Chapter 50 My Wardrobe is Quite Big (2) Having a lot of lice isn't a problem...
"Xia Ying, who are you talking to?"
"You misheard, it's probably the sound of the TV."
While giving vague answers, Xia Ying held onto Fafnir tightly, glaring at him fiercely and telling him to get lost.
The dragon stared at her blatantly, showing no intention of leaving.
Okay, fine, it's wrong of me to expect you to behave.
Xia Ying glanced at the Sisyphus collar around the dragon's neck and quickly issued a mandatory command: "Fafnir, I order you to leave here immediately!"
The black collar did not respond at all.
Fafnir smiled meaningfully: "Have you forgotten, Xia Ying? The cooldown period for the last forced command hasn't ended yet."
Just the day before, Xia Ying used the [Sisyphus Collar] on the dragon and immediately ordered him to end his [Circular Domain Internship]. Now, calculating the time... it seems that it hasn't even been a full day yet.
This is bad.
Xia Ying glanced at the kitchen again, thinking quickly and calmly.
Just as she was thinking this, Cerberus's footsteps rang out.
There's no time to think! Certha is about to come out of the kitchen!
In a moment of desperation, Xia Ying forcefully shoved Fafnir into the wardrobe next to her and threatened in a low voice, "You stay here and don't make a sound."
So when Cerberus arrived, he saw Xia Ying standing alone by the window, closing it.
She turned back and blinked innocently at the demon hound: "What's wrong, Cerberus?"
Cerberus walked up to her and suddenly peeked through the curtains.
There was nothing there.
"It's nothing," Cerberus said, relieved. "There's some fruit left after the meal, would you like some?"
Xia Ying replied without hesitation, "I want to eat!"
He nodded, and was about to leave when he turned back to tidy Xia Ying's messy long hair. Then, just like a puppy rubbing its nose against its owner, Cerberus kissed her forehead very naturally.
"I'm going to wash the fruit now, you can watch TV for a while longer."
"Ke'er," Xia Ying said, "I want to eat it peeled and cut."
"good."
"It needs to be cut into bite-sized bunny shapes, and presented beautifully on a plate..."
Cerberus said impatiently, "Alright, alright, don't push your luck!"
After confirming that he had returned to the kitchen, Xia Ying carefully turned around and gently opened the wardrobe door.
Just as she was about to speak to Fafnir, who was hiding inside, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the wardrobe and pulled her into the shadows.
The cabinet door closed, and Xia Ying was pushed to the deepest part, her back pressed against the cold cabinet wall. Then the giant dragon squeezed its knees between her legs, lifting her buttocks while pressing its body down on her.
In the dark wardrobe, the two bodies were almost pressed tightly together. The dragon lowered its head, its golden eyes radiating a burning light.
From that gaze, Xia Ying seemed to vaguely sense a kind of anger.
"What are you angry about?" she sneered. "Is this my house? Shouldn't I be the one who's angry?"
The dragon said unhappily, "Why can that dog touch you openly, but I have to hide?"
She poked the dragon's ample chest with her finger, pointing and saying, "You're neither gentle nor a good cook, and you don't like listening to people. Besides being pretty, you're utterly useless. Get your place! You shameless third party!"
Hearing this scumbag-like statement, Fafnir's dragon eyes flickered, and he instead curled the corners of his mouth: "I know, you prefer this kind of play, right?"
Fafnir knelt down in front of Xia Ying, lifted the hem of her skirt, and kissed the back of her knee.
Xia Ying instinctively wanted to stop him, but this was just the beginning. Fafnir's kisses spread upwards in small, delicate strokes, gradually turning into licks and light bites. Just as her nightgown was about to be lifted up to her thighs, Xia Ying finally reacted and pushed his head away.
"Are you crazy?!"
“You do like it a little, don’t you?” Fafnir looked up at her with a wicked smile. “Is your dog any better than me?”
Xia Ying argued, "Cher...we Cher are not that vulgar!"
A slight noise came from the kitchen, sounding like Ke'er was washing the kitchen utensils. Xia Ying immediately became alert again: "Alright, tell me what you're here for."
“I miss you,” Fafnir said. “Since you don’t want to be imprisoned by me, why don’t you consider imprisoning me instead?”
“My family already has native inhabitants, and natives are very jealous, so I’ll decline.” Xia Ying refused as expected. “Besides, you’re going to be the King of the Ring Domain, so don’t even think about slacking off.”
“Then how about this…” Fafnir finally revealed his true intentions, “When the rings are allocated, you can come to the Crimson Crown Ring.”
“It’s not like I can just go wherever I want…” Xia Ying suddenly noticed the noise in the kitchen and quickly stopped talking. “Ker is coming out soon, let’s talk about it later!”
Cerberus carried a beautifully arranged plate of fruit out of the kitchen, only to find that although the TV was on, Xia Ying was not sitting on the sofa.
He turned his head and found Xia Ying still standing in the same spot, looking at the wall with her hands behind her back.
"..." Cerberus didn't immediately connect the dots to the wardrobe next to him. "What are you doing facing the wall, Xia Ying?"
"I was thinking, when we get home, we should decorate this wall a bit," Xia Ying said nonchalantly. "We could hang up some photos of the two of us; didn't we take a lot of them at the amusement park?"
"Whatever you like." Kernel placed the fruit plate on the coffee table. "Come and have some fruit."
Xia Ying returned to the living room, and as if by muscle memory, lay down with her head on the dog's lap, and began to eat fruit with the air of a tyrant.
