At this moment, Little Chi was still immersed in her own emotions.
She was completely unaware of her older sister's movements in the top bunk.
Until...
A figure with disheveled hair suddenly appeared hanging upside down beside her bed, snapping Little Chi back to reality.
"Ah! A ghost!!"
Little Chi screamed at the top of her lungs.
She violently jumped up from her lying position and cowered in the corner of the bed.
Her little heart pounded wildly, feeling as if it were about to leap out of her chest; she was almost scared to death on the spot.
The magnetic stick-on lamp beside the bed lit up, exposing Chi Qingshui's face in the light.
Maintaining her upside-down posture, she looked at Little Chi suspiciously and asked:
"Hey, Little Chi, did you do something you shouldn't have again?"
"Why is your reaction so exaggerated today?"
Hearing her sister's voice, Little Chi finally calmed down a bit.
Patting her chest, she said to her sister in annoyance:
"What do you mean, something I shouldn't have!"
"Sister, you look like something straight out of a horror movie right now. Who could handle that?"
"Staying up this late just to scare me—are you trying to lose your own sister?"
Faced with Little Chi's questioning, Chi Qingshui didn't answer.
Instead, she pulled her head back up and climbed down from the top bunk to Little Chi's bed.
Little Chi instantly turned pale with fright.
She quickly returned to where she had been lying, her little brain working in overdrive...
She wasn't thinking about her dream.
She was trying hard to recall if she had hidden anything recently!
Ever since Little Lin taught her how to hide things, Little Chi found it extremely useful.
She hid all the "little trinkets" she didn't want her sister to see in inconspicuous spots around her bed.
Normally, unless someone carefully searched her bed, they wouldn't notice a thing.
Of course.
Little Chi wasn't an idiot either.
She wouldn't keep too many things hidden in the same place all the time.
Moving things back and forth, shuffling them around.
It got to the point where even Little Chi herself couldn't remember exactly what was hidden under her bed right now.
No matter what it was.
It never hurt to be a little careful.
Little did she know.
Chi Qingshui's attention wasn't on such trivial matters at all.
"Little Chi, sit a bit closer."
"I have something to ask you!"
Chi Qingshui spoke in a serious tone, making Little Chi's heart skip a beat with dread.
Oh no, oh no.
She didn't want to inspect the bed after all?
Could it be that she noticed something off about her mood and was preparing for a late-night heart-to-heart?
Trying to pry some useful information out of her mouth?
Normally.
Little Chi definitely wouldn't panic; no matter what her sister wanted to talk about, she could handle it smoothly.
But at this very moment...
She had just been doing indescribable things with Little Lin in her dream.
In her mind, Little Lin was already labeled as her sister's boyfriend.
Sitting face-to-face with her sister like this, she inexplicably felt a guilty conscience.
The more she felt this way, the easier it would be for her sister to spot unnecessary flaws in her demeanor.
"What is it... that you absolutely have to ask in the middle of the night?"
"I haven't secretly bought anything recently, you know!"
"Even if you are my own sister, you can't falsely accuse me."
Despite what Little Chi said, she obediently moved closer.
If she didn't let her sister ask her questions clearly, Little Chi worried it would lead to even more baseless speculations.
Chi Qingshui stared at Little Chi's face, not in a rush to speak.
The invisible pressure released by her gaze gradually spread through the darkness.
Actually.
Chi Qingshui didn't have anything special she wanted to ask.
It was just that seeing Little Chi's flustered appearance made her feel like she had done something wrong.
Every time Little Chi acted like this, her intimidating glare would do the trick.
Unable to bear the psychological pressure, Little Chi would proactively confess to things she didn't know about.
Today, however, Little Chi appeared quite calm and didn't avoid eye contact.
At the same time, she looked as if she had nothing to hide.
To a certain extent, this dispelled the doubts in Chi Qingshui's mind.
How could Chi Qingshui know that the secret hidden in her sister's heart wasn't something she didn't want to say, but rather something she absolutely couldn't say.
If she said it out loud, the consequences would be absolutely terrifying!
Right after.
Chi Qingshui placed her hand on Little Chi's forehead and gently felt it.
With her other hand, she touched her own forehead, comparing their temperatures.
"I thought you were sick with a fever. Why have you been sleep-talking so much lately?"
"If you're feeling unwell, you must tell me right away, and I'll take you to the hospital."
"Don't try to endure it all by yourself, do you hear me?"
Chi Qingshui said with concern.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
