The little rabbit is obedient and is forcibly embraced by the villain

Qi Chen was keenly aware of the coolness of the night. He stretched out his arms, put his arms around Bai Zitu's slender waist, and with a little force, brought her into his arms.

This set of movements was natural and smooth, as if he had done it thousands of times before.

The strong smell of ambergris came along with the body temperature. Bai Zitu looked up subconsciously, but only saw the man's cold jawline.

Then, she heard Qi Chen speak, his voice as light as water: "When I was very young, I didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes every day. Every year on my birthday, I made a wish, hoping that one day my father would see me, and that my nanny and I would have enough to eat and wear warm clothes."

He lowered his head slightly and gently rested it on Bai Zitu's head. His movements were intimate and natural, but he did not look at her. His gaze was looking towards the direction of the imperial city.

"Later... later I went to Youyan and saw many people displaced and living in poverty. Only then did I realize that there were so many people in the world like me, homeless. From that time on, I was determined to make sure that no one in the world was left without clothes or food, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and create a prosperous era."

Then he let out a long, drawn-out breath, "It took me fifteen years to do this. This is my twentieth birthday present to myself."

His tone was calm and soothing, without any trace of ecstasy or complacency, but only the relief that came from having experienced so many things.

A breeze blew by, and Bai Zitu subconsciously shrank a little tighter in his arms.

The moonlight shone on him, making him look extremely cold. The sharp edges that were exposed during the day seemed to be smoothed out by the moonlight.

Bai Zitu was in a confused mood.

She felt that the man next to her was more like a lonely traveler who had finally crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and completed an extremely difficult mission. Now he was left with only a heart full of tiredness and relief.

Bai Zitu snuggled quietly in Qi Chen's arms, feeling the strong heartbeat coming from him.

Suddenly, an uncontrollable heartache welled up in her heart. It turned out that there really was someone who, because of the hardships he had suffered in childhood, took it as his responsibility to save the people of the world. He spent his entire life working hard and fighting, just to ensure that no one else in the world would be like him.

Bai Zitu was thinking in a mess, his eyes were slightly red, and his hands unconsciously grasped the corner of Qi Chen's clothes tightly.

She wanted to comfort the people around her, but all the words lingered in her mind and eventually dissipated in her heart.

A man as proud as him doesn't need anyone's pity.

Her rosy lips parted slightly: "Qi Chen, it's all over."

Qi Chen hugged the girl beside him tightly, as if relieved, "It's all over."

Sensing the man's inner emotions, she seemed to have thought of something. She took out a pink purse from her bosom and handed it to Qi Chen with a little hesitation: "Birthday gift."

The system voice was shocked: [Host, this is not the one you redeemed from the store! ! ]

Bai Zitu raised his head proudly: "Yes, how did you know I embroidered it myself?"

System: [Wow, your chick embroidery is really beautiful!]

Bai Zitu was furious: "That's a mandarin duck! Mandarin duck!!"

On the pink purse, two birds were embroidered crookedly. They should have been mandarin ducks, a symbol of beautiful love, but due to unfamiliar needlework and crude lines, they had been embroidered into two strange-looking bright yellow chicks.

Qi Chen saw the pink purse tightly grasped by Bai Zitu's tiny hands. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and a warmth welled up in his heart. A feeling of satisfaction spread from the depths of his heart, like a trickle of water, slowly filling his broken life.

He thought that everything he had experienced in the first half of his life must have been a prelude to meeting the girl in front of him.

If all the hardships he endured were just to meet her, then he felt that these hardships must not be enough, otherwise why would he still have the illusion of worrying about gains and losses.

Bai Zitu felt a tightness in his heart when he saw that Qi Chen didn't respond for a long time and just stared at the purse blankly.

She bit her lower lip subconsciously, feeling uneasy.

Is her embroidery really that bad?

This was the first time she picked up needle and thread, and she secretly sacrificed several lazy mornings to embroider it.

In order to prevent him from finding out, she hid under the quilt every day to embroider purses, and her eyes were almost damaged.

The big boss actually doesn’t like it!!

As soon as this thought came to her mind, all her joy and expectations were shattered.

She stammered, "If you don't like it, forget it..."

She silently put the pink purse back...

If she had known earlier, she would have taken the purse she exchanged from the store.

The next moment, a slender and powerful palm firmly covered her tender white little hand. Qi Chen exerted a little force and put the pink purse into his palm.

Qi Chen bent his fingers slightly and gently stroked the rough stitches on the purse. The rough touch passed through his fingertips, but he felt it was even better than the finest silk.

The corners of his lips curled up, and in an instant even the bright moon in the sky dimmed a little.

Then the gentle voice blew into Bai Zitu's ears along with the spring breeze, making her feel tingling and numb. "Wanwan, I like it very much."

So gentle, so...

Affectionate.

Bai Zitu's heart suddenly stopped. He looked up at Qi Chen, but fell straight into his eyes.

The pair of eyes that used to be filled with darkness and thick blackness were now dispelled by a green figure, and then there was a different glow in those eyes, which was even brighter than the bright moon.

Right at the top of this mountain, the surroundings are quiet and beautiful, with only the sound of the breeze blowing gently.

Qi Chen stroked the girl's cheek and stared seriously into Bai Zitu's eyes, "Wanwan, be my queen."

Perhaps the atmosphere was too wonderful, Bai Zitu couldn't bear to refuse. She looked into those serious and focused eyes and nodded subconsciously.

Then, she saw those narrow eyes widen, and the stars in the sky fell into his eyes, shining brightly.

The system voice sounded: [Congratulations, host! Favorability has reached 100%.]

-

Bai Zitu escaped right under Qi Chen's nose.

Just as Qi Chen was taking Bai Zitu down the mountain, Qi Chen keenly noticed several strange auras around him.

Qi Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he remained calm. However, he turned quietly and protected Bai Zitu behind him.

He had already made a plan in his mind. Although Grand Tutor Yu and the King of Qi had been defeated, their remaining followers would certainly not give up their evil intentions. In order to eliminate future troubles and prevent these remnants from returning to the mountains and causing trouble again in the future, he had to uproot them and wipe them out completely as quickly as possible.

This is also the reason why he brought Bai Zitu out of the palace tonight. First, he really wanted to take Bai Zitu out for a walk; second, he wanted to take this opportunity to lure the remnants in the dark to show up.

If he were to let his guard down even a little and step out of the palace, those remaining followers who were watching his every move like a ghost would mistakenly think they had an opportunity. In their eyes, tonight was undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to assassinate Qi Chen and turn the tide.

However, he didn't expect that all this was part of Qi Chen's plan. He used himself as bait to lure the snake out of its hole and then catch it in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, he released a flare into the air.

Then, he stretched out his long arms, embraced Bai Zitu's slender waist, tapped the ground with his toes, and easily jumped onto a tall tree with lush branches. He put the person down and hid Bai Zitu under the crisscrossing branches of the tree.

Bai Zitu grabbed Qi Chen's collar with some fear, his almond-shaped eyes filled with fear, and subconsciously sought comfort, "Qi Chen..."

Too high!!

She is afraid of heights!

He lifted the windblown hair beside Bai Zitu's cheek in a soothing manner, then kissed her on the lips and earnestly instructed: "Wait for me here."

After saying this, he turned around and instantly disappeared among the dense branches and leaves.

Seeing the big boss disappear, Bai Zitu quickly said, "Quick, quick, let my stand-in come out! I'm going to run away!"
