383. One Puzzled and the Other Angry (III)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou got up from the bed and touched Long Xiaoyuanâs head. âHow are you? Are you okay?â Long Xiaoyuan blinked and looked at him aggrievedly. âIâm not okay.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou pouted, âYou are too frail.â
Long Xiaoyuan felt even more aggrieved when he heard this. âSo this is my own fault?â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou didnât answer him, getting out of bed.
Long Xiaoyuan almost lost control at sight of the beautiful body. âDonât move. You need a bath.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou turned his head and said lightly, âOkay. Go and order some water for the bath.â
âOkay.â Long Xiaoyuan was eager to serve his lover, so he quickly got out of bed.
In fact, the Shadow Guardians were thoughtful. They estimated that the bathing water would be needed in the morning, so they had prepared it long ago, which was being warmed in the kitchen.
When Long Xiaoyuan ordered for the water, they immediately went to fetch it at a high speed.
Long Xiaoyuan was quite satisfied with their efficiency.
He nodded at them and closed the door, carrying s.h.i.+ Qingzhou in his arms.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou did not move and let Long Xiaoyuan bath him.
During the bath, Long Xiaoyuan was groping s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, who slapped his hand and vaguely smiled. âYou seemed to call me Beauty last night.â
Long Xiaoyuanâs heart skipped a beat and he quickly said, âHow was that possible? Did you hear it wrong? I called Qingzhou! â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at him indifferently and said calmly, âAre my ears so bad?â
Long Xiaoyuan swore, âEven I said, â Beauty,â I meant you. In my heart, you are definitely the most beautiful beauty in the world!â
âReally?â s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was not moved.â But I heard something else.â
Long Xiaoyuanâs heart was pounding. He tried to recall if he had said last night anything he shouldnât have said, but his memory was a mess, and he could not remember anything.
Long Xiaoyuan asked carefully, âWhat else did I say?â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at him indifferently and said slowly in a soft voice, âWhat do you think? Do you need me to remind you?â
Long Xiaoyuan hastily said, âQingzhou, if I said anything bad, you can hit me and scold me. Donât take it to heart. I donât know what happened last night. I slept soundly and my head was in a whirl.â
âAre you making an excuse?â s.h.i.+ Qingzhou slowly interrupted Long Xiaoyuan.
âNo, no, how can I make an excuse? Qingzhou, Iâm explaining.â
âExplain?â s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said with a faint smile,â What are you trying to hide?â
Long Xiaoyuanâs mouth twitched, pulling a long face. âQingzhou, you have to believe me. I was really calling you beauty last night⦠â
âReally?â s.h.i.+ Qingzhou replied indifferently. He got up and jumped out of the bathtub, wiping himself with a cloth and getting dressed.
Long Xiaoyuan followed him happily. âQingzhou, let me help you get dressed.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou glanced at him. âNo, I can do it myself.â
âHow can you do it yourself? Iâll do it. Let me serve you.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled. âYou want to make it up for me? Long Xiaoyuan, it looks like you didnât know that it was me last nightâ¦â
Long Xiaoyuan hastily said, âIâm not! Qingzhou, I often help you get dressed. Why didnât you say that before? Qingzhou, do you dislike me? Do you think Iâm not doing well? Qingzhou, are you going to transfer your affection to someone else? Please donât. Iâll be too wretched in that case!â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan indifferently. âYouâre really good at making unfounded countercharges.â
Long Xiaoyuan was lost for words.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou took another glance at him and straightened his clothes, saying slowly, âTake your time to think of your beauty. Have another sweet dream. Iâll be off.â
After he spoke, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou walked straight to the door.
âDonât go!â Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly called out and chased after him, but s.h.i.+ Qingzhou had left and closed the door.
âQingzhou!â Long Xiaoyuan shouted and instinctively intended to continue the chase, but he stopped abruptly.
d.a.m.n it, he had dressed Qingzhou, but he was not wearing anything himself!
Long Xiaoyuan patted his face in annoyance and hurriedly put on his clothes.
Why didnât he mind his words last night?! Look what he had gotten himself into!
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou went out of the room.
The Shadow Guardians hurriedly saluted at sight of him. s.h.i.+ Qingzhou waved his hand in a good mood.
That was right. He was in a good mood without the slightest coldness and displeasure when he was with Long Xiaoyuan!
Suddenly, Liu Suifeng came over.
âYouâve come? Liu Suifeng smiled.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded. âYou went out early in the morning?â
Liu Suifeng nodded. âYes, I went out⦠By the way, did the drug work yesterday?â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou thought about Long Xiaoyuanâs reaction and nodded. âNot bad.â
Liu Suifeng got curious. âWhat are you going to do with the hallucinogenic? Iâm a little curious.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at him and said lightly, âTo do something.â
Seeing that s.h.i.+ Qingzhou did not want to tell him, Liu Suifeng did not insist, saying, âWell, Iâll go have breakfast. What about you?â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou thought for a while and said, âLetâs go together.â
The two of them walked to the dining room at Liu Suifengâs.
A short time afterwards, Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly came out of the room. âWhereâs Qingzhou?â
âHeâs having breakfast at Dr. Liuâs.â The Shadow Guardians answered.
After Long Xiaoyuan got the answer, he hurried away.
When Long Xiaoyuan arrived, the breakfast had just been served and the two of them hadnât eaten yet.
Liu Suifeng saw Long Xiaoyuan coming over and immediately greeted him, âYouâre here. Letâs have breakfast together.â
How could Long Xiaoyuan eat? He was wronged. He had no appet.i.te at all. He hurriedly sat down beside s.h.i.+ Qingzhou and said, âQingzhou, donât be angry. I got sick last night and my head was in a whirl. I really donât know what I said, but no matter what I said, I didnât mean any of it. Donât be angry with me, okay?â
Liu Suifeng blinked and suddenly said,â s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, did you use the hallucinogenic that you asked from me on him last night? Why?â
Hearing this, both s.h.i.+ Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan looked at him at the same time, one puzzled and the other angry!
