#639 - Bai Xiuxiu in action

"Oh, Xiu Xiu you..."

Qingque heard this and glanced at Bai Xiuxiu with a complicated expression, a hint of something unreadable flashing in her eyes. Her gaze lingered on Bai Xiuxiu's face for a moment, as if trying to read something from her expression.

However, Bai Xiuxiu's expression remained calm, only a hint of determination and expectation faintly visible in her deep blue eyes.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. A subtle silence filled the air, as if even the sound of breathing became clearly audible.

Qingque's brow furrowed slightly, as if weighing something. Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of her sleeve, her mind filled with thoughts.

After a long time, just as a hint of disappointment began to appear in Bai Xiuxiu's eyes, Qingque finally spoke. Her voice was low and slow, with a hint of hesitation and probing: "Xiuxiu, I can promise you. But you have to promise me, this really won't hurt anyone else, will it?"

Bai Xiuxiu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She raised her head and looked at Qingque with a firm gaze, her deep blue eyes full of seriousness: "Don't worry, absolutely no one will get hurt because of this."

Qingque was silent for a moment, as if considering whether Bai Xiuxiu's words were credible. Her gaze fell on Bai Xiuxiu's face again, trying to find a trace of flaw in her expression. However, Bai Xiuxiu's expression remained frank, without the slightest hint of evasion.

"Just distracting Xiaoyan for one night is enough?" Qingque finally spoke again, her tone with a hint of probing.

"Yes." Bai Xiuxiu nodded, her tone firm, "Just keep Xiaoyan away from this mansion tonight."

"Okay, then I'll suggest to Lord Fusheng tonight that he take me and Xiaoyan out for the night," Qingque nodded slightly, making a decision.

"Ah? Wait!"

Bai Xiuxiu suddenly interrupted Qingque, her tone with a hint of panic. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, seeming a little afraid to look directly at Qingque. Her fingers twisted together unconsciously, and her voice became a little hesitant: "That, Fusheng should stay in this mansion."

Qingque's eyes flashed with a sly light when she heard this. Her voice suddenly became meaningful, with a hint of teasing: "Oh~ So you want me to take Xiaoyan away and leave Lord Fusheng in this mansion~"

Bai Xiuxiu's cheeks immediately became more flushed, as if Qingque's words had hit her heart. Her head drooped even lower, and her voice became as thin as a mosquito's hum: "Yes... that's right."

Qingque looked at Bai Xiuxiu like this and couldn't help but chuckle. She shook her head and said, "Okay, since you said so, then I'll do it. But, Xiuxiu, you have to think carefully, some things, once done, there's no turning back."

Bai Xiuxiu heard this and looked up at Qingque, a complex look flashing in her eyes. Her lips moved slightly, as if wanting to say something, but in the end, she remained silent. Her gaze became firm again, as if she had made up her mind.

Seeing this, Qingque didn't ask any further. She sighed softly, reached out and patted Bai Xiuxiu's shoulder, her tone with a hint of comfort: "Okay, it looks like I can't dissuade you. But I can't guarantee that I'll be able to persuade Xiaoyan tonight."

Bai Xiuxiu nodded, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Thank you, Qingque."

Qingque smiled slightly and turned to leave the room. Her back looked particularly slender in the dim light, as if carrying a hint of determination.

Bai Xiuxiu looked at her back, a complex emotion welling up in her heart. There was gratitude, and also a hint of apology.

But there was no way around it. The time she had promised Augustus was approaching, but her relationship with Nan Fusheng had not made much progress.

Of the three tasks Augustus had given her, only obtaining Nan Fusheng's life energy was the most likely, the other two were dead ends.

In order to complete the task, Bai Xiuxiu had also humbled herself and carefully probed Nan Fusheng. She dressed carefully, used all her charms, and tried to attract him with her feminine charm, hoping to use this to narrow the distance between them and complete the task.

But Nan Fusheng was like a hard rock, able to remain unmoved in the face of her deliberate seduction.

