Chapter 79

Chapter 79: A New transmigrator, UnderworldYama King?

Su Qian didn’t believe him at all.

She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. “Waiting for me?”

“Yeah.” Lu Yao looked serious. “Didn’t you say you’d bring me something tasty?”

Su Qian: “…”

[What kind of normal person waits outside someone’s bathroom door at night just to ask for food?]

[She seriously couldn’t take it.]

[Eat, eat, eat – that’s all you know how to do!]

Su Qian was so mad she almost went numb.

With her emotions stirred up, the injury on her head started aching again.

Su Qian frowned and lightly rubbed her forehead.

“Lu Yao, you’re really something. Waiting outside the bathroom door for food – how did you even think of that?” Su Qian scolded, annoyed.

Inside, she was both angry and amused.

She really couldn’t do anything about the way Lu Yao’s brain worked.

“What happened to your head?”

Lu Yao noticed the big bump on Su Qian’s forehead and instinctively reached out to touch it.

“Hiss-”

“Big brother, are you trying to murder me?”

Su Qian grimaced in pain and took a quick step back.

She pressed her hand tightly over her forehead. Her eyes teared up from the pain as she glared at Lu Yao, both mad and hurt.

Lu Yao was startled too and quickly pulled his hand back.

Guilt appeared on his face as he hurriedly said, “Sorry. I just saw your forehead was swollen and wanted to check how bad it was. I didn’t expect it to hurt you.”

“Can you be any dumber? You don’t know your own strength. It hurts like hell!”

Su Qian snorted angrily.

After that, she tossed the towel at him.

Then she walked out.

“Where are you going?” Lu Yao asked, his heart tightening.

Without turning her head, Su Qian said irritably, “Ice pack!”

Lu Yao watched Su Qian’s angry back, feeling helpless.

Su Qian went to the living room.

With an ice pack in hand, she dropped onto the sofa.

She pressed the ice pack hard against the injured spot on her forehead.

She couldn’t help muttering under her breath, “Hmph. That idiot. He only knows how to cause trouble. It hurts so bad.”

Lu Yao slowly walked to the living room doorway and leaned against the doorframe.

Looking at Su Qian’s back, he hesitated for a long time before speaking softly. “Do you want me to help?”

“Are you sure you’re not going to murder me?” Su Qian still hadn’t let go of what happened earlier.

Lu Yao’s lips curved slightly.

With a helpless smile, he said, “That was purely an accident.”

Not giving Su Qian a chance to refuse, he stepped forward.

He took the ice pack from Su Qian’s hand, and his movements were much gentler than before.

Su Qian was stunned by his sudden action.

She was just about to say something.

But her head really did hurt badly.

So she closed her mouth.

She only glared at Lu Yao in irritation.

That look clearly said, “If you hurt me again, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“Is the temperature okay? If it’s too cold, tell me.”

While lightly adjusting the ice pack, Lu Yao asked softly, “How did you get hurt?”

Su Qian’s anger had eased a lot, but her mouth still didn’t go easy. “I got into a small car accident. My head hit the car window.”

Lu Yao’s heart sank hard.

He noticed the faint dark aura between Su Qian’s brows had already disappeared.

Looks like the “Turn Misfortune into Fortune” talisman had worked.

“Next time, don’t run around alone,” Lu Yao said softly, adjusting the ice pack again, his movements even gentler.

At the same time, he secretly released a trace of spiritual energy.

Su Qian felt a faint warmth on her forehead, and the pain eased a lot.

She looked at Lu Yao in confusion and asked, “Why does my forehead feel kind of warm?”

Lu Yao smiled. “Maybe the ice pack is working.”

He didn’t explain further.

After a while, Lu Yao put the ice pack away. “Alright. Go back to your room and rest early.”

“Oh,” Su Qian replied softly.

When she looked up, her gaze met Lu Yao’s.

Their eyes locked, and the atmosphere suddenly turned a little strange.

They both froze slightly.

“Y-you…”

Lu Yao looked a little unnatural.

Staring at the face so close to his, the warmth of their breathing brushed lightly across each other.

Being this close made Su Qian’s already flushed face turn even redder.

“What?” Su Qian’s eyes held a bit of confusion and a hint of panic.

She subconsciously leaned back a little.

[This guy isn’t about to go feral, is he?]

[Should she refuse, or take the lead instead?]

Su Qian tried to create some distance between herself and Lu Yao, but the sofa was only so big, and she barely moved.

Lu Yao unconsciously shifted his gaze and lowered his eyes slightly.

And then – by sheer bad luck – he saw Su Qian’s collar.

“Y-you… you buttoned it wrong,” Lu Yao couldn’t help reminding her.

After saying that, he stood up. Without caring how Su Qian reacted, he walked toward his own room.

No one noticed that the tips of Lu Yao’s ears were already red.

Su Qian: “…”

The moment Su Qian heard that, her face turned even redder.

She hurriedly looked down to check, and only then did she realize that in her rush to button up, she really had fastened one button wrong.

The neat row of buttons was crooked.

It looked not only a little ridiculous, but also just a bit too revealing.

“Ah-”

“Lu Yao, you bastard!”

Su Qian’s face burned red.

Embarrassed and furious, she grabbed a throw pillow and hurled it hard at Lu Yao’s back as he walked away.

Hearing the movement, Lu Yao shifted slightly.

Without turning his head, he reached out and caught the pillow perfectly.

The corner of his mouth lifted in a faint, almost-there smile.

He shook his head helplessly.

Su Qian went back to her room and fixed the buttons properly.

[Doesn’t that mean I flashed him just now?]

Su Qian buried herself under the blanket. [This is so embarrassing.]

Because there was a man in the house now, Su Qian hadn’t worn any of her spaghetti-strap nightgowns at all.

She dressed properly.

Even in Great Xia weather, she wore long-sleeved, long-pants home pajamas.

Who would’ve thought something this dramatic would still happen?

She stayed under the blanket for a long time before sticking her head back out, glaring angrily at the door.

As if Lu Yao were standing right there.

She muttered, [Why would you point it out for no reason?]

This time, Su Qian had misunderstood Lu Yao.

Lu Yao was a proper gentleman. Back then, he had been focused on helping her with the ice pack and hadn’t noticed her buttons at all.

When he finally noticed, he immediately looked away.

He reminded her once so she wouldn’t be embarrassed, and left right away.

[Group Notice: group member Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling) assistance task completed. Chat Group upgraded LV.6, unlocked group storage function. Welcome new plane transmigrator Li Yi (UnderworldYama King) into the group.]

Just as Su Qian was still sulking over that awkward moment, a sudden “ding-dong” sounded in her head.

It pulled her back from her thoughts.
