The breakfast was really bland.
It seems that the food is specially prepared for people after a hangover. Basically, it is liquid food and vegetarian food. Ge Xiu is not high in nature. He put down his knife and fork after moving a little.
And Lovett also fulfilled his promise, stuffing a strawberry candy as a reward after he finished his meal.
Rowett seems to have a full schedule today, and after the meal, he quickly said goodbye and left.
Ge Xiu, on the other hand, was dangling around in the corridor idly with candy in his mouth.
He paced slowly and leisurely, observing the building that embodies the highest architectural artistry of the empire.
The outside looks more like a castle, but inside there is a strange fusion of modern simplicity and Gothic style. The long corridors lead in all directions, and the huge and luxurious stairs connect the inside of the castle layer by layer, like a labyrinth. .
After an hour of stop-and-go, Ge Xiu felt exhausted.
Although his physical strength is not bad this time, he is indeed not very suitable for walking on land.
But in just half a day, he had already started to miss the feeling of being in the water.
—And the sugar is gone.
Ge Xiu smacked his lips in nostalgia, yawned lazily, and walked back along the path he had just taken.
His console and tablet should have been delivered to his room by now.
He felt that he had seen enough, and it was time to get down to business.
For example... Invade that research room and see how far the decoding of your own gene sequence has progressed.
Ge Xiu walked towards his room according to his memory.
In fact, the room he had been assigned to was on the same floor as Rowett's bedroom, and it could almost be considered close.
However, when he came to the room where he had only slept for one night, he suddenly fell into silence - the door was tightly closed, and there was a note on it with the words "Emergency Repair" written on it, which looked extraordinarily strange. Perfunctory.
… what the hell
Ge Xiu frowned, grabbed a passing waiter, pointed to the sign above and asked rudely, "What is going on here?"
The waiter lowered his eyes and hardly dared to look at Ge Xiu, but his speech was exceptionally smooth and clear, as if it had been rehearsed thousands of times: "Yesterday, I found that the building frame in this room was damaged, it is very likely that It caused a safety hazard, so it was temporarily repaired and closed…”
Ge Xiu raised his brows high: "Where do I live then?"
The waiter's forehead was sweating, he paused for a few seconds, and then stammered: "This, you have to ask your majesty..."
Gossiu: "..."
Under the guidance of the waiter, they walked along the winding stairs and corridors for more than ten minutes, and finally came to the door of a conference hall.
Gossi pushed open the door.
The conference hall was solemn and large, but only Rowett was sitting at the end of the long table.
It appears to be a military teleconference.
Ge Xiu captured the keywords of "war" and "casualties".
Lovett propped his cheek with one hand and listened to the reports of his subordinates on the screen with little interest.
When he saw Ge Xiu appearing at the door, he didn't seem too surprised, but a smile appeared on his lips.
Lovett cut the connection directly.
He didn't seem to feel that he had wronged the country because of his beauty, but it seemed that all this was justified, as if compared to Ge Xiu, the military conference should have been placed in a secondary position.
He leaned back a little, watched Ge Xiu walk in, and asked pleasantly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes and asked bluntly, "What happened to my room?"
Rowett replied, "Emergency repairs. Don't you see the sign?"
… crap I certainly saw the sign.
Ge Xiu gritted his teeth: "... Then where do I live?"
The smile on Lovett's lips deepened, and his dark eyes shimmered happily: "Live with me."
Ge Xiu raised his brows in disbelief: "Don't you have any other empty rooms here?"
Lovett replied without changing his face: "There is a problem with the architectural structure of the castle, most of the rooms have to be renovated, and the remaining rooms have not been maintained and tidy for too long, except for my room. live."
…
Ge Xiu's mouth twitched: "...As the emperor of the empire, is your living environment so difficult?"
Rowett nodded solemnly: "No way, the treasury is in a hurry, my people and I will naturally share weal and woe."
Gossiu: "..."
... so shameless a man.
Although he also felt that it would be better to be close to the central character of Lovett, but living together would be too close, right
He gritted his teeth: "Your bathtub is too small."
Rowett replied without hesitation: "The bathroom extension was completed this morning."
Ge Xiu raised his brows high: "But aren't you in a hurry for the treasury?"
The man opposite had a very real emotion on his face: "No matter how anxious you are, I can't make you suffer."
If you ignore the smile that flickers in his eyes, it's quite believable.
... Anyway, this is too blatant! !
Ge Xiu pursed his lips, raised his brows with some doubts, and looked at the man in front of him carefully, for a while he was not sure what the other party was thinking.
Lovett stared at the tangled appearance of the young man in front of him, the curvature of his lips gradually deepened, and his already profound facial features became more and more handsome and evil.
Gossi ran out of patience.
