In all of these years, this was the first time Nalun was visiting the Linton district. The location of this residential district was pretty remote, but the advantage was the beautiful scenery. The space between buildings was very far apart so the privacy of the residents were very well protected.
As colleagues for many years, people had at least a general idea of each other’s address. To obtain the specific location only required the effort of a brief message. Therefore, when Nalun stopped outside a certain free-standing villa, he was already very confident that this was Sirius’s private residence.
The villa wasn’t big, only two stories high. Speaking strictly, it didn’t really match the owner’s identity and status. However, for a single, young bachelor living alone, it was already enough.
Through the white gates, Nalun immediately saw the sports cars parked in the garage behind the house. His eyes flashed with a secret light– even though he only spied a corner, it was enough for him to assume the origin of those cars– The newest popular model released by the Nisher family.
It’s really hard not to envy the life of a sports car tycoon’s son.
Nalun withdrew his gaze, opened the lock panel, and entered the passcode with his fingers. Very quickly, the door opened with a ‘kada’.
Upon entering, he immediately saw an entrance hall. Nalun hesitated for a moment, bent down and picked a pair of soft slippers. He took off his dirt stained leather shoes, and then slowly walked inside.
There weren’t too many decorations in Sirius’s house. Other than some essential daily items, the rest was probably decorations provided from a standard luxury package.
A few dark colored jackets and coats were placed casually on the sofa of the living room. A plate with food remnants still laid on the coffee table. Vestiges of Sirius’s daily activities could be seen everywhere.
The various traces and clues faintly revealed the secret facet behind this outwardly glamorous Imperial idol.
Nalun curiously examined everything, eyes noticing the wooden staircase not too far away. He hesitated if he should raise his voice to say something; however, to him, yelling also seemed somewhat rude.
In the end, with a furrowed brow, he moved aside the suspicious socks on the sofa and decided to take an empty seat to wait for the owner of the house to come out and greet him.
Sirius tidied himself in front of the mirror for the 3rd time. Verifying that there was not a hair misplaced, he walked out of the room. As he stepped down the stairs, he already saw the figure in the living room. The corner of his mouth uncontrollably curved upward. He touched the watch on his wrist and increased his pace.
“Baobei~, you’re here.”
The uptilted tone at the end was practically spinning.
Dressed so appropriately that he could attend a national conference and make a public speech in front of all of the citizens of the nation, Admiral Sirius Monte exuded an intense pheromone.
Nalun straightened his back and nodded faintly: “I just happened to be doing something nearby so I dropped by along the way.”
Sirius adjusted his tie in a natural and smooth manner– Madam Nisher had once said: the image of a man adjusting his tie is very captivating– As he planned to sit next to Nalun’s side, his pupils constricted.
Unwashed socks, remains of yesterday’s food, and messily placed jackets and coats……
“Cough cough.” The Admiral, who was so obsessed in dressing himself up that he had forgotten other important elements, guiltily found a topic to talk about: “Is this place okay?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Nalun said politely: “The scenery is not bad.”
Vlgler: “Qtfc P mtbrf ab wbnf tfgf lclaljiis, la kjr yfmjerf P ilxfv atf rmfcfgs.”
Rjiec gfmjiifv rbwfatlcu: “Ktja rffwfv ab yf rbwfatlcu atja tjqqfcfv 3 sfjgr jub. Qtfc sbe wbnfv bea bo atf Zbcaf tberf, P tfjgv sbe fnfc tfiv j yjcdefa obg atlr?”
Vlgler clwyis rja bc abq bo atf rbmxr, cfza ab Rjiec, rjslcu: “Pa mjc’a yf mbcrlvfgfv j yjcdefa. Aera j ujatfglcu yfakffc oglfcvr.”
The suddenly close presence made Nalun feel somewhat unnatural: “Really? I remember a lot of people went.”
Other than sending out a dozen invitations, Sirius also allowed the invited guests to bring a partner.
Sirius, exasperatedly: “Those guys……”
Most of the people he invited were people of his age. In addition, they were all basically single. Without choice, the Admiral was forced to use this kind of method to create an opportunity for these crying and wailing assholes to meet their future ‘partners’.
Sure enough, the young ladies, who did not receive the invitation cards, all became exuberant. At the same time, those single bachelors who did have invitations welcomed the most wide-spread attention they received in their entire lifetime.
Although Sirius was the main target, the reason for meeting wasn’t important, the interaction afterwards was the crucial point, no?
At that time, Sirius still had a very terrible relationship with Nalun. Naturally, Nalun didn’t receive any invitation. He also hadn’t planned to get in on the action. However, the prestige of the event was grand. For a very long period of time, the Imperial Capital was all discussing the invitation thing.
Hearing Sirius’s explanation, Nalun was somewhat speechless. He never imagined that the invitation would have such a deep plot hidden behind it.
Meanwhile, the Admiral felt a sense of danger.
He always felt like their ‘inharmonious relationship’ in the past would become an ongoing issue, something that would jump out from time to time in the future– If you must know, the aspect that left the deepest impression about the Honored Prince Charvey was ‘likes to hold a grudge’.
Sirius asked softly: “I’ll take you on a tour?”
Those guys a few years ago were only guests. This belatedly arrived main character was the most important right now.
Nalun: “……It’s almost time to eat.”
