Li Ze and He Xingjue encountered a significant problem while checking in.
"Because there are more students and teachers participating than in previous years, the hotel is almost full. There are only three rooms left, but four judges haven't checked in yet. Considering that you two are a married couple, would it be alright if you shared a room?" the hotel receptionist asked cautiously.
He Xing was secretly delighted, but his face remained expressionless as he seriously asked Li Ze, "What do you think?"
Li Ze frowned but remained silent.
"This is the largest room we've given you. Besides a bedroom, there's a living room with a sofa. It's definitely spacious," the hotel receptionist said hurriedly.
"I'll sleep on the sofa," He Xingjue whispered to Li Ze.
Although the voice was soft, the hotel receptionist still heard it, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.
"Okay," Li Ze agreed.
Hotel receptionist: "......"
It seems she overheard some incredible secret.
The room was indeed quite large, and the sofa was also very big, more than a meter wide and more than two meters long, enough for He Xingjue to sleep in.
"Go take a shower first, then have dinner at the hotel's buffet restaurant," He Xingjue said to Li Ze.
Li Ze grunted in response, and without being polite to He Xingjue, headed straight for the bedroom.
Li Ze took out his clothes from the spatial button. As he was about to walk into the bathroom, he seemed to remember something, so he went over, closed the door, and locked it.
He Xingjue, who was on the sofa, was stunned when he heard the click, and then chuckled softly.
You've learned to be wary of him; that's progress.
When Li Ze came out of the shower, he immediately saw He Xingjue grinning foolishly on the sofa and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
He Xingjue looked up at Li Ze, his breath hitched, and a surge of lust rose in his lower abdomen.
No wonder everyone says men are most handsome after taking a shower!
His desires could no longer be hidden!
He Xingjue rushed into the master bedroom and into the bathroom, saying, "After I take a shower, we'll go to the dining room together."
Li Ze grunted in response, looking at He Xingjue's hurried appearance, puzzled. Was it really necessary to be in such a rush?
As soon as he entered the bathroom, He Xingjue slammed the door shut. He leaned against the mirror, looking at the lustful figure in the reflection, and exhaled a deep breath.
Fortunately, Li Ze didn't see himself in this state.
Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll be scared away by me.
Just thinking about how, a minute ago, Li Ze was standing here naked, and his unique scent still lingered in the air—
grass!
It's over!
He Xingjue took a long time to shower, almost an hour. He only came out while drying his hair when Li Ze was almost asleep on the sofa.
Li Ze looked up and saw the other person's satisfied expression. He asked in surprise, "Just taking a shower, and you're so content?"
He Xingjue's face stiffened, and the anger he had just suppressed almost flared up again. He quickly coughed twice and changed the subject, "Go to the restaurant now?"
Li Ze stood up. "Okay. I just received news that there's a judging panel meeting in two hours."
"Open it again? Haven't we already opened it online a few times?" He Xingjue raised an eyebrow.
"Shouldn't this be a question for you? Don't you have any experience?" Li Ze asked in surprise.
"This is my first time. My first time being a judge, and also my first time being a judge with you," He Xingjue emphasized earnestly.
Li Ze looked puzzled. So what if it's the first time? Is it that important?
The restaurant was packed at this time, and there were no seats available, but as soon as students saw Li Ze and He Xingjue, they immediately gave up their seats.
Once the spot was given up, the students hurriedly ran off.
Before and during the competition, students are not allowed to approach the judges; those who violate the rules will be disqualified from the competition.
Li Ze watched the students run away and memorized their faces.
“You sit here, I’ll go get the food,” He Xingjue said.
Li Ze nodded and did not refuse He Xingjue's arrangement. Once he left, this position would probably be taken by someone else in no time.
"Li Ze?"
An unfamiliar voice came from behind.
Li Ze turned his head and saw a face that wasn't unfamiliar.
"There are no seats available. Do you mind if I sit here?" the person asked.
Li Ze nodded, "Okay."
Those present were either students and teachers, judges and staff. Considering that they would be working together in the future, Li Ze did not refuse.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Yi, and I am the commander of the White Tiger Legion." Zhou Yi introduced himself.
“I know you,” Li Ze replied.
Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow. "You knew that, yet you still agreed to let me sit down? Don't you know about the feud between me and He Xingjue?"
"Just sitting at the same table doesn't prove anything," Li Ze said dismissively.
“That’s true,” Zhou Yi agreed. “However, your husband probably doesn’t think so. Look, his face has turned dark.”
Li Ze looked at He Xingjue, who had returned with two plates, and his handsome face was indeed dark.
So, Li Ze turned to Zhou Yi and said seriously, "In that case, please find another seat."
Zhou Yi's expression changed, "...Damn, birds of a feather flock together. You two are a perfect match."
"Thank you for the affirmation. You can go now." He Xingjue said expressionlessly, but inside he was overjoyed.
Li Ze defended him in public!
“His name is Zhou Yi. He thinks he’s my enemy, but I’ve never taken him seriously,” He Xingjue said. “He’s not bad, and he has some skills. But he’s ambitious, has bad character, and is treacherous and cunning.”
As Li Ze ate, he listened with great interest; this was the first time he had heard He Xingjue belittle someone.
