I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 794 - 762
The boy sat upright across from the girl, with his small fists tensely placed on his knees, his gaze unconsciously dropping. The girl was just too pretty, her smile too bright for him to feel comfortable making eye contact.
But after a short silence,
"S-sister, I still don’t know your name..." The boy finally mustered up a lot of courage and asked, blushing.
Seeing the little guy finally thought to ask her name, the girl in the white dress rested her chin in her hand and smiled:
"Cha Naixue."
"Cha... Naixue." The boy murmured, secretly memorizing the name.
The girl in the white dress watched with great interest. She used to only observe the world, observing flowers and birds, the empty forest, feeling the changes as the world’s information flowed, but she had never carefully observed people.
"Is Sister’s name nice?"
"It... is nice."
"You can call me Sister Nai Xue, or Xue, either is fine."
"Uh-huh! Okay."
"Can you call me once to see?"
"....."
"Hm?"
".... Sister, Sister Nai Xue," Little Xia Feng said softly, his ears burning.
"Pfft~" Cha Naixue chuckled gently, "It’s just a name, and you’re blushing already?"
"!" Xia Feng couldn’t take it anymore. As he watched this memory from the past, his eyelids twitched, and he gave Cha Naixue a smack on the backside.
A clear sound resonated, Cha Naixue’s lazy curled hair fell in soft wisps, she bit her lip angrily, her voice was sweet and alluring, her coy voice teasing, "I didn’t say anything this time~ so why did you hit me again!"
Although Cha Naixue had a pure face like a classic beauty, her voice was the kind that was sweetly different, a single call by his ear made Xia Feng shiver, feeling a tingling at the back of his neck and scalp.
"Pia~~"
He smacked her again without any mercy, coldly saying, "You idiot! Shut up."
".....!" Cha Naixue trembled slightly, her flushed face buried in Xia Feng’s neck, her rounded thighs tightly pressed together without any gap. Her instincts caused her to obey and stop making any sound.
"So, was there something you wanted to say when you came looking for me just now?" The girl’s mild voice rang out.
"Nothing.... in particular." Little Xia Feng scratched his head sheepishly, his bright black eyes earnestly fixed on the girl, honestly saying, "I just wanted to come and say thank you for last week."
"Hmm~" The girl in the white dress nodded gently, smiling, "Is that all?"
"Huh?" Little Xia Feng looked puzzled. What else could there be besides that?
"I saved you, and you only have a ’thank you’ for me?"
"Did you not bring any gifts? Hm?" The girl in the white dress arched her eyebrows, she didn’t actually like to tease people, but seeing the boy’s shy and dazed look, she couldn’t help but feel like playing a prank on him.
Sure enough, with her words, the redness that had just faded from Little Xia Feng’s face instantly flushed back, covering his entire adorable little face. He stood up with a tight and tense demeanor, "S-Sorry, next time I’ll bring—"
The girl in the white dress propped her chin in her hand, blinking her beautiful purple eyes, watching the boy with great interest as he awkwardly and cautiously questioned her, his emotions completely exposed without any disguise, not needing to open Nailuo’s Eye to feel everything in his heart.
It was indeed a bit interesting.
Especially when those pure black eyes looked up seriously, like a little puppy longing for its master’s attention....
Perhaps, it could bring a bit of fun to her monotonous life.
"Sister Nai Xue.... what kind of gift would you like?"
"A gift...." The girl’s teasing intent rose and couldn’t be stopped. She smiled softly, "How about this, Little Feng, next time you come, just bring your sister a dog collar."
"A dog, dog collar?"
Little Xia Feng was a bit confused.
Beside him, Xia Feng was also stunned. As more memories surfaced, his expression turned ugly. Indeed, that dog collar was meant for him!
Back in those days, Cha Naixue, like Gong Changyi, seemed like a gentle big sister in front of others, but she actually had no good intentions. At that time, Little Xia Feng was naive and knew nothing. Cha Naixue told him to do whatever she wanted.
"Yes, a dog collar. Is that okay?"
"Sure!" Little Xia Feng nodded earnestly. If it was just a dog collar, he could afford it with the money he had.
At Liu Mansion, completing the monthly course requirements would grant him some ’salary.’ Although it was not much, it was enough for him to move around the vicinity of Liu Mansion.
As for why Sister Nai Xue wanted a dog collar, he figured she must have a dog at home that needed it.
He liked dogs too and always wanted one, but unfortunately, Liu Mansion had strict rules and did not allow pets.
"By the way."
"Now that you came to see me today, won’t your Sister Yi get mad?" The girl in the white dress had a pure little face with a sweet smile, her heart pounding.
After all, it was her first time doing something mischievous like this, it was hard not to be a little nervous. Especially since she was hiding it from that tricky woman Gong Changyi....
"Sister Yi doesn’t know I came.... she has classes today."
"Classes?"
The boy pressed his lips, shaking his head. In Liu Mansion’s courses, the confidentiality rules were compulsory, and he remembered all the points in the confidentiality rules, what could be said, what couldn’t, and only by remembering these could he leave the manor.
Moreover, he had a special curse known as Secret Poison placed on him. If he tried to reveal any of the words forbidden by confidentiality rules, he would immediately be forced into unconsciousness.
As far as he knew, the Secret Poison he had was the mild type, while some attack-type Secret Poisons could directly lead to death and scattering of the soul.
However, who bore such Secret Poison, Little Xia Feng had no idea.
Seeing the boy only shaking his head, unwilling to say more, the girl in the white dress smiled and didn’t press further.
The Liu Manor Master bringing up so many extraordinary talents was already mysterious, having some secrets was normal.
After all, which major force in the 50 districts didn’t have some secrets?
The girl in the white dress didn’t probe further into the matter.
"Miss, the concert is about to start." Next to her, Ning reminded softly, noting the conversation between the two was about done.
Little Xia Feng’s eyes brightened at once, a concert?
The girl in the white dress keenly noticed the boy’s change in expression and smiled, "The Prince’s music concert, do you want to go listen?"
"Can I?" The boy’s mood visibly elevated, the anticipation on his face was impossible to hide.
"Certainly."
"Seeing you like this, it seems you enjoy concerts, hasn’t Gong Changyi taken you before?"
"....." Xia Feng paused, lowering his eyes, "She said she’d take me when I turn 11."
The girl in the white dress knew the boy was already 12 this year.
Seeing his dejected look, the girl in the white dress gently tousled his black hair, speaking softly, "Don’t be sad, maybe she just forgot? When you’re busy, it’s easy to overlook some things, don’t blame her."
Forgot.... the boy pressed his lips, momentarily lost in thought.
"Besides, today I’m taking you, aren’t I?" The girl in the white dress blinked her beautiful purple eyes, suddenly leaning close to the boy’s face, humming displeasedly, "What’s wrong, do you prefer going to a concert with your Sister Yi than with Sister Nai Xue?"
Little Xia Feng held his breath, his face instantly flushed, "S-Sorry."
That was indeed what he thought.
The girl in the white dress: "....."
