A tale of opposites: a naïve yet bold succubus and a sharp-tongued, pure-hearted young master.
Xi Xi, an exceptionally picky succubus, would rather face eternal slumber than settle for subpa...
Underwear is also needed
Xixi slept until she woke up naturally as usual, and she dragged her heavy body out of the door. Ever since she moved into Gu Tinglan's house, the guest bedroom had been completely occupied by her and now became her room.
She hung a small sign on the door, which she found out from somewhere, and then used a little magic to write her name on it. It was crooked, but you could see that it was "Xixi".
The guest bedroom was not far from the master bedroom. When Gu Tinglan saw the doorplate for the first time, he asked her to take it down with an impatient look on his face. As a result, she started crying, making a fuss, and even threatened to commit suicide. He was so annoyed by the noise that he ignored her.
Succubus have a strong sense of territory and like to mark their belongings. She wanted to mark Gu Tinglan too, but because of his bad temper, Xixi didn't mention it.
Humph, anyway, no one dares to approach a human with a bad temper like him except her.
Sooner or later she would mark him!
Xixi seemed to be still asleep and dreaming sweet dreams. She dragged her heavy body slowly towards the refrigerator.
When the strawberries were taken out, she opened her mouth and took the first bite. The rich juice spread in her mouth, icy and sweet.
She smacked her lips in satisfaction, closed the refrigerator, and the moment she turned around, she noticed a familiar figure sitting on the sofa in the living room.
He was wearing a set of home clothes, his black hair looked freshly washed, fluffy and clean. He was leaning back on the sofa, exuding a sense of laziness in his bones.
A movie seemed to be playing on the screen in front.
"Are you a koala spirit? You're both greedy and sleepy." He didn't even bother to turn his head and just spoke to the TV screen.
"No, no, no, I'm much better than Koala."
"But why didn't you go out today?" She subconsciously sat down next to Gu Tinglan again, and before he could react, she excitedly put her face close to him, "Do you feel guilty about leaving me alone?"
Her eyes were shining as she stared at him.
Xixi leaned in too close, the warmth of her breath caressing his face with a faint sweet fragrance. Gu Tinglan could see her snow-white neck by lowering his eyes. Further down, her collar was slightly open, revealing a soft curve that rose and fell gently with her breathing.
Any closer and his lips would almost touch the tip of her nose.
Gu Tinglan suddenly turned his head and stepped back. His movements were so hasty that he almost fell into the sofa. He had to use his hands to support himself to steady himself.
The red tip of his ear, dripping with blood, was hidden behind his black hair, appearing and disappearing, and it was difficult to see clearly.
"Xixi, there should be some distance between people." His Adam's apple rolled, his eyes were deep and dark, and there was a hint of displeasure in his voice.
"Why are you so fierce? I, I'm not a human." Although he said so, his body did not dare to delay for a moment and stayed away from him.
Xixi had been staring at his lips intently. They were pink and full, and he was so handsome, but she didn't want to hear a word he said.
Seeing that he pursed his lips tightly and still looked unhappy, Xixi's eyelashes trembled, her mouth pursed, and she shook her head pretentiously, "Kind words build good relationships, and bad words hurt people. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
Gu Tinglan: “…”
At this time, she admitted that she was a human being.
Besides, where did he say anything bad?!
Gu Tinglan took a deep breath and then looked at Xixi again. She was still wearing the clothes he had given her, and her two white thighs were still exposed.
"I'll take you clothes shopping," he paused, a hint of interest in his eyes, "Do you want to go?"
Xixi's eyes suddenly lit up, almost popping up, "Really? Great!" She subconsciously wanted to rush forward again, but she braked suddenly halfway and sat back abruptly, staring at him eagerly.
Gu Tinglan leaned back into the sofa, her arms casually resting on the backrest, a chuckle escaped from her throat, "Now, am I still saying bad things?" The last word was drawn out slowly, but her eyes were full of obvious threats, as if if she dared to say a wrong word, he would take back his promise the next second.
"Of course not, you're just saying it in a nice way," Xixi answered firmly, completely unaware of the danger. She even flattered him naturally, "I love what you say!"
Gu Tinglan raised her eyebrows slightly. Although she was a little clumsy, she could still be saved with some guidance. "Before you wore my clothes, did you have a set of your own clothes?"
"Hmm..." Xixi frowned and tried to recall. It seemed that besides the "original skin" she was born with, she only had a set of extremely tacky clothes that Xiyin had found from nowhere.
It was gray and looked just like a sack. She didn't like it, but Xi Yin said that if she came to the human world wearing her original skin, she would be caught and studied, so she put it on reluctantly.
After arriving at his house, she found that he had a closet full of nice clothes. Xixi immediately crumpled up the old-fashioned clothes that made him look like a homeless person and threw them into some corner.
I thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't remember where I threw it.
"Yes, but I don't know where it went." She was cautious, afraid that he would not take her shopping for clothes.
"I'm just wearing your clothes. Can't I go out?" She asked seriously, as if she didn't understand why he insisted on asking her to wear the same outfit as before.
"You can go out, but you'll attract a lot of strange looks." Gu Tinglan was already used to her ignorant way of asking questions about everything, and even when she explained seriously, she would add some hidden meanings, lowering her voice to be mysterious. "Then, you might be arrested."
"Even I can't save you."
He deliberately dragged out the last word of his voice, making it sound lazy, so that others could tell he was bluffing.
