CHAPTER 103: CHAPTER 103: HAPPY NEW YEAR

Xi Han kneeled in front of her, holding her hand, fingers interlocked, "Hmm, I’m not drunk."

Zhe Ye saw that she was indeed reasonably sober, and advised, "It’s getting late, you should head back to your room and rest."

Ruan Li nodded, gathered the gifts she received from the New Year’s Eve.

As she stood up, she felt a bit dizzy and fell back onto the sofa, bouncing twice, but resolutely clutching her gifts.

Zhe Ye seeing her like this, asked, "Do you want to carry them back to your room?"

Ruan Li, hugging the gifts like protecting a cub, looked at Zhe Ye with a naïve yet wary face, and stubbornly said, "Not for you, they’re all mine."

Zhe Ye was speechless for a moment, and helplessly said, "No one’s snatching them from you."

Bai He said, "Ruannuan, I’ll help you carry your things back to your room."

Ruan Li pursed her lips, her moist eyes landed on Bai He, as if contemplating his reliability.

She nodded heavily twice, "Alright, Bai He, help me take them up."

Zhe Ye’s temple throbbed seeing this, it seemed that in Ruan Li’s heart, Bai He was more reliable than him.

Back in the room on the third floor, Ruan Li sat by the bed, watching Bai He put the gifts into the wardrobe, only then did she lie back comfortably.

The soft princess bed instantly bounced twice very elastically, Ruan Li rolled around twice, ending up in the center of the bed and went to sleep satisfied.

The few men at the door exchanged glances.

Obviously, no one wanted to sleep alone on a cold bed on the first day of the New Year.

A little fox gracefully leapt up onto the bed in a few steps, found a comfortable position next to her soft pillow, and fell asleep.

A wolf and a lion also shrunk to juvenile form, curled up onto the bed, pressing the quilt tightly.

Xi Han gazed speechlessly at his own legs, climbed onto the bed, and squeezed into a seam, lying on top of Ruan Li.

Bai Ci glanced at his brother, transformed into beast shape, squatting at the foot of the bed.

After all, he still didn’t have an official status.

Bai He leaned at Ruan Li’s leg.

The sound of fireworks erupted intermittently from outside.

The curtains were drawn open, vibrant fireworks blossomed cluster after cluster in the night sky.

Ruan Li lifted her eyelids slightly, gazing out the window, addressing the room of beastmen, "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

――

"Little Li, it’s your birthday the day after tomorrow, come over for lunch," Su Luoyin’s voice came from the Smart Brain.

In the video, a pair of slender hands pinched a plump cherry and offered it to Ruan Li’s mouth, she took a bite, "Sure, Mom, what birthday gift did you prepare for me?"

Su Luoyin smiled mysteriously, "I won’t tell you yet, but I know Mu Feng prepared a holiday planet for you, Mu Ji’s gift is a bit unusual, you surely haven’t seen it, Mu Yu’s is rather girlish..."

"Mother!"

A voice suddenly came from the other end of the call, helplessly stopping Su Luoyin from continuing to divulge more.

Su Luoyin covered her mouth and laughed, "Alright, Little Li, mother can’t continue, lest someone’s angry glare devours me."

After the call ended, Xi Han embraced Ruan Li’s waist, his entire upper body leaning on her shoulder, "Ruannuan, today it’s just you and me at home."

He lifted his blue lashes, with icy blue eyes sparkling with waves.

Indeed, Zhe Ye took on a mission to Star A, the Lost Star System recently turbulent, Shi Jue was sent to command, Bai He and Bai Ci went to M Star, leaving just the two of them at home.

And an annoying fox.

Xi Han kicked the tactless fox to the corner, hugging Ruan Li lovingly.

"Wait, wait, let’s go back to the room." She tugged on Xi Han’s seaweed-like blue hair, her face red, begging him to stop.

Petal marks like falling blossoms bloomed, Xi Han refused to let go.

"No way, Xu Mo seems like, he’s watching..." Ruan Li turned her head and saw those burning red eyes staring at them.

Xi Han followed her gaze, looking at the peeping fox, he curled his lips into a cold smile, "Might as well throw him outside."

Ruan Li tugged at his face, "You can’t."

Xi Han snorted, lifted Ruan Li with one arm, "Then let’s go back to the room."

Out of sight, out of mind.

Ding dong –

The doorbell rang outside, the fox lying on the floor shook his fur and stood up, he leapt to the control panel by the door and answered the call.

"Miss Ruan, your package has arrived, please come out to sign for it."

The little fox stared at the monitor for a few moments, ignoring it.

The package was left at the door.

Xi Han was on his way downstairs to get water, the little fox on the bed lightly lifted his eyelids, the tip of his nose filled with a strong feminine scent, and a tinge of tuberose.

He covered his nose with his paw.

Xi Han was about to head upstairs with water, seeing him like this, he changed direction and walked towards him.

The fox sat up, innocently licking his paw.

Xi Han squinted his eyes slightly, lowered his voice, "I wonder how long you can keep pretending... Just because the little female trusts you doesn’t mean we do."

The little fox, who was initially licking his fur, put down his paw, his slanted eyes squinted.

He revealed an expression different from the one he faked before the little female, his red eyes gradually deepened, a chilly gleam appeared.

Only to see Xi Han raise his hand, transforming it into a claw and slashing through the air, the little fox agilely leapt, directly dodging the range of his attack.

The originally smooth panel instantly had four deep gouges carved by the claw.

It was imaginable that if it hit the body, it might directly strip flesh to the bone.

Seeing that he was no longer even pretending, Xi Han gathered superpower in his palm and charged at the little fox.

Ice and fire collided, creating a massive mist, reducing visibility in the living room.

Xi Han’s ears twitched slightly, hearing the subtle sounds in the air, dodged the fox’s attack by turning his head.

The little fox, originally the size of a cushion, at this moment became so huge that it made the entire living room appear very cramped.

It was clear that Xi Han did not wish to damage the house, he opened the door, one blue one red bolted out consecutively, smoke rose suddenly in the courtyard.

Ruan Li, thirsty not seeing Xi Han for a long time, wearing pajamas came downstairs.

She held the railing, almost slipping on the water vapor on the floor.

No...did the house suffer a flood?

Even the floor had a thin layer of ice.

"Xi Han?" Ruan Li called a few times, never heard a second person’s voice.

The house was suddenly terribly quiet.

She slowly withdrew the leg she was about to step down with.

Suddenly felt not so thirsty.

Ruan Li retreated to her room, but suddenly bumped into someone behind her.

"Hi, what a coincidence."

A woman greeted with a bright smile, her expression harmless.

Ruan Li recognized her instantly...

But before she could speak, her body fell uncontrollably.

Ze cradled the little female in his arms.

"Keep her safe, if a single hair is missing, I’ll dismantle your parts," Lan Ruo said with a cheerful smile, but her tone was eerie.

Ze held the female in his arms silently.

"What a pleasant new year indeed."

And the two fighting intensely outside obviously didn’t realize their home got burgled in time.

Xu Mo’s originally fierce attack suddenly paused, he glanced at Xi Han, transformed into human form and cursed, "Idiot, the little female’s been taken away."
