After being reborn, Ruan Bei knew that when he turned seventeen, his wealthy biological parents would come to take him home. Then, he would spend several years as a hated “outsider” in the Lu famil...
How about it?
The standards were set based on your example...
The blush on Ruan Bei's face spread to her neck, and the section of her fair neck exposed by the shirt collar gradually turned light pink.
He turned his head away, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips: "It's... alright..."
"Not bad?" Qin Gu leaned close to him, so close they could hear each other's breath, his eyes smiling. "Just not bad? What did Xiao Bei find unsatisfactory? Tell me and I'll try my best to fix it, okay?"
"Move over a little." Ruan Bei's face was burning hot, and he reached out and pushed Qin Gu.
Qin Gu took the opportunity to grab his hand and squeeze it, his voice becoming even gentler and deeper: "Tell me what's wrong."
"Everything's fine, don't ask anymore." Ruan Bei realized Qin Gu was teasing him, and glared at him resentfully: "That was just a subtle way of putting it, you can interpret it yourself."
Qin Gu couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Okay, I'll interpret it myself. It means you're very satisfied with me, right?"
Ruan Bei couldn't help but laugh: "Pretty much."
"Another euphemism?" Qin Gu's smile never faded. While they were talking, he pulled Ruan Bei's hand and drew him into his arms.
Once she had a firm hold on him, she whispered in his ear with a smile, "Since Xiao Bei seems quite satisfied with me, how about approving my start date now?"
Ruan Bei flinched at the hot breath he was exhaling into her ear: "What do you mean by 'on duty'?"
"Boyfriend, huh?" Qin Gu chuckled, his right hand having somehow slid to Ruan Bei's cheek, gently lifting his chin so he could look directly at him. "Now that you've passed the test, can you start working?"
"Start work? Start what—um..."
Qin Gu pinched Ruan Bei's chin with his fingers and lowered his head to kiss her. A sense of satisfaction instantly rose in his chest. He had been thinking about this moment for a long time, so much so that he didn't dare to get close to Xiao Bei, for fear that he would do something beastly.
However, the next moment, that sense of satisfaction transformed into a deeper desire, an insatiable urge that made Qin Gu's eyes gradually redden. He embraced the treasure he had finally acquired and indulged in it to his heart's content.
The next day.
Ruan Bei sat at the table, pouting. Qin Gu placed the bowl of porridge in front of him and said with a smile, "How about we eat first? I'll go buy your favorite porridge."
Ruan Bei lowered her hand from her mouth and glared at him angrily: "How am I supposed to eat like this?"
His features are all beautiful, and his lips are no exception. They are beautifully shaped with delicate cupid's bow, making them perfect for kissing.
It was probably because it was so perfect that someone bit it and wouldn't let go, leaving a small bloodstain on its upper lip.
Qin Gu coughed lightly and whispered, "Then I'll feed you? I promise I won't touch the wound..."
Seeing the bad look in Ruan Bei's eyes, he quickly promised, "I'll definitely kiss you gently next time."
Do you want a next time?
"I told you to stop, you can't kiss anymore, your lips will swell up, but you just won't listen, you keep kissing, kissing, kissing, have you never kissed before!"
"No." Qin Gu said calmly, "This isn't the first time we're not very familiar with each other, we'll work on it together."
Actually, he had been holding back for too long, and he didn't want to do anything more outrageous right after confessing his feelings. The burning desire made him uncomfortable, so he kissed her a little longer.
Ruan Bei couldn't help but touch the corner of her lips. Was this the proper way to smooth them?
"And..." Qin Gu glanced at him furtively, his voice trailing off under Ruan Bei's glare, "I asked you if you were comfortable, and you said you were..."
Ruan Bei, enraged and embarrassed, retorted: "You...you performed poorly, you're suspended pending investigation!"
"No way!" Qin Gu was furious. He had finally gotten a job and had tasted meat last night. How could he accept going back to a vegetarian diet?
After pleading and cajoling, Ruan Bei finally managed to have the suspension revoked.
Ruan Bei took the spoon and ate half a bowl of porridge in silence. Actually, the injury was nothing serious and didn't hurt much, but... kissing until your lips were chapped was just too embarrassing!
He felt so ashamed that he wouldn't go out until the small scar disappeared!
After finishing the porridge, Qin Gu tidied the table, and Ruan Bei got up to help him. Suddenly, she remembered that there was a plate of cake in the bedroom.
In this kind of weather, it probably wouldn't be edible if left outside overnight. Ruan Bei went to bring the plate out and said regretfully, "I've only taken one bite, but it's quite delicious."
Fortunately, the cake was only about the size of a fist, so it wasn't too wasteful.
"Wait, don't throw it!" Qin Gu put down his chopsticks and rushed over.
Ruan Bei looked at him in surprise, then at the cake she was almost knocking over, and suddenly realized: "There's something in the cake?"
Qin Gu awkwardly touched his nose. Ruan Bei glanced at him, became interested, and poked around in the cake with a small fork, quickly finding something hard.
He parted the cake: "This is... a ring?"
It's still a pair of wedding rings, with an overall dark silver color, but it's not like silver. It's more lustrous and shiny than silver, but it's not as dazzling as diamonds. Its brilliance is understated.
Qin Gu picked up the ring and took it to be washed clean.
“I originally wanted to order a pair of wedding rings myself, but Uncle Feng said that the ritual objects he made for us were rings. I thought you might not be used to wearing too many rings on your hands, so I asked him to give me the things first.”
The Void Stone that Ruan Bei took back back was definitely not small when he gave it to his teammates. But in terms of size, it was definitely not small.
