Chapter 27
【Going crazy, going crazy, going crazy, going crazy... Ahhhhhhhhhh...】
Rufeite mentally screamed as he struggled to hold up his pants. After staring at Anno for a few seconds, he realized he couldn't relieve himself at all. Under Anno's steady gaze, Rufeite quietly shuffled over to Yunxiu's side. Yunxiu, who had already taken care of his business, looked at him with confusion. "Why are you coming over here? Didn't you assign a tree for yourself?"
Anno's eyes narrowed, as if he could pierce a hole through Rufeite's back. Rufeite could only manage a weak explanation. "I think your tree and I have a more compatible aura. Yes, that's it."
Yunxiu raised an eyebrow, speechless.
Anno nearly laughed out loud, desperately suppressing the urge to rub Rufeite's head. What goes on in this guy's mind all day long?
With his back turned, Rufeite attempted to relieve himself but ended up fumbling about. Meanwhile, Anno unbuttoned his pants, joining him in the awkwardness. Both of them had been holding it in for far too long, resulting in an unusually prolonged moment of relief.
The woods were peaceful, with only the distant chatter of people on the tarmac breaking the silence.
As the three of them stood in their own little world, Yunxiu pondered the awkward dynamic between Rufeite and Anno. Aren't brothers supposed to bond during moments like this? The tension was palpable, and he couldn't quite understand why it felt so strange between them.
Rufeite and Anno were acutely aware of the silence. Anno maintained his calm demeanor, but Rufeite lacked any sense of propriety. "Draw a circle," he blurted out, shaking his little brother, prompting a bewildered silence from both Anno and Yunxiu.
What kind of person says something like that?! Anno could only respond with an exasperated eye roll.
After finishing, Rufeite straightened his robe while Anno turned away to adjust his clothes. The sound of approaching footsteps from the woods made Rufeite whisper, "It's okay. This is the tradition of the Silver Emperor's helipad. It's a pure natural bathroom."
Yunxiu blinked, his curiosity piqued. "What about that woman?"
Rufeite shrugged. "She can squat if she wants. But I have no objections if she wants to stand."
Yunxiu's face paled slightly. Will I die if I pee here too?
The Silver Emperor was a star without a name, just one of over sixty small celestial bodies in the Hades galaxy. Only the more significant ones were named, while the one closest to the Golden Emperor was informally dubbed the Silver Emperor due to its proximity.
The stark contrast between the two stars was striking; the Golden Emperor served as the commercial and financial hub of Hades, while the Silver Emperor had become the most expensive and prosperous residential area, mainly due to its closeness to the core of Hades.
The land in the Silver Emperor was the priciest across the entire galaxy. Conservative estimates suggested that most of its residents belonged to the top 2,000 wealthiest citizens of Hades, illustrating just how elite this habitable planet was.
Rufeite had brought Anno here ahead of a business meeting planned for several days later because he owned a small house in the Silver Emperor. He intended to spend some time with Anno, hoping to cultivate their relationship. However, he never anticipated that a love-stricken Yunxiu would join them, and Anno seemed intent on not leaving Yunxiu behind.
The trio boarded the maglev from the tarmac. Embarrassment flushed Yunxiu's cheeks as he entered the car. "I hope I'm not too much of a disturbance. I just want to find Garner quickly. As soon as I confirm my feelings, I'll leave immediately..."
