Dreaming Again

Living Room.

"Qin... Luo..."

Qin Luo was sitting on the sofa when he heard Su Muwan's voice and was slightly taken aback.

Huh?

He raised his head.

When he saw Su Muwan standing behind him in a strange manner, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately stood up.

Su Muwan was slightly out of breath, her eyes dazed, and her face flushed.

Waves of cold air continuously emanated from her body.

In an instant, Qin Luo realized that this was... the invasion of cold energy?!

Oh no, it must be because she used her powers too many times at headquarters.

No wonder the system notification ended.

So that's why.

Qin Luo quickly stepped forward, "Wait, Miss, I'll administer the acupuncture right away."

As he spoke, Qin Luo had already pulled out the silver needles, ready to perform the acupuncture to dispel the cold energy from Su Muwan.

But...

Crackle!

Just as Qin Luo took a step forward, Su Muwan's lips curled into a smirk, and she raised her hand, instantly freezing Qin Luo's legs in place.

?

Qin Luo was stunned, his legs frozen, and a hint of confusion flashed through his mind.

Wait, what?

What's going on?

Su Muwan's eyes were dazed, her face flushed, and it seemed that it wasn't just the cold energy invasion—there was also another indescribable emotion mixed in.

"Muwan, what are you doing?"

Qin Luo swallowed hard, feeling that Su Muwan's condition was different from the last time she was invaded by cold energy.

"Hmph~~"

Hearing this, Su Muwan let out a soft hum, her dazed gaze carrying a hint of triumph.

She slowly approached step by step.

Her smile carried a trace of mischief, as if she was thoroughly enjoying Qin Luo's pitiful, immobilized state.

"Luo Luo, you should know that my strength..."

Her voice was soft but carried a domineering tone, "is far above yours~"

Before Qin Luo could react, Su Muwan was already standing right in front of him.

She gently lifted her chin, her eyes flickering with a dazed look.

The cold air seemed to solidify at this moment, and her breath was so close it was almost tangible.

This isn't right, something's really off about her state.

"Muwan, you..."

Qin Luo instinctively wanted to step back, but his frozen legs left him unable to move, and his words were cut off by her next action.

"Hmph~ Trying to escape?"

Without hesitation, Su Muwan reached out, wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on her tiptoes, and then pinched Qin Luo's nose before roughly kissing him.

Her lips were slightly cold, but the moment they touched Qin Luo's, they transformed into a warm flood that instantly overwhelmed his thoughts.

"Mmm—!"

Qin Luo's eyes widened, and his heartbeat roared like thunder in his ears.

This kiss from Su Muwan was completely different from before.

It was unskilled, all brute force, as if she didn't care about Qin Luo's feelings at all.

His airways were blocked, and the intense, thrilling sensation filled Qin Luo's mind.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Su Muwan reluctantly pulled away.

"Really..."

She furrowed her brows slightly, glaring at Qin Luo and complaining, "How dare a mere Qin Luo last longer than me!"

Well, with his endurance maxed out, holding his breath wasn't a problem.

Ahem, let's not dwell on that.

Qin Luo's face turned red as he licked his lips.

Although the domineering Miss was adorable, Su Muwan's current state was clearly not normal...

Huh?

Why has the cold energy weakened a bit?

Qin Luo swallowed hard, looking at Su Muwan, who seemed slightly better, and softly said, "Miss—Mmm!"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Muwan launched a second wave.

Thud!

Qin Luo was forcibly pressed to the ground by Su Muwan.

This time, however, Su Muwan quickly let go of Qin Luo.

She was slightly out of breath, her eyes dazed as she leaned on Qin Luo's shoulder, murmuring, "Luo Luo... you're so warm..."

Qin Luo felt Su Muwan gradually calming down and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was probably because the cold energy hadn't been expelled for a long time, causing it to erupt all at once and making Su Muwan act a little strange.

But now it should be...

