Chapter 299 – Great God, I heard you’re going to travel a thousand li to deliver (33)
—Could it be… I was deceived again?
Fang Shi’s eyes drooped slightly, the light in them gradually dimming.
Just as Yan Luo finished putting on a bathrobe, a system notification rang in her ears.
[*Ding*— Fang Shi’s corruption value +10 (75/100)]
Yan Luo was in the middle of towel-drying her short hair when she heard the notification. Her eyes widened in surprise.
Oh no, who upset my Little Cute, my little princess this time?
Doesn’t everyone know that Fang Shi is a precious princess who needs to be pampered?
She pulled open the bathroom door, and the lingering steam curled around her as she stepped out, an eyebrow raised.
Fang Shi, upon hearing the noise, did not turn around. His body stiffened slightly, his lips pressed into a thin line. Only after a long pause did he finally turn to look at her.
Fresh from the bath, the ‘boy’s damp hair clung to his forehead. Her features were delicate and ethereal, as if she had stepped out of a painting.
His throat felt dry. He wanted to speak but didn’t know what to say.
Should he question her directly? Or quietly put the item back and pretend he never saw it?
Fang Shi had never shown mercy to those who deceived him—aside from the people of the Fang family. Deception was something he despised the most.
But when it came to her…
He didn’t understand what kind of spell he was under.
He just wanted her to explain. Hurry up and tell him. Even if it was a lie, that was fine.
Just don’t lie to him anymore, okay?
He would hide her away, in a place only the two of them knew.
He would still spoil her, still love her, would that be okay?
Yan Luo : No, it wouldn’t.
Her gaze flickered to the object in Fang Shi’s hand, and her lips twitched slightly.
She had considered that her cover might be blown one day, but she never expected it to happen in such a ridiculous way.
This was way too embarrassing.
This idiot.
She hadn’t been wearing a binder, her robe was loose, and he hadn’t noticed a thing. Yet, in the time it took for her to shower, he had managed to dig this out?
Impressive.
Fang Shi didn’t speak. He took two steps forward, still holding the package of sanitary pads in his hand, his dark, husky voice carrying an unreadable storm of emotions.
“I think I need an explanation.”
“Explain what?” Yan Luo squinted lazily, yawning. “It’s exactly what you see.”
As she yawned, her mind wandered.
Shouldn’t he be happy? Finding out that she wasn’t actually a guy…
Wait.
Could he actually be gay?
Was he angry because he felt deceived, thinking she had tricked him into falling for a guy?
Yan Luo startled herself with that terrifying thought, staring hard at him.
Then, she heard his voice, laced with suppressed anger.
“So you already have a girlfriend, and yet you still—”
“Stop!”
Yan Luo cut him off, blinking in confusion.
What the hell does he mean by ‘already have a girlfriend’?
But she wasn’t dumb. Watching his expression and recalling his words, her brain pieced it together.
She was speechless.
—Buddy, are we even on the same wavelength?
This dude’s thought process was on another level.
“Are you f*cking crazy?” The words slipped out instinctively, before she could even think about it.
Fang Shi froze, his wide eyes looking at her innocently, as if he couldn’t quite understand why he was the one getting scolded.
“Oh, f*ck! That d*mn thing is mine, do you understand?”
Furious, Yan Luo took two steps forward and snatched the package out of his hands, shooting him a glare.
“How are you this stupid?”
Her glare was filled with pure, unfiltered disdain.
