C86 Part1

Translated by An Edited by An

Xu looked blankly at Xiang BuChen as he walked off without a second look at him. His hands, hanging by his side, clenched into fists till his knuckles turned white.

He didn’t know how long he could endure this. Every time he assumed that he had reached a critical point, he ended up restraining himself nonetheless.

Each time, he warned himself to stop: ‘At present, you still have no position to interfere in her life…’

He was fed up with the days when he had no choice but to be a mere spectator in her life. He must carry out his plans in advance; he would go crazy if he waited anymore.

‘……Must write a letter to Female Marshal Bei Qing tonight.’

Outside the room, Xu was burning with jealousy while inside the room, Yang QiQi was gripping the bedsheet tightly, lost in her thoughts.

In addition to the moment when they first met, Xiang BuChen left a very poor impression on her. However, during their interactions till now, he had always behaved very courteously. She presumed that he had a villainous face but was a diligent and introverted good boy. But after what happened just now, she realized that she was gravely mistaken. Xiang BuChen was someone who was a rogue inside and out ah!

If it was before, she would have undoubtedly been thoroughly disgusted by him. Yet… she was reluctant to abandon him now.

Was this the fondness between a master and disciple? Or was it the so-called affection between men and women?

As soon as she tried to visualize the scene of Xiang BuChen getting together with another female beastman, the feelings of bitterness and discomfort bubbled forth in her heart… It was not strong but it really existed.

She frowned a little but her brows relaxed soon. She should just let nature take its course!

The flush faded away a lot after she washed her face with cold water. And just as she finished getting dressed, she heard Xu’s voice calling her to eat.

She was a little embarrassed when she opened the door. She knew that a beastman’s hearing ability was very good; she didn’t know how much he had heard. But seeing that there was nothing unusual about Xu’s expression, she calmed down. No matter how the relationship between her and Xiang BuChen developed in the future, it was a matter between them. When did she ever care about the thoughts and opinions of unrelated people?

The food was just as sumptuous as ever.

Tropical seafood paella, honey-dipped bluefish, meat with red wine, bacon rolls with stuffed vegetables, thick and creamy three-flower soup, cheesy vegetable bakes……

Vibrant dishes with rich flavors.

Yang QiQi, however, could not completely immerse herself in the delicious food like before. Intentionally or not, her eyes constantly fell on the calm and composed Xiang BuChen, who appeared as if nothing had happened.

He was quite attractive when he was not smiling. His headful of long, red curly hair looked like the flaming clouds in the sky during sunset. His sword-like eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, although somewhat contradictory, formed the ideal combination of resilience and flirtation when placed together. Furthermore, he had a straight nose and moderately thick lips… Even his teeth were neatly placed and pure white. Seeing he could easily bite and tear the meat, she marveled at how powerful and sharp they were…

“Is something wrong?” Xiang BuChen raised his eyebrow and look at her.

“Nothing.” Yang QiQi withdrew her gaze unhurriedly. She appeared unperturbed as she finished her food and stood up. “You guys eat slowly. I’ll go and check on Nian JiMo and Zheng Shou.”

The two were too busy to return home for their meals.

She stepped into the kitchen. By the time she finished loading the food containers and came back to the living room, Xu was already waiting there.

“Let’s go.” He took the containers from her hand.

As soon as the two left, Tu Jin and Ling Yue slammed their knives and forks on the dining table and stared at Xiang BuChen with a questioning gaze. Don’t think they are blind! They had noticed Yang QiQi’s eyes lingering on his face during the entire meal even though nothing unusual happened on the way back. Something like this had never happened before. The two had a feeling that something happened between Xiang BuChen and Yang QiQi when they were busy cooking In the kitchen.

Xiang BuChen ignored their meaningful stares and ate his food unhurriedly.

“Xiang BuChen, what’s happened between you and QiQi?” Tu Jin was the one who lost his cool most often. Faced with the calmness of the other two, he conceded defeat and opened his mouth first.

“What do you mean?” Xiang BuChen lifted his eyes. The fork in his hand shamelessly stretched towards Tu Jin’s plate as he picked up a piece of bluefish and put it in his mouth.

“You think we don’t understand, huh? She had been looking at you this whole time. I don’t think you look better than you were in the morning, alright? This nose, these eyes, and those features are also not any different than before!”

Before, no matter how attractive he was, Yang QiQi didn’t treat him as someone of the opposite sex. So, of course, she wouldn’t pay attention to his appearance or admire him. But now, she was facing his presence squarely. His position in her heart had also undergone a qualitative change. Although she was still a bit confused and hesitant, how could he let her think about it for too long? Now that a crack has been smashed open, he must naturally persist and attack to maximize the chances of his victory… and let the dust settle before the ranking competition ends. Or else, when those two get free enough to accompany her again, he didn’t know if he’d get such a good opportunity again.

Xiang BuChen planned it carefully in his heart, not showing a trace of it on his face. He said casually: “Ask her yourself if you’re that curious.”
