Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven - 180

“Fei Fei.”

“Miss Su?”

“Fei Fei, it’s time to wake up.”

Ye Tian Xie gently pinched Su Fei Fei’s nose and softly patted her face. After logging out of the game, he found Miss Su sleeping soundly on the sofa. Seeing the table filled with an assortment of dishes, he felt a twinge of guilt. If he hadn’t logged off, she would have waited until he did to eat. Now… evidently, she had fallen asleep while waiting.

Su Fei Fei’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Ye Tian Xie in her blurry vision, she blinked in confusion before sitting up abruptly.

“Hey! You… you didn’t do anything to me, did you?”Su Fei Fei asked nervously, hurriedly checking her clothes.

Ye Tian Xie was speechless. “Miss Su, if I wanted to do anything to you, I wouldn’t have waited until today. It’s not like you could stop me anyway.”

Awakening from her instinctive panic, Su Fei Fei blushed with embarrassment at her reaction. She quietly pressed her hands against the skirt barely covering half her thighs and muttered, “Hmph… you, a pervert who likes taking advantage of girls in public, of course, I have to be careful!”

Ye Tian Xie: “…”

Women truly hold grudges. The incident where he touched her on the street was something she’d likely remember for a lifetime. Back then, it was merely a spur-of-the-moment whim for Ye Tian Xie. Unexpectedly, that whim led to encountering a daughter from Asia’s wealthiest family.

“Huh? That’s strange. How did I fall asleep?” Su Fei Fei murmured, holding her skirt down to prevent Ye Tian Xie from seeing anything inappropriate. She recalled waiting for him to log out so they could eat together. Feeling bored, she had intended to make another dish in the kitchen… and then…

Did she fall asleep out of boredom without realizing it?

Her memory seemed to have a blank spot she couldn’t recall. After trying to remember for a while with no results, she assumed she’d unknowingly dozed off while waiting.

Ye Tian Xie’s gaze occasionally drifted toward Su Fei Fei’s legs wrapped in black stockings. Her leg shape was breathtakingly perfect—rounded and slender, with a fatal allure that stirred a strong urge within him to reach out and touch them.

Stretching lazily, Su Fei Fei mumbled, “Alright, let’s eat first…” Sitting upright, she glanced at the dining table and then tilted her head with a playful tone, “Oh, I seem to have forgotten the chopsticks… Tian Xie, could you go get them from the kitchen? I just woke up, and my whole body feels limp… I can’t even stand.”

Ye Tian Xie turned and walked toward the kitchen.

“Hehe, so obedient. There’ll be a reward for you tonight~” Su Fei Fei playfully stuck out her tongue behind him.

Ye Tian Xie: “…”

Before Su Fei Fei moved in, and even after she did, the kitchen was a place Ye Tian Xie rarely visited. As he stepped into the kitchen, he felt an unfamiliar amazement. Compared to the empty, dust-covered space from half a month ago, the kitchen now was almost unrecognizable. Not only was it spotless, but it was also adorned with luxurious, top-tier kitchenware, exuding a sense of opulence.

Taking a few steps inside, Ye Tian Xie suddenly froze as if struck by lightning, standing motionless… His body began trembling violently.

Watching from the living room, Su Fei Fei called out curiously, “Hey, Tian Xie, don’t tell me you don’t even know where the chopsticks are?”

Her voice had just fallen when she saw Ye Tian Xie dart out of the kitchen like a madman. He stopped abruptly in the middle of the living room, turning his body and gaze rapidly, scanning every corner and every detail of the house.

“Tian… Tian Xie, you… what’s wrong with you…”

Su Fei Fei’s heartbeat quickened suddenly. Ye Tian Xie’s expression was something she’d never seen before—shock, panic, and confusion. His reaction was so intense that she could clearly see his trembling eyes, hands, and entire body up close.

It was as if he had seen something so overwhelming that it shook him to his core.

Without answering her, Ye Tian Xie suddenly rushed upstairs in a frenzy. Su Fei Fei stood up from the sofa, watching him blankly, at a loss for what to do.

The room that was always off-limits to others was abruptly opened. Ye Tian Xie rushed inside, and after a brief chaos of footsteps, he darted back out—so hurried that he didn’t even close the door. He then dashed to his own room. He was so frantic, as if delaying even a second would be something he’d regret for the rest of his life. His usually agile body stumbled several times during his mad rush.

He entered his own room and dashed back out, then ran into Su Fei Fei’s room, only to burst out again. He went from room to room, flinging doors open, never stopping to close any of them. When he emerged from the last room, the panic on his face was now mixed with a pain and despair so intense that it almost broke Su Fei Fei’s heart. Even his once-bright eyes had dulled into a dim, lifeless gray.

