141. A Lustful Hungry Ghost?
"Why did you come up here?!" Kiana grabbed Yun Ling's collar, looking like she was going to make him pay if he didn't give her an explanation.
"Who knew you'd come out dressed like this?!" Yun Ling pouted.
"But... thank you for the treat." Yun Ling clasped his hands together, looking extremely grateful.
Kiana's fist hardened, but Yun Ling had come to help her with her luggage, and it was true that she hadn't been mindful of her manners.
"Hmph, I'll just pretend a dog bit me." Kiana released Yun Ling, pretending not to care.
"Can I bite you again?" Yun Ling looked at Kiana expectantly.
"Sure, first squat down and bark a couple of times. If you make this lady happy, it's not impossible... Hey, what are you doing?! I was kidding!" Kiana quickly pulled Yun Ling back from squatting down.
"Damn it, how could you go back on your word halfway through?" Yun Ling looked betrayed.
"You rascal…" Kiana was completely exasperated with Yun Ling.
She felt like he was madly toying with her.
As revenge, Kiana handed the heaviest luggage to Yun Ling.
But seeing Yun Ling's relaxed demeanor, she knew her little act of revenge was futile.
After two round trips, the luggage was almost all moved; all that was left was to help Kiana with a little cleaning.
"Yuna, nice to meet you, we will be roommates from now on!" Kiana said to Yuna.
"Yeah, Kiana-san, nice to meet you too." Yuna nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work." Mei took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from Yun Ling's temples.
Kiana's house was quite a distance away, and with the sun blazing outside, sweating was a normal occurrence.
"Yeah, it was really tiring, so… is there any reward?" Yun Ling looked at Mei expectantly.
"What reward do you want?" Mei asked, her face full of affection, as she looked at Yun Ling, who was acting like a child.
"You can continue to sleep with me tonight," Yun Ling said without hesitation.
"Is Yun Ling a baby? You want me to sleep with you every day," Mei said, her face slightly flushed.
"Because you smell so good and feel so soft, it's so comfortable to hold," Yun Ling praised Mei.
"Am I some kind of doll? Alright, I agree... but still, you can't do anything bad," Mei agreed to Yun Ling's somewhat willful request.
"Don't worry, Mei, I'm a gentleman," Yun Ling said with a smile.
He knows the difference between a full stomach and a half-full stomach.
Kiana happened to witness this scene. She didn't hear what the two were saying, but seeing Mei wiping Yun Ling's sweat and their intimate manner made her feel somewhat uneasy.
Has their relationship progressed this far?
When exactly did their relationship become so close...?
Kiana took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.
"Kiana, what's wrong?" Yuna asked worriedly, noticing Kiana's dazed expression.
"I'm fine! I'm just a little curious about Mei and Yun Ling's relationship. I'm worried that Mei might have already fallen for Yun Ling's sweet talk, haha..."
Kiana chuckled awkwardly.
"Yun Ling and Mei... they must have started dating already," Yuna murmured, her face gradually turning red as she recalled last night's events.
"Eh? Yuna, you already have inside information? Tell me!" Kiana asked, her eyes brimming with gossip.
"I... I can't betray Yun Ling..." Yuna whispered, taking a few steps back.
Kiana paused for a second, then sat down on the sofa.
"Yuna, you probably like Yun Ling, right? Aren't you sad that Yun Ling and Mei are dating?" Kiana already knew about Yun Ling and Yuna's fake relationship.
But Yuna's affection for Yun Ling was genuine.
"Why are you sad?" Yuna tilted her head.
"Just being able to stay by Yun Ling's side already makes me happy." Yuna smiled knowingly; this was her truest thought.
"Ugh... How pathetic." Kiana shook her head, completely unable to understand such thoughts.
But she was certain of one thing: Mei and Yun Ling were really dating!
Should she give up?
Kiana asked herself this question.
She lay on the sofa, her gaze gradually losing focus.
Should she have never believed that strange dream in the first place?
Even with so many similar coincidences, even if the Herrscher of the Void really existed within her body...
It was too absurd, too ironic.
Why should he keep his gaze fixed on a useless paramecium?
Mei was so perfect—beautiful, with a great figure, had a gentle personality, and was excellent at housework. Anyone would know who to choose between them. So why are there so many coincidences? And why was Yun Ling not watching her anymore?
"Kiana, Kiana? Really asleep?" Yun Ling waved his hand in front of Kiana's face, but found she didn't react at all.
This made Yun Ling wonder if paramecium sleep with their eyes open.
Just as Yun Ling was about to touch her forehead to check her temperature…
"What are you doing? You scared me!" Kiana was startled by Yun Ling's sudden appearance.
"Don't make false accusations! I've called you four or five times already, and you've been lying on the sofa in a daze, not responding at all."
Yun Ling withdrew his hand. She seemed perfectly fine, so there was nothing wrong with her.
"Then what are you trying to do with that hand? Are you trying to take advantage of me?" Kiana clutched her chest, staring at Yun Ling warily.
"I am, but only in my mind." Yun Ling rolled his eyes.
Yun Ling was clearly aiming for her forehead, so why would she think of him taking advantage of her? She really is a paramecium, isn't she?
"R-really?" Kiana asked.
"?" Yun Ling slowly typed a question mark.
Why did he detect a hint of 'expectation' in that sentence?
Is this paramecium acting strangely again?
But Yun Ling remained unmoved.
"Nonsense, I'm a gentleman. How could I secretly do such a thing while someone is asleep? I, Yun Ling, have always acted with integrity."
Yun Ling righteously defended himself, but the next second...
"Kiana, come on, let me see if you're developing normally!"
Yun Ling instantly transformed into a lecherous old man, spouting obscene words as he cautiously approached Kiana.
"Go to hell!" Kiana stomped on Yun Ling's face, sending him flying.
Yun Ling's body spun 540 degrees in mid-air and, unfortunately, landed squarely on top of Yuna.
"Yun...Yun Ling-kun?"
Looking at Yun Ling so close to her, Yuna's face instantly turned red.
"Sorry." Yun Ling immediately got up, brushing off imaginary dust.
"It's alright..." Yuna straightened her clothes, her pretty face flushed crimson.
Yun Ling, however, remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened.
This made Kiana somewhat curious; this was quite different from the Yun Ling she remembered.
Logically, shouldn't Yun Ling taking advantage of Yuna be the most fitting part of his lecherous persona?
