Chapter 281 - Winning Logic (2/2)

”No.” Lei Xing truthfully responded, ”But I don't need to have more experience to know it's not normal.”

”Me neither~” The Emperor said with a happy smile, patting her head. Lei Xing immediately glared at him and swat his hand away.

The Emperor snorted and then continued to say, ”Well, if we have never experienced these feelings with others before, how can we deem what we have abnormal?”

”Are you playing with me?” Lei Xing flatly asked, unamused.

”No...I'm asking a serious question. You can't know what experiences other people have in their relationsh.i.p.s. And if you haven't experienced other relationsh.i.p.s, how can you know what we have in this relationship isn't normal?” The Emperor finished narrowing his eyes back at her.

Lei Xing's face twitched in annoyance, ”Don't play mind games with me, I know mind games. You're trying to distract me, it's not working. People talk so over time a general idea of what to expect in relationsh.i.p.s has been established. THIS is abnormal.”

The Emperor quietly looked at her for a bit and Lei Xing sent him a little smug look, challenging him to refute that.

{...I win. Don't argue with logic~(─‿‿─)~...}

The Emperor put down his teacup, ”Xing er'...Have you told others about the odd happenings in our relationship?” He seriously asked, interrupting the victory lap Lei Xing was currently running in her head.

Lei Xing paused and blinked at him and then pursed her lips. But before she could respond, the Emperor added, ”Other than me of course, who you just enlightened just now and that bracelet doctor who we both suspect is unordinary...have you told any others?”

Lei Xing knit her brows and glanced over to the side with a frown.

{...Tch...This guy...but everyone isn't like me. I know I have issues, I don't talk to people but people talk to people...So it still makes sense - I can already see his counterargument to that...A simple question of ”why didn't you tell anyone?” - To which the true answer is because it's weird and I don't want to look crazy. I only told him now because an even crazier situation happened today...So obviously other people wouldn't want to look crazy and so would naturally keep qui-...}

”You're not going to respond?” The Emperor asked, with a victorious smirk of his own.

Lei Xing glared at him and then leaned back in her chair and folded her arms, ”Fine...but still you have to accept that it is all rather strange...”

”I'll accept that...” The Emperor said with a smile and then reached over again and pat her head.

Lei Xing pouted but let his hand be this time. The Emperor happily continued lovingly patting her head as he advised, ”There's nothing to worry about...Let's just relax and be happy today~”

Lei Xing glanced at his smiling face and then sighed, ”This wasn't how today was supposed to go...”

The Emperor stopped patting and let out a sigh of his own, ”True...I should be painting you right now.

When Lei Xing raised an eyebrow at him, he smilingly explained, ”You looked so stunning in your Empress's ceremonious outfit that the moment I saw you I made the decision right there to paint you tonight before I took them off...”

The Emperor then smirked and leaned towards her, ”But it's not too late, how about you go get right now? Consider it my birthday pre-””

Lei Xing rolled her eyes as the Emperor spoke, they were discussing serious life-altering matters and here he was thinking about - ”Ah!” Lei Xing suddenly exclaimed, shooting to her feet.

She was about to rush out when the Emperor promptly stood up and grabbed her arm, ”What is it?” He asked with a concerned frown.

Lei Xing blinked at him and then quickly said, ”Nothing...I just need to go ge- do something -”

”Do what?” The Emperor asked. It was already so late, not to mention, anything that made her so jumpy was definitely very concerning to him.

Lei Xing knit brows, ”Nothing important, I'll be right back!” She said quickly patting his cheek and shrugging his arm off, and moving towards the door.

Before the Emperor could say anything again, Lei Xing turned back to him with a bright smile, ”Please stay here for me...Thank you~” She sweetly said and then turned and pretty much ran out of the room, leaving a concerned and confused Emperor behind.
