Chapter 155 - Chicken Frenzy (2/2)

Lei Xing covered her face with her hands and groaned into them, feeling incredibly embarrassed with her behavior last night. From what she remembered it was more like a battle with them rolling all over the place and she even...

{...I never thought I could be like that, not even with a hundred kilograms of ecstasy running in my system. I'm pretty sure someone would die with that much s- whatever! T_T)...}

”No.”

On hearing that word, Lei Xing immediately came out of her lamentation and went ”What?” in confusion as she dropped her hands.

”It would be unfair to Xiao Kai.” Doctor Lou informed pursing his lips.

Lei Xing knit her brows, ”Xiao Kai?... Who the hell is Xiao Kai? And what do they have to do with this? Just give it to m- ”

Doctor Lou's face suddenly lit up, ”Oh Xiao Kai you're awake? Did you sleep well? I was just talking to Xing Xing about you...” Lei Xing immediately froze as she heard the light sound of footsteps slowly approaching behind her.

”Ah, it seems Xing Xing forgot your name...It is really bad of her not to remember, her own husband's name too.” Doctor Lou finished narrowing his eyes at Lei Xing, who immediately went wide-eyed on hearing his words.

Lei Xing's mind went blank, she felt panicked and started blinking repeatedly as the redness on her face quickly intensified. Her hands clutched at her clothes and the footsteps loudly drummed in her ears and it felt like looming doom was coming up behind her.

In the end, in the face of fight or flight, Lei Xing chose flight and bolted...Proving that she was indeed a chicken, a little chicken.

”Ah, Xing Xing, the bathroom is the round door on the left. There are clothes in there for you too...Don't soak in the hot springs too long. We need to eat!” Doctor Lou shouted after her and then chuckled and turned to the Emperor, who was frowning at her disappearing back, ”I didn't think she had it in her, but she is really very cute when she is shy. You should have done this much sooner...” He said as he pat the Emperor's chest and then he stroked his beard with a happy smile.

The Emperor glanced down at him but did not say anything.

Doctor Lou seemed to be in a great mood and chuckled again then he knit his brows, ”What should we eat? Tell me, anything and everything is available...Well, except for -... Oh! I know the perfect thing! I've been saving it for a rainy - I mean perfect day.” Doctor Lou finished and then scurried off, but quickly turned back and put the ring in the Emperor's hand, ”Return this to Xing Xing for me.” and then he happily ran along, leaving the Emperor standing there, still frowning in the direction Lei Xing disappeared in.

Meanwhile, Lei Xing had found her away to the bathroom, her mind had picked up on Doctor Lou's directions and her legs had complied without her realizing it. But since she was there, she took advantage of it and quickly refreshed herself and jumped into the hot springs. The water felt nice against her achy muscles, she relaxed and took a deep breath.

{...At least I'll be safe here for a while...But why the hell did I run?! I must have looked like an idiot! T_T)...}

{...*You did look quite idiotic...}

{...SHUT UP! >_ {...*Don't worry, you looked very cute running like a chicken. he won't abandon you for something so minor...Well, probably not hehehe~...}

{...Do you think he heard? He didn't, right?...}

{...*Heard what?...}

{...The contraception stuff...}

{...*...}

The bracelet did not respond and Lei Xing soaked in silence for a while and held her head as she began groaning again.

{...*Why do you want contraception?... Last night, when you were sick, he treated you like you were some sort of precious doll that would break and now you're like this without reason...I wanted him to throw you in the water to check if you would float up, I hear that happens but he was too stubborn and instead - !...}

The bracelet let out a long depressed sigh and Lei Xing frowned.

{...Why don't you go jump into -...}

She heard the sound of the door open and froze. She dipped herself into the water, leaving half her face up like a toad and scanned the room. Then she went wide-eyed when she saw the Emperor surface from behind the half curtain. She froze and blinked up at him and he returned her gaze with a cool stare.

Lei Xing's mind shortly kicked into gear and she sprinted backwards only to meet the rocks and a wall. So she stuck herself next to the little protruding rock at the back of the pool. She brought up a hand to cover her chest and the other hand to cover her face and faced the wall as an array of lamenting expressions flew across her face.

{...WHY THE HELL IS HE HERE?!... Doesn't he know this is a private space?! GET OUT! >_

Yet she could not find her words. Instead, she just tried to blend in with the rocks hoping he would disappear.

The Emperor simply stood there looking at her back for a while and then turned away. And Lei Xing heaved a sigh of relief as she heard his departing footsteps and remained in place trying to calm her nerves as she waited to hear the closing door

When she didn't hear the door, she turned and peeked and then jumped and swiftly faced the wall again, somehow further shrinking into the rock.

{...WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! ʿʿ⁽⁽(( ⁰ⅈ⁰))⁾⁾ʾʾ...}

She internally screamed as she listened to the sounds of the disturbed water getting closer and closer, as he came in and made his way towards her.
