Lin Qinglu didn’t know why she suddenly pretended to be asleep.
When she realized what she was doing, she carefully kept her breathing slow and even.
Come to think of it, it seemed that she and Song Pianzhen were both in the backseat, with only an arm’s breadth between them.
Nobody spoke and a tranquil silence descended upon them.
So, when she looked over towards Song Pianzhen, whose swan-like neck was slightly slumped, Lin Qinglu’s eyes coincidentally flitted shut.
Anxious, she did her best to breathe evenly. However, her heartbeat seemed very loud and erratic.
Fortunately, Song Pianzhen couldn’t hear it.
But due to her racing heart, Lin Qinglu wasn’t able to hear anything else either.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Qinglu didn’t sense any movement in the car.
Today, she was feeling quite curious, so she sleepily turned around and cracked one eye open to sneakily look at Song Pianzhen.
Song Pianzhen had her headphones on and was gazing out the window. A ray of sunlight shone on her hair, illuminating it with a warm light.
Suddenly, Song Pianzhen turned around and looked at her.
Lin Qinglu subconsciously closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.
Then, she felt the blanket shift.
Turns out, Song Pianzhen had turned to adjust her blanket properly.
The ride was smooth, and the temperature from the air-conditioning was comfortable. Lin Qinglu had a warm blanket draped over her, and when she woke up, she found that she had unknowingly fallen asleep at some point in time.
Groggily, she opened her eyes and saw the laughing Song Pianzhen hadn’t left.
“Ms. Lin, we’re here.”
Maintaining her calm composure, Lin Qinglu replied in a cool manner, “Okay.”
She sat up, stretched her hand to flip her hair, and looked out the window.
Outside the window stood a glamorous, high-rise building with a red carpet rolled out at the entrance, and silhouettes of people entering and exiting.
It didn’t seem to be an established brand.
“Lele had mentioned that this place would be quite crowded. Ms. Lin, you’ve got a lot of fans, so shall we ask the driver to bring the food here?” Jian Yixin asked softly.
‘Lele? Such an intimate form of address?‘
Lin Qinglu pursued her lips and decided on a different approach, “Is it really okay to trouble that gentleman’s driver like that?”
She glanced at Xiao Dong and thought, How come Song Pianzhen said that so naturally?
Watching Mu Qing-Xue leave, You-You scratched her hair, feeling a little puzzled.
She really couldn’t understand Mu Qing-Xue’s mood swings.
She’s normal for a moment, and suddenly odd the next.
Yawning lazily with a hand over her mouth, You-You sucked in a breath. Her eyes, which were originally hazy, suddenly became clear because of the moisture in them.
As she slowly approached her desk, she saw that Mu Qing-Xue had bought her porridge and two dumplings.
“Hey, I want to eat meat.”
You-You, who naturally liked meat, wasn’t satisfied with this food and was still famished. After washing up quickly, she gobbled up all the steamed dumplings and drank almost all of the red date porridge.
“Um, Xixi, what shall I do now?”
After eating and drinking, You-You reclined on her pink bed. Rubbing her full tummy, she questioned Xixi.
“Mu Qing-Xue isn’t here, and there are no classes over the weekend, so what should I do?”
Since she was in a foreign world, she was heavily dependent on Xixi.
As Bai Qu wasn’t by her side, the only one she was familiar with was the mysterious, white lotus system that transported her to this place.
【Host, you’re allowed to do anything that you want.】
【This system isn’t going to restrict the host, but host has to know her limitations.】
【This system hopes that the host will always keep the task in mind.】
“Mm. Don’t worry Xixi! I definitely won’t forget the mission!”
After squinting comfortably, You You stared at the pink ceiling above her, and suddenly smiled in surprise, “then, can I go out to play now?”
【Alright.】
“Great!”
She immediately sat up on the bed, and excitedly exclaimed, “I’ll go to the amusement park to ride the Ferris wheel, visit the haunted house, and then go to Animation City to catch little rabbit dolls.
【……】
Isn’ther host too childish?
But thinking of Mu Qing-Xue’s favorability towards You-You, Xixi relaxed.
After all, all of the other past hosts had never raised the task target’s favorability to such a high level, so perhaps she made the right choice this time?