Having become accustomed to taking on the role of a parent, Cerberus subconsciously tried to correct Xia Ying's posture, but couldn't help feeling happy because of her initiative to make contact.
As if the previous separation still made him feel lingering fear, Cerberus cherished everything about the other person even more, even just a little bit of scent and body temperature.
Xia Ying quickly finished showing off the fruit platter, then comfortably turned over, facing Ke Er, and casually put her arm around his waist.
What should I do? I just want to eat and drink my fill and then sleep soundly.
But Fafnir is still in the cupboard; we can't just leave him there.
At that moment, Cerberus gently stroked her head, and Xia Ying hummed twice like a cat, feeling a sense of comfort travel from the top of her head along her spine to her tailbone.
Otherwise, we can just ignore Fafnir...
As she drifted off to sleep, Cerberus suddenly spoke up and asked a question.
"Xia Ying, what is this?"
"Hmm?" Xia Ying raised her face groggily, then realized that Cerberus was looking at her legs.
Because Xia Ying was used to lying on the sofa at will, she didn't notice that the hem of her skirt had rolled up a little, revealing the scattered red marks on her skin.
While she was still frantically trying to recall what had happened, Cerberus was already making no attempt to hide his intentions and was about to reach up and lift her skirt to examine her closely: "Did something bite you? Does it hurt?"
"Insects, insects!" Xia Ying was instantly startled awake, quickly sitting up and covering her skirt. "Don't move, I'm fine!"
"Are you really alright?" Cerberus frowned. "If you're alright, why the strong reaction?"
Xia Ying blurted out, "Isn't it because Ke Er lifted my skirt? How can he just lift someone else's skirt like that?!"
Once these words were spoken, the two fell into an unusual silence.
“…” Xia Ying said, “It seems like we’ve always been like this.”
Cerberus looked at her, and began to genuinely worry: "Are you really alright?"
Xia Ying hugged the puppy's head and comforted it, "I'm fine."
Perhaps because the sudden appearance of the dragon brought uncertainty, Xia Ying couldn't help but reflect on her usual way of getting along with Cerberus.
Cerberus, from the demon realm, completely failed to grasp her thoughts on boundaries in relationships: "What are you thinking?"
Xia Ying hesitated for a moment, then said, "For example, would Ker would want to... with me?"
The demon dog still looked confused, so Xia Ying beckoned him to come closer and whispered the word.
Cerberus looked enlightened, gently placed his hand on Xia Ying's waist, and whispered in her ear, "So, now you want to be with me..."
"No, I was just asking if you've thought about this!"
“I haven’t thought about it seriously, because we’re already very close even without that,” Kerri said, propping himself up. “But it doesn’t seem so bad, though. That way, I can leave my scent everywhere.”
He suddenly blushed and turned his face away: "Never mind, it's better not to."
"Are you thinking about something?" Xia Ying quickly turned his face towards her. "Why are you blushing? You're making me feel embarrassed too!"
“You were the one who brought it up first.” Cerberus stopped what he was doing and sniffed. “Speaking of smells, I’ve been vaguely smelling something like lava since just now…”
"Ah, it's probably because I've been staying in the Crimson Crown Ring." Xia Ying tried to cover it up while becoming increasingly eager to get rid of her dog so she could focus on dealing with the uninvited guest. "Speaking of which, could Kernel help me go out and buy something?"
"Okay, what do you want?" He subconsciously agreed to Xia Ying's request, then thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't you going? Didn't we say we were going to stroll around Twilight Square together?"
“I… oh right, I want to take a shower first. Didn’t you say it smelled like lava?” Xia Ying said. “I want to eat the dessert with ‘poisonous frosting’. Thank you, Ker.
Kernel exclaimed in shock, "Can you still eat anything?"
Actually, I couldn't eat anymore.
Xia Ying stubbornly replied, "The dessert is in another stomach."
"So greedy..."
Cerberus glanced at Xia Ying silently, then went to the bathroom to prepare a bath for her.
"Alright, go take a shower now, don't wait until the water gets cold before you come out."
Xia Ying responded, went into the bathroom, and closed the door.
Cerberus walked out, then suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked the other person what kind of dessert they wanted, so he turned back to the bathroom door and grasped the doorknob.
Just as the demon dog was about to push the door open as usual, Xia Ying's words came to mind. He suddenly felt his face getting hot, so he stopped and knocked on the door instead.
Xia Ying's voice came from behind the door: "What's wrong?"
Which dessert would you like?
"It will be all right!"
After Xia Ying answered, she quietly pressed her ear against the door, listening to the other person's movements.
Cerberus said "okay," and the footsteps faded into the distance. A few seconds later, she heard the door close.
Xia Ying finally felt relieved and prepared to leave the bathroom. As she was about to use the time to reason with Fafnir in the closet, she heard a strange "gurgling" sound behind her.
She stopped and turned around, seeing the water in the bathtub sloshing and overflowing. Suspecting a problem with the pipes, Xia Ying walked back to the bathtub and peered inside.
Then, she saw a whirlpool in the bathtub!
The whirlpool was incredibly deep, as if it connected to the deep sea... And thinking of the "deep sea," Xia Ying suddenly had a very bad premonition.
Her premonition was immediately confirmed: a mermaid suddenly leaped out of the whirlpool and appeared in her bathtub.
"Xia Ying, are you alright?" The beautiful siren leaned over and tenderly took her hands in hers. "I missed you so much."
Xia Ying's expression was blank, but her eyes were filled with tears, and a line of words kept swirling in her mind.
