After kissing, Yan Luqing felt clear and refreshed, happy to the point of directly taking off, and in the end she fiercely flaunted it back in her dream.

“My wife is not better-looking than yours?”

She remembered just now, facing the arrogant Qi Yanchuan, fixing her eyes on him, and saying: “What is there for you this pine tree to be proud of?”

She retorted viciously: “So what if your wife has a rose special effect? Isn’t she still inferior to my wife who is pure natural without filter.”

Then toward the male and female leads in that movie she said: “You two are truly ridiculous, I don’t even know you, yet you two still come running into my dream every day to kiss kiss kiss, from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed. Don’t tell me in reality there’s something between you that hasn’t been made public??”

……

She ridiculed happily in her dream, and did not know when these scenes disappeared; anyway, in the end she in a stretch of darkness, with a delighted mood, sank into slumber.

Such good mood continued until she suddenly awoke. Yan Luqing felt as if her whole person was about to float up.

Yet with her eyes opening, memory reviving, all the scenes replaying in her mind, these floating feelings of good mood all “crashed” into pieces with a sound.

Especially recalling that instant when she pulled Gu Ci down and smacked a kiss onto his face.

At first she was muddled, as if she had seen Gu Ci in her dream, and should not really have woken up.

But Yan Luqing seemed also to have a distinct bodily memory—she felt that she indeed used her lips to touch someone’s soft skin, slippery, cool—and at that time she had brought Gu Ci to the attic, with no one around, so it could only be him.

“…………”

She, kissed, Gu Ci.

She, said, wife.

This was already no longer a problem of curling her toes out the Forbidden City and leaving this planet.

At this very moment, Yan Luqing from the depths of her heart hated this body.

Since you are prone to getting drunk, can you not also have blackouts?

After being drunk, to forget everything, is that not fragrant? Why must you remember so clearly the ugliness after drunkenness—what is the point???

Yan Luqing called out to Makka Pakka: “Do you have some kind of medicine that can let me lose memory……”

Makka Pakka had been completely blocked yesterday, but had already gained a certain understanding of her. This must be something unspeakable done after drinking.

“But Maria, even if I have medicine……” Makka Pakka was puzzled, “Then why not let Gu Ci lose memory? Would it be useful for you to lose memory?”

“You still dare to say it!” Yan Luqing hated iron for not becoming steel, “All the things in your family are blocked by him, would the medicine you produce still be effective on him?”

“……”

No one could be relied on. Yan Luqing, extremely depressed, sat up. It was only then she noticed that she was actually not in the attic, but in the bedroom on the second floor.

Presumably Gu Ci had carried her back.

His various actions toward her, in a certain sense, could also be considered “doing a good deed a day”—picking up after school, picking up after drunkenness, covering eating, playing, accompanying talking, even delivery-to-bed service—he could simply be called a great philanthropist.

Yan Luqing struggled in her heart for a long while, but in the end could not resist her stomach being too hungry, and still went downstairs.

——Anyway, if worst came to worst, she still had the shield of “drank too much.”

In the dining room on the first floor.

When Yan Luqing arrived, Big and Little Black, Disney Auntie, and Gu Ci, were all actually there.

As soon as she saw Gu Ci, Yan Luqing first halted her steps sharply as if braking, then shifted her gaze away, walking to the table pretending nothing had happened, looking at the three people standing nearby.

Big Black and Little Black were both, in unison, holding cups. Disney Auntie explained: “They said they had headaches, so I gave them hangover tea—you have one too, here.”

Following her pointing direction, Yan Luqing saw there was also a cup placed by her hand.

So she smiled: “Thank you, Auntie.”

When Yan Luqing lifted the cup to drink the tea, she once again directly met Gu Ci’s gaze.

He did not look like someone who had just woken up. Though his eyes were slightly narrowed, when he focused on looking at someone, they were especially bright.

After looking into his eyes for a few seconds, Yan Luqing’s gaze unconsciously shifted downward, fixed on his right cheek.

At such close distance, that feeling was even clearer.

She could almost be certain she had not remembered wrong—she indeed had kissed him.

She even remembered at that time the sound was not small; to say it was a “kiss” was one thing, but in truth it had simply been the kind of noise only made if one smacked a sip.

