Ge Xiu glanced down at his hand.
The scalding temperature of human beings still seems to stay on the surface of the skin, and the clear temperature change cannot leave for a long time even after the other party releases his hand.
He clenched his palms and let his body temperature return to normal.
Lovett turned and walked towards the seat before him.
Ge Xiu raised his head and walked after him.
He asked curiously: "So...what are the rules? Except for this time I'm going to live with you in everything?"
Lovett took his seat again and raised his eyebrows casually: "There are no rules, and you don't have to live with me. If you really don't like it, I don't mind moving in with you."
Ge Xiu: "?"
Lovett raised the corners of his lips: "Your pool is being expanded, as long as the designer makes some changes, we can discuss these details in detail later."
That's not the same as living with you.
Gossi rolled his eyes.
With his hands on the table, he jumped up, shaking his two slender calves, and continued to ask the bottom line:
"Are there any restrictions on me? Like, what can't I do? Or can't ask for something?"
Lovett shook his head. "No. You can do whatever you want, and ask for whatever you want."
Ge Xiu raised his brows suspiciously: "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Lovett didn't hesitate.
Ge Xiu provoked a pure smile, but there was some blatant provocation in his expression: "Are you holding a military meeting? Can I watch it?"
Lovett looked at him with a smile: "Okay."
Ge Xiu tilted his head: "Aren't you afraid that I am a military spy?"
Lovett looked at him calmly: "are you?"
"I may be." Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes and said noncommittally.
Lovett smiled, his dark eyes sparkling: "Congratulations, you have successfully entered the decision-making level."
He said, and reopened the communicator.
The faces of the generals and subordinates once again appeared on the huge screen. Although they were a little confused, they were obviously used to the uncertainty of the emperor, so they remained the same even after the disconnection for so long.
However, they really did not expect that after the communication reconnection, there would be one more person by His Majesty's side.
An unfamiliar young man with an astonishing face sat on the table, dangling his legs, looking at the scene in front of him curiously.
The air fell silent for a while.
Finally, a general who seemed to be quite experienced opened his mouth carefully, and said vaguely, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Who is this?"
Rowett lifted his eyelids and said lazily, "Go on."
"Yes, but, this is a high-level confidential meeting..."
Before the other party finished speaking, Lovett raised his eyes and looked at him, his dark eyes were unpredictable, and he slowly accentuated:
"-continue."
There was no threat in his voice, but it was chilling all over.
The general who raised the objection just now shivered all over, he bowed his head shrinkingly, and continued to report on the content just now.
Obviously, this meeting is related to the ongoing war of expansion outside the Empire.
The assassin who had previously assassinated the Emperor at the ball was captured alive and confessed that he was serving an enemy country at war with the Empire. Their royal family had fallen into a desperate situation, so they desperately hoped to save the defeat by killing Rowett, but it was very difficult. Obviously, their attempt failed.
Ge Xiu closed his eyes slightly, listening with little interest.
The war on the front line is obviously beneficial to the empire, but due to the strong sense of resistance of the opponent, the strong layout of the defense line, and the backup of new weapons, the advance of the front line is very slow.
He yawned and suddenly interrupted the general's continuous flow on the screen:
"Where's the map?"
The general stopped abruptly, he gritted his teeth, and sullenly called out the map of the war zone he was in charge of.
Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes and scanned it, and then asked again, "What about the satellite real-time image?"
The general raised his eyebrows: "The enemy country is equipped with advanced shielding devices. The satellite can only photograph the outer layer of the enemy's defense line, and there is no..."
Lovett raised his eyes lightly.
The general shivered, lowered his head again, dared not to speak, and obediently called up the real-time image of the satellite and enlarged it on the screen.
Ge Xiu glanced at the map on the screen, then grabbed a pen on the conference table and jumped off the table.
He walked to the screen, his eyes circled twice between the map and the real-time image, then opened the cap and drew a few circles at random on several areas on the map:
"The weakness is here."
Ge Xiu yawned and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
As if weary of the meeting in front of him, he turned and walked out without hesitation.
Before passing by the conference table, Ge Xiu threw the pen back on the table, the metal pen slammed into the table and made a crisp sound, and rolled away into the distance.
Just before it fell from the edge, the pen was suddenly held down by a slender hand.
Lovett picked up the pen, rubbed and played with it lightly with his fingers, narrowed his eyes with interest, and watched Ge Xiu's receding back.
The voices of the generals with hidden anger came from the screen: "Your Majesty..."
Rowett interrupted him, with an unmistakable tyranny in his tone:
"Do as he says."
