Ji Zhangyin isn’t used to being too close to strangers.

When Gu Bai sat down beside him, the expression of the guard who was serving next to him changed. The guard wanted to get up and drive him away, but he was immediately stopped by Ji Zhangyin’s cold gaze.

"Lanling is known as the country of wine, the world’s finest wines are all from that country. Fusang wine is the most distinct among them, only three can compare to it. Jinzun, Muxiang and Hupo, have you tried them?"

Ji Zhangyin stared at the exquisite youth in front of him with interest. He really couldn’t understand why he would suddenly let the youth drink together with him, even sharing a cup together. Not only did he not feel repulsed and disgusted, he was at ease instead.

Now he even allow the youth to get close to his body. It’s very strange. If it was someone else, they would’ve been dragged out and beheaded early on.

Seeing his expression, Gu Bai let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He was betting, betting on his instincts that this person is that man. If it’s really him, he won’t hurt him.

Just like the previous world, he did a lot of self analysis. The reason why Qin Shitian can easily let him approach and create good feelings between them is because of their acquaintance in the first world.

So he believes that even without any memory, that man’s soul will remember him. He just somehow believe it. But whether this person is really him, he still needs to make sure...

"I haven’t tried any of the wines that you mentioned, but I’ve tried a wine that taste better than this, and I also know how to brew, do you want to try it?..."

While shaking his head, Gu Bai stretched his arm out and held his hand, his body stuck close to him as he raised his head. The eyes on the delicate face were very bright, causing people to become dazzled and stunned.

The youth’s body is soft and unripe*. Turbulent tides gathered in Ji Zhangyin’s deep and serene eyes. He took a deep breath and couldn’t help but reach out to pinch the other person’s chin. The tone was unspeakably gentle.

*young and inexperienced

"Oh? You can also brew wine? I want to taste it..."

"You can, but you have to tell me your name first! Let’s get to know each other!"

The moment his chin was pinched, the familiar feeling grew deeper. Gu Bai felt a little excited.

"If we don’t get to know each other, I can’t drink it?"

Ji Zhangyin bowed his head and got closer, his breath landed on the youth’s delicate face. His husky voice was unspeakably majestic.

His identity caused his mind to constantly make dark guesses about this youth for approaching him, but it all disappeared in the end when faced with that pair of incomparably pure eyes.

His breath hit Gu Bai’s cheek, causing his fair cheek to redden, but the growing feeling of familiarity made him very excited. This person might really be him.

"Yeah, if you want to drink my brewed wine, you have to tell me your name. My wine is the world’s one and only. You have to follow my requirements if you want to drink it..." He looked at the man in front of him with bright eyes.

Ji Zhangyin heart slightly jumped when he saw Gu Bai’s bright eyes. The hand pinching Gu Bai’s chin couldn’t help but gently rub. His cold eyes became soft and he spoke playfully.

"A kid like you sure talk big. Then tell me, what’s your name?"

"I’m not a kid, I’m already sixteen, my name is..." Gu Bai paused at this point before he continued.

"My name is Gu Bai, the Bai in white*, quickly tell me your name..."

*He’s spelling his name, like A for America, K for korea, etc

If this man is really him, he wants him to call his real name.

"My name is Ji Zhangyin, what about your wine?" Ji Zhangyin pinched Gu Bai’s face and smiled.

He doesn’t know why he has so much patience to accompany this youth today, and he further can’t understand why he’s unable to raise even a little bit of defense against him, he actually told him his real name.

Gu Bai memorized the name that he acquired, and then continued to question him. He was given an inch and want a mile. "The wine isn’t done brewing. Tell me where your family lives? I will send it to you after I’m done brewing it..."

"Are you teasing me?" This way of asking questions made Ji Zhangyin involuntarily raise his eyebrows.

"No, I’m not teasing you. It’s because for the entirety of my life, my wine is only for one person. After searching for a million miles and in a sea of people, I think you are the most suitable!"

Seeing that the other person seems to be a little angry, Gu Bai quickly responded. His azure eyes were filled with a unique kind of purity.

"Then why do you think I’m the most suitable?"

