绝代双骄 林志颖

It’s just that under the strong visual impact, he didn’t think of it for a moment.

He reluctantly looked away from the curve of other’s neckline, and took out the candy from his pocket.

“Thank you!”

Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes and smiled. He picked up the candy from the other’s hand, and brushed his soft and cold fingertips against the man’s hot and rough palm. Rowett felt that the small piece of skin that was touched seemed to suddenly send a spark of electric current that rushed towards the depths of the body.

The merman knew nothing of the undercurrents in his heart.

He unwrapped the candy, stuffed the strawberry-flavoured candy into his mouth, and his lips lifted up in satisfaction. Then, he broke away from Rowett’s arms and happily strode on his new legs, walking crookedly towards the soft couch he was lying on before, and curled up again in his original position.

Rowett followed behind him without falling behind a single step, and stopped beside the soft couch.

He leaned down, his well-knotted palm supported the back of the chair, his tall figure cast an oppressive shadow, completely shrouding Ge Xiu. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and the aggression in them was like a ignited flame instantly burning savanna, an almost threatening darkness settled in the bottom of his eyes.

His voice was slightly hoarse, the lowered voice made ones heart beat faster and it had a blush-inducing heat:

“Is saying thank you enough?”

Ge Xiu was taken aback, looked up at Rowett, and started at him thoughtfully.

Rowett stretched out his hand and gently outlined the delicate and graceful merman’s jawline, feeling the touch of the other’s cold and soft skin.

Unconsciously, the distance between the two gradually shortened, and Rowett was able to smell the sweet scent of strawberries, which stimulated his instinctive impulse to plunder and possess.

The merman’s eyes are bright and clear blue-purple, like a magnificent sea in the twilight, staring at the Emperor who is close at hand, without shyness, but seeming to be very surprised by the progress in front of him.

After thinking for a long time, he finally asked: “Do you want to have sex with me?”

This sentence was a bit straightforward.

Rowett was also stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect the other party to react like this, and he couldn’t think of an answer for a while.

Ge Xiu frowned slightly in confusion, and after carefully looking at the man in front of him for a long time, he hesitated and said:

“Are you sure?”

Rowett: “…”?

As a result, the previously charming and sensual atmosphere was completely dispelled by Ge Xiu’s incomprehensible questioning.

After a brief period of surprise, Rowett lips raised involuntarily, and he couldn’t help laughing uncontrollably: “Hahahahahahahahahaha!”

This time it was Ge Xiu’s turn to be at a loss.

Was what he just said so funny?

Finally, Rowett laughed enough. He raised his hand and loosened his neckline, then sat down beside Ge Xiu, his slender arms resting on the back of the chair, enclosing the other person’s figure within his sphere of influence with a subtle possessiveness.

Ge Xiu straightened up and stared at the man in front of him puzzled:

“Why are you laughing?”

The corners of Rowett’s lips rose again uncontrollably, but this time he obviously resisted the desire to laugh out loud, he asked with a smile instead:

“One question for one question, first tell you why you’re asking me whether I’m sure, and then I’ll answer you.”

Ge Xiu felt that he had good reasons:

“First of all, I’m a merman who killed his previous owner, and secondly, I have became a human, haven’t I? This obviously shows that I’m not an ordinary mermaid, and I’m very likely to be very dangerous-“

He frowned in disbelief. “So how could you possibly want to have sex with an unknown species that could bite through your throat at any time?”

“Doesn’t that mean you’re amazingly attractive?”

Rowett couldn’t help laughing.

Ge Xiu pondered for a while, then shook his head: “This only means that you’re either crazy enough not to care, or stupid enough to think that I will be merciful to you because of my peacefulness the other day…”

Rowett laughed again.

He hadn’t been this happy in a long time, and to be precise, he hadn’t had such a relaxed moment since he was born in the royal family of the Empire—and this actually came from carefully analysing with a merman why he had desires for him—it was a little too funny.

Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows angrily: “If you laugh again, I will bite you to death.”

Rowett stopped feeling a little out of breath, he barely restrained the urge to lift his lips upwards, his dark eyes shining with laughter, he replied casually: “Of course I’m sure.”

Ge Xiu was stunned for two seconds before realizing that the other party was answering the question “Are you sure you want to have sex with me?”.

Rowett leaned towards Ge Xiu, still with an irresistible smile on his lips, his handsome face was no longer gloomy and violent, but had a strange and charming feeling:

“So, are you willing?

