"Well... that's still no reason for you to randomly touch me, you bastard!"
"So... A'Ling hates me now, is that right♪"
Elysia put on a sad expression, and Xi Ling immediately panicked.
"No... that's not it! I didn't mean that!"
"If A'Ling doesn't hate me, then why won't you let me stick close to you♪"
"I... but you were really going too far, that's why I... usually I don't stop you..."
Xi Ling explained nervously, completely missing the mischievous smile that Elysia was sporting.
"So... A'Ling is willing to Cuddle with me now, right♪"
"If... if you like it, then fine..."
Xi Ling felt as if she had lost all means of counterattack. She couldn't defeat Elysia, nor could she bear to scold her, so she could only obediently let herself be led by the nose.
"I knew it, A'Ling couldn't bear to refuse me♪"
Hearing Xi Ling's reply, Elysia immediately snuck up to her side, rubbing her cheek against Xi Ling's.
"O-okay... are you done yet? I really need to cook now, I have to go get the ingredients..."
Xi Ling awkwardly tried to push Elysia away, but Elysia had no intention of letting her go so quickly.
"We can eat a little later. Right now, I want to do something more interesting with A'Ling♪"
Xi Ling was pressed against the wall by Elysia. Watching Elysia draw closer and closer, Xi Ling tried to make her calm down.
"Hey, Elysia... snap out of it, mmph..."
The soft sensation made her eyes widen. She struggled to push Elysia away, but her strength was nothing more than a tickle to Elysia.
"A'Ling's lips... are very sweet♪"
Elysia gently stroked Xi Ling's smooth long hair. She didn't know how to express her feelings to Xi Ling. Once, Xi Ling had cared for her like a mother. Her gentleness and her doting were still so vivid in her memory.
After she grew a little older, Xi Ling became somewhat distant from her. Xi Ling gently taught her how to read and study, and would also take her out to play as a reward.
And now, she was being suppressed by her. She frowned in forbearance, her voice filled with shy annoyance. Xi Ling still doted on her, yet she hesitated.
"H-have you had enough? I... I need to go cook..."
Xi Ling's weak voice seemed like the final straw that broke the camel's back. Elysia pressed Xi Ling's head down and wantonly plundered her mouth.
After a long time, when Xi Ling was finally released, her lips were slightly swollen. This time, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she seized the opportunity to slip away from Elysia, grabbing her backpack and rushing toward the kitchen. Unfortunately, she underestimated the weight of the backpack; just as she lifted it off the sofa, it fell to the floor, nearly dragging her down with it.
"A'Ling, why don't I do it♪ You just focus on cooking."
Watching Elysia effortlessly lift the backpack, Xi Ling looked at her own slender, pale arms and fell into contemplation.
After a while, Xi Ling finally snapped back to reality when Elysia called out to her.
"Seriously, she's a Herrscher. How can an ordinary person like me possibly compare..."
Xi Ling gave a self-deprecating smile, contained the emotions in her heart, and walked into the kitchen.
