She lowered her fair little face, and from Jiuqi's angle, he could only see her profile. It was extremely delicate, not the kind of otherworldly beauty, but a kind of beauty with a hint of charm.
As if she noticed his gaze, Chu Ci glanced in his direction and quickly applied the medicine to him. Then she sat on the chair beside him, looked at Jiu Xi who had straightened up again on the shell bed, and casually placed the medicine in her hand on the table beside her. "Okay, go to sleep."
With a slight wave of her hand, a book appeared in her hand, and the light of Mingzhu next to her brightened slightly.
She didn't look at him again after that. She just sat very close to him, looking at the book in her hand with her eyes downcast.
'Jiuxi Love Value +2, currently 9.'
This was the first time Jiuxi had felt such indulgence in his life.
He pursed his lips slightly, and a complex expression flashed across his eyes again. In the end, he obediently shrank back into the shell bed and closed his eyes.
He didn't know why, maybe it was the slightly brighter light next to him, or the fact that Chu Ci was sitting next to him silently, except for the occasional sound of flipping pages, but he felt a lot more at ease this time.
My consciousness gradually faded, and when I woke up again, the light outside had already come on.
He didn't have that dream again the whole night. He opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment, still somewhat unable to react.
He lowered his head and took another look at the tiny wounds on his body.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he climbed up from the shell bed, then saw Chu Ci sitting on the coral stool next to him. She was still reading the book in her hand.
She had started reading from the first page last night before he fell asleep, and when she looked at it again this morning, she had already read more than half of the book.
Noticing his movement, Chu Ci looked up at him.
She tilted her head, her back to the gradually brightening light outside the window, looking as if her whole body was glowing, and said, "Awake?"
Because of the light outside, Jiuqi couldn't see the expression on Ci's face clearly, but these slightly gentle words instantly eased the anxiety in his heart.
She truly had no other hostility towards him. Perhaps she simply thought he was pleasing to the eye and obedient, so she pulled him down and stayed with him all night.
Jiuqi's eyes darkened slightly. He knew how to treat those who wanted something from him, and how to face those who harbored ill will towards him, but this was the first time he encountered Chu Ci's attitude, which made him feel a little helpless.
'Jiuxi Love Value +1, currently 10.'
He pursed his lips and responded. Then he saw Chu Ci stand up, and the book in her hand disappeared instantly. The black gauze pajamas on her body swayed slightly, highlighting her exquisite figure. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her lips twitched. "I'm going to catch up on some sleep. There's grilled fish downstairs. You can eat it yourself. I've put the potion on the table next to the bed. You can apply the medicine to your tail later. When I wake up, I'll apply the medicine to your back, okay?"
Jiuqi nodded subconsciously, and then her hair was rubbed by this man again. Then she stood up and left the room.
She must have gone to the laboratory where he went to see her yesterday to catch up on some sleep.