Sirius turned to consider the delicious shops nearby. In the end, he decided to hand over the choice and asked: “Where do you want to go?”
Nalun lowered his gaze and pressed his lips together, not saying anything.
Sirius instantly felt almost like his heart was scratched by a soft cat paw, completely lacking resistance to this look from Nalun: “Do you want to go for a spin? There’s several new cars in the garage. We can first book a good restaurant, drive around and then head over.”
Nalun asked in a heavy tone: “Sirius, don’t tell me you can’t feel it?”
Sirius was startled: “What?”
Nalun: “We’re like playing house right now.”
Sirius: “……”
Nalun asked tentatively: “We got together yesterday night, right?”
Sirius swiftly nodded: “Naturally!”
“Alright then.” With a serious and grave lecturing-like expression, Nalun said: “Sit up straight first.”
As they conversed, the admiral, who had unconsciously allowed his body to slouch, could only straighten himself.
“Nalun, I……”
A weight fell on his shoulders; the powerful and nimble Asha wargod didn’t even finish speaking before he was easily pressed into the back of the sofa seat. Meanwhile, a certain sneak attacker maintained this restraining position and stared at him in concentration for a few seconds.
Within these few seconds, a dozen methods for escaping and counter-restraining the other flashed across Sirius’s head. However, he only relaxed his body and used warm and gentle eyes to gaze at the other.
Nalun leaned down, slowly moving closer.
A sharp, fresh cologne entered Nalun’s nose, he said slightly surprised: “Derant aroma?”
Sirius cautiously touched Nalun’s neck: “En. How you smelled that time on Langdon street.”
Nalun: “……” For the sake of hiding that incident, just how many foolish things did he do?
Nalun waved away the hand that was causing mischief behind his neck: “Stop moving randomly.”
Sirius obediently withdrew his hand and sighed.
Then, he used a coaxing tone to say: “Baobei~, while maintaining this position, how about giving me a kiss along the way.”
Nalun turned his grayish green eyes, expression slightly heavy.
Just as a sense of melancholy grew in Sirius’s heart, he heard Nalun say: “Oh, I only smell your cologne along the way.”
As soon as these words finished, the Imperial Admiral felt a softness on his lips. Instantly, he fell silent.
The earnest looking, curly haired young man conscientiously took aim at the lips of the person underneath him and pressed a gentle kiss onto them.
Sirius’s eyes darkened. He restrained himself and didn’t immediately seize back dominance. His back was pressed firmly into the soft sofa. Those grayish-green eyes looked directly at him, a hidden expression of seriousness within them.
Sirius was dazzled.
Every time when he felt like he had figured out Nalun Charvey, the other would always unexpectedly do something that surprised him.
Sometimes, the skin on Nalun’s face was extremely thin. Whenever he discovered any hints of harm to his pride and self-esteem, he’d instantly deal a powerful attack or engage in self-defense. However, sometimes, this didn’t seem to happen at all.
Way back in the beginning, under the disguise of Big Beard and for the sake of freeing himself from suspicions, Nalun had proclaimed an ardent and deeply emotional confession towards him right out in public in front of numerous people; In the most recent time, Nalun was clearly still feigning sleep just one night ago to save his face. However, now that everything was laid out in the open, Nalun immediately started expressing feelings of intimacy towards him.
It’s like, as long as it’s Sirius, Nalun always did things that challenged his own self-esteem, and endured feelings of embarrassment and shame.
Just like right now. Under a reasonable state, it’d be very hard for the Honored Prince to do something like kissing proactively. He’d attribute all abnormal feelings towards Sirius to a strong sense of awkwardness. In addition, he’d also feel humbling himself to pursue a previous rival would be a very shameful thing.
Yet the reality was that–
Nalun’s grayish green eyes slowly closed, like he was really enjoying this kind of intimacy very much.
Sirius couldn’t resist thinking about a possibility– perhaps Nalun had already fallen in love with him a long time ago.
Otherwise, he couldn’t find any reasonable justification to make such a prideful person act to this extent.
Speaking of which, on his path to properly woo Nalun, he didn’t actually expend too much time and effort. Other than the night attacks recently, there was only yesterday night’s confession. Convincing this picky Honored Prince didn’t seem to be hard.
In fact, it was too simple.
However, if Nalun had already subconsciously developed feelings for him, as he was playing two roles, facing the trial, and doing his best to conceal everything, this was really…… the peak of awkwardness.
Sirius: “…..”
Placing a hand over the back of Nalun’s delicate neck, Sirius’s dark eyes flashed with a dim light. Just as he planned to take control, Nalun moved back first.
“Is there take out here?” Turning his face somewhat unnaturally, the Honored Prince asked in a very unperturbed manner with bright red ears: “After eating, we can…… go for a spin.”
Sirius didn’t move. He looked quietly for over ten seconds. Until Nalun started becoming nervous, he finally pounced and dragged the other into his arms in a hug, then nuzzled and stroked the tail end of Nalun’s curls roughly.
Excited to the point of dizziness, the Admiral waited until his breathing calmed down before finally opening the personal comp to properly order food.
Nalun: “???”
Sirius to himself: Gotta keep control of myself. Restraint. Restraint. Restraint!! AHHHHH my baobei is sooo adorably cute (ﾉ*>∀<)ﾉ♡
Also alsooo, yeeey! Nalun’s no longer just serving tsun! He’s serving the dere side as well kehehehehe
