do you like me?

Seeing Gu Tinglan's increasingly gloomy expression, his deep, inky black eyes seemed to be brewing an extremely dangerous storm, but a suspicious blush stained his neck and ears. This contradictory look made Xixi's heart beat fast, and her fingers unconsciously tightened around the sheets.

She couldn't figure out the extent of his anger, so she could only look at him stupidly, blinking and smiling bitterly, "Don't worry, I will be responsible for you."

I didn't expect her to say such shameless words. Gu Tinglan was stunned for a moment and then laughed out of anger.

"Heh." Gu Tinglan sneered, straightened his open collar with one hand, threw back the quilt and got out of bed, "Dream on."

Xixi stumbled from his sudden movement and fell flat on her face on the bed. Seeing the situation was dire, she rushed over and grabbed his fingers, "Don't throw me!"

Gu Tinglan lowered his eyes and looked at the little succubus hanging on his finger. She was not even as big as his palm. At this moment, she was looking up pitifully, with tears hanging on her eyelashes.

"Are you scared now?" He scoffed, and with a flick of his finger he lifted her up. Sissy was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly and curled up like a cat being held by the scruff of the neck.

Perhaps she was still feeling guilty, so she even forgot to act coquettishly and beg for mercy.

Waited a few seconds.

The expected pain did not come.

Her body stiffened, and she quietly opened one eye, her clear eyes meeting a pair of smiling ones. The boy was close at hand, gazing at her. In this quiet, long gaze, Xixi couldn't help but hold her breath, as if the air around them had stopped.

"So you also know how to be afraid?" Gu Tinglan's nonchalant teasing broke the strange silence between the two.

"I thought you were so arrogant that you didn't know what heaven and earth were."

Without waiting for her to answer, Gu Tinglan loosened his fingers and gently placed her on the table. "There won't be a next time." He left with a threatening word and turned away.

Seeing this familiar tone, Xixi instantly understood that he was no longer angry. Her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and she continued to mutter, "Where are you going? You're not taking me with you?"

But the cold figure did not answer her question.

Seeing this, Xixi stretched, sat down, and looked in the direction where Gu Tinglan was leaving with her chin in her hand.

She knew that he was a very soft-hearted person.

Humph, you’ll dare to do it again next time!

Gu Tinglan walked towards the bathroom without looking back and slammed the door shut.

As the cool water washed over her burning skin, Gu Tinglan leaned against the sink and took a deep breath. The sight of herself in the mirror was horrible—her chest was covered in tiny teeth marks, as if gnawed by a small animal. Worst of all, a sensitive area was incredibly red and swollen, stinging with the slightest touch.

"Hiss—" He gritted his teeth and touched the wound. The tip of his ear in the mirror turned even redder. Was this little succubus born in the Year of the Dog? She bit so hard.

There was a rustling sound outside the door, followed by a dull thud, as if something had fallen from a great height. Gu Tinglan paused in wiping his hair, and then heard Xixi's sobbing voice: "Gu Tinglan! I fell!"

He sighed and resigned himself to opening the bathroom door. He saw the little succubus sprawled on the floor. Upon seeing him come out, she immediately reached out her hands, looking aggrieved. "I want a hug..."

Gu Tinglan squatted down, picked her up with two fingers, and said unhappily, "You deserve it."

Xixi took advantage of the situation and hugged his fingers, smiling slyly: "I knew you wouldn't ignore me~"

Gu Tinglan looked at the smug little succubus at his fingertips, a vein throbbing in his forehead. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly revealed a dangerous smile: "It seems I've been too indulgent with you."

Before Xixi could react, she was turned over and lay on his palm.

"What are you doing?" She twisted her body in panic, but he gently pressed her back with his thumb.

"Let's settle the score." Gu Tinglan slowly took out a nail file from the drawer and shook it in front of Xixi's horrified eyes. "Since you like biting people so much..."

"I was wrong, I was wrong!" Xixi immediately admitted her mistake and tried to escape from his palm using her hands and feet. "I will never bite you again!"

Gu Tinglan snorted softly and threw the nail file aside. Xixi had just breathed a sigh of relief when she felt her body suddenly lifted off into the air—she was placed into the glass.

Gu Tinglan stood in front of the glass, looking down at the little Xixi inside. His shadow loomed over her like an insurmountable mountain.

"Next time, come to me before you shrink." He bent his fingers and tapped the cup lightly, making a crisp sound. "It will be inconvenient for me to help you recover after you shrink. Do you understand?"

The fact that it hasn't shrunk means that it still has some spiritual power, so it's not as inseparable as it is now.

Xixi, who was lying at the bottom of the cup, immediately perked up upon hearing this. She grasped the rim of the cup with both hands, her eyes brightening dramatically. "So, you're finally willing?" she said, twisting her waist in a suggestive manner.

He said before that she would be very perverted now that she is so young, so would she not be perverted when she grows up?

Gu Tinglan's forehead twitched: "No."

He squatted down, his eyes level with the little succubus in the cup. The sunlight reflected through the glass onto his face, outlining a clear outline.

"Sissy," he said, calling her by her full name, a rare moment of earnestness. "Do you like me?"

