Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Can't hide from the bad woman
"Hey, strange, what's wrong with me?" After entering the threshold of "my own home," Lin Anyi felt dizzy.
"This feeling of turbid thinking is like being in a dream." He rubbed his temples, trying to dispel this blurred feeling. At this moment, he should have entertained the guest, Alecino, but what puzzled him even more was that Lin Anyi found that he was not familiar with the layout of "home."
The layout of the entire living room was familiar yet unfamiliar. Every furnishing made him feel confused, as if he had walked into this room for the first time.
"Is this really my home?" he asked himself in a low voice, with uncertainty in his voice.
Alecino stood aside, observing Lin Anyi's reaction, with a smug smile on her face. She took out the wine glass and placed it on the table, then elegantly poured a glass of wine for Lin Anyi, softly inviting:
"Come and have a drink, your favorite Liyue Drunken Immortal Brew."
Lin Anyi was stunned.
"Well, I don't have the habit of drinking? Why do you say I like it?"
Under the hypnotic suggestion, although Lin Anyi still had doubts in his heart, he couldn't think of refusing. He walked to the table and sat opposite Alecino. Although he was full of confusion and uneasiness, his polite instinct still made him nod to express his gratitude:
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Alecino elegantly picked up the wine glass and took a sip, a deep light flashing in her eyes.
She put down the cup and spoke in a calm and direct tone:
"I have roughly understood the situation. In other words, Miss Clorinde is not as honest and harmless as she seems, right?"
She paused and continued to ask:
"Nominally, she is staying in your house for protection, but in fact, she is using Funina to threaten you to submit to her and offer yourself to her?"
Lin Anyi subconsciously wanted to refute the unpleasant descriptions in Alechino's mouth. But on second thought, he felt that although her statement was harsh, it was also close to the facts. He was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
Alecino looked at his reaction, a sharp light flashing in her eyes, and she suddenly asked a more direct question:
"Then did you... succumb to her last night?"
This question was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Anyi's heart violently, making him feel flustered involuntarily. He hurriedly argued:
"No, no, she said she would give me some time to think about it."
Alecino ignored Lin Anyi's answer. Her voice carried a playful tone:
"So how far did you go last night? Holding hands? Hugging? I think it's probably more than that; that guy shouldn't be so pure."
Alecino's words made Lin Anyi feel an unspeakable pressure. He sighed in his heart; the other party's insight was so strong it made him feel as though he had nowhere to hide. Faced with Alecino's direct and sharp questioning, Lin Anyi's heart was almost in chaos.
He realized that this conversation with Alechino was much more difficult than he expected. Lin Anyi felt the cold sweat on his back almost soaking his clothes. He tried desperately to find a reasonable excuse to struggle, but Alechino's insight had seen through every thought of his.
"Don't think about lying to me." Alechino's voice was cold and firm. She raised her glass again and took a sip. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a sharp light. She slowly leaned forward, gently hooked Lin Anyi's chin with her fingers, and forced him to look directly into her eyes.
"As the saying goes, choose the lesser of two things. Facing Clorinde's threat, you would rather let me grab your butt. It can be seen that the extent of her violation of you is not simple."
Her voice was low, and every word seemed to hit Lin Anyi's heart hard.
Lin Anyi fell into a deep silence. The reputation of the Fatui executive in front of him was indeed well-deserved. She could not only capture tiny flaws from his words but also use her wisdom and means to piece these fragments together into a complete picture.
Facing Alechino's questioning and insight, Lin Anyi felt that he had nowhere to hide. An unprecedented sense of powerlessness surged in his heart, and he thought helplessly:
"Alechino just said that we should choose the lesser of two options. In this situation, perhaps we can only use small mistakes to cover up big mistakes..."
At this moment, Lin Anyi felt that he was facing not only Alechino's coercion but also a deep reflection on his own behavior. He felt that he had to confess some secrets. Even if this would make him feel ashamed, he had no choice in this situation.
Lin Anyi's shoulders trembled slightly. His eyes avoided Alechino's direct gaze, and there was a hint of helplessness in his voice:
"She... she pressed me against the wall... and kissed me forcefully."
His voice was low, with an unspeakable sadness.
"Clorinde is Funina's best friend. I can say that I trust her very much, but she did this to me."
Lin Anyi's words were full of disappointment and helplessness. He raised his head and squeezed out a bitter smile on his face:
"It's ironic, right?"
Alechino nodded silently, showing sympathy on the surface. But her heart was full of anger and jealousy. The person she loved was insulted like this, which made her unable to calm down.
Facing Lin Anyi, she tried to control her emotions, took a deep breath, and reminded herself in her heart:
"Calm down, all this is to be able to completely possess Lin Anyi. Just think of it as a small sacrifice."
In that "memory," didn't she also pay such a price to get Clorinde on the pirate ship?
Alechino's emotions gradually calmed down, but suddenly, a possibility emerged in her mind:
"What if Clorinde not only kissed Lin Anyi forcibly but also did something more excessive to him?"
Her eyes examined Lin Anyi, and her mind kept calculating the possible situations. She suddenly spoke with a quizzical smile:
"Lin Anyi."
Lin Anyi's heart tightened, and he was shocked by Alechino's insight again. His eyes flickered.
"Why... what's wrong?"
Alechino's mouth curled up in a meaningful smile. She slowly approached Lin Anyi, and her voice was low and charming:
"I think you should have concealed a lot of things. Right?"
There was an irresistible force in her voice that made people unconsciously want to confess. But Lin Anyi knew very well that he must not retreat any further.
If he really told the complete story of what happened last night, it was uncertain whether he would even see Funina again tonight.
Alechino stared at the boy who remained silent, and the luster that was still in her eyes finally gradually faded.
