Sleep Aid Milk - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

The door opened.

When Ji Zeyan came home, I was in the kitchen, frantically wiping up the medicinal powder I had spilled across the counter.

His footsteps drew closer, and Ji Zeyan’s cold voice sounded behind me.

“What are you doing here?”

With my back to him, I took a deep breath and tugged the corners of my mouth into a smile.

This level of expression control was nothing to me.

“You’re back.”

Even though I had transmigrated into this book a month ago, every time I saw Ji Zeyan’s face, I still couldn’t help but marvel.

Magnificent.

Truly magnificent.

Ji Zeyan stood in the kitchen doorway, tall and straight, an intimidating sharpness radiating from him. His long, slender fingers were unhurriedly undoing the buttons at his cuffs.

He glanced at me indifferently. “What’s behind you?”

I composed myself and put my smile back on.

Picking up the glass of milk on the counter, I trotted over to him with an ingratiating look on my face.

“Honey, I warmed up a glass of milk for you. It’ll help ease your fatigue and help you sleep.”

I looked at him with an innocent expression and offered him the milk in my hand.

Inwardly, I prayed silently:

[The System told me this drug was colorless, odorless, and hard to detect. Ji Zeyan won’t notice, right?]

[I swear on my honor as a weak little woman, I definitely won’t do anything out of line! Just some touching and hugging!]

[Dear heavens, please bless me. This has to work. I really don’t want to become a piece of electrocuted human jerky.]

Ji Zeyan took the cup from me with a detached expression. The look he gave me was unreadable.

My face remained calm and composed, but my heartbeat had already lost its normal rhythm.

[Please, just drink it already. I really, really want your body.]

[Pah! I mean, my illness really, really wants your body.]

This was my first time drugging someone.

If I didn’t do this, I had no way of getting close to Ji Zeyan. My previous image as a vicious woman was far too deeply ingrained.

If my symptoms didn’t get relief, not only would I be itching with unbearable desire, I would also suffer the punishment of electric shocks.

Ji Zeyan withdrew his gaze and drained the glass of milk in one go.

Watching his Adam’s apple bob, I instinctively pressed my lips together.

I had to admit, this man’s looks really did make it easy for people to commit crimes.

But the instant his thin lips touched the rim of the glass, I seemed to catch the faint curve of his mouth.

I must have been seeing things.
