NOVEL WEB Chapter 48: Bedtime Story
"Phew... delicious curry!"
Erina patted her bulging belly and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
"Yi Xing, thank you for your hard work! I'll reward you by helping me to explore the world of dumplings for a while."
"Yes." Yi Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But this is not a reward. It's all about liver."
"Being able to play with cute dumplings is of course a reward?" Erina left her phone on the dining table: "Has the bath water been put away?"
"Of course, Miss."
"Okay, then I'm going to take a shower!" Erina got off the chair and stretched her waist: "I exercised so hard today! I ran more steps than I did during the entire holiday."
"You ran less than four hundred meters! Not even one lap!"
After the eldest lady took a bath, she watched animation for a while and then played games.
Yoshiyuki played with her after the activities, and reminded Erina at 11:30 pm that it was time to cast spells, pray, and secure the seal of the Underworld Gate, and then went to bed.
"Huh? It's only this time, it's not necessary." Erina was very reluctant: "I will secure the seal, but you have to go to bed after half past two, right? I don't want to go to bed so early."
"Miss, we have to deal with Shuten Doji tomorrow." Yoshiyuki tried to find this excuse to persuade her to go to bed early.
However, Erina was not fooled. She complained that by the time the store opened and Shuten Doji heard the news and went to buy some alcohol and drink it, the sun would be high in the sky. There is absolutely no need to get up early.
This is indeed the case, so Yi Xing really can't persuade him.
He can only play games with Erina - he can participate in local online games, but he can only watch single-player games on the side.
Yoshiyuki didn't even buy his own game console.
Because those games cannot be played locally, the two often take turns.
Or, just watching the eldest lady play and constantly communicating with her about the game content - Erina likes to have Yoshiyuki watch, she said that it makes it more interesting and full of accomplishment.
Whether you play badly and are criticized, or you perform wonderful operations and are praised, it becomes very interesting because you have friends by your side.
Of course, Yi Xing also thinks so.
Now, he was sitting on the sofa, watching the wolf on TV fighting with his adoptive father.
Erina, who was in charge of all this, was sitting in his arms, completely placing her weight on Yoshiyuki.
Holding Erina like this, it was difficult for him to not react at all.
Even if he suppressed the urge temporarily, he would soon be distracted by the soft touch of the young lady's body and the delicious fragrance.
His mind told him no. Take hold.
But no matter how strong the concentration is, the brain cannot control every part of the body. He could only divert his thoughts and forcefully focus as much on the game as possible, hoping to lessen his natural reaction.
The eldest lady must have felt something strange, but she was as gentle as ever and did not expose Yi Xing's self-esteem. She was still playing games excitedly and shouting this.
"Yi Xing, we were just in danger! I almost missed it!"
"Miss, don't dodge that move just now. If you block it, it will hit you hard."
"All I have left is my bloody skin! If I can't stop it, I'll die - Wow! I'm distracted!"
Looking at the word "death" on the screen, the eldest lady let out a mournful cry.
Yoshiyuki had to remind her that although they were the only ones in the house and there was no need to worry about being discovered by the Yitian tribe, shouting like this in the middle of the night would disturb the neighbors.
Erina realized she was wrong, so she said "oh" and promised to pay attention next time.
"You can't help it." Erina chuckled and said, "The world between two people is so exciting, it's so easy to relax."
Yi Xing understands this deeply.
Ever since he came to this city full of desires with the eldest lady, he has also found that it has become particularly difficult for him to control his desires.
However, he finally endured it.
He was very grateful for the eldest lady's gentleness and kindness.
If she hadn't pretended not to notice, he would have found it difficult to face her.
This is not what the so-called white lies are.
After finishing the ceremony, the eldest lady played until four in the morning before going to bed at Yi Xing's urging.
Before going to bed, she still reluctantly pulled Yi Xing and said she wanted to hear Yi Xing tell a story.
"Miss, how old are you to listen to bedtime stories?" Yoshiyuki rubbed her little head and asked with a smile.
"Anyway, I just have to listen." Erina hugged his waist and smiled: "If you don't say anything, I won't let you leave? If you don't want to share a bed with me, just tell me a story! Well, Although this bed is quite big.”
Ah, what? Is it so cool?
Should I flatly refuse to tell stories?
Yoshiyuki suddenly had a bold idea.
But in the end, he decided to put away his bold idea and tell her a wonderful story.
"Okay, Miss, let me tell you a story about the Flower of Despair. It's very suitable for children."
"Oh, that sounds interesting! Tell me, tell me."
"Well. Once upon a time, there was a man who liked to wear maroon - no, dark blue suits. He led the resistance army to fight against the atrocities of the empire. One day, when he came out of his hiding place, he found that the atmosphere on the street was strange."
"I understand! There are monsters, right?"
"No, miss. In fact, this is because the entire street has been turned into a trap by the enemy to ambush them. Not far after this man walked out of the hiding place, a black--no, white car suddenly drove up the street. A limousine. The killer on top suddenly opened the door and shot at him."
"And then?"
"Then, in order to protect the men behind him, the man shielded him with his body and was shot several times. On the way, he turned around and shot two people to death with a pistol, scaring away the killers. Then, the man got up and walked forward. Go ahead and say as you walk, what, my marksmanship is quite accurate."
"That's not right. Why does this plot sound familiar?" Erina was a little confused: "Have you ever told a similar story?"
"No way, miss." Yoshiyuki felt that the secret would be revealed if he continued talking, so he immediately changed the subject: "Okay, miss, the story has been told, so go to sleep. Remember to replenish the charms tomorrow morning."
"It's so troublesome." When Erina heard him mention this, she sighed and complained: "If only I could get a clone to come out and let her do it for me!"
"Miss, you are too lazy." Yi Xing turned off the light and said with a wry smile: "Then I will leave first. Good night."
"Ah, wait!"
Erina hurriedly grabbed the hem of Yoshiyuki's clothes.
A ray of light penetrated from the living room into the bedroom, illuminating her big eyes that were hesitant to speak.
