But she wasn't jealous; she's a mature woman now.
Most importantly, she saw Gu Ran's attitude.
Gu Ran put his arm around Su Xiaoqiang's slender waist. Seeing that the elevator was about to arrive, he didn't bother to say anything more to Zhang Zhenqi: "We have things to do, so we won't say any more. Bye!"
As he spoke, he eagerly pulled Su Xiaoqiang into the elevator.
Su Xiaoqiang felt extremely embarrassed. Why was this jerk in such a hurry to get to the room?! What would others think?
There was no one in the elevator except the two of them. Su Xiaoqiang glared at him, then pinched his arm and asked, "Who is she?"
"She's a vixen!" Gu Ran complained, feeling wronged. "It's her! She's always trying to seduce me!"
Su Xiaoqiang pouted: "It takes two to tango. Did you flirt with her?"
"No way! She came to me willingly. The moment we met, she said she wanted to sleep with me. But my chastity is so precious, how could I give it to her!" Gu Ran said with a righteous expression, as if she had a chastity arch hanging above her head.
Su Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "Then...you weren't seduced by her?"
"You want me to be seduced by her?"
"you dare?"
"I dare, but it depends on whether I want her or not." Just then, the elevator arrived at the top-floor suite. Without saying a word, Gu Ran picked up Su Xiaoqiang and said, "But I'm not interested in her."
Su Xiaoqiang leaned against him, paused for a moment, and said with a mix of shyness and pride, "There's no way you wouldn't be interested. I think she's quite pretty, and her figure is no worse than mine. She's practically offering herself up. How could you resist?"
"Yes, it's been tough holding back. Now that you're here, I guess you'll have to suffer a bit more."
As he spoke, Gu Ran carried her into the suite, casually hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, and locked the door from the inside.
Su Xiaoqiang kept her arms around his neck the whole time, trying to see what he was up to.
Gu Ran carried Su Xiaoqiang to the sofa, took off her shoes, and let her sit on his lap, embracing her face to face.
"See, I've granted your wish, so you can hug me comfortably." Gu Ran rested his chin on Su Xiaoqiang's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "I'm good to you, right? You can hug me for as long as you want."
Su Xiaoqiang happily wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, nestled quietly in his embrace. After a while, she rested her chin on his shoulder and gently inhaled his long-lost scent.
"Ran Ran."
"Ok?"
"What am I to you?"
"milk tea?"
"That's too cliché. Try to coax me with a different approach."
"Then...you are my Jade Lion Shining at Night?"
"Night-Shining Jade... a lion? What the hell is that?"
"It was the mount of Zhao Zilong of Changshan."
"So, you are..."
"Yes, I am Zhao Zilong, riding the Jade Lion that shines through the night, charging in and out seven times!"
"You big bad guy, you're being indecent again!"
Su Xiaoqiang drew circles on his back with her finger, and after a while, asked again, "This time... was it really dangerous? Lu Mingfei was wrapped up like a dumpling, and Xia Mi was still..."
Gu Ran put his arm around her slender waist and realized that Xia Mi's death had put pressure on her.
But I can't tell her the truth.
If she knew that the Dragon King was right beside her and was her friend, she might become even more suspicious and paranoid.
After thinking for a moment, he said casually, "That's Lu Mingfei, he's bad at the game but loves to play. I'm a pro player, I'm different from him."
He changed the subject, pinching the soft flesh around Su Xiaoqiang's waist: "You've lost weight! Have you not been eating properly lately? How come there's less fat around your waist than when you went on your summer RV trip?"
"That's because you cook delicious food for me every day and let me sit in the car all the time, so I got fat!" Su Xiaoqiang suddenly realized something, cupped his cheeks, and stared into his eyes.
"Don't change the subject. Look at how strong Senior Brother Chu is, even he's injured like that." Su Xiaoqiang didn't mention Xia Mi again, but changed her request, "Tell me what happened. You only said that a Dragon King was going to come out of the mountains and was defeated by you, but you didn't mention anything about the process. Was it really that dangerous, so you kept it from me?"
"Because there's really nothing to mention," Gu Ran said with a smile. "Lu Mingfei and Senior Brother Chu have already taken care of the dragon-slaying business. I'm just doing nothing outside. Look, Nuonuo, Susie, and Ling are all fine, so it's really not dangerous."
Su Xiaoqiang bit her lip, remained silent, and simply nestled in his arms.
Her knowledge of dragons was limited to stories; she had never seen one in real life, so she had no concept of them.
Because it is unknown, we are afraid.
She was very worried about Gu Ran's safety.
Actually, she really wanted him to drop out of school and stop slaying the dragon.
