Do you think I'm a pervert?

The morning light filtered through the gauze curtains, casting tiny specks of light onto the floor. Gu Tinglan's figure stood tall and straight at his desk. Ever since he'd returned unusually early from playing ball, he'd been like this for the past few days, staying indoors and sitting there writing and drawing early in the morning without even raising his head.

At first, Xixi was a little uncomfortable, but now she was used to it. Anyway, he didn't talk much, so it didn't affect her watching TV. She yawned, her eyes half closed, and groped her way out of the room and went straight to the refrigerator.

The refrigerator door made a slight humming sound. Xixi squinted her sleepy eyes and peeked inside. Wow, the refrigerator compartment that was just packed to the brim a few days ago was now almost empty again.

She took a look inside and found that the flavor she wanted was out of stock.

But she just doesn't want to eat strawberry flavor right now.

So Xixi set her sights on Gu Tinglan.

Ever since she moved into Gu Tinglan's house, he would buy two copies of whatever he bought, one for Xixi and one for himself.

Hmm... I shouldn't be noticed if I eat a little of his ice cream, right? He still has so much anyway.

After making up her mind, Xixi reached out for the box of chocolate ice cream at the innermost part, but her fingertips shrank back when they touched the packaging.

"Hiss—" She impatiently scooped a large spoonful into her mouth. The cold, sweet feeling instantly sobered her up. Her tongue was numb from the cold, and she scowled and jumped twice on the spot, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Xixi stuck out her tongue and recovered. She looked down at the ice cream in her hand, her heart moving slightly, and a bad idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

She staggered towards Gu Tinglan's position.

"Gu Tinglan—" She dragged out the last word, approached from behind, and rested her chin on his shoulder, leaving a little gap between them, "Is the ice cream you bought spoiled?"

Her breath was hot, and the sound was close to her ears. Gu Tinglan paused for a moment, then returned to his homework.

Thinking he didn't hear clearly, she raised her voice again, "Gu Tinglan."

This time she saw the young man in front of her frown slightly, and his expression was a little more impatient. It was obvious that he heard it, but didn't want to pay attention.

Xixi could smell his light, refreshing scent, mixed with shampoo. Undeterred, she leaned closer and asked, "Why are you ignoring me?"

As she said this, she followed her succubus instinct and was about to rub her face against his.

It was as if Gu Tinglan had eyes on the back of his head. He was one step ahead of her and dodged her movement by turning his body.

"Stay away from me first." His voice was slightly cold.

In order to ensure the smooth execution of her plan, Xixi did not get angry this time. She pouted and stood up obediently.

She took two steps back to the left and asked, "Is that far enough?"

To confirm how far away she was, she raised her hands, making a zombie-like motion. Xixi leaned forward slightly, her fingertips barely touching Gu Tinglan.

Seeing this, Gu Tinglan put down the pen in his hand, moved the stool slightly back, turned his head, and his eyes fell on the chocolate ice cream in her hand.

"You ate my ice cream," he said, lowering his eyebrows frivolously, "and you're trying to put the blame on me."

"Where's the logic?"

"Oh, don't talk about that for now," Xixi said guiltily, trying to change the subject. "First, ask why it's bad."

"Okay," Gu Tinglan looked at her playfully, as if curious about what she was going to do next, and said with a teasing tone, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that he had finally gotten straight to the point and had fallen right into her trap, Xixi couldn't contain her excitement any longer. She looked at him excitedly, "Then look at me, don't blink."

Gu Tinglan looked at her leisurely.

In front of him, Xixi took a big bite of ice cream and put it into her mouth.

The next second, she felt all the spiritual energy in her body drain away like a popped balloon. Her pajamas suddenly became incredibly loose and fell to the ground with a plop, forming a bulging little heap.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the little devil pajamas at his feet. Something seemed to be wriggling inside.

"I'm here." Her voice was soft, different from her previous voice.

After so much experience, Gu Tinglan was now able to handle such bizarre situations with ease. His eyelashes trembled slightly as he saw a palm-sized little witch frantically crawling out of his sleeve, her blood-red eyes shining like two gems in the morning light.

Xixi struggled for a long time and finally pulled open the pajamas that were too big for her now. She climbed out from the collar with great effort. Her naked body was wrapped in a small piece of cloth, just like the devil dolls sold in shopping malls.

She changed from a 1.6-meter-tall girl to a small ball the size of a palm.

Oh no—

It should be the little devil dumpling.

Xixi has two red horns on her head and the tip of her tail is wiggling.

It's like a smaller version of her.

It shrunk more than a little bit.

Before Gu Tinglan could react, he heard the little boy in front of him open his mouth and speak again.

"I told you it was bad, you made me shrink." Her voice was childish, and she said it in a playful way, "I don't care, you have to be responsible for changing me back."

After saying that, she felt a little guilty and secretly glanced at Gu Tinglan's expression.

It turns out that he is now too tall to be seen at all.

In fact, it had been over a month. The spiritual energy she had previously absorbed from Gu Tinglan had reached a critical level, no longer sufficient to maintain her human form. However, after spending so much time together, Xixi could see that Gu Tinglan didn't seem to like physical contact, and she couldn't force him. So, she had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

Gu Tinglan's temples were throbbing.

