It had been a few hours already from the point Du Lan had started talking with Du Huan, and everything was fine except that Xiao Fan shouldn't be taking this long to return, Du Lan thought.
Still, she wasn't worried as what could happen to Xiao Fan outside there? Nothing, of course, she reasoned to herself and continued as normal giving ample time for Xiao Fan.
And Xiao Fan was using this time given to him; however, if Du Lan knew what he was using it, she would be infuriated since he and Qian Wei were still going at it.
Inside the safehouse, both of them had already become a ball of flesh entangled in each other's bodies while the only thing keeping them separated anymore were the clothes they had on.
They had been enjoying the touches of the other for over an hour when Qian Wei was finally starting to show exhaustion.
Qian Wei's snow-white face was already red and her breathing ragged, which sometimes paused because small moans were escaping her mouth.
These were coming from not only the small caressing and kissing him, but also from his hand that had sometime ago slithered upwards on her chest.
And for the first time, Xiao Fan was getting a good feel of a pair of breasts in his hands which he did greatly enjoy.
The two elastic mounds in his hand couldn't be grabbed with one hand even if they were alone were making Xiao Fan's head run on a higher gear.
When he had gone for it, he had been a little hesitant yet when he had done it Qian Wei hadn't done anything to it except a small squeal from the surprise.
Nothing else, so he soon after began kneading them, which was also the reason for the voices escaping her mouth.
Qian Wei feeling her breast being moulded wasn't content in being the only one touched from the chest, and her two hands had moved from his neck to his stomach to feel his muscles.
Yet for her, it was a little disappointing, for Xiao Fan didn't have bulging muscles but only some small much fitter ones which one would have a hard time doing other than running her hands up and down on them.
But she didn't mind this.
Xiao Fan was giving her ample attention, letting her mind run wild when his mouth had retreated from her mouth to test other places on her body, mainly the neck, collarbone, and her ear.
When Xiao Fan would nibble on her ear, Qian Wei's head would stretch backwards, her moans of pleasure became even louder than before and completely forgetting her hands and other body parts.
Yet in the end, Qian Wei finally feeling some of her thirst for him had been quenched had gotten her sanity back and could stop this before they would be going too far for now.
He noted how her movements were dying down, and so separated from her neck, his hands coming down from her chest onto her waist around her hips.
¨Like it?¨ Xiao Fan asked, smiling at the beetle red Qian Wei.
Qian Wei instantly became bashful after hearing him say such things, but still a small reply in the form of ¨Un¨ Came out of her.
¨Good girl¨ For her honesty, he gave him another short kiss on her cheek. Such a fantastic woman, Xiao Fan thought, appreciating her who was still sitting on him.
However, like Qian Wei, Xiao Fan at the moment was starting to gain his sanity back, and the first thought that sprung inside his mind was concerning about Du Lan and would she kill him for this?
Qian Wei feeling this moment of silence said something ¨Thinking about other women already are we?¨ She predicted.
This time Xiao Fan was with the short answer of only nodding to her question.
Seeing this Qian Wei could feel that their fun time was over and so moved herself from the position on top of him to his side yet still so that she could lean on him.
¨Thinking about will that Du Lan girl kill you for this?¨ She then made a follow-up question.
To which, Xiao Fan acknowledged with a small tilt of his head that was on the edge of noticeable.
For Xiao Fan by every second he thought more about this, he became fearing about one thing almost much as his punishment.
That was that would Du Lan ever forgive him for this?
Last time during the auction thing he had sensed that Du Lan herself was offended by his actions, and when they first met she was also unstable in her feelings, so wasn't there a possibility in this all that she would break down?
He could try to keep it hidden but at some point wouldn't it become a bit too obvious if Qian Wei was still always around them even after thousands of years?
There was also the possibility of saying that she was only a companion, but doing so just felt bad and unfair for both.
He was getting the feeling that the only thing he could do was, tell her everything, and then work from there.
His pondering was eased by Qian Wei on his side, who could feel his confusion in his body by being in skin contact, from that she could use her senses to catch feelings and clues about his thinking.
¨As I stated before she is a smart girl and must have seen this coming¨ She spoke.
¨What do you mean?¨ Qian Wei had some idea? Hearing this, he craved to know what she was thinking more precisely.
For the first time, Qian Wei looked at Xiao Fan like Du Lan would when he didn't get things before telling it in a more understandable fashion.
¨Just go and tell her about it she will not leave you. Also, I would like to remind you that you have something much more important to be doing right now¨ She said, nudging her body a little on his.
Xiao Fan getting it somewhat decided to listen to her advice while also reading from her movement that she wanted to cuddle or at least have one of his hands.
...
The first round of the tournament would be ending at noon the next day.
Xiao Fan was still during the morning with Qian Wei while Du Lan was left alone thinking if something had happened to Xiao Fan during the night after Du Huan had left.
Furthermore, she also had her own worries.
