Close your eyes
When Xixi was being dragged into the car by Gu Tinglan by the collar, she struggled to pull out her phone and quickly sent a message to Xiyin:
-Xixi: [I was caught! I can't go! (Kitten crying.jpg)]
After sending it, she leaned on the car window to look out, and happened to meet Xi Yin's meaningful gaze not far away.
Xi Yin leaned against the streetlight, a slender mint cigarette between his fingers, his red lips slightly curled, and he blinked at her, his expression as if to say -
"I knew it."
Xixi was about to open her mouth to protest when Gu Tinglan slammed the car door shut, blocking her view.
She shrunk back into her seat angrily, her tail slapping the leather seat in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing! Let me say hello to them first."
Gu Tinglan fastened his seat belt, put one hand on the steering wheel, and glanced at her sideways: "Are you sure you want to discuss this with me?"
Xixi: “…”
Thinking about how she was the one who broke the appointment and yet she still used him as an excuse, Xixi couldn't help feeling guilty.
She shrank her neck guiltily and lowered her head to poke at her phone.
-Xixi: [Gu Tinglan is so fierce! (Angry Cat Fist.jpg)]
-Xixi: [I didn't ask you to pick me up. I was going to go find you because I missed you so much, but I suddenly couldn't go and didn't have time to tell you. Anyway, I'm sorry!]
Xi Yin's message came back quickly:
Xi Yin: [Oh? Were you really forced not to come? Then why are you still smiling so happily?]
Xixi was stunned and subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth——
It's really going up.
She looked up suddenly and met Gu Tinglan's gaze in the rearview mirror.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and then he returned to his cold expression: "Sit down and go home."
Outside the car window, Xi Yin looked at the car going away, gently exhaled a puff of smoke, and smiled with a doting and helpless look.
——You little piece of trash, you’re obviously enjoying it.
Well, it was a wasted trip.
But... she is very smart when it comes to finding food. I will have to ask her for advice someday.
"Did you beat up those people in the alley?" Gu Tinglan suddenly asked.
"Huh?" The topic had changed so much that Xixi didn't react for a moment. "Why? Can't we fight?"
Mistaking him for a lecture, Xixi angrily said, "But it was clearly them who had evil intentions first."
Hearing this, Gu Tinglan slowed down his pace and softened his tone, "That's not what I meant."
"You injured them, but you didn't suffer any backlash?"
"No." Xixi could sense that he wasn't blaming her, so she explained obediently, "After all, I'm a succubus. Although we can't actively hurt others, we can passively defend ourselves."
After getting the answer, Gu Tinglan felt relieved instantly. It seemed that she had the ability to protect herself.
After returning home, Gu Tinglan called Yi Qiao and asked her to deal with the people in the alley.
After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at Xixi, and the corners of his mouth raised up an imperceptible arc. He walked over and sat next to her.
"Want to go to the amusement park?"
"Where?" Xixi's eyes lit up, she knelt on the sofa, and moved quickly towards Gu Tinglan, "Do you mean you want to take me out to play?!"
"Okay, okay."
Gu Tinglan put his hand on her forehead, forced a smile, and said casually, "Isn't it just going out to play? Why are you so excited?"
"Of course. Before, I had no spiritual power and no mood to play. Now that you are by my side, it is completely different."
"What's the difference?" Gu Tinglan raised his eyebrows.
"With you by my side, I have an endless supply of spiritual power. I don't need to understand the rules. As long as you understand them, that's all."
"You trust me so much? Then I can't let you down." Gu Tinglan put his hand on Xixi's head and touched it gently. There was a smile in his voice and he was filled with joy as if he had found a treasure.
Early one weekend morning, Xixi was still curled up in bed, half asleep, when she felt someone pinching her cheek.
"Get up." Gu Tinglan's voice fell from above his head, with his usual coldness, "If you sleep any longer, I won't go."
Xixi suddenly opened her eyes, her red pupils shining shockingly bright in the morning light: "Amusement park?!"
Gu Tinglan had already changed, his black shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing a well-defined forearm. He stood by the bed with one hand in his pocket, looking down at her messy hair and frizzy hair, his lips curling up slightly. "Ten minutes, no more."
Xixi jumped up and rushed to the bathroom barefoot, but Gu Tinglan grabbed her collar and pulled her back: "Put on your shoes."
"Oh!" She casually put on her slippers, ran two steps, and suddenly turned back, standing on tiptoe and giving him a kiss on the cheek, "Gu Tinglan, you're the best!"
Gu Tinglan froze in place, his ears instantly burning. By the time he came to his senses, the culprit had slipped into the bathroom, humming a tuneless song.
"...Idiot." He cursed under his breath, but raised his hand to touch the place that had just been kissed.

The amusement park was crowded with people. Xixi was like a happy little animal, pulling Gu Tinglan's sleeve and looking around.
"Gu Tinglan! Marshmallow"
"Gu Tinglan! Ferris wheel!"
"Gu Tinglan! That haunted house looks so interesting!"
"You know so much, have you done your homework?" Gu Tinglan was annoyed by her noise, but still let her drag him around.
