Striding inside, along the petal-marked path, Zhou Wang carried Ji Xiaoxi all the way into the master bedroom.
The orange light just illuminated the snowy 2.5-meter bed, with pink Luoshen Roses forming the most cliché heart shape on the sheets, yet it seemed so fitting at that moment.
Zhou Wang carefully placed Ji Xiaoxi onto the bed and leaned over to kiss her again.
"Mmm!"
...
Perhaps seven or eight minutes passed, or maybe only a dozen seconds, Zhou Wang immersed in the moment couldn’t sense the passage of time, only dazzled by the crescent-like white.
Previously always in a rush, Zhou Wang had never truly admired Ji Xiaoxi’s beauty.
Until that moment, when Ji Xiaoxi no longer held back, not resisting, Zhou Wang felt astonished.
Ji Xiaoxi spent her life pursuing the Lord’s guidance, and Zhou Wang, at this moment, was also on a pilgrimage.
Just at a certain moment, Ji Xiaoxi gently pushed Zhou Wang.
"What’s wrong?"
Zhou Wang raised his head confused.
"Not right..."
"What’s not right?"
Zhou Wang puzzled, forcibly suppressed the urge to continue, "If you’re still not ready, I can..."
Before Zhou Wang finished speaking, Ji Xiaoxi raised her fingers to block his mouth again, she pulled Zhou Wang a bit, he comprehended and lowered his ears to her lips.
"It feels wrong, I don’t want this."
Ji Xiaoxi first spoke softly, seeing Zhou Wang still didn’t understand, she bit her lip turning her head, speaking in a voice as faint as a mosquito: "You know, I always dream about you..."
"Dream about what?"
"Dream about you at the Hang City Manor, wild, domineering, utterly detestable... yet, I keep having that dream."
Ji Xiaoxi had said enough for Zhou Wang to understand, otherwise he wouldn’t be Zhou Wang.
On this night, Zhou Wang experienced shock for who knows how many times, breathing halting once more.
Originally, he wanted to give Ji Xiaoxi a perfect night, so he had always been cautious, like his previous attitude, as if on a pilgrimage.
But now Ji Xiaoxi told him she didn’t want tenderness.
If she is the Saintess, she wants Zhou Wang to be the desecrating raider.
Yet at this moment Zhou Wang realized that it seemed today’s rhythm was controlled by Ji Xiaoxi, and he certainly wouldn’t fulfill her so easily.
So Zhou Wang stopped, smiled lightly and asked, "You haven’t answered my question in the car before."
Ji Xiaoxi froze for a moment, then remembered, her cheeks burned scarlet, not daring to meet Zhou Wang’s gaze, only softly saying: "Li...like."
"How do you like?"
"I think about it from time to time."
"From time to time?"
"..."
Ji Xiaoxi remained silent.
"Speak!"
Zhou Wang raised an eyebrow, teasing Ji Xiaoxi while prompting her.
"I said, I said it all! I like you, like you to the point of madness, not often, but every day, every single day thinking about it... Please, stop torturing me!"
Listening to Ji Xiaoxi’s scream, the furiously determined Zhou Wang no longer hesitated, accompanied by a "rip" sound, Ji Xiaoxi exclaimed, yet her expression irresistibly shifted to joy.
In the trance, within the halo on the ceiling, Ji Xiaoxi again saw the smiling Holy Mother, only soon, the Holy Mother’s face was replaced by Zhou Wang, the Demon with long horns pierced Ji Xiaoxi’s soul, yet she felt a sense of release never experienced in this lifetime amidst the utmost agony.
"Indulge, just indulge, why not... even if just for one night."
Murmurs were shattered, torn apart, until, hoarse and exhausted.
End me.
...
The shower water turned on and off, the light in the master bedroom remained bright throughout the night, magic kept surging, flowers repeatedly blossoming.
Occasionally in moments of clarity, Zhou Wang also felt a sliver of doubt, because of Ji Xiaoxi’s indulgence.
But those fleeting doubts were ultimately cast away.
None of it mattered anymore.
All he knew was that, this night, Ji Xiaoxi completely belonged to him.
...
Morning, or perhaps noon.
Rippled light passed through the narrow gap of the curtains, illuminating the disarrayed large bed.
Having his eyes pricked by the light, Zhou Wang subconsciously rolled over, wanting to hold something, only to grasp thin air.
His hand groped a few times, confirming no one was beside him, Zhou Wang confusedly opened his eyes.
After a few moments of daze, Zhou Wang suddenly sat up from the bed.
The colorful sheets, loose knots, and the torn clothes under the pillow all reminded him, last night wasn’t his hallucination, even now recalling it, those scenes were so vivid.
Yet only Ji Xiaoxi was nowhere to be found.
She was still hurt, how could she wake up before him?
In all sorts of disbelief, Zhou Wang threw on a robe, got out of bed, first checking the most likely bathroom, only traces of water on the bathroom floor proved Ji Xiaoxi perhaps took a shower here, but still she was nowhere in sight.
Living room, entertainment room, dining room, guest bedroom...
Zhou Wang quickly searched every corner of the room, but as that sudden strong premonition arose in his heart, the large suite had only him left.
Zhou Wang took out his phone to call Ji Xiaoxi.
"Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later..."
Frowning, Zhou Wang tried several times, all with the same result.
Zhou Wang found Ji Xiaoxi’s WeChat, attempted a voice call, but just as he pressed the voice button, a system notification popped up.
"The other party hasn’t added you as a friend, can’t make a voice call"
Zhou Wang pondered for a moment, then called Wu Yanqiu.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou?"
"Yanqiu, has Ji Xiaoxi contacted you?"
"You mean End me?"
Wu Yanqiu paused at the other end of the call, then cautiously answered: "She did tell me last night that she was with you, and after that, we haven’t had any contact... huh?"
"What is it?"
Zhou Wang heard Wu Yanqiu’s exclamation, couldn’t help but ask.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Zhou, Ji Xiaoxi seems to have sent me a letter... Ah, Mr. Zhou, I don’t know what’s happened, but she seems to be terminating her contract with the company..."
"What?"
Zhou Wang paused at the news, about to inquire further, but system notifications in his mind chimed at this moment.
Ding!
