"Huh?"
The sudden response not only stunned Shien, but even Ai Yi and La Xia couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression.
But at this time, the girl who called herself Jadeite didn't speak again. She just blinked her big eyes and quietly looked at everyone again.
Shien and the other two looked at each other in dismay.
This little girl called Jadeite seemed to be a little unbelievable.
Shien tried to communicate with her again, but apart from asking for her name, she would say "Jadeite, my name" with great difficulty. She wouldn't respond to anything else.
That appearance was simply like that of a newborn baby, and it caused others to feel that it was unimaginable.
Shien stopped trying to communicate with her.
"This is great. Apart from her name, I don't know what's going on at all."
Shien looked helpless.
Ai Yi and La Xia naturally couldn't do anything about it either.
No matter who it was, if a little girl was suddenly shoved into their house, and the instigators all committed suicide, and this little girl didn't know how to say or respond to anything other than her own name, they would be at their wit's end.
Ai Yi said something.
"Just throw her out."
Her indifferent tone made Shien feel for the first time that this guy was really a demon, and not just an ordinary kind of ruthless.
"If we abandon her now, the probability of her surviving outside is not high. Even if she survives, there is a high probability that she will encounter misfortune."
Hua Xia, on the other hand, spoke of the most worrying result in the calmest tone possible.
Shien couldn't refute.
Not to mention this girl who couldn't even speak, even if it was a healthy person at her age, it wouldn't be easy for them to survive alone in the outside world, right?
And this little girl called Jadeite was so cute, and one could tell at a glance that she was a beauty. If she was left alone, there was a 100% chance that she would be targeted by human traffickers. The probability of her entering a brothel or becoming a plaything for some nobles with special hobbies was also close to 100%.
Under such circumstances, to let Shien leave her alone, Shien wasn't that cruel.
Even though this situation seemed to be forced, which made Shien a little unhappy, but since things had already come to this, he could only take one step at a time.
"Let's leave her here first."
Shien made a decision. After sighing, he said so.
"Tomorrow, I will ask Captain Tris to see if I can get any information from him to find out the girl's identity and origin."
No matter what, he was the manager of this city, he should know something, right?
At least, that was Shien's hope.
To this …
"Since this is Mr. Shien's decision, I will naturally obey."
"Up to you, as long as you can take good care of her."
"Up to you, as long as you can take care of her."
Ai Yi was even more uninterested in this matter.
Obviously, although Jadeite looked a little unbelievable, it didn't arouse Ai Yi's interest, which made this demon seem a little unreasonable.
This little girl was always like this when it came to things that she wasn't interested in. Plus, she wasn't a kind-hearted person, so naturally, she wouldn't sympathize with others just because they looked young.
So, Ai Yi yawned, went back to her bedroom, and slept soundly.
Jadeite was taken away by La Xia, and La Xia prepared some food for her and helped the little girl take a bath.
In the hall, only Shien was left.
"Really …"
Shien scratched his head, having a premonition that he was involved in a troublesome matter.
"Rosie was right."
This trip was destined to not be smooth.
At least, they had just entered Duke Stringham's territory, and they had already encountered some trouble that they couldn't figure out.
"I hope we won't waste too much time."
Shien didn't want to spend too much energy on something that didn't make sense.
But Shien had a feeling.
"That little girl, I'm afraid her background isn't ordinary."
Leaving such a thought, Shien also went back to his room.
After lying on the bed, Shien suddenly realized something.
"I clearly wanted to find someone to sleep with me."
In an instant, he sat up from his deathbed.
"Erm …"
Shien was silent for a long time, then walked out of his room and sneaked into another room.
There, Ai Yi was hugging a small pillow, sleeping soundly.
Without hesitation, Shien got under Ai Yi's blanket, held the little girl in his arms, and rubbed her scalp.
Hmm, it was a little small, but at least it was warm and soft enough.
Satisfied, Shien fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't notice that after that, another figure came in and snuggled into his arms.
…
The next morning.
When Shien woke up, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
"Phew …"
"Ugh …"
Accompanied by the sound of two breaths, in Shien's arms lay two little girls, sleeping soundly.
For a moment, Shien couldn't react.
"Two?"
"Split?"
"Multiplied?"
"Hugged on both sides?"
Sean was not fully awake yet. He only felt that his hands were especially good. The two little girls were especially soft, and he felt like he had the world in his hands when he held the lolis in his hands.
