"Buying wine?"

Yan Chiyu raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something.

"Yes, yes!" The delicious ghee cake put away the jade gourd and then started dancing around excitedly, full of enthusiasm, not forgetting to be cute: "I want to buy Drunken Jade Heart in three days to celebrate the one-year anniversary of meeting you, but I've been to so many shops and they don't have it. Handsome brothers and sisters, do you know where I can find Drunken Jade Heart? I have lots and lots of money, can you take me to buy some?"

Wu Yue said, "Drunken Jade Heart? There's no Drunken Jade Heart for sale on the market. It's been gone for a long time."

"ah?"

Su Youbing's face fell instantly. She paced back and forth in a panic, "Because I'm an unlucky monster, no monster wants to play with me. Only the master treats me normally and often buys me food. The master's favorite wine is Drunken Jade Heart, and he'll be disappointed if I can't buy it... They're not selling it anymore! No wonder I've been searching all day and still can't find it... Waaah!"

"The 'adult' you're referring to, is it Ye Yueyao?" Yan Chiyu interjected slowly.

The sesame seed cake's big eyes sparkled like stars—the kind of eyes that seem to hold stars. Its childish voice, tinged with surprise, asked, "Does this older brother know my master?"

"We've met once."

A once-in-a-lifetime encounter, but unfortunately, we were never meant to be together again.

The young man chuckled slightly. "There's no such thing as Drunken Jade Heart on the market, but I do have it."

"real?!"

For Su Youbing, those few words were an unexpected delight. She excitedly rushed to Yan Chiyu, hugged his head, and rubbed her soft, chubby face against him like a kitten.

"Brother, sell me the Drunken Jade Heart! I'll give you all the money in the sachet."

With his view blocked by the adorable creature, Yan Chiyu could no longer see what was in front of him. He reached out and lifted the butter cake away, looking at her with a helpless expression, and said quietly, "Have you forgotten what you said? You hugged me, are you trying to make me as unlucky as this lady?"

Wu Yue laughed, "What a great deskmate in the capital! We share both hardship and misfortune."

The flaky pastry blinked, its cheeks puffed out. Its big, round eyes looked at the person in front of it, then it said softly, "I'm sorry, I was too excited."

Finally, Yan Chiyu gave Su Youbing two bottles of Drunken Jade Heart in exchange for Su Youbing coming to visit Wu Yue often.

Before leaving, Su Youbing landed on Wu Yue's shoulder and whispered, "Sister, in three days it will be the one-year anniversary of my meeting with Lord Ye Yue, and also his birthday. May I invite you?"

Wu Yue was taken aback. "Huh?"

“Every year it’s just the two of us demons celebrating his birthday. This year, I want to give him a surprise. Are we friends now?” Su Youbing asked shyly, blushing.

Wu Yue couldn't see the little cutie's face clearly, nor did she need to. She nodded almost without hesitation, "Okay, come find me that day."

Finally, he added with a smile, "You can take that brother with you too."

"Okay, okay, goodbye big brother and sister~"

The butter cake, carrying a jade gourd filled with the Drunken Jade Heart, swayed and disappeared into the night.

Wu Yue suddenly noticed the intense gaze beside her. "What are you looking at me for?"

"I suspect you're playing the female lead. How come I just finished telling you about the Night Moon Demon, and now a cursed demon related to the Night Moon Demon has appeared?"

Wu Yue actually thought about it seriously: "...Maybe. If I'm the female lead, then you're the male lead."

Yan Chiyu lowered his head and chuckled softly, "I suspect you're flirting with me."

Sweet nothings come out so easily, it's hard to resist.

"Be confident, and get rid of the word 'doubt'." As soon as the girl finished speaking, she gently gripped the boy's shirt collar with her slender hand, leaned in, and lightly kissed the corner of his lips.

The boy held her tightly, his faint, pleasant, and refreshing scent enveloping her.
