Kiyomi Tsuki et son renard

Chapitre 48

When Fu Jin saw Li Yu, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a thud and shattered into several pieces. Tea spilled all over him, but he didn't care about his disheveled appearance. He stood up abruptly in excitement and surprise.

Nalan looked up at the sound, a mocking smile still playing on his lips as he looked at Fu Jin's disheveled state. But the person he saw was indeed incredibly beautiful, so beautiful that no one would believe it was a man. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even he wouldn't have believed it…

Seeing the stunned crowd in front of her, Xi Ri immediately wanted to turn around and change her clothes, but unexpectedly, Fu Jin suddenly rushed up from behind and blocked her way, shouting, "Yu Di, where are you going?"

Xi Ri coldly said, "Have you all seen enough? I'm going to change out of this women's clothing that I hate!"

Fu Jin seemed not to hear her words, his gaze fixed intently on Xi Ri... then he murmured in realization, "What's padded here?"

"What?" Xi Ri looked at Fu Jin in confusion when suddenly, a pair of sharp claws reached for her chest...

×××

Thank you all for your support and encouragement, I didn't mind.

I'm not feeling well yet, and if I don't get better soon, I'll have to take another day off tomorrow to go to the hospital.

This is a prank! A prank! Keep the prank going! Hehe~~

Tonight I'm sleepless

Seeing Fu Jin's demonic claws reaching for her, Xi Ri was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. She hurriedly retreated, and just then, Granny Wan suddenly stepped in front of her, so Fu Jin's grab landed squarely on Granny Wan's chest.

Everything seemed to be just right. Just as Fu Jin grabbed Granny Wan's breasts, Granny Wan's body went limp, and she said in a soft voice, "Young Master, it feels so good," accompanied by a soft moan.

Xi Ri felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this, and goosebumps immediately rose all over her body.

Fu Jin immediately withdrew his hand and even shook it off without any politeness.

Granny Wan straightened up, waved her fragrant handkerchief, and slapped it directly at Fu Jin's face. Fu Jin hurriedly dodged, and Granny Wan said with a fawning smile, "Master Jin, look at you, are you disgusted that I'm too old?"

Fu Jin was dodging Wan Mama's approaching body and the handkerchiefs waving in the air when he heard Li Yu say coldly, "Brother Jin, you're looking down on me. You really think I'm one of those male entertainers? I'm leaving right now!"

Seeing Li Yu's displeased expression and his turning to leave, Fu Jin anxiously called out, "Brother Yu..."

By this time, Minglu and Nalan had recovered from their shock.

Nalan stood up and blocked Xiri's way, and said with a smile, "Brother Yu, don't be angry. Fu Jin was just confused for a moment. Your appearance is really beautiful, even surpassing many noble ladies. Even Tian Xiri, the most beautiful woman in the capital who looks like you, is probably inferior to you. Your appearance really shocked us. Brother Yu, don't blame Fu Jin for losing his composure for a moment."

Minglu also stood up and walked towards Li Yu step by step. With each step closer, he felt that Li Yu in women's clothing did not resemble Tian Xiri very much. Although they looked somewhat alike, Tian Xiri, while beautiful, lacked Li Yu's charm and instead appeared pretentious and affected. Her temperament alone could not compare to Li Yu's; Li Yu possessed an innate nobility, while Tian Xiri was simply vulgar.

Looking closely at Li Yu, she still carried a hint of resentment, her expression revealing defensiveness and sharpness. This made Li Yu appear somewhat vulnerable, yet all the more charming, and even more capable of igniting a man's desire to conquer. It was certain that Zhang Guiyi would not let her go.

Minglu became even more convinced that as long as Li Yu was there, they would definitely be able to lure Zhang Guiyi out this time.

Minglu rebuked, "Fu Jin, Yu Di is our brother. He sacrificed himself by disguising himself as a woman to help us wipe out the bandits. If you anger Yu Di and make him run away, then you will be responsible for disguising yourself as a woman to lure out Zhang Guiyi!"

“Me?” Fu Jinmeng shook his head.

Xi Ri said, "If Brother Jin were to wear this women's clothing, he would surely be a beauty that could topple kingdoms. Why don't you try it on, Brother Jin? Then you'll know what's padded here."

