As if detecting something, the two people in the alley paused.

Xiao Ba moved back slightly and looked over.

There was nobody outside the alley. Only the distant moving crowd was noisy.

However, this place was very discreet, and nobody came over.

“There seemed to be someone here…” Her voice was very light as if it had accidentally slipped out of her mouth with a few hints of flirtatiousness.

That pair of charming eyes seemed to be stained with blurred water.

But though she said that, she didn’t seem fearful as her waist still leaned against the man beside her.

Yan Qing looked down at her.

Her long lashes curled slightly, and her cheeks were red. Her loose strands of hair were messy as they flowed with the wind and lightly stuck to her soft red lips.

The intricate colors intertwined, and it was if they were silently seducing him.

His eyes were gloomy.

In actual fact, he had noticed that commotion earlier than Xiao Ba, so he quickly reacted and knew who those two auras belonged to. Still—
“There’s no one,” said Yan Qing softly.

Xiao Ba looked up at him.

Even though they were officially getting married the next day, she did not feel that it was real. Besides, she had to be busy with many matters and barely even met Yan Qing recently.

At this point, the two of them finally had some spare time.

The gigantic Fantasy Divine Palace was very crowded, and dazzling fireworks bloomed in the sky. Nobody would notice such a small alley or even imagine that the two people who were getting married the next day would be hiding in such an isolated and quiet corner to silently hug and kiss each other.

The bustling crowd and the iridescent lights were nearby, but this place seemed isolated from the rest. There were only the two of them.

Such a feeling… was very mysterious with an inexplicable happiness.

She blinked lightly. “Really?”

In actual fact, from the beginning till now, she focused on the person before her and didn’t have the energy to care about the rest.

Since Yan Qing said that, she believed him without much thinking. Hence, without waiting for Yan Qing’s reply, she continued, “It’s fine even if there’s someone.”

She hooked Yan Qing’s neck, nestled in his arm, and lightly caressed him with a soft voice.

Anyway, he’s mine. Besides—

“Won’t all of this be legitimate after tomorrow?” she said delightedly.

“No.” Yan Qing’s voice sounded, which made Xiao Ba stunned.

She widened her eyes slightly. “What?”

Yan Qing pressed his lips against each other tightly and said after a while, “This… has been natural since that day.”

It was such a short sentence, but he said it with much effort.

“You’re my fiancé.”

Xiao Ba blinked and later realized. Yan Qing means that… hugging and kissing were originally my right as his fiancé? So—

“But I’m not tomorrow.” Xiao Ba wanted to tease him. Leaning in closer, she stared into his eyes and asked seemingly innocently, “Coincidentally, I wanted to ask you something, Left Divine General. After I become your wife, will there be any more changes? Is there anything that I can do more legitimately?”

Yan Qing was dazed for a moment. These two identities are naturally different, but they are all her—

Following this, Xiao Ba asked lightly, “Previously, you refused to tell me whatever you were thinking of. Then… can I know tomorrow?”

They were very close to each other, and her breathing landed in his ears.

The pair of watery eyes revealed her intentions. They were like invisible hooks that easily trapped him.

Yan Qing instantly understood.

He placed his hand on her waist, and it instantly became warm. At that moment, there seemed to be fire burning.

That day, Xiao Ba went back and thought about it repeatedly. She felt that she had the lower hand. Hence, to salvage herself, she privately kept teasing Yan Qing.

On the other hand, Yan Qing had never done anything more outrageous. Most of the time, he recovered his usual cold and restraint self.

The more he acted that way, the more Xiao Ba wanted to tease him—until now. In such a situation, she directly said those words.

Yan Qing tilted his head, his throat dry. “Let’s talk about tomorrow’s matters tomorrow.”

His voice was very low, and one could hear the tenseness in it.

Xiao Ba looked at him. Then, her red lips slowly curled up into a smile with bad intentions.

She hooked his neck and leaned toward his ears. When she spoke, her soft lips parted lightly and gently caressed his earlobe.

However, Yan Qing could no longer focus here.

He heard her voice with laughter. “Then… do you need a preview of it?”

…

Zi Chen’s actions were very fast. After he realized that the two were Xiao Ba and Yan Qing, he dragged Tuan Zi away without hesitation.

Tuan Zi was obedient for once and was motionless as she allowed him to drag her away.

It was only until the two of them turned into a rather empty corner that Zi Chen stopped in his tracks.

After confirming that they were a distance away and nobody was around to disturb them, Zi Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“…Zi Chen.” Tuan Zi’s tiny voice sounded. “Can you let go of me?”

Zi Chen was dazed and realized their situation.

Previously, they left in a hurry. Just like before, he directly brought her into his arms.

His arm now held her waist, and his other arm was on her face, blocking her eyes.

At this point, he finally recovered his senses and realized that the tiny person in his arms was indeed different from before. They were equally soft but… still different.

When Tuan Zi spoke, she seemed to blink. The thick and curly lashes seemed like a small brush that lightly swept against Zi Chen’s palm.

Itchy.

Zi Chen immediately let go, taking a step back simultaneously and closing their gaps.

After calming down, he said, “We can also return to the Fantasy Divine Hall from here. Let’s go.”

However, Tuan Zi didn’t seem to react. Instead, she turned around in a daze.

Zi Chen took a few steps out and realized that she did not follow. Thus, he turned around to look.

Tuan Zi stood rooted to the ground, her face flushed red. Her circular and clear eyes sparkled with a hint of confusion and shyness. “Zi Chen, just now… Was it Sister Xiao Ba and Brother Yan Qing?”

She asked this carefully, but her tone was affirmative.

Zi Chen rubbed his brows helplessly. She did see them. Xiao Ba is fine, yet Yan Qing still gave into her. If there was nobody else—

But upon deeper thought, the two were about to get married the next day. There was nothing wrong.

Besides, Tuan Zi originally ran over first and accidentally bumped into them.

He became anxious for some reason and finally lightly acknowledged it.

Actually, it wasn’t that Tuan Zi had not seen such a scene previously. After all, she had been picked up and thrown out by Rong Xiu more than once.

However, it was different now. Tuan Zi was older, so her view and knowledge were different from before.

As expected, Tuan Zi almost instinctively walked over. Her lively face was filled with unconcealable curiosity.

She stretched out two fingers and lightly placed them against each other. It was the first time she had such inquisitive thoughts. “T-then, Zi Chen, how does it feel? It seems that Sister Xiao Ba and Brother Yan Qing really seem to like it!”

Zi Chen’s eyelids twitched harshly.
