Zhu Zhuqing Scores Twice

Xiao Wu froze, the foot she had just lifted hanging in midair as her whole body went rigid.

It took her a long while to compose herself. She looked back at Jiang Qin with an extremely complicated expression before leaving.

Jiang Qin took a deep breath and let out a quiet sigh.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take Xiao Wu. On the contrary, as a healthy man, he very much did.

But Xiao Wu had clearly come intending to sacrifice herself to save the other three. If he seized the opportunity, wouldn't that be giving her exactly what she wanted?

Taking a city was the lesser victory; winning a heart was the greater one.

It was better to have Xiao Wu come willingly. Besides, the system also required her to sign the contract of her own free will, without coercion.

Good food was worth the wait, but...

Jiang Qin looked down and gave a couple of rueful chuckles.

"Damn it. Big brother plays the good guy, and little brother pays the price."

He shook his head with a bitter smile. Just as he was about to cosplay a Calabash Brother, he heard three knocks.

Someone was knocking at the door again.

Jiang Qin got up, puzzled. Could Xiao Wu be back to cause more trouble?

"The door's unlocked," he called lazily, then lay back down.

He didn't want to waste any more words.

But...

The door creaked open, and a different figure entered.

She had a cold, pretty face and an extremely magnificent figure. If Xiao Wu was cotton candy, then this woman was a genuine White Rabbit candy...

She wore an extremely loose shirt that barely covered her body, leaving a pair of perfect, long legs completely bare. She was incredibly sexy.

Who else could it be but Zhu Zhuqing?

Jiang Qin swallowed, unable to help himself, and put on a stern, righteous expression. "Zhu Zhuqing? What brings you here so late?"

His voice held a trace of trembling and desire that even he didn't notice.

Damn it. He'd finally managed to suppress it, and now, overnight, he was right back where he started...

Jiang Qin really couldn't figure out why Zhu Zhuqing had come looking for him so late either. It was as though she'd arranged it with Xiao Wu...

Zhu Zhuqing gently smoothed the hair the wind had tousled on her way over and tucked it behind her ear, revealing her beautiful face fully to Jiang Qin.

Without a word, she stepped inside and pulled the door shut behind her, locking it with a click.

The click of the lock was exceptionally crisp. Jiang Qin watched him with a burning gaze.

Even a fool could have guessed the purpose of that move.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little strange.

Zhu Zhuqing came closer, trying hard to make her voice seductive, but she was extremely clumsy, like a child trying to talk like a grown-up:

"Jiang Qin, can you help me?"

Whether because she was so unpracticed or because she was shy, her usually frosty face was now covered in red, making for a striking contrast.

Hearing the exact same words Xiao Wu had spoken and seeing Zhu Zhuqing's clumsy imitation, Jiang Qin couldn't help bursting out laughing. She was just too cute.

Zhu Zhuqing was embarrassed now too. Flustered and angry, she said, "Am I that funny?"

Then she remembered why she had come and regretted it, but she couldn't take the words back. Her hands twisted together as she grew nervous.

"I can't help it. You're just too cute today, Zhu Zhuqing... What do you want me to help you with?"

Halfway through, he saw Zhu Zhuqing's expression and immediately changed the subject, putting aside his urge to tease her.

That one remark shattered the courage Zhu Zhuqing had just managed to summon.

Since she couldn't keep up the act, Zhu Zhuqing decided to let the broken pot shatter. Her face turned cold again, though desire showed in her eyes. "Jiang Qin, I want to get stronger."

"Can you tell me how you got your three purple Soul Rings?"

"And the Feng Hou Qi Men Rongrong demonstrated today, I want to learn that too..."

Jiang Qin didn't answer. Instead, a smile curved his lips as he stared straight at him.

Only then did Zhu Zhuqing realize how improper her words were. They were neither family nor friends, and they had barely spoken before today. Why should he just teach her?

He wasn't a bootlicker like Oscar!

She finally remembered why she had come and put on a brave face. "Don't worry, Jiang Qin. I won't let you help me for nothing..."

But no matter how she tried, she couldn't get the rest out. She closed her mouth awkwardly.

She couldn't help silently cursing herself. She had made up her mind on the way over. Zhu Zhuqing, why are you such a coward...?

But after she'd said that much, Jiang Qin should have understood what she meant, right?

Watching the frosty Zhu Zhuqing, Jiang Qin felt a powerful desire to conquer her rise within him. Pretending not to understand, he asked, "What can you do for me?"

Blushing, Zhu Zhuqing walked over gently. Her loose shirt couldn't conceal her surging curves, which rose and fell like the tide.

She plopped down on the bed, a mist gathering in her eyes. Her red lips parted, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Is this... enough?"

For some reason, as Zhu Zhuqing looked at Jiang Qin's face, she suddenly felt a strange excitement. Her heart pounded uncontrollably.

This is just a transaction, Zhu Zhuqing. Why are you so nervous?

It's not like I have a bit of a soft spot for him or anything!

"Mmh~"

Jiang Qin kissed her, interrupting her girlish thoughts. Zhu Zhuqing was soon swept up in the moment too. She clumsily opened her mouth and gave him a gentle push, only to find herself unable to resist leaning into him.

The next day, sometime after nine in the morning.

Jiang Qin woke first. He moved his head and immediately felt something extremely soft and yielding, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

Zhu Zhuqing squirmed in displeasure and mumbled, "Stop it. Let me sleep a little longer~"

After speaking, she smacked her lips twice, as though she'd tasted something delicious.

She looked so cute and gentle that anyone who saw her would have been dumbfounded. Was this really the cold, mature beauty Zhu Zhuqing?

And the one responsible for this transformation was right beside her, quietly watching.

His eyes were full of pride as he prepared to wake the cat girl...

Though perhaps big cat girl was more appropriate. There was nothing little about her...

Zhu Zhuqing's long eyelashes fluttered. She rubbed her sleepy eyes with her fair, tender hands and finally woke up.

The moment she saw Jiang Qin, her face flushed. Everything from last night was still vivid in her mind, and she hastily pulled the blanket over herself, concealing her exposed body.

Everything from last night instantly resurfaced in her mind. At first, she had pretended to be reserved, but then she had become like a lone boat on a raging sea, quickly overturned by the waves.

She had been utterly submerged and swallowed up, unable to think of anything else...

Jiang Qin pulled up his pants. "Don't worry. I'll take responsibility for you."

A classic scumbag line.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, too embarrassed to get a word out. Or perhaps she simply didn't know what to say...

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

Dai Mubai's voice followed:

"Jiang Qin, are you awake? I have something very important to tell you!"
