Lei Xing's mind was completely blank. She just stood there in his arms with her eyes closed, not reacting but not rejecting either. When she felt his tongue slide into her mouth and entangle hers, her brain finally woke up, her eyes flew open and she instinctively jerked her head back.
Lei Xing stared at him wide-eyed, when he smiled at her, she immediately lowered her head with her heart pounding erratically.
The Emperor held her face again, causing Lei Xing to knit her brows and go rigid. He lightly stroked a finger on one of her ears, which had gone crimson now.
{...How cute...}
"Xing er', how about staying here tonight?"
Lei Xing did not respond, becoming even more flustered.
{...It's really happening...really...okay, we can do this. It's noth-...}
The Emperor softly called again, "Xing er'?"
Lei Xing gulped and quietly squeezed out, "en."
The Emperor smirked, seeing her this nervous was actually very amusing. After a while of simply looking at her, he sighed and then said, "You should leave now."
Lei Xing blinked up at him in confusion, "Huh?"
The Emperor narrowed his eyes at her, "You don't want to?". Lei Xing quickly looked down again and shook her head. Then she tried to move away, but he tightened his hold instead of letting go, so she just awkwardly stood there with a confused frown.
"Xing er'?"
Lei Xing glanced up at him, then looked back down, flustered, and did not respond.
"Don't dress like this next time, unless you're trying to tempt me, understand?" The Emperor calmly advised.
Lei Xing subconsciously nodded and then lowered her head even further in embarrassment.
{...I'm pretty sure that's the general idea but don't worry, I'm going to evaporate that Xiao Ruo when I get back T_T)...}
The Emperor smiled at the top of her head and then moved his hand from her face and stroked her hair, then pulled her head to his chest in a hug, caressing her head. Lei Xing rigidly stayed still, feeling at a loss.
The Emperor hugged her for a while, resting his head on hers. He closed his eyes and inhaled, her scent was intoxicating. He opened his eyes, this was bad.
He quickly released her, held her hand, and quickly pulled her along. Lei Xing kept her head down, still trying to prepare her mind. She did not anticipate that she would need this much mental preparation for this occasion, it really was not a daunting task, right?
Eunuch Li smiled when he saw them heading toward the building.
Only for the Emperor to stop in front of the doors where Lei Xing's servants were. Both Lei Xing and Eunuch Li knit their brows in confusion.
The Emperor then looked at Xiao Ruo and motioned for her to come forward, took the cloak from her hands, and draped it over Lei Xing, who was still avoiding looking at him. After he was done tying it, he pat her head and said, "Sleep well."
Lei Xing nodded and then quickly turned to leave.
Eunuch Li approached the Emperor, who was watching Lei Xing leave with a small smile and asked, "Wh-What went wrong?"
"Nothing."
Eunuch Li frowned, "Then why did you send her away?"
The Emperor smirked at him, "It seems you underestimate me quite a bit." Then he turned and walked inside.
Eunuch Li scratched his head in confusion, then sighed in disappointment, and quickly followed the Emperor.
{...Is there really something wrong? Can't be...}
Lei Xing was left even more confused by the Emperor's behavior.
{...I am very, very confused...Is he gay? Of course not, he kissed me...Exactly! Then does he have some sort of other problem? I mean, he hasn't slept with anyone else either...That would make sen-...}
{...*NO, He doesn't!! It's your fault!...}
{...How the hell is this my fault?...}
{...*He sensed your hesitation! You didn't respond when he asked you to stay!...}
{...Who the hell would ask that sort of question when I already came here dressed like this?!... The only thing missing was me stripping and jumping him, which is impossible for me. I'll probably just end up punching him in the face instead...}
{...*Tch, maybe you should have...It'd knock some sense into his he-...}
{...Wait! You were listening? I thought you were gone?!...}
{...*Hahaha I was gone...but I came back...to check on you!... Then I heard you were having an interesting discussion...about the meditation! I know about meditation hahaha...So I wanted to listen hahaha...I'm not a pervert! haha...ha...Believe me, I'm not!...}
Lei Xing let out a breath in annoyance and did not bother with it.
Shortly after she arrived at her palace, an Eunuch came to deliver the remainder of the scrolls with the message that she should review all of them and write down her thoughts for the Emperor to review in their next session.
Lei Xing sent them to her study, out of her sight, she did not need to be plagued of reminders of what just happened...or what didn't happen. The fact that it didn't happen oddly made her more nervous, she did not like feeling confused. She sat down and started removing the hairpins from her hair.
{...Today's been a crap day. First, there's this dreaded terrorist eavesdropping bracelet with opinions, and then top it all off with this botched seduction attempt!... Wait, I was not trying to seduce him AT ALL...I'm glad it didn't happen. It just feels odd!...}
{...*I agree with you. He's an idiot to let such a great opportunity for progress slip away -_-)...}
{...I wasn't talking to you -_-)...}
As she loosened the braid, she glared at Xiao Ruo and Ah Jin's direction. They have learned that Lei Xing likes to be left alone when in a bad mood. So they did not bother her and quietly stood there.
"Xiao Ruo, tell me exactly what message you received from the Emperor." Lei Xing asked with a frown.
{...I want to know why I showed up overdressed...or should it be underdressed to a bloody study session! >_<)...}
Xiao Ruo timidly explained, "Eunuch Li called me to inform that the Emperor requested for you to come over this evening...Um, he smiled and said to make sure you are dressed appropriately for the Emperor...Th-that's it. Did the Emperor not like it?"
{...So it was that Eunuch planning out crap again. He played you and made me a clown!...}
Lei Xing sighed, "It's fine. You two leave."
They quickly shuffled out, leaving Lei Xing alone with her thoughts...and the unwelcome bracelet's.
{...*Ahem!...}
{...Leave me alone -_-)...}
{...*I have a question that I've been wanting to ask for a while now...}
{...I don't care -_-)...}
The bracelet also did not care for her opinion and continued on.
{...*What is the deal with you and him? He's normally so brilliant, decisive, direct, the type of person who gets the job done swiftly and efficiently! But when you get involved, he becomes slow, hesitant, clumsy...just an idiot! Which is why I have to g-...}
The bracelet suddenly stopped talking. Lei Xing rolled her eyes in annoyance, then knit her brows.
{...Have to what?...}
{...*What?!...}
{...You just sa -...}
{...*Your ears must be blocked!...}
{...-_-)...Again, not very smart...Do you know him?...}
{...*...}
{...It sounds like you know him pretty we-...}
{...*I don't! I...I just got the information from your thoughts!...}
Lei Xing narrowed her eyes.
{...Now that I think about it, you suddenly decided to stay after finding out I am "married" to said Emperor and seemed quite offended by my impotency claim just now...So what's your deal with him? -_-)...}
