Chapter 2: I Want to Soak in Hot Springs
Only when Fu Su left the conference room did I slowly release Mo Ming’s hand. Mo Ming looked at me with concern, and I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t shed any more tears.
Xuanyuan Chen’s gaze fell on my tightly clasped hand with Mo Ming’s. Cold light flashed across his lenses as he looked at me, seeming to contemplate for a moment before saying, “You can go back too.”
“I’m not going back!” I turned my face away.
“The mission is complete. You must return.” Xuanyuan Chen’s voice turned heavy.
I don’t want to go back! Don’t want to go back! Don’t want to go back!
“I don’t want to go back!” I still couldn’t suppress the roar from the bottom of my heart and shouted it out. The cry echoed in the quiet conference room, making everyone even more silent. I regretfully gripped Mo Ming’s wrist tighter, not daring to look at the coldly menacing Xuanyuan Chen as I said quietly, “I want to soak in hot springs. I booked three rooms for everyone – three rooms are very expensive!” I lifted my face to look at Xuanyuan Chen. His eyes behind the lenses had already narrowed coldly.
I looked at his imposing gaze regretfully and frowned: “Sorry… I lost control…” I lowered my gaze, feeling quite wronged inside. I don’t like Fu Su, I hate him, but I was deliberately forcibly kissed by such a bastard, who stole my first kiss.
I know that at twenty years old, caring about my first kiss like a teenage girl is silly, but I really can’t help caring! If I had known, back when I didn’t know Chen Zi Han was such a scumbag, I should have gone and forcibly kissed him to give that unrequited love a perfect ending.
But if I had later found out how much of a scumbag Chen Zi Han was, wouldn’t that have been more disgusting than being forcibly kissed by Fu Su? Like kissing a pile of shit!
Wuu~~~ I’d rather kiss Mao Mao than kiss Fu Su.
“Did Fu Su do something very inappropriate to you?” Unexpectedly, godfather didn’t get angry, but instead softened his voice as if trying to coax the words out of me.
I lowered my face even more, my entire face turning red uncontrollably.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to say it now. Fu Su’s matter isn’t something Mo Ming and Jiang Yan can handle.” Xuanyuan Chen said with unusual superiority. I lifted my face to look at him as he propped one hand on the table, his presence overwhelming everyone else, like a king descending, with the same oppressive aura as his father, the principal uncle. Behind his lenses were his clear eyes. “Only I can handle it. When you’re ready to talk, tell me, and I’ll deal with Fu Su.”
My heart was instantly moved, and tears almost fell: “Godfather…”
Xuanyuan Chen’s brow immediately twitched: “Don’t call me godfather!”
“Oh…” I lowered my face to wipe away the tears that were about to come out. Everyone watched me quietly.
“Mm…” Xuanyuan Chen straightened up and crossed his arms, seeming to ponder with a headache, “If you don’t want to go back now, then rest here for a while. The cleanup will also take a long time. The Useless Team can stay here to soak in hot springs and return to the Immortal Realm together after the cleanup is finished.”
“Yes!” Everyone stood up together. I released Mo Ming’s wrist and also got up. He was still looking at me: “You can continue holding onto me.”
I shook my head: “I’m much better now, thank you.” I lifted my face and smiled at him. In his emerald green eyes, there was no relief, still only deep worry.
We followed Xuanyuan Chen out the door together, but outside the door stood Qi Yuan Wei Lian and Hei Mei.
Seeing me come out, Hei Mei immediately put away her chewing gum and looked at me with concern. She seemed afraid to approach because of Xuanyuan Chen and stood far away against the wall with her zombie.
Meanwhile, Qi Yuan Wei Lian had already come forward, looking at Xuanyuan Chen excitedly, his golden long hair even more charming under the lights.
“President!” Qi Yuan Wei Lian seemed very excited, his somewhat blue-gray eyes full of worship. He looked at Xuanyuan Chen with the excitement of someone confessing, and suddenly, he actually knelt on one knee. Holy crap! That startled me!
I stood behind our godfather, and godfather looked down coldly at Xuanyuan Chen, as if godfather was often worshipped by people.
“I am willing to become the President’s guardian! To protect the President forever!” Qi Yuan said like a confession, his sincere words moving! It was just like a marriage proposal!
I looked at Mo Ming. Mo Ming seemed somewhat puzzled by my stare, so I gave him a look toward Qi Yuan Wei Lian – look at him! How sincere!
Mo Ming blinked and looked elsewhere.
Hey! Pretending not to see!
I stopped looking at him and continued watching Qi Yuan Wei Lian.
Xuanyuan Chen didn’t speak, just looked down at him coldly from above: “The only person in my heart is Mo Ming.”
Mo Ming stiffened beside me. I don’t know why, but I was particularly excited, my little heart starting to pound wildly as if I myself had been confessed to. The corners of my mouth couldn’t help but spread wide. The heartache Fu Su had given me was instantly healed. Indeed, bromance is my medicine – with bromance, I have no worries at all!
Faintly, I felt someone staring at me. I stiffened slightly and looked over – it was Senior Jiang Yan looking at me sideways with an incredibly contemptuous gaze. I blinked, and he shook his head with a mixture of tears and laughter, turning his face away. I lowered my face and continued blushing. Hehe, although Black-Gold has always been the official pairing, I really wouldn’t mind changing it to Black-Silver.
Stiffening at the same time as Mo Ming was Qi Yuan Wei Lian, who remained kneeling on one knee beside Xuanyuan Chen in a daze, his soft golden hair slowly sliding down from the side of his face: “But… Mo Ming… already has a master…”
Qi Yuan Wei Lian’s tone wasn’t as excited as before, but obviously he still wanted to try a bit more.