‘Follow your words’, You-You thought as she hopped to her closet to pick out some clothes.
Originally, You-You had wanted to wear a fancy red and pink dress, but Xixi warned her that it wouldn’t be suitable for the activities she was going to do, since it could ride or fly up. So instead, You-You chose a pair of black ripped jeans and a top with short pink sleeves.
The style and brand were very simple.
Carrying a small, exquisite purse that only contained her mobile phone, keys, ID card, and a bank card, You-You locked her dorm door and left in high spirits.
When You-You first got to another time and space, she was very curious about this world.
Obviously, this world was like the real one, but the fact alone that she could crossover was enough to amaze her.
So, when Wei Yang drove out the school gate, he saw a delicate red and pink figure, lightly caressing the bushes.
Her posture made her look like she was trying to find treasure in the bushes.
Pff!
Nearly choking on his saliva, Wei Yang’s lips twitched. In one swift move, he drove his car behind You-You, honked the horn, and rolled down his window.
“Bai You-You, are you looking for treasure?”
” Ah?”
When she turned around and saw Wei Yang, she suddenly rolled her eyes. “Wei Yang, why did you scare me?”
She wasn’t a Buddha, she held grudges. Yesterday, Wei Yang had spooked her, and she remembered it clearly. She didn’t hesitate before branding him as a villain internally.
“My goodness! Are you blaming me for your own guilty conscience?”
Few can beat Wei Yang in a battle of words. But, You-You’s unreasonable childish logic is one of the exceptions.
Seeing the young lady’s beads of sweat and her flushed face, Wei Yang squinted and suddenly spoke.
“Why don’t you hop into the car? We’ll drive you to your destination.”
Seeing You-You’s hesitation, Wei Yang smiled evilly and pointed to the sun, “If you really want to be charred to a crisp, I won’t force you.”
‘Never!’
She promptly opened the car door and went inside. When she entered the car and saw Ji Lin dressed in a white shirt and black pants with an indifferent expression, she understood why Wei Yang had said ‘we’.
“I’m going to the amusement park and Animation City.”
When she entered the car, the air conditioning quickly soothed the dullness in her heart. You-You squinted in enjoyment and even her tone became light and soft.
“And the Food Court.”
Without Bai Qu around to manage her, You-You was like a wild horse without reins. Joyfully playing and having fun all throughout the time.
Qu Feiqing did not wear a fancy court dress and instead wore regular clothes. Her hair was loosely tied behind her head, looking very unruly.
Qu Feiqing’s body stiffened and instinctively pushed against Su Xin, but Su Xin hugged her tighter.
Su Xin’s heart lamented that Qu Feiqing was too kind and too predictable.
Qu Feiqing couldn’t see Su Xin’s face and frowned irritably. She hated others being so close to her. Even if it was a warm hug, she didn’t need it.
Qu Feiqing used her internal force and abruptly pulled Su Xin away from her embrace.
Su Xin took advantage of the situation, and as she slammed to the ground, she pulled Qu Feiqing as well. Qu Feiqing was led to rush forward and pressed against Su Xin.
As their lips collided, Su Xin couldn’t help licking, hissing, and bleeding.
Su Xin hadn’t expected such a situation.
[I never anticipated this either.]
Qu Feiqing’s lips were still on hers. At that moment, Qu Feiqing only felt something soft had licked her lips carefully.
With the alcohol flowing through her body, Qu Feiqing held up her arms and gently lifted her body, which was very close to Su Xin’s.
“You like women?”
Qu Feiqing squinted her eyes, and the intoxicating aroma of wine exuded from her body.
I can’t answer that. Is this a misunderstanding? I really didn’t plan to lick you just now. Fourteen what should I do?!
[The host can be rest assured that we are a very humane system, so you can do it if you want.]
It did not matter to Fourteen anyways, since it had mosaics. In fourteen’s opinion, proper physical intimacy and psychological pleasures were conducive to the host’s mission.
You’re deluded! Who said I’m gonna do it!
The wine coloured Qu Feiqing’s face with beauty; replacing her grumpiness with enticing laziness.
She stuck out half her tongue and licked Su Xin’s lips for a moment.
“Your Majesty likes it?”
