I think my luck is turning around.

An Ge laughed, taking a half-step back as she mocked herself for her ridiculous behavior and thoughts.

But when she took that half step back, she stepped on someone. An Ge looked up from the foot.

This is inside the Ji residence, so everyone here is from the Ji family.

An Ge looked up at the person. She looked at the familiar face in front of her, but An Ge seemed to have forgotten who it was.

"Wow! Handsome guy! Ji Xia, the handsome guy in your manor is so good-looking, why don't you introduce him?"

As An Ge spoke, she walked towards Ji Xixi. It wasn't some kind of defensive mechanism; she was just cowardly. She spoke arrogantly, but her actual behavior was timid and submissive.

Ji Xia looked at the person in front of her, whom she didn't recognize. Her gaze immediately turned cold, and she looked at the butler beside her, telling him to deal with this person quickly.

That person's gaze was naked, direct, and blatantly fixed on An Ge. An Ge took another sip of her drink, no longer glancing at the scene unfolding around her.

"A disciple of Ye Fenglai from the Near Heaven Sect."

Once he explained his background, Ji Xia became less wary and simply asked him, "Is there something you need?"

"No, I just came to see her."

His gaze fell on An Ge again. How could Ji Xia not understand the situation? He was unwilling to explain it clearly, but simply asked this disciple of Ye Fenglai to sit down and have a drink together.

At this moment, An Ge was holding Ji Xixi tightly. Both of them were in a drunken and unrestrained state, and they were holding each other very tightly!

The man tightened his grip on the wine glass, trying to control his jealousy and his feelings of affection.

How did you and An Ge meet?

"In my dream, she... saved me on her way to the Near Heaven Sect."

Lin Jingqing did want to say it, but An Ge wouldn't admit to what happened in the dream! It was in that room that she saved herself.

But how could Ji Xia simply believe that? She looked at Lin Jingqing with a suspicious gaze, which made Lin Jingqing feel uneasy.

"To be honest, how did we meet?"

"We did meet, fall in love, and get to know each other in my dreams. Those were the happiest times of my life, but she just won't admit it."

If she doesn't want to admit it now, then so be it! As long as she's alright, I'm at ease. I ask for nothing more.

Ji Xia gave a thoughtful "oh," but the two people next to her were not at ease and were about to kiss each other again.

Ji Xia reacted quickly, covering Ji Xixi's mouth, which brought Ji Xixi back to her senses.

"Ji Xia! What are you doing?"

"That's enough! This isn't a yuri story, you..."

"What's wrong with kissing? It's just an expression of our emotions, nothing more, it's just a kiss."

As she spoke, Ji Xixi smacked Ji Ran on the face. Ji Xia was furious and pulled Ji Xixi away. He didn't know the impact of such behavior on Ji Ran. At least in this era, Ji Xia should never teach Ji Ran like that.

Instead of being hugged, An Ge sat quietly. Lin Jingqing tilted his head and looked at An Ge curiously, thinking to himself, "So this is what you're like when you're drunk!"

An Ge turned to look at him, and she seemed to recognize those eyes. She murmured softly, "Lin Jingqing?"

Ji Xixi was still struggling beside her, while An Ge curiously leaned closer and looked intently at the person in front of her, this familiar person.

You look so familiar!

"You look familiar? Can you take another look? Who am I?"

An Ge shook her head. "I can't say. Be careful, the walls may have ears."

An Ge's voice was very soft, but her extremely serious expression really touched Lin Jingqing's heart.

His previously serious expression had now turned into a smile.

Ji Xia over here can also see it clearly; this is An Ge's CP!

Lin Jingqing raised his hand and then lowered it. He didn't know where he was, and he dared not make any rash moves.

An Ge stood up and walked to Lin Jingqing. At this moment, Ji Xia was watching with great interest and quickly cleaned up the scene, because the plot might be unsuitable for children when it came down! Here, "children" mainly refers to Ji Ran.

"Uncle Wang! Take Ji Ran away quickly, she needs to rest. I'll handle Ji Xixi."

Ji Xia's orders had to be obeyed, of course. Ji Ran was taken away by the maids, but Ji Xixi was in a bit of a predicament, since she was still clamoring to watch the show and to give him a kiss!

"Hey! Why aren't you kissing?"

But An Ge completely ignored her, staring at Lin Jingqing as she stood there.

Ji Xixi was essentially thrown out by Ji Xia, but she seemed unwilling to accept it and tried to rush back in. If she hadn't been held back, she would have actually broken down the door.

Ji Xia looked at the unconscious An Ge and the sober Lin Jingqing, and told him that the Ji family had arranged accommodation for An Ge.

“Bring her here.”

Lin Jingqing glanced at Ji Xia, then looked at the person in front of her. So close, she didn't want to leave this area.

An Ge gently stroked Lin Jingqing's cheek with her hand, her thumb lightly caressing his face as she spoke.

"The ghost lingers."

After An Ge finished speaking, she picked up the wine on the table again and drank another glass. To be honest, there was no way to stop her.

"Alright! Alright! Let's get her to sleep first!"

As Ji Xia was saying this, she tried to pull An Ge away again, but Lin Jingqing was wary, so Ji Xia didn't try and let him do it himself.

Without saying a word, Lin Jingqing grabbed An Ge's hand, preparing to give her a princess carry, but An Ge wouldn't cooperate at all.

Lin Jingqing's idea was never put into practice. Looking at the person in front of him, he was making a choice: to be scolded by An Ge after she woke up, or to let go himself.

Without further hesitation, Lin Jingqing embraced the person in front of him tightly. At this moment, he felt content. This is good enough!

Ji Xia stood to the side, really not wanting to be fed this dog food!

An Ge responded, even standing on tiptoe; she thoroughly enjoyed the hug!

Lin Jingqing whispered in An Ge's ear, "You should rest."

But An Ge's grip tightened even more, like a sloth clinging to a tree. Lin Jingqing dared not make any movements, but Ji Xia, standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer.

Are you coming or not?

Lin Jingqing glanced over there, then looked at the situation in front of him. Lin Jingqing picked up An Ge, which wasn't too difficult. Just like that, An Ge clung to Lin Jingqing like a sloth.

An Ge buried her head in Lin Jingqing's neck, and with each breath, An Ge's breath filled Lin Jingqing's heart.

Lin Jingqing was naturally trying his best to restrain himself, but An Ge was very unruly. An Ge pressed his lips to Lin Jingqing's neck, gently touching and kissing him.

Lin Jingqing was also gritting his teeth. Although what he had done in his dream was even more outrageous, it was really inappropriate now!

Lin Jingqing carried An Ge and followed Ji Xia to their assigned accommodation. The room appeared to have been specially prepared.

The journey of perseverance is also a test of oneself!

An Ge was placed on the bed, but how could she lie still? She sat up and opened her arms to Lin Jingqing.

Lin Jingqing naturally understood what this meant.

"Xiao Qing, Xiao Qingqing~"

This is flirting, of course it's flirting! But Lin Jingqing looked at the person in front of him in surprise. Was this an admission?

Although Lin Jingqing initially refused to be addressed in this way, he was overjoyed to hear it now!
