Chapter 21 Dog Man
It really was him!
Dog! Man! Human!
Jiang Liyue kept her eyes closed, showing no surprise whatsoever.
Apart from Pei Ji, no other weirdo would look at her with that kind of perverted gaze.
Fortunately, in order to portray the sleeping state convincingly, she had specifically learned how to adjust her breathing rate to match that of someone who is asleep.
Otherwise, how could she have discovered that Pei Ji, that scoundrel, actually climbed into her bed late at night?
Pei Ji's icy hands, like two snakes, slowly crawled up to her waist, wrapping around her tightly as if coiling around prey.
His breath was also icy cold, as he sniffed Jiang Liyue's neck repeatedly, like a puppy.
It occasionally sticks out the tip of its tongue to gently bite and lick.
Pei Ji stared at Jiang Liyue's sleeping face with a sickly gaze, repeatedly touching her skin with an insatiable thirst.
It smells so good, I love it...
Before Jiang Liyue appeared, he clearly enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game.
Perhaps it was out of boredom; watching those little insects gave him a glimmer of hope, only to have that hope dashed, which somehow gave him a fleeting sense of pleasure.
What sets him apart from other supernatural beings is that he has no desire for human flesh and blood.
In his view, human blood was foul-smelling, and skin and bones were disgusting.
Only in the instant when the blood bursts open does it possess a beauty akin to a blooming flower.
And when they showed fear and despair in their eyes, it was somewhat interesting.
Until Jiang Liyue appeared, her entire body and even her soul were filled with fragrance.
Her skin was warm and soft, and her lips were beautiful and sweet.
Even the rhythm of her heartbeat and the sound of her blood flowing were things that Pei Ji desperately wanted to possess.
The desire to possess, without the violent urge to destroy, was a remarkably novel experience for Pei Ji.
Pei Ji knew very well that this was not the effect of some inferior item, nor was it because no player had tried to use items on him.
He would only feel disgust.
But Jiang Liyue was completely different; it seemed that her mere presence was enough to attract him.
Tonight was at roughly the same time as every day, but the thought of leaving Jiang Liyue made him feel irritable.
Finally, when he smelled the insects, he couldn't resist and couldn't wait to find her.
"Yueyue, my..." Pei Ji murmured in a sickly voice.
The black mist, a symbol of power, once again emanated from him and slowly crept up her body.
Zhu Huan and the other two were so frightened that they huddled together on the balcony, crying and sobbing.
Because her eyes were closed, Jiang Liyue's other senses became even clearer.
She could feel the wetness of Pei Ji's tongue and the skin being repeatedly caressed.
Suddenly I realized that the feeling I had when I woke up this morning was not a dream at all.
That bastard Pei Ji already slept in her bed last night.
Jiang Liyue is now certain that she has indeed gotten herself into trouble with a little pervert.
But isn't this little pervert kind of cute?
It mumbled to itself and licked her while making soft whimpering noises, which somehow reminded Jiang Liyue of the puppy she used to have when she was a child.
It could also be because the other person is just strangely handsome.
After all, if Pei Ji were to grow up to look like some other strange creature, she definitely wouldn't be able to stand it.
This world is so materialistic, judging by appearances.
Jiang Liyue admitted that she was simply lustful.
Jiang Liyue originally thought that Pei Ji's clingy nature would make it difficult for her to fall asleep.
But who knew that as Pei Ji rubbed against her, she actually became sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it.
Jiang Liyue knew very well that she was dreaming.
She felt as if she were trapped in a dark space, surrounded by darkness, with only a huge glass wall in front of her.
On the other side of the glass, she saw a pretty girl enter the school full of hope, only to be bullied by her three roommates.
Her grades may not be that good, she may not be that pretty, and she has an introverted personality, so she is rarely noticed.
At first, they would just gather together and laugh strangely when she passed by.
Then it started to turn into sarcastic remarks, asking the girls to help them carry things and do their laundry.
Later, it turned into insults and physical violence.
Finally, it turned into blood, and the entire glass seemed to turn a scarlet blood color.
Jiang Liyue's fists clenched; she knew—
That girl is Ren Yuanxing.
Pei Ji had told her that everyone's fate is predetermined, let alone this dream.
It's something that has already happened, and Jiang Liyue can only be a spectator.
Through the blood-red glass, she heard Ren Yuanxing's sobbing.
She lay on the floor, her chest ripped open, her limbs broken irregularly and violently.
She was just left there all alone.
She was asking why, what she had done wrong, and why no one could save her.
"Ren Yuanxing, you did nothing wrong." Jiang Liyue's tone was firm yet gentle, regardless of whether Ren Yuanxing heard her or not.
"You are a star too, a star in other people's eyes, and someone will notice you; you shine too!"
Jiang Liyue rummaged in her clothes and actually pulled out the pink envelope: "Look, someone saw you."
A pale hand appeared on the other side of the glass, and Jiang Liyue saw the pale-faced girl on the other side through the blood-red glass.
Their hands met through the glass, and the pink envelope was placed in Ren Yuanxing's hand.
She opened the envelope and looked at it for a while, her dark eyes glistening with tears.
The red blood mist on the other side of the glass seemed to grow thicker and thicker, until it finally engulfed Ren Yuanxing completely.
Before she disappeared, her mouth opened and closed as if she were saying something.
Jiang Liyue heard a ding-dong sound.
A small metal sign fell to the ground.
She bent down and picked it up; it was another key, with a bloodstained tag on the keychain that read "Art Room."
When Jiang Liyue sat up in bed the next day, Pei Ji was no longer beside her.
Her skin remained smooth and fair, as if nothing from last night had left any trace on her.
Jiang Liyue recalled her dream and looked down to find a key to the art room in her hand.
The pink envelope she had folded and put in her pocket had disappeared.
It seems that what happened last night was more than just a dream.
Jiang Liyue fell into thought.
Zhu Huan and the other two stood up from the balcony, rubbing their dark circles under their eyes, and asked in surprise, "What happened? Did we sleepwalk again?"
Jiang Liyue remembered that they had said something similar yesterday morning, and now she finally understood what was going on.
The three of them were clearly scared to the balcony by Pei Ji!
Jiang Liyue cursed Pei Ji for being shameless in her heart, but put on a concerned smile: "Have you been working too hard these past few days? I heard that if you are under too much pressure during the day, you will sleepwalk."
“Maybe.” Zhu Huan suddenly realized, “It’s all because of that lousy school that assigns so much homework every day.”
Then she started complaining with the Zhou sisters, Zhou Mei and Zhou Li, about how the school was inhumane.
When middle school students criticize their schools, there is immediate resonance.
Jiang Liyue smiled slightly to the side, keeping her merits and fame hidden.
