How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

"Hmm, thank you, brother." The tea was nothing special; Ye Yueyue only took one sip and then stopped drinking.

She's craving cola and soft drinks...

Gu Qinghuai's heart stirred, and he took out a bottle of jade dew from his storage ring and handed it over.

"Try this."

As if afraid she would refuse, Gu Qinghuai paused, then said with a smile, "Zuiyue Tower has just opened, please forgive us if there is anything that is not well received."

His tone sounded very sincere.

Is that right, Zun Du?

Ye Yueyue blinked and met those sincere peach blossom eyes, feeling that there was a subtle seduction in that voice.

Why the uncertainty? Because the feeling was even stronger before Xi Tuo arrived.

Whatever, whatever happens, happens.

Don't try to figure out what men are thinking, or you'll get into trouble. You just need to figure out what you want.

You must love yourself first before others will love you.

Xi Tuo frowned, finding the red-clad man beside him irritating no matter how he looked at him. Seeing the man's obsequious actions, alarm bells went off in his mind.

My initial disdain instantly changed.

What does this man want to do?

A sense of revulsion rose within him, his face was shrouded in a thin, icy mist, and his entire being exuded a chilling aura.

Xi Tuo knew he shouldn't speak, but he was inexplicably annoyed, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles in the teahouse, and was extremely resistant to it.

"Moon, it's getting late..."

However, before he could even open his mouth, the man in red opposite him interrupted him with a smile.

"Does this young master have any complaints about Zuiyue Tower? Please tell me so I can have an idea and make some improvements."

Gu Qinghuai smiled, his tone was gentle, and he seemed to have a very good temper.

It seems they genuinely wanted to hear some opinions and consider the future of the teahouse.

Xi Tuo frowned, and the coldness emanating from him intensified.

He had no complaints about the teahouse, but he felt an inexplicable aversion to the man in front of him.

What are you laughing at? Parading around in the street.

"I have no complaints." He didn't even lift his eyelids, his tone indifferent.

Gu Qinghuai nodded thoughtfully, "If there is anything you are not satisfied with, please feel free to speak up."

Xi Tuo choked, feeling a lump in his throat.

Ye Yueyue, who was standing to the side, secretly chuckled.

She looked up, pretending to think, and after swallowing the pastry in her mouth, she said carefully, "It's very good, the storytelling is very interesting... I wonder if there will be any song and dance performances?"

Storytelling is good, but she prefers watching beautiful women and handsome men sing and dance; she loved watching live streams in her past life.

I don't really appreciate this kind of refined taste myself, but I'll still listen to it.

Is it a song and dance performance?

Gu Qinghuai silently recited the idea, pondering its feasibility in his mind. The more he thought about it, the better he felt. He looked around the teahouse, feeling somewhat eager to try it out.

It was just a casual question, but the girl's idea was quite unique.

A storyteller stood on the central stage of the teahouse, with sandalwood staircases on both sides leading to the second floor. Tea tables were placed on both floors, and customers sat scattered around.

Perhaps we could set up the song and dance performances on the third floor?

Gu Qinghuai tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, his expression thoughtful.

"I will give it serious consideration."

"Then I'll look forward to it~" Ye Yueyue said with a smile.

Meeting the girl's bright eyes, Gu Qinghuai paused for a moment. His expression was unreadable, but the curve of his lips deepened.

The story was quickly told to an end.

Reluctantly, everyone got up and left the teahouse.

Xi Tuo also stood up, his expression softening considerably, and naturally put away the food the girl had left behind.

"Let's go."

"Mmm!" Ye Yueyue nodded.

"You two, walk slowly."

Gu Qinghuai smiled and said goodbye, but his eyes were fixed on the girl.

Seeing this, Xi Tuo quickened his pace in packing, and then couldn't wait to leave Zuiyue Tower. As soon as he left Zuiyue Tower, he felt that the air was even more pleasant.

His tense face softened, losing that unapproachable aura.

Ye Yueyue blinked at him, "Brother, are you unhappy?"

The girl's eyes held doubt and confusion.

The moment their eyes met, he was all she saw in her clear eyes.

“…No.” He smiled.

The anxiety that had been building up since the beginning finally subsided at this moment.

Xi Tuo looked at the afterglow of the setting sun and couldn't help but think that if time could slow down a little more.

I hope this road will never end.

The two strolled along the street, the surrounding buildings bathed in the glow of the twilight, creating a scene of breathtaking beauty, much like a poetic painting.

Night fell silently, without anyone noticing.

They gazed at the bright crescent moon in the night sky, and after an unknown amount of time, a cold wind blew by, causing Ye Yueyue to shiver.

Seeing this, Xi Tuo said softly, "It's late, I'll take you back to the inn."

"Okay." The girl smiled.

The two stood up and walked side by side in the pitch-black night.

"Brother, you still haven't said whether the moon is prettier or I am!" The girl walked ahead, her tone accusing.

“You’re good-looking,” Xi Tuo said without hesitation.

Feeling the warmth from his hand, his heart softened even more.

"Who's prettier?!"

"...The moon is beautiful."

"Hmm, I don't want that! I've changed my name now, I'm not called Yue'er anymore."

Xi Tuo paused for a moment, unable to follow her train of thought, and asked with some confusion:

"What's that?"

"Call me baby."

"..."

Xi Tuo was stunned for a moment, and a surge of heat rushed up to him in an instant.

The temperature wasn't high at night, and the occasional breeze carried a hint of coolness, but he felt hot and his palms were sweaty.

"is it okay?"

The girl's clear voice carried a hint of coquetry, with the last syllable drawn out.

His heart skipped a beat.

In the darkness of night, the moonlight poured down like water, illuminating the girl's fair profile. She turned her head and looked at him with expectant eyes.

Xi Tuo lowered his eyes, the intense throbbing in his heart making him want to give everything to the girl in front of him.

……

"Baby."

His voice was always cold, and it sounded even colder in the quiet night. But now it was hoarse and very soft, like a lover's whisper.

"I didn't hear you!"

"……Baby."

"I want more!!"

"Baby."

……

Xi Tuo lost count of how many times he called out, and perhaps this journey would last as long as it took, from initial discomfort to becoming accustomed to it.

It only takes a short walk.

Seeing a faint light ahead, Xi Tuo couldn't tell whether he felt relieved or disappointed.

We arrived at the inn.

"Okay, your baby needs to sleep now."

Looking at his slightly flushed face under the lantern, Ye Yueyue's eyes curved into a smile. She leaned closer, looked up, and met his gaze: "Brother, you should go to sleep early too. Goodnight~"

After she finished speaking, she stood on tiptoe and kissed the man's cheek.

A fleeting touch, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

That light kiss was as gentle as a breeze, and what caught the eye was a blush on the girl's cheek.