"Hmm?" Xixi tilted her head, her black hair falling from her shoulders. She recalled the sappy scenes from the TV show and said firmly, "Of course I like it!" After all, this was a food she had carefully selected for a long time, and it was also a very popular food in the succubus world.

Gu Tinglan stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled. That smile was a bit self-deprecating, yet also a bit helpless. He reached out and poked her forehead: "That's not the kind of love."

"Which one is that?" Xixi blinked in confusion, her heart-shaped tail swinging restlessly behind her.

Gu Tinglan was silent for a moment, then took out a piece of candy from his pocket and threw it into the cup: "Anyway, the kind of thing you're talking about can only be done with someone you truly like."

Xixi frantically caught the candy and curled her lips at the words, "But I'm a succubus." She peeled off the candy wrapper expertly, and her cheeks immediately bulged. "We were born to do that kind of thing."

The sound of the sugar cubes rolling at the bottom of the glass was crisp and pleasant. Gu Tinglan looked at her heartless appearance and suddenly reached out and turned the glass upside down.

"Ah!" Xixi screamed, rolling around in the cup and sending the candy flying out of her hand. When she frantically managed to steady herself, she was staring into Gu Tinglan's enlarged handsome face.

"Then learn to be a human being." His voice came through the glass, sounding a little dull. "In my place, you have to follow the rules of humans."

Xixi angrily slapped the wall of the cup: "Gu Tinglan, let me out!"

"Actually, you don't really like doing this kind of thing, right?" Gu Tinglan poked the wall of the cup with his hand, just facing Xixi's face.

Her movements suddenly stopped, as if the pause button was pressed.

"Yeah," Xixi stopped wagging her tail and asked him curiously, "How did you figure that out?" As a succubus who was born to suck men's essence, she was afraid that she would not fit in, so she imitated their words and deeds.

"I'm not as stupid as you."

Gu Tinglan poured her out of the cup, and after a dizzying moment, Xixi was back in his hands.

His deep, magnetic voice came from above his head: "How long will it take for you to change back?"

"I'm not sure, but it will be soon."

Xixi's tail restlessly wrapped around Gu Tinglan's fingers, and was then gently moved away by him, repeating over and over again. The two of them had a lot of fun.

Gu Tinglan still did not go out today. He stayed at home with Xixi watching TV all day to help her recuperate.

Late at night, Gu Tinglan closed his laptop and rubbed the back of his neck. The little succubus in his palm had long since fallen asleep, curled up in a ball, its tail unconsciously wrapped around his wrist, like a delicate doll.

He lifted her up gently. Sissy rubbed his fingers drowsily, purring like a kitten.

"Troublemaker." Gu Tinglan cursed in a low voice, but still carefully carried her to the bedroom.

In the warm yellow glow of the bedside lamp, Xixi turned over in his palm, revealing half of her fair calves from beneath her nightgown. Gu Tinglan stared at her for a moment, then suddenly turned his face away, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.

This time he didn't put her on his chest, but held her in his palm, not wanting to repeat the same mistake.

At midnight, Gu Tinglan was awakened by an unusual warmth.

He subconsciously tightened his arms, but felt a piece of delicate and smooth skin. The hazy sleepiness instantly dissipated, and he suddenly opened his eyes——

Moonlight filtered through the cracks in the curtains, outlining the graceful silhouette of the person in his arms. Sissy had somehow returned to her original form, curled up in his arms, her black hair cascading across his arm. She was sound asleep, her eyelashes casting subtle shadows on her face, her red lips slightly parted, her breath warm.

Gu Tinglan froze.

He could clearly feel every inch of her curves - her slender waist, her soft ups and downs, and her restless tail, which was now tightly wrapped around his wrist. What was even more terrible was that the small skirt she was wearing had been torn, and now she had returned to her original skin.

"Fuck..." Even though he didn't usually swear, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, his Adam's apple rolling violently. His right hand was still in the hugging position, his palm pressed against the hollow behind her waist, the skin there was frighteningly hot.

He tried to pull his arm back, but woke up Xixi who was sleeping.

"Hmm..." She drowsily opened her eyes, her crimson pupils still tinged with moisture. As if sensing their close proximity, she instinctively moved closer, her nose almost touching his Adam's apple.

Gu Tinglan's breathing stopped.

Only then did Xixi wake up completely and found herself lying on him.

"I, I didn't mean to..." she stammered, the tip of her tail flapping against the sheets nervously.

Gu Tinglan suddenly turned over and pressed her down. In the moonlight, his eyes were frighteningly dark, and his voice was hoarse: "Do you think I will believe it?"

Xixi held her breath and could clearly feel every inch of his tense muscles. His body temperature came through the thin clothes, burning her heart.

"You're quite capable." He leaned over and whispered in her ear, his hot breath spraying on the sensitive earlobe.

The plot has come back to haunt him. It seems she didn't listen to a word I said before.

Xixi opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Well, she could indeed feel that her spiritual power had almost recovered, but she really couldn't estimate when it would return.

"I--"

"Now that you've recovered, go out." Gu Tinglan interrupted directly. He reached out and grabbed the blanket beside him and draped it over her.

"Oh." Xixi pouted and obediently walked out dragging the blanket.

She looked puzzled, wondering why his reaction was completely different from what Xi Yin said.

Isn't it said that no one can resist temptation?

She must have been fooled by Xi Yin.