After consulting with them, Uncle Feng decided to make two magical artifacts, and after dividing them, he decided that the most suitable ones would be pendants or rings, depending on their size.
Considering its spatial magical artifact characteristics, rings were more convenient, so he made a pair of rings.
Fortunately, the materials are exceptional, so even though Uncle Feng didn't consider the design at all, the rings still look incredibly high-end and unique.
What he wanted was something unique. After seeing these rings, Qin Gu no longer liked the pair he had ordered before, and finally decided to use these two to confess his love.
Ruan Bei also fell in love with the pair of ring-shaped magical artifacts at first sight. Just from their appearance, they were very pleasing to his eye. He immediately picked out the ring that was slightly smaller and prepared to wear it.
"I'll do it." Qin Gu beat him to it and put the ring on Ruan Bei's middle finger.
“This is so beautiful. I remember the Void Stone wasn’t this color.” Ruan Bei looked at it over and over. His sister said that his hands were beautiful, with long and slender fingers. After wearing the ring, the two complemented each other.
"Other materials were added for solidification." Qin Gu knew a little about weapon crafting, but not much.
Ruan Bei nodded: "How do I use this?"
"Pour a little spiritual energy in, use your mental power, can you feel it?" Qin Gu taught him step by step.
Ruan Bei nodded excitedly: "I can feel it, there's a huge space."
The space was not very regular in shape, but roughly rectangular in shape, and about ten cubic meters in size.
"Take this." Qin Gu handed him a water glass: "Try it, put it in... Okay, you did it!"
Ruan Bei sensed the water glass that had appeared in his ring and was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He kept putting it in and putting it out, which made Qin Gu laugh.
After he had finally had his fill of playing, Qin Gu slowly reminded him, "Don't you still have things to do?"
"What's up?" Ruan Bei had been having so much fun that he had forgotten about his earlier unhappiness, and now he was all smiles and affection for Qin Gu.
"Here, put it on me." Qin Gu stuffed the remaining ring into Ruan Bei's hand.
Ruan Bei didn't stand on ceremony; she smiled and put it on him, even placing her hand next to his to compare. Hmm, it looked just as good.
"By the way, how did you come up with the idea of hiding a ring in a cake?" Ruan Bei couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it. It was so corny; he had never even considered using that method to confess his feelings.
Qin Gu was so amused by his laughter that he simply shrugged and confessed everything.
Ruan Bei was struggling with how to confess his feelings, and Qin Gu was also struggling, as he had never confessed to anyone before.
Unable to find a suitable idea or have any experience to refer to, Qin Gu thought of asking for outside help.
He looked around at everyone who knew about his relationship with Ruan Bei, and ruled out his father first, as he would most likely be ridiculed for going crazy, so he wouldn't agree.
Ruan Bei's former teammates seem to have a lot of ideas, but they are closer to Ruan Bei and might tip him off, so we can rule them out.
Two roommates, Dapeng is out of the question, he's straight and single, so he's a pass.
Bai Miaomiao... seems quite suitable, but the attributes don't match. He wants a dominant way of confessing, so Bai Miaomiao was removed.
When considering Bai Miaomiao, Qin Gu naturally thought of Bai Sen.
"You asked Bai Sen?" Ruan Bei was surprised and burst out laughing: "Didn't I tell you? He was a bachelor for decades in his previous life. What's the point of asking him?"
This life also progressed slowly, entirely thanks to Bai Miaomiao's cowardly pursuit of someone under Ruan Beidu's encouragement.
Yeah, I was just desperate and trying anything at the time.
Qin Gu was extremely depressed. At that time, he didn't know what had gotten into him, but he thought that since Bai Sen was older than him, he might have some kind of plan or intention, so he would borrow it for a while.
Although Bai Sen was surprised that he would ask him this, he still gave him advice. Qin Gu had also been suspicious, but Bai Sen assured him that this was a surprise, so Qin Gu believed him.
Fortunately, things turned out well due to unforeseen circumstances; otherwise, he would have definitely added some obstacles to Bosen's love life.
"This is really..." Ruan Bei chuckled. He really didn't expect Bai Sen's confession to be like this.
He hesitated for a moment between whether or not to remind Bai Miaomiao, but ultimately felt that matters of the heart should be left to them. Perhaps it was just a bit of fun for her?
Ruan Bei rested at home for a few days to recover from his "injuries." On a day with good weather, he met with Song Jiaxi, intending to have a good talk with the "little madman" and clarify things.
He asked Bai Miaomiao for Song Jiaxi's contact information. Bai Miaomiao was very curious about why he wanted to contact Song Jiaxi. After what happened at the engagement banquet, Bai Miaomiao regarded Song Jiaxi as a hero.
If it weren't for his father locking him up at home and not letting him go out, Bai Miaomiao would have wanted to befriend him.
When Bai Miaomiao told Ruan Bei that Song Jiaxi had been locked up, Ruan Bei thought he might not be able to get a date with him this time, but to his surprise, Song Jiaxi agreed right away.
Ruan Bei couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. Even though she knew he was crazy and out of control, the things he did for her were real. Even though he was locked up by his father, he still readily agreed to his invitation.
He remembers everything from his past life and will never forget his helplessness when he was on the verge of death, so he will never forgive Song Jiaxi. The best way for them to get along in this life is actually to meet as strangers and treat each other as strangers.
He wouldn't have to recall the pain of his past life, and Song Jiaxi wouldn't have to do these thankless things.
However, Ruan Bei misunderstood this time; the person who agreed to meet him was not Song Jiaxi herself.
After the engagement party, Song Jiaxi was taken home by her father, who beat her first and then locked her up, confiscating her phone.
