Xiao Yixia said coldly,
“If I never remembered, how could I forget? Also, I never said I wanted to be with you for a lifetime—don’t spread rumors!
Let’s go! You utterly insane monster! If it weren’t for you sending Lynn to stop me, I wouldn’t have come back!”
Borhes looked pitiful, acting coy toward Xiao Yixia,
“Unless Xiaxia holds my hand and walks with me, I refuse to move!”
Xiao Yixia had no choice but to reluctantly take Borhes’s hand, then gritted her teeth and said,
“Can we go now? You utterly insane monster!”
A handsome curve tugged at the corner of Borhes’s mouth,
“Thank you, Xiaxia, for coming back to get me. Xiaxia is so kind!”
Xiao Yixia couldn’t be bothered to waste more words on Borhes. She pulled his hand to walk forward, but Borhes started acting up again,
“Xiaxia, let’s walk side by side.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yixia had to step back. She glared furiously at Borhes,
“Can we go now? You utterly insane monster!”
Borhes smiled at Xiao Yixia,
“Alright. If not, my little firecracker would have exploded by now.”
Xiao Yixia was livid,
“You’re the firecracker! Your whole family are firecrackers!”
Winnie, who was walking toward them, let out a soft laugh,
“Sister-in-law, am I being implicated by association?”
Xiao Yixia smiled apologetically at Winnie,
“Winnie, I’m sorry, I forgot you’re included in his family.”
Borhes looked at Winnie in confusion,
“Winnie, I wasn’t sitting with you, so why did you say ‘implicated by association’? What do you mean by that?”
Winnie chuckled lightly,
“Brother, your Chinese is really terrible! Now that you’ve married Sister-in-law, you should find a good teacher to teach you properly…”
As Winnie spoke, she suddenly thought of something,
“Uh… never mind, just leave it as it is… After all, no matter how good the teacher is, they can’t teach you…”
Borhes suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up, and he smiled at Xiao Yixia,
“Xiaxia, you’re a top student. How about you be my Chinese teacher?”
Xiao Yixia refused coldly,
“Dream on! You ruined my studies, and you still want me to teach you Chinese? That’s nothing but wishful thinking!”
A hint of guilt appeared in Borhes’s eyes,
“Xiaxia, I’m sorry. Everything before was my fault…
If you want to continue your postgraduate studies, I can let you go. But you can’t go to N University in Y Country anymore. How about C University in F Country? The teaching quality at C University in F Country is no worse than N University in Y Country.
Also, if you go for postgraduate studies, you can’t use the name Xiao Yixia anymore. You’ll have to go under a different name.”
A small flame of hope ignited in Xiao Yixia’s eyes,
“Are you serious? You can really let me continue my postgraduate studies?”
In truth, Xiao Yixia had no real interest in continuing her studies at the moment. She just wanted to use the postgraduate opportunity as a way to escape Borhes and return to Z Country.
As long as she returned to Z Country, she would be safe. As long as her family never went abroad, she could be rid of Borhes forever. That was the confidence Z Country gave her…
Borhes nodded,
“It’s true. But I’ll go with you to study. Xiaxia, studying together with you—just thinking about it is romantic!”
Xiao Yixia suppressed the excitement in her heart,
“When can I go to C University?”
A smile lingered at the corner of Borhes’s mouth,
“Not you—us. No rush. We’ll go once you’re fully recovered.”
Borhes finished speaking and immediately turned his gaze to Lynn.
“Lynn, arrange two spots for graduate studies at Country F’s C University a month from now. Make up the names as you see fit, but the two names must be registered as a married couple.”
“Yes, my King.”
Winnie, standing nearby, teased,
“Brother King, are you really going to attend C University as a human? Going to C University as a human means you have to follow human rules. Can you handle that? Brother King, I’m really worried you’ll tear C University apart!”
A smile tugged at the corner of Borhes’s lips.
