Chapter 89: 4.27 Third Blue Star - Homeless

It's been three day since Xie Ye started living in Gui Lan's Manor. No one cared about him, just the fact that his name is written on the doc.u.ments that he is one of the co-owners of this land, Xie Ye was even able to enter the manor without key codes from Gui Lan. His biometrics is obviously recorded as the owner of the house.

SID Headquarters.

Office of the Chief.

Xie Ye comes over to check the progress on Yi Zheng and Li Xing's side. While Li Xing is interrogating his twin brother with an esper who could influence one's will, Yi Zheng and Xie Ye were in the office waiting for him. The chief is currently buried under is working while peeking at his big brother seating on the customized couch which Gui Lan usually occupies. He looks at Xie Ye in a state of dubiety.

Yi Zheng's Thoughts:

'What's wrong with dage? Why is he folding the couch cover so carefully as if it's an invaluable object!? That blanket is only a few dollars worth, a cotton couch cover bought by Hei Lan in a night market. Urgent help!

#Someonehelpmemyelderbrotherhadgoneinsane!?#

'

On the other hand Xie Ye's thoughts were that of a worried husband.

'The texture of this couch cover is not good for Lan'er's sensitive skin. He'll get rashes. The pillow is not big enough and not soft at all. Let's bring these home and bring a replacement tomorrow.'

Thoughts of Xie Ye.

Then as if remembering something Xie Ye who just finished folding the blanket and pillow looked at Yi Zheng after placing the two things on his lap like it's a treasure. Suddenly seeing Xie Ye looking at him, Yi Zheng's heart almost exploded in fear though his face remained neutral as always.

Getting stared at.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

'd.a.m.n! Did I do something wrong again!? I don't remember doing something wrong! Wuwu~ Someone save me! Xing'er please return soon. Your husband is about to get killed.'

Yi Zheng's inner thoughts.

"A'Yi." calls Xie Ye.

"Y-Yes, Dage!" replied instantly Yi Zheng.

Xie Ye spoke, "You remembered the last time you've gone to Lan'er's house right?"

"L-Lan'er? [Ah~ dage must be talking about Gui Lan.] No I haven't gone to the Gui Clan's Mansion lately except when dage is there." replied Yi Zheng.

Xie Ye responded. "I'm talking about Hei Lan's Manor. That day you have to borrow clothes to Lan'er because you've played with the mud together with that man called Li Guang."

Yi Zheng suddenly remembered the scene of being tackled on the muddy ground by that scheming guy, Li Guang frowned upon recollection. "That... I remember."

"Good. Return to me the s.h.i.+rt and pants you've borrowed that time. I'll give you a week of time. Be sure to look for it. Else I would destroy your little den if you don't return my clothes." said Xie Ye.

Yi Zheng's face paled when he heard that his house might get destroyed because of clothes. "Eh? Why? Didn't Sir Hei say that the owner would mind losing a few s.h.i.+rts and pants?"

Xie Ye frowned and replied, "I mind! Return those clothes to me. You have this week to look for it or else..."

Lan'er bought those clothes for me! Why would I allow someone else to wear it? It's mine alone!

Yi Zheng immediately agreed to it despite his confusion. After all looking at Xie Ye's dark face he knew that the latter isn't joking about destroying his house.

"I will look for it! As soon as possible!"

Wuwuwu~ dage since when did those clothes become yours!? I'm so confused but more scared now.

Xie Ye responded. "Go clean up the Li Family by tonight."

Yi Zheng could only watch Xie Ye leave his office carrying the couch cover and pillow Hei Lan used to utilize.

[A/n: Xie Ye only calls Gui Lan as Lan'er and calls Hei Lan as A'Hei.]

Coincidentally, Li Xing returns at that moment and b.u.mps into Xie Ye who is on his way to leave. They b.u.mped each other at the door.

"Xie-ge you're going home early today?" asked Li Xing.

"Yes. Busy with something. The plan was finalized and it will be done 3 days from now. Be prepared and clean up the rest." said Xie Ye.

"Yes, Xie-ge! We will get everything under control before the final raid." replied Li Xing as his eyes noticed the familiar looking pillow and blanket on Xie Ye's hands. Obviously those are Hei Lan's things why is Xie Ye taking it with him.

"That's good. I'll go now." said Xie Ye who left at once he finished saying those words.

"Okay?" responded Li Xing but still bewildered.

As soon as Xie Ye left Li Xing to his lover to clear the question in his mind.

"A'Zhe why is Xie-ge bringing Sir Hei's things with him?" asked Li Xing.

Yi Zheng didn't reply immediately instead he was covered in a gloomy aura that Li Xing failed to notice.

"I don't know." whispered Yi Zheng as he replied to his lover's question.

Li Xing who couldn't hear his voice because it was too quiet. "What?"

Yi Zheng suddenly hugs Li Xing by his waist.

"Wuwuwu~ Xing'er save me! I will be homeless because of a pair of s.h.i.+rt and pants~"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" asked Li Xing.

