Chapter 489: Chapter 165: Why is it Still Your Turn?

After sending Chen Guang away, Li Changhe put the door back in place and planned to rush back to his bedroom.

Just as he opened the door, Xiao Nan walked out, her cheeks flushed. She lacked the previous impulsiveness and tension.

Her exquisite face was hidden behind a pair of black-framed glasses, concealing the red corners of her eyes.

She had changed from an oversized t-shirt into a black sweater, and her formerly bare smooth legs were now clad in ankle-length pants and flat shoes.

A glimpse of her white long socks gave off a casual daily vibe.

The tight neckline of her sweater, however, was a disappointment at first sight to Li Changhe.

The splendid view he used to feast his eyes on was hidden away. It was such a pity...

Li Changhe blamed Chen Guang in his heart and planned to deduct his salary for the next 21 years.

He watched as Xiao Nan’s hand pulsed with space-time fluctuations and she took out a small hammer.

"Whack!" She made a cute noise as she hammered the door.

’Bang’

Following the crisp sound, the door began to repair itself, the steel plate that was bent by Chen Guang’s kick was restored to its original form.

But it didn’t seem right... was it the equipment effect?

"Whack!"

"Whack!"

After three strikes, the door and doorframe were restored to their original state.

Li Changhe, who had taken a toolbox from his [Backpack] with plans to repairing the door, looked surprised.

Looking at his toolbox, his Working Emperor strength was preempted before it could be displayed.

"This era changes too fast!"

[Repair hammer]

[Quality: Fine]

[Type: Weapon/Auxiliary Tools]

[Effect: Has a chance to repair ordinary items, the more complex the item, the lower the success rate]

[Limitation: Must make a "whack" sound when using the effect]

[Note: Do you know why it can be used as a weapon?]

"Hmm... probability? If the repairing effect doesn’t trigger, it would just damage the item." Li Changhe thought for a moment. Trying it himself wouldn’t be a good idea, causing damage to flowers and plants.

"Hmm..." Xiao Nan responded in a low voice, her blush deepening. She seized Li Changhe’s misbehaving hand from inside her thick coat: "Let’s go out... It’s almost lunchtime. Shall we go for noodles?"

"I would rather eat you, in my room." Li Changhe murmured.

Ignoring him, she spread her hand, and a floating water droplet appeared.

Using it to moisten Li Changhe’s messy hair, she showed off her control over her power.

"This isn’t messy, you know it best." Li Changhe muttered again, blaming her for last night’s manhandling. Look at the marks on him!

He looked like he had been feeding mosquitoes.

"Why is it always your turn? When is my turn?" With a tone like a scorned woman, he wrapped his arms around her small waist and complained, "Shouldn’t matters be seen to completion?"

After recalling, he realized that he was always on the losing end.

Whenever his turn finally comes, Chen Guang, the unexpected help for her, successfully interrupts everything. In the end, it’s still not his turn!

Is there justice? Is there law?

"..." She stood still and took a candy from her pocket. After unwrapping it, she popped it into Li Changhe’s mouth.

It was her favorite fruit candy, which had various flavors hidden within the same exterior. Only after the outer layer is dissolved can one taste the flavor within.

She loved the green apple flavor, but most of the time had to go through several candies before she could find one.

This candy was fun to eat but too fattening. She gave it up when she was trying to lose weight.

"And you think this candy can dismiss me? It’s too unfair." Li Changhe grumbled while still sucking on the candy.

"Hmm!" Her ears reddened further, but she continued utterly at ease.

He had to find opportunity to "discipline" her, Li Changhe thought.

...

By the river, the winter wind felt even harsher.

The wet and cold environment of Nanzhe made people want to crawl back into bed.

At least, that’s what Li Changhe thought.

As the Working Emperor, he was used to the four seasons. Now he just hoped for the night to fall quickly. After all, human desires are hard to suppress.

"In any case, accompanying her to relax is also a good idea. I’m obliged to keep her desire high and help her to unload her emotions." Li Changhe was resigned to the situation. With her character, it would be hard for her to act on impulse again. Patience was the key here.

"At least you’re honest," Yun Ting commented, popping up in his head: "She cried for a long time last night..."

"Wait, how do you know she cried for a long time?" Li Changhe’s face froze; something about her comment didn’t sit right with him.

"I heard her," Yun Ting replied, "I was right by your window, right?"

"Hey, Brother Ting, you’ve crossed the line! Being the third wheel is one thing, but eavesdropping? Next time, I’ll stuff you in the washing machine."

"..."

They sat on a sightseeing chair by the river, and she never let go of his hand she had held in her pocket.

The cold wind blew her flowing hair, and her glasses accentuated her intellectual beauty.

Looking at the waves in the distance, she spoke softly.

"Before we ended the call, she said the New Year’s Eve dinner wasn’t appetizing and mentioned a decent restaurant by the river in Yanyun... She also said that when she returns, she would make you treat her... and then there was nothing."

"Her last words left at the headquarters were that she didn’t want her family to know about her death."

"My aunt and uncle think she is on a business trip. They complained to us about her always being out, never bringing a man home... But she can never bring him home now... because he too died with her."

"Seeing their faces, I got scared. Scared of them finding out the truth, scared that she’s really gone... and scared that such a thing could happen to you."

"Can you promise me? Don’t die..." The once invincible Holder spoke with a plea in her words.

He felt her grip tighten on his hand.

Li Changhe softly replied, "Yes. I promise."

However, death, like birth, is an inevitable journey in life.

To keep this promise would have an unimaginable cost. He faintly heard a sigh.

"This is so sour." On the way back, she suddenly gripped his hand tighter and with the other hand covered her cheek, "Swap with me."

"Sure, mine is quite sweet. Although it’s not apple flavored."

He jolted, indicating her not to flirt, or else he’d die of shock.

"Hmm." She moved her face closer, her eyes brimming with laughter.

Half a minute later, Li Changhe chewed on the green apple candy, feeling betrayed.

Why is it still your turn?

That’s too much!
