Extra: Nightmare

In a room within an ordinary small villa in the Golden Courtyard.

Elysia, who was lying on the bed playing with her phone, was suddenly drawn to the murmurs of Lin Li, who was sleeping soundly beside her.

"Elysia... come back quickly... please..."

"Don't go... I'm sorry..."

Elysia noticed that Lin Li's eyes were even shedding tears.

Did Xiao Li have a nightmare?

Elysia thought to herself, hugged Lin Li, rubbed her head, and softly said in her ear:

"Xiao Li, I'm here."

"Mmm..."

Lin Li slowly opened her eyes and, upon seeing Elysia, immediately hugged her tightly.

She hugged her with great force, burying her face in Elysia's chest, greedily taking in her scent.

"Elysia..."

"Mhm, I'm here, Xiao Li, don't cry anymore."

Elysia's pretty face flushed slightly.

She had felt a bit warm when she woke up, so she had taken off her pajamas.

Although she still had a bra on, it seemed to be of little use.

She could feel Lin Li's tears soaking into her chest, filled with despair.

After a long while, Lin Li gradually recovered. She propped herself up with her hands, got a clear view of the scenery below, and her cheeks instantly turned bright red.

"Are you feeling better, Xiao Li?" Elysia didn't seem to mind much. After all, she and Xiao Li had been together for so long; they had seen everything they should and shouldn't see.

"Mmm... Elysia..."

Lin Li, with a blushing face, wrapped her arms around Elysia's neck and nuzzled her cheek.

Elysia could feel the wetness on her cheek.

It was Xiao Li's tears.

"Good girl~ Don't cry~"

"Mhm..."

"Did you have a nightmare, Xiao Li?" Elysia asked softly.

"Mhm..."

"..."

Elysia didn't ask what kind of nightmare it was. After all, for Lin Li to cry like this, and about her, it must have been a nightmare of extreme despair...

All she could do was comfort Xiao Li's heart; she couldn't do anything else.

"Elysia, please stay with me forever..."

"Mhm, of course, I'll always stay with Xiao Li, I'll never leave."

In fact, Elysia and Lin Li spent every day together, inseparable.

Only when Elysia went out to meet Mei did she not let Lin Li tag along.

The reason was simple: Elysia really wanted to touch Mei's horns, but if Lin Li saw that, the consequences would be more than just jealousy.

"Elysia..."

"Mhm, I'm here."

"Elysia..."

"I'm here."

"Elysia..."

Lin Li kept calling out softly, and Elysia, not finding it bothersome, kept responding.

"..."

"Xiao Li, didn't you promise Mei that you would meet her today?"

"No, I don't want to go, I only want you..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Li's loosened grip tightened again, as if she were afraid Elysia would disappear.

"..."

Lin Li pressed herself against Elysia again, her dark hair falling onto Elysia's face.

She brushed the hair away, caressed Elysia's delicate face, said nothing, and then lowered her head, kissing Elysia's soft lips.

The sudden kiss was as overwhelming as a storm. In just a moment, Lin Li parted Elysia's teeth, her tongue reaching into the moist lips, their tongues rubbing and entwining.

Elysia obediently closed her eyes, feeling the sensation of Lin Li on her lips, responding passionately.

If it were about kissing skills, Lin Li definitely couldn't compare to Elysia, because ever since they got together, Elysia had been the one in control during almost every kiss.

But this time, Elysia definitely couldn't flip over and pin Lin Li down. The other party had just had such a despairing nightmare, and this was the time for her to vent her emotions.

All Elysia could do was cater to her.

It was a good thing they were in the Elysian Realm; otherwise, back in reality, she would have definitely made Lin Li wash up first... although Lin Li didn't have morning grumpiness.

"Mmm..."

Lin Li lifted her head, a long, slender silver thread stretching from the corner of Elysia's mouth to the tip of Lin Li's tongue, shimmering with crystal-clear light.

"Elysia, I want more..."

After speaking, Lin Li kissed her again, this time more intensely, as if trying to melt Elysia into her own body.

She saw Elysia's long eyelashes tremble slightly. In the enchanting atmosphere, Lin Li's eyes, filled with desire, seemed about to drip with moisture.

Lin Li couldn't control her hands. She propped herself up with only one hand, while the other began to explore downwards along Elysia's delicate skin.

