"Prince … Prince Meg … Please don't leave me …"
Meg looked at Gina, who was murmuring in her sleep, and curled his lips helplessly. He turned off the light and walked softly to the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a half-smiling face.
"Are you trying to say that you only told her a story and didn't do anything?" Irina asked Meg with a half-smiling face.
Meg was shocked, but he tried his best to remain calm. He closed the door behind him with a smile, and said, "Gina said that she had been having nightmares for a few days and didn't dare to sleep. Out of concern for my employees, I told her a bedtime story. We really didn't do anything."
"Ha, I guess you wouldn't dare to do anything." Irina snorted softly.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Mag's forehead. Although that was the truth, as a man, how could he admit defeat so easily at a time like this? Smiling, he said, "You know that I'm actually quite brave."
"Is that so?" Irina suddenly pressed her hand on the door frame beside him and pressed him against the wall. She looked at him with a smile, and said, "Do you dare to move?"
Meg was half a head taller than Irina. Although he was pressed against the wall, he wasn't completely suppressed. He reached out to grab her wrist, and then wrapped his arm around her waist. He turned around slightly and pressed her against the wall. He asked, "Why wouldn't I dare?"
Irina was pressed against the wall by Meg, and their bodies were almost stuck together. His warm breath gently blew on her face, and it gave her a strange feeling. She blushed instantly.
Meg noticed Irina's strange behavior and realized that he was floating. He actually pressed against the wall against Irina. If she were to pick up a stool, he would die on the spot. He quickly let go of her hand and took two steps back. He coughed dryly and said awkwardly, "So … are Xiao Mi and the rest asleep?"
"Yes, they fell asleep a long time ago." Irina nodded.
"Then you should rest early too. I'll go and draw for a while." After that, he turned and walked to the study at the side. After he went in, he even closed the door behind him.
"Idiot, idiot, this idiot!!!" Irina looked at the closed study door and stomped her feet angrily. She snorted and turned around to enter the room.
"Phew … Luckily I'm smart." Meg leaned against the door and heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that his head would have been hit by the folding stool if he had been a second later.
Meg made a pot of tea, and went to the study. he had to write a proposal, and now he had to write a proposal about the collaboration with Gloria. it seemed like it was going to be another sleepless night. would be another sleepless night...
Fortunately, Mag knew all these things. It was just a matter of time, and everything else was not a problem.
He bought a computer and drawing tools from the system, and his drawing and typing efficiency increased a lot. He should be able to finish everything tonight.
Meg went to the washroom at midnight. When he came out of the study, he noticed that Gina's room was left ajar, as if it had been opened.
"Eh?" Meg was a little surprised. He had closed the door when he went out just now. Could someone have gone in?
Meg tiptoed to Gina's room without making any sound. He stood at the door and listened for a while. There was no special movement in the room. After hesitating for a while, Meg still pushed the door open gently.
The light from the corridor shone into the room through the open door. At the end of the light, it landed on a round thing.
Meg was shocked. He took a closer look. Eh? Isn't this Ugly Duckling?
The orange Ugly Duckling was squatting in front of the fish tank and staring in the direction of the fish tank. It was making a soft gurgling sound from its throat.
And in the fish tank, Gina was curled up in the innermost corner with her eyes closed. She was shivering as if she was having a nightmare.
Meg couldn't help but laugh when he saw that.
Alright, the case was solved.
The so-called scary eyes did exist, but they didn't come from the deep sea. They came from Ugly Duckling, who was on a diet.
Those hungry green eyes were indeed a little scary when they blinked in the dark.
It would be strange if a fish didn't have nightmares when it was being stared at by a cat while it was sleeping.
"Ugly Duckling, don't you dare have any ideas about Gina and her little fish." Meg walked in and picked up Ugly Duckling. Looking at Gina, who was still shivering slightly, he pondered for a while. He went back to his room to get a player, and played a soothing piano piece. He placed it beside the fish tank.
The gentle piano sound calmed Gina's fear.
Meg looked at Gina, whose body was gradually relaxing, and left the room.
"Meow ~" Ugly Duckling squatted outside the door and looked at Meg before looking at Gina's room. Its stomach started growling.
"Let's go. I'll make something for you to eat. Don't go to Gina's room again. She's having nightmares because of you." Meg walked downstairs helplessly.
"Meow!"
Ugly Duckling followed Meg's footsteps excitedly and dashed downstairs. Because it was too fast, it missed a step and rolled down the stairs.
"Meow ~" Ugly Duckling rested its chin on the floor and looked up at Meg as it meowed aggrievedly.
"You should go on a diet." Meg looked down at Ugly Duckling, which was almost as round as a beer, and couldn't help but laugh.
Although Ugly Duckling wasn't very big yet, and cats were longer, its body size was indeed a little too round for a kitten of its age.
Meg went into the kitchen, scooped up a crayfish from the water tank, and boiled it directly with clean water. Then, he removed all the shells, and placed a big bowl full of crayfish roe and crayfish meat in front of Ugly Duckling.
"Meow ~ Gulu, gulu ~" Ugly Duckling made a 'gulu' sound when it was in a good mood as it ate.
Meg looked at it from the side, and his hunger started to surge. Thinking that he still had to work for the rest of the night, he also made himself a plate of Yangzhou fried rice for supper.
Ugly Duckling finished an entire crayfish by itself, and rolled around at Meg's feet contentedly. It exposed its belly as if it was inviting Meg to pet it.
"I'm going to work. I don't have time to play with you." Meg finished the last mouthful of fried rice on the plate, washed the dishes, and continued to go upstairs to draw.
…
The next morning, Gina got up and ran downstairs immediately. She looked at Meg, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, and excitedly said, "Mr. Meg, I dreamed of you last night. That pair of scary eyes appeared again. Just when I was forced into a desperate situation, you also appeared. You chased away the scary monster and saved me."
"Er …" Meg looked at Gina. He didn't know how to explain that the scary monster was Ugly Duckling.
"Could it be … could it be that you are my prince?" Gina looked at Meg affectionately.
"Normally, dreams are the opposite. He might not be your prince, but that monster," Irina said with a smile as she appeared behind Gina out of nowhere.
