Although this was merely a world created by the author, she found that in many plotlines not yet written by the author, everyone continued to live vividly within it.
To her, it was just a world, but to the people here, it was not!
She suddenly felt a pang of sadness. This person in front of her was also a living human being! Lying before her like this, and just last night, he had...
A sense of desolation washed over her. She was merely a soul here, not even possessing this body as her own!
Xie Jing opened his eyes to see the distressed expression on the woman in his arms. He assumed her emotions stemmed from regret after realizing what had transpired between them the previous night.
His initial excitement was suddenly replaced by anger, and his heart sank, filled with a sharp pain.
He hadn't felt pain in a long time. It wasn't that he was numb, but rather that he had endured so much pain since childhood that it no longer mattered. Yet, a throbbing ache in his chest now reminded him that he was truly hurting.
He squeezed her waist hard. Qin Jiujiu cried out in pain. Her already aching waist was now doubly burdened, and she felt she might not be able to stand.
Below her abdomen, she also felt a tearing pain. This sensation continuously stimulated her nerves, and images suddenly flashed through her mind.
Her face flushed. She dared not look at the person above her, nor did she dare to move carelessly, lest she accidentally touch something she shouldn't.
The places where their skin touched now burned, reminding her of her awkward predicament. She curled up, as if trying to distance herself from him.
Xie Jing's anger boiled over, and he suddenly chuckled. He intentionally tightened his embrace, pulling her even closer. Qin Jiujiu stiffened, like a corpse.
Xie Jing laughed even more intensely. He suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered, "Miss Qin, what is your name?"
"No..." She had intended to pretend not to hear. How could she answer this question? But he suddenly bit her ear gently, startling her. She cried out, "What are you doing?"
Xie Jing put on a wronged expression and looked at her. "I thought you had fallen asleep again..."
He could say such things. Qin Jiujiu was somewhat annoyed, but her survival instinct prevented her from getting angry. She could only try to negotiate with Xie Jing, "Can you let me go first?"
Xie Jing did not answer, nor did he release her.
The person behind her was as quiet as if asleep. Qin Jiujiu suddenly looked up, only to meet his gaze. He smirked wickedly and said, "Do you remember how you wrapped your arms around my neck last night and kissed me?"
Qin Jiujiu immediately reached out to cover his mouth. She felt that if she wasn't quick enough, she would hear more obscenities from him.
Unexpectedly, her palm felt a tickle!
She quickly withdrew her hand as if she had touched something incredibly forbidden.
She looked at him, only to find him looking back at her with a faint smile.
"I don't remember anything..." As soon as she finished speaking, she guiltily lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Is that so? In that case, since you're feeling refreshed now, why don't... I help you remember?"
He spoke as if he truly intended to act, and Qin Jiujiu's heart sank. She quickly exclaimed, "No need! I remember Sister Bai needs me for something!"
As she spoke, she tried to pry his arm from her waist. It was clear he wasn't using much force. With a slight push, his arm moved away from her waist.
Feeling the restraint around her waist loosen, she immediately rolled towards a cooler spot, but dared not let go of the blanket, thus not daring to stray too far from him.
This scoundrel, could it be that the moment she mentioned the female lead, he immediately let go? She suddenly wanted to know the answer!
Qin Jiujiu turned her head to look at him. He no longer had any trace of playfulness on his face. He was now sitting up as if nothing had happened. She saw his upper body as well.
The truth seemed to be laid bare before her. Last night's events were perhaps just a momentary impulse. Looking at his reaction now, the moment Bai Qianluo was mentioned, he had reverted to his usual self, with no hint of his earlier demeanor.
She didn't know how she felt, only that her breathing was somewhat difficult, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in her chest, making it hard to breathe.
She turned away, forcefully suppressing the feelings in her heart.
I'm a modern person, this kind of thing is nothing! It's just a one-night stand, no big deal! I'll be beautiful on my own from now on!
Her clothes lay on the floor. She couldn't reach them at all now, so she could only huddle under the covers, waiting for Xie Jing to leave first.
The space beside her suddenly became lighter; Xie Jing must have stood up. Qin Jiujiu dared not look at him, only listening quietly to the sounds nearby.
Xie Jing didn't know why, but the moment he heard Bai Qianluo's name, he felt a shift within him. It was as if all the passion from moments before had vanished, and his feelings for the person in his arms had changed.
He picked up the clothes scattered on the floor and looked at Qin Jiujiu. A dull ache arose in his heart, making him feel that he shouldn't treat her this way, but a voice in his mind kept correcting him.
He felt restless. Looking at the fluffy little head, he became agitated. He threw all the clothes onto her and immediately left the room.
He needed to calm his thoughts!
Qin Jiujiu felt the clothes covering her head and was stunned for a long moment. By the time the footsteps grew farther away, the door seemed to have opened, paused, and then closed.
She still hadn't moved!
But the sourness that welled up in her nose became more intense. She suddenly missed home, missed going back...
Finish the mission quickly and go back!
She silently convinced herself, and then returned to her usual demeanor. After all, she didn't like the villain anyway! She would just treat everything that happened last night as a dream!
System: Detected that the villain's emotions are highly unstable! Warning! Villain's emotions are highly unstable! World anomaly detected...
Qin Jiujiu tidied herself up, quietly opened a sliver of the door, confirmed there was no one outside, and then quickly slipped out.
As soon as she returned to the courtyard where she lived, she saw Liu Jin's figure appearing at her door, as if waiting for her.
She calmed her heart and walked over with a composed expression, calling out, "Sister Ajin!"
Liu Jin had knocked on her door for a long time without an answer. Now she had returned from outside, and was still wearing yesterday's clothes. She asked doubtfully, "Did you just go out?"
Qin Jiujiu steadied her emotions and replied, "I woke up early today, so I went out for a walk..." Seeing Liu Jin staring at her, she continued, "I haven't changed my clothes from yesterday yet. I was just about to go back and change..."
Liu Jin didn't dwell on the truthfulness of her words anymore. She said excitedly, "Let's go horseback riding together today! My brother is coming too!"
Liu Qi?