No matter how she used her methods, the other party always maintained an helpless woodenness and slowness, like a steel straight man who didn't understand the customs, turning a blind eye to her hints and flattery.

One rebuff after another made Bai Xiuxiu feel deeply helpless. Under the pressure of this tight deadline, she racked her brains and finally had to harden her heart and resort to this strategy.

As for obtaining life energy in other ways, it wasn't that Bai Xiuxiu hadn't thought about it, but without exception, those methods could hurt Nan Fusheng.

In all fairness, Bai Xiuxiu was not an ungrateful person. When she was almost executed by Aqua, it was Nan Fusheng who spoke out and saved her, so Bai Xiuxiu still had gratitude in her heart for Nan Fusheng.

"Just consider it repaying his kindness. He saved me back then, now it's a tit for tat," Bai Xiuxiu thought to herself.

...

Night was as dark as ink, quietly enveloping the entire mansion. Bai Xiuxiu stood in front of the window, taking a deep breath, as if to suppress all the tension and unease in her heart.

The moonlight outside the window shone on her face, reflecting a cold glow. Her eyes looked through the window at the distant dim sky, her mind filled with thoughts.

"I wonder how Qingque told Xiaoyan, that she was able to persuade Xiaoyan to go shopping with her late at night," Bai Xiuxiu muttered to herself, her tone with a hint of doubt and emotion.

"Forget it, since Qingque has helped me create the opportunity, then I must not fail."

The light in the corridor was dim, reflecting her slender figure. Her footsteps echoed in the silent corridor, appearing particularly clear.

When passing by Nahida's room, Bai Xiuxiu subconsciously slowed down. Her heart beat slightly faster, and a trace of cold sweat could not help but ooze from her palms.

She knew very well that her little movements were completely undisguised under Nahida's quasi-god-level strength. If Nahida really wanted to stop her, then tonight's plan would probably be ruined.

So, she could only gamble, gambling that what Qingque said was true, that Nahida really wouldn't interfere in Nan Fusheng's private life.

"Tap tap!"

Step by step, Bai Xiuxiu's footsteps moved slowly along the corridor. Her heart beat faster with each step, as if it would jump out of her chest at any moment. Her eyes were fixed on the front, but her ears were pricked up, paying attention to the movement in Nahida's room at all times.

However, there was no movement in Nahida's room, no reprimand as expected, and no figure to stop her. Bai Xiuxiu's heart relaxed slightly, but her steps were still cautious, for fear of alarming something.

Soon, Bai Xiuxiu arrived in front of Nan Fusheng's door. She stood in front of the door, taking a deep breath, as if to gather all her courage at this moment. Her hand gently rested on the doorknob, her fingertips trembling slightly.

As long as she opened this door, everything would be irreversible.

"I can't hesitate any longer," Bai Xiuxiu said to herself in her heart. A trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and her fingers exerted a little force, and the doorknob turned slowly.

"Click--"

The sound of the door lock opening softly was particularly ear-piercing in the silent corridor.

Bai Xiuxiu's heart beat suddenly accelerated, as if it would jump out of her throat. She gently pushed open the door, and a faint ray of light shone through the crack in the door. Her figure quietly disappeared into the door, as if blending into that dim light and shadow.

The door closed gently behind her, making a faint sound that was almost inaudible. Bai Xiuxiu stood in Nan Fusheng's room, her eyes swept over the furnishings in the room, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.

The layout of the room was simple and elegant, and the air was filled with a faint sandalwood fragrance, as if it could calm people's minds.

However, Bai Xiuxiu could not calm down at this moment, her heart beating rapidly like a drum, and her palms were slightly sweaty. She subconsciously held her breath and tiptoed to the bed.

Nan Fusheng was lying quietly on the bed, breathing steadily, his face peaceful. The moonlight shone on his face through the cracks in the curtains, reflecting a soft halo.

