Chapter 238 - To Cower or Not? (2/2)

He was completely convinced that Lei Xing loved him, despite the fact that whenever he said he loved her, rather than respond in kind, she would hug or kiss him as her response. It was now very clear to him that she simply had a problem with those words.

The Emperor lightly chuckled to himself and lightly kissed her cheek, then because he could not help it, he planted another on her lips. When he raised his head, he saw Lei Xing's eyes were open. He smiled at her, she blinked at him and her face and ears speedily turned red. Before he could say anything, she covered her head with the blanket.

The Emperor snorted and then laughed as he went to remove the blanket from her face, but she held on tightly, ”Stop hiding.” He said in amused voice.

She had been avoiding looking at him directly since last night. He had simply made one little comment about how he never expected that she had such a -...an adventurous side to her and she turned beet red, hugged him tight and buried her head in his chest to hide her face from view. The Emperor laughed and thought it was extremely adorable that she was feeling shy after all that. She was such contradictory sometimes.

But he was amused and let her hide last night, hugging her back until they asleep.

But now this morning she was still being like this. It would be a problem if she actually started to avoid him because of a stray comment. He should have kept his commentary to himself but it was too late for that now.

Besides, her shyness was quite amusing.

”I'm not hiding!” Lei Xing responded back in a muffled voice,  ”I'm just cold.” As she knit her in annoyance.

{...Why the hell am I hiding? This is making it more awkward than it needs to be!... It's his fault, why would he shock me with his face and that stupid smile so early! I panicked...stupidly >_

”Cold? You looked rather hot to me...Are you feeling ill?” The Emperor asked in a ”concerned” voice as he pat the top of her head.

Lei Xing cleared her throat and lowered the blanket a bit to reveal her eyes so she could glare at him. The Emperor smile brightened and then he said, ”Have I mentioned that I love your blushing face? It's perfectly adorable...”

Lei Xing narrowed her eyes at him, ”If you keep making fun of me then it'll never happen again, you can trust me on that.”

The Emperor sighed and sweetly said, ”Xing er', there's no need for such drastic measures between you and I. As adorable as it is, there's no need to be so shy~” He said as he lowered himself to her level as he lightly pulled the blanket down.

Lei Xing looked at him and then glanced off to the side. She had tried her best to ensure that it was a private matter. She had made sure to draw the curtains down before she began. As for the bracelet, she tossed it and it was probably lying on the floor somewhere. And she was sure she would get an earful from its owner later.

Now that she thought about it, she had completely forgotten about the Emperor's voice.

{...O_O) What kind of big brother bullshit is this?! >_

The Emepror was leaning in for a kiss when she suddenly grabbed his arm and asked, ”D-do you think it was w-watching?”

The Emperor raised an eyebrow, ”What?”

Lei Xing knit her brows, ”T-the Voice thing, d-do you think it was watching or listening? You know what I mean!”

The Emperor blinked at her a few times, he had never thought about that before. He looked at Lei Xing's red face and put on a reassuring smile, ”It wouldn't have...” There was no way he could tell her he did not know. With how agitated she gets, their s.e.x life would most likely end when it had only begun and that would definitely be a big problem.

Lei Xing frowned and the Emperor caressed her cheek and said, ”I told you there's nothing to worry about with it...It's a friend.”

”Friend doesn't equal 'not pervert'.” Lei Xing quipped back. The idea of an old man sitting somewhere sipping wine and watching her do those things was most disconcerting.

”Don't worry, it's a principled entity.” The Emperor reassuringly said, going for the kiss again. But Lei Xing again stopped him and the Emperor knit his brows, suddenly regretting sharing this secret with her.
