Bao Gucheng’s breath hitched.
Even the War God who had once traversed the world found his worldview thoroughly overturned by this scene!
The softness beneath, is it clouds?
"Xiao Chenger, is this bed uncomfortable?" Xi Zuzi, who hadn’t slept on the clouds for a long time, brought Bao Gucheng up here on a whim, only to realize it might be hard for him to accept.
Bao Gucheng quickly steadied himself.
The man’s resolute face, under the shining starlight, was sharp and steady: "It’s fine."
Bao Gucheng held her hand, slightly tightening his grip.
Even if the clouds are as soft as the sea, they are not a fraction as soft as her skin, so what is there to be shocked about lying on clouds?
"Xiao Chenger, let’s drink." Xi Zuzi popped open the cap and took a large sip first, "Mmm, this batch is especially fragrant!"
Without a cup, she drank directly.
Bao Gucheng took the bottle, and without showing any emotion, drank a large mouthful from the spot where her lips had been.
The strong liquor was a flavor unknown to him.
The liquid flowed down his throat, the burning sensation seemed to ignite a fire in his heart.
"Oh, Xiao Chenger, you handle alcohol well. Many people can’t even handle a drop of this Ancestor’s brew!"
"It’s alright." Bao Gucheng gazed at her.
The alcohol wouldn’t knock him out with one drop, but she... might just.
"No snacks with the drinks, uh, let’s play chess then! That Queen’s chess you mentioned earlier sounds so interesting..."
"There’s no chessboard."
"Yes, there is. Look up, Xiao Chenger."
Bao Gucheng followed the direction Xi Zuzi pointed with her slender finger, looking toward the ink-black sky.
The distant starry river seemed like a giant chessboard, with the stars scattered across as chess pieces.
Truly, stars scattered like chess! The most update n0vels are published on novęlfire.net
Xi Zuzi picked a few pleasing stars and with a graceful lift of her hand, arranged them into a chessboard pattern: "Xiao Chenger, let’s start."
Bao Gucheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
Keeping his expression steady: "Okay."
He tried to imitate Xi Zuzi’s hand gestures, maneuvering the stars from a distance.
Unexpectedly, the stars seemed spirited, moving in the direction he willed, obediently settling as chess pieces.
Xi Zuzi clapped her hands: "Xiao Chenger, you’re so smart!"
The sweat in his palms quietly hid away.
The two used the starry sky as their chessboard, taking a sip of wine and a move each, playing joyfully.
Soon, a game was finished.
"Again!" The little woman was full of interest, "This time, I’ve figured out the strategy."
Bao Gucheng took a sip of wine: "Alright."
They started another round.
As expected, Xi Zuzi won!
She was so happy she took three gulps!
Bao Gucheng took the bottle: "You cheated, Miss Zuzi."
"We agreed on one sip each."
Bao Gucheng stared at her.
"Uh, then..." Xi Zuzi was about to suggest, you drink three sips to make it even.
The man, without warning, had just put down the bottle when his long, strong arm wrapped around the back of her head, bending down to press his lips against hers, blocking her unspoken proposal!
No need to drink three more sips, just kiss back those extra two, and it’s even.
The chessboard above the sky shyly scattered across the galaxy.
The clouds rolled like veils, shrouding them in a private space.
Bao Gucheng lost control as the kiss deepened.
In this completely secluded space, one just wanted to abandon all worldly rules, moral standards, and act as freely as a deity.
Has she had her eighteenth birthday?
Can she handle his roughness and vigor?
He couldn’t care about those things anymore.
