Jiang Zheyu recalled the way the man looked at her so intently. Actually, becoming normal beast companions, that is, lovers, wasn't impossible.
After realizing what she was thinking, her heart skipped a beat. How dare she have designs on the female lead's man?
Jiang Zheyu quickly shook his head, trying to clear his mind of those thoughts.
It must be because she hasn't been in a relationship for too long that she's been thinking about men so much.
Tomorrow she'll go buy a well-behaved animal slave who can provide her with emotional support!
After Jiang Zheyu finished taking a bath, he remembered the task he hadn't completed yesterday. What was the punishment for not completing the task?
"System, system, what is the punishment for not completing the task?" Jiang Zheyu hurriedly tapped the system. "Tell me in advance when the punishment will start and what the punishment will be so I can prepare myself mentally."
The system replied to her: "Host, you don't need to prepare yourself mentally. I don't know what the punishment is or when it will start. Anyway, your body will be controlled and forced to do some shameful things."
Jiang Zheyu realized, "Does that mean I lose consciousness when my body is being controlled?"
If that's really the case, then she has no idea what terrible thing she did! She wouldn't need to be afraid at all!
"Host, that's not how you understand it," the system said quietly. "If you're unconscious, how can that be considered a death penalty?"
Jiang Zheyu's pretty little face fell, her expression one of utter despair.
"System, you're ruthless." Jiang Zheyu cursed the system without any force.
She got angry in a fit of rage.
Jiang Zheyu lay in bed and decided to forget about these unpleasant things.
The night wind blew in through the half-open window, causing the curtains by the window to flutter slightly.
The girl on the soft bed slowly got up, her pair of white feet landing directly on the porcelain-colored floor. Her slender ankles were even more beautiful and whiter than the porcelain slabs on the floor.
A gust of wind blew in and landed on the girl, causing the hem of her loose, knee-length white nightgown to sway slightly, exposing her slender, shapely legs to the air.
Jiang Zheyu's short, jet-black hair was also slightly blown to both sides by the wind.
A cold wind blew, and Jiang Zheyu shivered, slightly waking up.
Then, before she was fully conscious, she found herself slowly walking outside.
Jiang Zheyu saw her body open the door on its own, and she slowly walked forward barefoot. Suddenly, she became completely awake.
Has the punishment come?
The previously dark corridor gradually brightened as the girl emerged.
Jiang Zheyu watched as she walked to Su Yan's room, placed her hand on the doorknob, and turned it open.
The door was pushed open!
Does Su Yan not lock the door when he goes to sleep at night?
What's going on? Why did they open Su Yan's room?
Jiang Zheyu was already feeling extremely frustrated. She had just told Su Yan not long ago that they should draw clear lines, that she only considered him an ordinary friend, and then she came to open his door in the middle of the night. She felt that he was being hypocritical.
Su Yan actually woke up when he heard footsteps in the corridor.
He was somewhat surprised that the female master would come out in the middle of the night, until the footsteps stopped at his door and she opened his door.
Su Yan's heart suddenly started beating faster.
Jiang Zheyu slowly walked into Su Yan's room. It was dark all around, with no lights on, and the windows were tightly closed. The heavy curtains blocked out all the light.
She even had some difficulty distinguishing between east, west, south, and north.
But her body had already moved automatically to the bedside and slowly climbed onto the bed.
When Jiang Zheyu felt his knees pressing against the soft blankets, he already knew what punishment was.
The punishment was to climb into Su Yan's bed.
Su Yan's heart was beating fast in bed, and Jiang Zheyu's heart was beating fast too when he climbed onto the bed!
Jiang Zheyu crawled to Su Yan's thigh, only to feel one of her hands supporting a strong thigh through the blanket, while her other hand tried to lift the blanket covering Su Yan. As she reached out, her wrist was firmly and steadily grabbed by a large hand.
This action also seemed to break Jiang Zheyu's body from being controlled.
Caught off guard, she suddenly regained control of her body and knelt down on Su Yan.
Su Yan propped himself up on the bed with his other hand and quietly looked down at Jiang Zheyu, who was lying on top of him. The loose pajamas clung to the curves of the girl's back, revealing her beautiful and graceful spine and the pretty curve of her buttocks.
His red eyes deepened slightly.
Jiang Zheyu didn't want to regain control of her body at this moment. How embarrassing, how incredibly embarrassing, how incredibly embarrassing!
Her face was buried in Su Yan's waist, and through a layer of silk black pajamas, she felt it would be even more awkward if she didn't get up.
Jiang Zheyu struggled to sit up on her knees, her gaze meeting Su Yan's deep red eyes.
"My lady, you climbed into my bed in the middle of the night..." Su Yan's hand landed on the back of her neck, gently stroking it. He lowered his head slightly, as if wanting to kiss her, but stopped a few centimeters away from her lips. "What do you want to do?"
Their faces were so close that it seemed Su Yan could kiss her lips if he turned his head.
Jiang Zheyu's heart raced. She pursed her lips again and again, her long eyelashes trembling slightly as she lowered them. How was she going to explain?
How is she supposed to explain this?
She didn't come on her own; punishment took control of her body, and she was forced to climb into bed.
However, I definitely can't reveal these things about the system.
"I... I was sleepwalking." Jiang Zheyu was now filled with resentment for having met Su Yan's gaze so clearly, which made her tell a lie that was so easy to see through. "I just woke up."
She slowly decided to retreat.
But Su Yan wouldn't allow the person who brought him here to leave so easily.
He placed his hand on Jiang Zheyu's waist, then gently pressed it towards himself, bringing the two of them closer together.
Jiang Zheyu was forced to retreat and was pushed back even closer.
“Su, Su Yan…” Jiang Zheyu placed her hands on Su Yan’s chest, her tea-colored eyes looking at him anxiously.
“Mistress, you said there should be distance.” Su Yan looked down at her quietly. “Then what does it mean that you climbed into my bed in the middle of the night? It’s a rejection that’s not complete, and you keep giving me hope. I don’t like being played with so easily.”
Jiang Zheyu was like someone who had swallowed a bitter pill, unable to express his suffering.
“Yu Yu, we are, by right, beast companions.” Su Yan’s voice lowered. “So it’s only natural that we do what beast companions should do, isn’t it?”