He bent down, picked up her pajamas, and wrapped the restless little thing like a dumpling: "Pretend, keep pretending." His fingers accidentally touched the tip of her cold horn, and the little devil immediately giggled as if being tickled.

Xixi choked mid-laugh. She looked down at her short fingers, her tail slowly drooping. This time, she really couldn't hold on any longer. The spiritual energy in her body deflated like a leaking balloon.

Hearing him say this, she knew that her plan was probably going to fail. This guy was not easy to fool at all.

Her face instantly became gloomy, her head drooped, and she looked listless.

Perhaps this time she will just end up in eternal sleep. She just needs to wait quietly for her body to slowly dissipate, and then welcome the next "rebirth" again.

Xixi raised her eyes and stared intently at the giant-like boy in front of her. His eyes were dark and no emotion could be seen, but he was still handsome.

She was very satisfied. At least this time she finally got what she wanted and spent a period of time that could be called satisfying.

Just as she was about to give up struggling and return to her room alone, a low, laughing voice came.

"Tell me, how can I change back?"

Xixi's eyes lit up, and she moved over unsteadily, subconsciously holding Gu Tinglan's fingers, "Then hold me up, I don't like looking up at you."

"And it's still not clear."

Gu Tinglan gently took his fingers out of her arms, slowly opened his hands, revealing his soft palms, "Come up."

He didn't throw her away?!

Xixi hurriedly climbed onto his palm, fearing that he would change his mind the next second.

Seeing that she stood firmly, Gu Tinglan raised his hand and held her in front of him so that she could look at him at eye level.

"Can you speak now?"

Xixi raised her head and smiled, "It's very simple." She rubbed Gu Tinglan's fingers with her small hands and spoke without moving her mouth.

"Tell me the whole story." Gu Tinglan lost his patience.

"That's it..." She hesitated, not knowing whether she was keeping the other person in suspense or she hadn't figured out how to say it.

"Make love to me!" she finally said.

Gu Tinglan almost threw the ball in his hand away: "Say it again"

I really shouldn't have thought that she could say anything good.

The corners of his mouth twitched. Having gotten used to her bold words, Gu Tinglan was no longer as shocked as he was at the beginning.

"Do you think I'm a pervert?" He said speechlessly with a dark face, "I'm not a pedophile."

"Besides, you're so small now," Gu Tinglan lifted her collar with two fingers, preparing to put her down, "not even as big as my palm."

"Hey--hey--" Xixi flapped her wings twice.

"So you're going to just sit there and watch someone die?"

Hearing this, Gu Tinglan paused for two seconds, then brought her back to his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"My spiritual power can no longer sustain my human form. In a few days, it will slowly become transparent until it completely dissipates." Her tone was extremely calm, as if she was talking to him about a very ordinary matter.

The air stagnated for a few seconds.

"Who made you like this?"

If you need to rely on others to survive, what’s the difference between you and the walking dead?

Gu Tinglan's face darkened, there was no warmth in his eyes, and his tone was calm.

“I was born like this.”

Xixi could sense that he was in a bad mood and seemed angry again, so she stopped talking about it and said, "If you don't want to, forget it."

She didn't like being forced, and now, she didn't want to force Gu Tinglan.

Although he sometimes has a bad temper, Xixi knows how he treats her. She is not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity.

The atmosphere was a little tense. After a long time, Gu Tinglan said, "Is there no other way?" His voice was very low, as if he felt sorry for her.

"Yes," Xixi didn't know why he suddenly changed his mind, so she continued, "Actually, if you hold me in your palm, I can recover some spiritual power, but it's very weak. It's better to do... another way that will be faster."

"Actually..." Her voice suddenly trailed off, her eyes red and wet, "Kissing and hugging can also make it better."

Gu Tinglan's tense expression suddenly relaxed. He raised his eyelids slightly and looked at her with a headache, "Okay."

"Hmm?" She didn't hear clearly.

Gu Tinglan didn't mention his intention to repeat it a second time, but instead asked her directly, "If I hold you in my palm, how long will it take you to recover?"

Counting the days, summer vacation is almost over.

"Actually, I can absorb spiritual energy from you," Xixi said, sitting cross-legged in his hands, "but I can't stop, otherwise it will be consumed quickly."

"That means you have to take care of me at night." She was calm and her tone didn't sound like she was asking for help.

"OK."

She is so small now, and when it comes to life and death, Gu Tinglan can choose to ignore some details.

"Huh? You actually agreed to let me into your room?" Xixi got up, tilted her head, and looked at him with shining eyes.

Her eyes were too scorching, so Gu Tinglan decisively stretched out his arms and asked her to stay away. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you out."

"Don't come crying and begging to come back then."

Hearing his cold words, Xixi's raised mouth corners instantly returned to calm.

Although Xixi didn't think he would do that, she still said "Oh" obediently.

Although she didn't show it on her face, she was secretly complaining about him.

He just says harsh words and has a really bad temper!
