"What is it?"
Little Jiu lazily sat up. The wickedness in his eyes had already faded, and now he looked at Shui Bing'er with nothing but simple admiration.
"I had another nightmare. In it, you were killed. Little Jiu, I'm panicking. I keep feeling that something will happen to you."
Shui Bing'er still looked frightened. She had already had two similar dreams. Though they had not been completely accurate, the scenes from her dreams had still come true.
"Bing'er, instead of worrying about that, why don't you spend a few more days with me?"
Little Jiu looked at Shui Bing'er's ice muscle jade bone face, a faint heat in his eyes.
"Just now, that was unavoidable. But now, you—you're already better."
"Besides, you're in danger now, and you're still thinking about that... You bastard."
There was both shyness and anger in Shui Bing'er's eyes, furious at his refusal to improve.
Yet when she saw Little Jiu walking toward her step by step, Shui Bing'er was so frightened that she hurriedly ran outside. If she stayed in Little Jiu's bedchamber for over ten days, rumors would spread all over Spirit City.
With a flash, she fled from the bedchamber.
At that moment, Little Jiu drawled, "Remember to leave the door open for me tonight. I'll come find you."
Shui Bing'er nearly fell to the ground. She secretly clenched her silver teeth, feeling helpless, and could only return to Little Jiu's bedchamber. Pretending to be calm, she said, "You're not allowed to come find me. I'm sharing a room with Yue'er."
"I—I'll come find you tonight."
After Shui Bing'er said that, she noticed the amusement in Little Jiu's eyes. She could not help glaring fiercely at him before leaving with a flushed face.
Shui Bing'er returned to the Skywater Academy dormitory compound
