After hugging me for a bit, Ling Yue suddenly realized her mistake and let me go.
She quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was too excited that I couldn't control myself. I didn't mean anything by it…"
As her voice trailed off, there was a blush and an awkward look that appeared on her face.
At the same time, there was an awkward silence that filled the air.
But I broke that awkward silence by saying in a soft voice, "It's alright."
Then after a pause, I said, "I've also wanted a big sister, but I've never had one…"
My voice slowly trailed off, but it was clear by the tone of my voice what I meant.
When she heard this, Ling Yue looked at me with a surprised look. Seeing the look that was on my face, her eyes lit up and she said, "Really?"
I didn't answer right away, but after another pause, I said, "My family passed away when I was young…so I've always been alone. So that's why I've always wanted a big brother or a big sister…"
Before I could say anything else, she suddenly came forward and took me in her arms again as she said, "That's great! I've always wanted a little brother too, but it never happened."
She just held me in her arms like this and I couldn't help feeling awkward…
After all, there was a very soft feeling coming from in front of me…
When she finally let go, Ling Yue said, "From now on, you can take me as your big sister. If there's anything you need help with, you can always call your big sister. Even if I don't look like it, I am quite the reliable person."
I didn't react at first, but staring at her smiling at me like this, I eventually gave a slight nod.
All that did was net me another soft hug.
Since she had finished with her business here, there was no reason for Ling Yue to stay here any longer.
Not to mention, she had come early in the morning so that she could come here before work. But with the time that she had already spent here, it was time for her to get back or she would be late for work.
As she left, she waved her hand at me and said, "Big sister is heading off to work now. If there's anything that you need, don't hesitate to call me. I'll come visit you another day."
I just waved my hand at her with a smile as she walked off.
Only when she entered the elevator did I go back into my apartment.
As I stood there in front of the door, I didn't do a single thing for a few seconds before suddenly letting out a long sigh.
After all, this was definitely not the way that I had thought this would go.
I had thought of many different ways that this situation could develop, but this definitely wasn't one of the ways that I thought this would go…
But the fact that she wanted to be my big sister this badly…no matter how I looked at it, it should be because of the Hypnosis skill…
It seemed that even with unconscious actions, I was able to activate the Hypnosis skill against people who interacted with me. With the way that I acted, it gave her this sense of wanting to protect me. However, that was even more amplified because of the Hypnosis skill.
It seemed that there was still more experimentation that I needed to do with the Hypnosis skill.
While I was lost in thought, Sasha came out of the closet and walked up to me. However, I didn't notice her even when she was standing there in front of me since I was so deeply lost in thought.
She then asked, "Who was that?"
When I heard her voice, I was pulled out of my thoughts and remembered where I was.
I looked at her and said, "It was no one special."
Sasha puffed out her cheeks when she heard this, but I completely ignored it as I said, "Give me your phone."
Sasha was caught off guard by this, but she still took out her phone.
I then added my contact information in her phone while adding her contact information in mine.
Since I would be using her in the future, we needed a way to contact each other and the best way was to have each other's contact information.
Once I was finished, I casually handed the phone back to her.
When Sasha took the phone, she quickly opened up her contacts and her eyes lit up when she saw my information. She didn't waste any time in changing the name for that contact and when I saw that she had changed it to 'master', I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.
But I also gave a cough to calm myself down before saying, "Alright, from now on, you shouldn't contact me unnecessarily. Also, I'll need you to…"
…
After I had finished giving Sasha her orders, she left my apartment.
As she left, she puffed her cheeks again and teased, "But we didn't get to have any fun."
Without any hesitation, I slammed the door in her face without even sending her off.
This girl…she really didn't think about the neighbours at all.
Sasha didn't mind it and just happily walked off while humming a tune. I could hear it from my apartment as she walked off to the elevator.
Once she was gone, I gave another sigh before saying, "What should I do now?"
I couldn't go into another dungeon because of what happened yesterday.
If I did go into another dungeon and attracted another problem like this, wouldn't that be casting even more suspicion on me?
But I just couldn't do nothing since I still needed money
At the same time, I wanted to see if I could find a way to get closer to stronger Awakeners.
If I were able to control them like I did Sasha…would I have anything to fear in the future?
I took out my phone and looked at the job ads as I said, "What should I do now?"
