I Really Want to Be Held by Sister Elysia Forever

Elysia gently moved Felice aside, stood up, and rubbed her chest.

Looking at the two unconscious figures on the ground, she sighed heavily.

It was her fault for casually taking out her phone without considering whose it was...

Felice's reaction was normal; after all, if she knew the person coming to capture her was right in front of her, she would definitely run too.

But Xiao Li was in the wrong. She had explained so clearly to Xiao Li just now that Felice wasn't a bad person. On the contrary, from many people's perspectives, she was a thoroughly good person.

Yet Xiao Li still chased after her so resolutely. Even with her voice nearly breaking, she couldn't call Xiao Li back.

Aponia came to Elysia's side, likely understanding the situation, and asked, "Do you need my help?"

"Yes, if possible, that would be wonderful."

Elysia gave a helpless smile, then had Aponia hold Felice while she picked up Lin Li, dusted her off, and left with Aponia.

The children followed behind Aponia, quiet and orderly.

Aponia was the director of a sanatorium, or perhaps an orphanage, as the majority of the residents were homeless children.

The two placed Felice and Lin Li in a room at the sanatorium, on the same bed. Elysia stayed to watch over them, while Aponia went out to prepare dinner.

The sky was nearing dusk. Elysia rested her chin on her hands, sitting on a small stool propped against the soft bed, watching Lin Li's closed eyes and pondering a solution.

Though she didn't know what to think about.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the gauze window onto Lin Li's face. The latter seemed slightly displeased and turned over, her back to Elysia.

Felice lay on the inner side of the bed. The bed wasn't large to begin with; it was already difficult for two adults to fit, so when Lin Li turned, half her body pressed onto Felice.

"Mmm... so heavy..." Felice mumbled unconsciously, also trying to turn over.

Elysia quickly moved Lin Li back to her original position and continued watching her.

"Miss Elysia, have they woken up?"

After a short while, a voice called from outside the room. Aponia pushed the door open and entered.

Looking at the two still lying on the bed, her eyes were filled with concern.

"Not yet, but they should be soon, right?" Elysia forced a smile. "Have you eaten?"

"Yes, the children have started their meal. You should go out for a bit too; I'll take care of them," Aponia said understandingly.

"No, what if they suddenly wake up while I'm out? Without me here, you definitely wouldn't be able to control Xiao Li," Elysia shook her head and continued to stare at Lin Li.

"Alright, Miss Elysia. Please take care of yourself too."

Aponia finished speaking, gently closed the door, and left.

Elysia took Lin Li's hand and examined it.

The back of her hand was as fair as jade, exuding a gentle luster, connected to slender, well-proportioned fingers that made one feel envious.

Lin Li's palm was soft and warm, a sensation Elysia had felt most deeply when they held hands before.

Her entire hand was so exquisite it didn't seem like something a normal person could possess; even Elysia felt inferior.

She placed Lin Li's palm against her cheek.

So warm...

Elysia closed her eyes in comfort.

But before she could continue enjoying it, a finger suddenly twitched slightly.

"Elys... ia." Lin Li's voice was incredibly weak, her legs felt useless, devoid of any sensation.

Although Lin Li knew she wouldn't be in any real danger, the feeling was still very unpleasant.

This chase was much more severe than any loan aftermath; she felt like she wouldn't be able to get up for days.

"Xiao Li, how are you feeling? Are you okay?" Elysia asked with concern.

"Not good... I feel like I'm about to meet my ancestors," Lin Li said honestly.

"...Don't say such disheartening things," Elysia couldn't help but chuckle at Lin Li's dark humor, but her expression turned serious the next moment. "Didn't I tell you? Felice isn't a bad person. Why do you care so much about that bounty?"

"Don't do this again in the future, understand?"

"Mmm..."

Lin Li didn't want to listen to Elysia.

She realized there was someone to her right.

Her whole head was dizzy, and she couldn't turn her head.

However, she could roughly guess that the person lying beside her was the hundred thousand yuan... no, it was Felice.

