Ye Wen stayed holed up in her room all day. Thanks to that, Shuizishi didn't have to work either, spending the entire day watching anime at the computer.
Even dinner was brought up by Shuizishi.
Shuizishi seemed hooked on feeding her. Even though Ye Wen could eat by herself now, Shuizishi still fed her while watching anime.
Ye Wen felt it wasn't Shuizishi feeding her—it was more like she was leaning toward the spoon herself...
"Oh, by the way, Young Miss~" Shuizishi placed the last spoonful of rice into Ye Wen's mouth, suddenly remembering something. "The Head Maid told me to sleep with you tonight."
"Eh?"
"It's to take care of you, Miss. I'll be sleeping with you for the next few days." Shuizishi winked at Ye Wen.
"Hmm..." This time, Ye Wen didn't refuse. Hugging a maid-shaped pillow to sleep—even if she didn't "devour" it, it was still a treat! She couldn't let go now. Her body had just recovered a bit, and her perverted soul started burning fiercely again.
...
As night fell, Ye Wen lay in bed early, her head foggy and heavy with sleepiness. According to Shuizishi, the meal had sleep-inducing medicine and sleep-promoting ingredients.
Shuizishi closed the bright floor-to-ceiling window, shutting out the sound of waves. The curtains weren't fully drawn—only half-closed, leaving gaps. The bright moon spilled its pure light onto the bedsheets.
Shuizishi took off her maid uniform, put on white silk stockings and an oversized shirt. She adjusted the AC temperature, turned off the light, and slipped into bed.
"Huh..." The little maid shivered; the bed was colder inside than out. "Miss, are you asleep?"
"Mmm... huh?" Ye Wen replied drowsily, eyes closed.
"Miss, are you cold?" Shuizishi asked again.
Ye Wen didn't answer, just nodded slightly. In the cool moonlight, Shuizishi vaguely made out her movement. "If you're cold, just hug me," she said.
Shuizishi hugged Ye Wen. It was like embracing an ice block—bone-chillingly cold.
Ye Wen felt a soft, warm heater pressed against her body. Instantly, she warmed up.
Shuizishi's body was cozy, like a big hot water bottle. Ye Wen felt her whole body relax and soon drifted off to sleep.
Late at night.
"Mmm... huh..." Ye Wen muttered in her sleep, frowning. Cold sweat slid down her forehead.
So painful... it hurts like hell... I want to cut off my stomach... She tried to sink back into dreams to dull the pain, but it grew sharper. Her mind cleared against her will.
Shuizishi felt the trembling in her arms. She nuzzled Ye Wen's cheek and held her tighter.
Who's the pillow here! Ye Wen realized this was nothing like she'd imagined. Had she become the抱枕?
Ye Wen turned her head, wanting Shuizishi to loosen her grip.
Just as she opened her mouth, warm breath brushed her face. Shuizishi's soft lips pressed against hers. A little tongue, slippery as a snake, slid inside.
"Mmph? Mmm?" Ye Wen's eyes widened. For a moment, the pain vanished. She felt only that little tongue stirring, as if by magic, sucking out her soul.
This sudden tenderness made Ye Wen—single for 26 years—lose all ability to think.
"I don't want to be a man anymore!" she screamed inwardly.
After a while, Shuizishi's tongue seemed bored and withdrew. She buried her head in Ye Wen's chest and kept snoring.
The pain rushed back. After that warmth, it felt even fiercer.
"I take back what I just said!" Ye Wen grumbled in her heart.
The pain lasted most of the night. Without Shuizishi's tight embrace, Ye Wen would have been rolling in bed.
Finally, as dawn neared, the pain faded. Exhausted, Ye Wen fell asleep again.
Morning sunlight spilled into the room. The warm rays made the air feel restless.
"Miss~ Time to wake up~" Shuizishi got up, washed, and brought breakfast from downstairs. The wall clock read nine.
"Mmm... five more minutes..." Ye Wen mumbled, turning over to keep snoring.
"Miss! Miss!"
"Don't... bother..." Ye Wen said indistinctly. "Go... watch anime..."
"Eh? Can I turn on the computer?" Shuizishi asked excitedly.
"Hmm." Ye Wen replied simply.
Yesterday, Ye Wen had taught Shuizishi computer basics. Today, though clumsy, she managed to open the anime.
Ye Wen slept until the sun hung high overhead. Under Shuizishi's guidance, she put on a large sanitary pad, then walked weakly to the computer.
"Oh, right, Miss. Madam told me to say there's a banquet tonight. You'll need to dress up nicely later."
"Eh? Dress up nicely?" Ye Wen could barely tie a decent ponytail. Looking pretty was impossible for her.
"The Head Maid will come to pick your outfit," Shuizishi said.
Ye Wen sighed in relief. So she wouldn't have to do it herself. What would makeup look like on her? Super cute? Staring at the floor-length mirror, she imagined fancy dresses—even some embarrassing lingerie.
She shook her head, banishing those thoughts. Breakfast waited in a thermal container. With the warm AC on, it was still hot.
"Eh? Miss? Lunch is almost ready."
"But wasting breakfast isn't right?"
"Just toss it," the little maid said casually.
Ye Wen sweat-dropped. Maids in rich houses were more generous than her... But her frugal habits won. She ate every bite.
After a whole day, they finally finished Cardcaptor Sakura Season 1. Shuizishi checked the time and dashed down for lunch.
This time, they ate together in the room—Madam's orders, even the Head Maid couldn't stop it.
Lunch was exquisite. Ye Wen's portion was specially cooked just for her. The colors looked delicious, but her tiny stomach was already full. Nothing else would fit.
Damn... I really should've thrown away breakfast...
