Chapter 413 Acerola, Sit on My Lap
"Glug glug..."
Li Luochen picked up the cup of tea, which had gone cold, tilted his head back, and gulped it down.
When you taste the tea, the rich flavor is still there, but the sweetness has faded, leaving only a faint astringent taste that lingers on your tongue.
He placed the empty teacup aside, the bottom of which tapped softly on the table.
He just sat there, his gaze fixed on the remaining water stains around the rim of the cup, lost in thought.
"How's the situation? Has it been resolved?"
Azure appeared at some point, glanced at the empty cup, then at Li Luochen's expression, her brow twitching slightly. "Do you still need me and Garderia to take the other sisters away?"
Li Luochen shrugged: "No need. This matter is more complicated than I thought."
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't ask any more questions."
Hearing Li Luochen say this, Bilan knew that this matter couldn't be understood in just a few words: "Then I'll go teach Lillie how to raise Eevee."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
"What's with all this talk of trouble between us? Honestly~"
Bilan rested her head on Li Luochen's shoulder and gave him a kiss on the cheek: "I love you."
"What are you thinking this time?"
Li Luochen raised an eyebrow, took out his phone, and showed Bilan his bank account balance: "I only have 37,957.36 left. If you want it, just take it."
"We've shared a bed for so long, and yet in your heart I'm still this greedy wife... Sigh, Luo Chen, you weren't treating me like this just now. Am I just a girl who'll only be nice to you if you pay me?"
Bilan wiped away non-existent tears from her eyes, lowered her head, and pretended to sob a few times.
Her voice was soft and weak, sounding aggrieved, yet it also revealed an obvious falseness.
While sobbing, she secretly glanced at Li Luochen's reaction, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.
"Wow! Is Chenbao bullying Sister Azure?"
Rukia peeked half her head out from behind the wall at some point.
She gripped the corner of the wall with both hands, only her face showing, looking at Bilan's "wronged little wife" appearance, thinking that she should stand up for Bilan.
Chenbao is really something, always bullying his older sister!
It seems like most of the older girls in the dojo are bullied by Chenbao, right?
Rukia felt indignant on behalf of her sisters and puffed out her cheeks.
Looking at Bilan's fake crying, her thoughts suddenly began to wander.
Um.......
If Chenbao really wanted to bully others, he could bully himself too...
The moment that thought popped into her head, Rukia's face flushed red. She quickly pulled her face back behind the wall, leaving only half of her ear showing, which was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.
Waaah... Damn it, why am I thinking like this?
Does that mean Rukia is a bad child?
Wait, speaking of which, why is there no news from Chenbao's side?
Ryukia waited for a while, and all she heard was a quiet silence in the living room; even Azure's fake sobbing had stopped.
She started to have doubts, but couldn't help sticking her head out again.
What she saw next made Rukia's face turn red from her forehead to the roots of her neck, and her ears were so hot they could fry an egg on them.
Bilan straddled Li Luochen's lap, her hands on his shoulders, her whole body like a willow branch softened by the wind, gently leaning against his chest.
Wow!
Rukia abruptly shrank back behind the wall, her back pressed against the cold surface, her heart pounding like a startled rabbit.
This... this...
Is this something I can even look at?!
She covered her face with her hands, her fingertips burning hot.
But that image is already imprinted in my mind.
The way Chenbao lowered his head slightly and the way Sister Bilan looked up made the air between them feel sticky.
Recalling this moment, Rukia covered her face and squatted down, curling up into a ball, her head practically steaming.
No, no, no!
Why should I hide?
This is my own home! I was just passing by! Just passing by! I didn't intentionally peek!
Rukia found a hundred reasons for herself in her mind, each one sounding perfectly reasonable, but her heart just wouldn't slow down.
"Brother Luo Chen...brother?"
Acerola finished working on the murals and was about to report to Li Luochen when she blushed as she stepped into the living room.
"Ugh, why do you have to kiss in the living room? Is it to make Acerola jealous?"
Acerola's mournful tunnel.
I'm still an outsider.
Wouldn't it make this single girl, who's been single for years, envious to kiss in front of an outsider like herself?
"Luo Chen~ I'll be going now."
Bilan's gaze towards Li Luochen was almost drooling. Reluctantly, she left the living room and went to the backyard to instruct Lillie.
As they passed Acerola, Azure made eye contact with her.
The two women's eyes met, and for a fleeting moment, Acerola felt as if she had been burned by that gaze, and quickly looked away.
Azure remained calm, even slightly curving her lips, and walked over unhurriedly without stopping.
Only after that figure completely disappeared at the end of the corridor did Acerola let out a long breath, pat her burning cheeks, stand up, and sit down next to Li Luochen.
"Brother, I've compiled the contents of the mural. Please take a look."
Acerola is dressed very casually today.
She wore a white JK sailor uniform with a dark blue bow tie at the collar. The top was short enough to just cover her chest, revealing a section of her fair and slender waist.
She wore a pleated skirt in the same color, so short that it barely covered her upper thighs and didn't even reach her knees.
Li Luochen naturally took the materials and glanced at them briefly.
It contains records of the murals, along with their translated contents.
There were some things Li Luochen didn't understand, so he had to ask Acerola.
"Acerola, tell me what this means."
"Well, we need to look at the context. If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be used to worship the relics of a legendary god."
"What about this one?"
"This is a local custom, but there's something I find strange: there's no such tradition in ancient Alora, so I don't know if it's actually a custom in the Alora region."
"Oh, there's this too."
"Oh, Brother Luo Chen, just point out the problem as soon as you see it. That would save time, right? Otherwise, if you point it out, I have to take it from you and hand it back to you, which is such a waste of time."
After a while, Acerola started to feel a little dizzy.
Upon hearing this, Li Luochen subconsciously said, "Why don't you just sit on my lap? That would save time too."
