Chapter 130: First Kiss

“I’ve thought about it… actually, it wouldn’t be difficult to handle if the male antagonist came out.”

As noon approached, Qiu Wuji had no intention of stewing chicken. She ordered takeout and also replaced a gas canister, making a phone call. After finishing the call and returning to the room, she looked at Chu Ge, who seemed somewhat conflicted, and suddenly said this.

Chu Ge was taken aback. “What? Are you going to call the police and have him arrested?”

“No,” Qiu Wuji said with a serious expression, “You can modify the settings and change him into a girl or alter his character, making him a male ally. Then you can utilize your advantages…”

Chu Ge’s expression became very strange. “So, you two can fight in a different sense?”

Qiu Wuji sneered, “Have you been writing too many harem novels? What’s going on in your mind?”

Chu Ge retorted angrily, “I should be asking you what’s going on in your mind! Also, I’m don’t want a ‘male ally’!”

Qiu Wuji’s expression turned dangerous, and she said fiercely, “I don’t care what you want. At that time, I will decapitate you both with a single sword. It will be true freedom and liberation, so I won’t have to endure being bullied anymore, whether it’s getting spanked or massaging someone’s shoulders..”

Chu Ge blinked his eyes and suddenly smiled, “You can sever it now, too.”

Qiu Wuji turned her head aside and muttered, “I’m afraid of the world’s destruction.”

“Are you reluctant to leave the world?” Chu Ge stood up and walked towards her, instinctively reaching out to caress her face.

Qiu Wuji took a half step back. “Don’t take advantage of the situation. You won’t lose your ability to speak if you keep your hands to yourself!”

Seeing the panic in her eyes, Chu Ge spoke softly, “Could it be that you’re reluctant to leave me?”

Qiu Wuji became anxious. “Stop being so conceited, Creator God!”

She pretended to strike him. “I dare to hit you! Who the hell would be reluctant to leave you? It would be better if you were dead!”

Chu Ge reached out and held her small fist, whispering, “Qiu Qiu, do you know why I’ve been eager to punish you lately?”

Qiu Wuji struggled with her wrist and angrily said, “Isn’t it just being lewd and using excuses to bully your disciple and assistant? What else can it be?”

Chu Ge shook his head and looked up thoughtfully. “When I know you’re going to have a decisive battle, I’ve been uneasy from the start. I’m afraid of you experiencing life-or-death moments, afraid of not being in control of everything, afraid that something might go wrong… When you go back, I desperately want to watch over you, worried about every twist and turn…”

Qiu Wuji’s struggling gradually subsided as she stared at him in silence.

He didn’t say a word of falsehood. His concerns had already manifested a month ago.

“I wrote this battle in the plot, and I even regret it in my heart. I shouldn’t have written a duel between my Qiu Qiu and someone else, especially since I portrayed Yan Qianli as extremely powerful to elevate his status… Throughout the protagonist’s entire journey until the end, there are barely any opponents who can match Yan Qianli’s strength… Once you returned, I couldn’t sit still. I always felt that if something happened, it would be my fault for putting you in danger.”

Qiu Wuji pursed her lips. “It’s not… not that exaggerated.”

“I was afraid you would encounter difficulties. I repeatedly reminded you, but you still encountered them… Although the direction of the difficulties wasn’t due to underestimating the enemy, and it might not be your fault, I just wanted to punish you. I gave you all those reminders…” Chu Ge’s voice trembled slightly. He was truly filled with fear. “If something really happened to you, what would I do…”

Qiu Wuji’s eyes gradually filled with a watery glimmer as she gazed at his face.

If something really happened to me, you would continue living your life as usual, right? You’ve already lived through the past twenty or thirty years, so what else can you do…

But she couldn’t bring herself to say those words. She felt a softness in her heart and couldn’t find the right words to say.

“It was a close call. Yan Qianli’s variables were suppressed, but you still got injured. I worried about your condition, and as soon as I woke up, I sensed the world, afraid that you couldn’t come out, unsure of your current state.” Chu Ge sighed softly, his voice low. “I was mentally exhausted, and I couldn’t get in. I was anxious but helpless. I tried reaching out to you, but you ignored me. Do you know how angry I was… That feeling of being helpless, unable to meet across two realms, I really don’t want to experience it again…”

Qiu Wuji watched him as he touched her face, and then she watched him wrap his arms around her tightly. She could hear his murmurs in her ear. “You’re fine, you came out, it’s great.”

Qiu Wuji closed her eyes, vividly “seeing” her own actions—hugging him back and leaning against his chest.

He held her so tightly, as if he would lose her if he loosened his grip.

His heartbeat was slightly rapid, thump thump.

Her own heartbeat matched his.

He smelled good… Well, of course, I washed his clothes!

Qiu Wuji didn’t want to speak. It felt like listening to his heartbeat was the same as listening to him speak. Listening to his heart, so real.

It feels like I’m really in love. Her prideful heart deceived herself so far, but she couldn’t deceive herself anymore…

It’s all because he acted like a brat and wrote something like, “If you’re looking for a man, find the Creator God.”

And then she became the shameless creator god’s disciple and assistant.

He played dirty on this day, but I’m the one who fell for it…

His head started to move again, coming down from her hair and brushing past her cheek. There was a tingling sensation, a slight numbness.

Qiu Wuji’s heart started to beat rapidly, but she realized that she had become sluggish. She forgot how to swiftly dodge and counterattack, and in the midst of pounding heartbeats, he found her lips.

A light touch at the corner of their lips caused an electric current to explode, spreading throughout their bodies, paralyzing their souls.

Qiu Wuji didn’t have time to react, as her lips were pressed tightly against his, kissed forcefully.

