Xie Ji eagerly hugged his pillow and knocked on Lu Xunji's door.
The moment Lu Xunji opened the door, he was greeted by Xie Ji's face, smiling like a little fox.
Tsk, how did I never get tired of this little money pouch's smiling face?
Lu Xunji unconsciously rubbed his index finger against his thumb and stepped aside. "Come in."
Xie Ji thought nothing of it and was about to plunge straight into Lu Xunji's bedroom, but he had barely gotten one foot through the door when someone caught his wrist.
He looked back and saw not only Lu Xunji's inscrutable half-smile, but also his good buddy who had designs on his ass.
Xie Ji: "..."
"I knew it, you heartless little thing." Ji Shi was slightly out of breath, his grip on Xie Ji's hand rather tight as he dragged him out of Lu Xunji's room. "Come with me."
Lu Xunji reached out his long arm and caught Xie Ji around the waist, looking at Ji Shi with his smile unchanged. "What are you doing? It's already late. We're going to bed. If you have something to say, leave it until tomorrow."
Xie Ji nodded hastily. "Right, right, tomorrow. Leave it until tomorrow!"
Ji Shi abruptly turned to look at him, a trace of a tremor in his low voice. He said nothing else, only calling softly, "Xie Ji."
He seemed afraid. Young Master Ji had never been so afraid of being rejected.
Xie Ji: "..."
Although this was not the outcome Xie Ji had wanted, Ji Shi was indeed the person who had given him the most since he came here. Now, even his affection was the first to max out.
People said that things obtained too easily would never be treasured, but Xie Ji felt the exact opposite.
Someone willing to give away even something as precious as affection by the handful was never cheap.
The young master had always been outrageously generous.
Xie Ji thought it over, then turned to Lu Xunji. "How about, tonight I..."
Lu Xunji's arm tightened slightly around his waist, and his voice held a hint of warning. "If you leave, don't even think about setting foot in here again. Think it through before you decide."
"Who do you think cares?" Ji Shi's expression was hardly any better as he said coldly, "Xie Ji, let's go. I'll give you something better."
Xie Ji weighed his options, then pulled Lu Xunji's hand away. "I'll explain when I get back."
The next second, a triumphant Ji Shi pulled him away.
The expected system notification sounded.
The little bit of affection Xie Ji had painstakingly gained with Lu Xunji plummeted again, even further than before. This time, it dropped straight to -250.
It looked like he really was furious.
Would it take ages to coax him out of it?
Ji Shi pulled Xie Ji back toward his room, gesturing excitedly as he talked to him.
"Don't get too close to Lu Xunji. Who knows what he's plotting? Don't be afraid. Even if the Xie Household doesn't want you, this young master does!"
"I did so much work today. I'm exhausted."
Ji Shi pulled Xie Ji into his room. Since he had exchanged all his points for living amenities, the bedroom was already looking quite presentable. Even if it couldn't compare to Lu Xunji's luxurious room, it still counted as a cozy bedroom.
"But the moment I got home and saw you, I was still so happy. I felt like all the dampness and filth in the mud today had been worth it."
Ji Shi did not let go of his hand, but he did not dare look at Xie Ji's face. He could only turn his head away, showing Xie Ji just half of a bright red ear tip.
"I've never felt this way before. It's strange, and sometimes it feels awful. I get angry whenever I see Mu Yao or Lu Xunji getting close to you, even though I'm really not such a petty person."
"But it seems like whenever anything involves you, it turns this strange."
"Xie Ji... you..."
He took a deep breath, his expression as resolute as if he were heading to the executioner's block.
"You know what I'm saying, right?"
I'm back from having fun!
Tomorrow, I'm going to write like crazy!
Definitely!
