Lin Yuan quickly explained, "Jin Jin, um, I... I actually..."
Why don't you leave?
"ah?"
Si Jin frowned slightly, thinking that this person had not understood what he said.
Alas, time waits for no one.
It's been over two thousand days since I last saw him, and A Yuan seems to have gone mad.
He repeated himself as clearly as possible: "Why won't you leave even though I opened the door for you? Are you really willing to be turned into a human puppet by me?"
"No, I didn't..."
"Then let's go." Si Jin had a bit of a headache.
He doesn't like to communicate with people, he only talks so much because he's A Yuan.
Anyone else would have refused to see them long ago.
"Did you treat other humanoid puppets like this before?"
Si Jin nodded.
Considering A Yuan's declining IQ, he further explained, "I don't want to harm anyone. These people were forced into this situation, and I will let them go."
"Anyway, it was Chen Yiwei who paid a lot of money to bring you here, so I didn't lose anything. Let him be furious."
Lin Yuan: ...
He was only stunned for a moment, but then he felt much better.
Sure enough, Jinjin is still the same Jinjin; no matter how dark the adversity, she will not choose to give in.
Lin Yuan smiled, stepped forward, considered Si Jin's acceptable range, and slowly, slowly, took her hand: "But I am A Yuan, Jin Jin doesn't need to send A Yuan away."
"Because I know that Jinjin won't really turn me into a puppet."
His voice was extremely gentle: "I went to great lengths to find you, just to protect you, and to do many things together with you."
"I'm already late, how can I leave Jinjin alone?"
Si Jin's hand was held by him, and a warm feeling seeped into her heart. Her slender, fair fingers gradually tightened their grip.
He seemed a little nervous, his small canine tooth on one side gently biting his lower lip.
However, after a long pause, he lost the courage to push A-Yuan away again.
He's so gentle.
He said, "I can't bear to leave you alone."
Si Jin took a step back: "Then... you should find a place to rest yourself."
After saying that, he withdrew his hand, turned around, and closed the door.
Even he himself didn't notice that the moment he accepted Lin Yuan's offer, his eyes, which had been empty for so long, lit up slightly.
… …
Although Si Jin agreed to let him stay.
But Lin Yuan was still uneasy.
The lights in Si Jin's room went out, but through his divine power he could see that Jin Jin was still sitting on the bed, hugging her knees.
Extremely insecure, they shrink themselves into a tiny ball.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, clearly indicating fear, but her face remained expressionless. She was thin and small, and her appearance was heartbreaking.
Why aren't you asleep yet?
Are you afraid of the dark?
Lin Yuan couldn't sit still any longer and got up again, intending to knock on Si Jin's bedroom door.
Afraid of startling people, they simply chose to pick the lock.
The door opened slightly, and although Lin Yuan's movements were very gentle, they still startled Si Jin.
He hurriedly lowered his eyes, abruptly pulled out the long dagger from under his pillow, and instantly pointed it at the newcomer.
The cold blade was pointed directly at his Adam's apple. Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then curved his lips into a smile: "Great, Jin Jin can even protect herself."
By the moonlight, Si Jin was able to see who it was, and she breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
Slowly sheathing the dagger, she hugged herself again, her voice muffled: "Rule number three for human puppeteers: no one may share a room with a puppeteer late at night, how could you..."
As they were talking, Lin Yuan gently hugged her small body from behind.
The man's chest was very warm, which made Si Jin feel uncomfortable for a moment, and she trembled involuntarily.
Yet, suppressing her panic, she remained obediently still.
He let Lin Yuan pull him into his arms, and let Lin Yuan's hand slowly grasp his hand.
The next moment, a deep and gentle voice sounded from above: "I guessed that Jinjin couldn't sleep, so I came over and sang you a lullaby."
“I… can sing it myself,” Si Jin said stubbornly.
"Oh? Then sing a song."
"The stars in the sky weep, the roses on the ground wither, the cold wind blows, the cold wind blows, and no one comes to keep me company..."
"No, you sang it wrong." Lin Yuan's eyes were deep as he suppressed his heartache and corrected the person in his arms.
"A lullaby should be a song with a dark sky hanging low and bright stars accompanying you."
"Jin'er, sleep, Jin'er, I'll keep you company."
