Episode 16 The Most Beautiful Thing in the World? Part 3
There weren’t many days left until the hot spring trip ended, but not a single plan had progressed.
Nothing had happened.
Nothing at all!
This was too much, too much, no matter how you looked at it, it was just too much!
“Hehehe, so the blue fox who’s always been scheming against others finally has a moment of defeat.”
“If you have time to mock me, why don’t you think about how to win back Juncheng’s heart instead!”
“You were the one who wanted to be a subservient dog and please Juncheng, not me. I’m just here to watch the funny fox make a fool of herself and enjoy myself, hehehehe.”
The damned ice block chuckled behind her hand again. Her condescending gaze was like looking at a circus monkey, or like looking at a lower life form. It was enough to make a person furious.
“Aren’t you anxious at all!”
“Why should I be anxious? We have no shortage of ‘time’ right now.”
I scoffed at that statement.
As expected, the dead ice block had also fallen victim to the ‘poison of time’.
Because Juncheng had gained eternal time, there would be plenty of time to spend together in the future, so there was no need to rush.
That’s completely wrong!
Thinking like that meant you were already numb.
Emotions would fade like this. Love would weaken, the passionate phase would slowly cool down, and eventually, both parties would become indifferent.
_book.SFA.
Is this what it means to be an old married couple?
CE novel
I don’t want to be an old married couple like that!” I want to cling to him, to stay by his side forever.
To love him is to give him all of yourself, to pour everything into loving him. That way, at least you won’t have any regrets.
So I just have to wait to be summoned?
There will be plenty of time to spend together later?
….
How utterly ridiculous.
Love can’t be obtained by just waiting.
If you don’t take the initiative, someone else will snatch it away.
I raised my head and looked at her. She had taken the lead, always been in a superior position, handled everything with ease, and was the first person Juncheng accepted.
It was you, Ji Lianbing, who made me understand this point!
Because of you, Juncheng rejected me.
Because Juncheng rejected me, I realized that I had to get what I wanted myself.
You should understand this perfectly well. You should also understand my feelings. Yet, have you also fallen?
“Don’t look at me like that. I understand what you’re thinking, but I won’t waste my breath trying to convince you. Do whatever you want, hehehehe.”
“You blame me for wasting my feelings, so go drown in the ‘eternal’ deception.”
If she had said this at any other time, the dead ice block would have definitely retorted, but this time, she didn’t unleash her signature venomous tongue.
“‘The eternal deception’… What do you think?”
She asked Lou Yi, who had been silent all this time, making me wonder if she was mute.
I suspected that the dead ice block had become so laid-back recently because of her influence.
Novel
Lou Yi was a peculiar person.
Although she was formally part of Juncheng’s harem, she was rarely seen by his side.
She never actively sought out Juncheng, nor did she actively demand anything. She even had very little interaction with those around her, so her presence was very low.
I couldn’t figure out what she was thinking, and I couldn’t analyze her psychology through micro-expressions.
Sometimes I even wondered, did she really love Juncheng? No, perhaps she didn’t even have emotions?
Moreover, I knew nothing about her.
Others had more or less experienced ‘tribulations’ with Juncheng before their love finally blossomed.
But she hadn’t.
It was said that Lou Yi had accompanied Juncheng for tens of billions of years, but I knew nothing about what had happened between her and Juncheng.
Her current state made it seem like ‘nothing had happened’.
Lou Yi didn’t actively seek out Juncheng, and Juncheng didn’t particularly favor Lou Yi either. Their interactions were few and far between.
It was strange, why would such a person remain by Juncheng’s side?
She was practically the antithesis of a harem member.
After a long while since the dead ice block posed her question, Lou Yi finally seemed to come back to life and opened her mouth.
But instead of answering Lianbing’s question, she looked at me and said something nonsensical.
“You’re sulking.”
I was completely stunned then. My left brain was thinking, ‘What is she talking about?’ and my right brain was thinking, ‘Me, sulking? What am I sulking about!’
Then, a fire ignited within me. I was angry, but I didn’t know how to retort.
What made my temples throb even more was the dead ice block’s high-pitched laughter.
“Hehehehehehehe~ Sulking? Oh my, that’s a very accurate summary~ Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing, hehehehe…”
“You two have had enough! This is simply unreasonable!”
Lou Yi remained expressionless and took a sip of tea.
“Your possessiveness is very strong.”
“Heh, it’s jealousy at work, isn’t it? You said you established this harem for Juncheng, but in the end, you’re the one who can’t stand the situation?”
Ji Lianbing rested her chin on her hand, squinted, and said with a teasing smile.
A devilish fire burned within me.
Was I jealous?
Frankly, at this point, with such a large harem, what was the use of being jealous?
Could I drive away all those eyesores?
It was already impossible!
So, jealousy was something I simply wouldn’t…
“In this situation, a man needs to coax you.”
“Don’t go around being seductive, just go talk to Juncheng properly.”
The two of them suddenly stood up, grabbed my arms, and pulled me out.
“Ah? Wait! What are you two doing! I’m not ready to see Juncheng… Let me change my clothes! My hair is messy too… Ugh, let go of me!”
“Hehehehe, it’s not like you’re a concubine meeting the emperor, why are you so nervous?”
“This is like a concubine meeting the emperor! I don’t want Juncheng to see me looking sloppy, let go of me!”
“You and I built this harem together, yet you’ve ended up being imprisoned by it? You’re more stubborn than I imagined. Even I’ve given up on having him all to myself, yet you’re still clinging to this?”
“I never… thought about having him all to myself…”
“Although it’s a harem, it’s a different concept from ancient harems. You know that too, right? Juncheng never thought of himself as an emperor with a harem.”
“But…”
“Forget it, you’re being pathetic. I can’t be bothered to give you a pep talk. Go find Juncheng yourself.”
By the time we were talking, we had already arrived in front of Juncheng’s room.
Wait, wait, it’s the middle of the night. Juncheng is still sleeping. Don’t wake him up now, I…
Lou Yi opened the room door.
Then, the damned strong woman threw me out.
Immediately after, my face hit something quite elastic, and I was bounced back.
“Mmm~”
A seductive voice sounded, and I realized there was another woman here.
Juncheng, who was sleeping, was woken up by me. He propped himself up, scratched his head, and looked at me, asking.
“Haa… Lan?”
Mmm, I sat on the floor in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.
You two! Just you wait!
