Chapter 90: 4.27 Third Blue Star - Homeless

It's been three days since Xie Ye started living in Gui Lan's Manor. No one cared about him, just the fact that his name is written on the documents that he is one of the co-owners of this land, Xie Ye was even able to enter the manor without the key codes from Gui Lan. His biometrics are recorded as the owner of the house. SID Headquarters. Office of the Chief. Xie Ye comes over to check the progress on Yi Zheng and Li Xing's side. While Li Xing is interrogating his twin brother with an esper who could influence one's will, Yi Zheng and Xie Ye are in the office waiting for him. The chief is currently buried under his work while peeking at his big brother sitting on the customized couch, which Gui Lan usually occupies. He looks at Xie Ye in a state of doubt. Yi Zheng's Thoughts: 'What's wrong with dage? Why is he folding the couch cover so carefully as if it's an invaluable object!? That blanket is only a few dollars worth, a cotton couch cover bought by Hei Lan in a night market. Urgent help! On the other hand, Xie Ye's thoughts were those of a worried husband. 'The texture of this couch cover is not good for Lan'er's sensitive skin. He'll get rashes. The pillow is not big enough and is not soft at all. Let's bring these home and bring a replacement tomorrow.' Thoughts of Xie Ye. Then, as if remembering something, Xie, Ye, who ho just finished folding the blanket and pillow, looked at Yi Zheng after placing the two things on his lap like it's a treasure. Suddenly seeing Xie Ye looking at him, Yi Zheng's heart almost exploded in fear, though his face remained neutral as always. Getting stared at. Thump. Thump. Thump. 'Damn! Did I do something wrong again!? I don't remember doing something wrong! Wuwu~ Someone save me! Xing'er, please return soon. Your husband is about to get killed.' Yi Zheng's inner thoughts. "A'Yi." calls Xie Ye. "Y-Yes, Dage!" replied instantly Yi Zheng. Xie Ye spoke, "You remembered the last time you went to Lan'er's house, right?" "L-Lan'er? [Ah~ Dage must be talking about Gui Lan.] No, oh, I haven't gone to the Gui Clan's Mansion lately except when Dage is there," replied Yi Zheng. Xie Ye responded. "I'm talking about Hei Lan's Manor. That day, you have to borrow clothes from Lan'er because you've played with the mud together with that man called Li Guang." Yi Zheng suddenly remembered the scene of being tackled on the muddy ground by that scheming guy, Li Guang, and frowned upon recollection. "That... I remember." "Good. Return to me the shirt and pants you borrowed that time. I'll give you a week. Be sure to look for it. Else, I would destroy your little den if you don't return my clothes," said Xie Ye. Yi Zheng's face paled when he heard that his house might get destroyed because of clothes. "Eh? Why? Didn't Sir Hei say that the owner would mind losing a few shirts and pants?" Xie Ye frowned and replied, "I mind! Return those clothes to me. You have this week to look for it or else..." Lan'er bought those clothes for me! Why would I allow someone else to wear it? It's mine alone! Yi Zheng immediately agreed to it despite his confusion. After all, looking at Xie Ye's dark face, he knew that the latter wasn't joking about destroying his house. "I will look for it! As soon as possible!" Wuwuwu~ since when did those clothes become yours!? I'm so confused, but more scared now. Xie Ye responded. "Go clean up the Li Family by tonight." Yi Zheng could only watch Xie Ye leave his office carrying the couch cover and pillow Hei Lan used to utilize. Coincidentally, Li Xing returns at that moment and bumps into Xie Y, who is on his way to leave. They bumped each other at the door. "Xie-ge, you're going home early today?" asked Li Xing. "Yes. Busy with something. The plan was finalized, and it will be done in 3 days from now. Be prepared and clean up the rest,t." said Xie Ye. "Yes, Xie-ge! We will get everything under control before the final raid," replied Li Xing as his eyes noticed the familiar-looking pillow and blanket in Xie Ye's hands. Those are Hei Lan's things. Why is Xie Ye taking them with him? "That's good. I'll go now," said Xie Ye, who left at once after he finished saying those words. "Okay?" responded Li Xing, but still bewildered. As soon as Xie Ye left Li Xing to his lover to clear the question in his mind. "A'Zhe why is Xie-ge bringing Sir Hei's things with him?" asked Li Xing. Yi Zheng didn't reply immediately; instead, he was covered in a gloomy aura that Li Xing failed to notice. "I don't know," whispered Yi Zheng as he replied to his lover's question. Li Xing, who couldn't hear his voice because it was too quiet. "What?" Yi Zheng suddenly hugs Li Xing around his waist. "Wuwuwu~ Xing'er save me! I will be homeless because of a pair of shirt and pants~" "Huh? What are you talking about?" asked Li Xing. Yi Zheng replied, "IT'S DAGE. HE SAID HE WILL DESTROY MY HOUSE IF I DON'T RETURN THAT PAIR OF SHIRT AND PANTS!" "Hey! Can't you tell me the whole story!? I don't understand anything, A'Zhe," responded Li Xing. Yi Zheng could only tell Li Xing everything while in tears. ------ Evening. Gui Clan's Main Mansion. By the grid space near the huge window of the place, a young, beautiful man with raven hair and sapphire eyes was sitting. Looking at the scenery outside the window. The huge