He raised his hand and lifted the top of the shell bed a little more, then pressed Jiuxi, who was a little confused and wanted to swim out, back by the shoulders.
"The medicine hasn't fully taken effect yet. You should sleep a little longer. I'll come up and change the medicine for you later. The wound on your back is quite serious. You need to rest for a few days."
Chu Ci raised her hand and half-closed the shell bed. Jiuqi looked at Chu Ci through the gap in the shell bed.
Chu Ci's expression was still indifferent, but with a serious air. When that face made this expression, there was an indescribable affinity between the coldness and beauty.
Looking at Chu Ci's green eyes, Jiuqi responded reluctantly after a while.
The tail patted the edge of the shell bed lightly. Because it had not experienced adulthood and was probably not very old, its face looked as if it had not fully grown up and had a bit of childishness, but the embryonic form of the mermaid's charm could already be seen.
The face was delicate and slightly pale, with rosy lips, and the aqua blue hair behind her swayed in the water, with a bit of charm and seduction, but the expression was simple and a little scared.
There was a hint of comfort in Chu Ci's eyes.
Jiuxi paused for a moment, then lay down obediently in the shell bed, but he didn't close his eyes. He looked at Chu Ci through the gap until Chu Ci closed the shell bed completely.
In this narrow space, there were only three or two small pearls emitting a faint glow. The innocence on Jiuqi's face slowly faded away. With a hint of thought in his eyes, he lowered his eyes to glance at his hands, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly to the side. This expression made his face, which was already enough to charm everyone, even more seductive.
"Great Witch..."
He whispered, tilted his head, rested his head on the pillow in the shell bed, sniffed the faint fragrance on the bed that did not belong to him, curled his lips again, then closed his deep blue eyes, letting the effect of the medicine pull him into sleep.
After Chu Ci prepared the potion again, he came to the shell bed after a while.
Jiuqi was probably really fast asleep, without any movement at all.
Chu Ci raised her hand and knocked gently on the side of the shell bed. When she heard no movement inside, she raised her hand and lifted the top of the shell bed a little.
The little mermaid lying on the shell bed was sleeping soundly with her arms as a pillow. Her fair little face still had a bit of paleness from being sick. Her eyes were tightly closed and her delicate brows were wrinkled, as if she was having a nightmare.
Chu Ci raised her hand and patted his cheek lightly.
As soon as he touched her, he opened his deep blue eyes that were almost black, and looked at Chu Ci in front of him, with a dazed look in his eyes.
Chu Ci slid from his cheek to his hair. The aqua blue hair felt great to the touch, slightly cool and a little smooth.
Chu Ci couldn't help but play with it around her fingertips.
This action seemed a little too intimate for him. He looked at the movements of Chu Ci's hands, looking a little at a loss. His beautiful eyes blinked, and a bit of innocence appeared in his dark eyes.
Chu Ci also curled her lips and let go of his hair, "Get up and change the medicine."
He seemed stunned for a moment, his eyes subconsciously fell on Chu Ci's fingertips, he pursed his lips slightly, and sat up obediently.