Since His Majesty the Emperor has spoken, no one dares to object at all.
This military meeting ended hastily.
Rowett stood up and walked towards the outside of the conference room, soon catching up with Ge Xiu, who was walking slowly along the corridor.
He turned his head and asked, "What? Not interested?"
Ge Xiu shrugged: "Your advantages are too obvious. There is basically no suspense in the ending of this war. How boring."
The counterattack in the desperate situation and the surprise attack when the ammunition and food are exhausted can be a little more interesting.
If in this world, he was in the camp of the opposite country, it would be fun to play, and such an overwhelming victory was really not to his taste.
Rowett smiled: "You seem to have a lot of research, is there also a war in the sea?"
Ge Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and answered ambiguously, "As long as there is life, there will be war and killing."
Lovett's eyes deepened, he raised his hand and brushed the blue-purple hair of Ge Xiu gently, and said softly:
"You are such a mystery."
Gossiu replied with a sneer.
He shook his head, pulled the hair on the back of his head out of the opponent's hand, yawned, and said unseen:
"I want to go back into the water."
Lovett raised his lips: "It will take some time to expand the bathroom and renovate the glass room. If you don't mind, there is a swimming pool for me on the top floor."
Ge Xiu shrugged: "Okay."
At this moment, he suddenly stopped, tilted his head and glanced at Rowett, then spread out his slender arms, and said in a natural tone:
"I'm too lazy to go."
Lovett was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened, he stepped forward, bent over and said:
"As ordered."
Ge Xiu was really tired from walking.
His feet were not adapted to walking on land for a long time, and they were aching now, but this was not the reason why he had to be carried upstairs.
To be precise... Gossiu was just curious.
He was very curious about Rowett's saying, "Do what you want, ask what you want". Where are the boundaries and restrictions
Ge Xiu raised his eyes and fixedly stared at the curve of the man's jaw.
The chest against which the cheeks were pressed was firm and warm. With the breathing up and down evenly, the beating of the heart could be heard in the chest of the other party. The body temperature different from the mermaid wrapped him in it, and it was warm to the point of being a little hot.
You can watch military meetings, you can drive him under his orders...
Besides, what else can be done
Ge Xiu blinked, his eyes flashing with interest.
The top floor is sunny.
Without the cover of the top glass, the gentle breeze blows, bringing the faint fragrance of tulips, and the golden warm sunlight pours down from the top of the head, flashing on the blue water of the swimming pool, spreading bright flashes.
The pool is really big, taking up almost half of the top floor.
The water vapour floated in the air with a pleasant moistness.
The rippling water in front of you is almost irresistible.
—Especially for a merman.
Ghosh broke free of Rowett's arm, threw off his coat and shoes, and threw himself into the pool impatiently.
Lovett rubbed his fingers regretfully, recalled the cold and soft touch on the mermaid just now, and couldn't help but regret that he didn't walk any slower.
"Thorn-"
An ear-piercing tearing sound of fabric sounded, and the blue-purple fishtail broke through the clothes and was dyed with a layer of dripping water, shimmering with a metallic luster in the sun.
Ge Xiu turned his head to look at his tail, only to realize that he had broken another pair of pants.
He looked at Lovett who was standing by the pool and whispered:
"… I forgot."
Lovett laughed out loud: "I'll have someone send you another set later."
Gossi was relieved.
He raised his hand and untied the hair tie on his head, and threw it ashore together with the broken clothes floating on the water. The long wet blue-purple hair spread out on his shoulders and floated below the water.
Ge Xiu plunged his head into the water, and a few seconds later stuck his head out at the other end of the pool.
Lovett narrowed his eyes, watching the merman in the distance.
The dazzling sunlight fell on him, outlining his thin shoulders and slender arms, and the concave spine lines gracefully extended into the pool. In the blue swaying water waves, his complexion became more and more white, as if shining brightly. .
His Adam's apple moved, and there was a dim light in his eyes.
Rowett raised his hand and slowly unbuttoned the buttons one by one, the shirt placket gradually spread out, revealing a chest with clear lines and clear texture.
Ge corrected himself after a good swim.
He raised his hand and pulled the hair from his forehead back, and was stunned when he saw Lovett: "What are you doing?"
"Swimming." Rowett replied without changing his face.
Ge Xiu blinked, some did not respond.
Lovett threw his shirt aside, made a gesture to the attendant in the distance, and then strode towards the locker room, before turning around, he gave Ge Xiu a narrow smile: "This is my swimming pool too, not ?"
