Chapter 219: The Dark of the Night
Despite earning a good amount of points and preparing to meet and complete Jiang Roulan’s quest, I couldn’t feel happy. The moonlight leaked into the small building we managed to apprehend in the southwestern area of Longwan.
’To think they could see it that way.’
My back felt cold against the stone wall, unable to sleep, and following the new rules, I was alone tonight, the warmth of Qinglan and Yifei gone.
It wasn’t that I didn’t know what they meant.
As a leader, I shouldn’t be seen as some pathetic man who couldn’t live without sex or women, but at the same time...
Why should I conform to the needs and thoughts of others?
I didn’t know if these feelings of anger and frustration were unjustified, but somehow being told how to act wasn’t something I liked. It almost felt like someone forcing you to eat something you dislike and smiling while you suffer.
"Well, saying that... why are you here, Roulan?"
Despite this whole thing being part of her idea, she still came to my room in the dead of night, standing in her nightgown while leaning against my door.
Jiang Roulan tapped the door with a slightly embarassed expression. "You caught me..." She let out a dry laugh before stepping inside, her silken black dress fluttering in the light breeze. "How do I look?"
"You look like you want something." The words slipped from my mouth, but I didn’t regret them.
