Could it be... that we really are missing a human-shaped cushion?
Si Jin was startled by her own thoughts.
Over the years, he has gotten used to being alone.
One can bear the pain alone, endure the darkness alone, fight back alone, and even fall asleep alone...
He doesn't like to bother others.
A-Yuan is a good person; he doesn't want to be willful or drive people away.
"The dark sky hangs low, accompanied by bright stars."
"Jin'er, sleep, Jin'er, sleep..."
Si Jin sat blankly at the foot of the bed, hugging her knees, trying hard to recall the next line of lyrics.
After thinking for a long time, he still managed to squeeze out a sentence.
"No one came...to...keep me company..."
After finishing the song, I looked up at the moonlight outside and inexplicably felt a little cold.
He didn't realize that it was a sadness that came from his heart; he just stared blankly, wondering what A-Yuan was doing.
Should we... go take a look...?
Si Jin finally broke through her inner defenses, got out of bed, walked to Lin Yuan's door, and knocked.
The people inside were clearly not asleep; they were fully dressed, and the door opened immediately.
The warm-toned nightlight was still on, illuminating the dark living room behind the boy.
Si Jin felt a strange sense of warmth.
"Not asleep?"
Lin Yuan smiled gently: "I'm waiting for Jin Jin to knock on the door. If you don't come soon, I'll have to pick the lock again."
Actually, it was all to wait for Jinjin's emotions to change.
Even though it pains me, I can't just watch Jinjin turn into a puppet.
Si Jin: ...
He didn't know how to respond for a moment, then paused and said, "You shouldn't have sold yourself into being a human puppet."
With skills like yours, you could make a living by burglary.
Si Jin didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Xiao Tianjun keenly sensed it.
Sigh, my wife is complaining about me again.
He asked, "What brings Jinjin here?"
Si Jin lowered her eyes and stared blankly at her toes.
"It's a bit cold, so I came to see if you have a blanket."
"There's only one bed. If you take it, I won't be able to sleep."
"Oh," Si Jin replied, preparing to leave, when Lin Yuan said, "Why don't I sleep at your place?"
“Yes…that’s fine.” Si Jin didn’t agree immediately, but thought for a while before nodding.
In this way, A Yuan probably won't be able to see his true intentions, right?
“But…” Lin Yuan pointed to the white paper pasted on the wall in his room.
The words "Rules for Humanoid Puppets" are neatly written on it.
He said, "The rules say that puppets cannot be in the same room as the puppeteer late at night."
Si Jin: ...
He let out a soft breath, feeling inexplicably irritable.
He took two steps into the room and tore down the white paper that Chen Yiwei had stuck up.
He threw the group-buying sticker into the trash can and stormed out.
Lin Yuan chuckled softly.
The little girl, who suffers from amnesia and is withdrawn, is inexplicably adorable.
He hurriedly followed Si Jin out, afraid that Si Jin would chase him away. Before Si Jin returned to her bedroom, he rushed to Si Jin's room.
So, as soon as the boy came in, he saw the man grinning.
Just as she was about to say something, the other person lowered their head and lightly pecked her lips.
Si Jin's breath hitched, and then her heart skipped a beat.
His hands, slightly calloused, gradually clenched, and his prominent Adam's apple bobbed twice.
"You...you just now..."
"What did I just do?" Lin Yuan smiled gently yet mischievously.
Si Jin didn't speak, but her hands clenched tighter and tighter, and her ears turned red.
"You clearly..."
"If you mean when I kissed you, then I apologize."
Lin Yuan's eyes crinkled into crescents, but his apology was utterly insincere.
After saying that, she obediently placed her arm on Si Jin's pillow.
He exuded an air of aggression, like a wolf lying in wait for its prey.
But the top two buttons of the shirt were undone.
With the slightest movement, her astonishingly perfect figure becomes apparent.
She was both alluring and wild, and her tone was seductive and flirtatious.
"Jinjin, would you like to lean against me and sleep?"
