Chapter 149 World Five [7]
Jing Ke thought for three seconds and then decided to ask Chu Ci's opinion.
Chu Ci tilted his head after hearing this, "Sleep together, take a bath together."
"Okay, let's take a shower together." Jing Ke agreed immediately.
Facing the disapproving look of her sister Pingping, Jing Ke took out two sets of pajamas from the closet and went to the bathroom holding Chu Ci's hand.
Jing Ke had no resistance or shyness to being honest with others. Her original fragment was a medical genius and had come into contact with countless human bodies.
Because she had to record Chu Ci's various physical indicators, Jing Ke had looked at her body many times. After closing the door, she naturally helped Chu Ci take off her clothes.
Chu Ci hadn't learned how to be shy yet, so he just stood under the shower head and helped Jing Ke take off all his clothes.
After handing the new towel to Chu Ci, Jing Ke also took off her clothes, turned on the shower head, and adjusted the corresponding temperature.
"Wash yourself clean with a towel." Jing Ke first picked up the towel, then pointed at Chu Ci's grayish-white body which still looked unhealthy.
Chu Ci nodded, stood under the shower head, and let the warm water slide down his head and then wet his body.
While Chu Ci was scrubbing his body with a towel, Jing Ke took out a bath ball, put two pumps of shower gel in it, and rubbed the bath ball quickly until it was filled with white foam.
"Don't move, I'll help you." Jing Ke said.
Turning off the shower head temporarily, Jing Ke used the bath ball in her hand to continuously apply foam to Chu Ci's body, not missing any part of the body.
Chu Ci was very curious about the extra white foam on his body. He grabbed some with his fingers and put it to his nose to smell it. After finding the smell a little unfamiliar, he tried to put his fingers into his mouth.
"You can't eat it. This is shower gel. You can't eat it." Jing Ke grabbed Chu Ci's wrist in time and stopped her.
"Can't eat it?" Chu Ci asked with his head tilted, blinking his dark red eyes.
"Yes, you can't eat it. This is toiletries. You will feel uncomfortable if you eat it." Jing Ke explained patiently, bent down and continued to lather Chu Ci's lower body.
Chu Ci blinked, and after making sure that Jing Ke couldn't see her, she secretly put her index finger into her mouth and tasted the shower gel.
Hmm, it tastes terrible.
Pah pah pah——
Chu Ci revealed a mask of pain, and immediately turned his body sideways to spit out the melted foam in his mouth.
At present, Chu Ci’s sense of taste is not much different from that of normal people. She can tell whether something tastes good or not.
"Did you just eat shower gel?" Jing Ke, who worked diligently, straightened up and looked at Chu Ci with a slightly frown.
Chu Ci opened his eyes wide and tilted his head, trying to use the old trick to get away with it.
"I told you not to eat it, why are you still eating it? Don't you believe me?" Jing Ke asked with a stern face.
Fortunately, Chu Ci tasted foam this time. If she had tasted poison, she would have collapsed by now.
"I believe you, I'm just curious." Chu Ci shrank his neck like a child who had made a mistake.
Chu Ci rarely saw Jing Ke angry. She was used to being indulged by Jing Ke, so she wanted to see this expression on Jing Ke's face every time.
"You have to be obedient and behave well before we can sleep together." Jing Ke emphasized.
There are many strange things in his room. If Chu Ci doesn't understand this sooner, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
"I'm very good and obedient," Chu Ci repeated. He reached out and grasped Jing Ke's wrist, interlocking their fingers so that she could read his inner thoughts.
"Okay, I understand. You can continue and use this to wipe your body." Jing Ke let out a light breath and decided not to bother with Chu Ci, who had a poor brain.
After putting the bath ball into Chu Ci's hand and sending her to play somewhere else, Jing Ke used another bath ball to bathe herself.
Chu Ci felt a little unhappy when he found himself being ignored, but thinking that he had indeed been disobedient just now, he could only play with the bath ball by himself, waiting until Jing Ke finished taking a bath, and then come over to help her rinse clean.
"I'll be obedient. Don't separate from me." After wiping his body clean and putting on pajamas, Chu Ci immediately grabbed Jing Ke's hand.
"Okay, we won't separate." Jing Ke straightened Chu Ci's collar and emphasized, "If you listen to me, we won't separate."
Chu Ci nodded, kept his fingers interlocked and pushed open the door of the room.
Jing Pingping had been waiting outside with the potion in her hand. Her eyes fell on the two people's tightly clasped hands, and then she spoke expressionlessly.
"Lie down, I'll inject the medicine into Chu Ci." Jing Pingping said with a hint of urging in her voice.
It's too dangerous. Taking a shower together is still too dangerous. I should have stopped them before.
"Be good, you can go to sleep after the injection of the medicine." Jing Ke said.
