Xia Yue had made Bai Xiaocha angry, causing the girl to be completely unaware of her own strength, and she nearly squeezed Xia Xi to death.
At least now, Xia Xi felt a dull ache in his chest.
Good thing this figurine wasn’t very endowed. If it had been more prominent, and Bai Xiaocha had squeezed like that with all the pressure on those, it probably would have been agonizing.
Who knows what the system was thinking, why did it have to anthropomorphize him, a figurine, and make the human tactile sensations so realistic?
Isn’t this basically like being a tiny person from Lilliput?
And from his current perspective looking up at Bai Xiaocha, her giant face was like looking at an elephant.
“Why aren’t you moving?”
This question was probably directed at Xia Xi.
But Xia Xi didn’t plan to answer her. He decided to stay perfectly still and pretend to be a real figurine. As long as he wasn’t recognized, he just had to stick with Bai Xiaocha until she went to sleep.
The system hadn’t stipulated he had to do anything specific.
If he hadn’t been snacking earlier, still holding a cookie in his mouth while sleeping, and gotten caught red-handed by Bai Xiaocha, he wouldn’t have spoken up out of sheer embarrassment in the first place.
“Squeeze~”
Seeing that Xia Xi wasn’t moving and his expression was a bit blank, Bai Xiaocha gently squeezed his body again.
Xia Xi just felt something pinch his calf, and his muscles tensed up once more.
“Don’t pretend, okay? I already saw everything you did earlier. It’s just a little snack, I’m not mad at you~”
As if sensing the little person in her palm was a bit nervous, Bai Xiaocha generously stated she wouldn’t hold his snack theft against him.
But Xia Xi still didn’t plan to move.
Yeah right. Mere snacks? This Princess… ugh, this real man here could buy a whole house full of them if he wanted!
Though, Bai Xiaocha’s taste was pretty good. That cucumber-flavored potato chip was indeed delicious!
Xia Xi originally thought that if he just stayed still, Bai Xiaocha would get bored and toss him back into the drawer. But he didn’t expect this silly loli to actually…
“Stop! Don’t touch there!”
A certain self-proclaimed ‘real man’ felt a blush creep onto his face.
“Hehe, I was starting to think you talking earlier was really just a hallucination~”
Bai Xiaocha giggled sillyly.
“Hey, you wouldn’t be the Ghost Guy, would you? If you think about the timing, from when the Ghost Guy left my body in the cafeteria until now, it’s about right for finishing all those snacks.”
Hearing Bai Xiaocha’s words, Xia Xi shuddered.
When did this girl get so smart?
No way, I need to explain using a different tone than before… but what should I say so she won’t connect me to the ‘Ghost Guy’ identity…
“Ahem! I don’t know who this ‘Ghost Guy’ you’re talking about is, but what’s the big deal if this Princess eats a few of your snacks? Hmph, you silly little loli.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xia Xi felt his body shake violently, and then he felt his two long ponytails being grabbed from behind.
He was suspended in mid-air, held up by Bai Xiaocha gripping his twin-tails.
“Who are YOU calling a silly loli?!”
Bai Xiaocha could now be sure that this self-proclaimed princess idiot figurine definitely wasn’t her Ghost Guy. Her Ghost Guy always kindly called her Xiaocha, he wouldn’t tease her like this and call her a silly loli!
“Ow ow ow, I’m the silly loli, I’m the silly loli! Let me go!”
Hanging in the air by his hair like this, Xia Xi’s scalp felt like it was going to tear off along with his hair. It hurt so much.
He finally understood why so many girls grab each other’s hair when they fight. It really hurts!
“Oh! Sorry…”
Seeing that the little person seemed to be in genuine pain, Bai Xiaocha apologized and put him down on the desk.
She had just gotten angry in the moment and forgot that being held like that would be uncomfortable. She definitely hadn’t meant to punish the guy who called her a silly loli.
“Xiao Cha, let me play with it for a bit~”
Xia Yue sidled up.
“Dame (No way)! If you want one, go buy another yourself!”
Bai Xiaocha snorted and pushed Xia Yue away with her shoulder.
“Fine! You cold-hearted thing! That Hatsune Miku figurine was a gift from ME!”
Xia Yue turned her head away, pretending to sulk.
“Not listening! Since you gave it to me, it’s my thing now. Not letting you play~”
Bai Xiaocha just made a face, completely unconcerned whether Xia Yue was genuinely angry or not. Actually, she knew Xia Yue was faking it, so she didn’t care.
“Stingy! You’ll drink nothing but cold water! Hmph, it’s just a moving figurine. I’ll have my brother buy me one later!”
Hearing this from Xia Yue, Xia Xi wanted to jump over and give her a knock on the head.
Your own brother is trapped inside this little figurine’s body, and you’re thinking of having your brother buy you one? What, you want your brother to become a figurine for YOU to play with however you want?
Bai Xiaocha ignored Xia Yue and instead, full of curiosity, reached out and poked Xia Xi’s head.
Her poke made Xia Xi stumble, unable to keep his balance.
No helping it, the size difference was just too great. Even though Bai Xiaocha tried to be very gentle, to Xia Xi it still felt like an enormous force.
“What should I call you, hmm? Little Figurine? Little Figgy? Little Handsy?”
Watching Xia Xi wobble and stumble from her prodding, Bai Xiaocha found it incredibly fun. Usually, she was the one getting picked on; when did she ever get a chance to pick on someone else?
“What kind of weird names are those? ‘Princess’ is still better.”
Xia Xi casually complained, which made Bai Xiaocha’s eyes light up.
“Right! You are a Hatsune Miku figurine. Calling you Princess actually makes perfect sense.”
Now it was Xia Xi’s turn to freeze up.
“No, don’t! I just said that casually. How about just calling me Hatsune? Calling me Princess or something sounds super awkward.”
Xia Xi really didn’t want to be called Princess, or have people constantly addressing him with feminine titles like that.
He’d already experienced being called ‘Miss’ all day long back in the game space.
Just ‘Miss’ was embarrassing enough, let alone ‘Princess’!
“Dame (No way). You’re my figurine. You don’t have the right to refuse~”
Bai Xiaocha pinched his arm and lifted his hand up. With a little force, his whole feet left the desk surface.
“You feel all soft and squishy~ Totally different from how the figurine felt before~”
Bai Xiaocha was like a curious baby, touching and pinching Xia Xi everywhere.
“Don’t pinch my hand!”
“Wait, my waist is ticklish there, stop poking!”
“Don’t tickle the soles of my feet! It really tickles!”
Faced with an absolute difference in strength, Xia Xi had no power to resist. He was like a ragdoll, completely at Bai Xiaocha’s mercy for her to play with.
The most excessive part was when she brought her nose close to his cheek and took a deep sniff.
Muttering something about him smelling nice, “Just like a real Princess!”