"Xiao Li, wait..."

Although Elysia felt dizzy, she could still sense that mischievous little hand.

She seized that hand during a moment when Lin Li was catching her breath.

"Elysia..."

Lin Li gazed at the person beneath her with her misty, ink-black eyes, a hint of confusion in them.

"Xiao Li, just wait a moment, okay?"

As Elysia spoke, she slowly removed Lin Li's pajamas and other intimate clothing, setting them aside.

"Alright, Xiao Li, you're the one taking the lead this time."

Elysia lay there obediently, making no other movements.

Only in her eyes, which were gradually turning pinkish-purple, did hearts seem to appear.

Lin Li couldn't suppress the desire in her heart and became entangled with Elysia again.

In the quiet bedroom, occasional gasps could be heard from under the covers...

At noon, Elysia climbed out of bed, her entire body aching.

It was a real, aching soreness. She had no idea what kind of nightmare Xiao Li had, but this time, Xiao Li's intensity surpassed the sum of all previous times Xiao Li had taken the initiative.

Elysia looked back at Lin Li, who was curled up into a ball.

In her hazy memory, it seemed that towards the end, she had forgotten all about Lin Li's nightmare and had started to fight back, pinning Xiao Li beneath her...

However, Xiao Li's physical fitness was truly exceptional, and it wasn't just about stamina. In fact, ever since they had crossed that final threshold, Xiao Li had never once ended up sore; it was always just her who was...

Elysia rubbed Lin Li's head, and without bothering to see if she was awake, carried her directly into the bathtub in the bathroom.

Ever since they had officially announced their relationship, they had basically bathed like this.

She still remembered that at the very beginning, Xiao Li had tried every possible way to dissuade her from bathing together, and it was only after a combination of her financial persuasion and acting cute that Xiao Li had taken that first step.

It seemed like Xiao Li had gradually let herself go after that.

Looking at the person's fair, jade-like skin before her, Elysia shook her head, deciding not to dwell on those distant memories.

She began to diligently clean Lin Li's body.

Lin Li woke up once during the process but quickly fell back asleep.

After bathing them, Elysia put on pajamas and other intimate clothing for both of them and carried her back to the bedroom.

She gently pulled up the covers, preparing to go to the living room to make lunch.

But Lin Li, as if sensing her lover's departure, suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed Elysia's hand.

"Elysia... don't go..."

Her voice was filled with a crying tone. Elysia, with no other choice, held her close again.

Considering she needed to prepare lunch, she simply carried Lin Li to the double sofa in the living room.

"Xiao Li, don't worry, I won't leave you," Elysia said softly, her eyes filled with tenderness.

She tied on a pure white apron and began preparing lunch.

"Mmm... Elysia..."

Even after Elysia said that, Lin Li still clung to her hand tightly.

Elysia was at a loss. She opened her phone and sent a message to Felice, asking her to bring two portions of lunch and not to ring the doorbell.

The other party was likely eating, as she replied with a quick "Okay."

Elysia sat beside Lin Li, their hands intertwined, clasped tightly together.

Felice soon arrived with the food. She didn't ring the doorbell but slipped in through the window, with a can perched on her head.

"Sister Elysia, Sister Lin, we're here." Felice efficiently placed the two portions of food on the small coffee table in the living room and looked at Lin Li with some confusion, asking, "Huh? Sister Elysia, what's wrong with Sister Lin?"

"Shh..." Elysia waved her hand, signaling Felice to leave quickly.

So Felice didn't ask any more questions and just left.

The lunch she brought was a signature dish from Elysia's own restaurant, and Lin Li really liked eating it.

"Xiao Li, don't be sad anymore, get up and eat."

"Want... Eli to feed me..." Lin Li said softly.

"Mmm... Alright, I really don't know what to do with you, Xiao Li." Elysia opened the packaging with one hand. Although it was a bit difficult, she succeeded.

Fortunately, she was holding Lin Xiao Li's hand with her left hand; otherwise, let alone feeding Xiao Li, even eating by herself would be difficult.

"Can Xiao Li sit up first? Otherwise, it will be hard for me to feed you."

"Mmm..."

Lin Li heard this and slowly sat up, leaning on Elysia's left shoulder, still not letting go of her hand.

