Chapter 265

Lin Qi paused for a moment and said, "Patting the head?"

Bronya did not speak again.

Instead, she nodded gently.

The girl's shyness was laid bare at this moment.

It took considerable courage for her to make this request.

She even felt it was somewhat "excessive."

Outsiders would find it hard to imagine that the Great Guardian, who had already begun to possess authority, was like a little girl before Lin Qi...

But to Lin Qi, Bronya truly was not much different from a little girl.

Clearly, only ten years ago, she was that small.

In the blink of an eye.

She had grown into a young lady.

As for patting the head...

"Sure." Lin Qi nodded with a smile, "Future rewards will be given to you in this way."

"Thank you, Commander my lord."

At this moment.

Bronya was satisfied.

For her.

This was the best reward.

For a time.

The atmosphere in the General Office became much more harmonious.

Until a soft sound of surprise rang out.

However, the voice was so low that Bronya, with her unmodified body, could not perceive it keenly.

Or rather.

In her current state, Bronya was completely unguarded.

She had no time to pay Gu Ji to the outside situation.

She only wanted to enjoy this brief moment of "head-patting" time.

But Lin Qi heard it very clearly.

He even knew who had let out that surprised low cry.

It was his scribe.

That is, Pela.

So...

Caught in the act?

No.

He and Bronya were innocent; nothing had happened at all, so what was there to be embarrassed about?

Moreover.

Even if something truly had happened, no one in all of Jarilo could say a single word.

They would only think it was natural.

But he could not let Pela wait forever; if others came again, it would be even more troublesome.

"Bronya, is the person I am preparing to meet almost at the meeting time?"

"So soon? Oh, it seems so!"

Bronya stood up with some regret, even feeling somewhat reluctant to leave.

If only they were not in the General Office, how wonderful that would be?

Could she lean against Commander my lord for as long as she wanted?

Bronya could not help but think.

But she did not forget what Lin Qi had instructed; she left the General Office and began preparing the relevant matters for the meeting.

However, she had only just reached the door when she paused for a moment.

She saw a small, blue-haired girl meticulously organizing documents.

If one only looked at her expression, one would think this girl worked very seriously.

But the problem was...

"Pela, why is your face red? And so red?" Bronya asked in confusion.

"Is it? Is my face very red?"

Pela quickly put down the book and touched her own cheek.

Then, even through her gloves, she could feel a little bit of heat.

Clearly.

Her face was not only red, but also very hot.

It was as if she had seen some particularly stimulating scene, causing one's blood to surge.

Pela stammered, "I-I-I, I might... have a slight fever. Yes! Just a fever; I seem to have caught a cold recently."

"I see."

Bronya nodded and replied, "A cold, indeed. This has been an epidemic recently; many children have caught it. But then again, when Jarilo was still shrouded by the cold wave, 'cold' was a completely foreign word; back then, we could even adapt to temperatures of minus forty-one degrees and below. Now that the four seasons change normally, we have started to catch these minor illnesses. But this is also a kind of happiness, isn't it?"

"Hmm..."

Pela could only nod; she couldn't very well say her cold was fake, could she?

The reason for the blush was entirely because of you, Great Guardian my lord!

To be precise.

It was because she had seen something she "should not have seen."

Because the meeting time was approaching.

And because she, Pela, was Lin Qi's secretary, she could freely enter and exit many places.

She came to the conference hall to report to Lin Qi.

Who would have thought.

She would actually witness a scene that nearly made her cry out.

Pela clearly saw the Commander my lord sitting in the Great Guardian's seat.

Where was the Great Guardian?

One could only see a small half of a head level with Lin Qi's waist.

And it was moving up and down.

This scene...

Instantly made Pela think of the scenes described in the books she had read.

It could be described in one word.

Biting?

Hiss~

Absolutely!

Pela had long noticed that Bronya's gaze at Lin Qi was off.

But she was far too bold!

To engage in such unspeakable acts in the administrative office, the most solemn scene in the Jarilo system.

But then again.

It was indeed somewhat thrilling.

Making Pela's breathing quicken, her small face flushed red.

So much so that when she bid farewell to Bronya and prepared to report to Lin Qi, she still hadn't recovered.

Then she looked up at Lin Qi's meaningful gaze.

Instantly.

Pela's heart skipped a beat, sensing something was wrong.

We're doomed!
