Chapter 131

At this moment, Chu Ge happily packed up the takeout box and sat back in front of the computer, still smiling foolishly.

It was agreed to work on organizing the outline today, but the document was just sitting there. The words were looking at him, he didn’t know what he was looking at. His mind was completely absent.

Kissing her, it was so sweet, so soft.

Oh, I was too nervous to get a proper sense of the taste. I really want to experience it again. How did I forget all the movie plots after being put on the spot? I couldn’t remember any of them. When will the next opportunity come? Ah, I don’t know….wuwu

Chu Ge was sitting there, sometimes happily, sometimes regretful, and didn’t move from his spot. A fragrant breeze brushed past him, and Qiu Wuji poured a cup of tea and placed it beside him.

“Are you stuck with the story?” Qiu Wuji asked gently.

Qiu Ge was taken aback by her gentle voice. Weren’t you just acting spoiled and throwing a tantrum?

Qiu Wuji said something gentle, as if she herself was not accustomed to it. Her cheeks turned slightly red, and her gaze wandered as she looked at the document. “If you’re stuck, don’t force it… Some things can be discussed with me, or we can go out for a walk.”

Chu Ge thought about it and realized it made sense. Although he didn’t want her to know the plot right now, discussing and gaining inspiration from her was completely fine. Qiu Wuji was, after all, a character from the book, familiar with that world and capable of strategic thinking as a generation’s sect leader.

He was quite clever and cautiously tested the waters, saying, “Then we can discuss while going for a walk.”

Qiu Wuji was very satisfied with his response, making her “request to go shopping” less obvious. It was him who asked to go for a walk, and reluctantly, she agreed!

Chu Ge went to the kitchen and grabbed a takeout trash bag, then headed out with Qiu Wuji. While waiting for the elevator, she glanced at his hand but didn’t say anything.

Chu Ge immediately switched the trash bag to his other hand and held her small hand. A smile formed at the corner of Qiu Wuji’s mouth.

Standing in the elevator, both of them simultaneously felt a sense of darkness that they hadn’t experienced before, as if there was no one around and the space was confined, making them feel an impulse to be close to each other.

Why didn’t they have this feeling before?

Chu Ge cleared his throat and stared straight at the surveillance camera above without saying a word. Qiu Wuji also kept a straight face and stared at the surveillance camera without speaking.

In fact, she could have made sure the camera didn’t capture them… Just as she hesitated a bit, the elevator made a “ding” sound and arrived.

Qiu Wuji: “The floor is really low.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Ge: “?”

Qiu Wuji flicked her ponytail and jumped out of the elevator, pulling Chu Ge along in a bouncy manner. “Where should we go?”

Chu Ge thought for a moment. “Since we’re discussing the plot, let’s go to a quiet place like the riverside park. There might be more people walking around in the evening, but in the early afternoon, there shouldn’t be many.”

Qiu Wuji recalled seeing the suggestion of going to the park when she once searched for “where to take a girl out,” and she became happy. “Then let’s go to the park.”

The park was a bit far. Chu Ge hopped on an electric bike, and Qiu Wuji naturally sat on it as well, wrapping her arms around his waist.

Chu Ge stiffened for a moment. He had always tried to get Qiu Wuji to hold onto his waist, but he never dared to say it, fearing she would think he had ulterior motives and hit him. Today, she actually took the initiative to hug him, and she hugged him so naturally that it made him feel silly for even questioning it.

In fact, not only did Qiu Wuji want to hug him, but she also wanted to try leaning her head against his back like other girls do, feeling the sweetness of it.

But for the time being, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. What if this idiot asks, “What’s wrong with you today, are you feeling unwell?” That would definitely make her want to hit him.

Forget it, hmph.

But hugging him was still very comfortable, at least her hands had a place to rest. His abs were not bad either; he had been exercising well these days… Qiu Wuji touched them.

Chu Ge mumbled, “Stop touching…”

Qiu Wuji immediately responded, “As your master, I’m inspecting the results of your exercise these days. Where was your mind?”

“…I wasn’t thinking about anything. I was just telling you that it’s itchy when you touch like that while I’m riding the bike…”

Qiu Wuji almost changed “touch” to “pinch,” her face turning red as blood. Idiot, complete idiot!

“Oh…” Chu Ge suddenly asked, “By the way, this Mengmeng, introduce her to me some day.”

Qiu Wuji became alert. “What are you up to?”

“Nothing, she’s your friend. I don’t know her, and it’s not right to not know your friend at least.”

Qiu Wuji didn’t understand why he suddenly brought up the fact that you should know my friends, but it did seem like he should know them. She just asked, “You never mentioned it before. Why did you suddenly think of this?”

