I turned into a beautiful girl

The sound of the clock hand moving rhythmically echoed in the living room. Incomparable to the spacious bed, the narrow sofa made Yu Xia feel intensely unhappy.

"Ugh."

The pain of being unable to sleep constantly tortured Yu Xia's spirit. Yu Xia was lying on the sofa, eager to find a comfortable position to help her fall asleep, and turned her body again.

"Xiaoxia, you better not change recently. Things have become complicated."

Sister's words echoed in Yu Xia's mind.

The beautiful face was tense, and a serious expression was rarely revealed on the gentle sister's cheek. A low voice came out of her small mouth, warning Yu Xia that this was not something that could be ignored.

Has it gotten complicated?…

What should I do?

Give up on sleeping.

After releasing the power of her tightly closed eyes, Yu Xia's eyes came into view with the simple ceiling hanging a fan. The street lights on the road penetrated through the gaps in the curtains and entered Yu Xia's living room. The thoughts in my mind were mixed together in a complicated way, like the headphones in my pocket.

With only minimal protection provided by yellowing street lights, the pure white ceiling is slowly being invaded by darkness. Due to the parallax caused by light, the white tone turns into a dim gray and black.

The darkness floating in the world, trying to catch the worried existence of her sister, Yu Xia raised her right hand towards the ceiling with nothing. The five fingers were closed, and in order to hold the nothingness in her hands tightly, her nails dug into her flesh, but Yu Xia did not let go.

"If I hadn't made such a wish to Hua Ling at that time, wouldn't these things have happened now?"

Making assumptions about the different choices he made at that time, evasive questioning unconsciously leaked out of Yu Xia's mouth.

High-rise buildings that lost their foundation support collapsed.

He loosened the strength of his clenched fist and released the strength of his raised right hand. Letting his weak right hand slap on his cheek, Yu Xia curled up ineffectively.

"Oh? You can't pretend that I can't hear this? Are you acting like this because you want to break your promise?"

Hua Ling's low question came from the dark place that the poor Lu Guang could not reach. She took steps and gradually approached Yu Xia on the sofa.

"Why don't you speak?"

Containing the brilliance of resentment, Hua Ling's bright red pupils, as red as red flames, met Yu Xia's. The cherry-colored little mouth opened slightly and spit out a powerful question.

The slender legs with the knee socks off were placed on Yu Xia's belly, and a cruel smile was outlined on her young cheeks. I believe that Yu Xia's answer made Hua Ling a little dissatisfied, and Hua Ling's right foot would pierce Yu Xia's belly.

"Of course not! I'm just curious about my life of making different choices."

The voice became sharper, and the body lying flat on her back tensed up. Yu Xia's consciousness unconsciously focused on her belly, which was in contact with Hua Ling's soles.

"Oh? Is that just that?"

"Really, it's just like that! Lingling, what's wrong with you? Why are you still up so late?"

Suspicious light was born in Hua Ling's eyes, and she slightly increased the strength on her feet. Hua Ling's belly felt pressure, and the skin and flesh were torn, stimulating Yu Xia's pain nerves.

While panickingly confirming Hua Ling's question, Yu Xia abruptly changed the subject, trying her best to expand her chances of survival.

"It's not because you, as a pet, have been awake and thinking about random things, which makes me unable to sleep. My soul is connected to yours, right?"

"Ah...sorry..."

Feeling guilty, Yu Xia avoided Hua Ling's direct gaze and apologized bluntly.

"So what are you thinking about? Tell me. As a master, I have to care about the mood of my pet from time to time."

Putting away her right foot that was resting on Yu Xia's belly, Hua Ling pushed Yu Xia's lying feet with her hands, gesturing for him to give up part of the sofa for her to sit on.

Playing with her hanging hair, Hua Ling leaned on the sofa and expressed Yu Xia's care in a condescending manner. Her young cheeks were slightly hot. If Yu Xia's night vision was better, he would have seen Hua Ling's cheeks become as red as molten iron.

"It's nothing, Lingling, don't worry. Just go to bed and you'll be fine~"

Yu Xia sat up, her shoulders touching Hua Ling's. The hot body temperature passed through her pajamas and reached Yu Xia's nerves. Compared to her own affairs, Yu Xia still chose to put Hua Ling's affairs first.

"If you say such things, I will really be angry!"

"..."

Silence fell.

Yu Xia, who didn't know what to say at this moment, chose to stay silent temporarily to avoid making Hua Ling even more angry.

"Is it because Yu Qiu said those words? I told you not to transform, because things have become serious or something? Are you bothered by this?"

