The days when I wanted to be a human being

Chapter 186 Decisiveness will lead to failure, hesitation will lead to defeat

After returning to Jiang Xiaoting's home, she took a pile of clothes and went into the guest room arranged for her.

After throwing all the clothes on the bed, I turned on the air conditioner.

Although her current physical condition would not allow her to sweat even a drop in the summer, she still felt that turning on the air conditioner would be more comfortable.

After feeling the cool air, I walked into the bathroom.

After ten years in the world of One Piece, I have become accustomed to this body.

So there is nothing special to pay attention to.

In order to test the water spirit root she had obtained, she simply condensed the water into a large ball and wrapped it around her entire body.

She found that she could breathe directly in the water without worrying about drowning.

On the other side, Zhou Ling used water to condense another self. Although it looked transparent, the image was very specific.

"Click."

At this time, the door of the room was opened from the outside.

Zhou Ling was shocked and quickly absorbed the water, then summoned some underwear and put it on.

Zhou Ling breathed a sigh of relief only after using his mental power to sense who the person was.

"Lao Jiang, why are you not sleeping so late at night? What are you doing?"

That’s right, the person who came was Jiang Xiaoting.

Jiang Xiaoting said, "Mr. Zhou, you really make me so sad. You just threw the clothes I just bought aside."

"Can you blame me? I told you not to buy a skirt, but you insisted." Zhou Ling hasn't worn a skirt for many years since she turned into Tom Cat and then into a queen.

Most of the clothes Jiang Xiaoting bought tonight were skirts, which made her very helpless. The only set of sportswear was bought only after her insistence.

After all, she is not a person who likes to dress up, so there is no point in buying so many clothes. She will probably just keep them in her space in the future.

After Zhou Ling simply washed herself, she walked out.

She found that Jiang Xiaoting was dressed very coolly, wearing only a black long skirt. The skirt was not long, just reaching the knees.

Zhou Ling's mental power somehow swept over Jiang Xiaoting, and she found that Jiang Xiaoting was not wearing anything inside.

Zhou Ling, who sensed all this, coughed twice awkwardly and quickly withdrew her mental strength. She could feel her slightly hot cheeks.

She knew that Jiang Xiaoting could use her mental power, and Zhou Ling felt that she should say something, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

So she said, "If you are okay, go back quickly."

Jiang Xiaoting, who was very familiar with mental power, naturally noticed Zhou Ling's little action. She smiled and walked to the table on the side with the folded clothes.

As she walked, a pair of slender, white calves came into Zhou Ling's sight.

As she walked, she smiled and said, "What? Now that I'm useless, you're going to kick me out?"

After she put the clothes neatly on the table, she stood beside the table and looked at Zhou Ling.

She crossed her arms over her chest and teased Zhou Ling, who was ordinary, "Old Zhou, what are you wearing? You're already flat, what are you afraid of?"

Jiang Xiaoting chuckled twice after she finished speaking, "How is it? Are you envious of my figure?"

The naturally falling nightgown fully displayed Jiang Xiaoting's graceful figure to Zhou Ling.

After hearing Jiang Xiaoting's words, Zhou Ling couldn't help but look up and down twice, and suddenly a pair of eyes full of smiles entered her eyes.

Only then did Zhou Ling realize what he was doing. He coughed twice and forced himself to look away.

She admitted that even though she had become a woman, her inner pursuit of beauty remained the same as before.

While Zhou Ling was feeling deeply moved, Jiang Xiaoting said slowly, "But? I remember you had a pretty good figure before. How come you've shrunk after growing up?"

"Is it because of this dress?"

Jiang Xiaoting said this and took a big step towards Zhou Ling.

The hands, which looked even whiter against the black nightgown, reached out to Zhou Ling's chest.

Zhou Ling quickly grabbed the attacking hand, felt the delicate wrist in his hand, frowned, lowered his head and stared at Jiang Xiaoting.

"Old Jiang, seriously, if you have nothing else to do, you should go back and rest early."

How could she not understand what Jiang Xiaoting was doing.

Zhou Ling said coldly, "I think I have made my meaning very clear."

As he spoke, he unconsciously put a little more strength in his hands.

This caused Jiang Xiaoting's usually calm expression to ripple a little.

Zhou Ling noticed this and realized what had happened, and quickly let go of the delicate wrist in his hand.

"I'm sorry, I..."

Jiang Xiaoting rubbed her red wrist, then held Zhou Ling's face with both hands and looked straight at her.

"A Ling, I thought you would understand..."

"Do you think I don't understand you?"

"Do you think you can get rid of me by saying something inappropriate?"

"Do you think I'm such a casual person?"

Jiang Xiaoting's eyes became redder with every word she spoke.

After asking three questions, her eyes were filled with tears.

The emotions were so strong that even Zhou Ling, who didn't use emotional perception, could easily feel it.

Looking at Jiang Xiaoting with tears on her face, Zhou Ling's heart unconsciously tightened.

The palms of my hands were already covered with sweat due to nervousness.

Only now did she realize how sad Jiang Xiaoting was because of her previous hasty decision.

She then realized that she was a little too childish.

She also realized that she had taken it for granted.

Zhou Ling reached out and wiped away the tears that were sliding down Jiang Xiaoting's face, and comforted her: "Don't cry, this must be very uncomfortable."

"I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings..."

She wanted to say a few more words, but she was shocked by Jiang Xiaoting's next action.

Jiang Xiaoting put her arms around Zhou Ling's neck and leaned on her. She burst into laughter and said, "Old Zhou, do you know how much of a jerk you sound when you say that?"

"belch!"

After Jiang Xiaoting finished speaking, she suddenly hiccupped, apparently because of the crying just now.

"Hahaha!"

This made Zhou Ling laugh.

"…Well!"

Zhou Ling stared with wide eyes at the beautiful face so close to her.

She instinctively reached out to push the person in her arms away.

Jiang Xiaoting's mental power fluctuations suddenly came into my mind.

'Don't... don't push me away again.'

Zhou Ling changed the push into a hug and hugged the person tightly.

At this moment, she suddenly regretted not turning down the air conditioner a little.
