Chapter 92 The Fallen White Moonlight Returns Home 6

Xie Rong couldn't find the important documents for the new project in the locker, so he pursed his lips and searched again. He felt as if his foot had been bumped by a mouse in the office, but he ignored it.

After all, rats are a common sight in houses abroad.

As a result, the rat, having gone blind, bumped into him again.

Those were his new leather shoes!

Xie Rong stepped out of the locker with a cold face and glanced down at his little leather shoes.

There were two unsightly shoe prints on it.

Unable to contain his irritation, he glared at the culprit, ignoring the man's astonished expression, and slapped him hard across the face. "What are you looking at? You've dirtied my shoes!"

Gu Yuyan was brought back to his senses by the slap.

“It’s you…you’re back…” He stared intently at Xie Rong, stepped forward and grabbed Xie Rong’s arm tightly, his eyes gradually reddening, his chest heaving violently, as if he wanted to swallow her whole. “Five years have passed, and you are still as beautiful as before.”

Xie Rong said expressionlessly, "Don't think that just because you complimented me on my looks, the matter of you getting my shoes dirty can be forgotten."

"Xie Rong, Young Master Xie, I didn't know it was you just now, I thought..." Gu Yuyan smiled apologetically, then slapped himself, "Tsk, I was blind, it's my fault, please forgive my rudeness?"

As Gu Yuyan spoke, he stole another glance at Xie Rong's legs, and for a moment his heart was filled with excitement.

It felt like I was back in that summer five years ago, when Xie Rong sat on the wall, swinging her snow-white legs, munching on an ice pop, and gave him a playful smile, saying, "Is the class monitor here to catch bad students again?" Then she climbed over the wall and escaped from the school.

Xie Rong escaped from the school, but five years have passed and he still hasn't escaped the school's walls.

He must have lost his mind. Only Xie Rong could dress like that, looking both innocent and flamboyant. Just one look at him could make his blood boil like it did five years ago, and yet he hesitated.

Maybe it was that bastard Lu Baichi who deliberately left Xie Rong alone in the office, with her slender waist hunched over and legs exposed. Who would look for something so improperly? It must be Lu Baichi who corrupted him, just to lure him into a trap and sow discord between him and Xie Rong!

It's so vulgar it's disgusting.

Gu Yuyan suppressed his anger and gave Xie Rong a fawning smile.

Xie Rong crossed her arms, her pale face coldly staring at him without saying a word.

The man pulled a silk scarf from his suit pocket and knelt down to wipe the shoe prints off his leather shoes.

Xie Rong tilted his head and looked at him for a few seconds, then took a step back.

Gu Yuyan looked up, and Xie Rong smiled at him.

So he lowered his head again, took a step, and continued wiping.

Xie Rong took another step back, sat down in Lu Baichi's office chair, his smile wicked, and stepped on Gu Yuyan's hand with one foot.

Gu Yuyan wiped his shoes with her other hand and casually asked, "Why didn't you say you were coming back?"

"I don't understand what you mean," Xie Rong blinked in confusion.

"You've been abroad for five years, and you finally came back without even telling me," Gu Yuyan said through gritted teeth, his gaze darkening as he recalled the friend request that hadn't been accepted yet. "We're family friends, we grew up together, do you think I'm that shameful?"

"Who said I've been abroad for five years?" Xie Rong wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, her brows furrowing slightly. Her acting was clumsy, but it was enough to deal with this group of foolish men. "For the past five years, Lu Baichi has not allowed me to leave the country, let alone contact you."

"What did you say?!" Gu Yuyan's voice rose eight octaves.

Xie Rong feigned sadness and turned his face away.

Even more foolish than Lu Baichi, believing this. He secretly curled the corners of his mouth.

The office door was pushed open again. Gu Yuyan didn't turn around, but simply patted Xie Rong's head reassuringly, his sharp eyebrows pressing down on his eyes. "I'll teach this beast a lesson before I take you away from here."

After saying that, he turned around, grabbed Lu Baichi by the collar, and punched the man in the face.

The office was in complete chaos.

The two men were locked in a fierce struggle, gritting their teeth and staring coldly at each other, both with bruises on their faces.

Xie Rong was captivated, even somewhat excited, her cheeks flushed, her eyes glued to the screen without blinking.

"I knew it... I knew you were a beast!" Gu Yuyan's eyes were bloodshot, but his arms were held down by the bodyguards of the Lu Group.

Lu Baichi raised his fingertips, slowly wiped the blood from his lips, and then threw a punch back.

A fist-sized bruise appeared on Gu Yuyan's handsome face.

"You're just showing off because you have more people. In a one-on-one fight, you're nothing."

"Throw him out," Lu Baichi said calmly. "Gu Yuyan, if you continue to cause trouble at Lu's under the guise of cooperation, we'll see you in court."

Gu Yuyan's eyes were fierce, and his muscles bulged. In the end, his fists were no match for the men's numbers, and he was restrained and taken out of the office.

Lu Baichi walked back to Xie Rong's side.

"Your mouth is all bruised and battered like this," Xie Rong said, pressing her fingertips firmly against the man's wound.

“Compared to Gu Yuyan’s pig-faced appearance, this injury is insignificant,” Lu Baichi said, looking at him. “Isn’t that right?”

“He just dirtied my shoes,” Xie Rong said, squinting. “These shoes were stepped on by a dog, I don’t want them anymore.”

Lu Baichi nodded: "I'll go buy a new one later."

"You got hit by a dog, so I don't want you anymore." Xie Rong patted his face lightly, with a hint of disgust.

“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Lu Baichi said, wrapping his arm around Xie Rong’s wrist and nuzzling his face against Xie Rong’s soft palm. “After all, you said that I’ll keep you locked up at home for five years, not letting you see anyone or leave.”

"You were eavesdropping?" Xie Rong leaned down, bringing his nose close to his. "Then guess why I lied to him?"

Lu Baichi hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Because we are a couple and love each other, we should make him back down."

Upon hearing this, Xie Rong burst into laughter, his shoulders trembling slightly, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, staining them with a faint red.

Half a minute later, he slowly stopped laughing, but the redness in the corners of his eyes was still there.

“You don’t deserve it,” he cupped Lu Baichi’s face and gently touched the man’s bland lips, “You don’t deserve my love.”

What is love? Xie Rong had never experienced it in his entire life.

But he knew that the things that cultivators in the cultivation world would never bother to fight over were definitely not treasures.

The system emitted a buzzing sound of electricity.

A moment later.

[Congratulations, host, the protagonist's pain level has increased by 0.1]

Xie Rong: "...?"

Xie Rong tilted his head in confusion, staring at the line of red text on the screen that only he could see.

[The protagonist's threshold for suffering has increased.] The main system coldly explained, [If you had shown him even the slightest bit of affection, he wouldn't be in this state.]

Do you really hate him that much?

Xie Rong decided to show the main system just how much it hated the protagonist through his actions.

His pecks moved slowly from the man's lips to his ear, and he chuckled, "Do you like this?"

"Do you know why I know? Because every man I've kissed reacts just like you. You're all cut from the same mold. When I see you, I think of them. Kissing you is like kissing them."