He tilted his head and asked in confusion, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Lovett stood up and walked towards him. He was tall with long legs and big steps, and he walked in front of Ge Xiu in almost a few seconds.
He lowered his head and stared at Ge Xiu with a pair of dark and deep eyes, as if he was carefully tracing the lines of the other's face, and all the details on his face were deeply imprinted on the bottom of his eyes. In the depths of his eyes, there was a bit of scalding heat, like magma tumbling under the ice cap, with an aggression and possessiveness that was hard to hide.
Suddenly, the smile on his lips subsided.
Luo Wei stared at his mermaid and said seriously, "Cultivate feelings."
Ge Xiu was stunned for two seconds, then asked suspiciously, "… what?"
Rowett repeated patiently: "Develop feelings."
"...Why?" Ge Xiu frowned blankly, as if he hadn't turned the corner for a while.
Lovett smiled, and seemed to think that the other party looked very cute now: "How can the emperor and his partner get married if they have no feelings?"
Gossiu: "..."
ha
This was the first time he had this kind of confusion and dizzy feeling.
The previous conversation with Christine and the vague kiss in his memory made him determine that Lovett's existence may be related to the core of his trial and punishment, but... Who would have thought that he was so direct!
And also... is he being proposed
Ge Xiu's mind went blank, staring at the man who was just a short distance away, as if he was still slowly digesting this huge amount of information.
Lovett stared at the froze boy, and looked at the other party's expression as if struck by lightning with interest, his eyes were as dark as night, and there was a faint smile on his lips.
He never bothered to hide his desires.
Painful and sweet taboo crushes, secret emotions of wanting to say goodbye, did not exist in his dictionary at all.
Whether it is the throne or territory, if you want it, grab it.
Even now.
Now that he has determined his mind, there is no need for him to shrink back and avoid it. As for whether he can marry a mermaid, what will the Congress and the public think, these are completely out of Rowett's consideration.
The only thing he wasn't sure about was whether Ghosh would like to.
If the law doesn't allow it, change it.
If anyone opposes it, kill it.
But if Ge Xiu is unwilling, Lovett has nothing to do, not to mention that the opponent's current force value is completely beyond his imagination, even if he uses the army and high technology to force the mermaid to stay, he can't force the other party to like him.
And according to Rowett's understanding of Ge Xiu, such coercion and plundering will inevitably lead to doubly fierce counterattacks,
And... he couldn't bear it either.
He was reluctant to see those blue-purple eyes occupied by hatred and hostility, and he was even more reluctant to watch his mermaid melancholy and wither in the cage.
Lovett never thought that he was such a sentimental person emotionally.
But he really did not want to see this scene happen.
Therefore, after returning the mermaid who had fallen asleep due to drunkenness to the bed last night, he stared at the sleeping profile of the other party and stayed up all night.
After much deliberation, he made a decision.
Lovett stared deeply into the other's eyes, and the shadow cast by the tall figure shrouded the other's slender figure.
He said slowly:
"Let's make a bet, shall we?"
Lovett raised his hand and rubbed Ge Xiu's side face, his warm fingers slid across the cold and soft skin, gently stroking along the arc of his lower jaw.
His voice was low and deep, with a slight hoarseness:
"Three months. You stay with me for three months, and if you still don't have any feelings for me, I'll throw in the towel and let you go back to the sea."
The mermaid's pupils narrowed slightly.
Lovett's gaze was calm and deep, and the dark eyes in the deep eye sockets were like abyss, and there was a certain drag force:
"But if I win, you marry me."
Become his only recognized companion, and the second ruler of the empire.
Lovett asked in a low voice, "Will you bet?"
He stretched out his right hand to Gexiu, his knuckles slender and powerful.
- The first to be tempted is the loser. In this gamble, he has already fallen behind.
In this case, then simply bet everything, bet on love and the rest of your life, freedom and the sea.
Make a big gamble with no way out, in order to earn even the slightest fascination and look back from the other party.
Lovett's palm stayed in the air, as if waiting for something.
Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the man in front of him in confusion.
He found that he couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking.
Why does he want his own emotions
It is the iron law and general rule of the world to obtain the greatest benefit at a very small price.
So... why would Rowett put up an almost guaranteed bet
-interesting.
Ge Xiu's eyes slowly lit up, like a child who discovered a new toy, full of pure excitement and curiosity, a bit of wild madness jumping in his eyes, like a fire ignited by hunting.
He raised his lips and put his hand into Lovett's dangling palm.
The man's palm was warm and hot, his powerful fingers wrapped around his, and the icy skin pressed against it, like melting snow falling into boiling magma, and the opponent's strength clearly came from the touching skin.
The two men shook hands solemnly.
-"make a deal."
