Meeting Zhu Xu's bright eyes, though Zhaoxue's destructive desire had receded, the jealousy and unease were deeply buried in his heart, leaving Zhaoxue utterly flustered.
"I'll wait for you upstairs."
As Zhaoxue spoke, Zhu Xu's hand, which had been holding Zhaoxue's sleeve, did not let go.
"Okay," Zhu Xu replied, casting a hesitant glance at Zhaoxue's eyes before slowly releasing his sleeve.
On the way to Xiu Yong, Zhu Xu kept thinking about Zhaoxue's eyes from earlier. She felt Zhaoxue was very sad, even more so than if tears had welled up.
She had never seen that kind of look in all the times she had secretly watched Zhaoxue.
Was it her imagination?
After a few drinks, the surrounding noise and Xiu Yong's chatter about old amusing stories distracted Zhu Xu.
Unconsciously, Zhu Xu became a little tipsy.
"Xiu Yong, your tolerance for alcohol is truly better than mine now," Zhu Xu murmured, leaning on the table. After a moment, there was no reply from Xiu Yong.
Puzzled, Zhu Xu looked up and found Xiu Yong also slumped over the table, completely unconscious.
Seeing Xiu Yong like this, Zhu Xu gently nudged him. Xiu Yong tilted backward, his face revealed but not waking.
"So rabbits blush too," Zhu Xu said, her mind sluggish as she looked at Xiu Yong's flushed cheeks.
If Xiu Yong's original form were stripped of the blue markings on his forehead, he would be pure white. His skin was even fairer than snow when he transformed into human form.
Therefore, Zhu Xu was instinctively drawn to the striking redness on Xiu Yong's face.
After staring at the blush on Xiu Yong's face for a moment, Zhu Xu suddenly raised her hand.
Was this red thing an apple?
Were there apples this red?
Zhu Xu was quite deep in her cups. In a blink, she forgot it was Xiu Yong's face and raised her hand to pinch it and test the truth.
Soon, Zhu Xu's hand drew closer and closer to Xiu Yong. Just as Zhu Xu was about to touch the striking red, her hand was suddenly pulled back.
So close...
Zhu Xu thought, and unwillingly, she reached her hand towards Xiu Yong again. To her surprise, it was pulled back forcefully.
"Xuxu, it's time to sleep."
Zhaoxue instantly pulled Zhu Xu up, his other hand gripping her waist, pulling her entire body into his embrace.
Zhu Xu only felt the familiar scent in her nostrils, which made her relax unconsciously. She softly nestled against Zhaoxue, not getting up.
Zhaoxue picked Zhu Xu up. Zhu Xu leaned against Zhaoxue's shoulder. Her crescent eyes opened a slit, and she saw Xiu Yong, drunk and slumped over the table.
"He... he he," Zhu Xu said, pointing at Xiu Yong.
Zhaoxue stopped. His phoenix eyes grew colder. Then, with a swift movement, he brought Zhu Xu upstairs to a room in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, even though Zhu Xu couldn't explain fully, the waiter understood her meaning.
The two young waiters exchanged helpless glances. Then, each grabbed one of Xiu Yong's arms and carried him back to his room.
"Xuxu, why did you want to touch him just now? Is his face more beautiful than mine?"
At this moment, Zhaoxue pushed Zhu Xu onto the bed, one hand pinching the back of her neck, the other guiding Zhu Xu's hand to his own cheek.
"It hurts," Zhu Xu frowned, reaching to free the back of her neck.
Zhaoxue released the back of her neck with restraint.
Zhaoxue let go of Zhu Xu's neck and instead pressed on her chin, forcing Zhu Xu to look at him. "Xuxu, is he more handsome than me?"
"Hmm?"
Zhu Xu was indeed quite drunk tonight. At this moment, she only felt the pain in her chin and had no idea what Zhaoxue was asking.
"Xiu Yong, Xiu Yong is still downstairs." A moment later, Zhu Xu's mind automatically recalled the scene of Xiu Yong slumped over the table.
"It's that male immortal again. Zhu Xu, you are not allowed to think of him anymore!" The last string of Zhaoxue's patience snapped painfully.
"Mmm~" Zhu Xu's vision went black, and she only felt her lips being voraciously consumed.
Zhu Xu instinctively struggled, not realizing it only further stimulated Zhaoxue. Zhaoxue pressed down on Zhu Xu's back with both hands, pulling her even closer.
Gradually, Zhu Xu finally felt Zhaoxue's familiar aura and stopped struggling. Her hands also wrapped around Zhaoxue.
"Zhaoxue, it hurts..."
As Zhaoxue's invasion deepened, and his lips moved to her collarbone, Zhu Xu finally seized the opportunity to express her displeasure.
Zhaoxue paused for a moment, thinking it was his illusion, and plunged back into the uncontrollable state.
"Zhaoxue..."
"Zhaoxue..."
...
Her body was still covered in a multitude of aches. Zhu Xu was so drunk and weak that she could only call Zhaoxue's name over and over again. Sudan Novel Network.
Zhu Xu's soft calls finally pulled Zhaoxue's frenzied, jealous heart back.
Zhaoxue's kisses gradually became gentler. Then, with an extremely cold expression, he stared at Zhu Xu, whose face was flushed.
"Xuxu, is my face more beautiful, or is that male immortal's face more beautiful?"
"Zhaoxue..."
Hearing his name, Zhaoxue lay beside Zhu Xu and instantly pulled her into his embrace.
At this moment, Zhaoxue was more willing to believe that Zhu Xu was answering his question, not just saying his name out of habit.
Nestled in Zhaoxue's arms, Zhu Xu contentedly hugged his waist and soon fell asleep.
Only Zhaoxue remained, looking at the dense, deep red kiss marks on Zhu Xu's exposed skin, which felt like nails piercing his heart.
If Xuxu had been conscious at the time...
Zhaoxue lowered his gaze, his fingernails emanating a gentle spiritual energy. He then raised his hand and lightly brushed over Zhu Xu's body.
Instantly, the deep red kiss marks disappeared, and Zhu Xu's skin was as good as new.
...
"Brother, you didn't sleep well last night, did you?"
Zhaoxue had not slept all night. As dawn broke, he got up and went downstairs to order breakfast from the waiter.
Unfortunately, the stout waiter had gone to prepare medicine for himself.
As a result, Zhaoxue began to talk to the waiter who had advised him to go into business.
Originally, the waiter had given up on that idea. But looking at Zhaoxue's exquisite beauty, the waiter felt as if he had seen a fortune.
Humans, after all, were not immune to greed.
"Brother, I'm not trying to be nosy, but did that woman lie to you, saying that man was just her friend or something?"
"I've seen women like that and heard their tactics countless times. You must not be fooled by her."