She placed her hand on Felice, as if she had already obtained the hundred thousand, a slight smile rising to her lips.

Seeing this, Elysia felt Lin Li was beyond saving. She put her hands on her hips and stared at her for a moment.

Lin Li still didn't react, so Elysia picked her up, moving her away from Felice.

It's okay if there's nowhere to put it, she can just hold it. As long as Lin Li doesn't get close to Felice.

Seeing herself getting further and further away from Felice, Lin Li reached out her hand, but it always fell back down limply halfway.

She slumped into Elysia's arms, looking as if she were about to die.

Seeing this, Elysia leaned close to Lin Li's ear and said in an extremely gentle voice:

"If Xiao Li still wants to catch Felice, I promise I'll hold you the whole time and walk through all of Dusk Street, so everyone can get to know my adorable Xiao Li."

Her voice was beautiful, but the words sounded like a devil's whisper in Lin Li's ears, instantly making her afraid to move recklessly. She could only lie obediently in Elysia's arms. Her rosy lips, which should have looked sexy, were now slightly pouting, completely changing her demeanor to a cute one, her mood evident on her face.

Elysia's lips curved upwards, and she pinched Lin Li's cheek again.

Hmph, the socially anxious little money-grubber is perfectly captured by me, Elysia~

And so, now both of them were looking at Felice, waiting for her to wake up.

Elysia was prepared to explain what happened today to Felice, while Lin Li was still thinking about her hundred thousand yuan.

Even if Elysia threatened her with that kind of tactic... she, she wouldn't compromise!

During this time, Aponia came in once more, but Elysia still didn't go out. Instead, she asked Aponia to put away the dishes, saying she would take the other two out to eat later.

To this, Aponia could only say:

"Well, then I wish you success."

After another ten minutes or so, Pardo gradually woke up.

The moment she opened her eyes, she realized she was in a familiar environment and immediately knew she had arrived at Sister Niya's sanatorium.

She then turned her head and saw Lin Li looking at her like she was prey. Her hair stood on end in an instant, and she wanted to escape through the window.

But like Lin Li, she had gone through a life-or-death race, and the after-effects were very severe; she couldn't move at all.

She could only watch as Elysia, holding Lin Li, walked closer and closer, while she could do nothing, tears of regret streaming from the corners of her eyes.

"..."

Elysia had Lin Li hook her arms around her neck, allowing her to free up one hand to wipe Felice's tears.

Although the posture seemed a bit awkward, it wasn't a big problem.

"Felice, don't cry anymore. We didn't come to catch you," Elysia said softly.

She thought for a moment and felt that it wasn't good to hold Lin Li while talking to Felice. So, she put Lin Li down, then picked up Felice and moved her further away from Lin Li.

She could feel Lin Li's resentful gaze, but there was nothing she could do. She had to do this to explain what had just happened to Felice.

Seeing that Elysia wasn't paying attention to her, Lin Li simply turned over, grabbed the blanket to cover herself, and stuck out her finger to draw small circles on the mattress for Elysia.

It was a boring and childish act, but Lin Li found it quite interesting... No wonder Elysia liked to draw small circles on her lap before, it was indeed quite fun.

"Boss Aili... I'm scared..."

Felice now was not like before when her body reached its limit and she thought Elysia was coming to catch her. She could feel a lot of goodwill from Elysia, that she wouldn't be harmed.

"Don't be scared, be good. With me here, Xiao Li won't dare to do anything to you," Elysia said, glancing at Lin Li.

Lin Li had wrapped herself up and couldn't see anything.

However, Elysia's voice wasn't quiet, and Lin Li could definitely hear it.

"R-really?" Felice didn't quite believe what Elysia said.

Lin Li had been by Elysia's side before, yet she had still come to catch her immediately.

"Don't worry, Xiao Li is very weak now, just like you. If she dares to catch you, I'll punish her severely, okay?"

