Chapter 183: "Ice Xi" Falls in Love

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: "Ice Xi" Falls in Love

Was this still the same "Ice Xi" who wore a cold expression all day long?!

If anyone saw Yan Luoxi looking so shy and bashful, their jaws would drop in shock!

Forget outsiders—even her own parents had never seen her like this.

If Roy were here, she would definitely shout, "Ice Xi, you’re done for! You’ve fallen in love!"

...

After a while, Yan Luoxi’s heart finally began to settle.

The pink flush on her skin slowly faded.

Yan Luoxi realized her cold seemed to be almost gone.

Her throat no longer felt as sore as before.

’Looks like the pear and pork lung stew that jerk mentioned really works!’

Yan Luoxi thought in surprise.

"I wonder where that jerk found this home remedy. It actually works," Yan Luoxi muttered under her breath.

Shaking her head, she didn’t linger in bed. She got up, found some of Gu Yizhou’s clothes to put on, and returned to her own apartment, Room 306, next door.

After quickly washing up and applying some light makeup, she grabbed the jerk’s clothes and went back to Room 305.

First, she put the clothes back where she found them. After a moment’s thought, she grabbed a trash bag, went to the balcony, and poured some of the cat food into it. She also poured some water into the litter box.

She did all this because she was worried that when Gu Yizhou got back, he’d see she hadn’t eaten or drunk anything, assume she was sick, and take her to the vet for a shot.

Before, she used to run off all the time, so Gu Yizhou never paid much attention.

But not anymore.

She’d noticed that ever since she disappeared for two days and then got sick, that jerk had started checking her food and water every day.

’I can’t let that jerk drag me to the vet for a shot over a little detail like this!’

After finishing all this, Yan Luoxi finally left the jerk’s apartment, taking the trash bag with her.

「10:30 AM.」

Yan Luoxi was already back at the office.

But she couldn’t seem to focus.

It couldn’t be helped. Her mind was completely filled with images of that jerk.

Especially when she thought about her dream from last night and how that jerk had kissed her belly again this morning, she couldn’t stop her imagination from running wild.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

Immediately after, the office door was pushed open.

"Xixi, I have an urgent document that needs your signature."

Roy walked in, holding a file.

The voice snapped Yan Luoxi out of her daze.

"Oh, bring it over," she said, schooling her expression.

But a faint, lingering blush had yet to fade from her cheeks.

"Hm?"

Just then, Roy noticed something was off.

"Wait a minute!"

"Xixi, something’s off with you!"

She looked Luoxi up and down, her expression suspicious.

"Huh?"

Luoxi paused, looking baffled. "What’s wrong?"

"Xixi, were you just doing something... naughty in your office?" Roy asked tentatively.

’Something naughty?’

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi frowned slightly.

She didn’t quite understand what Roy was saying.

"What do you mean, ’naughty’? What are you talking about?" Yan Luoxi asked, looking at her.

"Er... well..."

Roy thought for a moment, then leaned in and whispered, "It’s just... you weren’t just... taking care of yourself in here, were you?"

?????

’What the hell?’

Yan Luoxi was now even more confused.

It couldn’t be helped. Being as innocent as she was, how could she possibly understand the lingo of a pro like Roy?

"No."

Yan Luoxi replied curtly.

Without giving her another glance, she picked up the file from her desk and began to read it.

"No?"

Seeing Luoxi ignoring her, Roy frowned and muttered to herself, "That can’t be right. Her face is so red. That’s clearly the satisfied flush of a good... afterglow!"

Her voice was so low that Yan Luoxi didn’t hear her clearly.

Otherwise, she would have thrown her out on the spot!

’Taking care of myself, honestly...’

’The nerve!’

’What a perv!’

...

「A few minutes later.」

"Done."

After reviewing the file and seeing no issues, Yan Luoxi signed it and handed it back.

"Oh, right."

Roy snapped out of her thoughts and took the file.

"Hm?"

Seeing that she wasn’t leaving, Luoxi asked with some confusion, "Didn’t you say this was urgent? Why are you still here?"

"Er... it is, but a few more moments won’t kill me."

Roy hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Hey, Xixi, can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?"

Yan Luoxi replied casually.

"It’s... it’s just..."

Roy started, then stopped. "Um, Xixi... promise you won’t get mad?"

"Hm?"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but frown.

She put down her pen, looked up at her best friend, and said, "Just say it."

"Well... it’s nothing, really. I’m just a little curious."

Roy thought for a moment, then leaned close to Luoxi and whispered, "Um... have you and that jerk of yours... you know... done it?"

?

Luoxi looked utterly blank.

’What does she mean, have I and that jerk "done it"?’

For a moment, she couldn’t understand what her best friend was talking about.

"What do you mean?" Yan Luoxi asked, looking at Roy.

"Oh, come on~"

Roy said with a suggestive grin, "You know... ’that’!"

’What the hell?’

Yan Luoxi still didn’t get it.

’Why is she being so weird today?’

Roy: "..."

Seeing Luoxi’s completely baffled expression, Roy was speechless.

’She still doesn’t get it?’

’This "Ice Xi" is way too innocent!’

So, she raised her two thumbs, made a gesture with them, and said, "This!"

?

For a moment, Yan Luoxi didn’t react.

But when she saw the suggestive look on Roy’s face and the gesture she was making with her thumbs, she instantly understood!

WHOOSH.

Yan Luoxi’s face instantly turned beet red.

Seeing her blush, Roy knew she had finally gotten the message.

So she asked with a cheeky grin, "So, Xixi, have you and that jerk of yours done it?"

Yan Luoxi: "..."

’Ugh!’

’She’s impossible!’

’That wretched girl!’

’What kind of person does she think I am?!’

"No!"

Yan Luoxi shot her a glare, her tone sharp.

"Er... no?"

Hearing this, Roy paused, saying with disbelief, "No way."

After all, Luoxi had been unreachable every single night lately. She had to be with that "jerk" of hers.

A single man and a single woman, a tinderbox waiting for a spark!

With a total knockout like Luoxi right there in front of him, how could he not make a move?

How could that "jerk" possibly resist?

Seeing Roy’s disbelieving expression, Yan Luoxi’s face darkened.

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

she said icily.

Roy: "...(⊙o⊙)..."
