CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 108: PLEASE START YOUR PERFORMANCE

"So what?" the Demon asked, flying in front of the Angel. "Among them, not a single one is named Xia Liang."

The angel was speechless.

Seeing the angel was about to speak again, the Demon grew annoyed. He pulled out his pitchfork and stabbed the angel to death.

"You talk too damn much."

Afterward, he turned his gaze back to Su Yi.

"Alright, he’s dead. Now you can only listen to me. Kiss him!"

Gazing at Xia Liang’s handsome face, Su Yi moved in again.

「On the other side」

Xia Liang, who had just been kissed, was baffled.

????

Was I just taken advantage of? Shouldn’t I get my own back?

As he was pondering, Xia Liang noticed the girl approaching him once more.

What the hell? Does she really think I don’t have a temper? Wait! What the hell are you doing? Why are you holding my face...

Two minutes later, her face flushed and her heart pounding, Su Yi contentedly hugged Xia Liang’s arm.

A guy like Xia Liang... he’s handsome and rich, but his personality sucks, so he probably doesn’t have a girlfriend. Does that mean... I just got his first kiss?

At that thought, Su Yi felt absolutely ecstatic.

Meanwhile, Xia Liang, still feigning sleep, was a bit perplexed.

A little slip of a girl just forced a kiss on me? Okay, I didn’t resist, but I didn’t consent either, right? Should I give her a taste of her own medicine? Hmm? Better not. If I did, I might lose a future choice trigger. Anyway, she’ll be mine sooner or later. There’s no need to rush. For now, having Zhou Ruo is enough.

Thinking this, Xia Liang dismissed the idea.

And so, the rest of the night passed without a word. With complicated feelings, they spent a chaste night together.

The next day, as the first rays of dawn pierced through the curtains, a scream echoed through the room.

"Ah! Where am I? Why are you in my bed? What did you do to me?"

One had to admit, women are born actresses. Xia Liang wholeheartedly agreed. She had just woken up and was already putting on a performance. It had even triggered a choice for him.

Su Yi buried her entire face in the blanket, her eyes peeking out to fixate on Xia Liang. In truth, she was afraid she’d burst out laughing and give herself away.

Just when Su Yi thought Xia Liang would have some kind of reaction, he calmly lifted the blanket, revealing his perfectly intact clothes.

"Could you please make your act more convincing next time? You remembered your part, but you forgot about mine."

"Uh..."

Seeing Xia Liang’s calm demeanor, Su Yi was dumbfounded, but she quickly recovered. "What do you mean, ’convincing’?" she said, feigning grievance. "Who knows if you didn’t just put your clothes back on later? *Whimper*... You’re just trying to avoid taking responsibility..."

With that, she buried her head back into the blanket. Xia Liang, however, completely ignored her performance. He simply gave a calm stretch, his joints letting out a series of satisfying cracks. He opened the curtains to let the sunlight flood in before speaking.

"Please try to be quieter next time."

"Uh..."

This time, Su Yi couldn’t keep up the act. She flung off the blanket and stared at Xia Liang in shock. "You weren’t asleep last night?"

"Nope," Xia Liang nodded matter-of-factly. "With all the noise you were making, who could possibly sleep?"

!!!!!!!

"You! You were awake?" Su Yi stammered.

He wasn’t asleep? That means... he knew about me sneaking into his bed, holding his arm while I slept, and even secretly kissing him? He knew all of it?

At that thought, Su Yi’s eyes grew wide, and her face turned crimson. For a girl to be caught red-handed stealing a kiss was one thing, but was there anything more humiliating?

Yes, there was.

She had the audacity to steal a kiss twice! And she’d been giggling like an idiot in his arms! To think she had plotted to tease Xia Liang, only for him to have seen through her as if she were glass.

Oh my god!

For a moment, Su Yi wanted to die.

Seeing her huddled under the covers, Xia Liang gave her no chance to recover. "Alright, since you’re awake, let’s get up and have breakfast. I’d rather you didn’t get a stomachache and blame it on me."

With that, he walked into the bathroom and started freshening up with a disposable toothbrush.

On the bed, watching Xia Liang disappear into the bathroom, Su Yi finally dared to poke her head out. Her hands flew to her face, which was still burning.

"This is so embarrassing!"

After all, she, Su Sannian, was an experienced player herself. She was always the one making others blush, not the other way around. No! I have to pull myself together!

After taking a couple of deep breaths, Su Yi finally regained some composure. She got out of bed and went into the bathroom as well. Xia Liang glanced at her but, this time, didn’t tease her. As Su Yi sighed in relief, she began to wash up.

Twenty minutes later, they both left the room, tacitly agreeing not to mention the previous night’s events. They went to the front desk and found the same young receptionist, who looked a bit sleepy.

"Checking out."

The receptionist rubbed her eyes. "Oh, oh, right." When she realized it was Xia Liang, she instantly perked up. Her eyes instinctively darted to Su Yi, the flames of gossip burning brightly. However, she quickly noticed something was off.

She’s walking normally, and the guy isn’t holding his back. This is impossible! Could it be that what the handsome guy said yesterday was true? They really just came here to sleep?

Despite her burning questions, she could only keep them to herself as she watched the two leave the hotel.

After breakfast, Xia Liang dropped Su Yi off at her home before driving to his villa.

Zhou Ruo had been waiting for a long time. Another bout of passion soon followed.

「Four hours later.」

Since he hadn’t eaten much for breakfast, Xia Liang was feeling a bit hungry. Zhou Ruo personally went into the kitchen and cooked him a bowl of noodles with the ingredients they had at home.

Looking at the abalone, lobster, and other ingredients in the bowl, Xia Liang reflected. Before, he would have praised the meal for its extravagance. Now, however, he was unmoved. He was even considering whether to use his Work Points to exchange for the God-level Cooking Skills.

As he was pondering, he glanced over and saw Zhou Ruo looking hesitant, as if she wanted to say something.

Xia Liang raised an eyebrow. "If you have something to say, just say it."

Zhou Ruo thought for a moment before speaking, a hint of hope in her voice. "Um... tomorrow is my birthday. Darling, do you have time to celebrate with me?"

Hearing this, Xia Liang froze. "Tomorrow? Your birthday?"

"Yes," Zhou Ruo nodded. "Of course, if you don’t have time, it’s okay. I can just celebrate with some of my friends."

Zhou Ruo’s reminder made Xia Liang realize just how neglectful he had been. He couldn’t even remember his own woman’s birthday.

Right, I need to find a chance to ask all of them for their birthdays.

While thinking, Xia Liang didn’t remain idle. He put down his chopsticks and smiled at Zhou Ruo.
