The River Gods Bridegroom

This… this was simply scandalous, outrageous, and utterly baffling?!

I immediately swung a slap right at him.

But as if he had some sixth sense, Xie Yu effortlessly caught my wrist.

I frowned and glared at him. “Xie Yu! Care to explain?”

Xie Yu squinted, his eyelids only half-open.

His eyes were filled with the lingering drowsiness of sleep.

Seeing that I was about to puff up like a pufferfish from anger, the corners of his lips curled up as he drawled, “I didn’t expect… that when you sleepwalk, you’d be so…”

He leaned down, bringing his face close to my ear, his breath warm and intimate.

“Passionate and fiery.”

I blew my top again.

With a quick, fish-like flip, I scrambled out of bed, ready to storm off.

*Waaah…* My thousand-year-old reputation as a River God has been utterly ruined in a single day!

I don’t want to live anymore.

But Xie Yu grabbed my arm and spoke again.

“I’m teasing you.”

I let out a sigh of relief.

Xie Yu: “You just suddenly crawled onto my sofa in the middle of the night and wrapped your arms around my waist, refusing to let go.”

Me: “I don’t believe you.”

Xie Yu: “Well, it’s not like I carried you over here myself, right?

“Ze Quan, sleepwalking isn’t an illness. There’s no need to be embarrassed.”

It wasn’t the sleepwalking itself that embarrassed me.

It was the fact that, on top of sleepwalking, I had actually initiated hugging a man!

I glared at him. “This stays between us. Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know.”

Resting his head on his arms, Xie Yu smiled lazily. “If you want to buy my silence, shouldn’t you show some sincerity?”

Me: “I’m just a broke deity, and you’re a trust-fund baby from generations of wealth. How do you have the nerve to blackmail me?”

Xie Yu: “That’s exactly how trust-fund babies get their money.”

I suddenly remembered the girl from yesterday.

“Yesterday… didn’t you say you were going to consider that girl?”

Just as Xie Yu was about to speak, there was a loud knock on the bedroom door.

The girl from yesterday shouted furiously from outside, “Xie Yu! And that little vixen inside! Get the hell out here!”
