Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Her face was flushed even more from the alcohol.

Orange slightly opened her eyes, looking at Ye Chen who was so close to her with watery eyes. Her gaze was hazy, but deep in her eyes there was a hint of cunning that was hard to detect.

"Stay with me a little longer... You're already here..." she said softly, her voice slightly coquettish, her breath carrying a faint scent of wine, gently brushing against Ye Chen's cheek.

"Just for a little while... okay?"

Orange looked straight at Ye Chen, her voice tinged with nervousness.

Clearly, this was a spur-of-the-moment decision for Orange.

She really didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Having finally managed to lure Ye Chen home, how could we let her escape so easily?

She was currently dizzy and had indeed drunk too much, making it impossible for her to have a deep conversation with Ye Chen... She could only have Ye Chen sleep with her for now, lest he run away...

As Ju Zi spoke, she shifted her body slightly, as if searching for a more comfortable position, but unintentionally brought the two of them closer together, making the soft touch even clearer.

"Okay, I'll stay for a while before I leave."

Ye Chen nodded, and then, following the pull of the orange, he and the orange fell onto the soft bed together.

It has to be said that Orange's bed is really something else; it's really comfortable to lie on, and it made him sleepy in an instant.

Ye Chen had originally planned to spend the night with Meng Hongchen, but now that he was being pestered by Ju Zi, there was nothing he could do.

He lay half-reclined on Orange's soft bed, his body somewhat stiff.

Orange's arms wrapped tightly around his neck like vines, and one of her legs straddled him without hesitation, pressing against his waist.

She practically clung to Ye Chen, her head buried deep in the crook of his neck, her warm breath carrying a faint scent of alcohol, gently brushing against his skin, tickling him.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of their breathing.

The moonlight was filtered through the curtains, leaving only a hazy halo that barely illuminated the outline of the room.

Ye Chen could clearly smell the sweet fragrance of orange mixed with the smell of alcohol on her body, as well as the faint sweetness in her hair.

Ye Chen tried to move his arm that was being held down, hoping to find a more comfortable position, but he found that the orange was too tight and he couldn't move it at all.

"Um……"

Orange let out a muffled murmur, but instead of letting go, she tightened her embrace.

She nuzzled her cheek against Ye Chen's shoulder, finding a more comfortable position, and then her breathing became long and even again.

"Ah this..."

Ye Chen opened his mouth, but ultimately gave up struggling.

He knew that Ju Zi had really drunk too much and was fast asleep, so it wouldn't be good to forcibly push her away.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Ye Chen was still able to fall asleep.

Ye Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief, relaxed his tense body, and sank into the soft mattress.

When the body is relaxed, the senses become more acute.

Orange's soft body pressed against him, and through the thin fabric, he could feel the curves and warmth of her body.

Ye Chen closed his eyes, letting drowsiness gradually creep in.

The orange's body temperature was like a heater, which was especially comfortable on this slightly cool night. Ye Chen's tense nerves slowly relaxed, his consciousness became blurred, and he finally fell into a deep sleep.

……

……

……

The next day.

The morning sunlight pierced through the gap in the curtains earlier than expected.

Several slanted spots of light were cast onto the messy floor.

The light in the room gradually brightened.

Ye Chen woke up early.

The moment he awoke, his powerful mental energy instantly cleared his head, dispelling all traces of drowsiness.

He looked down and saw that the orange was still clinging to him like an octopus.

Her sleeping position was not very stable; her head, which had been resting on the crook of his neck, had somehow slipped down and was now pressing firmly against his chest.

At the same time, perhaps because he hadn't paid much attention, Orange's clothes were slightly disheveled, and from Ye Chen's perspective, a distinct patch of fair skin could be clearly seen.

"..."

Ye Chen glanced at it twice, then quickly looked away.

He tried to lift his trapped arm, hoping to free himself without waking Orange.

But as soon as he moved, Orange seemed to be disturbed. She frowned slightly, let out a dissatisfied whimper, and tightened her arms around him. She also unconsciously rubbed her cheek against Ye Chen's chest, completely taking Ye Chen as her guarantee.

Ye Chen froze instantly, too afraid to move.

He could only maintain this posture, his gaze fixed on Ju Zi's sleeping face.

The soft morning light outlined the lines of her face, making her appear exceptionally languid and serene.

After a while, perhaps the sunlight became too bright.

Orange's long eyelashes trembled a few more times before she finally slowly opened her eyes.

Those eyes were initially veiled with a layer of watery confusion.

Orange blinked, staring blankly at Ye Chen's chest, which was so close to hers, seemingly not yet realizing where she was or who she was holding.

At this moment, her mind was blank, with only the heavy feeling of a hangover remaining.

It took Orange a full half minute to maintain that hugging posture.

Memories then flooded back into my mind like a tidal wave.

"Ye Chen...you...we..."

Orange's eyes, which had been filled with sleepiness and confusion, suddenly widened, and her pupils contracted sharply.

Yesterday's memories exploded in my mind like a thunderclap.

