‘Sigh’

Lan Yiyan blankly stares at Yin Yu for a while and let out a sigh which lessens her anger by a little bit. After some pondering, Lan Yiyan figured out that she has let anger overwhelm her as the tea Yin Yu spit out which reminds her of her past where her aunt throws a kettle of hot water toward her and laugh at her who scream in pain because of it.

That memory makes her desire for revenge grow, but, her anger lessened by a bit after she saw how Yin Yu take back the water as she knows Yin Yu didn’t mean it at all and it’s merely an accident. Even so, the next action Yin Yu take triggered her anger once again and makes her want to beat him up badly! Yet looking at Yin Yu who closes his eyes while waiting for her to beat him up without raising any defense, she can’t help but feel her anger lessened by a tiny bit again, which make her settle with only a chop on the head.

Lan Yiyan also feel slight anger because Yin Yu dare to lie about a blatant lie to her which result in her slamming the table as hard as she can and let out her anger at him, but, seeing how Yin Yu confidently and proudly announced himself as a boy with an eyes devoid of lies, she can’t help but feel that talking Yin Yu out of this is a waste of time.

“Alright, alright. You win; you’re a boy, happy now?”

“It’s good that you’re quick to understand! And…” Yin Yu feel delighted after he heard her recognize him as a boy, even so, Yin Yu didn’t drown in delight for long and said. “I’m sorry for accidentally spitting my tea at you!”

“Then, why don’t you apologize soon after you did that?” Lan Yiyan asked with a severe stare which makes Yin Yu awkwardly say.“Y-you know, I-I feel that apologizing is lame and tried to avoid to apologize to you, but I should apologize isn’t it, e-even if it’s lame…as long as it’s my fault, I need to apologize properly right? That’s why…I’M SORRY!” Yin Yu bow his head as low as he can at her after he said that words.

“Pfft…pffhaha..hahaha…”

Lan Yiyan mouth unconsciously formed a smile after she looks at Yin Yu who’s sincerely apologizing to her and soon, Lan Yiyan heartfelt laughter can be heard resounding through the whole mansion. Yin Yu can’t help but felt embarrassed after he heard Lan Yiyan laughter, even so, Yin Yu didn’t lift his head as he hasn’t heard her forgiving him, but most importantly, it’s because he’s too embarrassed to lift his head up!

“What’re you bowing your head for, apologize accepted, Stu-pid.” Lan Yiyan says teasingly.

“Didn’t I say it already that people who call other people stupid are stupid too!?” Yin Yu who heard her words immediately lift his head up and retort her words, while Lan Yiyan starts to laugh even harder when she heard Yin Yu words and cheerfully said.

“Ah, you did, that means I’m stupid too! Hahaha”

“Yeah, you’re stu-”

Yin Yu stop the words he wants to say as he feels that his heart gets charmed by Succubus for a second when he saw Lan Yiyan laugh cheerfully. Yin Yu didn’t know why, but seeing her smile make his heart skip a bit and Yin Yu can feel that Lan Yiyan has become even more beautiful than before when she smiles like that.

“H-Hey, Yu! Why are you crying?”

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

“Eh… Crying? Me? Why would I cry? There’s no way that will hap…”

“…pen”

Lan Yiyan who saw Yin Yu cry immediately got worried and called out to him, while Yin Yu who heard her words laugh it off as a joke at first, but after he touches his eyes, he can feel that his eyes are wet and he can feel that it keeps coming out from his eyes.

“Eh…? What’s happening…?”

Yin Yu tears didn’t stop after he realized that he’s crying, in fact, his tears have started to flow much more than before, even so, Yin Yu can feel it, he can feel that there are no traces of sadness in his tears. Instead, there’s only happiness inside his tears that can’t be described by word alone.

‘Happiness? Why did I feel happy?’

“Yu, are you ok?” Lan Yiyan worriedly say.

“Of course I’m Ok! You see, this is the tear of happiness… yeah, I’m just happy, so no worries…and more importantly…Hoaaam…oh, I get sleepy, let’s go to sleep! We got school tomorrow right.” Yin Yu hurriedly replied and went to the stairs, but Yin Yu suddenly stop on his track even before he reaches the stairs, and ask.

“Eh.., do you know which room is the bedroom?”

“Ah! I just remember the thing I want to discuss with you!”

“The thing you want to discuss?”

“There’s only one bedroom in this mansion, so, how are we going to sleep. Are we going to sleep together or are you going to sleep on the floor?”

“Eh….”

“Eeeeehhhhhhhh!!!!!????”

***

Yin Yu immediately go around the mansion after he heard Lan Yiyan words. There he found Alchemy room, Blacksmithing room, Cultivation room, Library, and other miscellaneous room inside the mansion which is not fit to sleep at and there’s only one bedroom in the whole mansion, with an ultra-size comfy bed which can fit 4 people in one bed, and also a big restroom beside it.

‘What should I do…!?’

‘There’s no way I can ask Lan Yiyan to sleep on the floor as it’s ungentlemanly and there’s no way I am going to sleep on the floor again when such a comfy bed existed before me! I haven’t sleep on the bed for more than 3 months now! which is why I will sleep on the bed even if I need to break some rules!’

‘But…aren’t there a rules saying that it’s improper for an unmarried man and woman to sleep on the same bed?’

‘No…I’m not a man and Lan Yiyan aren’t a woman too…we’re just a boy and a girl! So it must be safe right? It must be safe right?’

‘Wait, but there’s also saying that someone with fiancée mustn’t share the same bed with other boy or girl…, but Lan Yiyan…there’s no way she got some fiancée right? Hmm... I got proposed before too, so maybe…’

“Yiyan, do you have a fiancée?”

“Huh?”

After Yin Yu uttered that question, Lan Yiyan face who shows sign of sleepiness immediately sobered up and darkened up while some pressure starts to appear around her which makes Yin Yu who has gone through some battle can feel the killing intent that she let out toward the word fiancée. It's just a few seconds, but Yin Yu had already felt some pressure coming from her and Lan Yiyan who feel her anger calm herself down which make her expression turned back to normal while she said with some irritation.

“Regrettably, I do have a fiancée…”

"Eh..?"