It pierced Yu Xia's troubles.

Raising her head and looking directly at Yu Xia's cheek with her red pupils, Hua Ling penetrated Yu Xia's thoughts.

"Ah, um... I guess so... To be honest, I don't know exactly what I'm bothered about."

A dry and stiff smile graced the corners of Yu Xia's lips. He scratched the back of his head with his hand and hesitantly expressed the troubles that confused him.

"You are really an idiot~~"

"You're not an idiot!"

After a long period of research and proof, scientists finally came up with a formula that can be printed in future textbooks.

Showing a cute smile, Hua Ling stretched out her finger and lightly poked Yu Xia's cheek. Her cheeks became hot, and Yu Xia made a strong rebuttal as she avoided Hua Ling's thrusting fingers.

"Oh? If you weren't an idiot, would you still be so worried that you couldn't sleep without any reason?"

"I'm not so worried that I can't sleep!"

Unable to find a reason to refute, Yu Xia could only increase her voice and use strong words to refute.

"Oh~~Then why are you still not sleeping at this point?"

She had no intention of letting Yu Xia go, and with a smile like a little devil, Hua Ling caught the flaw in Yu Xia's words and pursued her without hesitation.

"..."

Silence fell.

Unable to refute, Yu Xia fell silent.

"You, take care of me!"

The brain working at full speed tried to provide Yu Xia with the vocabulary to fight back, but Yu Xia's meager vocabulary was unable to organize an effective counterattack. In the end, he could only make a speech as angry as a child.

"Angry? Angry? So you are the idiot~"

Seize the opponent's visual blind spot and launch a brutal attack.

As if she was addicted, Hua Ling kept poking Yu Xia's cheeks while repeating the conclusion she had just reached.

"Woo!!!"

A low growl of dissatisfaction sounded from Yu Xia's throat, and there was nothing he could do except issue the minimum threat of dissatisfaction.

"The things you are worrying about are not worth worrying about."

He raised the heavy hammer and swung it down at the thick wall made of distress.

Hua Ling, who changed from poking to pinching, regarded Yu Xia as her own toy. Hua Ling played with Yu Xia's cheek wantonly while making a speech to appease Yu Xia's mood.

"Yu Qiu said he wanted you to transform, but he didn't tell you not to transform. Did you just say that? If you hadn't signed a contract with me at that time, wouldn't things have turned out like this? Of course! The thing is It won’t be like this! Because——you will die!”

Smooth tone, simple words.

But it became the sharpest blade, piercing into Yu Xia's heart.

After releasing her hands that were squeezing Yu Xia's cheeks, Hua Ling leaned against Yu Xia's body. Putting her head on Yu Xia's shoulder, she put all her strength on Yu Xia's body.

"Of course, you could have chosen not to save Zhuang Xueying at that time. But the person who died at that time would become Zhuang Xueying. In this case, would you still say that it was right that you did not sign a contract with me at that time?"

"..."

The silence continues.

I don’t know what expression to put on and what tone to respond to. Swallowing the saliva in her mouth, Yu Xia allowed the silence to continue.

"Yu Qiu said that things have become complicated, but he didn't say what things became complicated at all. You don't have to worry about anything, just be the idiot you have always been."

She put her hands on Yu Xia's arms, as if she was afraid that Yu Xia would run away, Hua Ling tightened her grip to the limit.

"If anything hits you, just fight back! Protect what you want to protect, and implement what you think should be implemented! You must know that I am always here."

Expressing her will through words, Hua Ling's words penetrated Yu Xia's confused heart.

The body became hot and the blood flow rate increased. He opened his mouth to respond to Hua Ling's words, but Yu Xia's throat was about to burn, making him unable to make a sound.

Sitting stiffly on the soft sofa, time passed by bit by bit. During this period, she didn't make any sound. Hua Ling, who put her head on Yu Xia's shoulder, did not protest against Yu Xia's silence.

"I, I know..."

The flame that cannot be broken can only be allowed to burn until all the objects that can burn are burned out.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Xia, who had regained her voice, finally responded to Hua Ling's speech.

"Hoo~~ho~~"

"Eh?"

A slight snort was given to Yu Xia in response. Hua Ling, who was leaning on Yu Xia's shoulder, had already fallen asleep unconsciously. Looking at Hua Ling's sleeping face with slight surprise, a warm feeling rose in her heart. A soft smile appeared on Yu Xia's cheeks.

Just sleep like this...

Seeing her arm tightly held by Hua Ling, Yu Xia could only choose to maintain the status quo. His eyes slowly closed, and he fell into sleep with the sound of the clock ticking.
