Lazily Yours.

After the event, Lyca and Shen Qui immediately went home. None of them talked about what Lyca's plan was until they arrived inside their room. 

"Are they on their way now?" she asked. The plan was for them to go abroad for a few months, let everything cool down before they come back and see her. This was because Lyca thought everything would soon become too chaotic. She wanted to keep her parents as safe as possible.

"Father tried to complain. He said he wanted to talk to you." Shen Qui said as he watched her change her clothes. Lyca just finished taking a bath and was about to change into her pajamas. 

"And?"

"I told him, you will get emotional if you talk to him."

Lyca sighed while shaking her head. She already expected a reaction like that. However, she can't really talk to any of her parents right now. She wanted everything to be as safe as possible. She wanted them to arrive in a safe place, without any distractions. She was certain that talking to them might be enough to stop them from leaving.

Lyca knew that both of her parents adored her too much. The two would always choose to stay in this country and be close to her. Hearing her voice wouldn't help this situation at all. "And grandfather?" she asked, frowning. It has been three years since the old man had been poisoned and yet, he was still alive. For some reason, Lyca felt that someone deliberately poisoned him to keep him alive.

Someone who was targeting the person that could heal the poison. She squinted her eyes. That type of poison was pretty popular from her previous world. Yet, she wasn't sure this was something popular in this world too. She had checked everything when she was still abroad and didn't find that poison on the list of the most fatal poison in this world.

Was it possible that someone from her world was able to come here?

If that is the case, Lyca needed to be more careful in the near future. Her decision to use Lai Su as the creator of the things that she is planning to make was indeed the right now.

"Alive," She Qui pulled her towards his lap as he sat on the couch just a few feet away from their king-size bed.

"I prefer the bed." Lyca suddenly said as she handed him the comb. "My hair is long. I need to cut it. I think I would look good in really short hair. It would be easier to comb, easier to wash and to dry." Having long white hair was just too high maintenance for her.

"Why do you worry so much about that? I have been watching your hair and drying it. Then I comb it and braid it." He started combing her hair. "Of course, if you really want to cut it short, I can do it for you. If you want, I can shave your hair just remove everything. You would look good if you are bald too."

"…" she snorted. "I have been away looking for money and I arrived here with millions. And yet, you wanted to shave my hair off. I don't get this. I think this is abuse." She uttered, smiling.

Shen Qui chuckled and decided to drop the topic. He was smart enough to know that he would never win in this topic. Women… are complicated. It is better to just kiss them once they start talking about stuff like this. So, he kissed the back of her neck. "You would look beautiful either way."

"Hmph!" This man was really smart. Shen Qui knew when to tease her and when to stop. Isn't that just perfect?

"Aren't you gonna asked me about the training?" Shen Qui said. Since Lyca arrived, she didn't talk about anything else aside from… what she wanted him to do to her.

Of course, he happily complied with her every demand. He started kissing her neck, his hand was stroking her waist.

"How can I talk about them when you always do that?"

"Do what?" His breath was hot against her skin. It made her tremble, anticipation started to build up inside her. His hand cupped her breast, kneading it and slowly playing with her pebbled nipples. She let out a soft moan.

"That." She said softly as she closed her eyes.

He laughed and stopped kissing her neck. To her disappointment, he withdrew his hands and hugged her instead. "So? You wanted to ask about them now?"

"Those people are boring. Can we just do something else?" She stood and pulled him up and pushed him towards the bed, making him lie to his back as she sat on his hips, straddling her. He watched as amusement flashed in his eyes.

"Don't you think it's a little inappropriate that you think about something naughty in the middle of all this?" he lifted an eyebrow, waiting for her to rebut.

"You mean… sex?" she asked. "Isn't that human nature?"

He looked at her beautiful face.

"Are you saying no to me?" she suddenly asked. Her words, however, only made him laughed. His warm laughter echoed inside her ears, making her heart skip a beat. Lyca squinted at him as she wondered why does his laughter seem to make her feel a little lighter, happier.

"Can I really say no to you?"

Her lips thinned before she shook her head. "No. You can't." She said. He rested his hands on her small waist. She could already feel his erection against her core. Too bad, they were still wearing clothes. 

"I think, I have become a little naughty."

"A little?" he chuckled. "You call this a little?"

"Isn't it?"

"No. I don't think this is still considered a little." He laughed when he saw her frowned at his words.

"Alright. Alright." Lyca suddenly held her arms up as if she was trying to surrender from a fight. "I will ask. They are still alive right?"

"Alive? Yes. But what kind of question is that?" he laughed out loud. "Hogan said that the training was hellish. But no one is giving up. They already sent five people to the hospital but they always came back with more energy."

"You look so proud."

"I am proud of you." He said. "But you look disappointed?"

"I only wanted twenty people. Since no one is giving up then I needed to create another training. More difficult this time."

"Why do you want them to give up?"

This time, Lyca turned silent. She stared at his eyes as she hesitated for a few seconds. "Because— "

"Hm? Because you are too lazy to pick the best?"

More like she was too lazy to deal with more than twenty people. A sigh escaped Lyca's lips. "Yeah, something like that." Another sigh escaped her lips before she suddenly lay next to him. Lyca buried her face on his neck and pulled him for a hug.

"You don't have to deal with them. You know that right?" he asked and she nodded in response. She closed her eyes and inhaled his scent. Her being lazy and wanting to be lazy in this world is really messing up her mind. It seems that her dream was just getting farther and farther away from her.

Would it stay a dream forever?

Can someone like her really survive in this cruel … cruel world?

"Hey, why don't you tell me about the training. I can help you. You can stay here while I— " Shen Qui didn't complete his words when she shifted and moved away from him. For a few seconds, Lyca just silently stared at his face, as if she was trying to itch every small detail of his beautiful face into her head.

"You are spoiling me." She stated.

"Am I? I thought you are the one that's spoiling me."

"I can handle the training. I will visit them tomorrow." She said and moved on top of him again. "I think, right now. We have more pressing issues that we need to address."

"What issue?" His brows furrowed at her words. "Did something happen?"

Lyca only gave him a mischievous grin. "That issue," her gaze went towards his torso and into his stomach. "We needed to do something about that… issue." 

Shen Qui chuckled. Soon after, the sounds of their moans and grunts echoed inside the room.

…..

Sadly, not everyone had the same blissful night as Shen Qui and Lyca. Currently, the mayor's loud shouts echoed inside his study as he talked to some of his people over the phone. The Mayor wanted to take down the articles about his daughter but it seems that someone was working to keep it on the top search results of every social media and search engine in the world. 

The Mayor couldn't help but cursed over and over again as he ended the call and threw his phone towards his assistant. "You are doing nothing about this!"

"Mayor— Mayor sir, I already— "

"SHUT UP!" The Mayor slammed his fist on top of his table. "Useless! Imbeciles! All of you are Imbeciles!" He felt his anger boiled inside him when he thought of Jessica. "How is she? Did she finally fell asleep?"

"Yes, sir but that was only after the doctors used the strongest dose of medicines to make her calm down."

"This is all Shen Qui's fault!" he hissed. If Shen Qui didn't show up tonight, then Jessica wouldn't act like a stupid fool, embarrassing him in front of everyone!