“I asked Zhong Yi and confirmed if this family is reliable… He said they are.”

Qiu Wuji hummed, “Do I need him to tell me? I can easily tell whether mortals have ill intentions, just like how I could tell you had no ill intentions back then…” She stopped halfway through her sentence.

She felt like he might as well act on those intentions, so she doesn’t have to be so conflicted like this….By the way, does constantly thinking about lewd things all day count as ill intentions? Oh, and back then, when he tricked her into wearing hollowed-out lingerie, was that ill intentions?

Chu Ge had no idea what she was thinking and laughed, “Thinking about when you just came out… It feels like ages ago.”

Yes… Qiu Wuji looked at the white clouds in the sky, her eyes filled with memories. The desire to cut him down with a sword back then had gradually turned into her current state, sitting in the backseat of his bike, holding onto his waist, and feeling happy.

When did it start exactly? Even with her memory that could span thousands of years, she couldn’t recall… It didn’t seem necessary to remember when it started. Was it important?

The two of them arrived at the park and strolled hand in hand. As expected, there weren’t many people in the afternoon, and it was relatively peaceful. Surprisingly, there were a few couples holding hands and walking under the shade of trees, it seemed like everyone had similar thoughts…

They were also one of those couples, blending into the scenery.

“It’s quite beautiful here.” Qiu Wuji was pleasantly surprised.

With cobblestone paths and shaded trees, the leaves had turned yellow, occasionally fluttering down as they walked, making a rustling sound on the path. The South River flowed by their side, quietly flowing eastward, gently merging into the sea. Under the sunlight, the water shimmered with autumn vibes.

Autumn was Qiu Wuji’s season, that’s how she always felt.

Chu Ge thought the same, “The park is just average, but it becomes the most beautiful season because it’s your season.”

Qiu Wuji turned to look at him, her eyes filled with delight. The man who understands me the most.

What? Isn’t that a good thing? Who says it’s not a good thing!

Hand in hand, they walked along the tree-lined path without speaking, both enjoying the gentle autumn breeze by the riverside, the fragrance of the park, and the fragrance of love.

Talking about the plot? Who wants to talk about that nonsense?

As they walked further inside, they saw more and more young couples sitting on the stone benches under the shade, embracing and whispering to each other.

There were also girls resting their heads on boys’ shoulders, while the boys hesitated, wanting to sneak a kiss on the girls’ faces.

Qiu Wuji wore an auntie-like smile. This is so nice.

Continuing forward, they saw another pair of young couples, with the girl resting her head on the boy’s shoulder, dozing off, while the boy played with his phone.

Qiu Wuji pursed her lips, as if she could see the future evolution of herself and Chu Ge. She really wanted to tell him that he shouldn’t do that in the future, but when she opened her mouth, the words wouldn’t come out.

She thought back with some annoyance to the times when he took her out to have fun and saw other couples being affectionate. She would always feel restless and uneasy, but now, what was this feeling…

Then she heard Chu Ge whisper, “That guy is an idiot.”

“Huh?” Qiu Wuji didn’t react for a moment. “What?”

Chu Ge thought she hadn’t heard clearly, so he leaned closer and whispered, “I said that guy is an idiot.”

With their ears so close, it tickled both her ear and heart. Qiu Wuji glanced at him, “What would you do if it were you?”

Her eyes were like rippling water.

Chu Ge felt that this gaze could scratch someone’s heart… In an instant, he felt a little thirsty, but he didn’t dare answer that question. Calling the guy an idiot was already a clear hint. Did she want me to say that I want to kiss you? As if I deserve to be slapped for no reason.

Idiot, you’re the real idiot. Qiu Wuji suppressed the restlessness in her heart, kept walking, and when she saw an empty stone bench up ahead, she stopped and said, “I’m tired.”

Chu Ge quickly said, “Then let’s sit for a while.”

Even though the stone bench was quite long, they still sat closely together. After all, other people were sitting close together too, so they followed the crowd, nothing wrong with that.

“I was asking you a question earlier,” Qiu Wuji said again. “What would you do if it were you?”

Chu Ge shrank back, “I would, I would… kiss you.”

“Is that so?” Qiu Wuji suddenly grabbed his collar and, seeing the look of bewilderment in his eyes, fiercely kissed him.

Chu Ge was dumbfounded.

Sect Master Qiu, what are you doing, Qiu Qiu?

Qiu Wuji didn’t know how to kiss properly either. She just pressed her lips against his for a moment and quickly pulled away. Suppressing the fluttering feeling in her heart, she had a stern expression and said, “I think you’re cute, just playing around. What’s with that expression?”

After saying that, she added, “It’s no big deal.”
