Chapter 14: Snowy Nights, Moonlit Nights, and You
Chen Yin was taken aback.
Luo Qiaoqiao leaned against him, her chin resting on his shoulder, her eyes gazing at him intently.
He hesitated for a moment, then chuckled softly:
“Sister, please don’t tease your little brother like this. I’m afraid I might actually fall for you.”
“Wouldn’t that be nice? Don’t you like me?”
“This… isn’t a matter of liking or not liking.”
Chen Yin shrugged. “There are so many people who like you, I wouldn’t even stand a chance.”
“Knowing that it’s unattainable, yet still yearning for it, are you not afraid of getting hurt?”
Luo Qiaoqiao pouted, then whispered softly in his ear:
“Coward.”
Chen Yin couldn’t help but close his eyes.
This woman exuded a fatal charm, as if she wanted to drain a man’s soul.
The way she leaned against him and whispered in his ear was like a seductive enchantress.
After a long while, Chen Yin slowly said, “I think, Sister, you’re truly unaware of your own charm.”
“Has anyone ever told you that it’s dangerous to tempt a man like this?”
“No.” Luo Qiaoqiao’s eyes were filled with amusement. “Because I’ve never tempted a man before.”
“…You’re the first.” She added softly, leaning close to his ear again.
Chen Yin looked at her intently before saying seriously, “Sister, you’re drunk.”
“Maybe.”
Luo Qiaoqiao casually flicked her hair and propped her head up, continuing to stare at him.
“When people are drunk, they’re not pretending, are they?”
Just like you said.
When we meet, let it be in the rain. I’ll hold your hand through the rain, and there will be no need for any pretense.
“Maybe I’m drunk. But I know what I’m doing right now.” Luo Qiaoqiao picked up the wine jar and started drinking again.
Chen Yin was speechless.
He suddenly realized a serious problem.
At first, Luo Qiaoqiao was drinking alone, looking lonely. Chen Yin thought she was just unhappy and had something on her mind. He figured that if he accompanied her and cheered her up, she would leave.
Just like those girls who drank alone in bars in his previous life.
However, this wasn’t the world he was reborn from. And the Silk-Robe Fairy was definitely not the kind of girl who needed to indulge herself in a bar.
She didn’t have those girls’ masterful emotional manipulation skills, nor did she have the desire for men to flatter her and satisfy her vanity.
She seemed to be genuinely lonely.
If she truly had feelings for him, it might become uncontrollable.
…But he wasn’t here to pick up girls today.
He really just wanted to bring wine back for his Master.
“What are you thinking about?”
Perhaps noticing that Chen Yin had been silent for a while, Luo Qiaoqiao took a big gulp of wine and wrapped an arm around his neck.
“Why don’t you guess what I’m thinking?”
“I guess—” She suddenly smiled slyly. “You want to kiss me.”
“With your beauty and alluring lips, who wouldn’t want to taste your sweetness?”
“Then… do you want to try?”
Luo Qiaoqiao’s eyes were filled with an aggressive heat as she licked her lips, staring intently at Chen Yin.
No man could resist losing their mind at the sight of her tongue tracing her red lips.
As if possessed, Chen Yin let her get closer, their faces drawing nearer, her fragrance and warm breath washing over him.
Luo Qiaoqiao showed no sign of stopping. She continued to lean in until their eyelashes almost touched.
But she was suddenly disappointed to find that Chen Yin’s expression remained unchanged.
He still wore a faint, bitter, and helpless smile, his eyes clear and calm.
She suddenly felt unhappy.
“I’ve never been this intimate with a man before.”
She rolled over and straddled Chen Yin’s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and saying each word slowly: “Is it because I’m not attractive enough?”
“Sister, you’re joking. I’m already struggling to restrain myself.”
Chen Yin shook his head with a wry smile. “Please, Sister, stop teasing me. I don’t want to wake up tomorrow and find myself dismembered.”
“Are you afraid?” She raised her chin.
“No. But I think a beautiful woman like you deserves a better man. I’m far from worthy of you.”
Luo Qiaoqiao suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of dejection. She lost interest and let go, sitting to the side and sullenly drinking from a wine jar.
“…Are you unhappy?”
“No.” She turned her head away as if sulking.
Chen Yin hesitated. Seeing that the last jar of wine was about to be finished, and knowing he would be scolded by his Master anyway, he decided to just go all out.
So, he grabbed a jar of wine and tilted his head back, pouring it down his throat.
“I don’t know how to cheer you up. So let’s just drink together.”
“But I want to hear you try to cheer me up.”
Luo Qiaoqiao suddenly turned her head, her eyes red-rimmed, looking at Chen Yin with a hint of grievance.
“Cheer me up.” Her eyes were lonely, like a lost child, but her tone was still stubborn and demanding.
Chen Yin thought for a moment, then moved closer to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and pulling her into his embrace.
Then, he gently kissed her forehead.
At that moment, Luo Qiaoqiao’s face flushed crimson, and her breathing quickened.
She pushed Chen Yin away in a panic, her eyes darting around.
