Upon hearing this, Shu Rou suddenly raised her head, her big eyes sparkling with admiration: "Wow! Brother Qin Xiao is so amazing! He can even see the cultural depth in a little outfit! Then...then are the ones I bought also very culturally rich? I specifically chose styles with lace, tulle, and some...um...with little bows and openwork designs! 'Yun Rou' said that these elements can be found in both classical art and modern fashion, it's...it's a classic inheritance and innovation!"
Qin Xiao couldn't catch his breath and almost died on the spot.
Lace... tulle... little bow... openwork...
This silly girl actually did a "deep analysis" and "precise purchasing" for him!
He now seriously suspects that the "lucky star temporary pendant" is actually a "social death star permanent halo"!
Looking into Shu Rou's clear, inquisitive eyes, filled with a plea for praise, all of Qin Xiao's defenses caught in his throat. What could he say? That she made a mistake? Wouldn't that negate his own "refined taste" and "cultural knowledge"?
He forced a smile: "...My beloved concubine...made a very good purchase, very...cultured."
"Great!" Shu Rou immediately cheered and jumped for joy, like a kitten that had been praised by its owner. She happily rubbed against Qin Xiao's chest, her soft body pressed tightly against his, bringing waves of sensation that made her heart flutter.
She leaned close to Qin Xiao's ear, her breath sweet and her voice so tender it seemed to drip with moisture: "Brother Qin Xiao, those... those little clothes with 'cultural significance,' I've put them all in the closet in my bedroom... Later, after we're done with our 'White Peony' performance, I'll... I'll change into them for you, okay?"
Qin Xiao felt a surge of heat rise from his dantian and rush straight to his limbs and bones.
The combined power of this "highly compatible overwrite package of innocent and naive personality" and "implantation program of unconditional devotion-type emotional circuit" is simply astonishing!
He swallowed hard, his voice hoarse and barely audible: "Okay...okay..."
"Shall we continue with our 'verbal probing,' Brother Qin Xiao?" Shu Rou blinked her big eyes, looking expectant.
Looking at her charming and innocent appearance, and then thinking about those "cultured" little clothes, Qin Xiao felt a surge of heat in his heart, and he had no mind to engage in any "verbal probing".
He lowered his head and kissed those chattering, red lips painted with sweet lip gloss.
"Mmm..." Shu Rou was caught off guard and exclaimed, but she quickly became immersed in the sudden kiss. She responded awkwardly, her hands unconsciously wrapping around Qin Xiao's neck, and her body pressed even more softly against him.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Shu Rou's face was flushed, she was panting, and her eyes were glazed over. A thin mist seemed to cover her shimmering peach blossom eyes, adding to her captivating charm.
“Brother Qin Xiao…” her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquettishness, “You…you’re cheating…this isn’t called ‘verbal probing’…”
Qin Xiao chuckled softly, his fingertips gently caressing her slightly swollen lips, his eyes burning with passion: "This is called... 'Increasing Affection,' the second of the 'Three Plays.' As for the third play..."
He scooped Shu Rou up in his arms and strode toward the bedroom, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "Naturally... we'll have a deeper conversation... about those 'cultural aspects'."
Held in his arms, Shu Rou listened to his deep, magnetic voice in her ear, and felt his strong, powerful heartbeat. Her face flushed crimson. She shyly buried her head in Qin Xiao's neck, her voice barely a whisper, yet filled with boundless anticipation and sweetness.
"Mmm... I'll do whatever Brother Qin Xiao says..."
Qin Xiao gently hooked the bedroom door shut with his foot, making a soft "click" sound, shutting out everything from the outside world.
