C95 Part2

Translated by An Edited by An

The door was closed softly, but Yang QiQi, who was supposed to be fast asleep, opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the door, her gaze full of thought.

She had indeed fallen asleep but when he slipped his tongue into her mouth, she woke up. However, since she hadn’t really determined how she felt about Ling Yue, she kept her eyes closed to escape the shame.

“From the day I swore the oath, I have become QiQi’s Guardian Beast.” Knowing that he had done an embarrassing thing and brought it on himself, Ling Yue looked straight at Nian JiMo’s icy cold gray-blue eyes and stated gently but firmly.

“I didn’t say you weren’t.” His voice was as cold as his eyes.

“……”

Ling Yue, who thought he would be beaten up by Nian JiMo, or at least scolded, was a little stunned to hear something completely different from what he expected.

“Neither I nor Zheng Shou wish of having other males around QiQi, but the law does not allow it. Therefore, if the number must be increased, I hope that the next one will be you, Ling Yue.” Nian JiMo pinched the space between his eyebrows: “Your performance until now has been pretty good. You are prudent and thoughtful towards QiQi. However, I do not wish to see such a thing happen again. If you are a good male beast, find a way to make her truly acknowledge you and stand by her side with dignity, instead of doing such a sneaky thing when she is unaware. That is not what a gentleman does.”

It was quite unusual for the cold and indifferent Nian JiMo to talk so much in one breath to people other than Yang QiQi and Zheng Shou. Just from this point, It could be seen that he had a favorable impression of Ling Yue.

Ling Yue was extremely ashamed after hearing his words, feeling that what he did had just now really violated his own code of conduct. So, he sincerely announced: “I will not do such a thing again in the future.”

Standing at the corner of the stairs, Xiang BuChen heard the conversation between the two people in the corridor clearly. Moreover, he could almost correctly guess what had happened from their words.

“I’ve never been a gentleman and I don’t want to be a gentleman.” He muttered before going upstairs with heavy steps. He nodded at the two people in the corridor and entered the guest room where he always stayed.

That day, Nian JiMo brought his work back to the small building, watching over the soundly sleeping Yang QiQi all afternoon.

Although he had long accepted the marriage pattern of one female and many males, the scene of Ling Yue kissing Yang QiQi still affected him deeply. What a ‘gentleman’, what a ‘good male beast’! Those were just excuses he used to delay Ling Yue from getting close to her, nothing more.

The reality was–– Nian JiMo was a deep vinegar jar~

As night fell, the one who was still struggling with the pile of documents at the table, couldn’t stand the lure of the little female’s sweet scent any longer. He finally put down his endless work and stepped into the bathroom to take a cold shower. When he returned, he discovered that a dirty male was hugging QiQi along with her quilt, occupying the position that should belong to him.

Nian JiMo: (╰_╯)#

He came forward and dragged the person out of bed, shaking off the dirt from the quilt. In the end, he pulled off the quilt with disgust and threw it over the person on the ground. Then he took a new quilt from the cabinet and put it on the bed, sighing contentedly while holding the little female beast.

The one on the ground covered up by the quilt turned over and revealed a dark face under the lights. Unexpectedly, it was comrade Zheng Shou, someone so busy that he often didn’t have time to return at night.

The next day, Yang QiQi arose to a beautiful spring day with full vitality, casting away yesterday’s listlessness. There was no one beside her. However, feeling the trace of a faint slump on the pillow, she moved her little face there. Soon, the corners of her mouth bloomed into a sweet smile.

After she got up, she noticed a quilt rolled up like a fried dough twist under the bed. Furthermore, there were a few dirt marks on it. Without even needing to ask, she knew that Ah Shou must have also returned last night and was kicked out of bed by Ah Ji because he didn’t take a bath again.

She quickly hopped to the window in her bare feet and separated the lavender curtains. The first rays of the morning sun and the cool morning breeze immediately assaulted her senses. She could now hear the birds chirping and the rustle of the trees clearly. Everything was buzzing with energy. She stretched a little, her arms raised high over her head.

“Good morning, Xu.” Yang QiQi opened the door and showed a bright smile to Xu, who was waiting in the corridor. With that, she ran downstairs and greeted the two people in the living room. “Good morning, Xiang BuChen. Good morning, Tu Jin.”

“Good morning, QiQi.” Tu Jin loved to smile, and now that he was affected by her emotions, he grinned cheerfully, looking even more youthful.

Looking at the young female beast full of vigor, Xiang BuChen’s eyes shone: “You seem quite energetic today.”

“Yes ah!” She nodded, “I’ll go see which delicious food is being cooked today.”

Ling Yue had heard her coming downstairs long ago so when he noticed her running towards him, he turned around and held a small and exquisite cream puff in front of her mouth.

“You’re hungry, aren’t you? I was afraid that you would have indigestion, so I didn’t dare to give you more food yesterday. Eat this to cushion your belly first. Breakfast will be served soon.”

‘A paragon of virtuous husband and good father ah! I don’t know why I’m still hesitating. It would be really foolish to reject such an excellent male beast.’

Yang QiQi, who had finally made up her mind, ate the cream puff in one bite. Then, ignoring his apron smudged with flour and a few smears of sauce, she threw herself into his embrace and wrapped her arms around his narrow waist.

“Lih Yue, be mah Gardiah Beas.”

Ling Yue spread his arms, not daring to tumble over her body. His heart was beating wildly as if it was about to jump out of his chest. The little female had never hugged him like this before. She spoke very quickly with the food in her mouth, so he couldn’t grasp what she was saying. Nevertheless, he had a feeling that this sentence ought to be the one he yearned for day and night.

Was it that sentence? Was it? It was, wasn’t it?

“Ling Yue, be my Guardian Beast.” Yang QiQi realized that her words just now were too indistinct, so she swallowed the cream puff and said it again clearly.
