The next day.
Zu Qi woke up with pain all over his body, and his head hurt as if it was about to split.
After another long while, Zu Qi opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a face lying very close to him.
Xue Jue lay on his side facing Zu Qi, his eyes were closed slightly, and he frowned slightly even in his sleep. He seemed to have dreamed of something unhappy, so even the corners of his mouth had tightened into a straight line.
Xue Jue, who looked like this, still seemed so serious.
Zu Qi stared at Xue Jue for a long time, then the memory of last night slowly came to his mind, and his face turned into a red tomato at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Damn it!
Was he the one who took the initiative to throw himself into Xue Jue’s arms last night?!
At that time, he really had no consciousness at all, and his words and deeds were all based on instinct. He pestered Xue Jue purely because he was warm.
As for what happened next, it was no longer within the scope of Zu Qi’s drunken IQ.
Zu Qi was very embarrassed, especially when he felt his naked body being held in the arms of Xue Jue, who was also naked. The strange emotions were like rushing water, rushing straight into Zu Qi’s head.
After being motionless and stiff for a long time, Zu Qi slowly moved his hands and feet to withdraw from Xue Jue’s arms. Unexpectedly, he just moved a little and felt an unspeakable pain coming from somewhere under his body.
Fortunately, he didn’t feel sticky or uncomfortable, maybe because Xue Jue helped him clean it afterward.
Zu Qi took a deep breath and waited until the pain dissipated before continuing to move his body back at a turtle speed.
After finally putting some distance between him and Xue Jue, Zu Qi bit his lip. Just when he was about to turn over and get out of bed, he suddenly felt a hand reaching out to wrap his arms around his waist.
Then the hand exerted a little force, and Zu Qi was caught off guard and was brought into Xue Jue’s arms again.
Zu Qi: “…”
Xue Jue was unaware and seemed to be sleeping soundly. He subconsciously buried his face in Zu Qi’s neck and rubbed it twice, like a big golden retriever acting coquettishly.
The slightly stiff hair was stuck to Zu Qi’s cheek, but it didn’t hurt. Instead, it made him feel a tingling sensation.
Zu Qi, who was held like a pillow, didn’t even dare to move. The feeling of skin contact was like venom, paralyzing his nerves. He had lived for more than twenty years, and this was his first time having such close contact with people while awake.
What was even more embarrassing was that… under Xue Jue’s unconscious friction just now, he seemed to have reacted a little…
Damn.
Zu Qi cursed secretly. At this moment, he felt that his cheeks were as hot as fire, and the temperature around him had risen a lot without knowing when. The heat made his throat dry.
Zu Qi felt that he should separate from Xue Jue quickly, at least before Xue Jue woke up.
However, just as he finished thinking this, the head buried in Zu Qi’s neck suddenly lifted up, and then the two looked at each other.
Silence spread in the air – the expression on Zu Qi’s face froze for two seconds. In just two seconds, his thoughts had already turned a thousand times, and then he reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth and said with an awkward smile: “Good morning.”
“…”
The sleepiness in Xue Jue’s eyes gradually dissipated, and soon the dark eyes became clear.
After a long pause, Xue Jue’s expressionless face suddenly showed a look that was half a smile, and he whispered in a slightly hoarse voice: “How can you still be so energetic this early in the morning?”
Zu Qi almost instantly understood the implication of Xue Jue’s words, and his entire face turned red as if he was about to bleed.
“What, what spirit, I don’t understand what you are talking about.” Zu Qi pushed Xue Jue who was leaning on him guiltily, lifted up the quilt and jumped out of bed.
Although the pain in the back area was still obvious, it was within the range that Zu Qi could bear.
It was only after he got out of bed that Zu Qi suddenly remembered that he had no clothes on at all. Unfortunately, when he picked up the clothes thrown at the end of the bed to block them, it was already too late.
Looking back, he saw Xue Jue changing his posture and sitting on the bedside. Then he glanced under him with a meaningful look, raised the corner of his mouth and said, “You are really energetic.”
Zu Qi: “…” You shut up. How’s your mouth?
Under Xue Jue’s teasing gaze, Zu Qi ran away and rushed into the bathroom.
While taking a shower, Zu Qi discovered that there were red marks from bites on his chest and arms. They were not very obvious, but just looking at them made Zu Qi involuntarily think back to what happened last night.
“…”
To be honest, Xue Jue’s skills were really not very good.
Of course, his thoughts must not be known to Xue Jue, otherwise it would be the end of the world.
After taking a slow bath for an hour, Zu Qi dried his hair and walked out of the bathroom. Outside, Xue Jue was already dressed and sitting on the sofa waiting.
Xue Jue was looking at his cell phone. When he heard Zu Qi’s footsteps coming out, he raised his head slightly and said, “Are you busy today?”
He put on his pants and asked at the end, “Why are you asking this?”
Xue Jue continued to look down at the phone, and at the same time said calmly: “If you have nothing to do, come with me to the auditorium to have a look. Butler Zhang has selected three places. When the time comes, choose the location that suits you best.”
Zu Qi immediately realized that Xue Jue was talking about choosing a venue for their wedding and couldn’t help but be stunned.
He had asked Weng Yuxiang to cancel the wedding several times before, but Weng Yuxiang, who was originally easy to talk to, became tough in this regard and insisted on holding a wedding no matter what, to give Zu Qi a status.
Zu Qi didn’t care much about this. At that time, he felt that it was still early for the wedding, so he didn’t think too much about it for the time being.
As a result, when he came back to his senses, the scheduled time was approaching.
It turned out that without knowing it, it had been almost four months since he came to this world.