She could only subconsciously purse her lips tightly, widening her eyes as she made a “woo woo” sound, as if warning him not to. But the sound seemed powerless to even her. She weakly pushed against his chest with her slender hand.

Chu Ge’s actions were also clumsy, and his mind was empty.

He didn’t intend for this to happen, but in the face of overwhelming emotions, he couldn’t resist. In fact, he hadn’t made any mental preparations to kiss her before this moment, but naturally, it happened. She didn’t push him away, they were really kissing.

This was Qiu Wuji’s first kiss, and it was Chu Ge’s as well. Two bewildered individuals, driven by instinct, both nervous and clueless, involuntarily tensed their bodies, held their breaths, as if in a battle.

“Ding Ling Ling!”

The doorbell rang. “Delivery!”

They separated abruptly, as if being shocked by electricity, and both started breathing heavily. They didn’t know whether to blame the delivery person or to be thankful for the interruption that gave them a brief respite.

Both of them were almost stunned… like they had completely lost their minds.

But as Chu Ge looked at Qiu Wuji’s flushed face, rosy lips, and the spring-like gaze in her eyes, he still felt that this was the most beautiful Qiu Wuji.

“Why haven’t you gone to answer the door yet?” Qiu Wuji angrily kicked up her foot, blushing with embarrassment. “Don’t think you can take advantage of me so easily!”

Chu Ge laughed. “Yes, ma’am.”

The mood at this moment was really good. The delivery guy had probably never encountered such a polite customer before. He opened the door while humming a song, took the delivery with a smile, and repeatedly said, “Thank you, would you like a candy?”

The delivery guy felt inexplicable. Why would he eat candy? But he couldn’t help but be infected by the smile and said, “You’re welcome, no problem. Just give me a good review.”

“Of course.” Chu Ge immediately opened the app and gave a five-star review on the spot.

This moment seemed like a time of wish fulfillment. If someone needed to borrow money, it would be the perfect time!

Turning his head, Chu Ge noticed that Qiu Wuji had already hidden inside the house and refused to come out.

“Time to eat!” Chu Ge knocked on the door.

“I’m not eating! What’s there to eat!” Qiu Wuji’s voice came from inside, filled with anger.

Chu Ge smiled and didn’t mind, he opened the packaging and said with a smile, “The appearance of today’s braised pork ribs looks pretty good.”

“Bang!” The door opened, and Qiu Wuji sat down opposite with a stern face. “I think it looks average.”

“Of course, it’s not as delicious as the one made by my Qiu Qiu.”

“I think you want to remove the words ‘made by’,” Qiu Wuji retorted.

Chu Ge exclaimed, feeling that it made sense. What else could be as sweet as Qiu Qiu’s lips! But it was better not to say that, just keep quiet and make a fortune.

Qiu Wuji was annoyed by his smiling face, and she ate her meal with a sullen expression, not enjoying the food.

“It’s not tasty, I won’t order takeout anymore. I’ll cook food myself!”

“Okay, okay.”

“Don’t look at my mouth when you speak! I’m not a pork rib!”

Chu Ge lowered his head and focused on eating.

Qiu Wuji pouted and returned to her room, angry.

She wasn’t angry at Chu Ge, but at herself. How did she let herself be deceived so easily? Now, even looking at his face is awkward. No matter what he says, it all feels suspicious. What should she do…

Lost in thought, Qiu Wuji sighed softly.

But… being kissed by him, she doesn’t really dislike it…

Does she really like him?

But if she dares to say that she likes him, he will surely take advantage of it and do even more inappropriate things.

Qiu Wuji took out her phone and consulted her best friend: “Meng Meng, Meng Meng!”

Zhu Mengmeng: “Huh? What’s up? Do you want to come for tea in the afternoon? We just got a batch of autumn tea, it’s really good.”

“It’s not… Meng Meng, you have a lot of experience with relationships, right?”

“Hey, we’re close friends, don’t go around making false statements, it could still be considered defamation… And it’s not that much experience…”

“Please imitate the tone of a man who makes people angry, so I can dispel my romantic impulse.”

Zhu Mengmeng fell silent for a moment and sent a long series of messages: “Have you eaten? Go to bed early. This thing is a bit expensive.”

“My phone ran out of battery, I just turned it on. I’ve been thinking about you all this time.”

“I’m busy with something, just finished. I’ve been busy all day, I’m really tired.”

“I love you. How could that be? That girl is my sister.”

“Don’t make a scene, it’s not true. We’re just having a drink together.”

“I drank too much, I’m talking nonsense. We’re just good friends.”

“Why are you like this? I’m sorry, I don’t even know what I did wrong.”

“You’re great, I’m not worthy. Okay, baby, find someone else.”

“Anything else?” Zhu Mengmeng asked.

Qiu Wuji was stunned.

Each of those lines, when imagined in her situation, made her clench her fists. Men in this world are so terrifying?

Zhu Mengmeng earnestly advised, “Love is war, and what we need to do is say these things ourselves instead of letting those stinky men say them. Whoever says it wins!”

Qiu Wuji silently read through for a while and suddenly smiled. She slowly replied, “But Meng Meng, he has never said any of these things, not a single word… So, are you assisting him?”

Zhu Mengmeng was dumbfounded. “Are there still such good men these days? No, wait, of course it’s good that he didn’t succeed, it would be different if he did!”

“How do you define ‘succeed’?”

“I bet that once you start living together, he’ll change his tune!”

“Living together?” Qiu Wuji looked up and pondered for a while before smiling brightly. “We’ve been living together for a long time now, and he really hasn’t…”

Zhu Mengmeng: “…Where did you find your boyfriend? Can you introduce one to me?”

Qiu Wuji leaned back in her chair and thought for a long, long time, whispering to herself, “Then let’s be in love.”
