Chapter 158: A Place That Shelters From Wind And Rain

“Do you people in this era really care about size so much?” Qiu Wuji asked curiously, “I see them chatting online, and they seem very enthusiastic about it.”

Chu Ge also asked curiously, “Do you think it’s too vulgar? But in fact, even the old critics in ancient times loved commenting on such matters, they even openly wrote poems about it. You shouldn’t be surprised about it…”

“But it seems like girls didn’t care about it back then. Even if they did, it was only about fertility and such,” Qiu Wuji said. “But I see that modern girls especially care about it. You also said that editors will remember you for a lifetime. I’ve seen Mengmeng discussing the secrets of breast enhancement with others multiple times, and she looks so frustrated. It’s really strange. She’s not doing it for the sake of reproduction, so what is there to care about? Is it just to please men?”

Chu Ge instinctively glanced at her figure. “That’s right, it’s for the sake of pleasing men.”

Qiu Wuji pressed his face to the side without any expression and said, “However, no one really looks at it, but everyone gets angry if they do. If I were her, I would dig out that perverted person’s eyes with my own hands! What’s the point of all the hard work if it contradicts like that?”

“After thinking for so long, you’re actually pondering such philosophical questions?” Chu Ge said helplessly. He rolled his eyes and coughed, saying, “Of course, outsiders shouldn’t look casually. Presumably, Zhu Mengmeng also wants to show the most beautiful side of herself to the person she likes, so she cares… So, you…”

“Go to hell! Do you think I’m a naive little girl who’s easy to deceive?” Qiu Wuji grabbed a pillow and pressed it against his face, then huffily walked out of the room, “I’m going back to my room. Enjoy yourself.”

“Wait…”

Qiu Wuji stiffened her neck and didn’t look back. “Sleeping together that day was just to appease your mother. Now that she’s gone, we should go back to the way things were. Don’t think you can be casually frivolous with me!”

“I knew you would use this kind of excuse.” Chu Ge sighed, “Okay, okay, I was prepared for it. I didn’t call you for that.”

Qiu Wuji let out a relieved sigh and didn’t argue with him about whether it counted as an excuse. She turned back and asked, “Then, what is it?”

“Just now, you mentioned Zhu Mengmeng, and it reminded me that I have something to report,” Chu Ge briefly explained the situation at the Miracle Nightclub and continued, “From what I observed, Zhu Mengmeng’s carefree and experienced appearance seems to be just a facade. Her behavior is more like someone who has been separated from her husband for two years but still wants to win him back… Additionally, her husband is not ordinary. Both Moon Shadow and I feel that he doesn’t have any special abilties, but his composure in the face of us wrecking the venue is even more remarkable than that of ability users.”

“Oh…” Qiu Wuji was taken aback and touched her chin, “After all that, it turns out Mengmeng herself is a novice. It seems that I should go and teach her about love experiences another day…”

Chu Ge almost burst out laughing. “You? Teaching others about love experiences?”

“What, what’s wrong with that!” Qiu Wuji stubbornly replied, “Can’t I teach people about love?”

“Teach her to dig out someone’s eyes if they look at her treasure?”

Qiu Wuji’s eyes flickered, and suddenly she moved closer, exhaling fragrantly, “I almost forgot. The Creator God once descended upon the Cloud Horizon Mountains and saw some things…”

Chu Ge backed away.

“So… Creator God, does it look good?”

“N-No, it doesn’t…”

“Hmm?”

Chu Ge quickly changed his tune, “L-Looks good… it looks good…?”

“How good is it? Please, Creator God, write a poem to give your critique.”

“The snow on the Cloud Horizon Mountains is so white…”

“You’re dead, Chu Ge!” Qiu Wuji successfully used her law enforcement techniques and ruthlessly overturned Chu Ge on the bed, giving him a good beating.

“Eh, eh…” Chu Ge clumsily tried to defend himself but couldn’t withstand the assault. He quickly resorted to his ultimate move, “I’m still injured!”

Qiu Wuji’s fist instantly softened. Who was Chu Ge getting injured for this time? Thinking about it, she felt a bit guilty, thinking that she was too impatient and had caused trouble for him.

Chu Ge held onto her fair wrist, and Qiu Wuji didn’t struggle free. He lay on the bed, with Qiu Wuji pressing on top of him. Their eyes met, and a subtle allure flickered within their gaze.

