Fu Xuan: ..."Alright, alright! This Meow just wandered around the Divination Commission! Didn't go anywhere else! It's mainly because Qingque isn't here, so I'm a bit bored!"
Seeing that Fu Xuan wasn't speaking, Selene knew that if she continued to be playful, something bad might happen, so she had no choice but to 'honestly' confess!
"Oh? Are you sure you only wandered around the Divination Commission?"
Fu Xuan asked.
"Of course! When has This Meow ever lied to my Fu Xuan-jie, who possesses both beauty and wisdom?"
Selene's tone was relaxed, speaking as if it were true!
"Hmph! It better be! If This Meow finds out you lied! You know the consequences!"
Fu Xuan said, arms crossed, sounding annoyed.
"Since you're bored, why don't you come to This Meow's office? With This Meow to keep you company, you won't be bored anymore!"
Fu Xuan extended an invitation to Selene to work together.
Selene: Uh? Are you sure you're not asking me to come over and help with work? And it's the work Jing Yuan dumped on you!
...But, Selene still didn't refuse Fu Xuan and followed her to her office.
This scene, of course, was witnessed by Bai Ling, who was also in the office.
"Oh? Selene is here too!"
Bai Ling said, looking at Selene.
"This Meow called her here."
Fu Xuan said, pulling Selene to her desk.
Selene: QAQ, I knew I was here to work!
"Hmm? If Selene is here, then I shouldn't be needed here. You two carry on!"
Bai Ling said, smiling as she left, not forgetting to gently close the door behind her.
"Tsk tsk! Office... two people... Oh my, oh my! Little Liu Guang is going to be... by Diviner Fu... can't say, can't say!"
Outside the door, Bai Ling covered her mouth, but still couldn't hide her auntie-like smile..."Do you want to help This Meow with some tasks?"
Fu Xuan looked at Selene beside her and asked with a smile.
Selene: Ah, this?! Although I really want to help, I don't seem to know how to handle it!
Seeing Selene's hesitant expression and hearing her thoughts, Fu Xuan naturally knew what she was worried about.
"Never mind! You sit on This Meow's lap, and This Meow will teach you hand-in-hand!"
Fu Xuan said, reaching out and patting her thigh, signaling Selene to sit down.
"Ah? Can I really... do that?"
"Hmm? What's wrong with that? Haven't you napped on This Meow's lap many times before? Don't be shy now!"
Fu Xuan patted Selene's head, saying with a hint of annoyance.
"Hehe! Coming!"
...In the evening, Fu Xuan brought Selene back home.
As soon as Fu Xuan changed into her slippers, she saw a bouquet of flowers placed on the coffee table.
Fu Xuan raised an eyebrow, turned to look at Selene, and revealed a slight smile.
Selene: ...Why does that smile feel a bit off?!
"Little Liu Guang, can you tell This Meow how those flowers appeared in the house?"
Fu Xuan still had a smile on her face, but her words made Selene shiver all over!
"Um... I guess? Qingque probably sent them over! Am I right, Jie-jie Daren?!"
Qingque: ?
"Little Liu Guang is still deceiving This Meow? Your little mouth isn't very clean, is it? Shall This Meow check it?"
As Fu Xuan said this, a smile played on her lips, and she slowly leaned towards Selene.
Selene instinctively recoiled, but behind her was only a wall, leaving no retreat!
Finally, Selene looked at the approaching Fu Xuan and made a bold decision!
"Since I can't escape, I'll take the initiative! Anyway, I won't lose out!"
Thinking this, Selene stood on her tiptoes, intending to turn the tables!
But unexpectedly, just as she stood on her tiptoes, her shoulders were pressed down by a pair of jade hands, and before she could even make her move, she was pinned against the wall by Fu Xuan!
...Time flew by, and it was already New Year's Eve on the Xianzhou.
However, New Year's Eve is New Year's Eve, but one still has to work, right? The holiday still had to wait until the first day of the New Year!
Nevertheless, it was the last day of the year, and everyone had lost the mood to work, happily slacking off at their posts.
Fu Xuan, for her part, turned a blind eye; it was the end of the year, so she let them be!
...Inside the Divination Commission Archives.
"Why are you so gloomy? You look like you have something on your mind?"
Qingque looked at Selene, who was sitting across the card table, and asked with some confusion.
"Huh? Am I? I'm fine!"
Selene looked up at Qingque, a momentary blankness in her eyes.
"Still saying no, you're completely different from yesterday!"
"Is something bothering you? But tomorrow is a long holiday, isn't it? Diviner Fu should take you to eat lots of delicious food, right?!"
Qingque poked Selene and said with some confusion.
In Qingque's opinion, Selene should be happy every day, right? Could she actually have worries too?
"Sigh! Qingque, do you have someone you like?"
Selene looked at Qingque and asked very seriously.
"Huh? I don't. If I had to say, does a qiongyu cards count?!"
Qingque was stunned for a moment, then said seriously.
"Then suppose you were going to confess to a qiongyu cards, would you be nervous? Even if you knew the qiongyu cards would accept your confession."
Selene continued to ask.
"Hmm? But the qiongyu cards would already accept me, which means the qiongyu cards likes me, doesn't it? So why be nervous?"
Qingque said.
"But, wouldn't you worry that the setting you prepared isn't what the qiongyu cards would like...?"
As Selene spoke, a clear lack of confidence and worry could be heard in her voice.
"But, don't the qiongyu cards and I both like each other? Perhaps the prepared confession setting isn't that important, is it, Little Liu Guang?"
As Qingque spoke, she used her hand to lift Selene's lowered head, meeting her gaze.
Selene was momentarily stunned, but she seemed to understand something, and her eyes gradually became firm.
"So? Who are you confessing to? It wouldn't be Fu Xuan, would it?!"
Seeing Selene gradually return to normal, Qingque's tone became less serious again.
"Hehe... Is it that obvious?"
Selene giggled.
"Tsk! I didn't expect it! Someone would actually like a workaholic like Diviner Fu?! Are you really not afraid that after a successful confession, Diviner Fu will drag you to work overtime every day?!"
As Qingque said this, she couldn't help but imagine the scene of being dragged to work overtime, and she shivered uncontrollably!
"But...? Isn't working overtime with someone you like also a very happy thing?"
"Hmm... Perhaps you're right. After all, when I used to work overtime, I also had a qiongyu cards with me, and the bad mood from overtime would disappear..."
"It's getting dark. Good luck, Selene!"
...Oh my, oh my! I originally planned to write Selene's confession today and Fu Xuan's confession tomorrow, but who knew! Today's update requests didn't exceed three thousand, so chapter four couldn't be written! Hehehehehehe!!!
I'm truly sorry, everyone! Let's see the confession tomorrow! Hehehe!