Chu Ci hummed, lifted the quilt and lay on the soft and comfortable bed filled with Jing Ke's scent, then exposed his left arm.
Jing Pingping didn't hesitate at all. After finding Chu Ci's blood vessels, she injected enough medicine into her veins to keep her quiet for twelve hours.
Originally, Jing Pingping planned to use a ten-hour dosage, but after hearing the sound of water dripping in the bathroom, she quietly added a two-hour dosage.
"I'm in the living room. If there's anything unexpected, just call me." Jing Pingping didn't forget to give additional instructions before leaving the bedroom.
"Okay, Sister Pingping, don't worry. Chu Ci is very well behaved. We are just sleeping together. Nothing will happen." Jing Ke promised solemnly.
Chu Ci blinked his eyes after calming down, trying to show his harmless side.
"Good night." Jing Pingping said, and as she turned and left, she turned off the lights in the room.
"Chu Ci, good night." Jing Ke said, holding Chu Ci's right hand, and closed his eyes.
"Good night." Chu Ci said.
Three minutes later, a restless vine emerged from Chu Ci's left wrist and began to grow slowly.
Instead of moving toward the heat source, the vines followed the bed to the carpet, then the floor, and then to the only door in the room.
Ten minutes later, vines also sprouted from Chu Ci's right wrist. They first loosely wrapped around Jing Ke's wrist, but when they saw that she was asleep and unresponsive, they gradually became more aggressive and began to grow directly against her skin.
At this time, Jing Ke, who had already fallen asleep, began to dream.
Unlike special lucid dreams, Jing Ke's consciousness was in a drowsy state.
Originally Jing Ke was walking on a country road, but as she walked forward step by step, the originally wide road became narrower and narrower, until there was no road at all.
But Jing Ke did not stop moving forward. Instead, he passed through the bushes and continued to move forward in the forest.
The further she walked, the denser the trees around her became. Branches kept scratching Jing Ke's body, making her move slower and slower.
Keep moving forward, keep moving forward, now is not the time to stop.
The voice coming from his subconscious made Jing Ke work hard to push aside the dense vegetation and move forward at an extremely slow pace.
After maintaining this posture for an unknown amount of time, Jing Ke's entire body was immersed in the exceptionally lush vegetation, and her breathing became more and more rapid.
Whoosh—whoosh—
It seemed like she couldn't breathe. Jing Ke vaguely realized this and tried hard to push away the plants that trapped her.
But maybe because he was exhausted or for some other reason, Jing Ke couldn't even complete a simple action like raising his hands.
Huh? Struggling to breathe, unable to move my hands? Does this situation sound familiar?
After a brief moment of confusion, Jing Ke's chaotic consciousness became clear, and her body's alarm system was fully activated, waking her up from the dream and suddenly opening her eyes.
It's broken. It's true that I'm having difficulty breathing and it's also true that I can't move my hands.
What's worse is that it's not just his hands, Jing Ke found that his feet couldn't move either.
Without turning on the lights, Jing Ke realized what had happened after she woke up.
The original potion did not calm Chu Ci down. After she fell asleep, she controlled the vines to tie herself up.
"Chu Ci, Chu Ci, are you asleep?" Jing Ke, who was still able to speak for a while, tried to speak.
"No, I didn't fall asleep." Chu Ci's voice soon sounded in Jing Ke's ears.
"Let me go, I can't breathe." Jing Ke said, and after realizing that he was still holding Chu Ci's hand, he tried to read the other's thoughts.
Mine, this is mine, my property, should be owned by me and should stay with me completely.
Jing Ke sensed that Chu Ci's emotions were stronger than the last time he tied her up. After a brief moment of confusion, Jing Ke found the reason.
Zombies and monsters are more active at night. Chu Ci has not fully recovered yet, and her mind is still affected by the virus mutants remaining in her body.
So at night, Chu Ci's thoughts would become relatively extreme. If you want her to be obedient, you have to be more patient than during the day and spend more time to comfort her.
"We are together, but I feel uncomfortable. Loosen the restraints on me and let the vines release me." Jing Ke repeated over and over again.
After saying it about fifteen or sixteen times, Chu Ci finally understood Jing Ke's meaning and loosened the vines wrapped around her chest a little.
Jing Ke breathed a sigh of relief after breathing smoothly, and then continued to work hard, "I won't leave you, let go of me, and I won't leave you either."
After repeating this again and again, Chu Ci remained silent. Although the vines did not tighten, they did not loosen at all.
Mine, you are mine, you are mine, stay with me, everything about you is mine.
Jing Ke couldn't help but feel a headache after reading the stubborn thoughts again. If her hands were still free, she would definitely want to reach out and pinch her eyebrows, then close her eyes, relax her body and think.
But Jing Ke's hands were not free, even moving her fingers was extremely difficult.