Confirming their relationship, it wasn’t always good…. it felt like it could become a signal to be intimate at any moment. Especially when both parties themselves desired intimacy.

Qiu Wuji, feeling somewhat flustered, avoided Chu Ge’s scorching gaze and whispered, “D-Don’t always think about these things… You’ve become bad, Chu Ge…”

Chu Ge said, “Why say I’ve become bad instead of infatuated?”

Qiu Wuji huffed, “If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn’t have agreed to you! What’s the point of confirming this ridiculous relationship? It’s making me look like a witch who is a disaster for the kingdom!”

“I’m not a king.”

“You’re more important than a king.”

Chu Ge paused, unexpectedly at a loss for words because of her remark.

Qiu Wuji turned her head to the side, “Of course, the Creator God is more important than a king, much more important.”

After a while, Chu Ge finally said, “But I feel like not only haven’t you brought disaster to the country, but this time you unexpectedly helped me advance my control over the world… You see, without the driving force of special circumstances, when would I ever try to push my limits and make breakthroughs?”

“You have twisted reasoning.”

“Isn’t it also twisted reasoning to label yourself as a femme fatale? Saying that you’re not one is even more twisted,” Chu Ge laughed. “Since you’re thinking about serious matters, it’s easier to handle… Hey, let’s have a thorough discussion all night about how to utilize our current breakthroughs, what items to acquire, and make a list, shall we?”

Qiu Wuji felt both annoyed and amused. “I’ll think about it myself when I go back to my room. Why do I have to stay up all night with you…”

“Boom!” Suddenly, thunder roared outside the window, interrupting Qiu Wuji’s words.

In an instant, heavy rain poured down.

The raindrops hit the windowsill, pitter-patter. The open window swayed and creaked, and within the blink of an eye, a touch of autumn chill filled the air.

But the room was warm, giving a sense of peace and security.

“I knew it would rain tonight.” Chu Ge listened to the sound of the rain outside and gently embraced Qiu Wuji, whispering, “Since you arrived here, have you never experienced heavy rain? At most, it was just a light drizzle.”

Qiu Wuji recalled and realized it was true. The most memorable rain she encountered was a light shower on the Qixi Festival, and occasionally there were brief showers that quickly passed. This was indeed the first heavy rain she had witnessed since coming to this world.

“Are you going to use this heavy rain to spout some nonsense?” Qiu Wuji remained cautious.

“Some people say that when you break down the character ‘家’ (jiā/home) into its components, it represents a place that shelters from the wind and rain, and raises a litter of piglets.” Chu Ge lightly sniffed her hair fragrance. “Without the raging storms outside, how can one truly appreciate the warmth of home… and there are two little piglets, one Chu Ge, and one Qiu Qiu.”

Qiu Wuji listened in a daze, feeling her body becoming softer and softer. Even though she had originally intended to hit him, straddling him, she didn’t know when it happened, but she unconsciously found herself lying on his chest, his arm wrapped around her waist tightly, pressing against her, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat. The sound of “thump thump,” compared to the pouring rain outside, seemed so peaceful.

The thunder and lightning outside were like the heavenly tribulation in a novel’s world, capable of reducing someone to ashes, yet he stood as a shield in front of her.

Thus, he appeared pale with bloodstains, while she remained unscathed, her magical powers even reset and restored.

A place that shelters from the wind and rain, raising a litter of piglets.

“You… just want to trick me into continuing to sleep here…”

Chu Ge didn’t answer; he just turned over.

Qiu Wuji obediently allowed him to turn over. In the next moment, his lips rained down like droplets on her cheeks, forehead, and the tip of her nose, finally kissing her lips. She actively parted her lips, tightly entwining with him.

…

On the road at night, the heavy rain battered and there were hardly any pedestrians left. Only vehicles cautiously drove with their headlights on, maneuvering through the pouring rain.

Zhong Yi didn’t bother using an umbrella, letting the downpour baptize his body as he silently walked along the long riverside road, step by step.

A long street, a rainy night, a lonely figure.

Perhaps at this moment, he had many thoughts in his heart…

Unfortunately, the Little flame didn’t want to know at all what he was thinking about.

For fuck’s sake, can’t you just go home earlier! Why the hell are you walking on the street in this heavy rain! I’m just a flickering little flame. Do you know how it feels to be drenched by this kind of heavy rain?!

Yan Qianli was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
