Chapter 94 Taicheng - 8 Tang Bufan taking a bath...
While Tang Bufan was taking a shower, He Yun went into the room and hung his clothes in the closet. When Tang Bufan came out wearing a bathrobe, he saw Lu Yi sitting on the sofa.
Lu Yi was wearing a brand new white tank top and black casual pants. Her hair was still wet and hanging down her back, which made Tang Bufan very uncomfortable.
"Come here," Tang Bufan called out to him, who happened to be holding a towel.
Lu Yi happily went over, and Tang Bufan sat down on the soft bed. Lu Yi then sat down in front of Tang Bufan and obediently let Tang Bufan dry his hair.
“Wan Bing just arrived, and he should be taking a shower in his room right now,” Lu Yi said to Tang Bufan.
Tang Bufan was immediately relieved upon hearing this, and while drying his hair, he asked, "What about dinner?"
“There’s a restaurant nearby that caters to guests. We can eat there, or we can order food to be delivered to our room using the computer.” Lu Yi pointed slightly to the computer in the study: “There’s an AI butler when you turn it on.”
Tang Bufan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the restaurant and order Wanbing."
After he finished speaking, he wrapped the towel around Lu Yi's head and began to rub it quickly, like rubbing a dog's fur. Lu Yi was obedient and didn't make a sound while his head was being played with like this, but he was a little dazed from being rubbed.
"Go to the bathroom and get the hairdryer." Tang Bufan gently patted his arm.
"Oh." Lu Yi got up and walked towards the bathroom, while Tang Bufan took a damp towel to dry his hair.
As he wiped the clothes, he walked toward the classic solid wood wardrobe against the wall, opened the door and looked inside. There were three suits, three sets of pajamas, three sets of casual clothes, three sets of Tang suits, and some individual coats and jackets.
Wow, Tang suits. Tang Bufan reached out and took out one of the suits with great interest. It was a dark blue robe with a Chinese-style stand-up collar, tied diagonally at the waist with a rope buckle with a Chinese knot. The right shoulder was embroidered with cloud patterns that spread downwards in silver-white silk thread, like growing vines. The hem and sleeves of the robe were also decorated with the same patterns. It was very exquisite.
Next to the wardrobe was a full-length mirror. Tang Bufan held up the Tang suit to himself and found it matched his height.
"It looks good." Lu Yi had already come out with a hairdryer, but he didn't use it. He just stood there watching Tang Bufan with a slightly silly smile on his face.
"You like it?" Tang Bufan asked him with a smile.
Lu Yi pursed her lips and nodded, her face actually turning slightly red.
"Then wear this." Tang Bufan happily took the men's Tang suit into the bathroom. Lu Yi was a little disappointed when he saw him go in. He wanted to see Tang Bufan change in front of him.
The faint sounds of changing clothes came from inside, like tiny insects continuing to tickle Lu Yi's heart.
"Let's blow-dry our hair." Lu Yi forcibly diverted his attention.
Tang Bufan came out quickly. The clothes fit him better than he had imagined, with the cut close to his body. However, this also caused him to tense up whenever he made a big movement. Fortunately, the soft and loose black trousers relieved the tightness.
Lu Yi's eyes lit up instantly, her hair stopped blowing, and her golden-green beast eyes stared intently at Tang Bufan's slender waist, her eyes full of admiration.
Tang Bufan walked to the standing mirror, looked at it, and sighed.
"Wow." He looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction: "This outfit is really nice."
"..." Lu Yi was speechless for a moment before putting down the hairdryer and walking behind Tang Bufan, reaching out to put her arm around the man's waist.
He lowered his head to kiss Tang Bufan's still slightly damp head, and then kissed his ears and cheeks little by little.
And while kissing him, he looked at Tang Bufan in the mirror; he liked him so much.
"Don't hug me so tightly, my hair is still wet." Tang Bufan smiled, his ears tickled from the kiss, and his skin blushed slightly.
“…Beautiful.” Lu Yi had a thousand words in his heart, but in the end he only said this one sentence.
He buried his head in Tang Bufan's shoulder and took a deep sniff; the man's scent mixed with a faint fragrance of shower gel made him feel very comfortable.
"Stop messing around." Tang Bufan felt a little hot from his antics and nudged behind him with his elbow, then realized that the Tang suit was a bit tight.
"Come and help me dry my hair." Tang Bufan then got out of his arms and walked to the sofa by the window.
Lu Yi was overjoyed and immediately took the hair dryer and walked behind Tang Bufan, running her fingers through his silky black hair.
"It's still cold, put on another coat," Lu Yi said, worried that Tang Bufan might catch a cold because he was so thin.
“Okay.” Tang Bufan nodded, and Lu Yi helped Tang Bufan pick out a loose-sleeved white outer garment from the wardrobe and put it on for him like a servant.
Oh no, the more he looks at him, the more he likes him. Lu Yi's mind is no longer on going out; he wants to move Tang Bufan around in all sorts of poses he likes.
He suddenly understood why some little girls liked to play with dolls.
Tang Bufan, of course, had no idea what was going on in his head. After tidying up, he put on the matching cloth shoes and left the house.
The twins were sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard. When they saw Tang Bufan, they immediately stood up, their eyes showing surprise and amazement.
They didn't expect Tang Bufan to choose to wear a Tang suit right away. Most people would be a little shy, but Tang Bufan was very generous.
