Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202: Like Master like Disciples

Ignoring the comment, Han Xin continued up the stairs and into his bedroom. He unbuttoned his shirt, tossing it aside when he suddenly remembered he had forgotten to tell the butler to have someone clean the bathroom. He had been trying to immerse himself in his work to forget about what happened with Xiang Yu, and it had slipped his mind. He sighed, running a hand through his hair.

He picked up the shirt he had tossed on the bed, slipping it back on as he prepared to call the butler. He needed someone to come up and clean the bathroom. Sharing his personal space was something he rarely tolerated, not even with his cousin. This was why he had told Xiang Yu to keep the clothes he had given him.

Glancing at the digital clock on the side table, he saw it was already late. Han Xin hesitated, his finger hovering over the call button. With a reluctant sigh, he decided against disturbing the household staff at this hour. Instead, he made his way to the bathroom, contemplating whether to clean it himself.

As he stood in the doorway, he realised he felt no aversion to the fact that Xiang Yu had used the bathroom before him. It was an unusual feeling, one that he couldn’t quite place. With another sigh, he stepped into the shower, letting the water rush down over him, washing away the day’s tension.

After his shower, Han Xin reached for a drying towel. As he began to wipe his body, he suddenly remembered that Xiang Yu had used this towel. He clutched it, staring at it for a moment before tossing it into the laundry bin. It was then that he noticed Xiang Yu’s clothes inside the bin, a silent reminder of his presence.

Han Xin grabbed another dry towel, methodically drying himself before tossing it into the laundry bin as well. The sight of Xiang Yu’s clothes stirred something within him, a mix of frustration and something else he couldn’t quite identify.

After changing into a set of comfortable pyjamas, Han Xin picked up the laundry bin after adding his dirty clothes and headed downstairs. He wasn’t the type to leave laundry overnight; he hated it. As he descended, he noticed the light in the kitchen was on. He knew it was Han Zhan, likely foraging for a late-night snack.

Entering the laundry room, Han Xin began sorting the clothes, tossing them into the washing machine. He paused when he picked up Xiang Yu’s t-shirt, catching a faint, familiar floral scent. He found himself inexplicably drawn to it. The urge to take a whiff was strong, but he knew it wasn’t appropriate. Still, he couldn’t resist. Just as his hand moved closer, he heard a voice behind him.

"What are you doing?" Han Zhan stood in the doorway, eyebrow raised.

Han Xin cleared his throat, quickly tossing the t-shirt into the washing machine. "Nothing," he replied, trying to sound nonchalant. He added washing powder and started the machine.

Han Zhan’s brows furrowed. "Wait, isn’t that Xiang Yu’s clothes?"

Caught in the act, Han Xin turned around. "Let’s go," he said, trying to divert the conversation.

Han Zhan followed, a teasing grin on his face. "You never do my laundry. Wow, young master Han, you are really good to your employees... Let me correct that, you are very good to your employee."

"You are overthinking it," Han Xin muttered, heading towards the stairs.

Han Zhan ran in front of him, blocking his path. "Cousin, you never wash my clothes. Last time, you said, ’Do I look like a laundromat?’ when I asked you to toss my shirt with your clothes."

Han Xin was at a loss for words. "..."

The Divine Emperor was flabbergasted. "You!" he sputtered. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}
