No one noticed, except for Wan Lie. Yes, for some reason since entering the inn, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Alright, please enjoy your time. If you need anything, I'm always downstairs," the innkeeper said goodbye to Huang Bao.

​​

"Thank you again," said Huang Bao again.

After the innkeeper left, everyone immediately followed Gu Yi into the same room where the man was now. The Man is putting Fu Xie Lan's body carefully.

"Huang Bao, check her condition," Gu Yi ordered and the old man immediately complied.

"Alright, son," he replied, and then he is checking his student condition. His voice this time was not big, not too small so that everyone in the room could hear it. He deliberately changed the call he pinned to that Man so that his disguise would not be exposed.

Gu Yi just nodded at Huang Bao's words. And after that, he asked everyone to leave the room.

Wan Lie walked to the side of the window and opened it to let air in to fill the room.

"You're out too."

"But, Daddy, I..."

"It's okay, leave your mother with me. You should rest too," Gu Yi said to Wan Lie. The two of them still felt a bit awkward, especially when it was Wan Lie who suddenly called out daddy to Gu Yi. Everything is still very new.

"Now, get out before your mother wakes up," Gu Yi said again.

"But why? I also want to wait..."

"I don't want any other man here when she comes back to her senses besides me," Gu Yi interrupted again. Let's say he's a little selfish.

Hearing that, Wan Lie snorted. Did his father have this trait? that man is a little too much. Even though he also has rights over his mother.

With unsteady steps and a sour face, Wan Lie move and opened the bedroom door, and at that moment his movements stopped.

the other three, namely Huang Bao, Ju Xian, and Xue Ning, were standing there in front of the door as if waiting for him.

Seeing that, Wan Lie ignored them and quickly left.

"I use this room," he said while standing in front of the door of the room next to Fu Xie Lan's room.

"Don't bother me," he added and immediately entered the room.

"You should also rest," Huang Bao said to Xue Ning and Ju Xian.

Ju Xian who heard that immediately nodded and left from there, stepping into a different room. As for Xue Ning, the girl didn't move in her place and instead turned to look at Huang Bao who was about to leave the place.

"Elder, where are you going?"

Hearing this, Huang Bao immediately turned to the source of the voice.

"Ah, I want to go back to Phoenix Academy. Maybe tonight I'll be here again."

"Okay, take care," Xue Ning said then walked into the room opposite Wan Lie's room to rest.

.

.

.

It was already evening, an orange tinge began to slowly appear to fill the horizon, the afternoon breeze was blowing, bringing a little heat but still able to give a slightly cool sensation.

Fu Xie Lan sat leaning on the edge of the bed staring blankly at the open window. The girl woke up a few minutes ago, even so, she still seemed reluctant to make a sound. Even though Gu Yi had asked her to talk but the girl just ignored him.

Maybe because she felt a little strange about herself, it felt like she had been connected by something, but what? No matter how hard she thought, Fu Xie Lan couldn't find the thing that bothered her so much.

"Where are the others?" asked the girl after a long silence.

"In their respective rooms, resting maybe?" Gu Yi replied.

"What is wrong? I've been talking to you since earlier but you just ignored me."

"Really? I didn't notice," Fu Xie Lan replied.

Gu Yi just exhaled roughly and walked closer to the girl. Seeing that, Hao who was previously curled up lazily next to Fu Xie Lan immediately jumped up and looked for a safe place for him.

"How are you feeling, Queen?" Gu Yi asked as he sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I do not know."

One of Gu Yi's eyebrows rose, the image of the woman's previous words still ringing in his ears.

"Is anyone sick?" Gu Yi asked.

"Nothing, it's just..."

"It is just?" the man interrupted and didn't wait for Fu Xie Lan to finish her sentence.

"I don't know, I feel... ah I'm very hard to explain," replied the girl.

"At least your body isn't in pain anymore, then it will be fine," said Gu Yi.

Fu Xie Lan nodded in response to the man's words. Don't forget that the girl previously told her about everything that happened to her when they were still in Kanca City.

"Ah yes, where are Huang Bao and Xue Ning are in? Their things are here," she said, standing up immediately and walking towards the door.

However, she who had stood up from her position was suddenly pulled back by Gu Yi so that she accidentally sat on the man's lap. Fu Xie Lan wanted to stand up immediately but the strong hands circled and hugged her from behind.

As if not feeling guilty, the man rested his chin on the girl's shoulder, even his warm breath tickled her neck through the gaps of her long hair.

"Just stay here. They will meet you automatically when they need them. They shouldn't bother my woman anyway," Gu Yi whispered sensually, inhaling Fu Xie Lan's scent deeply with his eyes tightly closed as if he was enjoying it.

"Since when did I become your woman?" Fu Xie Lan protested trying to escape from the man's embrace.

Hearing Gu Yi claiming herself as belonging to that man-made Fu Xie Lan's heart skip a beat, and a bright red blush filled her cheeks.

Knowing that her attempt to escape the man's entanglement was futile, Fu Xie Lan stopped what she was doing and waited for the man to release her body.

"I don't know what to call you," said Fu Xie Lan, who suddenly realized that until now she didn't know the man's name.

Hearing Fu Xie Lan's voice, Gu Yi's tightly closed eyelids opened slowly. "You can call me honey, or my husband can too, I don't mind at all," said the man with a nosy smile.

"Don't joke, I'm serious," Fu Xie Lan said with a rough sigh.

"Gu Yi. You can call me by that name," he said later.