“Go, go, go. Don’t ruin my reputation! Am I really that violent? With Xiaxia keeping me in check, I’ll behave and follow C University’s rules.”
As soon as Borhes finished speaking, he turned to Xiao Yixia with a smile.
“Xiaxia, you’ll keep me in check, right?”
Xiao Yixia replied irritably,
“Who wants to keep you in check? Do you not have hands or feet?”
Borhes put on a hurt expression again.
“I don’t care. We’re going to grad school together. If you don’t keep me in check, who will?”
Xiao Yixia didn’t even glance at Borhes.
“Whoever wants to keep you in check, that’s who!”
Borhes threatened,
“If you don’t keep me in check, then you don’t need to go to grad school at all!”
Xiao Yixia glared at Borhes.
“Is threatening me the only thing you know how to do?”
Borhes chuckled softly by Xiao Yixia’s ear.
“There’s something else I know how to do—I can cherish you in bed…”
Xiao Yixia’s face instantly turned red.
“Animal! Shameless!”
Winnie, standing nearby, coughed twice.
“Ahem, ahem. Brother King, Lynn and I are still right here… Could you mind the occasion…”
Borhes laughed.
“Why should I mind the occasion? Besides, I already said it quietly enough. If you and Lynn have sharp hearing, who’s to blame?”
Winnie was a bit speechless.
“Fine, fine, fine. You’re the King, so everything you say is right. But I really can’t take it anymore. I’m leaving.”
With that, Winnie pulled Lynn along as well.
“Brother Lynn, let’s go. Don’t stay here any longer. If we stay, Brother King will pollute our pure hearts. Don’t worry—when Brother King needs you, he’ll call for you.”
Watching Xiao Yixia’s flushed face, Borhes felt restless. The next moment, he lowered his head and kissed Xiao Yixia’s lips…
Xiao Yixia shoved Borhes away and immediately slapped him across the face.
“Are you a male dog? Do you have to be in heat wherever you go?”
Borhes smiled with a hint of amusement.
“I’m not a male dog. It’s just that when I saw Xiaxia’s flushed face just now, I couldn’t help but want to kiss Xiaxia…”
As Borhes spoke, he suddenly pulled Xiao Yixia into his arms.
“Xiaxia, how do you manage to be this beautiful no matter what you do? Beautiful when you blush, beautiful when you’re angry, beautiful when you cry, beautiful when you sleep… Even sitting still and quiet, you’re beautiful…”
Xiao Yixia snapped,
“Psycho! Let go of me!”
Borhes kissed Xiao Yixia’s cheek.
“Xiaxia, let me hold you a little longer. Just a little longer, and I’ll let go… Xiaxia, if I let you continue your studies, will you hate me a little less?”
Xiao Yixia’s voice was icy.
“My hatred for you will never change because of anything. The harm you’ve done to me can never be undone! You destroyed my life. I hate you to death!”
A trace of sorrow crept into Borhes’s eyes.
“If that’s the case, then there’s no need to go to grad school.”
Xiao Yixia was furious.
“How can you go back on your word?”
Borhes said with unshakable confidence,
“I let you continue your studies because I wanted you to hate me a little less, but now I realize it’s completely useless. So why should I let you continue?”
Xiao Yixia’s heart was racing with anxiety—if she couldn’t go to graduate school, how would she ever escape? But she didn’t dare show her desperation on her face. Her mind worked at lightning speed.
“Even though going to graduate school won’t make me hate you any less, it can make me a little happier. You’re always asking me what it would take to make me happy—well, this is one of the answers.”
Borhes’s eyes lit up at her words.
“So this is something that can make you happy! Then I’ll let you go to graduate school after all. I want to see you happy…”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took Xiao Yixia’s hand and led her toward the elevator.
“Let’s go downstairs, Xiaxia. In the past, I always used Teleportation to take you places, but now I realize that Teleportation makes me miss out on so many feelings…
Xiaxia, holding your hand and walking with you feels so wonderful, so romantic…”
