Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Qin Xixi: I’m Not Locking the Door, No Need to Kick It! (Please Follow)
Xiao Ye felt really weird. *Why did it matter what kind of pajamas she wore? Why did it have to be something he liked? Plus, she wanted him to touch it, and only if he liked how it felt she’d wear it?*
"Qin Xi’Er, don’t make it so complicated, just wear whatever you like. Pajamas aren’t meant for other people to see, and they’re definitely not for people to touch. No need to ask me."
Qin Xi’Er shook her head, "No, it’s gotta be something we both like, whether it’s what we wear, what we use, the sheets, the comforter."
"???" Xiao Ye’s mind was a mess, big question marks practically popping up on his face. "That kind of thing, what kind of thing?"
What you wear, use, sheets, comforter?
*What kind of situation would you even need all that for?*
Qin Xi’Er’s pretty little face turned red, her eyes dodging his. "The kind of thing you like to do."
Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched. *The kind of thing he liked to do? News to him.*
"Be specific," Xiao Ye said.
Qin Xi’Er didn’t respond.
Xiao Ye thought it was no fun and said, "Tomorrow I’m going to the Imperial Capital with Yun Bing on business. I’ll be out of Devil City for a few days. You can spend some time with Mu Qingxue and get to know Kunpeng Academy. Check out Devil City."
Qin Xi’Er nodded, "Got it."
"I wanted to ask you something."
"Besides these pajamas I’m wearing, are there any other styles you like?" she asked.
Xiao Ye was confused, "For me to wear, or for you?"
Qin Xi’Er answered, blushing, "For me."
Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched, "Just wear whatever you like."
*He liked all kinds of sleepwear: sailor suits, teacher outfits, maid costumes, bunny girl, flight attendant uniforms, and like dozens more, but there was no way he could say that to Qin Xi’Er. She was too naive, and it would ruin her easily.*
*He really couldn’t be the one to ruin Qin Xi’Er.*
"Alright, just figure it out yourself. I’m leaving," Xiao Ye said, heading out.
Qin Xi’Er looked a little disappointed, "Oh."
When Xiao Ye reached the hallway and was about to close the guest room door, Qin Xi’Er called out again, "I’m not locking my door at night, so you don’t have to kick it down. If you want to come in, no need to break in, just turn the handle and walk in."
Hearing that, Xiao Ye paused mid-step, face freezing.
Kicking? Breaking in?
*Two hours ago, he’d kicked in Mu Qingxue’s door—his first time ever doing something like that. So Qin Xi’Er had seen it?*
Wait!
Xiao Ye’s eyes widened. *So that’s what Qin Xi’Er was talking about earlier.*
At that moment, Xiao Ye’s face turned dark, anger bubbling up inside him. Keeping his face stony, he marched right back into Qin Xi’Er’s room, stared her down, and said,
"Qin Xi’Er, did you see me break into Mu Qingxue’s room and now think I’ll break into yours too?"
Qin Xi’Er saw how upset he was and, a little scared, nodded quietly, "Y-Yeah, so what?"
Xiao Ye: "..."
He answered, deadpan,
"Let me be clear, I’m not going to break into your room. You don’t have to worry."
"Also, am I really that much of a scumbag in your eyes?"
Qin Xi’Er muttered quietly, "It’s fine, I don’t mind."
Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched, "You prepared all this stuff, had me look at it and touch it, just to prepare for me barging into your room, huh?"
Qin Xi’Er nodded, "That’s right." ƒreewebɳovel.com
"Why, do you like me?" Xiao Ye asked directly.
Qin Xi’Er’s pupils shrank with shock, "How did you know!"
Then she covered her face with both hands, shyly saying,
"Ugh, my daddy, seriously, I can’t believe he told you that. So embarrassing."
Xiao Ye: "..."
