Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

"We meet again."

Chu Zihang's face showed no expression related to the joy of reunion.

Natsuki released Erii's wrist: "Except for that... um, it's your representative... um..."

Aside from Chen Motong and the fact that he represented Kassel College, he didn't say anything. Although it's not a problem for him to know these things given his status, he shouldn't know them given his public image.

However, the Kassel College didn't know what kind of persona he should have.

Since Xia Mu didn't finish her sentence, and Chu Zihang couldn't respond, and since he was the worst at conversation, the following dialogue became:

"You sing very well."

"Thank you."

"Your mask is nice."

"…Thanks."

"you…"

Xia Mu removed his mask and said helplessly, "Just ask whatever you want, don't try to steer the conversation away."

Chu Zihang paused for a moment, but showed no embarrassment. He nodded and asked, "Have you made any new discoveries about that rainy night?"

That's the real reason he came running over here so eagerly.

Xia Mu wanted to shake her head, but then she couldn't bear to, so she thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how to describe it, but it seemed that she and I were under some kind of spell. It seemed that Odin didn't intend to kill us, but rather to turn us into puppets."

"Not planning to kill? A puppet?"

Chu Zihang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Xia Mu was implying to him that his biological father might not be dead.

"Are you sure?" Chu Zihang couldn't help but ask.

“Yes,” Xia Mu nodded seriously, then pointed to Erii behind her, “Eri… Erii knows too, ask her.”

"is it?"

Chu Zihang looked intently at Erii, his eyes unblinking.

Erii shrank back down, leaving only her head showing.

She first looked up at Xia Mu, and then nodded to Chu Zihang: "Mm."

"call…"

Chu Zihang took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

This deep breath felt exceptionally long; he couldn't calm himself down without it.

"Thank you!"

He looked at Xia Mu with utmost seriousness: "I owe you a favor."

Xia Mu was in a good mood.

The favor I owe my senior brother, the one who killed the idiot! That's incredibly valuable!

Because he was willing to risk his life for it.

"that…"

Chu Zihang was in a good mood, but his expression remained expressionless: "Can I ask another question?"

It's still fermenting, and it should take a few more days to reach its peak.

Xia Mu was in a great mood, and with his hands in his pockets, he chuckled and said, "Ask me anything, I'll answer you."

"you…"

Chu Zihang looked at him, then glanced at Erii behind him: "What's your relationship? Are you a couple?"

Xia Mu: "..."

not good!

The serious and earnest senior brother who kills idiots is offline, and the gossipy senior brother is online.

"If we were really a couple, would you dispose of my body right here in this underground parking lot?" Xia Mu grinned.

Chu Zihang was completely bewildered: "Why?"

"Aren't you her fan?" Natsuki offered Erii the opportunity.

Erii looked at him somewhat blankly, but still looked at Chu Zihang with him.

"So what if she's a fan? Aren't fans supposed to take their idols as role models and be happier when their idols become better? Xia Liyi has found true love, shouldn't I be happy for her?" Chu Zihang said calmly.

"Looks like you're a fake fan," Xia Mu said.

Chu Zihang was puzzled: "Why?"

“Generally speaking, there are very few idol stars who are fans of life, career, or motherhood. What idol stars have are fans of looks, girlfriends, or body types,” Xia Mu said.

"Oh…"

Chu Zihang nodded: "So what is your relationship?"

He prefers to get straight to the point and won't let the topic be diverted.

"What do you think our relationship is?" Natsuki suddenly asked Erii with a smile.

Erii looked thoughtful, then a lightbulb went off on her forehead: "You're a man, I'm a woman, we're in a heterosexual relationship!"

Chu Zihang: "???"

Xia Mu was both amused and exasperated.

"What I'm asking is, are you two a couple?" Chu Zihang said.

Erii blinked blankly, took a half step towards Natsuki, and quietly tugged at his sleeve: "Natsuki, what is a couple?"

Chu Zihang: "..."

Natsuki whispered into Erii's small, cute ear, "Didn't I tell you that if a girl likes a boy, she'll want to marry him? If she marries him, then they're husband and wife. If they're not married yet, but they like each other and are together, then they're just lovers."

"Oh…"

Erii nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

“Actually, we’re friends, I guess,” Xia Mu said to Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang looked at their behavior, his face clearly saying two words... "Disbelief".

Erii secretly (or openly?) tugged at Natsuki's sleeve again: "Aren't friends and lovers different?"

Xia Mu whispered in her ear again, "Friends just need to find each other pleasing to the eye, while lovers need to like each other."

What is liking?

As expected, Erii pressed for more information.

Xia Mu thought for a moment and said, "Liking someone means wanting them, just like if you like Five Eyes Fried Rice, you want to eat it every day."

"Oh…"

Erii seemed to understand but not quite: "But just because you like someone doesn't mean you can eat them..."

"Actually, it's not impossible..."

Xia Mu coughed lightly: "When you like someone, you want to be with them all the time. You need them, and no matter what they do, you want them to be by your side. That's what liking someone is."

What about love?

"Love is wanting him to be well, whether he's by your side or not, as long as he's doing well... Huh?"

Xia Mu looked at Chu Zihang, both amused and exasperated: "Why are you asking me too?"

Chapter Thirty-One: Erii Out of Control

"Because what you said makes a lot of sense, is simple and easy to understand."

Chu Zihang explained with a blank expression.

Erii pouted and muttered softly, "No way..."

"Anyway, liking is about possession, while love is about giving!"

Xia Mu crossed his arms and said, "You have to trust my professional abilities. Although I haven't done any practical work, I've learned a lot of theory."

Xia Mu smiled happily.

"You have a great day."

Erii's eyes crinkled into a smile.

"Ah."

The two looked at each other.

Chu Zihang shivered from the sweetness.

"Ding."

At that moment, the elevator doors opened again.

Yuan Zhisheng came out with three lackeys and Chen Motong.

"You two, your lodgings for tonight have been arranged. Please go with Crow and Yaksha."

He spoke politely to Chen Motong and Chu Zihang, then turned to Xia Mu, his gaze softening slightly: "Are you happy today? Come on, come home with your brother."

Xia Mu 'obediently' hummed in agreement, tugged at Erii's sleeve, and led her to follow behind him.

Yuan Zhisheng's eyes twitched incessantly.