“Tian Xie… what’s wrong? What are you looking for?” Su Fei Fei cautiously stepped closer to him, her voice soft and filled with concern.

Ye Tian Xie stared ahead blankly, his body still trembling. Suddenly, he raised his head and shouted into the empty air above him with a voice trembling so violently it was almost unrecognizable, “Xian’er… Xian’er… is that you? You’ve come back, haven’t you? I know you’re back… Answer me! Xian’er!”

Su Fei Fei shuddered slightly, her beautiful eyes staring at him in shock… at this completely out-of-control Ye Tian Xie.

Xian’er… was she the 『one』 he had been waiting for all along?

“Xian’er… stop playing hide-and-seek with me… Come out already. I know you’re here… I told you, even if I lost my sense of touch, even if I lost my eyes, I would never mistake you for someone else… Xian’er!!”

There was no response to his cries—nothing but silence.

He ran forward, throwing open the front door… and froze, staring blankly at the empty outside. The scorching sun blazed mercilessly overhead, its heat saturating the air, making even the faintest breeze oppressively stifling.

『Guess who I am? If you get it wrong, there’s going to be a punishment~.』

『…Of course, it’s my Xian’er』.”

『Ugh… you got it right again.』

『That’s because there are only two of us in this house—me and my Xian’er. If I couldn’t even guess that, wouldn’t I be the dumbest person in the world?』

『Then… why don’t you pretend to guess wrong just once, so I can feel happy, and then give you a little punishment?』

『Silly Xian’er, even if I lost my sense of touch, even if I lost my sight, I would never mistake you for someone else… because only you have the scent that belongs to Xian’er.』

『Hehe, then tell me, what kind of scent is it?』

『… How should I say it? I don’t really know how to describe it. Because this scent isn’t something you smell with your nose—it’s something you sense with your heart… Because my Xian’er fills my entire heart, and as long as she’s near, my heart will tell me…』

The door closed behind him as Ye Tian Xie, like a soulless figure, dragged his heavy body and walked back with slow, deliberate steps. When he had reached the kitchen moments ago, he had smelled that unforgettable scent—one that he could never mistake. In that instant, he heard the wild pounding of his own heart.

But following the surge of joy came a crushing wave of despair and emptiness. In this world, only one person could stir such profound emotional highs and lows within him.

He sank heavily onto the sofa, leaning back as his lifeless eyes stared at the ceiling, his energy and consciousness seemingly drained.

Su Fei Fei bit her lip gently and walked quietly to his side, careful not to make a sound that might disturb him. She knew this man, immersed in memories of hope and disappointment, was carrying a deep, unhealed pain.

“Xian’er… is she the one you’ve been waiting for all this time?” Su Fei Fei sat down beside him and asked softly. His reactions, and the anguish in his expression, sent a stabbing pain through her heart—for him, and for herself.

Ye Tian Xie remained motionless, staring blankly at the ceiling without responding.

“Can you tell me about her?” Su Fei Fei’s voice was even softer this time, filled with tender concern.

Still, there was no response.

Su Fei Fei didn’t push further. Instead, she shifted closer and leaned gently against Ye Tian Xie’s shoulder. Closing her eyes, she silently listened to the faint rhythm of his heartbeat.

His reactions made her realize how deeply his feelings for Xian’er were engraved in his heart. A man like him might feel desire for other women, but his heart could no longer hold love for anyone else. He had already poured all his emotions into this one person, leaving no space for another.

What kind of woman could make him feel this way? Was she a breathtaking beauty with an ethereal charm and a gentle, flowing grace?

She must have loved him deeply too… otherwise, how could she inspire such unwavering devotion in him?

If she loved him so much, then why did she leave him? Why bring him this enduring pain that weighed so heavily on his heart?

She should have been the one to bring him happiness and joy… shouldn’t she?

With Ye Tian Xie’s character, even if she wanted to wander to the ends of the earth, as long as he loved her, he would have followed her without hesitation. No matter how great the challenges, he would have smiled and faced them with her. So why leave him?

“Let’s eat dinner first, okay?” Su Fei Fei shook him lightly, her own eyes unknowingly becoming misty. Seeing him like this was breaking her heart. She had never seen him so vulnerable, and only now did she understand—when you care too much about someone, their sorrow becomes your own, multiplied many times over.

“I… I’m not hungry” Ye Tian Xie muttered, closing his eyes, his voice devoid of spirit.

Su Fei Fei looked up at him for a long moment, then nodded softly. Rising from the sofa, she returned to her room, closing the door quietly behind her.
