Binding System

Maniacal Shrub Inn, Evelyn's Room.

Evelyn was currently sitting on the edge of her bed. She went straight to her room after spending time with Xiao Ming in the garden for several minutes.

At first, she wanted to sleep, but Xiao Ming's face kept appearing in her head every time she closed her eyes, causing her to be unable to sleep.

'Why do I keep thinking about him? Is it because I will leave this city tomorrow? Or is it because I feel comfortable beside him?'

The desire to spend time with him grew bigger with each passing second.

'I will go to his room now.'

With that idea in mind, she headed to his room.

However, she suddenly wanted to change her mind after reaching his room.

'But it's already 10:00 pm now. Is it okay to visit him at this hour?'

She was currently standing in front of his room.

She stopped herself when she was about to knock on the door because she wavered whether she would disturb his time or not.

'What should I do?'

She would leave Nightshire city tomorrow, and she did not know when she would meet him again, so she wanted to spend more time with him.

However, she was afraid she would disturb his time because it was time to rest.

'I should return to my room. It's time to rest now, not to chat.'

She headed to her room, but she immediately stopped her footsteps when she remembered that she would be leaving Nightshire city tomorrow.

For this reason, she turned around and headed to Xiao Ming's room again. But like before, she did not have the courage to knock on the door.

'Evelyn, what are you doing? If you desire to spend time with him, you should knock on the door, or else just return to your room.'

She could not make up her mind.

She desired to spend time with him, but on the other hand, she was afraid that she would disturb his time later.

'What should I do?'

Without realizing it, it had been ten minutes since she stood in front of his door.

And as if the Goddess of Luck was on her side, Xiao Ming suddenly opened the door.

"Eh, Big sister? What are you doing in front of my room? Do you have something important to tell me?" Xiao Ming was startled when he saw Evelyn after opening the door.

"I…" she could not answer his question immediately. "I only want to know if you have any question regarding magic or not."

'Why did I say something like that? Why can't I think of better excuse?'

She added in her mind.

"Magic?" it took him three seconds to understand everything. "Ah. Yes. I have a few questions regarding magic."

Of course, he knew it was only her excuse because he could tell everything from her expression.

He believed she wanted to spend time with him again!

This was the reason why he said he had some questions about magic because he had to give her a face.

He was sure she would be embarrassed and return to her room if he said what she had in mind.

"Come in." he spoke as he smiled.

Evelyn immediately entered his room and sat on the edge of the bed.

'Why do I suddenly feel nervous? Isn't this what I want?'

She didn't feel nervous when she stayed in the cave with him, so she didn't understand the sudden change in feelings.

"Big sis, wait here. I will be right back." Xiao Ming uttered.

"Un." Evelyn nodded her head.

After taking care of his business, Xiao Ming returned to his room.

"Sorry for the wait." He closed the door after stepping into his room.

Both of them were currently sitting on the bed. He asked a lot of things because he didn't want to make the situation awkward for her.

Of course, he didn't just ask about magic because it would be boring. He only threw ten questions about magic before finally changing the topic of conversation.

Evelyn felt comfortable and happy during their conversation because he knew how to liven things up. She even often smiled and giggled.

"Hehe." Both Evelyn and Xiao Ming chuckled happily.

Even though they only spent time in his room, but it was enjoyable for them.

"Big sister, how about we go to Arnlisle Lake tomorrow? I heard the scenery at Arnlisle Lake is beautiful." there was a reason why he invited her to go to Arnlisle Lake.

He wanted to go on a date with her again!

"Alright." She did not say that she would leave Nightshire city tomorrow because it would ruin the atmosphere.

They chatted for about three hours before finally, they fell asleep.

Yes, Evelyn did not return to her room.

She fell asleep in his bed.

She was currently sleeping on his left side.

Even though she was sleeping in the same bed as him, she did not feel nervous like before; instead, she felt comfortable as if they were a husband and a wife.

At this moment, Xiao Ming suddenly woke up. A soft smile spread across his face when he saw Evelyn sleeping on his left side.

'She is sleeping soundly.'

He did not go back to sleep; instead, he kept looking at her sleeping face.

*Three minutes…five minutes…seven minutes…

Without realizing it, he had been looking at her sleeping face for seven minutes.

'She is indeed an angel, kind and pretty.'

He subconsciously caressed her cheeks softly.

Even though he only stroked her cheeks gently, Evelyn was still able to feel it. "Ace, why didn't you sleep?"

"I just woke up. Come here, big sister. Let me embrace you before going back to sleep." He wanted to sleep while hugging her.

His words had taken her by surprise.

'He wants to sleep while hugging me?!'

She remained in her position and only stared at him.

To her surprise, Xiao Ming suddenly grabbed her and put her on top of him.

"Let me sleep while hugging you." After saying that, he wrapped his arms around her back.

Like before, she did not say anything and only looked at his face.

'Well, he only wants to embrace me.'

She placed her head on his chest before finally closing her eyes again.

His face broke into a soft smile as he looked at her face.

'Good night, big sister.'

​ He caressed her hair gently.

Evelyn felt comfortable when he stroked her hair gently.

'This feeling…it feels good.'

She suddenly didn't want to part from him, but she couldn't refuse his master's orders.

'Ace…'

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became.

'Master, let me enjoy this moment first.'

Not long after that, the duo fell asleep.