"What about your hands? Are they this warm too?"

While Qin Luo was still in a daze, Su Muwan had already grabbed his hand.

Just as he thought she was just showing her usual hand-control tendencies, what Su Muwan did next made Qin Luo's pupils tremble.

Su Muwan actually...

"Miss!"

Qin Luo quickly spoke up, "This isn't right... Mmm!"

Before he could finish, Su Muwan sealed his mouth shut. She stared at Qin Luo's shocked expression, her lips curling into a smile, her eyes revealing a hint of satisfaction as she muttered, "This is all your fault, Luo Luo."

"It's all because you didn't do what a boyfriend should."

Qin Luo panicked. Her state was way too off!

He swallowed hard, trying to pull his hand back, "Miss, Miss, at least we should wait until we're married..."

"What are you babbling about?"

"Who cares about before or after marriage..."

Su Muwan smirked, leaning down to whisper in Qin Luo's ear, her breath warm and fragrant, "A mere Qin Luo."

"Just shut up and obediently help me detoxify..."

Huh? Detoxify?

Oh no... Miss is completely delirious now...

Qin Luo took a deep breath.

After thinking for one second, he gave up resisting.

If he couldn't fight back...

Then he might as well let her do as she pleased.

Qin Luo closed his eyes and lay on the ground, abandoning all thought.

And at that moment, the bronze cauldron in Su Muwan's bedroom, adorned with two flowers, suddenly emitted a bright light.

The light spread from the bedroom to the living room.

In an instant, both of them lost consciousness.

.....

.....

It was unclear how much time had passed.

Consciousness gradually returned.

Ah... such bliss...

Why do I feel so happy...

Su Muwan opened her eyes with a contented smile, but the scene before her made her pause.

Huh? This isn't my room...

The surroundings were an extravagantly luxurious room, the opulent decor making it feel somewhat unreal.

The walls were adorned with intricate golden carvings, and sunlight streamed in through a massive crystal-embedded floor-to-ceiling window, casting a warm glow over the thick Persian carpet that felt so soft it seemed to swallow you whole.

Every piece of furniture was meticulously chosen—the silk cushions on the chairs, the rare ornaments on the desk—all showcasing the unparalleled taste and wealth of the room's owner.

"Huh?"

Su Muwan slowly sat up, realizing she was lying on a classic four-poster bed.

After a brief moment of thought, she came to a realization.

Oh, I must be dreaming again.

But if this is a dream, why do I feel so happy?

Why is that?

Su Muwan closed her eyes, carefully recalling.

Then...

Gasp!!!

Her pupils contracted, and she sharply inhaled.

Oh no!!!

Slap! She covered her face, her eyes peeking out from between her fingers, filled with shame.

I actually made Qin Luo do... that?! I'm done for! I'm done for!

How is he going to look at me now?!

Just as she was thinking this, there was a knock at the door.

"Your Highness, are you awake?"

Your Highness?

Su Muwan tilted her head in confusion. What kind of dream is this?

And... that voice sounds like...

She nervously replied, "Come in."

The next second, Qin Luo walked in, dressed in a black robe.

"Ah! Qin Luo in ancient attire!"

Su Muwan was the first to express her shock.

"Ancient attire, my foot!"

Qin Luo quickly walked over, placing a hand on Su Muwan's head. He ruffled her hair while saying in a kind yet firm tone, "Su Muwan! You've got some nerve, forcing me like that..."

"Ahhhh!"

Su Muwan's face turned red as she screamed in embarrassment, "Wait! That was an accident!"

"An accident? What kind of accident?"

"That! It's just human nature!"

"Human nature, my foot!"

"Wuwuwu, Qin Luo, you're bullying me! I just borrowed your hand, what's the big deal?!"

"Still being stubborn?"

"Ah! I was wrong, okay? Hehehe!"

"What are you laughing about?"

"Ahem, I just thought of something funny, hehe..."

"Su Muwan!"