Ji Zhangyin lightly pinched Gu Bai’s cheeks. The phrase ’For the entirety of my life, my wine is only for one person.’ made him inexplicably joyful.

After completing two tasks, Gu Bai can be considered to be a man with extensive experience who has lived for hundreds of years. Furthermore, the other person didn’t conceal his expression, so he instantly saw through Ji Zhangyin’s emotion.

He circled his arms around his neck while that man pinched his chin. This kind of close contact deepened the feeling of familiarity. It could be waiting for the final confirmation.

"You lower your head, I will tell you..."

Gu Bai suddenly smiled at Ji Zhangyin and spoke softly.

That brilliant unprecedent smile was like the most touching spring and the most echanting firework, endlessly blossoming and endlessly beautiful, with eyes that are like clear water, there’s a heart moving charm.

Ji Zhangyin was bewitched by the good looking eyes in front of him and couldn’t restrain himself from lowering his head. Then, in the next moment, he felt those arms wrap around his neck and a soft touch on his lips.

The youth kissed his lips and the slippery and delicate tongue slipped in, sucking and licking. When the tip of their tongues touched, he only felt that his heart seemed to have taken a blow and there was an indescribable sense of sweetness.

This made him raise his hand to stop the guard who wanted to go forward, then he grabbed the youth’s waist and pulled him up. He separated his legs to let him sit on his lap and then stuck out his tongue to entangle it together.

Ji Zhangyin took the initiative to deepen this kiss, and he strongly swirled Gu Bai’s tongue and sucked hard.

The man’s sudden passionate eruption made Gu Bai unable to resist and didn’t want to resist. The trembling in the depths of his soul clearly told him that this Ji Zhangyin is the one, they’ve met again.

He kissed till he was dizzy and his whole body shuddered.

"...Mhm ngh..."

Absent-minded noises came out from Gu Bai. Their lips that are stuck together caused every syllable leaking from his’s lips to become unclear and carry a sweet nasally sound, as if acting spoiled coquettishly.

This kind of charm intensified the kiss. Their lips and tongues are intertwined, tangled up inside and clinging on without letting go.

Kissing until the tip of the tongue became numb and feeling that the youth in his embrace can’t breathe, Ji Zhangyin finally separated with reluctance*. Staring at the string of silver dripping between their lips, his gaze darkened and he asked flatly.

*to wish to continue/to have not fully expressed oneself

"Who are you?"

Gu Bai was gasping and didn’t answer. He smiled brightly as he stared at his dark gaze and determined that Ji Zhangyin is that man. There’s a kind of indescribable joy in his heart.

He felt that his never beating heart was finally going ba-dump ba-dump ba-dump ba-dump.

In his whole life, his heart never once beated, no matter how touching the vicissitudes of life is, he won’t feel the sadness.

Before he came to do the tasks, he had met many people, many of whom were really affectionate, but he couldn’t accept it no matter what. He couldn’t feel the burning heartbeat of liking someone that other people talked about.

All those people said that he’s heartless and cold-hearted. He also reflected if that was really the case. Is he really a person without feelings? Does he really have no heart?

But from the moment he met this person in the first task, everything seems to have changed. This man can make him feel his heart beat and also the indescribable warmth flowing in his heart. The man proved that he does have a heart.

At this exact moment, there was a ruckus in front of the tea house, accompanied by the deafening scream of Fu Tianci’s servant, “Second young master!” Gu Bai came back to his senses, it’s not morning yet but Fu Tianci’s matters already broke out.

So he needs to go back quickly.

Leaving behind a sentence, "When the wine is done brewing, I will come here to wait for you..." Gu Bai leaned over again and kissed that man’s face again, then he skilfully came down from him. The moment his toes touched the ground, he quickly disappeared into the night.

When he left, the guard who already had his eyes wide open for a long time finally went over to that man’s side. He cupped his hands and asked for permission.

"Master, this subordinate will immediately investigate."

"En......"

Ji Zhangyin nodded. Staring at the direction where Gu Bai left, he licked his lips that still had the lingering scent of that youth’s dewy lips. His dark eyes faintly revealed burning flames.