Elysia said this specifically for Lin Li to hear, especially emphasizing the word "severely," which Lin Li understood.

"Mhm... Thank you, Boss Aili... Thank you, Sister Aili."

"You're welcome~" Elysia ruffled Felice's head. Her short, brownish-yellow hair, while not as nice to the touch as Lin Li's, was still quite good.

However, Felice seemed to be lacking in nutrition. She was thin all over, with little flesh, and her skin was slightly sallow, unlike herself, who had always taken good care of herself...

Elysia felt sorry for Felice.

Hmph, you hateful Xiao Li, Felice is already so pitiful, and you still want to catch her. I really need to punish you properly!

Elysia was already thinking about how she would tease Lin Li during her weak period.

What? You have to pay to tease her? Try saying that again?

Elysia held Felice and leaned against the headboard, waiting for about half an hour.

Outside the room, it was still noisy. It was only a little past seven o'clock; it wasn't bedtime yet.

The sky outside had completely darkened. Lin Li seemed to be asleep, her blanket rising and falling rhythmically. There was no snoring, and the room was quiet.

"Felice, are you feeling any better?"

"Mmm... Sister Aili, can you hold me a little longer... just a little longer..."

Felice tucked her head into Elysia's embrace, nuzzling cautiously.

It felt very comfortable, as if she hadn't felt this comfortable since she could remember.

"Of course, I was just asking if Felice could stand up," Elysia said with a smile. "But Felice, I can't hold you for too long, you must be hungry after all this time, right? Let's go eat together later, okay?"

"Okay."

Felice nodded slightly and closed her eyes.

This feels so good, I wish I could just lie here forever...

But even though she wanted to lie down, she knew she couldn't waste Elysia's time for her own comfort, so she stood up not long after.

Her steps were a little unsteady, but she quickly regained her balance.

Seeing that she didn't need Elysia's help, Elysia turned to wake up Lin Li.

"Still sleeping? Not eating anymore, huh? Get up!"

Elysia said in a tone that brooked no refusal.

"..."

Lin Li reluctantly got out of bed and looked at Felice, a flicker of eagerness in her eyes again.

However, after being glared at by Elysia, she quickly became obedient again.

Like Felice, she could barely stand on her own, only walking a bit slowly.

Seeing that neither of them intended to chase each other, Elysia nodded, took one by each hand, and left the sanatorium.

It was just mealtime now, and many restaurants and eateries were packed, but Elysia couldn't choose a crowded place, so she picked a very inconspicuous small restaurant and walked in.

The interior of the restaurant was a brownish-yellow, and there were a few small cats inside. Seeing the three of them enter, they immediately and affectionately crowded around, asking for pets.

Lin Li and Felice were both cat lovers. They sat down, played with the cats for a while, and waited for the food to be served.

Elysia sat with Felice, while Lin Li sat opposite them.

During the meal, none of the three spoke, just like on the way there, not a single word was exchanged.

So they finished eating quickly, and Elysia paid the bill, letting Lin Li and Felice go ahead.

But there was no way these two would leave together, they just stood at the entrance, not looking at each other at all.

Lin Li was fine, she had her phone to play with, while Felice kept petting the cats.

She was surrounded by small cats.

Elysia walked over and pulled the two of them out of the restaurant.

Looking at the two by her side, she began to think about where to take them.

To Aponia's sanatorium? No, the beds there were too small to fit three people.

Felice's home? Aponia had told her that Felice's living space was extremely simple, barely enough for one person.

Alright, it seemed they had no choice but to book a hotel.

Elysia put a mask on Felice, along with some round, non-prescription glasses she'd pulled out from who-knows-where. She also tidied up the other girl's hair.

Only when it was completely impossible to see even the slightest resemblance between Felice and her wanted poster did she feel relieved and bring the two into the hotel.

She casually booked a room with a large bed for the three of them. Such rooms were rare, but thankfully not non-existent.

The young man at the counter looked at the three girls with curiosity but didn't think much of it.

The three of them walked into the room.
