Chapter 55 The Arrogant Prince 22

"Really?" Zhou Zichen looked at her with a skeptical expression.

"Really, really." Xu Qiuqiu nodded obediently.

The boy in front of her didn't say a word, staring at her for a long time. Xu Qiuqiu was almost nervous from his gaze when he suddenly picked her up around the waist.

She gasped and clutched his clothes tightly; the feeling of being suspended in mid-air frightened her.

I never imagined that I would experience a princess carry, something I've never done in real life, several times in this world.

Zhou Zichen gently placed her on the bed, then bent down and kissed her.

His soft lips descended, his breath pressing against hers, and Xu Qiuqiu instinctively reached out and pushed against his chest.

She pushed him away, but Zhou Zichen grabbed her hand and pinned it down, slipping it between her fingers to intertwine them, before a more intense kiss followed.

An irresistible kiss, giving her no chance to resist, made Xu Qiuqiu's heart pound, and the temperature in the air gradually rose.

Zhou Zichen pressed her down and kissed her as if punishing her, not giving her any chance to refuse.

He was still angry. When he thought about how she had kissed other people like that before, it felt like a hole had been punched in his heart, and he was in unbearable pain.

He didn't know how long they kissed before he stopped, released his grip on her, pulled her into his arms, and gently coaxed, "Qiuqiu, sleep with me for a while."

He hadn't had a proper rest for several days in a row, and he always felt uneasy when she wasn't by his side.

Looking at the darkness in his eyes, Xu Qiuqiu felt a pang of heartache. She stopped dwelling on his forceful behavior and said, "Achen, go to sleep."

Zhou Zichen kissed her hair, pressed his forehead against hers, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

His breathing gradually became steady, and Xu Qiuqiu knew that he had fallen asleep. She didn't dare to move around for fear of waking him.

Her gaze fell on the bracelet on his wrist, and she found him rather endearing; he was so petty about such a small thing.

Smelling the spikenard scent emanating from him, she unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up again, it was already dark. There was no one by her bedside, and she was still covered with a blanket.

Only one candle was lit in the room, giving it a somewhat hazy feel.

Xu Qiuqiu stretched and yawned. She didn't expect that she would sleep until night. When did she become such a good sleeper?

At this moment, Zhou Zichen was in the study looking at the information he had gathered from the movie "The Movie 2".

The more he looked at her, the more distressed he felt. No wonder Qiuqiu couldn't even evade an assassination attempt by an ordinary woman before; it turned out that Murong Gu had crippled her martial arts before she was sent here.

He felt that it was too lenient to cut off Murong Gu's head with a single sword stroke. He should have cut off his flesh piece by piece until he died of pain and was left with only a skeleton.

What bothered him most was that Qiuqiu had once been in love with Murong Gu, fought for him on the battlefield, and helped him ascend the throne...

He couldn't stop thinking about what had happened between them, and the more he thought about it, the more heartbroken he felt.

He felt he shouldn't be so petty; it was all in the past, Murong Gu was dead, but his heart still ached terribly. He had only ever loved her; she had loved others before him…

This feeling hadn't subsided even when he was having dinner with Qiuqiu.

Looking at Zhou Zichen, who had been sitting down with a stern face, Xu Qiuqiu was a little confused. Why was he unhappy again?

She used serving chopsticks to put a slice of chicken breast on his plate, saying, "Achen, this is delicious, you should try it."

Zhou Zichen glanced at the meat on the plate. He didn't feel happy at all. Weren't they about to become husband and wife? Why was Qiuqiu using serving chopsticks to put food on his plate?

Seeing that he seemed even more unhappy, Xu Qiuqiu asked with some confusion, "Achen, what's wrong?"

Zhou Zichen calmed himself down and sat down next to her. As he got closer, his eyes looked somewhat forlorn. "Besides me, who else have you kissed?"

"..." Xu Qiuqiu's fingers holding the chopsticks paused. What kind of question was this? It was like a young wife asking her husband about his romantic history. Their roles had been reversed?

Is this still the cold-blooded, ruthless, and merciless little devil from the 003 materials?

Xu Qiuqiu blinked innocently, her face neither blushing nor skipping a beat, "No, I've only kissed you."

It was true, though. When she transmigrated, Shi Qiu hadn't yet reached the point of having a bittersweet romance with Murong Gu, so naturally, her first kiss in this world was with him.

After saying that, she smiled and leaned in to kiss him on the lips. "Achen, don't be upset. Really, I've only ever been close to you."

After being coaxed by her, Zhou Zichen was so happy that he was dizzy again. He stopped hesitating and hugged her waist, unable to resist kissing her lips.
