Quan Ji thought Jun Chenlan's gaze was particularly adorable, and the abs she had "accidentally" brushed against earlier felt amazing to the touch.

The Star Abyss Emperor Sword, renowned throughout the continent for its invincible power, truly possesses a formidable physique.

Jun Chenlan quickly explained, "You can't always doubt me."

Quan Ji also felt that if she continued to tease Lan like this, Lan would eventually become withdrawn.

But she has never been a strong woman; she's just a cute but useless little thing.

Her voice softened slightly, and with that lazy, indifferent tone, she shook Jun Chenlan's finger and said, "I just... don't feel safe. After all, my friend Lan is too amazing."

The awkwardness of these two situations is off the charts. If Quan Qingchi, that chatterbox, were here, he would definitely comment: "It's so spicy, it's so irritating to the ears, so irritating to the eyes, sis, you're so hot."

However, even the straight-laced Jun Chenlan blushed when praised.

"Don't worry, Xingyuan's man would never lie to the woman he loves."

"He would never make any promises to the only girl he can be with."

"I made a promise to you, so I hope you can trust me too, okay?"

As he said this, he firmly grasped Quan Ji's jade-like hand with both of his large hands.

Quan Ji could feel the calluses on his palms and the warmth of his shyness.

Quan Ji nodded and smiled, "Okay, I believe you."

Looking at Quan Ji's obedient appearance, Jun Chenlan felt a little itchy and asked, "Can I pat her head?"

"sure."

After receiving confirmation, Jun Chenlan was about to reach out his hand, thinking that since they were already a couple, there was nothing wrong with patting his head—besides, they weren't in public, so there was nothing wrong with it.

However, in the instant he was thinking, Quan Ji's hand had already been placed on his silver-gray buzz cut and rubbed it.

"Good girl, Lan, you can trust me too."

"The men of the Star Abyss Empire do not lie, and neither does the glory of the Holy Glory Empire."

Jun Chenlan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Oh well, she's just a kid, a little girl, I'll spoil her.

However… whether Quan Ji truly didn't know or was pretending not to, throughout the entire Noah Continent, for all creatures, a female touching a male's head signifies affection, signifies…

Cough cough cough... cough cough cough cough!

Looking at Quan Ji's innocent and pure smile, Jun Chenlan felt that he should reflect on his own actions.

Quan Ji stopped patting her head. Jun Chenlan invited her to sit down and made her a cup of "cocoa milk," which he heard girls would like.

Quan Ji looked at the cocoa milk and thought: I don't like drinking this stuff that little girls drink, and I can't even drink it.

She asked, "Do you have any wine?"

Jun Chenlan staggered. "What?"

"liquor."

Jun Chenlan fell silent, put down his cup, and sat down opposite Quan Ji.

He sat upright, his legs slightly apart in a very proper manner, looking both serious and ascetic.

His voice was deep and resonant, like a bell, and magnetic. He said, "Quan Ji."

Quan Ji raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"

Jun Chenlan said, "You can't drink alcohol, especially when you're out and about with other men."

Quan Ji frowned: "Why? But this isn't outside. I've knocked down the wall. This is our room together, and you're not some other man."

Jun Chenlan actually thought Quan Ji's words made sense?

He shook his head in his mind.

Bewitched!

He said, "Anyway, no, everything else is fine, I can listen to you, but this is the only thing I can't do."

Quan Ji sounded aggrieved, but her voice was icy cold, as if it could freeze the entire room.

"But today is Valentine's Day."