For a moment, Zu Qi felt deeply in his heart and did not answer Xue Jue’s words in time. By the time he broke free from his thoughts, Xue Jue had silently walked to him.
Xue Jue was nearly a head taller than Zu Qi. When he lowered his eyes and looked at him, he could not hide the oppressive aura emanating from his body. His expression was as calm as water, and he asked without any fluctuations: “Do you regret it?”
” …” Zu Qi, who was shrouded in shadow, swallowed carefully. In fact, he really wanted to answer that he regretted it, and he regretted it all the time.
It would be best for both of them to call off the wedding immediately, go their separate ways, and have nothing to do with each other ever since.
But Zu Qi was very timid, and these words that sounded so sinister could never come out of his mouth.
After thinking about it, Zu Qi adopted a roundabout policy and asked very tactfully: “Do you think I regret it?”
“I think you regret it so much that your intestines are green.” Xue Jue raised the corner of his mouth and smiled coolly.
Zu Qi looked happy and was about to take over the conversation when he heard Xue Jue continue, “It’s a pity that it’s useless for you to regret it. The wedding date has been set and the guests have been invited. You have no room to retreat.”
Hearing this, the joy on Zu Qi’s face froze instantly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Xue Jue raised his eyebrows, a hint of understanding flashed across his eyes, but there was a teasing arc at the corner of his mouth.
Then why the hell are you asking? Zu Qi thought secretly in his heart but did not dare to show it on his face. Instead, he bent his eyes and said with a smile: “How can I regret it? I finally hugged a golden thigh to stabilize my position in the Xue family. It’s not even too late for me to be happy.”
The corners of Xue Jue’s mouth twitched obviously, and he stared at Zu Qi with strange eyes without saying anything.
Seeing Xue Jue deflate, the smile in Zu Qi’s eyes became even bigger, and he stepped forward and took the other person’s arm affectionately: “To celebrate my ascension, I invite you to dance tonight!”
“…” Xue Jue was silent. After a long time, he took his arm out of Zu Qi’s arms without saying a word, turned around and left.
Zu Qi was left laughing on the spot.
The most direct consequence of this was that the stingy Xue Jue became angry again. On the way to the auditorium, he had a gloomy face and refused to say a word to Zu Qi.
Zu Qi was used to Xue Jue’s awkward and arrogant young master’s temper. He quietly leaned against the window and played games on his mobile phone without even glancing at Xue Jue from the corner of his eye.
So, after getting off the car, Master Xue seemed to be even angrier.
Butler Zhang had been waiting outside the auditorium door, and he was accompanied by staff from the wedding company.
News about Zu Qi and Xue Jue had been circulating on the Internet for a long time, and there were no less than ten versions. Nine of them were that Zu Qi stalked and knocked down Xue Jue, and the remaining one was that Zu Qi took advantage of Xue Jue after he became unconscious because of drugs…
Zu Qi was deeply impressed after reading the imaginative Weibo posts from netizens.
He had to admit that these netizens seemed to be fools but were actually quite smart. At least on this point, they guessed it right.
Although it was said on the Internet that Xue Jue did not like Zu Qi but the two of them had reached the point of getting married. Naturally, the staff of the wedding company did not dare to neglect Zu Qi too much, so they enthusiastically served him during the whole process and even came up with several wedding plans for Zu Qi’s reference.
Zu Qi took a rough look at all the plans and was immediately shocked by the budget amount stated on the last page.
After being stunned for a long time, Zu Qi silently handed the booklet to Xue Jue, who was sitting next to him and listening to the staff talking.
Xue Jue supported his chin with one hand and caught a glimpse of the booklet handed to him out of the corner of his eye. He tilted his head slightly, raised his eyebrows and cast a doubtful look at Zu Qi.
“You choose.” Zu Qi was still immersed in the shock of the long series of numbers, “I can’t choose.”
Xue Jue took the book and briefly looked through it, then handed it to the staff: “The second option.”
Zu Qi exclaimed, a bit obstructive: “You didn’t even read the previous content, isn’t your decision a bit hasty.”
Xue Jue said disapprovingly: “When the choice is difficult, just choose the most expensive option, it should be the best, so you can’t go wrong.”
Zu Qi: “…” The rich man’s way of making choices made him jealous.
It was already evening when they came out of the auditorium. Together with Butler Zhang, they returned to Xue’s house at dusk. The servants had already prepared dinner.
Zu Qi and Xue Jue didn’t come back all night, and Weng Yuxiang didn’t ask anything. However, Xue Wanwan, who was held in Weng Yuxiang’s arms, opened his mouth and burst into tears before Zu Qi came close.
Weng Yuxiang hurriedly carried Xue Wanwan to Zu Qi. The little guy seemed to smell Zu Qi’s scent and stopped crying after a while. His black eyes still stained with tears looked at Zu Qi confusedly.
Zu Qi’s heart almost melted when he saw his son’s little eyes. He couldn’t help but lower his head and rub Xue Wanwan’s tender face.
“Hey-” Xue Wanwan immediately became excited and waved his little paws to scratch Zu Qi’s nose.
Fortunately, Zu Qi reacted quickly and avoided Xue Wanwan’s clutches in time.
Looking at the white and tender little hands in front of him, Zu Qi didn’t know what he was thinking. He opened his mouth to bite it, holding the soft and warm little hands in his mouth, as if biting a pig’s trotters.
Zu Qi bit it twice and quickly realized something. He raised his eyes and saw Xue Jue standing opposite, looking at him expressionlessly.
Then Xue Jue asked: “Is it delicious?”
Zu Qi: “…”