Ge Xiu replied without hesitation: “Of course not.”

Leaving aside whether he was willing to accept having sex with a man he had only known for a few days— he was now in a virtual world, who knows whether the group of people outside could see what was happening inside it, he didn’t want to perform a live erotica performance for strangers.

And what would happen afterwards?

Ge Xiu didn’t want to face wet underwear after returning to the real world.

Unexpectedly, Rowett seemed to have no objection to this. He still had a small smile on his lips, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stepped back without any entanglement:

“Okay then.”

Ge Xiu blinked, not responding for a while.

Rowett shrugged, with a deep smile in his deep eyes: “After all, I don’t want you to bite my throat in the process.”

Ge Xiu: “…”

Although he knew that he was making fun of what he just said, he still couldn’t help grinding his teeth, as if he was biting a piece of the other party’s flesh in his mouth.

Rowett suddenly changed his words:

“However, I still want to thank you.”

He sat up straight and leaned a little close —the merman’s skin has always been cold, and the perception of external temperature changes was naturally more sensitive, almost at the exact moment the distance between them shortened he became aware the man’s body was as hot as a furnace.

The corners of Rowett’s lips curled slightly, and his low voice was somewhat lazy and casual:

“Come with me to the dance tomorrow night.”

Dance party?

Sounds like fun.

Ge Xiu blinked: “Okay.”

The light above his head was like a dazzling crystal, and the splendid light spots were scattered in the depths of the blue-purple eyes of the merman, making them even more beautiful and filled with mystery of the deep sea.

The feeling of being bewitched slowly resurfaced in his heart again.

Rowett stared at him deeply, and suddenly said, “I don’t know your name yet.”

The name of a mermaid was often given by their owner—the human who occupied the absolute dominant position gave their plaything a designated word according to his own preferences. Not only for the convenience of daily title, but also to represent their power of being able to dispose of their belongings at will.

But somehow Rowett just knew that this merman had a name.

“Ge Xiu.” As expected, his merman told him it straightforwardly without any hesitation.

“Ge… Xiu?” Rowett recited the two syllables that obviously did not belong to the branch of the languages he knew, and the strange and unfamiliar words rolled twice on the tip of his tongue and were swallowed back into his throat.

The smile on his lips deepened: “Valen Rowett, a pleasure to meet you.”

Ge Xiu was slightly stunned.

An inexplicable sense of familiarity struck his mind.

Back then, in the first world, when he first met with the well-known God of War, the other party used this tone to say almost the same sentence——

…was it a coincidence?

Rowett didn’t notice Ge Xiu’s momentary pause, he stood up, summoned the attendant outside, carefully instructing about something, and when Ge Xiu came back to his senses, the other party had already arranged everything and was looking down at him:

“Your room is next to mine, the tailor will come to tailor your clothes tomorrow, and some necessary supplies have been delivered.”

Rowett bent down, in the depths of his dark eyes lit up strong fire of possessiveness, he raised his hand and squeezed Ge Xiu’s chin, and said suggestively:

“If you change your mind, you can knock on my door at any time.”

After speaking, he straightened up, turned and walked out.

The attendants waiting by the side lowered their eyes in fear—although His Majesty the Emperor was usually moody enough, they have never seen the Emperor show such an interesting expression, even when he left he had a faint smile on his lips. The feeling of helplessness brought about by this change made them even more afraid and trembling, from fear that they would make a slightest mistake.

The heavy door slowly closed, engulfing the man’s figure.

Ge Xiu stared thoughtfully at the intricate and gorgeous patterns on the door, his brows involuntarily twitched slightly.

He slowly raised his hand and touched his chin.

The icy skin that had been touched seemed to still retain the scorching temperature of the man’s fingertips. The touch was like a phantom, couldn’t dissipate for a long time, and almost overbearingly forcibly stayed on the surface of the skin.

Holding a grand dance in the middle of the year was a century-old tradition of the royal family. It was not limited to the top-notch high society like a banquet. Some well-known businessmen and leaders of various industries would also attend. Many families and newly in business regarded it as a great opportunity to climb up the ranks, young aristocratic men and women saw it as the perfect place to get acquainted and meet with others, sometimes intimately.

Money, wealth, power, beauty, all intertwined into the most watched event in the entire empire.

Even the media were eagerly anticipating, preparing for the next day’s headline—

Who will His Majesty the Emperor appear with?

All the speculation stirred and grew to the top on the night of the dance, everyone was looking forward to the grand occasion of the tonight dance.