Upon hearing Xi Ri's words, Fu Jin's expression changed slightly. He immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xi Ri and said, "Brother Yu, I lost my composure for a moment. I'm sorry for what I just said."

Seeing Fu Jin apologize, Xi Ri frowned slightly and said, "This women's clothing is in the way, I'll go change." After saying that, she turned and walked towards the inner room, and this time, no one stopped her.

But behind her followed three pairs of infatuated, reluctant, and resentful eyes, which Granny Wan found amusing.

Granny Wan bent down and said, "I'll go help Young Master Li remove his makeup." But she saw that the three men were still staring blankly in the direction Li Yu had left, and they didn't hear her at all. Helpless, she had no choice but to follow them.

After what had just happened, when Xiri reappeared in front of everyone dressed as a man, everyone had a strange expression.

Xi Ri took his leave, but Ming Lu persuaded him to stay, saying, "Brother Yu, please stay at my residence tonight. We will be setting off before dawn tomorrow, so please don't go back tonight."

Just as Xi Ri was about to make an excuse, Nalan said, "Fu Jin and I will also stay here tonight. Brother Yu, please don't delay. Let's go over the details of our mission. Everyone should get some rest tonight, as we need to get up early to travel tomorrow."

Minglu said to Granny Wan, "Granny Wan, you go first. Go to the accounting office to get the money."

Granny Wan curtsied in response, but without glancing at Xiri, she gracefully departed.

Watching Granny Wan leave, Xi Ri remained silent. At that moment, she hadn't expected Granny Wan to stand up for her. Was it for Long Ming? And what was Long Ming's motivation? Could it be... her? Thinking of this, a sweet feeling she had never experienced before suddenly began to spread in her heart.

Although Long Ming is despicable, narcissistic, arrogant, and conceited to death, it must be said that he always helps her in her most critical moments. Without Long Ming, she would not be where she is today.

Fine, she's made up her mind!

From now on, she will tolerate whatever Long Ming says! She will resolutely stop using violence against him, especially hitting his self-proclaimed incomparable face with her embroidered shoes.

Thinking of the embroidered shoes, thinking of Longming, Xiri unconsciously... smiled.

Fu Jin kept his eyes on Li Yu. He was both angry because of his own recklessness and because Li Yu had been angry in front of them for the first time. He was conflicted, but he couldn't take his eyes off Li Yu. He even subconsciously looked at Li Yu's chest, only to find it flat. He tightened his grip slightly, feeling a little disappointed that he hadn't managed to grab it.

Fu Jin was not the only one who stared silently at Li Yu.

Minglu stared at Li Yu, equally lost in thought. And, at Li Yu's unconscious smile, he couldn't help but feel his heart flutter again. A torrent of contradictions surged within him, a fierce internal struggle: he kept telling himself, he was Li Yu, even though he damnably resembled Tian Xiri seven-tenths, he was a man, a genuine man; even though he damnably looked more feminine than a woman, he was Yu-di, their friend; even though he damnably stirred his heart…

Nalan, however, fell into deep thought upon seeing Minglu and Fu Jin's focused gaze upon Li Yu. Li Yu truly possessed the qualities to be the most handsome man in the world; a single moment of contemplation, a single smile, exuded endless charm, making it difficult for either man or woman not to be captivated. Even he couldn't resist looking at Li Yu before him.

Even Lady Ru, who was a little further away from them, was so captivated by Li Yu that she lost herself in his gaze.

A man so beautiful, I don't know if it's a sin or a blessing from heaven.

They finally managed to control themselves, and Xi Ri returned to normal.

Minglu showed Xiri a portrait of Zhang Guiyi, and the group then discussed in detail any possible scenarios and how to deal with them. They didn't disperse until it was completely dark.

Xi Ri, Fu Jin, and Na Lan were each assigned a place to stay, but Xi Ri's place this time was different from the last time.

This time, Xi Ri's accommodation was quite far from the guest rooms where Fu Jin and Na Lan were staying, but very close to where Ming Lu was staying. Although this was somewhat inappropriate, Xi Ri was worried that Fu Jin wouldn't be able to resist bothering her again at night, so this arrangement made her feel somewhat at ease, and she accepted it without hesitation. In any case, Ming Lu was more rational than Fu Jin.