"Xiao Li is so good, come on, open your mouth~"

"Mmm..."

The two of them took a long time to eat lunch. Because Lin Li kept holding her hand, Elysia couldn't clean up the food that accidentally fell on the table and floor, so she simply decided not to bother.

She pulled Lin Li to her feet, wanting to take her out for some fresh air.

But just as Lin Li's feet were about to step out the door, she pulled back, dragging Elysia back with her.

"I... I don't want to go out."

"Then does Xiao Li want to keep sleeping?"

"Mmm..." Lin Li bit her red lip. "I want Eli to stay with me..."

"Can Eli not see anyone else today? Please..."

"...Okay."

A flicker of heartache crossed Elysia's eyes again.

Xiao Li hadn't said anything when Felice arrived... What was Xiao Li so afraid of?

She didn't dwell on it, picked up Lin Li, and returned to the bedroom bed. After comforting her for a while, Lin Li fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that she was asleep, Elysia finally felt a little more at ease. She kissed Lin Li's red and swollen eyes, which were from crying, and then lay down as well.

When she woke up, it was already dusk. Elysia felt her face being kissed.

Without thinking, it had to be Lin Li.

The other person was holding her on her side, with one leg draped over her, kissing the same spot on her cheek for who knows how long.

Elysia's face felt a little numb.

"Eli..."

Seeing that Elysia was awake, Lin Li snuggled closer, calling out affectionately.

"Mmm, does Xiao Li feel better?" Elysia said with a smile. "Can you tell me what you dreamed about?"

"No! Eli, you're not allowed to listen!" Lin Li became agitated again upon hearing this.

"Okay, okay~ I won't listen, I won't listen~"

Elysia sighed, helpless.

"Does Xiao Li still want to be held? Are you really not considering going for a walk?"

"Not going! I just want... to hold Eli forever..." Lin Li said softly, hugging her tightly.

"But what if Xiao Li is hungry?"

"Then... I'm hungry. Anyway, Eli isn't allowed... isn't allowed to leave..."

Lin Li choked back a sob and buried her small face in Elysia's chest.

"..."

Elysia wondered if she should let Su come over to clear away Xiao Li's nightmare. Otherwise, Xiao Li's current state... was really too abnormal.

Before this, Xiao Li had always been aloof, although sometimes she would act like a little girl around her... but not like this.

As for why she would call Su over... it was because Aponia wouldn't easily leave the deepest part of the Sea of Quanta, and only Su had this ability.

Of course, there was another point: Xiao Li thought Su was very handsome...

"Alright, alright, I won't leave."

"Mmm..."

And so, the two of them lay on the bed, not even eating dinner.

Elysia had sent a message to Felice, but the other party might have gone to bed early, so there was no reply.

Why didn't she send messages to anyone else?

Since Elysia seemed to be the only one in the Elysian Realm who was always quite free, whenever she and Lin Li wanted to go out, they basically always looked for Elysia.

Sigh, I'll just sleep then. Even if they could feel hungry, they wouldn't actually starve.

The next day, breakfast was prepared by Lin Li.

Elysia looked at Lin Li with a smile and said, "Xiao Li, why aren't you holding me anymore?"

"...Eat quickly, no more nonsense," Lin Li said expressionlessly, though her cheeks were visibly flushed.

"Mmm... so cold, yesterday's Xiao Li was cuter," Elysia's smile deepened in her eyes. "So, Xiao Li, what exactly did you dream about? Aren't you going to tell your most, most, most favorite Elysia?"

"I'm not telling," Lin Li shook her head. "Are you eating or not? If not, I'm throwing it away."

"Feed me."

"Not feeding."

"But I fed you yesterday."

"That was because I was in an abnormal state... Never mind, open your mouth."

"Ah~"

"..."

After Lin Li cleaned up, she stood by the door.

"I'm going to see Raiden Mei, do you want to come with me?"

"Xiao Li actually agreed to see Mei with me? Then if I want to touch Mei's horns..."

"Then don't go."

After Lin Li finished speaking, she flickered and disappeared from the room.

Elysia's lips curved slightly.

I shouldn't go to Su to have my memory erased. Because then I can tease Xiao Li about yesterday later.

Hmm?
