102: Chapter 102 What do you say, Master?

Three minutes left.

It was almost ten o'clock at night.

Fang Xun stood in front of his own door. He had never heard of having to feel anxious just to return home.

This even reminded Fang Xun of his previous life.

The sight of him lingering at the doorstep with a failing test paper.

To enter or not to enter, that was the question.

But no matter what, time would not wait for anyone.

Finally, Fang Xun made up his mind and inserted the key into the lock.

Click.

The crisp sound of the metal mechanism engaging.

Creeeeak—

The door opened.

A beam of light shone out from the crack in the door, illuminating Fang Xun's slightly nervous Face.

The lights inside the house were still on; Jiang Qin had not gone to rest yet.

Corresponding to that light was the sound emanating from the living room television.

Watching TV?

Fang Xun bent over, carefully holding the large door, trying his best not to let it make too much noise as it opened.

He carefully squeezed his body through the opened gap in the door.

First one leg, then one arm, half his body, and then Fang Xun's head.

...

...

"Hey..."

Looking at the gazes of everyone in the living room, Fang Xun let out an awkward yet polite sound.

"Fang Xun, what kind of pose is that?"

Lu Li almost burst out laughing when she saw the way Fang Xun entered.

Fang Xun currently looked like a cockroach clinging to the door, truly a bit foolish.

"Cough, nothing."

Fang Xun coughed dryly and pulled himself fully into the room.

The four people in the room watched Fang Xun's movements without blinking.

Tang Xiaotang was watching for entertainment.

Jiang Qin pursed her lips, clearly a bit angry.

Lu Li wanted to laugh, but seeing that the people beside her weren't laughing, she felt too embarrassed to laugh herself.

As for Uesugi Akemi, she was simply stunned.

Was the Fang Xun now truly the same person as the one she had met before?

Great Goddess Amaterasu, she would rather believe that the Fang Xun she was seeing was an imposter.

It had to be said that Fang Xun's image in Uesugi Akemi's eyes had been elevated.

She subconsciously erased some of Fang Xun's embarrassing behaviors.

What remained was the mighty image of him blasting the Cursed Dragon with one punch.

Especially the Disaster Beast turmoil that day, which had infinitely elevated this image.

"Brother, did you have fun with Lian Lian?"

Jiang Qin spoke first.

The two of them went out to play, they must have been very happy, right?

Moreover, they managed to play for so long; what exactly did they play to keep them busy for so long?

It was truly hard to guess.

"No, nothing much. We just went rowing."

Fang Xun raised his hand. He truly hadn't done much; it was just rowing.

They rowed for most of the day.

"Rowing is so fun!"

Tang Xiaotang chimed in.

It's not like she hadn't rowed before; it was incredibly boring.

"Are you in love?"

Lu Li was concise.

"Oh my."

Hearing Lu Li say that, Fang Xun actually became embarrassed.

Hearing Lu Li's question, Jiang Qin, who had been somewhat angry moments ago, didn't have time to be angry anymore.

She immediately stared at Fang Xun, waiting to see what her brother would say.

But Fang Xun really didn't know what to say.

Qi Lian didn't want to be a girlfriend... She wanted to be something else...

So, no relationship had actually been confirmed yet.

And Qi Lian's... situation was a bit special...

It was truly bizarre, leaving Fang Xun unsure how to bring it up.

"Uh, I'm tired from playing. I'm going to sleep now. Good night, comrades."

As Fang Xun spoke, he fled in disarray.

He ran back to his room with pattering steps, leaving the others looking at each other in confusion.

...

...

At this moment, Fang Xun in his room was unwilling to think about anything else.

He opened his phone, and sure enough, there was a message from Qi Lian.

'Brother, good night.'

'Okay.'

Fang Xun quickly replied, even sending a few good night emojis.

Immediately after, he turned on the air conditioner, wrapped himself in the quilt.

Sleep.

Tonight, he was determined to have a beautiful dream.

...

...

The next day.

When a person truly wants to sleep, time indeed passes quickly.

Fang Xun closed his eyes and opened them, and the day had already dawned.

He casually glanced at the time; it was already ten in the morning.

He had slept exceptionally soundly.

Fang Xun felt a bit relieved now. It was a good thing there were many people at home yesterday.

Otherwise, his sister would have severely lectured him.

Jiang Qin could have lectured him for half an hour.

However, although he escaped a reckoning yesterday, Fang Xun didn't know if the matter was truly over or not.

After all, there were many people yesterday; Jiang Qin would have to give her brother Face, right?

Fang Xun tidied himself up slightly, put on his clothes, and then walked out with a slightly uneasy heart.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard the television blaring.

Fang Xun peeked in.

"Hey, why are you two here?"

"What, we're not allowed to be here?"

Lu Li raised an eyebrow at Fang Xun.

Making it seem like she was some kind of contaminant.

"No, that's not it."

Fang Xun looked at Uesugi Akemi, then at Lu Li.

What was the relationship between these two? How did they end up together?

Fang Xun only knew Uesugi Akemi was from Sakurajima, but he didn't know her background.

"What is your relationship?"

"Oh my."

Hearing Fang Xun ask that, Lu Li actually found it amusing.

"What relationship could it be~

Master, what do you think?"

Fang Xun: "?"
