Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Who is bullying who?

But Han Xin wasn’t letting him off that easily. He suddenly grabbed Xiang Yu’s arm, pulling him back. Xiang Yu’s muscles tensed as he looked up at Han Xin, their eyes locking. Han Xin’s gaze was intense, searching as if trying to uncover the secrets Xiang Yu was hiding.

For the past few nights, Han Xin had been haunted by Xiang Yu’s face whenever he closed his eyes. He dreamt himself in an ancient world fighting with Xiang Yu and supressing him, he dreamt them in a cave sitting near a campfire together and he even dreamt himself kissing him passionately.

He had never experienced such vivid dreams before, but now it was as though he was possessed, dreaming about Xiang Yu. The first night it happened, he told himself he should limit his interactions with him. But he had already made the mistake of bringing him into his home. Who would have thought Xiang Yu would avoid him completely?

By the time Han Xin got downstairs each morning, he would be gone, and when he returned, he would only come back in time to put the twins to bed. At first, Han Xin was relieved that he was avoiding him, but by the second day, he felt a growing sense of unhappiness. He didn’t want to be the one to make the first move, hoping he would come to him instead.

Before he had a chance to wait for him to approach him, his father had asked them to have a discussion with a family friend who was causing trouble. Han Xin didn’t need to think twice about who he would bring. He decided on the smurf and Xiang Yu. Peng Xiu had asked if she could come, but he refused. He immediately went to pick him up, feeling an unexpected surge of happiness at the sight of him.

Just now, Han Xin had waited outside the girls’ bedroom, hoping to catch him before he went to bed. Now, standing so close, he couldn’t just let him leave.

Han Xin watched Xiang Yu with a thoughtful expression, his eyes lingering on the man who had become an enigma to him. "Would you like to have a drink with me?" he asked, his voice casual but his eyes searching. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

Xiang Yu hesitated, his mind racing. At any other time, he would have accepted the offer without a second thought. But tonight, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to hide his plans from Han Xin. "I would like that, but I am really tired. Let’s have that drink tomorrow," he said, forcing a smile.

Han Xin’s face fell slightly, unable to hide his disappointment. He had expected Xiang Yu to agree. Just as he opened his mouth to say "okay," he quickly added, "Goodnight," before turning to walk away.

Xiang Yu picked up his pace, hoping to escape the conversation, but Han Xin suddenly blocked his path, his aura imposing and unyielding. Xiang Yu’s heart skipped a beat, fear gripping him as he wondered if Han Xin had seen through his facade.

"Are you unhappy about something?" Han Xin asked, his voice low and intense. "Is it that you’re upset about the Die clan? I told you we have to hold on and delay exacting revenge on them."

Xiang Yu let out a nervous laugh, shaking his head. "No, I am not upset, not at all. I’m just busy, okay?" He patted Han Xin’s shoulder, trying to appear nonchalant. "You worry too much."
