The Embrace and its Aftermath

“What’s wrong?” Li Chunsheng asked Liuxia, puzzled by her reaction.

His face bore an expression of innocent ignorance.

“No, nothing!” Liuxia replied, her heart filled with regret. She had mistakenly thought that her junior had discovered something and wanted to question her, but it turned out to be just a false alarm.

“I hope Chunsheng didn’t notice those unsightly marks,” the girl prayed silently.

“If he did, I wouldn’t be able to stay by his side anymore.”

In truth, Liuxia’s emotions had not settled as quickly as she appeared. Even until just now, her body and mind were still resonating with the aftereffects of being in Li Chunsheng’s embrace.

The cheerful, outgoing demeanor she had displayed was merely a cover for the turmoil she felt inside.

Those moments of excitement and the actions she had taken left Liuxia feeling like a monster.

Yes, a monster.

“Could it be that even now, I’m still a goblin at heart?” Liuxia couldn’t help but recall the feeling of being held in Li Chunsheng’s arms…

At first, Liuxia had willingly embraced him, playing the part of a loving couple. Everything was under her control.

Even when Li Chunsheng unexpectedly kissed her, it only surprised her briefly. Realizing that this would help her play her part better, she allowed it to continue, even encouraging him.

Things were going as planned.

Even when her body ached from Li Chunsheng’s vigorous movements, Liuxia, considering herself a man, felt no shame or pain!

However, something unexpected occurred. It was the scent of blood on Li Chunsheng.

Though the source of this scent was Liuxia’s own biting before the transformation, it was strange how Li Chunsheng could afford to heal so completely. But that was beside the point.

Even after Li Chunsheng’s injuries had healed, the lingering scent of blood remained.

As Liuxia stayed longer in his embrace, she became increasingly aware of the irresistible allure of the blood on her beloved junior.

This scent was almost too much for her to resist, reminding her of the urge she felt before fully transforming into a mindless goblin.

“Chunsheng smells so good…” The thought suddenly crossed her mind.

Once it surfaced, it became impossible to control, despite her efforts.

Thus, Liuxia left traces of her saliva on Li Chunsheng’s chest, practically covering all the bloodstains.

This was why she had chattered so much earlier, trying to distract him from noticing.

Returning to the scene with the two brothers…

“Is that so?” Li Chunsheng, hearing Liuxia say “nothing,” didn’t think much of it. He assumed his senior was still frightened from the previous chase, and his heart filled with sympathy.

“Despite his cheerful demeanor, he must still be very scared,” Li Chunsheng thought.

Seeing that Li Chunsheng had been successfully deceived, a gleam flashed in Liuxia’s red eyes.

“Now is the time! I must quickly destroy all evidence!”

In the next instant, Liuxia rushed forward, gently helping Li Chunsheng remove his shirt. “Look at you,” she said with a sigh, “your clothes are so dirty. You can’t keep wearing them like this.”

“You’re just like a child when I’m not around to take care of you.”

“Ah, well…” Li Chunsheng scratched his head embarrassingly. His senior was always treating him like a little kid.

“I can’t help but take care of you, so let me wash this for you!”

“Actually… at home, I have…” Li Chunsheng tried to protest, but a finger gently pressed against his lips.

“No~ Since you’ve taken me in, I should do something for this family too!” Liuxia said with a smile.

Well, since his senior had said so, Li Chunsheng had no choice but to comply.

“Yes! I’ve got the junior’s clothes!” Liuxia cheered inwardly, watching herself happily take Li Chunsheng’s clothes to the bathroom.

Li Chunsheng watched, slightly dazed.

“If I didn’t know that my senior was a man, this moment would feel like a newlywed’s life…”

“Well… but if she were a girl, such a beautiful girl wouldn’t be with someone like me.”

Li Chunsheng sighed wryly.

After all, who would have such a tragic fate as a crossdresser, with a golden finger but unable to use it effectively? Although it saved some money, he had to be very careful not to reveal it.

Apart from his golden finger and good looks, Li Chunsheng’s abilities were extremely ordinary, barely a high school graduate, and doomed to be a commoner all his life.

Even if he managed to find a woman to marry, it would likely be a very ordinary woman, and he would probably have to use a large part of his savings for it.

Li Chunsheng had already accepted his fate, but today’s events had stirred his ambitions.

“By the way, I should look into the changes in my body,” Li Chunsheng raised his arm, examining the perfect healing of his injuries from the previous encounter.

“There’s not a single scar left…”

As he examined, his attention began to wander, for no matter how he looked, it was just a normal arm. No amount of staring would reveal anything.

“Eh?”

Suddenly, Li Chunsheng’s brow furrowed. His wandering gaze fell upon a peculiar spot on his well-built upper body.

“I remember, yesterday, my chest had a few mosquito bites?” Li Chunsheng scratched his head, trying to recall.

“Could it be that when my arm healed, these bites were cured too?” He mused, “Maybe I should try something?”

At that moment, Liuxia emerged from the bathroom, beaming with joy. “Chunsheng, you have a washing machine at home, that’s so convenient!”

“Ah… that? It’s left by the landlord~” Li Chunsheng replied with a smile.

Actually, these were all bought with his golden finger savings. But to the outside world, Li Chunsheng often used excuses, attributing his possessions to others or borrowing them.

This way, he could hide his unusually high consumption from his golden finger.

It was Li Chunsheng’s way of using his golden finger to improve his living quality.

“What a kind person!” Liuxia said without suspicion. “Chunsheng hasn’t eaten yet, so let me cook for you! You won’t need to order takeout anymore!”

“That would be wonderful! I’ll help too!” Li Chunsheng nodded with a smile.

It was also a chance for Li Chunsheng to test if he had acquired any new abilities?