Su Xin allowed Qu Feiqing to move, opening and closing her lips while speaking. Qu Feiqing had no idea that she would speak suddenly, causing the small tip of her tongue to go into Su Xin’s mouth.
Both of them were stiff. It was the first time that Qu Feiqing was so intimate with her. Qu Feiqing just licked her because she didn’t hate the feeling. It was also to tease Su Xin. She didn’t plan to go any further, just now….
Fourteen, I suddenly want to do it now…
[You are free to do as you wish, host. I have Mosaics1.]
Mosaic Protection to promote Socialist Harmony.
Su Xin squinted her eyes to see Qu Feiqing’s tongue and touched it with her own
Qu Feiqing must have been drunk, smelling Su Xin’s warm fragrance.
In fact, this person was indeed beautiful, at least just now, when she licked the tip of her tongue and looked at her provocatively, it made her feel like her blood was boiling, unlike the impulse of usually being bloodthirsty.
Qu Feiqing was drunk but Su Xin wasn’t and she wanted to do it.
The clothes were worn out, Qu Feiqing raised the flask, and the wine dripped down from Su Xin’s neck, splattering their clothes.
The wine was cold and due to the cold wind from outside the palace, they couldn’t help but shiver.
Qu Feiqing gently touched the skin on Su Xin’s neck and drank all the wine there before she was willing to switch places.
Su Xin took off the hairpin on her head and threw it aside. Her long hair spread on her back like fine silk.
When the wind started to blow, the red beads on the branches shook with the wind’s movements, and the moonlight shone brightly above, the people below were stained with decadent colors.
The feelings were mutual. Su Xin also helped Qu Feiqing to massage her diligently. Qu Feiqing hummed and raised her red lips.
The wind grew stronger, and even the entire branch shook with it, shaking helplessly.
Su Xin is an adult, and what she had to do for Tayan had been postponed until now.
The lake in the palace, blown by the wind, made waves and the fish kept swimming in the water, sinking into that kind of warmth.
Everything suddenly became still. Su Xin got up, put on her clothes and tied up her hair again.
Sweat and spilled alcohol on her body had started making her uncomfortable.
Qu Feiqing opened her eyes and looked to be awake.
“How did you find me?”
Qu Feiqing looked into Su Xin’s eyes.
“Just strolling around,”
Su Xin answered.
“In the middle of the night, it was fun.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Qu Feiqing looked up and down Su Xin, not knowing what she was thinking, her expression was calm.
Each of the cold palaces in the Imperial palace had their own stories. They have had many rulers, generation after generation of masters.
Half of Qu Feiqing’s youth was spent here.
Her mother, who was a concubine, gave birth to a daughter, to the displeasure of the Emperor. At that time the other concubines took the opportunity to deal with her mother, so Qu Feiqing’s mother took her and moved into one of these cold palaces.
Qu Feiqing’s current methods and achievements were largely due to her mother’s contributions.
Her mother died of illness in this palace, and Qu Feiqing had watched her only relative leave her.
After she became the Empress, she occasionally came here, sitting alone on the ground and drinking, thinking of her mother.
At first, Qu Feiqing suspected that Su Xin had deliberately followed her here, but she later thought that the time when she came to this cold palace was not planned, and she came as she wanted, and even she didn’t know when she would come.
However, she still didn’t believe Su Xin’s reason for strolling around, it was too clumsy.
“It hurts.”
Su Xin frowned and murmured, feeling very uncomfortable.
Her body was weak, not as good as the one that had been trained before. She had been wounded just some time ago, and she just exercised vigorously. She also caught a cold in the wind. How could it not be uncomfortable?
Qu Feiqing felt her hands becoming cold and even the temperature just dropped.
Su Xin started to feel a headache.
Qu Feiqing stood up and stretched out her hand to Su Xin who was still sitting on the ground. Su Xin grabbed Qu Feiqing’s hand and struggled to stand up.
“Thank you very much.”
Su Xin patted the dust on her body, lowering her head, so she didn’t see Qu Feiqing’s hesitant expression tinted with light desire, wanting to tell her to stop.
They did it, and Qu Feiqing was trying to figure out whether she was responsible or not.
Su Xin didn’t have such thoughts and was ready to leave.
“Tonight….”
