Chapter 157: Overnight
"I don't want to go back." Angelina said, "Can you let me stay overnight?" β
Ling Jian didn't think about it, his face was full of impatience: "I'm sorry, I don't have a guest room at home......"
But the girl turned a deaf ear, looked straight at him with both eyes, and repeated word by word: "Please, must, let me stay overnight!" Please! β
Although it was said "please", the tone was heavy and full of a strong will that could not be violated.
Who did you learn this girl's personality from? Ling Jian couldn't help frowning, and at the same time, his patience was at the limit. He could allow someone to disturb him for the time being, but it obviously couldn't be too long. Essentially, Ling Key rejects all beings who enter their "territory".
What's more, although Angelina is a delicate girl on the outside, the powerful power she exudes in her gestures is comparable to that of a high-ranking demon. Or because of the reason for holding the magic sword "Rakshasa", Ling Jian could feel the magic power that was faintly lingering around this girl...... All of this unnerved him.
Even though he knew that Angelina would not hurt him, the instinct that had been deeply imprinted in his soul was constantly alerting Ling Key, making him feel seriously insecure.
In any case, it is impossible to let her stay! Ling Jian made a decision in his heart.
"You ......" Suddenly, I don't know if it was an illusion, Ling Jian suddenly saw that the girl's eyes showed a look that seemed to be pleading, as if begging him not to drive her away.
That touch of weakness was fleeting, and when he looked at it again, it had been replaced by firmness and toughness again, making Ling Key wonder if he had seen it wrong. But that look made his heart soften, and he swallowed the words that he was about to say again.
"The guest room is upstairs, so if you don't understand something, just ask the assistant." Ling Jian stiffly switched the original refusal sentence, left a dry sentence, and then turned to leave, and walked into his room.
"Ling said, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me." The metallic female voice suddenly rang out.
Angelina furrowed her brows and smiled pleasantly: "Thank you very much!" β
Then he asked loudly behind Ling Key, "By the way, didn't you just say that there are no guest rooms?" β
"That's my spare bedroom up there, can't you?" Ling Jian replied angrily.
Then he walked into the room where the circular robot was standby. Angelina had been to the house a lot before, and knew that it was the largest bedroom in the house, the master bedroom. Of course, it must be Ling Key's own bedroom now.
And a spare bedroom or something, Angelina wouldn't believe it, how could there be such a strange person.
In fact, Ling Jian didn't lie to her, the original guest room upstairs was indeed regarded by him as a spare bedroom. Because the master bedroom downstairs was converted into his own laboratory - because when it was built before, the soundproofing of the master bedroom was very good. For Ling Key, this means that it can effectively isolate the noise interference from the outside world, which is quite an ideal laboratory compared to other rooms!
However, because it had not been long since he had just moved in, Ling Key only had time to clean up and decorate the first floor, and the room on the second floor was still being processed. In addition, Ling Jian later found that the "laboratory" was a bit big, so he simply separated a space as his bedroom, which was just convenient for his research experiments, and he was too lazy to run back and forth upstairs. As a result, the bedroom on the second floor was temporarily put on hold.
Ascending to the second floor, Angelina carefully noticed that it was indeed not as renovated as it was downstairs. Although the whole thing has been re-cleaned, many places have not had time to be re-arranged.
With her familiarity with the house, albeit in its previous "ruins" state, Angelina found the location of the guest room without relying on the guidance of her assistant.
Pushing open the door, there was a mess inside. Of course, it's a different story than the dusty pile of broken and rotten furniture before. This room has also been renovated and renovated. Furnishings such as beds and wardrobes are also available. It's just that this place seems to be used as a "warehouse" by Ling Key, the bed is covered with all kinds of brand-new bedding, and a half-open wardrobe is also stuffed with men's shirtsβall brand new, and even the packaging has not been opened.
It's late summer and early autumn, and the weather isn't too cold, so these thick bedding are obviously prepared for winter, and of course they are not needed at this time. That's why Ling Key's brain was piled up here.
Angelina wrinkled her nose: "It's really not a guest room......"
"Yes," the metal female voice said, "Ling never lies. β
Angelina looked at the speaker in the corner of the room: "Are you all over the room?" β
The assistant also seemed to know what the girl cared about: "My voice terminal is installed in every room, but the image entry terminal is not set up in the bedroom and bathroom. In other words, I can't 'see' you now, I can only talk to you. β
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the room again: "Okay, let's tidy up now!" Is there a place to put these quilt sheets? β
"There's plenty of room in the cupboard next to it." The metal female voice said.
From the floor to the bed, to the bedding on the bed, it was all brand new. This made Angelina inexplicably feel at ease - when she was downstairs, she always had a feeling as if she was "depressed". At first, Angelina didn't realize it, but as time went by, and Ling Key's impatience grew, the feeling of depression became more and more obvious.
Soon, Angelina, who has rich experience in survival and combat in the wild, reacted to the feeling of hostility and rejection she felt when she strayed into the territory of a certain fierce beast or magical beast with a strong sense of territory in the wilderness.
No wonder, Ling Key felt different to her in this room. It turns out that this "home" is his territory, and Angelina is the outsider who broke into his territory.
Maybe it's because the upstairs isn't developed enough, or maybe it's a little farther away from Ling Key; In short, this brand new room has not left too many "traces" of Ling Key. This gave Angelina a lot of peace of mind.
In the studio, Angelina and Snow, two girls, live together and are full of various life skills since childhood. At this time, tidying up a room and making a bed is a piece of cake at all.
Because Ling Key gave her a "supreme authority", the assistant made it clear that this room could be disposed of by Angelina herself.
Soon, the bedroom was given a new look. Although the room is not large, it is very warm and suitable for living under Angelina's tidying. The same room and the same layout, it will be obviously different if it is cleaned up by the girl, even if everything in the original room was purchased by Ling Key from a male perspective.
Looking at the fruits of her labor, Angelina nodded with satisfaction: "Although there are still some decorations missing...... But it's perfect, it's that guy's home, after all. It would be nice to have a sword stand over there......"
The girl shook her head and shook off her delusions: "It's already very good! I've wanted to stay in this house for a long time! I wanted to buy it next year, but he was the first to do it! β
Thinking of this, the girl was a little angry, because she was only seventeen years old and underage, so she didn't move out. It's not that Angelina doesn't want to live in the studio with Snow, it's just that she always feels that she is also an ace witcher, and she should have a room of her own like the other predecessors. And Snow can still move in with her!
Angelina has also taken a fancy to this house for a long time, but this house has been idle for a long time, and Angelina knows that no one will buy it except herself. That's why she wasn't in a hurry to start - she wanted to wait until next month's eighteenth birthday before placing an order, which was considered a birthday gift for herself.
As a result, a boy who suddenly came to Yining City won this house with lightning speed!
It wasn't until today when she looked up Ling Key's information that she found that the house she had been staring at for a long time had become a human home!
This made Angelina feel sorry for a while. But after all, she is also a dignified ace demon hunter, and the ghost sword Ji Angelina can't do anything to drive away Ling Key and take back the house. But at the very least, you have to stay in this room for the night!
This is one of the reasons why Angelina insisted on "staying overnight".
"Not my own house though...... But you can get a good night's sleep tonight! Angelina's face was full of joy. As for the studio, she had already left a note for Snow, thinking that her identity as a ghost sword girl, as long as she didn't go out of the city, she wouldn't let others worry too much, right? And others dare not say that the boss Prometheus is always in control of the city, and he must know that he is here, so Angelina is not too worried about her little willfulness at all.