Tang Bufan also trained. When he first became a model, he was shy about posing. But after taking more photos, he could face the camera naturally no matter what hairstyle or clothes he wore, even if he had a belt around his neck or his clothes were semi-transparent.
"Mr. Louis, Mrs. Tang, Mr. Pei asked me to inquire whether it would be convenient for you to have lunch with the President tomorrow at noon?" He Xing asked the two in a gentle voice, her gaze quickly shifting from Tang Bufan to Lu Yi.
"It's convenient," Lu Yi replied.
He Xing smiled at him and said, "Okay, I'll reply to Mr. Pei."
It was already dark when Tang Bufan knocked on Wan Bing's door and called the middle-aged man out. The evening breeze from the mountaintop rustled the bamboo leaves.
Wan Bing also put on new clothes, but he chose to wear a suit. When he saw Tang Bufan, he was stunned for a moment before he realized who it was and praised with a smile, "So it's Madam Tang. I thought it was an immortal from a book."
Tang Bufan was already used to his exaggerated words. He smiled and then asked the twins to take them to the restaurant.
The restaurant is called Shanzhen Pavilion, not far from their Qingzhu Xiaoxuan. It is built next to a cliff in the mountain and has a view of the entire city of Taicheng at night.
The restaurant's chefs and servants were still there; they all knew that guests from the Western Federation had checked into the compound today.
Despite being a private residence, the facilities were better than those in a tourist area. Tang Bufan couldn't help but sigh again, standing by the railing and looking at the very regional scenery below the mountain. The commercial district of the inner city was already lit up with neon lights, while the public rental housing in the outer city was dotted with lights like stars, and outside the huge, dark city wall, there was only deathly darkness.
"Wan Bing, what's your nephew's name again?" Lu Yi asked the middle-aged man sitting opposite him.
"Wan Yiming, he's a search soldier from the 37th Detachment of the 11th District of the Outer City." Wan Bing quickly gave his nephew's name. Whether the Wan family could rise to prominence depended on this opportunity.
“I’ll ask Mr. Pei to transfer the person over tomorrow,” Lu Yi said.
"Hey! Hey!" Wan Bing was overjoyed and quickly poured tea for Lu Yi.
"Lu Yi, has your Western Federation developed to this level as well?" Tang Bufan asked the young orc, his hands gripping the railing.
“We also have a central area and an outer city, but we don’t build public rental housing; we only collect property taxes,” Lu Yi said, looking at the 24 clearly defined districts below. “That’s why the urban area isn’t as well-organized as Taicheng.”
“Your Western Federation is much more developed than our Eastern Federation,” Wan said enviously. “You have a good relationship with humans, and humans are willing to help you with construction.”
Lu Yi smiled faintly and remained silent.
After dinner, it was getting late, so Tang Bufan put on his Tang suit and went back to his room to take it off. As soon as he changed into his pajamas, he saw Lu Yi climb in through his window.
Tang Bufan raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"The young master of the Western Federation's head of state, actually climbing through someone's window in the middle of the night?" Tang Bufan teased him in a low voice.
"It's all because you insisted on having two rooms, teacher." Lu Yi complained, climbing directly onto Tang Bufan's bed.
The He twins lived in a room on the side so that they could communicate easily, but Tang Bufan always felt uncomfortable being watched, so he slept separately from Lu Yi to let them see.
"I still prefer our RV." Tang Bufan, still in his pajamas, got into bed and touched the soft mattress beneath him, sighing, "After five years in the wild, I can't even live in modern society anymore."
"You'll get used to it eventually." Lu nestled her head into Tang Bufan's arms, inhaling his fragrance. "Teacher, you'll be coming back to the Western Federation with me later. My family has a lot of servants."
Tang Bufan felt a lot of pressure when he thought of Lu Yi's terrible father and his brother who was said to have personality problems.
Although the bed and environment were unfamiliar, Lu Yi's presence helped Tang Bufan fall asleep. When he woke up early the next morning, Tang Bufan immediately sent Lu Yi back through the window, and left the house yawning while wearing a Tang suit.
One of the twins was sweeping the yard when he saw Tang Bufan and immediately asked him with a smile, "Mrs. Tang, would you like to have breakfast at the Mountain Delicacies Pavilion or inside?"
Tang Bufan thought of the computer in the room, so he asked, "I ordered food through the computer, will someone deliver it to me?"
"Yes."
"How convenient." Tang Bufan sighed, and after breathing in the fresh morning air, he immediately went back to his room and turned on his computer.
This post-apocalyptic computer is even more advanced than those of the 21st century. It uses a projector keyboard, has no mouse, and is equipped with a very intelligent AI assistant that can control all the electrical appliances in the room.
Of course, it could also connect to the next room, so Tang Bufan and Lu Yi talked across the room.
"Let's have breakfast inside."
"Okay. Teacher, would you like to climb the city wall with me later?"
"Huh? Aren't we supposed to have lunch with the head of state?"
"Be back before noon."
Tang Bufan thought for a moment and realized that he didn't have as much energy as Lu Yi. It was his first time meeting such an important person, so he had to be in good shape.
The city wall was so high, and he felt embarrassed to ask Lu Yi to carry him in public; it would be too tiring to climb it down.
"Go by yourself," Tang Bufan said to Lu Yi next door. "I'll wait for you in the room. Don't miss lunch."
"No, I'm just taking a look around. I heard there are cannons inside."
Tang Bufan became curious about what he said, but still didn't go. Instead, Wan Bing went with Lu Yi.
