At night, after tidying up everything, Ling Shiliu was about to go to bed. Just as he lifted the blanket, he heard a soft knock on the door.
He sighed quietly. He didn't need to ask to know who would disturb him at this time.
"Come in, Ain."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ain, who was wearing thin pajamas, pushed open the door and ran in with a happy expression.
"You should at least put on a robe before coming over!”
Ling Shiliu looked at his pajamas that were so light that they seemed to be weightless. He let out a sigh of relief. His tone was more loving than reproachful. He got up and let the smiling Ain roll into his blanket.
"It's just next door.”She buried her face in his pillow and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Even if it's next door, there's still some distance. You know that there's wind in the corridor!”
"I'm not that weak!" He lowered his head and protested in dissatisfaction.
Usually, servants or bodyguards would live in the independent building in front of the main house, except for Ling Shiliu. This was all because of Ain's persistence and stubbornness. Ling Shiliu, who was originally living freely in the building, was forced to move to the room next door because of Ain's bad habit of throwing herself into other people's beds.
Perhaps this was another way for Ain to express her desire for the warmth of others! Other than leaning on Ling Shiliu and hugging him, the most common thing he did was to invade his room like a commando in the dead of night and then naturally sleep beside him.
"But your body is cold, isn't it?”After touching his hand to make sure it was cold, Ling Shiliu quickly pulled the blanket over his shoulders.
"Then don't keep nagging. Hurry up and come up. Wouldn't I not be cold if the blanket is warm?”
Looking at Ling Shiliu, who was busy stuffing himself into the blanket, but was still busy at the bedside, Ai Yin couldn't help but urge him with dissatisfaction.
"I have to prepare a coat or robe for you first, in case you catch a cold when you get up tomorrow morning!”
"No need, come over quickly!”He curled up under the blanket and looked at Ling Shiliu, who had already walked to the door, with displeasure.
Ain couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and let out an extremely helpless sigh. Ling ran her fingers through the hair hanging in front of her eyes and scratched the back of her neck. She had no choice but to turn around and walk back to the bed.
In the end, he could only obey Ain's willfulness.
"Yes, yes, I understand, Young Master Ain.”
"Don't call me that! You knew I would be angry!" Her deep green eyes were burning with a faint anger, and her eyebrows were slightly raised.
"Alright, Ain, you have to go to sleep quickly. Otherwise, if you get angry and get pimples, I'll be nagged by Miss Barton.”
As Ain's bodyguard and attendant, he had the obligation to take care of and supervise her daily life.
"Annoying! Don't mention her! Not only was she nagging, but she was also very annoying.”Ai Yin, who had been feeling awkward because of Ling Shiliu, frowned when she heard him mention her manager. She looked like a beautiful girl but had the heroic spirit of a teenager.
"What's wrong?" Ling Shiliu was surprised to see Ain's expression.
He reached out to turn off the light and walked back to the bed under the faint starlight that shone through the window. Before he could sit on the bed, he was pressed down by Ain, who pounced on him in a spurt of energy.
"Move over a little, Ain. Otherwise, do you want me to sleep under the bed?”
After listening to his teasing complaints, Ain reluctantly shifted her center of gravity a little so that he could adjust her position, but she still stuck to him like a piece of candy.
"Ai Yin!"
"What does it matter!" Putting on a determined look that he would never leave even if he was beaten to death, he used both his hands and feet to entangle Ling Shiliu.
"Really!" Ling Shiliu could only shake his head dotingly, then let Ain wrap herself around him like an octopus.
Looking out of the tightly shut window, the increasingly strong wind outside the house blew the leaves of the trees. The swaying leaves patted the closed glass window, and a faint rustling sound entered the room.
He pulled the fluffy blanket over himself and Ain, who was next to him, and moved slightly to make Ain more comfortable.
" It's so warm…" Ain murmured, getting closer to him.
He liked a bed that was flowing far more than his own cold and luxurious big bed.
"What did Miss Barton say or do to provoke you?”Ling Shiliu let Ain lean on his shoulder and continued the conversation.
" Um…" He glanced at him." No."”
"No? But weren't you complaining about her just now?”
"I just hate it when she keeps pestering you and talking nonsense. She even takes you for granted.”
To put it bluntly, it was just a child's desire to monopolize, right? Ling Shiliu laughed.
"We're discussing something related to you. She's your manager, and I'm your attendant and bodyguard. There are many things that need to be communicated and coordinated.”
"I don't want you to be my attendant or bodyguard. I want you to be my family!”
"Ain-"
"Only family can be together forever, right?”
"A servant or bodyguard can always accompany you!”
"That's different!"
Ain's sudden reaction surprised Ling Shiliu. He lowered his head to look at her determined expression, not understanding when this topic had become so serious.
"How is it different?"
"Different means different!"
"The more you talk, the more confused I become." He could not help but frown.
To suddenly say something like this didn't mean that it was difficult for the listener to guess the riddle.
