Chapter 20 The Strangeness After Waking Up
The next morning arrived.
Lin Yuyan slowly opened her eyes.
At that moment, she felt light and airy all over, with a refreshing and invigorating sensation.
"Huh? I actually fell asleep last night?"
Lin Yuyan sat up somewhat blankly, trying to recall what had happened the night before.
Her memory seemed to become very blurry at this point. She vaguely remembered... last night, when she was holding Su Chenjin and acting crazy, Chenjin wasn't angry. Instead, she gently comforted her.
Yes, it seems that Chen Jin offered to give him a massage because she saw that he was too tired from playing games.
And then? What happened next?
After lying down on the bed, Chen Jin's soft little hands gently massaged her back and shoulders. The massage felt incredibly comfortable, and then... she seemed to have inexplicably fallen asleep?
However, the feeling of this memory was very strange.
Lin Yuyan felt that this was not a scene she had personally experienced. Ordinary memories should be continuous, but this experience about "massage" felt like it had been imposed on her, lacking the sense of reality she had at the time.
It's like... someone subconsciously told her, "You had a massage last night and then fell asleep," so she naturally came to believe it.
"Is it just my imagination...?"
Lin Yuyan lowered her head and clenched her fist.
Although this memory is strange, I feel incredibly relaxed all over now, as if all the pressure I've been suppressing for a long time was released in my sleep last night.
"Looks like I was just overthinking it. Su Chenjin did give me a massage last night, but it was so comfortable that I fell asleep."
After confirming this, Lin Yuyan picked up her phone from the bedside table and glanced at the time.
7: 02.
"Huh, it's only seven o'clock?"
I never expected to wake up this early, and I have absolutely no desire to stay in bed. Looks like I went to bed early last night, so I'm waking up early today too?
Just as Lin Yuyan was staring blankly at the time on her phone screen, a knock came at the door.
"Miss Lin, are you awake? It's time to wash up and have breakfast."
It was Su Chenjin's voice.
Her clear, polite voice sounded especially pleasant in the early morning.
"Here it comes!"
Lin Yuyan threw off the covers and got out of bed without even changing out of her pajamas.
Wait, pajamas?
Lin Yuyan looked down at her pajamas and a question suddenly arose in her mind.
Did I... change my pajamas?
Yesterday evening after I got home, I was clearly wearing my usual clothes and playing games on the computer.
Then came dinner... After that, my memories are only of that vague "massage" and "blackout".
I have absolutely no memory of changing my own clothes.
Could it be... that Chen Jin helped me change into it after I fell asleep last night?
"Never mind, let's not think about it anymore. Let's eat breakfast first."
Having such a thoughtful and obedient maid to take care of me is simply heavenly!
After washing up in the bathroom, Lin Yuyan couldn't wait to get to the dining table in the living room.
The table was already set with congee with preserved egg and lean pork, poached eggs, and some side dishes. Su Chenjin stood respectfully beside the table, waiting for Lin Yuyan to take his seat.
"Good morning, Chenjin. Thank you for making breakfast."
After Lin Yuyan sat down, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
She looked up and stared at Su Chenjin for a long time before finally discovering the reason.
Su Chenjin is now wearing a regular everyday dress, not the light blue Lolita dress she wore yesterday evening.
Those are the clothes worn by the main character in my own novel!
Although the casual clothes still accentuated the blue-haired girl's cool and delicate temperament, they still created a significant sense of disappointment for Lin Yuyan, who had just awakened a certain XP.
"Chen Jin... why aren't you wearing that blue Lolita dress from yesterday?"
Seeing Lin Yuyan's expression, which resembled that of a child whose candy had been snatched away, Su Chenjin sneered inwardly.
Good stuff, of course we have to keep you in suspense.
If you wear it every day, you'll get tired of it after a while, right? Of course, I'll change into that outfit again at the crucial moment, and with the help of hypnosis and brainwashing, I'll really increase your affection for me!
However, on the surface, Su Chenjin maintained her obedient and calm demeanor: "Miss Lin, Lolita dresses are really too troublesome to wear. Moreover, the skirt is too big, and it's very inconvenient to move around in that dress when cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. After all, I'm here to take care of you, so convenience for doing chores should be the priority."
"Is that so...?"
Even knowing that what Su Chenjin said was true, she still couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment.
"Well... okay then."
She picked up the spoon somewhat sullenly and began to drink the porridge.
After sitting down, Lin Yuyan felt a little lost. "To be honest... I haven't eaten breakfast in a long time. Before, I would wake up around noon."
"That won't do, Miss Lin. Skipping breakfast is bad for your health."
"...I'll try my best. The main problem is that I can't get up in the morning."
Su Chenjin sneered inwardly.
The congee with preserved egg and lean pork seemed to have lost some of its flavor. As Lin Yuyan ate, she kept stealing glances at Su Chenjin, her mind still lingering on the light and magical feeling from last night.
After taking a few bites, Lin Yuyan couldn't resist looking up at the blue-haired girl standing quietly to the side.
"Um... Chen Jin, about that massage last night..."
"Hmm?" Su Chenjin tilted her head slightly. "What's wrong, Miss Lin? Did I massage you somewhere last night and make you feel uncomfortable?"
"Uh...no, no, no!" Lin Yuyan quickly waved her hands, her cheeks slightly flushed. "It's just...that...it felt very comfortable. Next time...if it's possible next time, I'd like to trouble you again..."
Seeing the head eunuch's smug expression, Cheng Qi chuckled inwardly.
That's for sure... Last night I gave you a thorough "massage" inside and out, so you could have a good night's rest.
Of course, before ending the hypnosis, Cheng Qi still gave a suggestion to modify the memory, changing the memory of last night's special massage to a regular massage.
But deep down, the chief eunuch could never forget that pleasurable feeling.
Su Chenjin remained calm: "Okay. Miss Lin, please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything else."
"Okay, then... then I'll have to trouble Chen Jin then."
Hearing Su Chenjin's promise, Lin Yuyan was overjoyed, and her earlier frustration at not seeing the Lolita outfit vanished instantly.
The two chatted back and forth at the dining table. Just then, a sound came from the entryway, and the front door was pushed open—