Bai Xiuxiu's eyes lingered on his sleeping face for a moment, a trace of hesitation and struggle flashing in her eyes. However, she soon made up her mind.

Bai Xiuxiu pursed her lips, her fingers gently flicked, and the white robe on her body quietly slipped off, her fair skin appearing particularly soft and beautiful in the moonlight. The next second, she leaned over and slipped into Nan Fusheng's quilt.

"Who!"

Although Bai Xiuxiu's movements were gentle, such obvious movements easily woke Nan Fusheng. His voice was low and alert, with a hint of hoarseness from just waking up.

In fact, Nan Fusheng had already noticed her presence since Bai Xiuxiu approached the room. But because he was curious about what this little shark was going to do, Nan Fusheng temporarily chose to stand still.

"It's me."

Bai Xiuxiu's vermilion lips parted slightly, her voice soft and melodious. However, the voice that came out of her mouth was the voice of [Xu Xiaoyan]. The voice was almost identical to Xu Xiaoyan herself, even the tone and intonation were flawless.

Having been in the human world for so long, Bai Xiuxiu was not idle except for working in the Governor's mansion and shopping with Qingque. She knew her situation in this world, so she had been working hard to improve herself.

Among them, she had a deep understanding and learning of the various changes in the human world, Douluo Armor, Soul Guidance Device, various combat skills, etc.

The voice imitation technique she was using at the moment was the result of her special practice in the past month. She spent a lot of time and energy imitating Xu Xiaoyan's voice, tone, and even the rhythm of her breathing, just to come in handy at critical moments.

Nan Fusheng frowned slightly when he heard the familiar voice, and the alertness in his eyes faded slightly. His eyes searched in the darkness, trying to see the figure in front of him clearly.

However, the light in the room was too dim, he could only vaguely see a blurred outline.

"Xiaoyan?" Nan Fusheng's voice was with a hint of doubt and uncertainty, "Didn't you go shopping with Qingque?"

"Well, but Qingque seemed to have something to deal with, so we came back first."

Bai Xiuxiu gently pressed her body close to Nan Fusheng, wrapped her arms around his waist, and rested her head on his chest. Her movements were gentle and natural, as if all this was taken for granted.

"Is that so, then let's sleep."

Nan Fusheng did not seem to have any suspicion of [Xu Xiaoyan], just subconsciously touched her head, his movements gentle and doting. Then he hugged her in his arms, just like he usually treated the real Xu Xiaoyan, treating her as a warm large pillow.

Bai Xiuxiu closed her eyes, feeling the rise and fall of Nan Fusheng's chest, but her heart was like a surging tide, difficult to calm down. Her fingers gently grabbed his clothes, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if silently telling the struggle and unease in her heart.

She knew that her behavior at this moment was full of deception, but she could not stop.

"Fusheng..." Bai Xiuxiu called softly, her voice with a hint of probing and hesitation.

"Hmm?" Nan Fusheng's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of exhaustion.

Bai Xiuxiu took a deep breath, as if to gather all her courage at this moment. Her fingers gently stroked his cheeks, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if probing something. Her voice was so low that it could hardly be heard, but it was with a hint of firmness: "I... I like you."

"Hmm, I like you too."

Nan Fusheng's palm gently stroked her back, his movements gentle and comforting. His voice was low, with a hint of exhaustion, but full of concern: "Xiaoyan, you're a little strange today... Did something happen?"

Bai Xiuxiu's heart tightened, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment. Countless thoughts flashed quickly in her mind.

In the end, Bai Xiuxiu shook her head gently, her voice so low that it could hardly be heard: "It's nothing... I just suddenly wanted to say that."

After a while.

"Fusheng..." Bai Xiuxiu called softly again.

"Hmm? I'm here." Nan Fusheng patted [Xu Xiaoyan]'s smooth back, comforting her.

Bai Xiuxiu wrapped her arms around Nan Fusheng's neck, hugged him, and blew air into his ear: "Love me."
