I finally know why the two fishes have such personalities; it's practically a direct inheritance of the An family.
On the way back to the hotel, Ye Shuang sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window.
Fortunately, they didn't keep messing around and eventually let him leave.
I'm really sleepy. Ye Shuang yawned slightly. He hadn't slept well last night. Not only did he want to use the bathroom, but the sleeping postures of the two fishes were also quite terrible. In the middle of the night, An Shiyi had pressed her body against him and continued sleeping.
I can only go back to the hotel and catch up on some sleep. Ye Shuang stretched his neck and then narrowed his eyes to rest.
Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
Mr. Ye, we've arrived.
When he opened his eyes again, it was a man's voice waking him.
Oh, thank you, Ye Shuang said with a smile, opening the car door and stepping out.
If you need anything, you can call me, the driver said.
Alright, thanks for your hard work.
Ye Shuang walked into the hotel and stood at the elevator doors. On the electronic display screen to the side, the numbers were continuously decreasing.
Should I eat something before sleeping? I only drank tea at the An family earlier. Just as Ye Shuang was thinking, with a ding, the elevator doors in front of him slowly opened.
Several people walked out, all quite tall and imposing. Leading them was a blonde noblewoman in a black dress. Even with Ye Shuang's height of 1.8 meters, he had to look up at her. Following beside her were a few bald bodyguards.
Good morning. The noblewoman's gaze fell on Ye Shuang, her bright red lips curling up as she suddenly greeted him with a smile.
Ah, good morning. Ye Shuang noticed that her face seemed to be covered by a thin veil, but he still replied to the stranger's greeting.
The noblewoman then turned and left, and Ye Shuang took the opportunity to step into the elevator.
These foreigners are quite polite. Ye Shuang pressed the floor button, pondering slightly in his heart. However, he had a strange feeling, as if he had seen that foreign woman somewhere before, even though her appearance was obscured by the veil.
Is it just my imagination?
After confirming that he indeed didn't know her, Ye Shuang shook his head, but then it was as if he realized something.
Did she just... use Chinese?
...
...
Ye Shuang walked to his room door and reached out to knock.
Soon, the door opened.
Ye Shuang.
Bai Yuyou reached out and hugged Ye Shuang, burying her face in his chest and rubbing against it. You're back.
Ye Shuang subconsciously wrapped his arms around the girl, giving her soft body a firm hug. Then he looked into the room, only to find no sign of Keke and Chen Qin.
Where are they?
Shopping, Bai Yuyou said.
I see. Ye Shuang glanced at the bed not far away, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over his brain.
Getting older, it seemed he couldn't stay up late anymore, even though he had slept a little last night.
Yuyou, I want to sleep for a bit, Ye Shuang said. Since Chen Qin and the others hadn't returned yet, he might as well catch up on his sleep. Even just half an hour would restore a lot of his energy.
Okay, Bai Yuyou nodded.
Ye Shuang didn't even change his clothes, just lying directly on the large, soft bed.
In an instant, sleepiness hit him like a tidal wave.
Meanwhile, Bai Yuyou sat by the bed, quietly watching Ye Shuang. Her beautiful eyes beneath her bangs remained fixed on him until his breathing steadied. Only then did she quietly climb into bed.
She didn't disturb him; instead, she grabbed a fresh pillow, lay on her side next to him, and continued to watch him silently.
Perhaps sensing something, Ye Shuang opened his eyes, his gaze landing on Bai Yuyou's pretty face.
With strands of hair falling over her cheek, Ye Shuang reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear, then gently pinched her cheek. Are you going to sleep too?
I want a hug, Bai Yuyou said softly.
Is that okay? You're sleepy.
Come here. Ye Shuang opened his arms, and Bai Yuyou leaned in, snuggling close to his side.
Feeling her soft body and warm temperature, Ye Shuang rested his chin on her head and went back to sleep.
In just two or three seconds, Ye Shuang fell asleep again. Whether it was because holding the soft Bai Yuyou was so comfortable or because he was just too exhausted, he was now letting out soft snores.
Nestled in his arms, Bai Yuyou blinked her beautiful eyes, seemingly sensing his fatigue.
Was he that tired at An Shiyu's home last night?
Bai Yuyou subconsciously checked Ye Shuang's wound, her mind beginning to wander, but soon her eyelids grew heavy, and she eventually fell asleep in his warm embrace.
Ye Shuang slept for a full hour. When he opened his eyes again, he found that Chen Qin and Tang Keke had returned and were sitting at a nearby table eating.
He sat up and rubbed his aching head.
Ye, you're awake. Noticing him sit up, Chen Qin smiled and asked, Do you want some breakfast?
Yeah, I'm a bit hungry.
Ye Shuang yawned as he got out of bed. He glanced over at Keke, who was currently playing a mobile game with Bai Yuyou. It was a tower defense game similar to Defend the Radish. He didn't know what character she had deployed, but it cleared all the small monsters on the map with a single shot.
Isn't it a strategy game? Ye Shuang asked after taking a look.
Dunno, I'm just playing around.
Uh...
Ye Shuang sat down next to Chen Qin. After taking the bread she handed him, he once again noticed the medicine bottle in front of her.
You shouldn't take things like vitamins carelessly, Ye Shuang reminded her.
Mhm. Chen Qin smiled and put the bottle back into her bag. Then she noticed the exhaustion on his face. Did you not sleep well at Little Yu's home last night?
With a bunch of crazy people, how could I sleep well? Ye Shuang looked away and started eating his bread.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat them in a fight, holding the two fishes down to spank them wouldn't have been out of the question.
But that family's combat power was indeed a bit too high.
Chen Qin: OvO?
Do you want to sleep a little longer? Chen Qin asked.
Hmm... it's fine, a cup of coffee will do. Ye Shuang didn't want to spend the whole day sleeping to catch up. Either coffee or an energy drink could solve his drowsiness. Besides, he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt much better after holding Bai Yuyou for that short nap.
[Replenishing Bai Yuyou energy?]
That was probably it.
If you're sleepy, don't force yourself. Chen Qin reached out, wrapped her arms around Ye Shuang's neck, and pressed his face into her soft chest.
Ye Shuang realized that resting his eyes like this for a bit wasn't a bad idea either.
Speaking of which, it seemed his novel hadn't been updated yet. If his reader sugar-daddies could send some free gifts, he could probably sleep even more soundly (?).
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
