“Young Lady?”
Watching the constantly wriggling blanket, Su Mengdie stood where she was and softly called out a few times.
But the person under the blanket acted as if she hadn’t heard at all, continuing to twist and squirm nonstop.
Is that the Young Lady?
Su Mengdie wasn’t quite sure, so she turned to glance at the room’s door and window.
The door was closed, and the curtains by the window had already been drawn. It didn’t seem like anyone had broken in.
That means she could basically confirm the person in bed was the Young Lady…
But why wasn’t she back in her own room, and what was she doing here?
Su Mengdie tiptoed quietly to the bedside, and suddenly gave a hard slap to the highest spot of the blanket.
So quick!
The blanket immediately let out an enchanting moan.
Startled, Su Mengdie hurriedly lifted the blanket—
Beneath it, Penelope lay on her side, legs crossed, her whole body covered in dripping water, not wearing a single thing.
The underwear and nightgown she was supposed to be wearing were tossed carelessly on the bed.
“Young Lady, what are you doing?”
Seeing her like this, Su Mengdie was a little angry.
Not only did she not dry off, but she actually lay down on the big bed like this.
Even if the Head Maid came today, she’d definitely have something to say about this!
“Su Mengdie~… Come, let’s sleep together tonight.”
Hearing Su Mengdie’s voice, Penelope slowly opened her eyes, patting the space beside her as she did, signaling Su Mengdie to quickly lie down.
But not only did Su Mengdie have no intention of lying down, she yanked Penelope from the other side of the bed over to her, immediately wrapping her in a clean, fluffy towel.
“Don’t move~! Let me dry you off first!”
She really couldn’t stand it anymore!
She’d never seen a Young Lady so lazy.
Normally, even if she was too lazy to wipe herself, she’d at least ask for help.
But today, she couldn’t even be bothered to call for someone.
What was this all about…
“Mmm~ Su Mengdie’s hands feel so nice…”
Penelope, looking muddleheaded, seemed to be referring to either the way Su Mengdie used to scrub her back, or the way she was drying her now.
But whichever it was, it felt so good to her.
She was just like a quiet doll now, letting Su Mengdie do whatever she wanted without offering a hint of resistance.
Thanks to that, Su Mengdie quickly dried Penelope thoroughly from head to toe.
By the time she finished, the whole towel was completely soaked…
‘Isn’t this a bit too much water? Shouldn’t there just be some droplets after a bath?’
Su Mengdie was suspicious, but dressing her was more urgent.
“Young Lady, lift your right leg.”
“Now the left one… Don’t keep them together, I can’t pull it on~! Raise your hips a little!”
After a bit of struggle, Su Mengdie finally got Penelope dressed in white lace panties and a white, strappy gauze nightdress.
Through the thin layer of gauze, two round curves could be faintly seen.
This outfit really is a bit too much…
No, what am I thinking!
That’s her own body, after all!
Su Mengdie shook her head, flinging the improper thoughts out of her mind.
“Fell asleep pretty fast, huh?”
Penelope’s head had barely touched the pillow before her breathing evened out, as if she’d fallen asleep, motionless.
“Guess I’ll go to sleep early too.”
Su Mengdie climbed onto the other side of the big bed, turned off the main light in the room using the remote on the nightstand.
As darkness descended, the fragrant room seemed to drift into sleep as well, once again returning to tranquility.
Staring at the Young Lady lying a little distance away, Su Mengdie moved her lips and softly said,
“Young Lady, good night~”
After wishing her good night, Su Mengdie finally turned over, facing away from the Young Lady, and closed her eyes.
This bed was both unfamiliar and familiar to her, and lying on it brought forth a deep, distant sense of nostalgia.
She remembered when she was young, her Mother and Father both worked for the Jinzhi Family, so she accompanied the Young Lady to study and play, even bathing and sleeping together at night…
She remembered that, back then, the Young Lady had been a very adorable and gentle girl, not at all as unreasonable as she was now.
Where did things go wrong to make the Young Lady become like this?
Su Mengdie couldn’t remember; her mind felt foggy and drowsy, as if she was about to drift off.
“Su Mengdie~…”
Just as she was about to fall asleep, a whisper right by her ear instantly dispelled all her drowsiness.
“Young Lady?!”
Su Mengdie woke with a start, trying to turn over.
But a pair of slender, soft hands encircled her waist, and a right leg pressed down over her thigh, pinning her completely in place.
This position…
Could the Young Lady have gotten confused in her sleep and mistaken her for a doll pillow?
But then Penelope suddenly pinched the soft flesh on her waist, asking in a puzzled voice,
“Su Mengdie, why are you in my bed?”
“Young Lady, you’re the one who’s confused. This is my bed now! Our bodies have switched, remember?”
Su Mengdie whispered the reminder, grabbing the restless hands around her waist, trying to pry them off.
Those hands had been tickling her nonstop ever since just now.
If she wasn’t afraid of waking the Head Maid next door, she would have burst out laughing by now!
“Oh, right, right… I took a bath, then flopped on the bed, then Su Mengdie dried me off and dressed me… I remember now.”
Bit by bit, the broken memories pieced themselves together in Penelope’s mind, helping her gradually make sense of what happened.
But soon, she realized something else didn’t quite add up.
“Su Mengdie, never mind that we’re sleeping in the same bed, but why are you in my arms… Is it because you lack a sense of security, or are you just used to my petite body and want to be cuddled?”
“What nonsense! You’re the one who pulled me into your arms, don’t blame me!”
Lack of security?
Wanting to be hugged?
Impossible!
She was a mature adult now; things like that didn’t interest her…
Well, not that she was totally uninterested.
At least, lying in Penelope’s arms right now, she did feel… rather comfortable…
Ugh!
‘What’s wrong with me? Why am I having such weird thoughts?!’
Even if it was just in her heart, Su Mengdie still felt incredibly embarrassed, wishing she could bury her face in the pillow—if only she could move.
“Really? Well, since we’re already hugging, how about you let me hold you like this tonight, Su Mengdie?”
Penelope stopped tickling her, instead hugging Su Mengdie even tighter.
The fragrance of a young girl and the fresh scent of shampoo blended together perfectly, wafting over, making Penelope want to take a deep sniff.
“Is that a request?”
If it was, then she’d have to accept.
If not, then at least she could refuse!
The two soft mounds pressing against her back gave Su Mengdie a ton of pressure; she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to sleep at all tonight.
But just as people always attract what they fear most, so it was now—
After nuzzling Su Mengdie’s fragrant neck, Penelope suddenly bit down gently on her delicate earlobe and whispered softly,
“It’s a request~, and Xiao Die, you’re not allowed to resist at all tonight~!”
Mmm~!?
