To sit next to his own little white-haired girl, Mo Bai deliberately chose a four-seater table upon entering the restaurant, positioning Bai Xia on the same side as him.
Because they were sitting too close, a few strands of the girl’s hair that fell between them even accidentally touched Mo Bai’s arm, shimmering with a silky luster under the light.
“Really… why insist on a four-seater when a two-seater would suffice?”
Unable to understand Mo Bai’s actions, Bai Xia could only mutter a few complaints to herself. Perhaps this is what having money is like.
However, that wasn’t the main issue. The real problem was, even with plenty of space, why was Mo Bai constantly leaning towards her? If he leaned any closer, she would be flattened!
Bai Xia felt a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, inching herself into the corner as a result. But every time she moved, Mo Bai would inch closer, until Bai Xia found herself backed into a corner, with Mo Bai pressing her against the wall.
”Mo… Mo, that’s enough…” Bai Xia’s face turned bright red as she finally protested, pushing her small hand against Mo Bai’s chest. ‘There’s no more room here, stop crowding me.’
Although she didn’t mind being close to Mo Bai, this was a restaurant, and it was embarrassing to be so intimate in public! Plus, she was genuinely struggling to breathe under his pressure.
Bai Xia glanced around nervously, afraid others might see their intimate stance. But instead of backing off, Mo Bai wrapped his arms around her waist, making her hands against his chest useless and only serving to make her seem like she was playing hard to get.
”You… you said you wouldn’t bully me…” Bai Xia’s face flushed as she felt the boy’s breath so close. The faint scent of pine from Mo Bai mixed with the sweet aroma of coconut chicken in the restaurant, making her heart race. She lowered her head, using her long, white hair to hide her crimson cheeks. ‘If you keep this up… I’m really going to get mad…’
Being in a public place with other diners around, Bai Xia didn’t dare protest loudly, afraid of drawing attention. But her protests seemed weak and more like flirtation.
Seriously! He always bullied her like this! How could he be so shameless?
Bai Xia pouted, her ruby-red eyes welling up with tears. Ever since she started interacting with Mo Bai as a girl, he had been taking more and more liberties, making her feel so embarrassed that she almost wished she were dead.
The girl poked at the chicken in her bowl with her chopsticks, glaring at Mo Bai in annoyance, like a little kitten that had been bullied but dared not fight back, making Mo Bai want to laugh.
He reached out and gently pinched Bai Xia’s puffed-up cheek. “She’s my little maid, so what if I bully her a bit?”
“Who… who said I’m your maid!” Bai Xia instantly bristled, her long white hair fluffing up. She wanted to swing her little fists in anger, but seeing the glances from nearby customers, she immediately curled up, her voice dropping an octave. “I… I’m just temporarily working here… And get your hand off me!”
Seeing her cute and cowardly expression, Mo Bai couldn’t help but put a tender piece of chicken leg in Bai Xia’s bowl. “Okay, okay, so my temporary little maid, would you like to have dinner with me?”
“Then you sit over there… you rascal…”
“I know, try this, the pig’s trotter is also delicious.”
By the time they finished dinner and returned to the apartment complex, the night had enveloped the entire city. The scattered streetlights in the community park below the buildings created a warm band of light, casting long shadows of the two. Bai Xia even carried a bag with a cute pink nightgown that Mo Bai had bought for her at the mall.
Truthfully, Bai Xia hadn’t had so much fun in a long time. Usually, her weekends were spent working part-time jobs to make ends meet, with no leisure to enjoy herself like today, let alone having someone accompany her.
“Is it fun?” Mo Bai suddenly asked, his voice unusually gentle in the night.
The night breeze ruffled the girl’s long white hair, a few strands playfully sticking to Mo Bai’s sleeve. Bai Xia looked down at the bag containing the fluffy pink nightgown, her ruby-red eyes glinting in the night.
“Mm…” She nodded softly, her voice sweet and delicate. “It’s been a long time… since I’ve had so much fun.”
After days of help and intimacy, and given his role as her master, the girl finally let down her last guard, following the boy obediently like a small, seeking cat. After all, aside from everything else, Mo Bai was one of the few people who truly cared for her.
So… if she compromises a bit, it wouldn’t be so bad…
The thought had barely formed in her mind when Bai Xia quickly dismissed it, blushing as she scolded herself in her head: Bai Xia, are you crazy? How could you have such an embarrassing thought!
Even if she was a girl now, she would never easily give in!
Well… to absorb some energy, compromising a bit might not be so bad…
After returning to Mo Bai’s apartment, Bai Xia hugged the new nightgown and rushed into the bathroom. Although the clothes weren’t washed, since Mo Bai said it looked cute on her, Bai Xia decided to wear it tonight. After all, cleaning the clothes with her abilities was no trouble, as long as she could absorb a bit of Mo Bai’s blood.
Not like she was trying to seduce him or anything! She wasn’t that kind of girl who would easily sell her body!
Turning on the shower, the warm water washed over the girl’s flushed cheeks, but couldn’t dispel the chaotic thoughts in her mind. About the vague memory of accidentally drinking Mo Bai’s blood, Bai Xia only knew that after drinking it, she would enter a strange state, but it probably wasn’t a big deal.
But how should she bring this up with Mo?
The girl sighed softly as she showered, her long white hair wet and clinging to her smooth back. In the steamy bathroom, a pair of ruby-red eyes flickered with turmoil, as she struggled to find the right words. After all, this was a delicate matter, and if Mo asked why she needed his blood specifically…
Maybe she could say that human blood provides more energy? After much thought, this seemed to be the best explanation.
Turning off the water, Bai Xia wrapped herself in a towel and exited the bathroom, her wet white hair dripping down her back. She felt she shouldn’t occupy the bathroom too long since Mo Bai still needed to shower. Stealthily, she slipped back to her room, drying her body and hair, before blushing and picking up the pink nightgown Mo Bai had bought her.
“It… it’s so short…” Standing in front of the mirror, Bai Xia saw that the hem of the nightgown barely reached her mid-thigh, making her toes curl in embarrassment.
This was so short that it was almost indecent, even for walking around her room. Even after becoming a girl, she had never worn anything so revealing.
Of course, this nightgown was probably designed to make it easier for that rascal to take advantage of her!
But at this point, there didn’t seem to be any other choice. After all, before going to school the next day, she needed to replenish her dwindling energy.
‘Sigh…’ The girl mumbled to herself in resignation. ‘I guess… I guess I’ll just wear it this once…’
She slipped off the towel, using a bit of energy to clean the nightgown, and shyly put it on. But to absorb blood, she would need to wait until Mo Bai fell asleep.
It’s not like sharing a bed is a big deal… what’s there to be afraid of…
