Chapter 171 - 171. I'm More Attractive Than Her
Registration for the first day of the competition has ended and will continue tomorrow morning.
The participants were already in the moon pavilion, only a few rooms were occupied, maybe only a small part.
While waiting for the day of the competition to come, they were allowed to walk around the palace. But that doesn't mean they can visit all places in the palace because there are place restrictions. Such as the flower pavilion which is the residence of the King, the Nila pavilion of the Queen's residence, and many other places that are not allowed them, the participants set foot there.
It was getting dark, the orange light that spread to fill the horizon slowly disappeared. Fu Xie Lan still stood where she was without moving an inch. Several hours had passed, and the man who was her roommate had not yet returned. whereas, she had many questions to ask him.
Suddenly the door to her room opened, causing her to turn around. thought it was her roommate but it wasn't.
There, Gu Yi stood. He walked into her room with a smile on his lips.
"How are you dear?" Gu Yi asked approaching Fu Xie Lan.
"Hhhh we just parted a while ago. And of course, I'm still fine," Fu Xie Lan replied, rolling her eyes.
"You do not miss me?"
Fu Xie Lan ignored Gu Yi and turned back to face the window without responding to the man.
"I miss you so much," said Gu Yi hugging Fu Xie Lan's body from behind. like it was his duty to do so if Fu Xie Lan was in such a position.
Fu Xie Lan didn't reply to the man and let him hug her as he pleased. She doesn't know since when, she seemed to have gotten used to Gu Yi's always intimate treatment of her.
"Your roommate hasn't come yet?" Gu Yi asked curiously.
"He came out earlier."
"Oh...."
"He's a man," said Fu Xie Lan again.
Hearing this, Gu Yi's eyes flashed coldly. He didn't like it even just hearing it.
"From now on I'm your roommate," Gu Yi replied then.
"No..."
"Don't worry. If I want something, then that's what happens, honey," Gu Yi interrupted.
"But how..."
"Don't ask again. He's a man, I'm a man too. Isn't that the same thing?"
"How about your roommate?" Fu Xie Lan.
"Not as attractive as you," Gu Yi chuckled and managed to make the girl's cheeks blush again behind the mask.
"Is she a woman?" asked Fu Xie Lan again.
"Why? Are you jealous?"
"Not at all," Fu Xie Lan replied immediately.
Hearing that, Gu Yi smiled.
"She's such a beautiful woman, maybe I'm the luckiest man to be in a room with her?"
"Oh."
"You're not curious who she is?"
"Not at all," Fu Xie Lan snapped.
"Really? You don't mind?"
"No."
"That person is the woman in front of you in the queue," Gu Yi explained quietly.
"Yue Ahn?"
"Um, who else?"
"Oh."
"You are not angry?" Gu Yi asked still with a smile on his lips.
"Why should be angry? I'm more attractive than her," Fu Xie Lan snarled.
"Says who?"
"You said it earlier," Fu Xie Lan replied.
Hearing that, Gu Yi chuckled. He then tightened his hand on the girl's body so that it made Fu Xie Lan was leaning on him.
"I'm having a hard time breathing," said Fu Xie Lan slightly loosening Gu Yi's hand that was perfectly wrapped around her stomach. She then leaned against the man's broad chest. Hearing the rhythm of his heartbeat was like a beautiful melody playing in his ears.
"Sleepy?" asked Gu Yi who felt Fu Xie Lan's head rest against his chest. To be honest, he liked this position.
"No, let this be for a while," Fu Xie Lan said.
"Alright, honey. Anything for you," Gu Yi replied.
The two of them stood quietly behind the window, watching the passers-by below.
The wind blew again, Gu Yi closed his eyes for a moment. Inhaling Fu Xie Lan's scent deeply. Although her soul is not yet complete, the aroma of his queen is still there, an aroma that has become an addiction to him.
"Honey, what are you thinking?" Gu Yi asked in a low and gentle tone of voice.
There was no response from the girl.
"What's your next plan after this?" Gu Yi asked again.
But still no response from the girl.
"Maybe after this, I'll be gone for a long time. Is that all right?" the man asked again.
Again, there was no response from the girl.
"Dear?"
Gu Yi slowly turned his eyes to look at Fu Xie Lan and found the girl sleeping leaning on his chest.
No wonder there was no response from the girl. It turned out that Fu Xie Lan did not hear it.
Gu Yi lifted the girl's body slowly and very carefully. He took her to one of the beds in the room and put her there.
Each room in the moon pavilion is equipped with two beds and chairs. Intended for participants in the room.
After laying down Fu Xie Lan's body, Gu Yi didn't leave immediately. The man was silent on the edge of the bed, staring at Fu Xie Lan to his heart's content even though it would never satisfy him.
He wanted to take off Fu Xie Lan's mask, but Gu Yi was afraid that he would wake her up.
Gu Yi then moved slowly and kissed the girl's forehead for a long time.
"It's hard to be separated from you for so long. But I have to. It's for your own good too, my dear," Gu Yi murmured with eyes are seeing at the ruby locket that appeared behind the end of the cloth covering Fu Xie Lan's face.
A sigh escaped his lips. Took one of Fu Xie Lan's hands and smelled it, feeling the aroma intensely as if afraid that the next second it would disappear.
Suddenly his attention was distracted by the ring on one of the girl's fingers.
Gu Yi's brow furrowed for a moment and then a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Placing the girl's hand carefully, he then turned to the little white furry creature that still seemed to be sleeping next to Fu Xie Lan.
Since his arrival yesterday, he had never seen the creature open its eyelids at all. Could something have happened that he didn't know about?
Gu Yi then walked to the other side of the bed, approached Hao, and lifted the little creature's body.
Again, the man's brow furrowed, the mana he felt in the creature tended to be unstable.
Gu Yi then closed his eyes for a moment. And a second later, a mana stream appeared and wrap around Hao's small body.
It went on for several minutes without the slightest pause. After doing that, Gu Yi put Hao back where he was.
The frown on his forehead was gone, replaced by a faint smile that no one could detect.
"I hope, you can take care of my Queen."
