Chapter 207: It Will Be Our Wedding Day

There have been quite a few things going on recently, and the two haven’t been intimate for a long time.

In the past few days, they returned to their routine life, just everyday household activities, and it seems that neither of them has considered intimacy. Whether it’s because those previous events really affected their mood, or because they’ve been together for a long time and don’t feel that kind of impulse anymore…

The truth proves that it couldn’t be the latter. How could there be no impulse when so many barriers haven’t been crossed yet…

Intimacy happens naturally when emotions are strong, not something deliberate. When you truly like and respect each other, you won’t deliberately think about pursuing such things. But once the atmosphere is right, both people will naturally come together, wishing to be even closer to each other.

Just like the excitement and joy of achieving an important goal, there’s nothing like a passionate kiss to express the emotions in one’s heart.

Tongues intertwined have become commonplace, no longer causing the initial awkward collisions. Climbing to the peak has happened many times, and Qiu Wuji no longer subconsciously stopped him.

Even when his lips were moving downward, his hands unbuttoning her shirt, Qiu Wuji still didn’t resist. She instinctively followed his movements, tilting her delicate swan-like neck slightly, responding to his kisses and finding it quite comfortable.

Truly like an old couple… Qiu Wuji looked somewhat absentmindedly at the ceiling, suddenly a thought emerged in her mind…

Husband and wife…

He buried his head in the mountains, and Qiu Wuji woke up a bit, scolding, “I came back from my driving lesson, I haven’t showered, I’m dirty…”

Chu Ge mumbled vaguely, “My Qiuqiu would never be dirty.”

Qiu Wuji looked down at him, her gaze a bit reproachful and somewhat gentle, just like looking at a mischievous child: “Is it tasty?”

“…”

Qiu Wuji gradually began to feel a bit strange, and she couldn’t control her breathing. Her reproachful gaze became more intense, thinking that it must be because of this guy’s wild imagination about her body, being overly sensitive, her noble self wouldn’t act like this…

But… it’s so strange…

“Hey…” She bit her lower lip, whispering, “That’s enough… if you keep this up, I’ll hit you…”

Chu Ge mumbled, “You might as well just kill me…”

Who can stop this!

Qiu Wuji started to panic a bit, pushing his shoulder, “Hey… hah…”

Suddenly, that hand became weak, her whole body tensed up, and Qiu Wuji finally panicked completely. She flipped over with all her might, pinning Chu Ge underneath.

Chu Ge didn’t resist with force, he just let out a sigh, allowing her to pin him down, his eyes looking somewhat pitiful.

Qiu Wuji was straddling him, hastily adjusting her clothes and panting, teeth clenched: “Do you really think you can just do it in one go? Dream on!”

“Qiuqiu~” Chu Ge gazed at the covered mountains reluctantly, pouting with a pitiful expression.

“Don’t use this trick on me! We, we’re not married!”

“Then let’s get married.”

As if an otherworldly divine sword had pierced through, accurately exposing the vulnerability in the defense, the air instantly fell silent.

Indeed, in ancient times, people wouldn’t engage in certain activities before marriage, that’s understandable. But once married, wouldn’t everything be settled? Could there be any more obstacles…? There wouldn’t be any hindrances!

Qiu Wuji’s eyes grew even more panicked. She stuttered for a while before gathering her courage to say, “Why should I marry you? I told you… you’re so weak… do you just float away with a mere million yuan? Truly, men turn bad when they have money…”

Chu Ge looked at her helplessly. “Indeed, it’s because I have some money that I feel I can pay for the down payment of a house… in my perspective, that’s a prerequisite for marriage, rather than being able to defeat you in a fight…”

Qiu Wuji blinked her eyes.

A house…

Why did she feel a bit excited? No, that’s not it…

She nervously said, “You haven’t even received the money yet! And that’s your perspective, not mine!”

“Is your perspective all about being able to beat me?” Chu Ge said helplessly, then suddenly burst into laughter. “Hey, if I can’t beat you for hundreds or thousands of years, does that mean you’re digging a pit for yourself?”

“Ugh, I don’t want to get married, why would I dig a pit for myself! I’m just giving you some hope!”

Chu Ge just continued to laugh.

