“Sob~” Sui Li’er was also confused in her heart: What is this? Why are the fingers of Lord God so thick? In her memory, Chen Ling’s fingers were slender and well-defined. How could they be so big?

She immediately let go, then took a glance, but it was too dark and she couldn’t see anything.

She sat up from under the blanket, lifted it, and looked around. However, it was too dark, and all she could see was someone rolling back and forth, clutching their crotch in pain—Chen Ling.

He was in pain, with his legs curled up. The pain he felt perhaps only a man could understand. Sui Li’er had no idea what he was doing. She thought she had bitten his hand and he was clutching it in pain.

“So painful…”

Chen Ling’s reaction surprised her. She didn’t use much force, so why was he in so much pain? Curious, she extended her own thumb and gently bit it.

“Mmm~” It didn’t hurt.

“Chen Ling?” Seeing him suddenly lying on his side and not moving, Sui Li’er couldn’t help but call out softly.

Chen Ling remained unresponsive.

“Chen Ling? I’m sorry… I think I bit too hard…” As she spoke, she tilted her head and couldn’t help but look at Chen Ling. She noticed that he was frowning tightly with his eyes closed.

Seeing this, Sui Li’er pursed her lips, crawled to the side of his face, pouting her small mouth, and knelt in front of him, whispering: “Chen Ling, it hurts a lot.”

Chen Ling in his heart: “…”

What a useless thing to say!

Chen Ling still remained silent.

Sui Li’er panicked!

In her memory, except when he was sleeping, Chen Ling hardly ever ignored her. Although sometimes it was better for him not to respond, he would still acknowledge her presence. When she spoke, he would always answer.

But this time, he really ignored her!

“I-I shouldn’t have bitten you! It hurts!” As she spoke, Sui Li’er grabbed Chen Ling’s left hand, looked at it, then let go and picked up his right hand.

Her cute little eyebrows furrowed, and she asked softly: “Chen Ling, I… which hand did I bite?”

Chen Ling: ?? Did you bite a hand? You think so?

He decided not to answer her, to save her from feeling embarrassed.

Sui Li’er, seeing him ignore her, pouted with a tinge of sadness. He’s really ignoring me… sob…

〚 Ding~ Target feels sad, points -100,000! 〛

Chen Ling: ???

He couldn’t help but curse in his mind: “Damn it, I’m the one who’s sad!”

〚 Ding~ OK, you’re sad too. I wish you happiness every year and every day~ 〛

Chen Ling paused for a moment. There must be something wrong with this system, right? Why does it feel like it’s acting like an idiot?

Lost in his thoughts, he forgot to pay attention to Sui Li’er and instead opened the system to carefully examine it.

Sui Li’er, seeing that Chen Ling was ignoring her, pouted and carefully examined his fingers: It should be the thumb, right?

With that in mind, she gently opened her mouth and slowly approached, blushing. “Aowu~”

She lightly held onto Chen Ling’s… thumb.

Chen Ling: ??? His hand instinctively trembled, thinking she was going to bite again.

But the subtle suction at his fingertip surprised him, causing him to open his eyes and look down. He saw Sui Li’er, like a little kitten, nestled beside him, burying her head and sucking on his thumb.

“What are you doing?!” Chen Ling looked at her with a strange expression, suspecting that she was up to something.

“Aowu~” Sui Li’er blushed and mumbled with her thumb in her mouth: “Is it still painful? When it hurts, umm~ putting it in the mouth makes it feel better.”

Sui Li’er had always done this before. Whenever her hand got scratched, she would immediately put it in her mouth, as if it could alleviate the pain.

Chen Ling: ???

The pain might have subsided, but it seems like you’re sucking on the wrong place. Oh well, never mind.

He didn’t want to scare Sui Li’er away. Last time, he scared her into a faint. He needed to exercise some restraint, probably until she could face him directly.

He swallowed his saliva and said without a good temper: “It’s still painful!” (Continue to suck it for me!)

“Aowu~” Sui Li’er felt remorse and fear as she shrank her neck, quickly moving her tongue to lick it a few times, trying to appease the irritable Chen Ling.

Chen Ling blushed and cleared his throat, thinking: Alright, since you’re apologizing so sincerely, I’ll forgive you…

“Feeling better now?”

“No!”

“Aowu~” Sui Li’er seemed tired from kneeling, so she lay down on her side beside Chen Ling while still holding his finger in her mouth. With her eyes open, she watched him.

Chen Ling glanced at her, just a glance, and suddenly awakened the gently beating heart of Sui Li’er. A “thump” sound, followed by a rapid acceleration.

Um… why does it feel a bit tingly?

I… I’m having a tingling sensation with Lord God!

No, no… how can this be called tingling? I’m just comforting him!

Sui Li’er suddenly stopped and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gently holding his finger without moving her tongue. After a while, she felt her brain lacking oxygen and couldn’t breathe properly.

She quickly let go and took deep breaths!

Chen Ling: “Wow, this really exhausted you. You’ve worked hard!”

“Aowu~ No…” Sui Li’er muttered softly with a flushed face.

“I… ” Sui Li’er didn’t know how to explain, as her inner thoughts were too embarrassing to say out loud. She could only anxiously defend herself with a flushed face: “It’s not exhausting!”

Chen Ling chuckled subtly and extended his own thumb. “What should I do if I’m still in pain?”

Sui Li’er, seeing this, lightly bit her lip and tremblingly extended her small hand: “Or… how about you bite me once, and then we’ll be even…”

Chen Ling glanced at her finger, then at her blushing face, and let out a cold laugh. Suddenly, he opened his mouth wide, as if he was about to bite Sui Li’er’s finger off!

Startled by his terrifying appearance, Sui Li’er instinctively pulled her hand back, but Chen Ling managed to bite it lightly. Although it appeared quite scary, he only gave a gentle bite.

“Wuwu~” Sui Li’er felt a slight pain in her fingertip, which frightened her heart, and she was on the verge of tears. She lamented: “Don’t scare me… wuwu~”

Chen Ling chuckled softly and released her finger.

She pouted and gently brought it up to her eyes, noticing the reddened teeth marks on it. Mainly because she was too fair-skinned, even a gentle bite could leave marks that would fade away after a while.

She pursed her lips, lightly clenched her small fist, and protected her thumb, whispering with a flushed face: “So, are we even now!”

Chen Ling: “Who told you we’re even?”

“Huh? Didn’t we agree to be even…” Sui Li’er thought Chen Ling was still angry and felt a bit wronged.

Chen Ling sneered: “Girl, since you dared to bite, of course, you have to pay a price!”

“Starting today, you have to let me bite you every day.”

(OoO)?

“Ah?! Why?”

“No why!”

“Oh~” Sui Li’er shyly pursed her lips, lowered her head to glance at her slightly reddened thumb, and lay down beside Chen Ling without saying another word.

She seemed tired after exerting so much energy during the assessment today, and she accidentally fell asleep.

Chen Ling, seeing this, commented: “You can fall asleep quite easily…”

With him by her side, she could sleep soundly, of course.

He glanced at her closed lips and remembered their first kiss during the assessment.
