Chapter 1009 Marshal, Long Time No See (The Godfather episode ends)
Her lips were incredibly soft. He had only intended to take a quick sip, but he soon found himself unable to stop.
Gu Jiao was awakened by his kiss and mumbled a sleepy "hmm".
The most lethal touches are often the most subtle; he nearly lost his composure amidst her whispers.
He reluctantly released her, his chest heaving and his breathing short. If the light in the hibernation pod hadn't been so dim, and if Gu Jiao hadn't been so drunk, his slightly flushed face would probably have been noticeable.
Gu Jiao looked at the handsome face so close to her with hazy eyes, raised her slender fingertips and pinched his burning cheek, saying drunkenly, "Huh? How come I can still dream about this?"
She pinched, pinched, and pinched again.
He let her little hands roam freely across his face, and his heart gradually calmed down.
She was drunk, and I really shouldn't have taken advantage of her at a time like this.
He then planned to lie back down, but to his surprise, Gu Jiao grabbed his collar and glared at him fiercely.
He didn't know what she was doing, so he could only let her hold him.
She was so drunk that she should have been asleep, but instead she kept her eyes wide open, staring at him intently, as if trying to discern whether he was real or not.
"No...it's not a dream..." she said in surprise, "You...kissed me?"
He said without changing his expression, "This is my hibernation pod. You lay down here by yourself."
Gu Jiao blinked. The effects of the alcohol were still there, and her mind was buzzing. She didn't immediately realize that there was anything wrong with the logic.
Wait, that's still not right.
She said seriously, "There's more than one hibernation pod."
He said, "I'm not a fan of sleeping in unfamiliar beds."
The naive Gu Jiao was successfully swayed by him: "So...it seems like I'm in the wrong. Then...then...it wasn't me who took the initiative just now..."
He looked at her, forcing himself to remain calm: "You said you liked me one minute, and the next you went into my hibernation pod. What do you think?"
Gu Jiao lowered her eyes, and the way she grabbed his collar changed from both hands to four tiny fingers, and she only pinched it once, looking particularly guilty.
A moment later, she closed her eyes and said, "I'm asleep!"
godfather:"……"
The godfather looked at her face as she pretended to be asleep, his gaze tracing her features before finally settling on her lips, which he had kissed until they were swollen and red.
He couldn't resist in the end and pressed her down to kiss her hard again.
Gu Jiao looked at him with her big, watery eyes: "This time it wasn't my initiative."
He lowered his head and gently kissed the corner of her lips, his voice hoarse as he asked, "Is it me... Are you sober now?"
Gu Jiao nodded.
He braced himself on his hands beside her, gazing intently at her. Suddenly, he opened the hibernation pod and lifted her out.
Gu Jiao pouted and said, "We already kissed, and you're still letting me go back..."
He didn't stop as he passed her hibernation pod.
Gu Jiao was stunned.
He carried her out of the medical pod, all the way up to the second floor of the villa, to her room, where he forcefully and domineeringly imprisoned her on the soft bed.
The sweet fragrance unique to her lingered around his nose, and he could feel his blood rushing to his head, even his usually calm and indifferent heart began to beat faster.
Gu Jiao wasn't much better off than him. She stared blankly at his cold, handsome face, which was now tinged with desire. A bead of sweat slid down his forehead, and his delicate Adam's apple bobbed.
Gu Jiao felt herself getting drunk again.
The moonlight was exceptionally beautiful that night.
But she felt he was better than the moonlight.
In her dazed state, she heard him say, "After you graduate, I'll take you away from the organization."
She remembered saying, "Okay, let's go together."
Unfortunately, that day never came.
...
In the pitch-black, enclosed room, Gu Jiao lay on the cold operating table. She had been injected with drugs and neurotoxins. The neurotoxins were meant to suppress her loss of control, while the drugs were gradually erasing her memories.
A red light appeared on the instrument next to it.
A man in surgical scrubs glanced at the data on the monitor and said, "That's the maximum dose. If we inject any more, she'll become an idiot."
Beside him, another doctor, also wearing surgical scrubs, paused for a moment: "The last one."
"No way, the risk is too great. She's still useful to the organization, and the higher-ups haven't said they want to get rid of her."
"Then half a bottle."
After taking the last half dose of the medicine, Gu Jiao completely fainted.
...
It's September again, and Gu Jiao, Xiao Heng, Long Yi, and Chang Jing travel across the ice plains to Dark Night Island.
The ice field seemed to have turned cold earlier than usual this year, and they even encountered a blizzard along the way, causing the young couple to get separated from Long Yi and Chang Jing.