The more Yan Luqing thought, the more her scalp tingled. She could never see through Gu Ci’s gaze. Thinking that this matter could never be avoided anyway, Yan Luqing simply put down her cup and took the initiative to speak.

“This tea truly came just in time……” Yan Luqing looked again toward Disney Auntie, but deliberately raised her voice slightly louder, “I drank too much last night. After waking up I completely don’t remember what I did, and my head especially hurts.”

“Then quickly drink it. If after drinking your headache doesn’t get better, then eat some medicine.”

Yan Luqing nodded: “Mm-hm.”

When she withdrew her gaze, Gu Ci was still looking this way. Compared with just now, the corners of his lips had hooked into a faint smile.

Her volume just then—Gu Ci had absolutely heard it. Yan Luqing, facing the setback head-on, adjusted her tone and directly said to Gu Ci: “I drank too much last night. In the end did I take you to see the gift? If not, then tonight we’ll have to go see it again.”

——I don’t remember anything. Whatever happened has nothing to do with me.

This meaning she ought to have made perfectly clear.

After a while, Gu Ci said: “I saw it.”

Then he added: “The key to that room, can it temporarily be entrusted to me for safekeeping?”

“……”

Yan Luqing was stunned for a moment, then reacted that what he referred to was last night’s room, and nodded: “Yes.”

Anyway, that had originally been repurposed in order to give to him.

He was accepting her statement, right?

Right, right, right?

Yan Luqing happily lowered her head to begin eating breakfast. After a while, suddenly by her ear came Little Black’s voice.

“Did you receive Miss Yan’s gift last night?” he asked Gu Ci, scratching his head as he spoke, “I think I collapsed from drinking very early, so I didn’t see it… Before, Miss Yan also wouldn’t let me ask her what gift she had prepared. Now that the birthday has passed, may I ask, what gift did you receive?”

“Your Miss Yan took me to the attic,” Gu Ci slowly said, “we……”

He seemed very patient in answering Little Black’s doubts.

But Yan Luqing was not.

Every word he spoke made Yan Luqing’s heart jump in fright. The blackout persona she had established absolutely could not collapse, and most crucially—last night’s matter must never be known by Little Black!!

Thus Yan Luqing immediately cut off Gu Ci’s words, lifted her head, and called out once, “Little Black.”

Little Black turned his head in a silly manner. Yan Luqing looked straight at him, smiling: “Let me teach you a principle of life today.”

“?” Although puzzled, but who would dare refute? Little Black said, “Alright!”

“For a qualified bodyguard, if you want not to have your wages docked, want to keep your job, want to live well, then you must keep in mind one thing——”

Yan Luqing paused for a moment, then spoke word by word:

“The affairs of the head of the family—you should meddle less.”

“……….”

After that the dining room again returned to silence. Little Black lowered his head, saying nothing, while Gu Ci looked as though he was playing with his phone.

Only after Yan Luqing finished breakfast and left, did Little Black suddenly hear a low laugh beside him.

Turning his head, he saw Gu Ci’s eyes were bent much more than before, the corners of his lips raised, the whole person appearing to be in a very good mood.

Clearly just now, when Miss Yan was here, he had not been like this.

Little Black was still puzzled when Gu Ci suddenly turned his gaze toward him.

“You really want to know?”

Little Black was stunned, then quickly nodded: “Mm! I want to!”

“Since the head of the family doesn’t allow me to say, of course I can’t tell you the specifics……”

“But——” Gu Ci propped his right cheek with one hand, fingertips repeatedly tapping a certain spot on his face, as if savoring something, and said to him, “It really was a very good gift.”

Little Black: “…………”

He barely maintained the composure a bodyguard ought to have, face expressionless as he exited the dining room.

But once outside, he could not control himself from clenching his fists——

One says it must absolutely not be told, the other still comes to whet his appetite!

You two really are a well-matched pair, aren’t you!!!

Yan Luqing had not woken up late enough, and it being Sunday, there was no school—this meant she had to spend the entire day in the company of Gu Ci.

Although during breakfast she had already laid the groundwork that she remembered nothing, yet……

No matter where she went, no matter what Gu Ci said or did, as soon as Yan Luqing saw him, in her mind there would automatically emerge large characters——

I KISSED HIM!