Qu Feiqing helped Su Xin sort out her messy clothes and thought about how to phrase the question.
“Nothing serious, your majesty rest assured, I will not talk nonsense.”
“Are you…Happy?”
Qu Feiqing looked deeply into Su Xin’s eyes.
If not, why do you have to follow her? If not, why do you want to approach her? If not, why did you accept her just now?
“What?”
Su Xin was bewildered, showing a confused expression.
“Your Majesty has been worrying too much. Your Majesty is like a bright sky and bright moon. It is hopeless and unobtainable. Xue Yao is only worthy of knowing, and there were just no emotions, even if it was not your Majesty.”
The rest of Su Xin’s words were muted in Qu Feiqing’s terrifying eyes.
Fourteen, why do I feel that the situation is a bit wrong?
[This…maybe…Host, you are really a strange person.]
How can someone say to someone who just finished it that ‘I don’t like you, even if it wasn’t you, I would do something like this’…
This was no longer lack of consciousness, this was either a low emotional intelligence or slag.
I always feel like you have something to say.
[Is that so? You feel wrong.]
Fourteen said calmly.
“Your Majesty, I’m leaving first, and see you another day.”
Su Xin subconsciously felt that the situation might not be so good, and hurriedly left so she wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.
Qu Feiqing looked at her back and smiled.
Su Xin’s unavoidable evasive appearance, on the contrary, seemed to be like a stalker.
Each person’s character has a great relationship with the environment in which they grew up.
Su Xin was almost straight, speaking directly and not very fond of twists and turns, and her profession does not require her to go around.
The boss of the organization also values her very much because of her personality, because she never thinks too much about what to do.
Su Xin’s emotional experience could be said to be a blank, after all, her life was only training before she was able to go on missions.
After being able to go on missions, Su Xin’s profession was destined to make her be a loner and not very close to others, except for Qiu Qing Qing, who was in the same occupation as her.
Since she had no emotional experience, this made her have low emotional intelligence.
Su Xin felt like what happened tonight was no big deal, and that this matter depended on mutual consent. Why make it complicated? I mean, hello… I’m fine.
Of course, Su Xin felt that not everyone can change other people, only those who have feelings would be able to do it.
Su Xin went back to her room with a little dizziness, her body was already freezing, and her stomach was aching.
[Host, you are sick.]
I know.
Su Xin ignored taking a shower, took off her outer garments, got in the bed in sleazy inner garments, covered the quilt and faintly fell asleep.
Usually if there was nothing to do, Su Xin would always wake up naturally when she sleeps.
However, when Shu Quan came in, Su Xin was still asleep under the quilt.
“Miss, can’t you get up?”
“Sleepy.”
Su Xin felt that her body was as heavy as lead, and she was struggling to even open her eyes. She answered dully before putting the quilt back on.
“Miss will sleep for a little longer.”
Shu Quan thought that Su Xin was asleep, so she put down the wash basin and closed the door.
[Host, you have a fever.]
Su Xin did not respond to it and continued to sleep for the rest of the day.
Qu Feiqing came to see Su Xin after the morning. Originally, she did not want to come after Su Xin’s indifferent attitude last night. However, something about Su Xin’s reaction was not right, and Qu Feiqing couldn’t let it go, so to simply soothe her mind, she went to find Su Xin.
“See your majesty. Miss is still asleep.”
Shu Quan bowed to Qu Feiqing lightly.
Still Sleeping?
Qu Feiqing pushed the door lightly and walked to Su Xin’s side.
Su Xin had covered her entire body with the quilt, only her hair was exposed.
Qu Feiqing lifted the quilt a little, revealing Su Xin’s flushed face.
Qu Fei frowned and reached to check for the temperature of Susin’s forehead, it was extremely hot.
“Hurry up and go fetch a physician.”
Shu Quan was taken aback, and quickly ran out.
Su Xin closed her eyes and felt that someone was touching her forehead. It was cool and comfortable.
“Qiu Qing, I’m so uncomfortable.”
Su Xin acted unconsciously, shouting the name of the person she trusted the most.
Qu Feiqing was taken aback, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
TL Note: Fourteen is saying how because of the mosaics/censors it promotes harmony between the system and the host so that there isn’t awkwardness.