Yi Zheng replied, "IT'S DAGE. HE SAID HE WILL DESTROY MY HOUSE IF I DON'T RETURN THAT PAIR OF s.h.i.+RT AND PANTS!"

"Hey! Can't you tell me the whole story!? I don't understand anything A'Zhe." responded Li Xing.

Yi Zheng could only tell Li Xing everything while in tears.

Evening.

Gui Clan's Main Mansion.

By the grid s.p.a.ce near the huge window of the place, a young beautiful man with raven hair and sapphire eyes was seating. Looking at the scenery outside the window. The huge moon in the night sky was the only lighting in the darkness of that empty room where this young man stayed. This person was looking at the distant horizon beyond his line of sight. This drop dead gorgeous young man is none other than Gui Lan in his Hei Lan's appearance.

"Yue, how are the protagonists doing?"

asked Gui Lan

[Reporting to the host. Under the leaders.h.i.+p of the Protagonist Gong, Yi Zheng and Protagonist Shou, Li Xing, they captured Li Guang last night. After leaving him to their foster parents they are now planning to capture the whole Li Family.]

Gui Lan's face is devoid of expression while listening to his system's report.

He then asked,

"I see. How is that man then?"

Gui Lan was asking about his lover.

[After his ident.i.ty as the Reaper was exposed by the host, he helped with the preparations for the large raid against the syndicate. When the schedule for the raid had been finalized this afternoon, he came over to the library looking for Yun Li to ask where the host location is. Since the host's location is unknown he instead visited that little manor the host owned in the Inst.i.tute's land. The villain is current in your manor's master's bedroom.]

"Pfft~ let's continue to leave him hanging there for a few days. He dares ignore me and reject me in such a way! Not only that he didn't recognize me, he even chose to disregard me."

[But host, isn't he just trying to be loyal towards his love for you. It is because he thought that Hei Lan is another person, he chose Gui Lan over everything.]

"So what? It is his fault for not noticing it was me. I've left him too many hints and among that little group only Yun Li recognize me."

[But the host changing his temperament completely is to blame.]

"What are you talking about, Yue? Me hating boredom, the crazy me and having personality disorder is the real me. I showed that to them when they were children."

[According to the host memories you didn't. The host only acted like a well-behaved genius and a little beauty, who acts to mature despite his young age. Moreover the Hei Lan the host portrays is like a seductress mythical fox with slight similarities to your persona when you were in your childhood. It is normal that only the very observant Yun Li who likes to watch you in silence recognizes the host.]

"Now that you've said it, I restrained my temper in fear of scaring the young version of my husband. Well since it is like this, I will visit him later after talking to father. For now go observe that destroyer for me. Don't get caught okay?"

[I will not let myself get caught. Don't worry host.]

"Good. You can go ahead, Yue."

[I will return soon, host.]

System Yue left to complete the task his host had given him. After separating from his host for a while, Yue didn't notice that a pair of argent orbs was observing him hiddenly from behind. Seeing his system take his leave, Gui Lan suddenly disappears from the grids of the window. No one notices his departure.

Psyche Inst.i.tute

The manor behind the Inst.i.tute.

Master's Bedroom.

The lights inside the room were dimmed only a dull lampshade by the side of the bed was lit. On the other side of the bed is a side table with uncorked red wine and half filled gla.s.s wine. On the huge king sized bed at the center of the room is a man in his black pajamas sleeping deeply. Only the small sound of him breathing can be heard. The person in his slumber is Xie Ye. He had Hades-black eyebrows affixed to an aesthetic face. An imperial nose, angular cheekbones on a taut skin and sharp jaw that was obdurate and unyielding. He had Corinthian shoulders above a six-pack stomach on a Greek G.o.d's body. His body proportion is close to perfection, his muscles were firm and muscular but it doesn't looked bulky instead hale and

hearty. This man looks like the most perfect being in this world.

A shadow hovers above Xie Ye's head, as a cautious man, he never lets his guard down even in his sleep. Feeling another person's presence over him, Xie Ye instantly opened his eyes revealing a fierce touch on those vermilion irises. In that split second he was able to grab the presence above him and pulled him on the bed. Caging the person below him, he was able to retaliate against the person when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Ouch! You've dislocated my shoulder! Hurts~ Wuwuwu~"

said Gui Lan who had tears in his eyes as he couldn't move his right shoulder which Xie Ye pulled just now.

Xie Ye who was shocked speechless in seeing Hei Lan before him. Could feel his sight swirling before him. At the beginning it was Hei Lan's face slowly it turned to Gui Lan's features. Obsidian hair turning to aquamarine and sapphire eyes swivels to beryl. But that tempting presence of Hei Lan remains though the person's whole appearance changes before him. At first Xie Ye thought it was a dream. In the last 15 years of his life he could imagine this mature Gui Lan in his fantasy.

His voice quivers and hoa.r.s.e as he calls for the name he was yearning all this time.

"Lan'er?"

calls Xie Ye as he stares intently at the beautiful being under him. His eyes red in strain as he didn't want to blink afraid that this realistic imagination of his would fade.

Xie Ye could only pull the latter in his embrace to a tighter hug as if wanted to chain the person to himself.
