Jacob and Kyle, the two friends, chatted for a long ti. Kyle was especially full of expectations for university life. He couldn't wait to start his university experience, or rather, to have a passionate romance at university.
It wasn't until 10 PM that the two finally hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Jacob then dialed Raya's number.
"Ring, ring, ring."
The phone rang for a while, but no one answered. Just as Jacob thought Raya was already asleep and was about to hang up, the call finally connected.
A cold voice ca from the other end of the line: "Raya is taking a shower."
"Click."
It wasn't until the call had been disconnected for a while that Jacob realized it was Layne who had answered the phone.
Jacob rubbed his nose. Why did Layne have such a big problem with him? From her tone, it wasn't hard to tell that she was quite dissatisfied with him. She didn't even want to speak to him properly.
...
About ten minutes later, Jacob's phone rang. Raya, who had finished her shower, called him back.
"Hello~"
The charming and gentle voice from the other end of the line made Jacob's heart flutter as he lay on the empty bed.
Especially in the dead of night, it made Jacob's blood boil.
Ah! This was his burning youth.
"Hello?"
Seeing no response from the other end of the phone, Raya's tone beca questioning.
"I'm here," Jacob quickly replied.
"Is there sothing you need, calling so late?" Raya, who had just finished blow-drying her hair, was wearing silk pajamas and lying on her bed. She twirled her fingers through her hair as she chatted with Jacob, looking like a cute girl.
"There is sothing." Speaking of business, Jacob also let go of the distracting thoughts in his mind and brought up Maximus's plan to challenge for the Champion title.
Before Jacob had even finished speaking, the clever Raya had already guessed Jacob's intention.
"You want Maximus to co to the Eastern region, and I'll go easy on him?"
It had to be said that Raya's intelligence—if she were on the opposing side, would indeed be very annoying. But if she was on your side, it felt very thoughtful.
"Yes," Jacob replied. "Raya, Maximus is my master, so I must support him as much as possible. Moreover, Magic City in the Eastern region is closest to the Secret Realm of Aurora City. When we go to explore Aurora City, if my master is there to look after us, it will be much more convenient. So I hope..."
"I agree," Raya said directly before Jacob had finished speaking.
"But I have to tell you—I'm only agreeing because of you." Raya changed her tone and continued, "Tell , how do you plan to thank ?"
"Huh?" Jacob hadn't expected Raya to agree so readily. He was stunned for a mont before reacting. "You tell , how do you want
to thank you?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. How about this—you owe
a favor, and I'll tell you when I've thought about it," Raya said with a smile.
"Alright. It's a deal then," Jacob said. "When are you free in the next two days to co to League City? You and Maximus can et and discuss this in person."
"Tomorrow. I'll be coming to League City anyway tomorrow," Raya replied.
"Okay, then I'll tell Master tomorrow."
After finishing their business discussion, the phone fell silent again. The complicated relationship between the two made Jacob unsure what to say next.
"Um..." After more than ten seconds, Jacob finally broke the silence. "Guess where I am now?"
"Purple Mountain Villa," Raya said without hesitation.
"How did you know?" Jacob asked in surprise.
"The access control system showed a notification that soone entered Purple Mountain Villa. Besides
and Layne, only you can enter Purple Mountain Villa," Raya's tone was filled with a hint of playfulness.
"???" Jacob was full of questions. "Are you monitoring ? There aren't caras in the house, are there?"
"I'm not monitoring you. Don't worry—besides the caras installed around the villa's periter, there are no caras inside the house," Raya said with a smile. "However..."
"Jacob, if you bring a woman back to Purple Mountain Villa for the night, I'll know," Raya's tone carried a hint of teasing, but for so reason, Jacob heard a warning in it.
"Am I that kind of person?" Jacob protested.
"Why not?" Raya said with a smile. "You know best what kind of person you are."
"That's slander."
...
After they chatted for a while longer, Jacob led the conversation to the newly renovated Purple Mountain Villa. "By the way, after Purple Mountain Villa was renovated, have you been back to see it?"
"No," Raya shook her head. She was usually very busy. Where would she have ti to go back to Purple Mountain Villa?
"Let's video call. I'll show you the renovation of Purple Mountain Villa," Jacob suggested.
"Now?"
"Now."
Jacob was a little nervous. What he said about showing the renovation was actually just an excuse to video call Raya.
Raya also guessed that Jacob might want to see her, but won were just that strange. As long as she was willing, no matter how clumsy the excuse, she would also pretend to be confused while knowing full well.
"Okay, then call ," Raya said. She slightly got up and adjusted her hair and pajamas in front of the mirror.
"Ring."
The two nervous people opened the video call.
Raya in front of the cara was still as beautiful and enchanting as ever, and her lace pajamas added a few more points of unusual charm.
"I'll show you around. This is the bedroom."
"Mm."
"This is the living room..."
"Mm."
...
That night, they chatted for a long ti. Before they knew it, it was late at night. After Layne reminded Raya two or three tis, the two reluctantly hung up the phone.
"See you tomorrow."
"Mm, see you tomorrow."
Tossing and turning, unable to sleep all night.
...
The next day, Jacob called Maximus early in the morning, telling him that Raya would be coming to League City today, and they would all have dinner together in the evening.
At night, the three t at a restaurant. Raya personally guaranteed at the dinner table that she wouldn't make things difficult for Maximus.
Although Maximus was a little surprised when Raya beca so easy to talk to, since he had Raya's personal guarantee, Maximus naturally had no more worries.
Without the obstruction of Raya, the Fairy-type Heavenly King, the Eastern region was undoubtedly Maximus's best destination.
After the dinner, Maximus naturally returned to the Dragon-type Secret Realm, while Raya and Jacob got into the sa car. The atmosphere was slightly ambiguous, and Zion, who was driving, remained silent.
"Do you want to go see Purple Mountain Villa?" Jacob, sitting in the car, asked Raya beside him. "Yesterday we only saw it on video. Why don't we go see it in person today?"
"Mm..." Raya's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and her face was turned away. She seed to be looking at the scenery outside the car, but her fair cheeks were flushed with pink.
Clever as she was, she naturally knew what ideas Jacob had in mind.
It's rare to be confused, rare to be confused.
