Chapter 23 The Witchcraft Boy 22
She looked at the bracelet for a while, then put her hand down, hugged the blanket, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
In the dream, Qi Chen asked her with a hurt expression, "Why did you lie to me?"
She was about to apologize when Qi Chen turned cold and terrifying, the Gu worm entering her body. "You can only love me."
Xu Qiuqiu was immediately startled awake.
What's more terrifying than having a nightmare? It's having the nightmare's protagonist right in front of her.
God knows she had just dreamt of Qi Chen, but when she opened her eyes, she saw him sitting right next to her bed.
The faint moonlight shone in through the window, making him feel as if he were in complete darkness. His face was expressionless, and his gaze was cold and unsettling.
If she hadn't had such a strong mental fortitude, she would have jumped up in fright long ago.
His face was cold and stern, and the emotions in his dark eyes were unfathomable. He just kept staring at her as if he wanted to devour her.
For some reason, Xu Qiuqiu remained calmer in moments like these. She feigned a dazed look, as if she had just woken up, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Achen..."
Then her eyes cleared a little more, and she said dejectedly, "It must be a dream. How could Ah Chen possibly be standing in front of me..."
Before Qi Chen saw her, a dark thought kept growing wildly in his mind: if he found her again, he would lock her up and make her take responsibility for the things she said.
But when he found her again and saw her sleeping so peacefully, the resentment and bitterness in his heart suddenly subsided a lot. He looked at her deeply and thought that if she woke up and stayed by his side so peacefully, that would be wonderful.
When he heard her call his name, he was touched again. Why did just one sentence break down his defenses?
"Qiuqiu, have you thought about me?" A deep voice sounded.
“Ah Chen…” Xu Qiuqiu heard his voice and sat up in surprise, reaching out to touch his hand.
Upon touching his warm body, she seemed unable to resist throwing herself into his arms. "Ah Chen, it really is you. I thought I was dreaming."
She buried her head in his chest, hugged his waist tightly, and said, "Chen, my senior sister said that Master misses me very much and wants me to go back to see him. Time is too tight, and I haven't even had a chance to tell you. These days, I think about you every day. I thought we would never see each other again."
Xu Qiuqiu silently apologized to herself, "I'm sorry, senior sister, I have no choice but to sell you."
When she woke up, she saw him staring at her, and she was so scared that she almost flew out of her skin. If she hadn't been quick-witted and acted first, he would have really put a curse on her and she would have been finished.
She had never heard of a "love-obsessed curse," but the thought of an insect entering her body and controlling her mind was terrifying.
When she hugged him like that, his heart, which had been tormented by pain and riddled with wounds, was suddenly warmed, and he hugged her back with great affection.
He couldn't see her expression, so he could lie to himself that what she said was true, that she was thinking of him too, and that she had never thought of leaving him.
I felt incredibly pathetic, but only by thinking that way could I feel a little better. As long as she was by my side, it didn't matter if she was a fake.
But will she really stay by his side forever?
Thinking of this, his expression turned gloomy again. What should he do?
He gently stroked her hair, his voice deep and resonant, "Qiuqiu, will you always stay by my side?"
"Yes, Achen, I will always be by your side." Xu Qiuqiu answered without any hesitation.
She caters to him in everything; he probably won't try to use his spell on her again, right?
"Okay, Qiuqiu, you can't lie to me this time, or else..." His eyes flashed with a cold light.
Otherwise, he wouldn't give her another chance to lie to him; even if it ruined everything, she had to be with him.
Xu Qiuqiu sensed a threat in his words. Otherwise? Otherwise what? Was he going to use a curse on her again?
She could only despair in her heart. 003 was misleading her, saying that the second male lead was a naive and innocent girl, which is why she approached him. Now she couldn't escape.
In this situation, it would be impossible for her to boost her happiness points with anyone else. She has no doubt that he would kill that guy and then kill her.
She innocently looked up at him, "Achen, when have I ever lied to you?"
"I will always stay by Achen's side."
I lied to her, but as long as she doesn't admit it, then it's not a lie!
Since things have come to this, let's not change the person; we can only try to increase our happiness level with him.
But how do I increase this happiness level? The extra 20% happiness level I got before seems to have come from when he forcibly kissed me a few days ago.
Could kissing increase happiness levels? Her gaze fell on his lips. Should she give him a kiss and see?
As Qi Chen listened to her assurances, the unease that had been spreading wildly in his heart subsided, and his expression softened.
He looked down at her and found her staring blankly at his lips, lost in thought.
His face flushed slightly, a blush spreading across his cheeks, but a sense of anticipation welled up within him. "Qiuqiu, do you want to kiss me?"
Xu Qiuqiu snapped out of her daze upon hearing his words, looked up at his face, and at that moment he looked weak and vulnerable.
Tsk, the transition from the dark side to the innocent side is too fast. Just a moment ago, he looked like he was about to kill someone, and now he looks gentle and innocent.
Is this the same person? She wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes; this person has two faces.
But she had to admit that he seemed quite easy to coax, and thinking about it that way, she wasn't so afraid of him anymore.
Qi Chen looked at the girl in front of him, but she didn't respond immediately. His face began to darken again.
Didn't you say you liked him? Why don't you want to kiss him?
Or was he mistaken? She wasn't looking at him anymore; instead, she was lost in thought, wondering who she was thinking about?
"Qiuqiu, what are you thinking about?" Qi Chen pinched her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.
His cold fingers touched her chin. Xu Qiuqiu watched as his gaze gradually turned cold. She felt a headache coming on. How could he change like this again after only a short while?
"I'm thinking about Achen. Even though Achen is right beside me, I'm still thinking about you." She lowered her eyes and said in a sweet voice.
Sure enough, the pressure on her fingers loosened considerably, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, her waist was pulled tighter, and Qi Chen lifted her body up slightly. He lowered his head and bit her lip as if to punish her.
"Little liar."
"Hiss..." Xu Qiuqiu winced in pain, but then she noticed that his gaze had softened considerably.
Qi Chen looked at the girl whose lips were red from being bitten, and his mood improved considerably. "Qiuqiu, are you sleepy?"
"I'm sleepy, I'm sleepy." Xu Qiuqiu immediately squinted her eyes to indicate that she was very sleepy and didn't want to deal with him anymore.
Then she was pushed down onto the bed, and the boy in front of her stared intently at her.
"What do you want to do?" Xu Qiuqiu's heart clenched again.