"Chu Ci, why do you want to trap me? I am right by your side. I didn't leave you, but took you home." Jing Ke asked in confusion.
She had clearly done what she promised Chu Ci yesterday, so why did Chu Ci still take such extreme action?
"Stay by my side forever." Chu Ci's voice became a little hoarse.
The head, which was originally about 20 centimeters away from Jing Ke, moved closer to her cheek, and finally started to smell her neck.
Is Chu Ci hungry? Or is there something wrong with the potion he modified?
No, Chu Ci ate a lot for dinner, so he definitely wasn’t hungry.
As for the possibility of a problem with the medicine he had developed, that was even more unlikely. Even if a medicine he had developed failed, he would receive feedback within three minutes. It was unreasonable for side effects to suddenly appear three or four hours later.
After eliminating all the possible reasons, Jing Ke could only temporarily attribute the cause to her own lack of understanding of Chu Ci's state at night. She could only pray in her heart that day would come soon, so that she could return the obedient Chu Ci to her.
"I'm by your side and I won't leave you." Jing Ke knew that she couldn't provoke Chu Ci at this time, so she chose to follow her inner thoughts and try to coax Chu Ci.
Facts have proved that Jing Ke's decision was very correct. After hearing Jing Ke's assurances over and over again, Chu Ci's uneasy state seemed to calm down a little.
The vines wrapped around Jing Ke also began to wriggle slowly, and were retracted bit by bit by Chu Ci himself.
For Jing Ke, this result should be a good one.
But Chu Ci's vines grew close to Jing Ke's skin. When they were still tender buds at the beginning, there was no discomfort when the vines passed through her body. It was just like the feeling of walking in the woods in a dream.
But once the binding is completed, the vine will slowly grow bigger and thicker, and the outer skin will become relatively rough.
In such a situation, the feeling of the vines crawling against the skin was not a pleasure for Jing Ke, but a chronic torture.
In addition, the vine was ignorant and only knew to follow the will of its master and lock Jing Ke tightly by its side, so it did not understand what places should be particularly avoided.
Jing Ke, who has not obtained physical enhancement, looks like an ordinary person in all aspects, and is even weaker than an ordinary person.
Just like that, after more than ten minutes of relatively agonizing time, Jing Ke couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when the last vine left.
Chu Ci touched the unknown liquid on the tip of the vine, then hugged Jing Ke with his hands and feet.
"No, leave me." Chu Ci emphasized, wishing he could stick all his skin to Jing Ke's.
"Okay, I won't leave you." Jing Ke's eyes were a little empty. She had a lot to say, but it ended up turning into a sigh.
Forget it, saying anything now is all hindsight. What he needed to do was to ensure that he was within Chu Ci's sight 24 hours a day, and then complete the tenth version of the evolution potion as quickly as possible so that Chu Ci could return to normal.
Strictly speaking, this was not the first time that Jing Ke had experienced being held by Chu Ci while sleeping.
In the past, when she was in a special dream, Jing Ke had condoned Chu Ci's behavior countless times.
Compared to myself who was naked in the dream, in reality both Chu Ci and I were wearing pajamas.
After finishing self-comfort, Jing Ke gradually felt sleepy and fell asleep again, missing Chu Ci's little movements again.
He didn't see Chu Ci curiously take a bite of his own vine, nor did he notice the doubt that flashed through Chu Ci's heart.
It tastes a little sweet. What's that?
-
The next day, Jing Ke opened her eyes first, reminded by her biological clock.
After discovering that there were no vines on his body, and only Chu Ci who was hugging him with his arms and legs as if he were a pillow, Jing Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's great that we spent the night safely.
While exhaling, Jing Ke pulled out a hand with great effort and pinched Chu Ci's face.
"Get up, Chuci, get up," Jing Ke said. Noticing Chuci showed no signs of waking up, she increased the strength of her hands and began rubbing Chuci's pale face with a hint of revenge.
With Jing Ke's unremitting efforts, Chu Ci slowly opened his eyes. A hint of doubt first flashed across his dark red eyes, and then slowly became clear and transparent.
"Good morning." Chu Ci greeted Jing Ke the same way he had greeted her before.
"Good morning." Jing Ke replied subconsciously, and then tried hard to pull off Chu Ci's hands and feet from his body.
"Get up, change clothes, wash up, and then eat." Jing Ke said, supporting himself on the bed with his hands and trying to sit up.
After realizing that Jing Ke was about to leave him, Chu Ci subconsciously reached out and grabbed Jing Ke's wrist, forcing her to give up getting up halfway, and she fell back onto the bed with a thud.
"Chu Ci, are you not behaving well?" Jing Ke turned around and looked at Chu Ci.
Chu Ci blinked innocently, "You have to be with me, you can't be separated from me."
"I'm just getting up, not leaving." Jing Ke explained patiently, "We can't just sleep all the time. When the time comes, we have to get up and eat."