*Did she need someone to say it? Anyone with eyes could tell.*
Xiao Ye touched his handsome face. *Being too good looking is a curse sometimes.*
"It’s late, bye!" Xiao Ye glanced outside the window. The sky was pitch black with not a trace of light; it was almost 11 o’clock.
"Pssst!"
As he walked, before even leaving the room, his foot stepped on something, a hissing noise as it popped and flattened.
"?" Xiao Ye picked his foot up and saw a question mark practically appear above his head.
It was a Durex. The problem: Did he drop this thing?
Xiao Ye didn’t remember carrying one around.
"Ah!" Qin Xi’Er suddenly squeaked, then checked her pocket—it was empty. "Sorry, that’s mine."
"Shoot, when did it fall out? I didn’t even notice."
Her cheeks flushed red, she rushed over in a rush of perfume, squatted down, and scooped it back up into her pocket.
Xiao Ye: "..."
He reminded her, "That one’s already broken, you can’t use it anymore."
After that, he left, heading back up to his third-floor bedroom.
*Why did Qin Xi’Er have that thing? Xiao Ye had a feeling it had to do with him somehow.*
Once Xiao Ye left, Qin Xi’Er shut the door, dove face-first into her comforter, *so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole and disappear.*
Third floor.
While Xiao Ye was asleep, he felt someone sneak into his big bedroom, moving so quietly, as light as a feather.
The sound of rustling, and after about ten seconds, Xiao Ye felt someone crawling under the covers and hugging him like an octopus.
Gauging the size with his hand, Xiao Ye said,
"You arrogant little brat, what are you doing here so late?"
"Oof! Busted." Mu Qingxue sounded a little surprised. "I wanted to tattle to you about something."
Tattling?
Xiao Ye was confused, "Tattle about what?"
Mu Qingxue exposed her, "Sister Bingxi and Sister Si Yao kept whispering to Qin Xi’Er, painting you as some massive perv and greedy scumbag, trying to twist Qin Xi’Er’s opinion of you and make her hate you."
Xiao Ye’s face darkened. So it was Cheng Bingxi and Nangong Siyao stirring up trouble.
*That explained why Qin Xi’Er had been acting so weird last night.*
But then, Xiao Ye grinned and said, "Don’t worry about it. However much they want to slander me, it’s all made-up nonsense. The lies they tell about me will all be crushed by the truth eventually."
"Plus, Qin Xi’Er doesn’t actually hate me."
Mu Qingxue suddenly said angrily, "Xiao Ye, can’t you just beat them up? Out of all the beast-girls, you’ve only ever beaten me up! You never lay a hand on the others!"
Xiao Ye thought about it and nodded, "That’s right. You’re the only beast girl I’ve ever roughed up. You’ve got tough skin, what’s the harm?"
"Tough skin?!" Mu Qingxue’s face turned dark with outrage. "I am so NOT tough—I’m super delicate!"
"Xiao Ye, you’d better explain yourself. Who’s got thick skin?"
Xiao Ye felt like his life was in her hands, squeezed tight. He went cold all over and blurted out, "I’ve got thick skin. Me. Just me."
Mu Qingxue finally let him go and snorted, "That’s what I thought."
"So, are you going to beat me up again?"
Xiao Ye didn’t even hesitate, "What do you mean, beat you up? That was practice. Since you became my beast girl, have I ever actually hit you? Not once. That was all before you signed on."
"Besides, this is the beast-girl era, not peacetime. Combat power is what really matters, nothing wrong with a little sparring."
Mu Qingxue thought about it and realized it was true. *Her frustration instantly melted away.*
"Alright, enough messing around. Tomorrow, Yun Bing and I are heading to the Imperial Capital to collect the resources you need to upgrade—Reincarnation Rule Fragment Crystals. I’m always looking out for you, you know, so quit making trouble," Xiao Ye said gently.
Mu Qingxue, still clinging to him like an octopus, nodded, *a little touched in her heart*, and said, "I know."