"Anyway, I said it's different!" Pursing her lips, Ain buried her face in his arm.
Sighing silently, he pulled the blanket that had been warmed by their bodies high to cover Ain's fair neck that was exposed due to the change in position. Ling Shiliu felt him shrink back and lean closer to him.
"Alright, if you say it's different, then it's different.”If she continued to argue with him, she was afraid that she would not get a result even by dawn.
"But we've got to get some sleep now, okay?”
A ball of soft black hair buried in his arm moved. A pair of clear green eyes finally gave in and looked at him. She nodded, then shrank back to her original position and remained still.
After a while, a steady breath came from the milky white bed. In the dead of night, everyone in the room should have fallen asleep, but a shadow suddenly moved slightly on the bed. After confirming that the other person was deep asleep, he moved closer to the shadow and lowered his head. The two shadows that should have been lying side by side overlapped, but before anyone could notice, he quickly left.
Leaning on the shoulder of the stalwart man who was breathing evenly beside her, Ayin opened her beautiful green eyes, staring straight at Ling Shiliu who was peacefully sleeping.
How long had it been?
How long had it been since he 'attacked' him at night like this?
He pretended to be a child who was still grumpy and needed others to care for him. He was using every opportunity to get close to her. He could openly show his jealousy because he would only treat it as a child's possessiveness. He could also hug him in public and act intimate because he would still treat him as a child who craved for others to spoil him.
Taking advantage of the fact that no matter what he did, he would not arouse his suspicion, he was even used to sneaking into his bed and kissing him secretly as if no one was around.
What would this man, who had always treated her as a spoiled child, think if he knew that he was always ambushed in his sleep?
The corners of her beautiful lips curled into a bitter smile, and Ain felt an indescribable bitterness rise from the bottom of her stomach.
What was the use of God's grace, violin angels, music elves, and so on? Even though he had these titles given by the world, he still could not obtain the most ordinary happiness of ordinary people.
Her gaze was fixated on the man who was exhaling steadily, and it was filled with obsession and pain. Her deep green eyes were covered with a mature charm that was usually not easily revealed.
His heart involuntarily tightened when he saw the person he loved the most. His calculative gaze cunningly and sadly swept across the man's sleeping body.
If the God in people's eyes could have given birth to him as a daughter instead of giving him the talent to play the violin, he would be thousands of times more grateful to him than he was now!
If she was a girl, he could openly and openly woo her without any worldly obstacles. She did not have to worry about whether she would be despised and alienated by him if she was discovered by him one day, or even avoid him from now on.
Ever since Ling Shiliu came to this house, he suddenly found that the practice that he hated to the core in the past had become relaxed and happy. As long as he thought about how he liked playing the violin, the boring performance that was originally just to make the adults around him quiet became one of the happiest things in his life.
He had never thought that playing the violin was anything special, nor had he ever understood what other people meant by the so-called grace of God. But now, he was very happy that he had this talent, because Ling Shiliu had once said that he liked his violin performance.
When did it start? When did he realize that her feelings for him were no longer pure trust and dependence, but deeper and stronger, but also made her unable to recover from her eternal damnation?
He realized his own feelings, but at the same time, he also let himself fall into the deepest mud.
Playing the role of an innocent child, he knew that only this identity allowed him to act coquettishly to him unscrupulously, and he would receive no resentment and love from him.
Leaning her head on Ling Shiliu's shoulder, Ain prayed that her feelings would never be revealed.
"Hmm…"
Ling Shiliu suddenly let out a soft moan in his sleep, scaring him into closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep, afraid that he would accidentally discover his 'evil doings'.
When he woke up early in the morning, Ling Shiliu realized that he couldn't move.
Ain, who had habitually crawled into his bed to keep warm last night, was now wrapped around him with both her hands and feet. Although she was still asleep, the strength of her entanglement was not small. This scene reminded him of the cute appearance of a koala hugging a tree trunk in a magazine.
Cute as he was, the situation in front of him was not easy to deal with. He wanted to try to get up without waking Ain up, but if he had to pull his hands and feet off his body, it would definitely disturb his sleep. However, if he waited for him to wake up on his own, it would delay his work time.
In a state where he could not have both sides perfectly, he had no choice but to use the gentlest force to try to move Ain's arms and legs away from him.
Inevitably, when Ling Shiliu tried to pull away the octopus-like fingers that were wrapped around her, she was awakened by the feeling of touch.
"Oh…"
He slowly opened his eyes. His eyes, which were still drowsy, could not be fully opened. They only seemed to be half-closed as he vaguely looked at the mature man who was fighting with his hands and feet.
"Ayin?" Ling Shiliu raised his head and noticed that he seemed to have been woken up by his actions, so he called out softly.
Rather than saying that he had woken up, it was better to say that he was in a half-awake state.
