Chapter 41 Spell-Making Prodigy Girl VS. The Demon Lord Who Shares Her Bed 14
Another thought flashed through Qi Suihuan's mind: he hadn't done anything wrong, and there was nothing wrong with him.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiyi was unaware of Qi Suihuan's inner thoughts; she simply thought the world was a small place.
What a coincidence that we bumped into each other!
I look like a stalker sneaking around in the middle of the night.
But she just couldn't sleep at night, so she went out for a stroll.
She was innocent, and she was helpless.
She was in a real dilemma.
She didn't want to disturb the male and female leads, but now that Qi Suihuan had discovered she was eavesdropping, she certainly couldn't pretend she hadn't heard anything.
Even if not now, she'll definitely need to go and cause a scene with the male lead later, otherwise her supporting female character won't hold up.
"I have to work overtime again. What kind of world is this?! I can't stand this lousy job for another day!"
Jiang Zhiyi felt like she was going crazy at that moment.
【Master, calm down! Tuantuan has applied for a raise for you. Let's go back first.】
Tuantuan came out at the right time to comfort her.
Not long after, Qi Suihuan saw Jiang Zhiyi turn around and leave, as if none of this had ever happened.
"Demon Lord, rest assured, you may come to me at any time if needed. Although I am now a disciple of the Immortal Sect, I will never protect the wicked." Ruan Lingyue said solemnly.
Qi Suihuan responded with a faint "yes".
...
After Qi Suihuan returned, he stood in the courtyard for a while before walking to Jiang Zhiyi's door. The lights inside were off, so she must have already gone to sleep.
After hesitating and thinking for a long time, he turned around and went back to his room.
He entered the room and found that Jiang Zhiyi was actually there.
A small lamp was lit on the table facing the door inside the room. When the door was opened, a breeze blew in, causing the flame to flicker and the light and shadows inside the room to sway.
She curled up in a small corner of the bed, facing the wall.
She probably wasn't asleep, but even though she heard him come in, she didn't make any move, let alone rush towards him as she usually does.
Without saying a word, he turned off the light and lay down beside her, fully clothed.
He heard her sobbing softly.
Looking to the side, her shoulders were shrugging, and her back view looked pitiful, forbearing and aggrieved.
I felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
The two seemed to have started competing with each other.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but the sobbing didn't stop, and he listened silently to her movements.
Finally, Jiang Zhiyi turned around and hugged him, and his hands instinctively pulled her into his arms.
Previously, when the two slept in the same bed, Jiang Zhiyi was a very restless sleeper.
When she's not asleep, she'll pester him, either asking him boring questions or touching him inappropriately. She'll keep bothering him for a long time before she'll stop.
Even when he's asleep, he's never still. When he's not sound asleep, he sleeps in all sorts of strange positions, and I often have to push him to the edge of the bed halfway through his sleep.
She only became much more well-behaved after falling asleep, nestled obediently in the blankets.
Therefore, he got used to holding her in his arms so that he could get a good night's sleep.
"I know that I was the one who set you up in the first place, using magic to bind you. I thought that after spending so much time together, you might treat me differently, at least not like you are now."
She spoke these words while choking back tears.
"You told her everything, but did you ever consider our situation? What if she turns around and schemes against us?"
"She wouldn't dare, and I will protect you."
Ruan Lingyue is still somewhat useful to him, but if she is unfaithful, he will kill her directly.
"I've always known you're a cold and aloof person, always suspicious and distant, and hard to approach. Do you still not like me?"
"..." He didn't know how to start the conversation; he wasn't entirely without feelings for her.
“From childhood to adulthood, I have always known that I should strive to get what I want. That’s always been my way of doing things. If I don’t have it, I’ll find a way to get it. I’ve never thought there was anything wrong with that.”
"Only today do I realize I was wrong. You can't force feelings, at least not with you. What do you want me to do? I really don't know what to do now."
Jiang Zhiyi cried so hard she could barely breathe, pretending to be extremely heartbroken.
Qi Suihuan felt her tears soak his clothes, and he felt a little bad.
After a long while, he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through today..." But the person in his arms had already fallen asleep.
Using the moonlight streaming in through the window, Qi Suihuan gently wiped away the tears on her face and gazed at her in a daze.
He sighed, then leaned down and kissed away a tear from the corner of her eye, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Within the system's consciousness.
Tuantuan praised her with nice words.
[Your performance today was a great success; you deserve the Best Acting Award, and your overtime pay is on its way.]
"You flatter me." Jiang Zhiyi smiled. "Tuantuan, can you find any information about Lingzhen?"
"Yes, Master."
Tuantuan immediately retrieved the relevant information for her.
Seeing the lines of text written above, Jiang Zhiyi felt extremely ironic.
Who would have thought that the biggest mastermind behind it all would be him?
