Chapter 853: He Loathed That Person!
Gu Xijiu did not wish to expose Di Fuyi’s secret, so she shook her head, "I was just asking. It was meant as an assumption."
Long Siye was relieved. He could not hold back his smile and continued to touch her hair, "Baby, the assumption is invalid. Take you as an example, your scent in your previous life is not what you have now, and that is because you have switched to a new body. I bet that your scent is nothing compared to the cloned body that is now lying in the ice coffin in Tianwen."
Long Siye rarely shared such an intimate interaction with her. His sudden touch on her hair made her flesh creep. She shivered even more when she heard him calling her ‘baby.’
She shifted her position a little to move away from his embrace, "Do not call me baby. You are acting as though I am some great, romantic lover."
Long Siye could not refrain from laughing, "Silly, isn’t this how lovers are supposed to be?"
Gu Xijiu’s heart skipped a beat. She coughed as she said, "Teacher Long, I have not promised you anything yet. We... we are not considered as lovers."
There was a hint of disappointment in Long Siye’s eyes, but he continued in a soft voice, "It is alright, I can wait. Xijiu, I am already pleased that you are giving me this opportunity. We have not spent any time as lovers before, so it is normal for you to feel strange. Sooner or later you will get used to it."
Would she get used to it, eventually? Gu Xijiu was not sure about it. She was not even hopeful. Long Siye made her feel touched and a little creeped out at the same time. She hastily changed the subject, "Are you still keeping the clone? I did not expect you to be able to make a clone in this era."