But Xixi couldn't understand all these twists and turns. She widened her eyes and muttered, "The human world is so troublesome." She frowned slightly and looked really annoyed.
Gu Tinglan caught a glimpse of her expression and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
His clothes were too big, and his pants were a size too large for her. Because his pants kept falling off, she was used to wearing only a shirt, and the hem of his shirt barely covered her legs, so the slightest movement would expose her. If he went out like this, he would probably be arrested for kidnapping.
"But..." He deliberately dragged out the last word.
Sure enough, the girl in front of him pricked up her ears instantly, and she took the bait in a second. She came up decisively and said, "But what? Can I still have beautiful clothes to wear?"
Xixi now truly treats herself like a human being. She eats human food, has her own room, a phone to play with, and a TV to watch. She's also very happy to have her own clothes.
Seeing that she was really looking forward to it, Gu Tinglan stopped teasing her. She thought it was too stupid and not fun.
"Tell me your size. I'll have someone pick out a dress and send it over. You can put it on and then we can go out."
After the words fell, Xixi didn't respond.
Gu Tinglan raised his eyes and met Xixi's confused look, which was full of "What kind of alien word is this?" He immediately understood, but also felt a little tricky.
His temples throbbed. "...You don't know your own size, do you?"
The furry head nodded like a chick pecking at rice, with a clear expression on its face saying, "You're amazing. You can even guess this."
"It's not a big deal. Just pick out a suit that fits you."
After Gu Tinglan finished speaking, he picked up his phone and dialed the number. His fingertips tapped on the screen a few points faster than usual. As soon as the call was connected, he heard Yi Qiao's dying voice, "Master Gu, what do you want——"
"Send a dress to Xilin," he interrupted directly. His peripheral vision swept over Xixi, who was curled up on the sofa, and he added, "She's about 160cm tall and thin."
The woman first replied subconsciously, "Got it," and then uttered a wise "Ah?!"
A skirt? A skirt for little girls?!
I'm afraid I'm hallucinating, right?
I thought this was already fantastic enough, but the next second I heard the underage master, who was usually rather unruly but never out of line, coughed twice unnaturally on the phone, and his voice suddenly became so low that it was inaudible, "Well, underwear is also needed."
“Pah—”
This time, it was Yi Qiao who dropped his phone on the table because he didn't hold it firmly.
Her mouth opened slightly, and she felt like she was struck by lightning.
It's over. Ji Yunbai asked her to keep a close eye on him. She thought that with Gu Tinglan's personality, there was nothing to worry about, but this happened.
But with her good professional manners, she just coughed twice and cleared her throat. After a moment of silence, she pretended to be calm and asked, "What size underwear do you need?"
Gu Tinglan pretended not to hear and hung up the phone. The woman looked at the beeping phone in disbelief. She was not angry about being hung up unilaterally, but a hint of amusement appeared on her face.
At his age, he is indeed easily shy. I understand.
wrong.
Isn't this right?
She quickly picked up her car keys and prepared to go to the nearby mall to pick out a dress, thinking to herself: Don't do anything stupid, my underage master.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Tinglan stood there in silence for a few seconds. After the heat in his ears completely dissipated, he raised his eyes to look at Xixi. She was engrossed in watching the movie, and was amused by the comedy clips. He was left alone to ponder how to restore his reputation.
"You little heartless one," he scoffed, and as he turned around, he almost bumped into Xixi, who had suddenly approached him. The girl had paused the movie at some point, blinking and asking, "When will my new clothes arrive?"
Gu Tinglan took two steps back silently, slightly away from her head that was leaning forward. He glanced at her twice, said nothing, and walked away from her.
Tsk, what a hassle.
I've said it so many times, there should be a sense of boundaries between humans and demons, yet they always get so close.
The doorbell rang half an hour later. Gu Tinglan opened the door and was greeted by Yi Qiao's perfect and appropriate smile - if you ignore her crazy glances into the house.
However, Gu Tinglan didn't mean to explain anything. He took the clothes without any abnormality on his face, as cold as ever. "The hard work fee will be charged to your account."
When Yi Qiao heard about the hard work fee, she completely forgot all the gossip. After all, Young Master Gu was very generous. She nodded and said, "Okay, Young Master."
She is almost ten years older than Gu Tinglan. She was originally her mother's right-hand man, but Ji Yunbai went out for a trip this time and left her with Gu Tinglan.
It was called holiday overtime, but it was actually paid leave because Gu Tinglan had never asked her to do anything before. It was hard for him to give her some instructions and even give her a tip.
After getting in the car, Yi Qiao opened the text message and saw: one, two, three... four zeros.
Fifty thousand?!
Isn't this hush money?
Originally, I wouldn't tell her about it if I didn't give it to her. Employees hate talking about their boss's private affairs behind his back, but -
Yi Qiao couldn't help laughing, her love for money was about to overflow on her face. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: if she had to work, she was willing to work for Ji Yunbai for the rest of her life.
Sometimes you can get something for nothing.
Gu Tinglan had the skirt in her hand and hadn't taken more than two steps when she saw Xixi coming up to her, shaking her head, her eyes twinkling, "Mine, right? This is my new dress, right?"
He dodged Xixi's outstretched hand, his expression slightly changed, and then the corners of his mouth rose, smiling meaningfully, "You want it?"
Xixi quickly said "hmm" twice.
"Then you give me something in exchange," Gu Tinglan said directly, fearing that she would say something embarrassing again, "Tell me what your true form is." There was a hint of complacency and teasing in his eyes.
