Chapter 53 The Arrogant Prince 20
She had two options.
At this moment, Zhou Zichen had already brought the soup spoon to her lips.
"Sit a little closer, okay?" Xu Qiuqiu didn't drink immediately, but smiled and said to him.
Although he didn't understand why, Zhou Zichen, bewitched by her smile, obediently moved closer and continued to hold the soup spoon to her lips.
Seeing him sit closer, Xu Qiuqiu lowered her head and took a sip of her drink, then wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his thin lips.
The sound of a porcelain bowl falling to the ground and shattering rang out.
While he was still in a daze, Xu Qiuqiu pried open his lips and transferred the soup from her mouth into his mouth.
She won't drink the medicine.
She suddenly kissed him, and Zhou Zichen's mind went blank. His pupils dilated, his heart raced, and he even unconsciously swallowed the soup she poured into his mouth.
He was momentarily at a loss for how to react. Her lips were sweet and soft, and she gently kissed his lips while occasionally stirring his tongue.
He had never known that the feeling of entwining lips and tongue with her was so captivating.
He was so excited that he almost forgot who he was. He unconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist, closed his eyes, and tried to deepen the kiss in the same way she did.
The passionate and forceful kiss left Xu Qiuqiu dazed. How come he was so inexperienced at first, but she was overpowered in less than a minute?
And didn't that soup make him dizzy? How come he's even more energetic?
After the kiss ended, Zhou Zichen's eyes were red, he was breathing heavily, and his ears were also very red. He stared at Xu Qiuqiu without saying a word.
"Zichen," Xu Qiuqiu said after a moment's thought, breaking the silence.
Zhou Zichen pursed his lips. The passion in his heart had just subsided, and when he heard her call him affectionately again, he didn't know whether to be happy or angry.
Xu Qiuqiu reached out and touched his face, smiling gently at him, "I've never treated you as a substitute, really, believe me, okay?"
"But you were calling out to him yesterday, saying he gave you a silver bracelet and you were so envious of it." Zhou Zichen felt a pang of sadness when he thought about this. It was just a cheap silver bracelet. In the future, he would give Qiuqiu countless jewels so that she could wear a different one every day.
"..." Xu Qiuqiu was stunned. So that's how she revealed herself last night?
Seeing that she remained silent, Zhou Zichen's face darkened, but he felt even more distressed. See, he was right; she still had to deceive him.
Seeing Zhou Zichen's expression, Xu Qiuqiu smiled gently and comforted him, "It's all a misunderstanding. Ever since I met you, I've had a dream. In the dream, your name was Qi Chen, and we fell in love. You even gave me a silver bracelet as a token of our love. Last night, I got drunk and couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams..."
Ah Chen, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate my past. I have never had any dealings with a person named Qi Chen. When we first met, I wasn't wearing anything on my hands.
After saying that, Xu Qiuqiu admired her own made-up story, but it was also true. After all, Shi Qiu in this world had never met anyone, and wasn't the previous world just a dream of hers?
Hearing her words, Zhou Zichen's withered heart began to beat vividly again.
He couldn't help but smile. Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. When he first untied Qiuqiu, she really wasn't wearing anything on her wrists. Even when he grabbed her hand and rolled up her sleeve, her wrists were smooth and white, without any trace of jewelry.
Seeing that he was slightly more receptive, Xu Qiuqiu tried to hold her breath, turning her face red.
Then, she spoke shyly, "Ah Chen, I couldn't forget you the first time I saw you. Afterwards, I had a dream about being with you. The dream was so real that when I was half-asleep, I thought I was back in a dream, which is why I'm talking nonsense..."
Xu Qiuqiu held his hand, her watery eyes gentle, her face blushing, "Achen, actually I've liked you for a long time."
After saying that, she didn't look him in the eye, but lowered her head shyly to hide her gaze. Heaven knows how much she had to hold her breath to bring out the blush.
[Ding! The female lead's happiness level has increased by 20%. Her current happiness level is 70%.]
003 was stunned. "This is possible? I didn't expect my host to be so amazing. But what just happened? Why am I being blocked again?"
Seeing the girl's shy appearance and hearing her sweet yet straightforward expression of her feelings, Zhou Zichen felt excited, his face flushed with heat, and he was overjoyed.
Was it all just a misunderstanding?
He couldn't help but tighten his grip on their clasped hands. "Qiuqiu, is everything you said true?"
"Of course, doesn't Ah Chen believe me?" Xu Qiuqiu looked at him with a wronged expression.
Upon hearing her answer, Zhou Zichen couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. "I believe you. I believe whatever Qiuqiu says."
He then touched her cheek, his eyes filled with heartache and regret, "Qiuqiu, I'm sorry... Did I hurt you just now?"
He had just lost his temper and snapped at Qiuqiu. He was filled with remorse, blaming himself for getting angry without understanding the situation.
Xu Qiuqiu placed her hand on his and comforted him, saying, "It doesn't hurt, Achen."
Seeing Zhou Zichen back to normal, she felt much more relaxed. He seemed much more reassuring now.
"Qiuqiu, I'm sorry..." Zhou Zichen held her hand, leaned forward, and tenderly kissed the spot on her cheek where he had just pinched her.
Feeling his tenderness, Xu Qiuqiu's heart stirred, and she suddenly felt a strange fondness for him.
He sheathed all his sharp edges for her, revealing his most tender side to her.
He's so charming.
Xu Qiuqiu smiled and said, "Achen, it really doesn't hurt."
Zhou Zichen couldn't help but pull her into his arms, burying his head in her hair, his voice filled with grievance, "Qiuqiu, I thought you never liked me at all..."
He thought it was all just wishful thinking on his part…
His heart shattered into pieces last night; the pain was so intense he wished he could rip it out so he wouldn't feel so bad.
Hearing his slightly aggrieved voice, Xu Qiuqiu reached out and hugged his narrow waist. "Achen, from the beginning until now, I have always liked you, and I will like you even more in the future."
Zhou Zichen was so happy by her words that he didn't know where he was. "Qiuqiu, I liked you from the first moment I saw you."
From the moment he first saw her, his heart gave him the answer, though at that time he didn't understand what it meant.
Today, all the servants in the Prince's mansion felt that Prince Yan'an had changed. Prince Yan'an, who was usually picky and would tell people to get out at the drop of a hat, was surprisingly not angry today.
Moreover, they could vaguely see that he was smiling, which made the already fierce Prince Yan'an seem a little more humane.