“See?”
Chen Yin spread his hands. “Sister was just acting on impulse after drinking. You’re not really ready.”
“If I had just kissed your lips instead of your forehead, you would probably regret it to death later.”
With that, he ignored Luo Qiaoqiao’s vulnerable and lonely eyes and stood up, patting his clothes.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Sister, you’ve had a lot to drink today, go back and rest early.”
“I should also be heading back—”
“Don’t go!” Luo Qiaoqiao suddenly stood up, her eyes glistening as she looked at him.
Chen Yin turned back silently.
“You were wrong. I am ready.”
The next moment, an invisible ribbon of spiritual energy bound Chen Yin’s body, pulling him forcefully towards Luo Qiaoqiao.
Chen Yin met Luo Qiaoqiao’s gaze in astonishment.
Her eyes held a determined and slightly defiant glint.
“…It’s just that I like to take the initiative.” She raised her head proudly.
The next moment, a pair of soft and warm lips pressed against his. Chen Yin’s eyes widened.
The moonlight seemed to sway, and he felt as if he were drowning in soft, undulating waves, the scent of the sea breeze filling his senses.
The boy and the girl kissed for what felt like an eternity.
When their lips parted, Luo Qiaoqiao stepped back slightly, her flushed face still lingering, her heart pounding wildly.
Chen Yin couldn’t help but touch his lips lightly, his emotions incredibly complex.
…This was his first kiss!
Even counting his previous life on Earth, he had been a single otaku for over twenty years, with no experience in kissing a girl.
This was the first time he had experienced what a girl’s lips felt like.
But he had to admit, it was quite addictive.
Soft and sweet. It left him wanting more.
“Sister, this…” Chen Yin looked at Luo Qiaoqiao with an innocent and pitiful expression.
Luo Qiaoqiao suppressed the nervousness and excitement in her heart and tried to appear calm. “Well?”
“Are my lips comfortable?”
“…Can you not be so blunt?”
Luo Qiaoqiao smiled with satisfaction, like a child who had successfully pulled off a prank. She shifted her position, leaning against Chen Yin’s chest with one arm.
“This was my first kiss, you know. You’re lucky, little brother.”
“You have to take responsibility.”
Chen Yin sighed. “You’re really drunk.”
“You’ll regret this when you wake up tomorrow.”
“I won’t regret it!” Her voice suddenly became a little agitated.
Her eyes reddened, and she said with determination, “I, Luo Qiaoqiao, am not a frivolous woman.”
“Do you think I would do this with just anyone?”
Chen Yin didn’t speak, just looked at her quietly.
Luo Qiaoqiao seemed to read his thoughts from his gaze. Her lips pursed slightly, and her expression resembled that of a wronged child.
“You don’t believe me, do you? Fine.” She said.
“There are rooms downstairs. Come with me.”
This time, Chen Yin was truly dumbfounded.
“Wait, wait, wait… Sister, please think this through!”
He tried to reason with her. “You’re really drunk today, there’s no need to do this to yourself.”
“If you’re truly smitten with me, why don’t we exchange contact information and get in touch after you sober up?”
“No.” She grabbed Chen Yin’s hand stubbornly. “What if you run away again?”
Damn, you guessed it. Chen Yin inwardly groaned.
But honestly, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to actually sleep with the renowned Silk-Robe Fairy. The consequences would be disastrous, just like sleeping with his Senior Sister Shen Shuanglian.
He still had to prepare for his Little Junior Sister Xiang’er’s matters, he didn’t have time to deal with this kind of romantic entanglement.
If word got out that he had taken Silk-Robe Fairy’s virginity, not to mention whether the Heavenly Net Sect would skin him alive, just the countless admirers of Silk-Robe Fairy in the cultivation world would make his life difficult.
But the most pressing issue at hand was, how could he escape?
Chen Yin’s entire body was bound by an invisible ribbon of spiritual energy. As long as Luo Qiaoqiao, a Boundless Realm expert, willed it, Chen Yin wouldn’t be able to break free. This was the insurmountable difference in cultivation.
Chen Yin didn’t want to use one of his three swords on her. After all, those sword moves were only for killing, and he didn’t even have a sword to use.
So, Chen Yin could only be dragged like a helpless kitten by Luo Qiaoqiao to a room on the top floor of the inn.
As soon as they entered the room, Luo Qiaoqiao started to undress without a word, scaring Chen Yin into blurting out:
“Wait!”
Luo Qiaoqiao turned to look at him, and Chen Yin forced a smile:
“Well… since we’ve decided to enjoy this beautiful night, how can we not make the most of it?”
“I noticed that Sister didn’t drink enough just now. How about I accompany Sister for a few more drinks, and we can enjoy the spring night together?”
Luo Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, then broke into a beautiful smile.
“Okay. I’ll drink with you.”
“But little brother, don’t try anything funny.”
“I won’t let you escape.”
“Tonight, you have to stay with me no matter what.” She smiled seductively.
Chen Yin smiled along on the surface, but his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
