Chapter 308. Pissed Off
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
After waking up, Long Xiaoyuan still had the sense of pity inwardly.
Thinking of the scene in the dream in a daze, he suddenly felt sour in his heart.
At this time, there were some noise by the door. Long looked over.
Out of his expectation, it was Shi Qingzhou who appeared.
For an instant, Long almost thought he was still in his dream.
Shi walked in, and then stood by the bed. Looking at him, Long finally convinced himself that Shi did come here, and he was not dreaming.
He looked at Shi with some doubts, hesitating whether he should ask or say something.
But Shi took the lead. "Are you going to have dinner?"
Long paused slightly. "What?"
Shi pursed his lips. "It’s dark outside."
Instinctively, Long looked outside. Through the half-opened window, he found that it was indeed dark.
"It’s getting dark so soon?"
Shi agreed.
"Have you eaten anything?" Long asked.
Shi shook his head. "Not yet."
Hearing this, Long said immediately, "Then tell them to serve the meal."
Shi nodded and went out.
Long got up from the bed, shook his head, and found that he was a little groggy.
He didn’t feel better until washing his face with cold water.
Looking towards the door, Shi had already entered again, followed by the Shadow Guardians.
Dinner was served soon.
Long sat at the table, so did Shi.
Only then did Long clearly realize one thing. Just now, Shi came in and asked him if he wanted to have dinner, right?
Did this mean that he compromised?
Long found his heart lurched, feeling a little excited.
"Qingzhou, eat more of this." Long pretended to be calm and put some pork into Shi’s bowl.
Shi said "Alright", and then ate all of it.
Long put more for him.
Whenever Long put something in Shi’s bowl, he ate it.
Long couldn’t help wondering whether they had made up naturally.
However, after dinner, Shi said, "I want to go to the border."
Long was startled slightly, saying, "We have planned to go…"
"No, you stay here. I’m going there," Shi said.
Long narrowed his eyes. "Why?"
Shi looked towards Long. "You are not supposed to either appear at the border, or make a public appearance."
Long refuted calmly, "I know. I didn’t plan to do so. Actually, I can disguise myself before going there."
Shi shook his head upon hearing this. "For one thing, I’m going to learn about the situation at the border; for another, I want to confirm whether there are any spies from the Eastern Darkness, just like the general who had once worked for my father. Therefore, the fewer people going here, the better."
Long took a deep breath. "So, you are here to ask for my command?"
Shi responded with silence.
"Pretty good. What a brilliant idea." Long smiled with anger. "You’re right. The fewer people, the better. If I go there with you, I’ll be your burden. And once my identity is exposed, I’ll be a big trouble for people here."
Shi pressed his lips tightly.
Long waved his hand. "Okay, you have my permission. I’m tired now. I need some rest."
Shi fell silent.
Long got up directly and walked toward the bed.
After being silent for a while, Shi stood up and walked to the door…
Alone in the room, looking at the meal that had not yet been put away, Long took a deep breath, feeling a little sad somehow.
Could he feel another way around? When his wife came over to talk to him, Long thought that Shi was here to compromise, but instead, he didn’t expect that Shi only came here with one single purpose, i.e. staying further from him. Besides, he was not wanted to follow up!
Could he not be sad?
Shi still did not come back that night.
The next day, when Long got up, he learned that Shi had already left with two Shadow Guardians last night and headed for the border!