Barbecue restaurant, Star Shine beer, coaxing and begging to stay, and clinging to him on the bed and refusing to let go...

"what--!"

Ju Zi exclaimed in surprise and jumped away from Ye Chen!

The sudden movement nearly made her fall off the bed, but luckily Ye Chen reacted quickly and instinctively reached out to catch her.

Orange sat up in a panic, her hands unconsciously gripping the blanket tightly against her chest.

Her cheeks flushed rapidly, the red spreading from her ears all the way down her neck, even turning her small earlobes an alluring pink. She dared not look at Ye Chen, her eyes darting around in a panic.

"Ye... Ye Chen... um... I..."

She was incoherent, her voice trembling slightly with nervousness and embarrassment.

"I drank too much last night... um... I... I didn't mean to!"

She finally managed to utter a complete sentence, abruptly raising her head to look at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with pleading and panic, "You...you mustn't tell anyone! Nothing happened between us! We just...we just drank too much and fell asleep!"

She hurriedly explained, afraid that Ye Chen might have misunderstood something.

Her usual composure and reserve vanished without a trace, leaving only the embarrassment of a young girl.

She was so annoyed that she wished she could disappear into the ground.

She wasn't shy, she was afraid.

If this gets out...

Especially if Xu Tianran finds out, it will definitely bring huge trouble to Ye Chen, which is something she absolutely does not want to see.

"Yes, yes, yes, senior drank too much last night. I only stayed here for one night. Nothing happened between us, so don't worry, Sister Orange."

Ye Chen nodded repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi's nervousness eased slightly thanks to Ye Chen's assurance, but the blush on her face did not completely fade.

She secretly glanced at Ye Chen, meeting his clear gaze, then quickly lowered her head, twisting the corner of the blanket with her fingers, and muttered softly, "That's more like it..."

Just then, Ye Chen seemed to remember something, and an awkward look flashed across his eyes. He coughed lightly, his tone a little unnatural, but he said very seriously, "Sister Orange, you can't tell anyone about what happened yesterday."

Ju Zi was still feeling ashamed and embarrassed when she heard Ye Chen's words and was stunned for a moment.

They quickly realized what was happening.

Ye Chen was referring to the time he massaged her feet!
And there might be some sneaky little things he does while he's asleep!
"Oh~~"

She dragged out the last syllable, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards, revealing a mischievous smile.

His previously lowered eyelids lifted, and his large eyes instantly filled with teasing.

"hey-hey……"

She couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle, her body relaxing as she stopped clutching the blanket. Instead, she leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Ye Chen, her gaze sweeping back and forth across his face.

"Don't worry, I understand."

Orange's voice regained its usual vitality, even carrying a hint of mischievous lightness.

It's a promise, this is our little secret, and neither of us is allowed to tell anyone.

Ye Chen was even more embarrassed by Ju Zi's sudden change of expression.

He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's a deal!"

Seeing Ye Chen's embarrassed appearance, Ju Zi felt inexplicably happy.

The initial sense of social stagnation in the early morning was replaced by a strange sense of control and pleasure.

"But..."

She changed the subject, her smile becoming even brighter, even carrying a hint of allure.

She sat cross-legged, supporting herself with her hands on either side of her body.

She then tilted her head slightly, looked at Ye Chen with a smile, and said slowly, "If you perform well... I might consider... giving you a reward~"

As she spoke, Ju Zi kicked Ye Chen with her foot.

The implication is obvious.

"Ahem, Sister Orange, this..."

Ye Chen instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Don't refuse!"

Orange immediately interrupted him, hands on her hips, deliberately putting on a stern face, widening her eyes, and adopting the domineering posture of a senior student, "This is my kind offer, how dare you not appreciate it?"

Although Orange's cheeks still had a lingering blush, her eyes held a strong sense of threat.

Ye Chen sighed inwardly as he looked at Ju Zi's feigned fierceness.

Good heavens, she's completely got her hands on this.

but……

Ye Chen looked at Ju Zi's pretty face.

Well, it's not entirely unacceptable.

"Uh, okay..."

Ye Chen gave an awkward smile.

Looking at Ye Chen's helpless yet somewhat embarrassed expression, Ju Zi was overjoyed, like a kitten that had stolen a fish.

She tried hard to maintain a serious demeanor, but the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.

"Hmph, finally we've taken the initiative!"

Orange was secretly pleased.

With the initiative in hand, I'll be much more confident about my future dates with Ye Chen.

……

The two quickly tidied up the room.

Ju Zi first let Ye Chen leave through the back door.

After a while, Orange changed her clothes and came out through the front door.

The two then met at the entrance of a small alley and headed to the laboratory together.

……

A beautiful day passed quickly.

Late at night, Ye Chen didn't go to play with Ju Zi or Meng Hongchen, but instead went to find Jing Hongchen...

Ok.

Ye Chen was certainly not looking for Jing Hongchen to play around with; he was discussing important matters with Jing Hongchen.