"Of course I checked on my phone to see what fun things there are to do in the amusement park." Xixi pouted, looking proud and waiting for praise.
"Really? Then I'll leave it to you today. You take me out to play."
Gu Tinglan was dragged along by Xixi until they stood at the door of the haunted house. He then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure?"
Xixi puffed out her chest proudly: "I'm a succubus! How could I be afraid of ghosts?"
"Besides, ghosts are illusory and ethereal. I've never seen one before. Even if I did, they wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat me."
It turned out that not only was she not afraid, she was actually having a lot of fun.
Under the dim green light, the staff member dressed as a ghost suddenly jumped out of the coffin, uttering a shrill scream—
"Wa ...
Screams suddenly rang out in the haunted house.
Gu Tinglan subconsciously reached out to grab Xixi, but saw her tilting her head to look at the "zombie" and even poking the special effects makeup on the other person's face: "The color of your blood plasma is wrong, it's not very pure."
Zombie: “……?”
Gu Tinglan: “…”
Gu Tinglan reluctantly dragged her away, but as soon as he turned around, Xixi slipped near another group of tourists. Taking advantage of the dim light, she quietly revealed her devil horns and tail, and suddenly poked her head out from behind the mirror.
“Ahhhh there’s a ghost!!” The couple was already scared, and without even seeing clearly, they ran away in fear, and their phone fell to the ground with a “click”.
Xixi happily picked up her phone and ran after them: "Hey! Yours..."
"Miss!" The boy took the phone in shock, but his eyes lit up when he saw Xixi's face. "Was that your cosplay just now? So cool! Can I add you on WeChat?"
"Do you think I'm worthless? You're asking for someone's WeChat ID right in front of me." The boy's girlfriend suddenly shook his hand off and angrily slapped him in the face. "Let's break up, you scumbag!"
Before Xixi could react, a bony hand came in and pushed the phone back into the boy's hand.
"No." Gu Tinglan stood in front of her with a cold face, his voice as cold as ice.
The boy was frightened by his eyes and shuddered, chasing after his girlfriend. Xixi tiptoed over Gu Tinglan's shoulder and waved at their backs: "Bye~"
She tugged at the corner of Gu Tinglan's clothes from behind, blinking her eyes, and asked, "If you make me angry, can I be like that girl?"
"What's wrong?" Gu Tinglan's gloomy expression had not yet disappeared, and his voice was also cold.
Xixi immediately admitted her fear, "No, nothing." Then she immediately smiled and moved closer, "How could I be so rude to you, right?"
She thought the matter was over, but the next second, she was pinched by the waist and pressed against the wall.
The dim green light of the haunted house reflected on Gu Tinglan's chiseled face, making it look strangely dangerous. He leaned in, his warm breath whispering in her ear: "Are you very happy?"
Sissy's tail unconsciously wrapped around his wrist and she blinked, "Are you angry?"
Gu Tinglan didn't answer, but just rubbed her thumb heavily across the fingertips that the boy had touched just now: "If you run around again, we will go back now, and you can forget about playing anymore."
Xixi was about to protest when the radio suddenly sounded: "Attention, all visitors, the haunted house surveillance shows that an unidentified creature has appeared. It is now temporarily closed..."
The two looked at each other.
Xixi: “…”
Gu Tinglan: “…”
"Let's go out." He grabbed her wrist and walked out.
Xixi trotted after him, her tail quietly hooked around his pinky finger: "Then... can I still ride the Ferris wheel?"
Gu Tinglan didn't even turn his head: "It depends on your performance."
In the setting sun, the shadows of the two people overlapped tightly. Xixi looked at their clasped hands and suddenly felt——
It seems like the feeling of being controlled is not bad?
Before returning, Gu Tinglan took her on the Ferris wheel.
The carriage slowly ascended, revealing the entire amusement park's lights. Xixi leaned against the glass, her nose almost touching it. "So beautiful!"
Gu Tinglan leaned back in his seat, his eyes fixed on her: "Well, very beautiful."
Xixi turned around and met his gaze.
The air suddenly became quiet.
When the carriage reached its highest point, Gu Tinglan suddenly reached out and wiped the marshmallow residue at the corner of her mouth with his thumb: "It's stained."
His fingertips were very hot, and Xixi licked her lips unconsciously, and the tip of her tongue accidentally rubbed against his fingers.
The two of them froze at the same time.
Gu Tinglan's eyes suddenly deepened, and his Adam's apple rolled: "Xixi."
"Um?"
"Close your eyes."
"Why?"
Gu Tinglan didn't answer, his lips getting closer and closer to her. Xixi seemed to have noticed something and suddenly asked, "Do you want to kiss me?"
Hearing this, Gu Tinglan stood up suddenly, turned his head away, and said stubbornly, "No."
"You're lying. I just saw it with my own eyes. You just wanted to kiss me."
"...Didn't I tell you to close your eyes?" Gu Tinglan licked his lips subconsciously and touched his slightly hot earlobe.
"I closed my eyes, but we succubi can see even with our eyes closed." Xixi tilted her head and explained to him innocently.