Strangely enough, despite the heavy snow and wind, Xiao Heng managed to steer the ice wolf in the right direction.
At these times, he exudes a cold aura that is distinct from that of the imperial court.
The two arrived at Dark Night Island first, and two days later, Chang Jing and Long Yi also arrived.
Gu Jiao was surprised: "Chang Jing and Long Yi are both from Dark Night Island. They grew up with the Icefield Wolves. You are even faster than them."
Xiao Heng was extremely proud of his wife's praise, but his pride soon faded.
Because Gu Jiao went to see that man again!
He knew it all—the excuses about accompanying Long Yi back and Chang Jing to visit relatives were just that—excuses!
She came to pay respects at that man's grave!
Yes, that man died a tragic death. In order to cultivate the purple grass, he did not hesitate to be buried on Dark Night Island, using his own flesh and blood as nourishment.
But she always had him on her mind, and he was very jealous!
He sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, his hands tucked into hand warmers, his face dark, and his legs shaking incessantly.
Chang Jing walked over with a plate of washed fruit and asked him, "Would you like some?"
"I won't eat it," he refused expressionlessly.
He wasn't in the mood to eat.
From his vantage point, he could clearly see the direction of the cemetery. Braving the biting cold wind, Gu Jiao cleared the snow off the grave mound, handful by handful.
She worked very seriously, completely ignoring the fact that her hands were red from the cold.
Xiao Heng gritted his teeth.
After shaking his left leg, he shook his right leg, his little eyes giving off a cool and icy look!
Chang Jing ate the fruit with great relish.
Xiao Heng glanced at him.
Why don't you lend a hand?
All you ever do is eat!
Didn't you see how frozen her hands were?
If you do it for her, then she won't have to mourn that man herself!
I really don't understand how to share the burden of your future brother-in-law.
I don't want you to be my brother-in-law anymore.
You're out!
Chang Jing ate some himself, but he didn't forget to leave half for Feng Wuxiu, because he had promised Feng Wuxiu that he would bring him some fruits and fish from Dark Night Island on his way back to Zhao Kingdom.
"Long Yi!" Xiao Heng said angrily, looking at Gu Jiao's hands, which were red from the cold.
She's such a grown-up and doesn't even know how to take care of herself. What would happen if Long Yi did this kind of thing?
Long Yi was in the secret room and couldn't hear Xiao Heng's voice.
Xiao Heng swore he wasn't curious; he simply went to call Long Yi out to do some work!
He stood up calmly, elegantly brushed the snowflakes off his robes, and aloofly entered a secret room behind the study.
The passage in the secret room has been opened by the small medicine box.
This was Xiao Heng's first time entering.
The corridor was pitch black, with a half-open door at the end, through which a patch of bright white light slanted, adding to the mystery.
A strange feeling welled up in Xiao Heng's heart.
He was certain it was his first time here, but for some reason, he didn't feel too unfamiliar with the place.
He pushed open the slightly ajar door.
Long Yi was sitting cross-legged on the colorful floor, holding a photo album in his hands. The album contained only three people: his godfather, her from his past life, and Long Mengmeng as a baby.
He was very weak as a child, unable to leave the treatment chamber, and unable to grow.
It was his father who donated a lot of his own blood, which helped him wake up in the treatment room.
Xiao Heng came up behind Long Yi. He had no intention of peeping into other people's privacy. He didn't look at what Long Yi was holding, but asked, "What are you daydreaming about? I called you and you didn't hear me."
"I miss him," Long Yi said honestly.
Who he is is self-evident.
Xiao Heng narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Very good, Ryuichi has started too.
Xiao Heng suppressed the surging jealousy in his heart, looked around, and found that all the doors were open, except for a wooden door on the right.
He asked instinctively, "Huh? Why is that door closed?"
Long Yi casually remarked, "Oh, that's Father's hibernation chamber; only he can go in."
He only realized Xiao Heng had arrived after he finished speaking. This room is equipped with a security system, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, otherwise they will be attacked with weapons!
Long Yi suddenly realized what was happening and quickly put down the photo album, standing up to block Xiao Heng behind him.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The green light from the detector had already fallen on Xiao Heng. The light at the source flickered twice, and a cold, mechanical voice slowly sounded: "Unknown intruder detected. Eliminate?"
"System paused."
"System error".
"System restart".
The last time Gu Jiao came here, she encountered the same situation, and in the end, the system crashed with a mechanical "system overload" message.
Long Yi assumed that this was another case of the same malfunction.
To everyone's surprise, instead of the "system overload" AI notification, what followed was—
"System authentication in progress."
"System restart".
"Re-authenticate".
"Verification complete."
"Marshal, it's been a long time."
