Chapter 850 - Thank You
After making the personnel placement, Gao Ge just leaves everything behind.
His job is to navigate the general orientation. As to the rest, he is unwilling to interfere. Neither can he interfere. Otherwise, the so-called directors will be like existing in name only. Besides, there are not many members in the Star Sect, most of whom are trusted by him. He is reassured to let them handle those things.
Most importantly...
He has never worried about whether other people will seize the position of the sovereign of the Star Sect.
If that really happens, it seems that he will feel a lot less burdened.
He shakes his head and doesn’t want to think too much about that.
Sitting on the sofa, Xia Lu dressed in pajamas is watching TV with her feet placed on the wooden tea table. She is also holding a pack of chips. Why does this place have access to electricity and Internet? Of course, it is because they are rich.
As far as Gao Ge knows, many cultivation schools don’t even have access to electricity, let alone the Internet. Actually, it is pretty normal. After all, as a cultivator, one shouldn’t waste too much time on entertainment. Especially some young disciples are very poorly-disciplined. If they just spend their time watching TV and playing games every day, how can they elevate their cultivation levels?
Gao Ge doesn’t think so.
He still believes that cultivation relies on self-motivation. If one cannot even control his own desire and must be disciplined by others, he shouldn’t be a cultivator at all.
At least, such a thing won’t happen in the cultivation academy.
If one needs to be ordered to cultivate, he shouldn’t engage in cultivation at all.
Laughters suddenly sounds in Gao Ge’s ears.
He turns to look at Xia Lu shaking with laughter and stays silent for a moment. Then, his gaze settles on the TV. It seems to be some variety show being broadcast but he shows little interest in this kind of program. It is also difficult for him to get the punch line.
After the variety show is over, Xia Lu looks at the iPad. It is a TV drama adapted from an online novel that is playing.
Having watched the opening, she just finds it boring so she turns the iPad off.
“Gao Ge, the original novel is obviously amazing but why does it become so tedious after it is made into a TV drama? The plot has been messily adapted beyond recognition. What’s wrong with the scriptwriters? Isn’t it nice to keep it original?”
“No.” Gao Ge laughs, “If I were them, I would adapt the novel to the point where it was completely different from the original.”
“Why?” Xia Lu gazes at Gao Ge with her eyes wide open in disbelief. This is so illogical!
Gao Ge coughs. He sits on the sofa and stretches out his arm. Xia Lu rolls her eyes at him and rests her head on his arm.
“First of all, if I am a scriptwriter and I just make the drama a hit without making any effort, what will the producers and the director think? Oh dang, it turns out that the online novel will be well-received if it is directly made into a drama. Why do they buy any scripts then? In this case, the scriptwriters will lose their jobs.”
Xia Lu grins. It is hard to say whether Gao Ge has made a good point or a preposterous argument.
“By the way, you told me that my brother mentioned doing something for those Dragon Killers. What on earth did he do?”
Gao Ge shakes his head, “I’ve asked him about this.”
“What did he say?”
“He said it was none of my business,” Gao Ge rubs his nose and then answers with a bitter smile.
Xia Lu bursts out laughing.
It sounds like what Xia Shengtang will say.
As Xia Shengtang’s sister, Xia Lu feels that she knows her brother well.
“Actually, it doesn’t matter. He didn’t tell me what he had done but he still said something.”
“What did he say?”
“He asked me to rest assured. It was not anything against reason and nature. Neither would it jeopardize Huaxia or the Dragon Court.” Gao Ge heaves a sigh, “I think that is enough.”
Xia Lu nods her head.
In her opinion, although her brother is not good-tempered, he still won’t do anything wicked.
She has such confidence in Xia Shengtang.
“When will Meng Jing come here?” Xia Lu suddenly asks.
“I don’t know.” Gao Ge shakes his head, “Do you know why she asked me to come here first?”
Xia Lu is not a silly girl. Of course, she knows why, “It is simply because she thinks that you two spent the Spring Festival together. As a result...”
Gao Ge chuckles but his smile seems to be mischievous now.
Seeing Gao Ge’s strange smile, Xia Lu suddenly has a sense of foreboding.
“Jing said that I was not young now.”
Xia Lu feels so confounded.
He is only 20 years old. He is not young now?
Yet, she doesn’t interrupt Gao Ge but waits patiently to see what Gao Ge is going to say next.
“Since I’m not young, it is time for me to have a baby,” Gao Ge says calmly, “She said that she was afraid of pain and that someone needed to do it first.”
Xia Lu immediately flushes and her eyes are covered with a layer of water. She looks at Gao Ge in an increasingly strange way.
“What are you talking about...”
“Have a guess.” Gao Ge suddenly stands up and then carries Xia Lu in his arms.
“What are you doing?” Xia Lu wiggles her body at once, struggling with her limbs.
She looks...like a crab that has been tied up.
“Don’t move.” Gao Ge spanks her butt.
Xia Lu is speechless.
She suddenly becomes nervous.
historical
It is not that she cannot do it with Gao Ge.
Instead, she just feels that she is not ready yet.
They were friends before and now, they suddenly become lovers.
She is not used to the role transition yet. Now, they are suddenly moving to the next step.
She cannot keep up then.
“Bang.”
Gao Ge directly throws her onto the bed.
Then, he hops on the bed too.
Xia Lu wants to push him away but suddenly, she is held in his arms.
“Don’t move. I just...want to hold you in my arms and sleep.”
“No one would believe that sh*t!” Xia Lu snaps.
Men’s words at the moment can never be trusted.
They always say they will only hug you, sleep without doing anything else, have a kiss, nuzzle only...
Xia Lu has never experienced that before but it doesn’t mean that she knows nothing about it!
The night wind blows by. The air seems to be filled with a mesmerizing scent.
“Xia Lu.”
“Yes?”
In the darkness, Xia Lu cannot see Gao Ge’s facial expression but...
She seems able to imagine his loving eyes.
“Thank you.”
Xia Lu’s voice is a bit trembling, “What for?”
“Thank you for being with me all the time. Thank you for bearing with me,” Gao Ge says gently.
“...”
After being silent for a moment, Xia Lu asks, “So...is this the reason why you want to take advantage of me?”
“I said, I only want to hold you in my arms and sleep...”
“Humph.”
