Chapter 773: Come to My Bed Now (1/2)
Knock knock!
I carefully opened the door and looked into the living room after knocking. The lights were all turned on, and He Yi, Murong Mingyue and Beiming Xue were all sitting on the sofa looking like they were waiting for me.
”Big bro is back!” Beiming Xue said with a smile.
He Yi asked, ”Why are you just standing there? Come in already!”
I pointed behind me and said, ”Er… well… I brought someone back with me…”
”Oh really? It can’t be a certain pretty babe, can it?” Murong Mingyue replied with a giggle.
”...”
……
”Get in already!”
After Lin Yixin pushed me through the door, she slipped into the workshop and greeted everyone from the entrance, ”Sister He Yi, Sister Mingyue, Beiming! Long time no see, everyone!”
Beiming Xue exclaimed in pleasant surprise, ”Wah! Sister Lin Yixin came back with you, big bro?”
I replied awkwardly, ”Er… her university was closed by the time we finished supper, and Yiyi said she wanted to come here since it’s been a long while since she saw everyone. Do you mind her sleeping in your room for the night, Beiming?”
Beiming Xue nodded. ”Not at all!”
……
Before He Yi and Murong Mingyue could rise to their feet, the intelligent Lin Yixin had already latched onto He Yi’s arm and shot her an affectionate smile, saying, ”Sorry for missing most of the time for this Nation War and letting Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls bear all the burden, Sister He Yi. Please don’t get angry with me, hehe…”
He Yi burst into a giggle herself. ”Of course not. If it wasn’t for your God’s Tear at the end, Lu Chen would’ve dropped to Level 0.”
I added, ”My account would’ve been deleted if I had dropped to Level 0.”
”Ah? It was that bad?” He Yi exclaimed in surprise.
I nodded affirmatively. ”Yeah. Resurrection Art isn’t a perfect skill.”
Murong Mingyue immediately said, ”This is a classic ‘beauty saves the beast’ story alright…”
I glared at her. ”Who are you calling a beast?”
Beiming Xue suggested, ”Should we play Legends of the Three Kingdoms since there are five of us today? We can sleep after a game or two…”
I nodded. ”Sure. What do you girls think?”
The three girls nodded in unison. ”Let’s do it!”
……
The battle began after the cards were put down, everyone had taken their seats.
During the first match, He Yi was the Emperor, and Beiming Xue and I were the Rebels. We pretended to be Loyalists, but the true Loyalists, Lin Yixin and Murong Mingyue, quickly figured out our ruse. Murong Mingyue’s Zhang Fei was unbeatable, so she annihilated both of us an instant.
During the third match, Lin Yixin threw in the towel very early into the game. While we were busy murdering the hell out of each other, she took something out of her handbag and went away to the kitchen. A while later, she carried a tray of five tea cups to us and said, ”I learned a little sado from a cute Japanese girl while I was abroad in Vancouver. Please give it a taste, everyone. It’s a Ning Shen Tea…”
I asked, ”Awakening (Ning Shen) Tea? Will it keep us from falling asleep?”
”No way, I’m nowhere skilled enough to produce such an effect…”
While saying this, Lin Yixin carried a cup of tea to He Yi herself and said carefully and politely, ”Sister He Yi, please give it a taste!”
He Yi accepted it without a word.
Murong Mingyue commented as she watched the scene, ”What a lovely scene this is. Don’t you agree?”
He Yi and Lin Yixin both looked at her in confusion. ”What do you mean, lovely?”
Murong Mingyue giggled. ”I was just reminded of the olden days when a man receives a new concubine. This is exactly how the concubine serves tea to the first wife…”
”Pu…”
An amused He Yi looked like she didn’t know how she should react. Lin Yixin turned red as if she was found out.
……
Beiming Xue said with a smile, ”Now that you mention it, it does look like that. Big bro, are you marrying both Sister He Yi and Sister Lin Yixin?”
I replied awkwardly, ”What the fuck girl, I… haven’t thought about this yet….”
Lin Yixin let out a chuckle. ”In his dreams!”
He Yi nodded in agreement. ”Yeah, like something this fantastic would happen to him. Yiyi and I ain’t that easy!”
I curled my lips and rose to my feet. I then wrapped a hand each around their waist and said with a smile, ”Wives, I’m going to sleep, so come to my bed immediately…”
Murong Mingyue goggled at the unbelievable sight. ”He’s acting uncharacteristically bold today. Was alcohol served at your supper, Yiyi?”
”No!” Suddenly, Lin Yixin let out a devious laugh and caught He Yi’s hand in her own. ”Come on, Sister He Yi! Let’s go to his room and wait for him right now! Let’s see if he actually has the guts to carry out his claim!”