As in the end, Du Lan and Du Huan hadn't gotten into any understanding concerning Du Lan's new relationship with Xiao Fan that had almost ended up with them breaking ties.
The two of them had been almost fighting about it but realised that they could do it in the second rounds, so they hadn't started the only fight between Body Activation realm experts in the first round.
But their healthy relationship had been destroyed.
Meanwhile.
Xiao Fan hadn't slept during the night, his eyes open wide, and while Qian Wei was snuggling up to him, he thinking all night had only blinked a few times, for the thinking was taking all priority.
His thoughts concerned what?
His future.
He didn't look for Du Lan in the morning but chose to go with Qian Wei at noon when the tournament had ended.
His ¨choosing¨, in reality, was Qian Wei's want to spend more time with him, and even after letting him go was she following close by.
For no good reason, he suspected.
When he was back at the gate going to line up for their evaluation, he finally saw his precious one nervously looking around her trying to spot him.
The moment Du Lan spotted him a huge weight fell off her shoulders as she came up and was about to hug Xiao Fan.
That plan, however, was blocked by a woman she knew very well who had been behind Xiao Fan the whole time without her even noticing Qian Wei.
Du Lan could only watch in horror.
How right before her, their hug was interrupted by Qian Wei kissing Xiao Fan on the lips and although it was quick Du Lan could without a doubt see what was happening.
For a moment she was about to burst right there yelling and screaming, she didn't need a second to see that Xiao Fan didn't do anything against this kiss.
Yet a second before she was about to have a meltdown Xiao Fan, who only made a stern glance at Qian Wei playfully giggling back had embraced Du Lan.
Xiao Fan hugging her was just enough to cool her down, for now, and let gather herself from the pieces into a more compact one that wouldn't break down in front of everyone in Hangzhou.
The bomb had been defused for now; however, like last time the other fuse was lit.
Lit that would instantly explode when brought to a sealed environment.
A half a minute of the tightest hug there was, Xiao Fan slowly let Du Lan out of his chest back into the world, and when she was coming out Xiao Fan swept the few tears coming out from her eyes.
Then he lowered his head to her level and whispered something to her ear to which she nodded while at the same time, he felt one of her hands squeeze into his side. Hard!
A pain which Xiao Fan did truly feel through his body since she used almost all of her cultivation in that, luckily it wasn't a full-power one that could break his side.
After this, her head turned towards Qian Wei, but that look she gave the woman who had taken a piece of her man's heart was one that wasn't essentially bad.
Xiao Fan seeing this turn out like this was already happy enough to let them talk it out someday, and then he took off towards the line with Du Lan.
The two women wouldn't be talking right now, so he left pretending that nothing had ever happened between him and Du Lan.
Everyone else would only see the happy couple.
During the evaluation, both of them easily passed, but that wasn't celebrated at all as they were both in tacit understanding, leaving the place towards their hotel room immediately after hearing the results.
When coming inside the room, he felt a feeling that he had felt a before as he kept the door open for her, took a deep breath, prepared himself, and finally closed the door. 'Here we go again'
Exactly like last time the moment a click of the door was heard, Du Lan turned around to face him, yet there were no tears on her face, nor was she angry.
What was going on wasn't he going to be butchered?
¨Lan'er are you okay?¨ He asked, coming closer to her.
Du Lan didn't respond.
She took him, placed him to sit on the bed, and then herself also sat on the bed and leaned on him.
Only when it was so did she respond.
¨No I'm not okay¨ Her tone not happy or energetic.
¨During the same night, my relationship with my sister goes sour because of our relationship, and then YOU go and take another woman for yourself. HOW COULD I BE OKAY!¨ She screams.
Also now that she had screamed, Xiao Fan could finally see that she was starting to sob, tears began forming under her eyes, and a few of them were already going down her cheeks.
¨Du Lan, I'm so sorry...¨ Yet before she got more words out, he was stopped by the screaming Du Lan.
¨Do You think that saying sorry can fix this Xiao Fan!¨ However contrary to the last time she wasn't trying to threaten him with physical movements and the tone of her voice was hoarse.
Xiao Fan wasn't an emotional councillor yet could quickly note that Du Lan was beginning to resemble the girl she had been when kidnapped; she was slowly breaking down into pieces.
Not knowing anything that could fix this, he thought that better try something he had come up than to let both crumble.
He took hold of her head between his hands so that she could only be fixated on his face and eyes, and while he looked at her watery grey eyes that were screaming confusion and desperation, he spoke.
¨Du Lan, I need you¨ He confessed to her what she had confessed to him in when they were in Hefei City, stating precisely the same words he had said her.
Du Lan began to think that time when she had said so and how happy she was to have him all alone and wanted that back.
She had known this would happen someday in the future, but couldn't she at least have him solely live for her a little longer?
Yet she didn't get more time to think when Xiao Fan joined their lips together, holding her head so that she couldn't escape.
