Meanwhile, on the other side…
Lo Ye’s dormitory.
Anna was silently sneaking into Lo Ye’s dorm.
After all… she didn’t feel comfortable sneaking into Alicia’s dorm.
It wasn’t that, as the princess’s bodyguard, she couldn’t openly enter the princess’s chambers.
Rather, she was practicing.
Practicing doing a certain thing.
Following her memory, Anna groped her way into the bathroom in the dark.
Then, carefully, she opened the laundry basket.
That’s right, she was practicing how to sneak into Alicia’s bathroom later and find her clothes to… sniff.
Originally, Anna should have practiced in some other girl’s dormitory.
But…
Every time she tried to act, a figure—or rather, two figures—would instinctively appear in her mind.
“Anna, listen carefully, we’re now bound by fate.”
“Anna, listen carefully, we’re now bound by fate.”
Two proud and elegant figures constantly interwove in her mind, their voices overlapping.
“Anna, listen carefully, I am very angry right now.”
“Anna, listen carefully, this princess is very angry desuwa.”
“Ahhh~”
Anna couldn’t help but cup her cheeks, her face flushing deeply, an unusual emotion rising from her heart, making her eyes gradually look strange.
“Alicia-chan Alicia-chan Alicia-chan Alicia-chan… Lord Lo Ye Lord Lo Ye Lord Lo Ye Lord Lo Ye!!!”
“I really want to be scolded by Alicia-chan~”
“Being scolded by Alicia-chan’s husband, Lord Lo Ye, is also acceptable~”
“No, no, how can I have such perverted thoughts?”
“Calm down, Anna, Lord Lo Ye hasn’t married Princess Alicia yet, no need to rush or raise suspicion…”
“So, sorry, Lord Lo Ye, you’ll just have to be my guinea pig.”
Anna knelt on both knees in front of the laundry basket, staring at the large clothing clearly belonging to a man, gently picking it up, carefully showing it before her eyes, then, as if possessed, subconsciously brought it to her nose and sniffed.
There was no strange smell as expected; on the contrary, it was very pleasant, with a faint scent of coffee beans…
“What are you doing…”
Anna suddenly lifted her head.
Turning around, she saw Lo Ye just at the bathroom door, who had just opened it, staring blankly at her, dumbfounded.
The air suddenly fell silent.
“Why are you still in my dorm?”
Lo Ye blinked and asked the soul-crushing question.
“Well… I… I…”
Anna panicked and quickly threw the old clothes Lo Ye had worn right in front of him.
Then she just stood there staring at Lo Ye.
“……”
Silence fell again.
“Uh, were you kicked out by Alicia?” Lo Ye tried to find a reason for Anna.
Anna immediately responded, “Yes! I was kicked out by Her Highness the Princess, and I haven’t had time to shower yet. Lord Lo Ye, can you give me a place to wash up?”
“Suit yourself.”
After saying that, Lo Ye immediately slammed the door shut.
Then he walked to the balcony, letting the evening breeze cool his mind.
Not even a friend, and yet coming to his dorm late at night just to do this kind of perverted behavior?
If you said you were a spy, sent by Alicia to watch me, that would be better than blatantly following my lead!
Does she really think I don’t know where Alicia is?
Slapping his cheek for a moment, Lo Ye finally calmed down.
Returning to the living room, listening to the water sounds from the bathroom, Lo Ye’s mood became complicated.
Just as Lo Ye’s mind was wandering, he suddenly heard Anna’s voice from the bathroom: “Um, Mr. Lo Ye, do you have a bath towel?”
“Yes, yes, it’s right on top of the storage cabinet…”
Lo Ye suddenly remembered Anna probably didn’t have any clothes to change into, so he quickly got up and rummaged through his wardrobe—a man’s wardrobe was always the same: just a few pieces of clothes that could even be called copies of each other.
“Here’s a change of clothes for you.”
He found the only outfit without duplicates and passed it through the gap in the bathroom door.
Through the gap, he caught a glimpse of Anna’s fair, slightly flushed shoulders and back, then hurriedly recalled the most painful things in his life to calm himself down.
I have no worldly desires; this monk will renounce the world now…
Huh?
Lo Ye thought, do you even know what you’re saying?
The bathroom door opened, and Anna stepped out wearing a white shirt, her chest rising and falling, long slender legs straight and smooth, round and fair.
Her face and shoulders were flushed from the steam, and her delicate white neck looked so smooth it made one want to take a bite.
Her hair still smelled of shampoo.
Boyfriend shirt, yay!
What a joke!
Proud to wear your own clothes?
There’s no thrill of becoming a head honcho, no urge to one-up Alicia, just a helpless feeling stuck in a gravity field of obsession.
Lo Ye kept a straight face, conjured a small flame in his hand, then lit the heater in the room: “Cold? I don’t have very thick blankets here. If you’re cold, I’ll think of something else.”
Anna shook her head and looked at the soaking wet clothes in her hands.
Lo Ye was surprised, thinking she wanted him to help wash them, so he hurriedly reached out: “Don’t worry, I’ll hand wash them carefully.”
“No, no!” Anna blushed deeply and hurriedly snatched her clothes back.
She actually wanted to ask where she could wash clothes, but who could have expected Lo Ye to immediately reach for her clothes, even taking them from below…
Below that was her undergarment…
“Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
Lo Ye thought she was embarrassed since she’d already sniffed his clothes, which made him subconsciously think that touching each other’s personal clothing wasn’t a big deal.
“Leave it to me to wash. You go sit on the sofa in the living room for a bit.”
Lo Ye stepped forward again, took the clothes from her hands, and went to the balcony.
He had just put the clothes in a basin to rinse when he noticed a white lace panty that hadn’t slipped from his hand due to friction.
“……”
Uh, Anna, do you believe me if I say I didn’t know?
Lo Ye bit his lip hard, holding back strange thoughts.
Just as he was about to pour detergent into the basin, he looked at that intimate piece of clothing, different from the rest, still warm.
His mind was torn.
He could tell it was dry, meaning it was breathable and sweat evaporated easily, but some residue would remain on the fabric, unlike the clothes that had been rinsed clean of sweat.
So…
Lo Ye squatted down and carefully took out the white…
They say these intimate garments should be washed gently; he wasn’t sure if that was true.
Anna’s figure was excellent—slim and curvy, delicate and shapely.
Lo Ye didn’t understand why the size was a bit smaller than it looked—maybe the fabric was very stretchy?
“What are you doing…”
Lo Ye suddenly lifted both his heads.
Turning around, he saw Anna at the balcony door, who had just opened it, staring at him blankly, wide-eyed.
The air suddenly went silent.
Lo Ye: Seriously, why did I just do the exact same thing?
