Chapter 54 The Arrogant Prince 21

After finally managing to coax Zhou Zichen away, Xu Qiuqiu raised her hand and rubbed her head. The feeling of being drunk had subsided considerably, and she no longer felt the heavy and dizzy feeling she had when she first woke up.

She suddenly thought of a question, "003, didn't you say that the hangover soup contained medicine? Why didn't it work for Zhou Zichen when he drank it just now?"

She was furious that he had drugged her, so she decided to retaliate and make him experience what it felt like to be drugged, which is why she came up with this idea.

It turned out that he hadn't fallen asleep; instead, he hugged her and kissed her even more passionately.

"He did drug her the first time, but I don't know why, the second time he just brought over a bowl of hangover soup." 003 answered truthfully, although it didn't understand why the second male lead changed his mind.

But wasn't the hangover soup broken? Although it didn't know how it broke, as it was blocked at the time, why did the host say that the second male lead drank it?

Xu Qiuqiu sat up in bed. "No wonder he didn't fall into a deep sleep."

Then two maids came into the Water Heating Pavilion. They cleaned up the mess on the floor and went to help Xu Qiuqiu wash and dress up.

Inside the study, Zhou Zichen busied himself at the table, next to which was a box of sparkling jewelry.

He hadn't forgotten the silver bracelet Qiuqiu had mentioned as a token of their love. Even if it was just a dream, he cared about it terribly, and he wanted to make one for her himself.

A figure in black flashed in. Zhou Zichen noticed the newcomer, but his gaze remained focused on the bracelet on his wrist. He spoke calmly, "Is the matter settled? Is there such a person as Qi Chen?"

"There is no such person," Shadow Two replied respectfully.

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Zichen felt relieved, his lips curved into a smile, and he looked tenderly at the bracelet on his hand.

Suddenly remembering something, his expression darkened again. "Go and find out who Shi Qiu used to be close to."

"Your subordinate obeys." After saying that, Shadow Two disappeared from the room as if he had never been there.

Zhou Zichen tightened his fingers. He had been so flustered by Qiuqiu's coaxing that he was only now realizing who taught her how to kiss him.

My heart, which was originally full of sweetness, started to ache again, feeling both sour and bitter.

The afternoon sun shone on the screen, and Xu Qiuqiu lay on the soft couch, eating grapes that her maid had peeled for her, feeling quite content.

It has to be said that this life is even more comfortable than her real world.

Zhou Zichen walked in with his lips pursed. Xu Qiuqiu's eyes lit up when she saw him. "Achen, you're here."

Zhou Zichen, who was initially filled with sorrow, miraculously felt some of his sadness disappear after seeing her eyes.

Seeing this, the maidservant wisely withdrew and closed the room door.

When Zhou Zichen came over, Xu Qiuqiu sat up and invited him to sit down with her.

Then she peeled a grape for him, held it to his lips, and said with a smile, "Achen, try it, it's very sweet."

His eyes fell upon her fair, delicate fingers, some juice still dripping from them as she peeled the grapes. He lowered his head and ate them, taking her fingers into his mouth and unconsciously licking them with his tongue.

Xu Qiuqiu quickly pulled her hand back, her face flushing involuntarily. His gaze towards her was unfathomable.

"Qiuqiu, I want more to eat." Zhou Zichen looked at her with lingering desire.

"Then, then you eat it." Xu Qiuqiu stuffed the fruit plate into his arms. She originally wanted to flirt with him, but unexpectedly she was the one being flirted with instead.

Zhou Zichen chuckled, put the fruit plate he was holding back on the table, took her hand, and carefully put the bracelet he had been making for a long time on her wrist.

The sapphire bracelet on her wrist made her hands look even whiter and more beautiful.

Seeing this, Zhou Zichen felt much better. "Qiuqiu, this is a keepsake I gave you. Do you like it?"

"I love it, it's so beautiful." Xu Qiuqiu raised her hand to look at it. "Thank you, Achen."

Zhou Zichen said sourly, "How does it compare to the silver bracelet in your dream?"

"..." Xu Qiuqiu was speechless for a moment. Was this joke going to stick?

It's just a pity that she can't take what he gave her with her; it only exists in this world.

Without much thought, she figured she had to appease him anyway, so sweet words just came out of her mouth: "I love what Achen gave me the most, I love Achen the most."

[Beep, the female lead's happiness level has increased by 10%, currently at 80%]

Seeing her eyes crinkling with delight, as if she were absolutely smitten, Zhou Zichen felt happy again.

He took her hand, his eyes tender. "Qiuqiu, I just had someone pick a date for our wedding. It's set for the eighth day of the first lunar month."

"So fast?" Xu Qiuqiu blurted out.

Chenyue is March, and if she remembered correctly, it's the first day of March now. So, in seven days, she'll be getting married to him?

Seeing that she showed no surprise, but rather astonishment, Zhou Zichen felt uncomfortable. "Qiuqiu, don't you want to marry me soon?"

Xu Qiuqiu suppressed her surprise. "No, it just felt too fast and too rushed."

"Really? I feel like it's too slow." Zhou Zichen felt a pang of pain in his heart. He so longed to marry her, but she seemed to have no expectations at all.

Seeing his face grow increasingly pale, Xu Qiuqiu quickly tried to salvage the situation, "Achen is right, it is indeed too slow. I wish I could marry you tomorrow."
