Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Feeling his lover's comfort, Fu Xuan didn't speak, but buried his face deeper into his chest.

Lu Ze felt the fabric of his clothes gradually getting wet, the warm dampness seeping through the fabric onto his skin.

He didn't say anything more, just held her quietly, his hand stroking her hair and back, as if comforting a cat that had finally waited for its owner to return.

The soup on the stove was bubbling away, the steam blurring the kitchen window.

After an unknown amount of time, Fu Xuan's muffled voice finally came from his chest: "How long will you stay this time?"

These words made Lu Ze pause in his actions.

He took a deep breath, and the hand around Fu Xuan's waist tightened unconsciously by half a step, his eyes somewhat unfocused.

"Uh... well... I have to leave tomorrow morning."

Fu Xuan's body froze instantly.

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes red-rimmed, with tear stains still clinging to the corners, but her golden eyes had turned from tenderness to burning anger.

"Why was the time so short?" Fu Xuan's tone was full of complaint.

Thirty years, a full thirty years, just for this one night?

"Xuan'er, don't panic, let me explain."

Lu Ze's voice carried a hint of panic, and his hands instinctively gripped her shoulders.

"You speak, I listen."

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Lu Ze, with tiny water droplets still clinging to her eyelashes.

Clearly, if Lu Ze can't provide a reasonable explanation, Fu Xuan won't be able to hold a grudge.

Lu Ze felt a little guilty under her gaze, and his eyes unconsciously drifted half an inch to the side.

My brain is working at lightning speed.

This afternoon, I rummaged through trash cans at Nissou Land, ate barbecue skewers and drank milk tea, rewrote the ending of the story of Perki and Rocket, and even gave everyone a gift on the train, successfully avoiding Himeko's coffee.

This half-day was very fulfilling.

However, not a single word of these things can be said.

If Fu Xuan knew that he went out to play for half a day after returning home, he would probably have to kneel before the Jade Emperor tonight.

This is no joke. The edges of the jade tablet are sharp and angular, and kneeling on it is just as painful as kneeling on a washboard.

"Well... I was actually summoned from the Star, so there's a time limit..." Lu Ze stammered, only able to say what he could.

Lying is absolutely impossible. Lying in front of a diviner who can predict the future is just asking for death.

However, his ability to manage micro-expressions was completely transparent to Fu Xuan.

"What time did you arrive?"

Fu Xuan was no ordinary person; he saw through Fu Xuan's guilty conscience at a glance.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze shifting from his wandering eyes to the tips of his slightly reddened ears, her tone steady yet pressing.

Lu Ze knew he had no way out.

Seeing Fu Xuan's anger rising, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Am I about to face a nightmare?

The problem is, he didn't do anything to wrong her; it's just that some things were hard to explain, which is why he kept some things to himself.

But given the current situation, it's clearly too late to explain.

He simply leaned down and kissed Fu Xuan's lips.

Since he couldn't lie and didn't want to reveal that he had actually returned a long time ago but had only come to see her now, he could only use this trick to get by for now.

The kiss came somewhat unexpectedly.

Caught off guard by his blockade, Fu Xuan instinctively leaned back slightly.

As her tense body gradually relaxed, her hands slowly wrapped around his neck, her fingertips running gently through the hair at the back of his head.
