2536 Side Story 40: What Kind of Lady does He Like
He looked toward the person talking—a handsome, tall, and young man who was either sixteen or seventeen years old.
It was Yi Ming, who previously invited Tuan Zi.
With his age and background, it was appropriate for him to address Zi Chen as ‘senior.’ However, Zi Chen felt upset when he heard it.
“I have stayed with Tuan Zi for many years, and we’re as close as family. You don’t have to be this polite,” said Zi Chen lightly.
Tuan Zi stayed beside him and hugged his arm, nodding readily. “Yeah, yeah! Zi Chen and I are very close! You can just directly address him by his name!”
If they call him senior, how should they calculate my seniority?
Yi Ming was dazed for a moment but quickly revealed a smile. “Yes.”
Since these two people had said that, then they naturally had no reason to refute.
Zi Chen looked at Tuan Zi and wiped her tears, scrutinizing her small face as he did so.
Perhaps she had suffered while guarding him, but her originally chubby face had slimmed down, showing her sharp chin. There were also patches of black below her eyes.
“You didn’t sleep well?” he asked with the same light expression.
Tuan Zi shook her head. “I’m not tired, I’m not tired!”
However, she yawned.
Zi Chen raised his brows.
Tuan Zi instantly covered her mouth and was embarrassed.
In the beginning, she was not very tired. But now that Zi Chen woke up, she finally relaxed, and her entire person unwittingly loosened up.
The lethargy overwhelmed her.
“I’ll send you to rest,” said Zi Chen as he carried her and walked back.
Yi Ming and the rest exchanged glances. Tuan Zi just came…
“Huh? I’m fine…” Tuan Zi was still thinking of the barrier as she rested her chin on his shoulders, her voice soft. “Barrier, barrier…”
Zi Chen turned around and looked at the crowd. “I’ll teach whoever hasn’t learned yet.”
No matter what, I have to send Tuan Zi back to rest first.
The crowd hurriedly waved their hands. “We got it—we all got it! Tuan Zi is so tired, so she should go back and rest properly!”
“Yeah, yeah! We can do it ourselves!”
Tuan Zi’s voice was soft. “I haven’t played properly yet…”
Her love for playing had been suppressed during this time. Now that it was finally unleashed, she wanted to stay with Yi Ming and the rest.
However, her body did not allow for it, and Zi Chen’s arms were warm and thick. The familiar aura wrapped her, and she could not help but be tired.
Looking at Tuan Zi’s small face with hints of lethargy, Yi Ming’s heart also hurt. He smiled at Tuan Zi and said, “Tuan Zi, go back and rest first. When you’re energized, we’ll play with you.”
Tuan Zi heard it and was elated. Her eyes curved up as she smiled. “Okay!”
The duo’s figures gradually went far away.
After a while, the crowd finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Whew… This sir is amazing. He just stood there, and his suppression was suffocating!”
“Yeah! He is Goddess Yue’s legendary fiend… He’s indeed different. Besides, his body has the great phoenix dragon clan’s bloodline. It doesn’t lose out to us at all.”
Not only did he not lose, but they did not even dare to speak a word in front of Zi Chen.
“But Tuan Zi is the same too, yet there’s no such suppression from her.”
“I heard that Zi Chen used to be the legendary three-eyed eagle clan leader. He was harsh and decisive, so he naturally trained for it. As for Tuan Zi, she has followed Goddess Yue since she was young and hasn’t grown up yet. Of course, they’re different!”
“But even though Zi Chen looked cold, he treated Tuan Zi very nicely…”
The few ladies discussed softly, and there was a faint blush on their faces as their eyes lit up.
Not to mention other aspects, but Zi Chen’s looks were superior.
He had the maturity and stability that young people did not have, as if everything was under his control. Even Tuan Zi was especially obedient in front of him.
Such an aura was an especially lethal attraction to some women. It was no wonder they just took a few glances and already secretly admired Zi Chen, even though they did not even speak to him.
“What type do you think he likes?” Some girls whispered with red faces.
Yi Ming glanced at them helplessly. That person doesn’t look like he is to be trifled with. Previously, he did not even give them another glance. Their intentions are for naught.
He shook his head. “Let’s repair the barrier first! Don’t let Tuan Zi laugh at us later.”
…
Zi Chen carried Tuan Zi and walked back.
He held the back of her head and adjusted her body into a more comfortable position.
She was a small ball, and she felt as light as a feather in his arms. Though she was soft, she pressed on his heart heavily.
He glanced down at her and slightly furrowed his brows when he thought of the scene at the Fantasy Divine Hall.
He never wanted to experience such a scene again. Luckily, her body was warm, and her eyes were lively.
He held her even tighter.
Tuan Zi smacked her lips and clutched his clothes to speak. “Zi Chen, why did you wake up so quickly? I thought I had to wait for a long time…”
As if unaffected, Zi Chen retracted his gaze and looked to the front. “The time is up, so I naturally woke up.”
He had already recovered his consciousness long ago and could sense the commotion outside, including her cries, her laughter, and her mutters. He did not want her to wait for too long because the girl would be too pitiful in that scenario.
“Oh, amazing!” Tuan Zi praised him and continued, “A’Yue definitely knows too! When we’re done with the matters here, we have to go back quickly! Oh right, A’Yue is pregnant, and they’re twins! I wonder if they’ll be boys or girls…”
She originally wanted to repeat everything that happened after Zi Chen fell into hibernation, but her voice became softer and softer as she spoke. In the end, she tilted her head and indeed fell asleep in his arms.
…
Returning to the residence, Zi Chen came to the house and put Tuan Zi to bed with extremely light movements.
His chest suddenly tightened.
He looked down and saw Tuan Zi’s hands still grabbing his clothes.
He held her body with one hand, while the other loosened her grip.
However, she suddenly knitted her brows as if she was agitated. Terror and nervousness quickly flashed across her face. “No! No…”
It was as if she were afraid of losing something as she gripped his clothes even more tightly. Her small body started to tremble.
Zi Chen paused in his actions and guessed that she was having a nightmare.
He thought for a moment, hugged her again, and lightly patted the back of her head.
“Zi Chen… dangerous…” she muttered. Her tone was unclear, but tears welled up in her tightly shut eyes.
He was dazed. So… she dreamed of him?
After a moment, he recovered his senses and wiped away her tears. “Be good, Tuan Zi.”
His voice was very low but light and warm. It was hard to imagine that such a cold and harsh person would use such a tone to speak.
Tuan Zi’s brows gradually relaxed.
He rubbed her small feet. “Good girl.”
