Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Accompanied for a Day and a Night

"Duan Jianchuan, what kind of reaction is this? I wasn’t like this before, it’s only after being rejected by Third Brother that I’ve become like this, right? If we’re really talking responsibility, Third Brother still owes me one."

DateQing Yue staggered with each step, swaying like a willow in the breeze.

She had none of the pride she’d shown just moments before.

With a headache, Duan Jianchuan replied, "What use is there in telling me all this?"

Qing Yue pouted, "I just want to know, what does Third Brother see in her? I don’t think she’s normal either. Looking at her Spiritual Bone, she’s from another race too. Why did he choose her over me?"

Numbly, Duan Jianchuan answered, "Why does it have to be you that he chooses?"

Qing Yue shot back, "Why can’t he choose me?"

Duan Jianchuan didn’t really want to talk to him.

Seemingly finding himself boring as well, Qing Yue stretched lazily and said in an uninterested tone, "Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. Where did that kid go? He doesn’t seem like an ordinary person either."

Duan Jianchuan glanced toward the side courtyard, "I let him go rest. Don’t bother him, and don’t think about him. Be careful, or Third Brother might take your life."

At those words, Qing Yue clicked his tongue, "Third Brother really is protective of her, isn’t he?"

It went without saying who "she" was.

Duan Jianchuan paid no more attention to Qing Yue.

Qing Yue was bored to death but knew well Duan Jianchuan’s disposition.

He was a closed book, and trying to tease him would only infuriate oneself.

...

Jiangli didn’t know when she had woken up.

When she awoke, the room was pitch-black, with faint light coming in through the window.

It appeared to be the middle of the night.

Jiangli frowned slightly, just as she was about to move, her hand moved only to find it being held by the person next to her.

She looked up and could vaguely make out Fu Shiyan’s profile, which took her by surprise.

As if puzzled, she looked at her own hand, then at Fu Shiyan, and then at their surroundings...

She and Fu Shiyan were actually in the same bed!

Oh right!

Jiangli suddenly remembered that she had agreed to it with Fu Shiyan.

That was no big deal.

Jiangli used her other hand to rub the corner of her forehead, just as she was about to get up.

"Awake?" Fu Shiyan’s voice, slightly hoarse, suddenly echoed in the darkness.

His voice, which was already pleasant, was even more alluring with the raspiness of someone who has just woken up.

It was really nice.

Jiangli unconsciously hummed a response.

Immediately, there was rustling beside her.

It sounded like someone was getting up.

Then, the lights in the room suddenly turned on.

Jiangli squinted instinctively and saw Fu Shiyan sitting up.

Their hands were still clasped together.

Jiangli, feeling unusually ill at ease, immediately withdrew her hand and coughed, asking lightly, "How long have I been asleep?"

With an unchanged expression, Fu Shiyan responded, "About a day and two nights."

Jiangli was stunned, "So it’s the second night now?"

With a faint smile, Fu Shiyan confirmed, "Yes, it’s already past four in the morning. I’ve been lying beside Lili for a day and a night, and my bones are hurting. Doesn’t Lili have anything to say about that?"

There was a smile on his face, not too flirtatious, but not entirely innocent either.

To put it bluntly, it was teasingly flirtatious.

To put it nicely, it was just joking.

The nuance was perfectly captured.

Seeing him, Jiangli was momentarily taken aback, feeling even more uncomfortable, and she subconsciously leaned back, "It’s my debt to President Fu. How about I treat President Fu to a couple more meals later?"

Fu Shiyan: "..."

Looking at Jiangli’s earnest expression, Fu Shiyan couldn’t help but laugh, "Is there anything that can’t be solved with a meal in Lili’s world? "

Jiangli coughed, "Of course, good food can settle many things, doesn’t it..."

She chuckled apologetically.
