Huh?
Qiqi suddenly felt her dizziness fade, her mind clearing, and she was completely energized.
He confessed. He confessed. He really confessed to me.
Rong Yi, that big monster, said he likes me, and for a long time now.
Ahhh, my god, heavens, earth.
"Qiqi, do you like me?" Rong Yi asked softly, his tone tinged with uncertainty, making him sound a bit flustered.
Under the intense shock, Qiqi's brain suddenly went "click" and shut down: "I-I-I..."
Well, actually, she really wanted to say, I kind of like you too, Rong Yi.
But her remaining rationality made her shut her mouth and grip the blanket tightly.
She asked herself—Qiqi, are you ready? To forget everything from the past and start a new relationship? Qiqi, are you ready? To cast aside all worldly notions and date a monster? Do you have the courage? Can you bear the consequences of all this? Can you?
If you don't have the courage, don't start lightly; otherwise, all you'll bring to others is deeper hurt.
Qiqi looked at the man before her—his face, handsome as a god's, was serious, even a bit stern; those beautiful phoenix eyes were passionate and clear, with a fiery hope flickering in their emerald gaze, yet also a hint of hidden worry, as if awaiting a crucial verdict.
Qiqi's head started spinning again, and she murmured, "I, I don't know... I need to think about it."
Rong Yi let out a huge sigh of relief, a joyful expression spreading across his face: "It's okay, you don't know, it's fine. As long as you don't reject me, I believe you'll fall in love with me soon."
He... was really arrogant.
Qiqi gave a bitter laugh: "So can you leave now? Let me rest, I'll think this over properly... I'm really dizzy right now."
Rong Yi held her without letting go, his chin resting on the top of her head: "Since you didn't reject me, I'll consider you my girlfriend from now on. Let's sleep together!"
What?
Qiqi jolted in shock, every hair on her body standing on end: "No way! Even if we're dating, we can't sleep together, right? Men and women should keep their distance!"
Rong Yi clung to her like a koala: "It's fine, I'm no longer the demon king who has to follow court rules in the demon realm. Let's sleep together! I promise I'll behave and do nothing, I just want to be with you."
His expression was so pitiful: "We haven't seen each other for a whole week."
He looked like a spoiled child. Qiqi felt she had no resistance, but she still pushed him away firmly: "No, no, absolutely not!"
Are you kidding? Though she considered herself a pure person, society wasn't so pure anymore~ Qiqi couldn't guarantee she'd never seen those movies starting with a certain English letter... Adults knew what happened when a man and woman slept alone together, especially when the other party was a wolf king—a wolf!
She firmly refused, nearly kicking the wolf king to the floor.
Helpless, the wolf king had to transform into a husky, hugging his fluffy big tail, and crouched pitifully by her bedside: "Is this okay then? I'll just sleep by your bed, guarding you. If anything happens, I can protect you anytime."
This... fine, fine.
Qiqi had no choice but to scoot over and let the wolf king lie by her bedside. But in the middle of summer, having a husky on the bed, radiating heat like fire, was like wearing a fur coat during the dog days—really hot!
