fine.

Chi Shuangliu slowly opened his eyes.

This would make it easier for him to use her to appease the restriction, or even use her to find a way to break it.

He rubbed his neck wordlessly.

Taking a step back, the entire dream space dissipated like smoke.

......

Although the lunch break was two hours long, Chen Run woke up after sleeping for less than an hour.

With Chi Shuangliu around, she certainly couldn't remember what she dreamed about, but when she touched her back, she found that the back of her neck was covered in cold sweat.

She couldn't figure out the reason, and could only attribute it to the air conditioning temperature being too low. She used the remote control to turn up the temperature in the room a little, drank a few more glasses of water to calm herself down, and then left the bedroom.

Chi Shuangliu was still sitting by the window, maintaining the same posture as in the morning. He didn't even look back when Chen Run came out.

The work to be done in the afternoon includes entertainment and enrichment activities - in simple terms, playing with others.

Chen Run looked around and picked up the colorful ball that Chi Shuangliu had been throwing yesterday and threw it over: "Brother Chi, catch it."

Chi Shuangliu didn't even turn his head, stretched out his arms, and caught the ball with one hand.

The next second, he crushed the seemingly solid ball right in front of Chen Run.

Chen Run: “…”

Although she didn't know why, she felt that Brother Chi suddenly disliked her a little.