“Furthermore, I would never be interested in such a weak man. I must have lost my mind to even consider you!” After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Wuji added, “And don’t you dare slack off. Just being able to defeat my clone is enough; I never asked you to be able to defeat my real self!”

Fine, I won’t cultivate my clone anymore, I’ll just wait for you… Qiu Wuji thought to herself, a blush unconsciously spreading across her cheeks.

Chu Ge then reached out and gently rubbed her cheek, smiling, “Alright, alright, you’re making it sound like I’m all about that…”

Qiu Wuji muttered, “Aren’t you…”

“At most, it’s just a moment of passion.”

Indeed, it was just a moment of passion. As the passion cooled down, Qiu Wuji lying on top of Chu Ge felt quite cozy, as if they were having a warm conversation. It felt a bit better than the earlier nibbling and biting…

Qiu Wuji playfully tugged at a strand of her hair, tracing circles on Chu Ge’s face, looking as if she wanted to draw a little pig.

“Qiuqiu…” Chu Ge suddenly called.

“Hmm?” Qiu Wuji paused.

“I’ve been thinking, your insistence on me having to be able to defeat you before getting married might not necessarily stem from a requirement for your partner’s strength.”

“Huh?” Qiu Wuji stopped drawing, momentarily puzzled.

She realized that she had indeed made such a demand before, stemming from a deeply ingrained belief in strength, even though it was now shaky and she only maintained it to save face.

Chu Ge’s voice turned gentle as he continued, “Actually, I think it’s more about a sense of unease, a lack of certainty about the future, an inability to grasp it. Even back then, we couldn’t be sure if we’d be able to meet again the next time… so what’s the point of talking about marriage? You’ve always pushed me to cultivate, hoping that I’d be stronger than you. Ultimately, I think it’s because you want us to have some control over our destinies.”

Qiu Wuji drifted into thought.

Perhaps he was right, it seemed to be true.

And now that it seemed like they could grasp the future, she had started to waver, and he had a bit of money, so he began to seriously consider marriage…

Chu Ge continued, “Even though it seems like we’re getting a better grasp of the world now, I often feel a bit uneasy. We haven’t even figured out the specific path to that world yet. What if I wake up tomorrow and can’t sense that world anymore… Qiuqiu…”

Qiu Wuji absentmindedly responded with a quiet “Hmm.”

“Shall we make a promise?” Chu Ge said seriously, “On the day we find a stable pathway, no matter how it takes form, whether it’s my real body going in and out or me having complete control, on that day, it will be our wedding day, alright?”

Qiu Wuji’s gaze turned completely into autumn water, shimmering as she looked into his eyes.

After gazing at each other for a long while, she softly replied, “Alright, this shall be our pact.”

She playfully pecked Chu Ge’s lips and got up, laughing, “I’m going to make dinner.”

Qiu Wuji knew, this was the true commitment of a lifetime. It could be said that from this moment onward, the attribute of “girlfriend” had transformed into that of “fiancée.”

However, they didn’t hold such explicit notions in their minds, because that goal was indeed somewhat elusive, not as straightforward as “cars and houses.”

Yet, between their gazes, it was inevitable to feel that something had changed… you looked at me, and I felt a bit shy and lowered my head; I looked at you, and you averted your eyes. Even during the meal, their interactions were like a silent play.

It wasn’t until they finished their meal that Qiu Wuji stood up and exclaimed, “What are you staring at, so boring!”

“Not boring, can’t get enough.” Chu Ge didn’t back down. He got up and walked over to her side, then scooped her up horizontally.

“Hey hey…” Qiu Wuji struggled, “What are you doing…”

“After dinner, I’m going to hold my Qiuqiu and watch TV together.” Chu Ge laughed, “It’s not good to start writing just after eating.”

“You know it’s not good!” At this moment, Qiu Wuji conveniently left out the fact that she often pushed him to write, feeling a bit secretly delighted.

Her personality had been gradually changing due to being in love, becoming more and more tender and affectionate, and so had Chu Ge’s.

The once straight steel man was becoming gentler, more understanding of a woman’s heart.

But in reality, neither of these descriptions were quite accurate… Qiu Wuji’s mind once again flickered with a thought from earlier— Even though they weren’t married yet, they truly felt like an old married couple…’