moon in the night sky was the only light in the darkness of that empty room where this young man stayed. This person was looking at the distant horizon beyond his line of sight. This drop-dead gorgeous young man is none other than Gui Lan in his Hei Lan's appearance. "Yue, how are the protagonists doing?" asked Gui Lan [Reporting to the host. Under the leadership of the Protagonist Gong, Yi Zheng, and Protagonist Shou, Li Xing, they captured Li Guang last night. After leaving him with their foster parents, they are now planning to capture the whole Li Family.] Gui Lan's face is devoid of expression while listening to his system's report. He then asked, "I see. How is that man then?" Gui Lan was asking about his lover. After his identity as the Reaper was exposed by the host, he helped with the preparations for the large raid against the syndicate. When the schedule for the raid had been finalized this afternoon, he came over to the library looking for Yun Li to ask where the host location is. Since the host's location is unknown, I instead visited the little manor the host owned on the Institute's land. The villain is currently in your manor's master bedroom.] "Pfft~ let's continue to leave him hanging there for a few days. He dares ignore me and reject me in such a way! Not only did he not recognize me, but he even chose to disregard me." But, host, isn't he just trying to be loyal to his love for you? It's because he thought that Hei Lan was another person; he chose Gui Lan over everything.] "So what? It is his fault for not noticing it was me. I've left him too many hints, and among that little group, only recognizes me." [But the host changing his temperament completely is to blame.] "What are you talking about, YI? Hating boredom, the crazy me, and having a personality disorder is the real me. I showed that to them when they were children." According to the memories, you didn't. The host only acted like a well-behaved genius and a little beauty, who acts mature despite his young age. Moreover, the Hei La, the host,s t portrays is like a seductress mythical fox with slight similarities to your persona when you were in your childhood. Normally, only the very observant Yun Li, who likes to watch you in silence, recognizes the host.] "Now that you've said it, I restrained my temper in fear of scaring the young version of my husband. Well,l since it is like this, I will visit him later after talking tmy o father. For now, go observe that destroyer for me. Don't get caught,t okay?" I will not let myself get caught. Don't worry, host.] "Good. You can go ahead, Yue." [I will return soon, host.] System Yue left to complete the task his host had given him. After separating from his host for a while, Yue didn't notice that a pair of argent orbs was observing him hiddenly from behind. Seeing his system take his leave, Gui Lan suddenly disappears from the grids of the window. No one notices his departure. ------ Psyche Institute The manor behind the Institute. Master's Bedroom. The lights inside the room were dimmed only a dull lampshade by the side of the bed was lit. On the other side of the bed is a side table with an uncorked red wine and a half-filled glass of wine. On the huge king-sized bed at the center of the room is a man in his black pajamas sleeping deeply. Only the small sound of his breathing can be heard. The person in his slumber is Xie Ye. He had Hades-black eyebrows affixed to an aesthetic face. An imperial nose, angular cheekbones on a taut skin, and a sharp jaw that was obdurate and unyielding. He had Corinthian shoulders above a six-pack stomach on a Greek god's body. His body proportion is close to perfection, his muscles were firm and muscular, but it didn't look bulky, instead hale and Heartyy. This man looks like the most perfect being in this world. A shadow hovers above Xie Ye's head, and as a cautious man, he never lets his guard down even in his sleep. Feeling another person's presence over him, Xie Ye instantly opened his eyes, revealing a fierce touch on those vermilion irises. In that split second, he was able to grab the presence above him and pull it onto the bed. Caging the person below him, he was able to retaliate against the person when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. "Ouch! You've dislocated my shoulder! Hurts~ Wuwuwu~" said Gui Lan, who had tears in his eyes as he couldn't move his right shoulder, which Xie Ye pulled just now. Xie Ye was shocked speechless upon seeing Hei Lan before him. Could feel his sight swirling before him. At the beginning, it was Hei Lan's face, and slowly it turned to Gui Lan's features. Obsidian hair turning to aquamarine and sapphire eyes swivels to beryl. But that tempting presence of Hei Lan remains, though the person's whole appearance changes before him. At first, TieYe thought it was a dream. In the last 15 years of his life, he could imagine this mature Gui Lan in his fantasy. His voice quivers and is hoarse as he calls for the name he was yearning for all this time. "Lan'er?" calls Xie Ye as he stares intently at the beautiful being under him. His eyes are red in strain as he doesn't want to blink, afraid that this realistic imagination of his would fade. Xie Ye could only pull the latter in his embrace to a tighter hug as if he wanted to chain the person to himself.
