making a double edged vow
“Just do everything you can. In the future, as long as you want something, I will do it for you, as long as it's in my capacity to give. Please save him. I will give you anything you desire in exchange, as long as I have it, of course.” Murong Wuque chuckled and gave Alvin a wicked side glance. “Anything? Really?” He chuckled again. “You're either too innocent and naive, or cutely stupid. The world is a dangerous place, such promises would only be equivalent to signing up for trouble.” Alvin took a deep breath and licked his lips, turning to Murong Wuque, his gaze earnest. “I will never make such a promise to another person, but you're different.” Murong Wuque froze for a while, and slowly turned to look at his face after a few seconds. “What?” “I know people are evil and greedy. Making such promises would be equivalent to giving them the ammunition to hurt you. But you're different, you're Murong Wuque. You will never ask me to do something evil or despicable to repay a fa
HELP FROM HEAVEN
“You want to help me?” Alvin asked wide eyed. “Is the sun rising from the underworld today?” Murong Wuque looked at him and averted his eyes. “His condition is complicated and death aura has already surrounded him. If you do it in your current condition, at best you will be severely injured or nearly crippled. At worst, both of you will die together. Since I'm here, I might as well do it and avoid an unlucky sight.” The moment he finished speaking he made a sweeping gesture with two fingers and all the pins went back to the silver container which snapped shut. Alvin scoffed, then licked his lips and laughed. “I have to admit, you look cute when you act like this. You're trying to help, do you even know what's wrong with him?” “If I said I can do it, then I can. I never speak rashly. Do you want me to help or not?” “Yes, of course. He should do everything himself.” The system shouted loudly even before Alvin could reply. Alvin gave him a polite smile and stepped backwards.
LET ME DO IT
Elena's eyes brightened up with hope and she clasped her hands together in silent plea, without even realizing it. “Really, young master…” She added hesitantly, “don't you need to rest more or anything else. You just woke up yourself.” Alvin scoffed in his heart. ‘If I want to rest, will you let me? Or would you cuss me out in your mind?’ He smiled at her and stood up, his palms on the dining table. “Don't worry, I will manage myself. I'm not any less worried than you are about his condition. I only ate first because I had zero energy. If not, I would have rushed to him first thing. Let's go.” He made his way towards the door with Elena hot on his heels. “Wait, where are you guys going?” Murong Wuque asked, appearing before Alvin. Alvin gave him a side eye and kept mute. Elena smiled awkwardly and immediately rushed to diffuse the situation. “We're going to see my sick brother and start his treatment. He has been unconscious for a while.” The corner of his eyebrow sli
welcoming chaos
It seemed as if Murong Wuque was determined to eat Alvin to bankruptcy, and the others were either playing along or tagging along. Soon Shi Wei stopped eating and gasped out, collapsing back against his chair, Shi Qian Ling soon followed. Alvin was already feeling bloated, but each time his eyes met Murong Wuque’s and saw the teasing, wicked smirk, his anger would flare up, he would continue eating, as if trying to prove a point. Qin Li soon slowed, gasping and wheezing. After a while, he sighed and patted his belly. He stood up and staggered to the nearest sofa. “It's so hot in here…” He muttered, fanning his face with his fingers. “Ah? Ho… hot?” Amanda stammered, wondering if she heard him right. She rushed to the air conditioner and adjusted it till a cold air filled the room. Qin Li sighed in relief and sat cross legged, quickly trying to convert the excess food to energy. Alvin looked at Murong Wuque from the tail of his eyes, and saw him still eating and drinking
Being petty
Murong Wuque was sitting at the head of the table where the master of the house was meant to sit, his fingers flexed elegantly on the dining table as he waited for Martha to serve him. Martha's hand shook in fear. Just being around Murong Wuque made her feel cold down to the pits of her stomach; even to her bones. He always had this aura of frost and danger around him, despite his angelic beauty and fragile stature which made him look like a pretty girl. “Hmmph!”Murong Wuque's eyes went to Amanda who had made the sound. She immediately shrank back, and hid behind Elena. Elena smiled and stepped forward. “Young master, there are lots of dishes to choose from, let me serve you.”She collected the crystal wine flask from the shaky Martha and poured him some wine. “We have wine, fruit juice from the special fruits young master brought back, mixed with our indigenous pineapple. There are ten dishes in total. And the first course is this: Coq a Vin; chicken and mushroom soup cooked i
Irks me off
“Oh? Is it the silver haired girl? I saw him checking out appliances. He's going around the house, giving himself a tour and messing with everything in sight to figure out how they work. Let's just pray he doesn't spoil Leah's laptop. I saw him fiddling with it before he disappeared.” Amanda cut in with a vicious expression on her face. She was normally the easygoing type, but something about Murong Wuque ticked her off and made her automatically jealous of him. “Tch! He's just like a three year old on a trip to wonderland. Wimpy sissy.” Alvin looked at him derisively from head to toe. “I never knew you were good at bad mouthing others. Wimpy sissy? That wimp can destroy the whole of Ameria with a snap of his fingers. Just let him catch you calling him a girl, you will know what it means to wish for death, and that living could be more painful than dying.” Amanda sneered, dismissing Alvin's criticism. “He can't understand English anyway, he came from under a rock. Who will t
