My Scheming Little Devil

She knew she couldn’t hate him, not only could she not hate him, to survive well in this world, she had to desperately cling to his powerful influence, let him protect her, become her backing.

This incident really made her understand that without power, without status, living as an ordinary person in this world where might makes right, could get you KO’d at any time. This feeling was too unpleasant.

Moreover, she had to find a way to enter the Imperial Institute of Technology, sneak into the state-of-the-art laboratory to find a way home.

As a commoner, no matter how smart or capable, it was impossible to get into such a place.

So she needed to have her own influence, her own backing.

He was the councilman’s son, noble in status, outstanding in ability, and this was the Aus Empire, so she absolutely could not offend him, otherwise, with a flick of his finger, even if she got into the institute, she would be kicked out.

Therefore, she couldn’t hate him, but even if she understood all the reasons, understood her own situation, needed to cling to his powerful influence, she still couldn’t help but resent. She had never encountered such a bone-deep agony in her life, making her unable to forgive this person!

"Do you take me for a fool? Talking so much while sleepwalking, you’re really something. Be good, stop fooling around, you’ve been sleeping for a whole day and night, sleep too much and your brain will get messed up."

Ji Lingkong ignored her capricious and absurd excuses, gritting his teeth as he grabbed the corner of her quilt, trying to pull her blanket off.

"..." You’re the one with a messed-up brain, Jun Yiyi was grinding her teeth in anger, he had tormented her for so long, yet he still wouldn’t let her sleep a bit more, this heartless guy.

So she clutched the blanket tightly, wrestling with him, unwilling to come out from the quilt.

Ji Lingkong watched her rolling around with the blanket, like a little rogue puppy, amused and speechless. He had never seen such a cheeky girl; the upper-class ladies he usually saw were all dignified and dull, while she was like a child, ever-changing like a kaleidoscope, one moment one way, making her feel fresh and interesting. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Alright, stop it, I need to apply medicine on you!" How could Ji Lingkong let her be capricious when he needed to do what he had to do? With one hand, he clasped her waist, picked her up along with the blanket, and pulled it off, revealing her puffy and aggrieved face full of anger.

He wasn’t lying. Yesterday she was tortured by Heize Lang with something that stimulated her nervous system, sleeping too much wasn’t good and she needed to clear her mind from time to time to keep her nerve cells active, otherwise, it could easily leave some aftereffects.

His words reminded Jun Yiyi.

She was surprised, though the pain had been excruciating at the time, now those wounds didn’t hurt much, only felt slightly burning. The medicine of this era was indeed advanced, better than Earth’s, once applied, the pain was reduced by more than half. She healed quickly too, from the injuries inflicted by Fengye Wuyin before.

But...

"I want to take a bath." Jun Yiyi remembered everything she encountered at the Intelligence Bureau yesterday, recalling the bluish-black bugs crawling in her body made her feel nauseated, she simply couldn’t tolerate it.

She was desperate to clean herself from head to toe.

"Your wounds can’t touch water yet." Ji Lingkong frowned.

"I don’t care. I just want to take a bath. It’s disgusting if I don’t, I want to take a bath." Jun Yiyi shivered all over, her face turned pale. If she didn’t get clean, she felt as if those things were crawling on her, the event left a huge psychological shadow on her.

She estimated that she would never forget that horrifying scene in her entire life.
