“What about this?” Xia Lei htly tired, but happy nonetheless At that enuinely unproblematic, free from all worries and distress in life All he wanted to do was stare blankly at the night sky, silently stargazing on the beach with the gorgeous wo beside hiht it would be this interesting, this…” Tsukino Kyoko hesitated htly aard, she continued nonetheless “Exciting Co even”

Xia Lei chuckled in response

“Boss, rest assured I’ll keep everything that's happened tonight a secret frohed ever so slightly as he replied “Even if you keep this a secret, what’s done is done And I’ed”

“No, it’s not your fault It was ht, let’s stop this here” Xia Lei shi+fted the conversation “Kyoko, try giving it a deeper thought What hallucination did you experience earlier? Did you hear a voice? Try tellingthat you can recall, as detailed as possible”

Kyoko pushed herself hard to recall everything that caly, “Nah, everything seems to have slipped past my head Did I really hallucinate just now?”

Xia Lei clarified “Yes you did, you toldon huo Try concentrating harder,froht, seely in deep contemplation, but her hand on the contrary seemed to reach out towards his forbidden spot

The crystal skull unsurprisingly gave no response

Xia Lei chucked the crystal skull back into the backpack, then carried Tsukino Kyoko to the sea and washed off all the impurities on her body

He then carried her to dry land and began dressing her up

Halfway through, however, Tsukino Kyoko let out a petite moan as she awoke

“Boss what…” Tsukino Kyoko stared bafflingly at Xia Lei and his antics
