Fu Xing’s breath caught, and a reckless impulse surged from deep within him, compelling him to pin the person beside him down.
He reached out, but his hand passed through Lin Fu’s shapely body, grabbing nothing but air.
Fu Xing closed his eyes and sighed, his voice faintly hoarse with a hint of restrained breaths, as if his faintly trailing words were a hook, catching one’s soul and making it flutter.
With his eyes closed, Fu Xing lay quietly beside Lin Fu, listening to the enthralling sound of her breathing. His handsome features revealed an uncharacteristic hint of heartbreaking power.
His fingertips gently caressed the air, as if savoring a past sensation of smooth, soft contact.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the time, and forced himself out of his brief lapse into indulgence, to regain his sense of rational calmness as he sat up.
Before he could say anything, a fist-sized sphere suddenly rolled out from the blanket, speaking in a cheeky voice "Ah ah ah!!! Is this a scene I, a Mecha, should see? Should I sign up for a membership?"
Lin Fu was startled awake by the sound. Confused, she opened her eyes to find Fu Xing sitting beside her, looking down at her, and suddenly she was wide awake.
Turning her gaze towards the source of the voice, she saw a sphere bouncing up from the bed, flying right in front of her eyes.
With cartoonish eyes that spun around, the sphere gave off a mischievously sly vibe.
All in all, it was thoroughly cheeky.
Moreover, since it had jumped out from Fu Xing’s covers, it was hard not to let one’s imagination wander.
"This... you... you guys?"
Fu Xing’s handsome face turned an ashen hue; he was feeling an immediate urge to crush Ah Fu right then and there.
"Ah Fu!" he called out in warning.
Lin Fu and Ah Fu responded at the same time, falling into a strange atmosphere along with the intelligent being.
Fu Xing rubbed his temple with a headache, wishing to immediately lock Ah Fu in a spiritual cage, but doing so now seemed somehow self-conscious, and that was what he didn’t want.
"What is that? Is it also called Ah Foo?" Lin Fu was intrigued by the sly sphere and naturally turned to Fu Xing with a coquettish tilt, "Fu Xing, is this your mechanical pet? Hurry up and introduce me."
Fu Xing’s heart softened, and he found himself unable to refuse.
However, before he could introduce it, Ah Fu already burst into an eager cheer and began to chatter, "I am Ah Fu, Fu as in ’fortune.’ Are you Little Fuxing’s newlywed Lady? Wow... you’re so beautiful, with a great figure, small waist, long legs, and a big chest; Little Fuxing is lucky... Ouch!"
Ah Fu was sent flying by Fu Xing’s punch before he could finish, crashing into the wall and then bouncing back unscathed.
"Little Fuxing, you ungrateful child, have you forgotten what you promised your father? You said you would treat me kindly, sniff sniff... undutiful son, how my heart aches."
"Oh! I’ll stop crying, hehehe... I was just pretending."
Fu Xing’s face turned green with irritation, his powerful spiritual power instantly forming a cage and trapping Ah Fu.
Lin Fu had only managed to feel embarrassed for a second before the subsequent turn of events left her dumbfounded. At the same time, she watched Fu Xing with a puzzled gaze, surprised to find that the aloof Commander could also have uncomfortable moments.
And his ears were even turning red!
This discovery filled Lin Fu with delight, and she secretly chuckled to herself.
Little Fuxing—Little Lucky Star?
Hahaha... how adorable!
Lin Fu’s heart was nearly melting from the cuteness.
However, to avoid ending up like Ah Fu, Lin Fu wisely held back, pretending to notice nothing, but feeling much more relaxed and free of the estrangement and annoyance from the night before.
