Before long, several small hickeys were left on her collarbone.
Xie Linyuan suppressed his emotions until Si Jin finished kissing him, then picked him up and, without a word, sealed the little rabbit's lips with his own.
Si Jin didn't know when she was carried back to bed.
All I knew was that by the time I realized what was happening, my drooping rabbit ears had already touched the pillow.
The boy's eyes sparkled as he whispered seductively, "Your ears aren't dry yet, they'll...wet your pillowcase."
"It's alright." Xie Linyuan's eyes were bright and his voice was gentle: "Anyway, we'll change all the pillowcases and bedding tomorrow."
As night deepened, the bright moon gradually moved to the center of the night sky, reflecting the countless stars.
Si Jin's eyes had turned red without her noticing, and she stared blankly at the starry sky outside.
"Ah Yuan...I...I'm sleepy..."
"Jinjin, did you see the moon?" Xie Linyuan held his hands, leaned close to his ear, and gently coaxed him, "Isn't the moon right in the center of the night sky, neither to the east nor to the west?"
"Um……"
“So now, it’s just past midnight.” He pinched Si Jin’s chin, kissed her again, and reminded her meaningfully, “Just, past, half.”
It took Si Jin a while to understand what Xie Linyuan meant.
So, either way is fine.
… …
The next day, Si Jin didn't wake up until four o'clock in the afternoon.
He lazily opened his eyes and saw that the curtains were tightly closed all around, and the room was still lit by a dim nightlight.
I reminded him of the time when Xiao Yao activated the pain shield.
Si Jin tried to move, and finally managed to lean against the headboard, just as Xie Linyuan pushed the door open and walked in.
"Jinjin, you're awake? Are you thirsty? Hungry? Is anything bothering you?"
Si Jin only replied "thirsty" and received a cup of warm water.
After finishing the drink, I casually placed the glass on the bedside table. When I looked away, I noticed something next to the glass... medicine?
He cleared his throat and replied, "You went out to buy medicine?"
"Hmm." Xie Linyuan nodded, his hand wandering to touch the little rabbit's ears, and explained, "The rabbit is quite small, so I bought the best medicine in the city to make you feel better."
"Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
Xie Linyuan pulled the blanket up for him and replied decisively, "I've thought it all out. When Sang Qingyu asks, I'll say that I've disciplined you and that you're willing to join us to save your life. That's why I'm being nice to you and buying some medicine to win you over."
"Then you can ask the Nebula Empire for permission to stay here and work as an undercover agent. Everything will fall into place naturally."
"Oh~" Si Jin said with slight dissatisfaction, "You've thought of everything so thoroughly?"
That's as if to say: You're good to me, but I still have to consider so many things?
"These arrangements were only thought of later." Xie Linyuan felt misunderstood, and held Si Jin's hands with a hint of grievance.
"At the very beginning, I just wanted to buy you medicine. I didn't care about anything else. You even joked with me, asking if I should make it up to you..."
"Compensation?" Si Jin ruthlessly exposed him: "When I was feeling unwell these past few days, why didn't you think of using that as an excuse to buy me medicine?"
Xie Linyuan finally surrendered, a blush silently creeping onto his ears. "Don't you understand what I mean, Jinjin?"
"clear."
"What does Jinjin understand?"
"I understand... I like you." Si Jin said, then gently lifted Xie Linyuan's hand, placed it to her lips, and kissed it lightly.
The flaky texture, along with the sweetness, gradually spread to the depths of my heart.
Xie Linyuan smiled – in the end, he agreed.
Joy quickly filled his heart. Xie Linyuan raised his hand and gently rubbed Si Jin's ear: "I also bought strawberries. I'll go wash them for you now."
"I've placed the exclusive starlight that connects you to the Nebula Empire by your bedside. You can use it whenever you want."
"Um."
Si Jin already had the intention of infiltrating this place, since there were still enemies of the original owner here to kill.
Moreover, this would give him enough time to play the game and destroy Sang Qingyu, who initiated the war and caused widespread suffering on both planets.
… …
In the following days, Si Jin made contact with the Nebula Empire.
While preparing to stay and infiltrate, he also told Xie Linyuan about his plan.
The two of them set off with Sang Qingyu back to the capital to attend his birthday banquet.
But perhaps due to the long journey, Si Jin's appetite has been poor these past few days.
But he was busy day and night with his plans and didn't pay much attention to it.
If I can't eat, I just take a nutritional supplement; the ingredients are the same anyway.
These symptoms lasted only a day before Xie Linyuan noticed something amiss.
Before Si Jin went to sleep, she brought her a glass of water and patiently coaxed her, "Jin Jin, drink some medicine."
Si Jin: ?
"I'm not sick, why should I take medicine?"
