A perfectly closed-loop trap

Though they had already done everything there was to do.

At that moment.

Feeling Shi Jiu's soft embrace, Jiang Fu still blushed, a wonderfully strange feeling stirring in his heart.

...I kind of don't want to get down.

Jiang Fu turned his head slightly toward Shi Jiu's flushed little face, which was brimming with excitement. "Xiao Jiu, how did you reel me in?"

Shi Jiu scratched Jiang Fu's head.

That question...

She had asked it before, too.

But what had Jiang Fu said back then?

Oh.

He hadn't answered.

He had brushed it off by talking about awakening a sequence.

Some inexplicable force had sealed him.