Chu Ci blinked, released a vine to wrap around Jing Ke's wrist, and then tacitly allowed her to get up and leave.
Jing Ke stared at the vine on her wrist for a while, then looked at the door of the room which was completely blocked by the vines, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Forget it, let’s just be thankful first, thankful that my sister Pingping respects my privacy and won’t open the door to check on me in the middle of the night.
"Chu Ci, retract your vines. We will open the door soon." Jing Ke pointed at the door that turned green.
"Also, I need to change my clothes. I can't put on clothes with you holding my wrist like this." Jing Ke opened the wardrobe and put the clothes on herself to try.
Fortunately, Chu Ci was relatively obedient during the day. After Jing Ke repeated it twice, he obediently put away all the vines.
But after Jing Ke changed her clothes, Chu Ci quickly released the vines again until Jing Ke helped her put on her clothes, brush her teeth, and wash her face.
"Well, Sister Pingping will be angry. If Sister Pingping is angry, you will have to go to the lab and sleep alone." Jing Ke said. After seeing Chu Ci frown unhappily, he quickly added another sentence.
"I will hold your hand, and you will sit next to me while we eat."
Chu Ci hesitated for a second and chose to cut the vine at his wrist.
The broken vines retained some activity because their owner was nearby, and eventually turned into a green bracelet that remained on Jing Ke's wrist.
Jing Ke looked at it for a while, then quietly pulled his sleeves down to avoid his sister Pingping seeing it and drawing her sword against Chu Ci.
-
The good news was that Jing Pingping didn't notice anything wrong thanks to her sleeves covering her eyes. She turned around and brought out the prepared breakfast.
Bad news, Jing Pingping discovered that the potion didn't seem to be that effective on Chu Ci.
Jing Pingping remembered very clearly that before going to bed, she injected Chu Ci with a medicine that was enough to keep her quiet for twelve hours.
And now? It had only been less than nine hours since the injection, not to mention that the wake-up time had to be pushed forward even further.
So, to sum up, if you want Chu Ci to stay quiet tonight, you have to double the dosage.
"Sister Pingping, I don't think this is necessary. Chu Ci is very obedient. She... didn't do anything to me." Jing Ke tried to speak in a normal tone.
Jing Ke knew very well that conventional medicines were no longer that effective on Chu Ci, or even had no effect at all.
Because Chu Ci was injected with many improved evolutionary drugs, through continuous positive mutations, her body's drug resistance and anti-toxicity have been greatly improved.
I didn't notice this in time, so it was my own fault.
If my sister Pingping knew this, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep with Chu Ci at night anymore.
But I have promised Chu Ci many times. If I suddenly break the promise and turn against him, there is a 200% chance that the two of them will fight because of me!
After realizing that he had become a sandwich, Jing Ke slowly exhaled and sorted out his emotions in the shortest possible time.
"Sister Pingping, I believe in Chu Ci, please believe in me too." Jing Ke said, "I won't do anything rash, Sister Pingping, you know me."
Jing Pingping frowned subconsciously, and her disapproval was almost written on her face.
In contrast, Chu Ci raised the corner of his mouth. Relying on the fact that Jing Pingping couldn't see under the table, Chu Ci arrogantly touched Jing Ke's ankle with the vine in his left hand and circled it to shake it.
"Sister Pingping." Jing Ke said, meeting Jing Pingping's gaze, trying hard not to reveal any flaws in his expression.
Jing Pingping frowned slightly, her gaze moving repeatedly between the two of them, until she was sure that Chu Ci's eyes and skin color were very different from those of a zombie, becoming more like a human, then she nodded in compromise.
"Okay, I understand. But if I find out that Chu Ci has done something she shouldn't have done to you, then everything I promised you before will be invalid. Chu Ci can't sleep with you, she must stay in the laboratory." Jing Pingping emphasized.
After hearing Jing Pingping's words, Chu Ci frowned subconsciously and wanted to do something to declare his sovereignty.
Fortunately, Jing Ke anticipated Chu Ci's behavior, and first held her hand with her left hand, and then stuffed a piece of steak into her mouth, interrupting what Chu Ci wanted to do.
"Okay, Sister Pingping, Sister Pingping, don't worry." Jing Ke responded quickly, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Sister Pingping's side has been resolved. What remains to be done is to nag Chu Ci more before it gets dark, and ask her to give up the idea of tying herself up like a caterpillar in the middle of the night.
If I can successfully convince Chu Ci once, I should be able to successfully convince Chu Ci the second, third and countless times thereafter.
The feeling of being tied up like a caterpillar is not pleasant, and letting the vines stick tightly to the skin and then slowly pull away from the body is even more uncomfortable.
It is enough to have a similar experience only once in a lifetime. If it happens a second time, it will be an unbearable burden for life.