Mo Ming turned his face to look at Xuanyuan Chen. Xuanyuan Chen’s black, straight long hair was right in front of my eyes, and all sorts of inappropriate images in my mind completely wouldn’t stop. I’m done for, done for, can’t control it!
It’s all Qi Yuan Wei Lian’s fault for confessing at this time, making me too distracted to be angry at Fu Su.
Xuanyuan Chen still looked at Qi Yuan Wei Lian coldly and mercilessly: “So, I want his master.”
“Pfft!” Mo Ming’s master, isn’t that… me?!!
Qi Yuan Wei Lian and Mo Ming both looked at me in surprise. I stood rigidly behind Xuanyuan Chen. Godfather wasn’t wrong – I really am his person. From the moment I started calling him godfather, I, Xia Xiao Lan, had shamelessly and obsequiously decided to cling to his coattails and become Xuanyuan Chen’s person.
Mao Mao looked at me with concern, Qing Ming frowned, and Si Yi Nuo held Xiao Bai with his lowered face growing increasingly gloomy. He should be unhappy since he’s Fu Su’s friend.
Jiang Yan turned to look at me casually: “Xiao Lan, you’re Chen’s person now? When did this happen?”
“Um… um…” I bit my lip and fidgeted with my fingers, secretly glancing at Xuanyuan Chen in front of me. He still held his head high proudly, his aloof expression ruling over everything. No matter what words came from his mouth, they were imperial edicts that no one could disobey.
Seeing that I didn’t answer, Jiang Yan turned to look at Xuanyuan Chen: “Chen, is this really okay? Aren’t you afraid Fu Su will be jealous?”
“Hmph.” Xuanyuan Chen chuckled lightly and turned around, looking directly at Jiang Yan. He adjusted his glasses, cold light flashing on the lenses. “Since you and Mo Ming both refuse to return to my side, then I’ll have Xia Xiao Lan come to my side.” As he spoke, he reached out and directly pressed down on the top of my head. I was like a ball being grasped in his hand. His burning hot palm scorched the top of my head, completely revealing Xuanyuan Chen’s blazing desire.
Uh… the desire to get Jiang Yan and Mo Ming. Even though I can’t read minds, I could completely feel Xuanyuan Chen’s intense desire to have his old subordinates return to his side.
Xuanyuan Chen is definitely the type who will bite down and never let go of something he wants to obtain!
Suddenly, his hand gripping my head tightened. I was startled, and he suddenly looked at me. I looked at him nervously. A cold light swept across his lenses, and his face instantly darkened.
Not good! Could it be that the men he wants are all by my side now and he wants to eliminate me!
I immediately looked at him nervously: “Godfather, I never thought of stealing your people!”
His gloomy gaze then became somewhat depressed. He stopped looking at me and instead looked at Jiang Yan and Mo Ming, who were also staring at him, staring at his hand gripping my head tightly.
But while the three of them were staring at each other, they had forgotten about Qi Yuan Wei Lian, who was still half-kneeling on the ground!
Qi Yuan Wei Lian’s body began to tense up, his fists clenching tightly.
“Let her go!” Jiang Yan narrowed his red eyes. “I said before, Xiao Lan is strictly forbidden to touch!”
Xuanyuan Chen slowly released my head. Mo Ming immediately pulled me back to his side, like a dog protecting its bone under its paws.
Xuanyuan Chen looked at me with deep eyes: “Come see me alone later. Remember, alone!” He emphasized heavily, his gaze sweeping over Mo Ming and Jiang Yan beside me before returning to me, his eyes narrowing with killing intent. “I already know what Fu Su did to you. You probably don’t want others to know either.”
My entire body immediately stiffened, my face burning red. He frowned, showing anger in his eyes as he turned and strode forward with large steps. His back was particularly somber, his black straight long hair constantly trembling with his steps.
Xuanyuan Chen used mind-reading on me!
So does he also know how I brought Fu Su away from the Demon Realm?!
Before, I only knew I could exist in two worlds, but had never tried whether my real body could cross between the two worlds. But today, I succeeded!
I successfully brought both Fu Su and myself back to my own world, proving that my previous crossings didn’t require body separation.
It’s also possible that facing death triggered this ability, and I don’t know if I can do this again later.
Qi Yuan Wei Lian suddenly stood up gloomily in front of us, raising his eyes to look intensely at Mo Ming: “At the Totem Festival, I will prove to the President that I’m stronger than you!”
Mo Ming looked at Qi Yuan Wei Lian expressionlessly, obviously not taking this matter to heart.
“What kind of expression is that!” Qi Yuan Wei Lian angrily grabbed Mo Ming’s collar. I immediately said: “Mo Ming always has that expression! Don’t you know that!”
Qi Yuan Wei Lian glanced at me unwillingly and looked at Mo Ming: “I really don’t understand why our wolf clan’s first warrior would choose a mortal as his master!” Qi Yuan Wei Lian’s expression was like a beloved man being stolen by a pig.
Geez… Am I really that bad? Even if I’m not qualified to own your wolf clan’s first warrior, don’t we need to be well-matched just to be friends?
“In my heart, only Xiao Lan is worthy of being my master.” Mo Ming’s deep words moved me infinitely in my heart. Mo Ming is still the best, forever loyal to me, with only me in his heart…
It’s a pity… he’s a guy from the Immortal Realm, otherwise I probably would have already been so moved that I’d have thrown Chen Zi Han aside by a hundred streets. Sigh…
