Interstellar Era of Gossip

Chapter 8 [Don't add to the drama]

 He slowly showed an expression of humiliation.

　　Nalun coughed nonchalantly, "Thank you."

　　Xerxes was curious: "This is..."

　　"Nothing!" Nalun became alert. "This is something an injured friend asked me to buy. Do I look like a sick person?"

　　Xerxes shook his head: "Not really."

　　Nalun heaved a sigh of relief.

　　"But what you just said..."

　　Nalun blinked in confusion. "What did I say? Did I say anything? No, you misunderstood. I didn't say anything."

　　This time it was Xerxes' turn to be silent.

　　Nalun stroked his stubble and thought to himself: He is just a greasy man with a big stubble now, and even if he is embarrassed, it has nothing to do with Nalun Xia Er Wei. In extraordinary times, it is inevitable to swallow one's anger; the premise of creating chaos is not to get yourself involved.

　　"My friend is still waiting for me. He is seriously injured. I can't delay any longer. I will..."

　　Before he could even utter the word "gone", Xerxes interrupted him and said, "There are many medicinal baths in the hot spring club, which are good for healing. Maybe you can let your friend try it?"

　　Nalun waved his hand: "No, no."

　　Xerxes: "There are also medicinal bath bags. These are more convenient. You can just take them home and put them in the bathtub and soak in them."

　　Nalun shook his head vigorously.

　　Xerxes looked suspicious: "If he is really a friend, don't you want him to get better faster?"

　　Nalun wiped his tears: "Poverty makes me rational."

　　Xerxes: "..."

　　"Hello!"

　　At the side, the young actor who had been stealing the show for a long time finally couldn't hold back any longer. He rushed in between the two men, glared at Nalun first, then turned his head with a sad and angry expression, and said, "Xerxes, you should be responsible for me."

　　The Imperial Marshal thought for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"

　　The boy immediately had an expression of "Fuck you, you unfaithful man". He pulled his clothes, revealing a large red mark on his collarbone.

　　Nalun: "..." This is really too dedicated.

　　——It seems that he needs to ask Elida to give him a big red envelope.

　　"Look, this is all you left for me. Xerxes, no matter what your reasons are, you can't deny that it was me who spent the night with you."

　　The boy showed a sad and miserable smile, "I thought you would dislike me and regret it, so I didn't dare to face you when I woke up in the morning."

　　Changing the subject, his dark eyes sparkled: "But later, I saw you looking for me! I mustered up the courage to come here, but you turned out to be so cold..."

　　Xerxes: "Wait..."

　　The boy said excitedly: "No! Tell me first, why do you deny everything that happened that night?"

　　Xerxes remained silent.

　　Nalun quietly moved his feet, trying to get away from the Shura Field, but his wrist hurt and he was caught. The instigator, the Marshal who was forced to act with the drama queen, was looking forward calmly, as if he was not the one who reached out to grab the person.
