Her lips were unbelievably soft, and he originally intended just a brief taste, but it quickly spiraled out of control.
Gu Jiao was awakened by his kiss, letting out a soft, confused hum.
The most deadly allure is unintentional; he almost surrendered to her murmurs.
He restrained himself and released her, his chest heaving violently, breath short. If it weren’t for the dim light in the sleeping pod, and if Gu Jiao weren’t so intoxicated, she might have noticed his slightly flushed face.
Gu Jiao gazed at the handsome face close to her, her eyes dreamy, lifting her slender fingers to pinch his flushed cheek, drunkenly mumbling, "Huh? How can I still dream of this?"
She pinched, pinched, and pinched again.
He allowed her little hand to wreak havoc on his face, gradually regaining his composure.
She was drunk; he really shouldn’t take advantage of her at this moment.
He intended to lie back down but unexpectedly, Gu Jiao grabbed his collar, looking fiercely at him.
For a moment, he didn’t know what she intended, so he just let her hold on.
She was so drunk, she should be asleep, yet she kept her eyes wide open, looking at him seriously, as if distinguishing his authenticity.
"No... not a dream..." she said in surprise, "Did you... steal a kiss from me?"
He responded calmly, "This is my sleeping pod; you crawled in yourself."
Gu Jiao blinked; the effect of alcohol was still there, her mind buzzing, she temporarily didn’t notice the flaw in the logic.
Wait, something still wasn’t right.
She said seriously, "There isn’t just one sleeping pod."
He replied, "I have a habit of recognizing beds."
The inexperienced Gu Jiao was successfully led astray by him: "So... maybe it was my fault. Did... did I make the first move just now..."
He pretended to be calm as he looked at her, "You said you liked me, then jumped into my sleeping pod. What do you think?"
Gu Jiao lowered her gaze, her grip on his collar reduced to four tiny fingers, just pinching lightly, filled with guilt.
A moment later, she closed her eyes, "I’m asleep!"
The Father: "..."
The Father looked at her pretending-to-sleep face, his gaze meticulously tracing her features, finally resting on her swollen lips from his kiss.
After all, he couldn’t resist and pressed down on her again for a fierce kiss.
Gu Jiao looked at him with teary eyes, "This time, I didn’t make the first move."
He lowered his head, gently kissing the corner of her lips, his voice hoarse, "It was me... Are you sober now?"
Gu Jiao nodded.
He propped himself over her with both hands, gazing deeply at her. Suddenly, he opened the sleeping pod and picked her up.
Gu Jiao pouted, "After all that kissing, you’re putting me back..."
As they passed by her sleeping pod, he didn’t stop.
Gu Jiao was stunned.
He carried her out of the medical cabin, walked all the way to the second floor of the villa into her room, and dominantly confined her onto the soft bedchamber.
The unique youthful fragrance belonging only to her lingered at the tip of his nose. He could feel the rush of blood, even his usually calm, indifferent heart was beating twice as fast.
Gu Jiao was no better off, staring blankly as his cold and stern brows were tinged with a touch of desire, a bead of sweat sliding down his forehead, his exquisite Adam’s apple moving.
Gu Jiao felt herself getting drunk again.
The moonlight that night was exceptionally beautiful.
But she felt he was even better than the moonlight.
In a daze, she heard him say, "When you graduate, I’ll take you away from the organization."
She remembered agreeing, saying they would go together.
Unfortunately, that day never came.
...
In the pitch-black secret room, Gu Jiao lay on the cold surgery table, injected with drugs and neurotoxins, the neurotoxins were to control her berserk state, while the drugs were gradually erasing her memory.
The monitor next to her lit up with a red light.
A man in surgical attire glanced at the data on the monitor and said, "That’s the maximum dose, any more and she’ll become a fool."
Beside him, another doctor in surgical attire paused, "The last vial."
"No, the risk is too great, she’s still useful to the organization; the top hasn’t ordered her to be discarded."
"Then half a vial."
The last half vial was administered, and Gu Jiao completely passed out.
...
Another September came, Gu Jiao, Xiao Hen, Long Yi, and Chang Jing traversed the ice field heading to Darknight Island.
This year’s ice field seemed to have turned cold earlier than usual. On their way, they unexpectedly encountered a blizzard, causing the young couple to be separated from Long Yi and Chang Jing.
Strangely enough, despite the massive snowstorm, Xiao Hen managed to direct the direwolves to find the correct path.
And during these times, he always exuded an aura colder than even those above the court.
The two reached Darknight Island first, and two days later, Chang Jing and Long Yi joined them.
Gu Jiao was very surprised, "Chang Jing and Long Yi are both from Darknight Island, raised among direwolves, yet you got here faster than them."
Praised by his wife, Xiao Hen was extremely pleased, but soon, his delight vanished.
Because Gu Jiao went to see that man again!
He knew too well, whatever about accompanying Long Yi back, accompanying Chang Jing to visit family, it was all just an excuse!