Ain opened her eyes slightly and looked at him for a few seconds. Her misty eyes showed that he was still unconscious. Her slightly unfocused pupils blinked and then naturally closed again, but the hands and feet that were wrapped around his body did not show any signs of relaxing.
"Ai Yin!" Ling Shiliu slightly raised his voice and called out to him.
Since she had accidentally woken him up, she might as well wake him up. That way, she could get up and get ready for the day's work.
However, other than that brief moment when Ain's eyes were slightly opened, no matter how he called or shook him, he would lazily ignore him. His small face was buried deeper into his shoulders, and his hands and legs were still tightly attached to his body like strong suction cups.
"Hmm…"
A grunt came from her throat, like the sound a sleepy kitten would make when satisfied. Ain moved slightly, burying her face deep into Ling Shiliu's pajamas.
Sighing quietly, he reached out to stroke Ain's soft and beautiful hair lovingly. He knew that the time he woke up was completely different from his own. Although he said so, he could not be like him because he still had his own responsibilities and work to take on.
"It's fine if you want to continue sleeping, Ain, but how am I supposed to get up if you don't let go?”
She finally managed to change her posture from lying down to sitting up, but Ain, who had thought that she would slide down due to gravity, somehow followed closely behind her. The hands that were hugging his neck were still hanging behind his neck, and the face that was originally buried in his shoulders was pressed against the side of his neck.
"Ain, let go of me."
Ling Shiliu wanted to wake Ain up with his voice, but he realized that it was a waste of time.
Ain, who only had her head exposed, did not listen to him at all. She only moved her head slightly.
Suddenly, a breath blew into his open shirt, tickling the sensitive Ling Shiliu.
"It's very itchy, Ain!"
Ling Shiliu, who was more ticklish due to his higher sensitivity, involuntarily shrank back and gently pushed Ain's shoulder.
The scorching hot air would not only tickle his skin, but it would also directly impact his senses. In the morning when his senses were the most sensitive, Ain's unconscious actions often brought him another reaction.
Although he felt that he was guilty and ashamed, Ling Shiliu could not deny that because of Ain, a strong numbness rushed to his lower body, causing him to gradually enter a state that he should not have.
In order to escape this predicament, he desperately tried to wake up the culprit.
However, not only did Ain not wake up under his urging, but she also clung even tighter to his shirt, which had been pulled open wider. His warm and slightly moist lips moved closer and closer to Ain as he struggled inconspicuously, touching his collarbone from time to time.
Occasionally, when Ain ran over to share the bed with him, she would do something that could easily make people fantasize. However, she believed that she knew his Ling Shiliu better than anyone else, so she thought that he was just sleeping.
"Ai Yin!"
Ling Shiliu finally realized that it would not be good if this situation continued. He roughly pulled the black-haired young man away from him and jumped off the bed.
Sleeping Beauty yawned as if she was finally freed from a curse. She turned her body sideways to face Ling Shiliu, who was busy escaping from the alluring environment.
"What is it!" Slowly opening her stunning emerald eyes, Ain's languid expression was slightly displeased.
He was left alone on the big bed, but he was still leaning lazily against the pillow. He touched the part of his body that had been pushed away, pouted, and complained,"You used so much force, it hurts…"
"Who taught you to sleep so stupidly? I couldn't wake you up no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't ask you to let go, so I had to use a more violent method.”
In order to get to work on time, it was understandable to take a more drastic approach.
She stretched herself in a flat position, her voice still full of sleepiness.
"Of course you don't know anything when you're asleep. You don't know how to be gentle with others either…"
The way he pouted and mumbled was so cute that Ling Shiliu couldn't help but chuckle. Even if he really made him late, as long as he saw his innocent and sweet expression, his anger would have disappeared eight million years ago.
"Yes, yes, I'll try my best to be gentle next time.”After turning around and taking off his pajamas, he said dotingly and began to rummage through the wardrobe for the clothes he wanted to wear today.
"I still want to sleep." Ain continued to act coquettishly.
"Okay, go to sleep. I'll call you again in two hours.”
"Yes." Ain, who should not have woken up so early, responded but did not close her eyes immediately.
Staring at Ling Shiliu's back, the powerful and beautiful aura disturbed his thoughts.
Although he thought that the other party was only rubbing against him because he was unconscious, no one knew better than him that this was his own despicable means.
Relying on Ling Shiliu's love for him, he always tried his best to make use of every opportunity to get close to him. In fact, he was already awake when he tried to pull his hands and feet away, but he pretended to be still sleeping and " touched " him. Anyway, as long as he pushed all the responsibility to sleep, no matter what he did, Liu would not be suspicious or resist.
Other than the "night raid" in the middle of the night, this was the time that made Ain the most excited and ashamed.
Under the frustration of not being able to openly satisfy her own desires, Ain chose countless times when she could rely on Ling Shiliu's love for her and act recklessly.
However, if he occasionally satisfied his desires like this, one day, he would definitely be unable to take it anymore and make an irreparable mistake.#