However, given his background, slaying dragons was his destiny, and he had no way to escape it.
She held Gu Ran's hand even tighter, as if afraid he would suddenly disappear.
Sensing his fiancée's emotional change, Gu Ran gently patted her back, not wanting to discuss too many heavy topics with her.
So he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.
"What are you doing... Ah! You haven't even taken your clothes off!"
As soon as they entered the bathroom, Gu Ran turned on the shower, letting the raindrops fall on them, and they were soaked in no time.
Gu Ran took off her clothes in front of Su Xiaoqiang and said, "Seeing how worried you are, I had no choice but to come in and let you have a physical examination!"
As he spoke, he had already taken off his shirt, revealing his strong, fair-skinned body.
"Look, you don't have any scars, right? Not a single scar!" Gu Ran turned around in front of her.
Then he took off his pants in front of her: "See? The main parts are still there, completely undamaged!"
Su Xiaoqiang's hair was soaked, and her fleece baseball jacket was also soaked with water. She looked at Gu Ran's skin with a mix of amusement and exasperation, and it was indeed completely undamaged.
She said, "There's no need to come to the bathroom to confirm!"
"Mainly, I wanted to take a shower with you." Gu Ran said, starting to take off Su Xiaoqiang's clothes. "Come on, it's my turn to check your physical development. Have you lost weight?"
"Don't make things worse, I'll do it myself!"
Su Xiaoqiang glared at him, then took off her clothes, revealing her fair skin and beautiful figure to Gu Ran.
Unable to resist, Gu Ran pulled her into his arms.
"Gu Ran".
"Ok?"
"kiss Me!"
Gu Ran kissed him passionately.
Hot water flowed over their skin, which was pressed together, and steam rose, slowly filling the entire bathroom.
The sound of raindrops was interspersed with cheerful, loud, and melodious murmurs.
……
Nighttime, in the medical ward.
Lu Mingfei was already asleep, seemingly pleased that so many people had come to see him today.
He then paid a quarter of his life to discreetly kill the person who had released the Word of Power: Shiva's Night Dance, a trivial matter that Lu Mingfei quickly forgot about.
In his view, Senior Brother Sha Pi was so good to him, and Tu Long also brought him to the capital to enhance his resume. It was only right for him to give up a quarter of his life to help him, and he didn't expect Senior Brother Chu to give him any reward.
Just like when he rescued Nuonuo at the Three Gorges Dam at the beginning of the year.
Chu Zihang didn't sleep. As usual, he recalled his memories of his father, and then began to recall another person.
Xia Mi.
Before Jormungandr died, he said that she had deleted many of his memories of Xia Mi, but some of them had recently been restored.
So he began to recall.
He remembered the cheerleader in the purple skirt and white high-heeled boots. She had a high ponytail and bright eyes. Every time he participated in a basketball game, she would be in the front row, cheering him on.
Later, they went on a date to the aquarium, sat under the shade of a sycamore tree, and went to the cinema together.
They've been to many other places: Ferris wheel, library, basketball court... It turns out they've been to all three of the most popular dating spots. Perhaps their footprints can be found in every corner of that coastal city.
So, in the Nibelungen metro, is the soft, playful person clinging to his back Xia Mi or Jormungandr?
Who was the person who said he wanted to meet him in the Sabaody Archipelago?
Whose heart did he plunge that folding knife into?
Who was it that finally gave him the house key?
For a moment, he couldn't tell who was who between Jormungandr and Xia Mi, both living in the same body.
Or perhaps they are the same person with two different personalities?
He thought about this problem for a long time, and finally he felt relieved.
It doesn't matter who is who between the two of them. There was once someone named Xia Mi or Jormungandr who crossed paths with me, so she existed. Her identity is irrelevant.
The scenes in the memories are all real, and he was truly involved in them. Some memories are still hazy, and perhaps she has deleted even more memories.
What a naughty, bad kid.
However, he had no way to verify this conclusion.
Because Jormungandr denied being Xia Mi even in her dying moments, she stubbornly insisted that she was Jormungandr and denied the past she had shared with Chu Zihang.
It was as if it were just an illusion.
That was brilliant.
He then remembered the same dream he had been having for the past two days.
In his dream, he was sailing a small boat, drifting on the rain-soaked water. Xia Mi stood gracefully on the bridge, holding a yellow paper umbrella. The thick fog obscured the world, and they only had eyes for each other.
I wonder if Xia Mi will jump off the bridge and land on that swaying flatboat.
Unbeknownst to him, something inexplicable and mysterious had entered his heart. It was as if a door had appeared in the new house, and by opening that door, he could gain even more.
For example, power and authority.
