“Irina, it’s a really bad habit to sleep without changing clothes. This time, I’ll do it for you, but don’t expect it next time.”
Sensing some movement, Su Mu furrowed her brows.
“It’s okay… I can do it myself…”
In her drowsy state, she tugged at her chest, then turned over and fell silent again.
Tang Nai sighed helplessly.
“What can I do? Irina, it should be fine to just change your clothes, right?”
***
The world behind closed eyes was a completely different scene.
The dust floating in the air was illuminated by the sunlight, making it seem like a large hand reaching through the window lattice, with contours and substance, hastily driving away the gloom in front of her.
Her vision expanded, and the first thing that fell onto the retina was the slightly dark wooden ceiling, stretching far into the distance, exceptionally spacious.
Regaining her senses, Su Mu was leaning against the windowsill, her hand gently resting on the low solid wood coffee table.
A cluster of warm white smoke entered her nostrils.
Looking down, she saw the tea brewed by Luo Jialan.
As she lowered her head, Su Mu also noticed something that both surprised and embarrassed her.
She was still wearing that gorgeous witch’s dress, but the neckline was loosely open, stretching down almost to her lower abdomen, allowing the interplay of shadows and whiteness between her peaks to suddenly rush into her eyes, making her feel dizzy for a moment.
How could she be in such an embarrassing posture?
It was as if she was inviting someone.
Wait, where was she?
Could it be…
In the midst of her shock and doubt, the girl who had just appeared in her mind promptly appeared in front of her, blushing and firmly covering her eyes with her hand, yet unable to resist peeking through the gaps with her amethyst-like clear eyes.
Su Mu hastily gathered her collar, thus avoiding the impending embarrassment.
But the moment she made that decision, everything in her vision suddenly began to tremble, fading and becoming pale until all that remained before her eyes was a pure gray.
The dream ended here.
The next day, after sleeping for ten hours, Su Mu stretched languidly and felt refreshed.
She realized she was lying neatly in her bed, and at some point, she had been dressed in a smooth, printed nightgown.
She blinked, trying hard to recall what had happened last night, but her memory was completely cut off after she went to bed.
It was probably Tang Nai who helped her again.
Su Mu slightly stretched her upper body.
The nightgown was exceptionally loose and delicate, causing no sense of restriction, which made her very satisfied.
But this brief satisfaction disappeared the moment she touched the two straps on her shoulders.
What was this?
Su Mu’s hands interlaced and gently brushed across her chest, where the two mounds were tightly wrapped, no longer shaking as usual, as if being firmly held, which was reassuring.
She trembled as she undid the buttons on her chest one by one, then tore them open to see the full appearance of the mysterious object.
It was a light blue corset that perfectly fit her size!
She herself didn’t even know her size, yet Tang Nai had already customized a suitable one.
What exactly happened last night?
It was one thing to be seen naked, but if Tang Nai took another photo, that would be another matter!
Thinking this, Su Mu hurriedly got out of bed, not even bothering to put on her slippers, and barefoot, she stomped upstairs, accidentally bumping her pink toes, which hurt so much that she gasped.
“Oh my, Su Mu, did you sleep well?”
Tang Nai leisurely put chocolate mousse into her mouth, while glancing at Su Mu with interest.
Hearing the familiar tone of the silver-haired girl, Su Mu immediately realized this girl’s mischievousness.
She probably wanted to see her hastily questioning and getting angry.
Since that was the case, she couldn’t let her get her way so easily.
“Ahem, I did sleep well, but I was curious about this set of clothes when I woke up.”
Thinking this, she coughed lightly to cover her inner panic and began to probe indirectly.
“Oh, I specially picked it out. How do you feel about it? I couldn’t stand seeing you continue to wrap yourself in a towel, so I also found a few extra corsets for you.”
To her surprise, she actually said it so openly!
It was as if she personally handed Hachimi over to the neutering surgery room and watched the whole process, as if she was afraid I wouldn’t know.
“At least you should have asked for my consent.”
Su Mu said irritably, placing her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction.
“What consent, Su Mu, are you still sleepy?”
“I think I fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed last night. I don’t remember changing clothes at all!”
Hearing Su Mu assertively state the fact that she didn’t change clothes before sleeping, Tang Nai couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.
“Oh, so you were sleepwalking last night, then.”
As she spoke, under Su Mu’s nervous gaze, Tang Nai reached into her pocket, took out a photo, and placed it on the table.
She did take a photo!
Su Mu snatched the photo in anger and humiliation, only to find that it wasn’t what she thought.
The expression on her face in the photo was a bit dull, wearing pajamas and facing the camera.
Although the light was a bit dim, she could still clearly identify herself.
It seemed more like she had taken the photo herself rather than being secretly photographed.
“No, this, I don’t remember at all…”
Su Mu clenched the photo in disbelief and examined it carefully, finally noticing something in her eyes.
The picture was so dark that it was almost impossible to distinguish the color of the eyes, which seemed to be a deep blue, but it could also be silvery gray.
Did Irina come out after I fell asleep?
Su Mu suddenly panicked and wanted to cover up the matter.
She didn’t know what Irina was, but the dark magic she wielded was real, and her strength was unfathomable.Â
If Tang Nai found out, who knows how she would be dissected and studied!
“I remember now, I was just sleep-deprived.”
“Is that so? Speaking of which, you also looked a bit dizzy when you were eating hot pot last night. Could it be that you have a very sensitive constitution to alcohol?”
“Heh, heh, probably.”
Su Mu scratched her head and subtly retreated step by step, almost slipping off the stairs with her back foot.
“Uh, I didn’t wear shoes, I must have woken up abruptly and was a bit disoriented.”
Finding an excuse, Su Mu quickly scurried back downstairs, planning to have a good talk with Irina.
Could it be that she could actually come out without my consent?
“Irina, are you there?”
“I’m here. I was the one who changed your clothes last night.”
Irina spoke in a muffled voice, seemingly still not having recovered from the pain of being whipped.
Su Mu was momentarily unsure how to face her, as Irina had always appeared to protect her so far, and what she did last night wasn’t anything excessive.
But that was what made her uneasy.
“Don’t overthink it. I know all your doubts, and you will eventually find out, it’s just not convenient to tell you now.”
“—In short, you just need to remember one thing, that I will never do anything to harm you. No matter when, I will always prioritize your safety.”
Irina’s tone suddenly became solemn as she spoke with conviction, a tone that left Su Mu in a daze.
It was the truth.