It was not until a long time later that Sean woke up and saw the two little girls in his arms.
Of the two, one was naturally Ai Yi.
The girl didn't seem to have woken up, nor did she notice that someone had touched her bed. She was hugging a pillow while sleeping soundly, looking quite happy.
As for the other one, it was Jadeite.
He saw that the little girl had also changed into a set of pajamas, and like an obedient baby, she sucked on her thumb while sleeping soundly.
Shien held the two little girls in each hand, looking very much like a nanny.
The problem was …
"… Forget about Ai Yi, when did Jadeite appear?"
Shien was still in a daze.
Until a voice responded to him.
"She snuggled into the bed by herself, Mr. Shien."
He didn't know if it was natural or usual, but a calm and indifferent tone came from the room without any warning.
Shien didn't need to follow the voice to know that it must be a maid from a fortress showing off her skills again.
Shien was already used to it, so he looked over without any fuss.
Beside the bed, La Xia stood quietly and spoke under Shien's gaze.
"I thought she was harmless, and Mr. Shien should be happy, so I didn't stop her."
… In other words, you're just going to stand by and watch others crawl into your master's bed?
Should I praise you? Or should I praise you?
Also, what do you mean by 'should I be happy'?
What kind of impression do I have in your heart? After that, I really hope you can spend an hour to talk to me about it …
Shien, who was constantly complaining in his heart, finally accepted the situation and sighed.
"I have to sigh so early in the morning, what a gloomy day."
Shien said weakly and got up from the bed.
"Phew …"
"Oh …"
Ai Yi and Jadeite were still sleeping so sweetly, and there was no sign of them waking up.
Shien gently put the two little girls down, glanced at Jadeite who was sleeping soundly with her thumb in her mouth, and then looked at Ai Yi who was tightly hugging the pillow. He suddenly had an impulse.
"Now seems to be a good opportunity?"
Shien's eyes were nailed to Ai Yi's body.
To be more precise, it should be said that he was nailed to the pillow in Ai Yi's arms.
Shien had long been displeased with the pillow that had never left Ai Yi's embrace.
It was said that there was a big secret behind the pillow, and Shien had been spying on it for a long time.
Although Ai Yi had already promised Shien that she would let him have a look after the Old Demons Faction in Stringham's territory was settled, but now that they were in Stringham's territory, it was not too much to ask for the reward first, right?
Thinking of this, Shien's impulse became stronger and stronger.
"Okay, just a little …"
At that moment, Shien rubbed his palms, and slowly reached into Ai Yi's arms.
"I don't think this is good."
In the process, a calm and cold voice floated over, as if trying to stop Shien.
Unfortunately, Shien completely ignored it, and continued to slowly reach out with his heart beating faster.
Close … already close …
Just as Shien's hand touched the pillow, before he could get excited, Ai Yi's eyes suddenly opened.
"… What are you doing?"
Ai Yi looked at the hands reaching into her arms, and after a long silence, looked at Shien with an expressionless face and a cold tone.
"… Would you believe me if I said I was just reaching out?"
The corner of Shien's mouth twitched, and he laughed dryly.
"What do you think?"
Ai Yi was still expressionless, and only looked at Shien with disdain.
"What … What does it matter!" As if provoked, Shien flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Since we're already in Stringham's territory, you have to show me after you've dealt with the Old Demons Faction, so what's wrong with showing me first?"
As he spoke, Sean stretched out his hand and was ready to take Ai Yi by surprise. He grabbed the pillow and pulled it out of Ai Yi's arms.
Unfortunately, as soon as Shien's hand moved, Ai Yi's little hand flung out as if she was throwing something.
Shien immediately felt dizzy, and did not know what was happening. His whole body seemed to be thrown up, first flying up to the ceiling, and then falling heavily on the bed, and lying on his back.
No one knew when Feicui had been taken away by Hu Xia. She was sleeping in the arms of the maid, so she was not implicated.
Ai Yi also got off the bed and stood on the other side.
"I said we'll talk after you've dealt with the Old Demons Faction, which means we'll talk after you've dealt with the Old Demons Faction."
Ai Yi looked down at Shien, who was lying on the bed, speechless.
"You're also the first person who dared to climb into my bed in the middle of the night, and hug me to sleep. You should be content."
Leaving such words, Ai Yi turned and left.
La Xia also took Emerald and left indifferently.
Only Shien was left alone, lying on the bed, sad.
"Isn't it just a little exercise?"
What a fuss.
