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

Of course, although Ju Zi's suggestion was tempting, Ye Chen still chose Meng Hongchen.

After all, I made a promise to Meng Hongchen, and I can't go back on my word.

And today is also Meng Hongchen's birthday.

If Ye Chen doesn't go.

Meng Hongchen will probably ignore him for several days.

As for the orange's hyaluronic acid.

It's the same whether we check tomorrow or not.

Ye Chen actually knew what Ju Zi was thinking and what her concerns were, so he respected her and always kept a certain distance from her.

They only become a little ambiguous in private.

It's mainly Xu Tianran.

Ye Chen could actually kill the other party at any time.

Even if the opponent is a Title Douluo with a top-tier martial soul, Ye Chen can crush him with one hand.

However, because Ye Chen needed Xu Tianran as a tool to help him consolidate his strength and stabilize the situation, Ye Chen could only temporarily rely on Xu Tianran to put his head on the table.

We'll just have to make do with the oranges for now.

……

Ye Chen walked out of the academy gate.

Evening in Mingdu was still as bustling as ever.

Those undercurrents deep within did not affect the prosperity of Mingdu in the slightest.

Soon, a beautiful figure wearing the white school uniform of the Royal Soul Master Academy appeared in front of Ye Chen.

Her long, wine-red hair gleamed in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Beneath the white mini-skirt were white over-the-knee stockings, encasing a pair of shapely legs, which was Ye Chen's favorite.

As soon as Meng Hongchen saw Ye Chen, her icy blue eyes lit up instantly, as if filled with starlight. She ran over, her wine-red hair flying behind her.

"Brother Ye Chen, I miss you~"

Meng Hongchen called out cheerfully and naturally reached out to take Ye Chen's arm, a sweet smile on her face.

Seeing Ye Chen seemed to dispel most of the day's fatigue.

In her opinion, nothing was more important than being with Ye Chen.

"Yeah, I miss you too~"

Ye Chen leaned down and kissed Meng Hongchen on the cheek, completely ignoring the various gazes from those around them.

The soft, warm touch, carrying the unique fragrance of a young girl, instantly dispelled all the surrounding noise.

"Hehe, let's go, let's go! Today's my birthday, you have to listen to me~"

Meng Hongchen held Ye Chen's hand, her voice filled with joy.

She could feel the warmth from Ye Chen's arm, and her heart was pounding like a rabbit's.

Today is her birthday, and it's also the first birthday Ye Chen has spent with her, so it naturally has great commemorative significance.

"Okay, let's go, my little birthday girl~ I'll do whatever you say today~"

Ye Chen reached out and squeezed Meng Hongchen's palm, his tone full of doting affection.

The two quickly left the crowd and arrived at a hotel called "Yunqi Hotel" that was specially prepared for couples.

When Meng Hongchen swiped her room card to open the door of a luxury suite on the top floor, Ye Chen's eyes lit up slightly.

Under the soft, warm yellow light, the entire suite seemed to have been meticulously arranged into a dreamlike garden.

Vibrant red roses, elegant lilies, and many other beautiful flowers whose names I don't know are arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner throughout the room.

The rich yet subtle floral fragrances intertwine to create a sweet and romantic atmosphere.

Near the huge floor-to-ceiling window, there is a small dining table covered with a snow-white tablecloth.

It is decorated with exquisite silver tableware and beautifully designed candlesticks.

Several dishes with excellent presentation gleamed with an enticing sheen.

A bottle of red wine, already opened, was placed nearby, emitting a faint fruity aroma.

In the center of the table was a six-tiered cream cake, with fresh strawberries and blueberries dotting the pink and white cream, and delicate piping outlining beautiful patterns.

"Excellent, excellent, very well prepared!"

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Especially the details in the room, it felt like Meng Hongchen had personally arranged them.

He knew Meng Hongchen had put a lot of thought into it, but he hadn't expected it to be so meticulous and romantic, clearly showing that she had put a lot of thought and time into it.

"uh-huh!"

Meng Hongchen proudly puffed out her little chest, her icy blue eyes sparkling. "Hehe, I booked this way well in advance! I wanted to give you... no, I mean, myself a surprise birthday dinner!"

She seemed to realize she had let something slip, her face turned even redder, and she quickly pulled Ye Chen inside.

Meng Hongchen pulled Ye Chen to sit side by side on a chair covered with soft velvet cushions.

Their arms inevitably touched, and they could clearly feel each other's body temperature.

"Hehe, I'm going to dig in now~"

Meng Hongchen rubbed her hands together, picked up the cake knife, and was itching to start cutting.

Clearly, Meng Hongchen was mainly craving the cake and couldn't wait to eat it.

"and many more."

Ye Chen suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?" Meng Hongchen turned her head curiously to look at Ye Chen.

"Why don't you make a wish first? We have a custom where we're from that where we're from, we make a wish before eating cake, and they say that wishes are more likely to come true at that time!"

Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Really?"

Meng Hongchen's eyes widened even more instantly.

This was the first time she had heard Ye Chen mention this, and she found it quite novel.

"of course."

Ye Chen nodded firmly, adding with a mysterious smile, "And you have to make your wish silently, not aloud, otherwise it won't come true~"

The Sun and Moon Empire doesn't seem to have the custom of making wishes before one's birthday.

Although this thing is essentially metaphysics and only has a psychological comforting effect, it can greatly enhance the sense of ritual.

"Uh-huh!"

Meng Hongchen nodded vigorously, appearing extremely solemn.

She clasped her hands together in front of her chest, lowered her head slightly, and closed her eyes.

Her long eyelashes cast a small fan-shaped shadow in the candlelight, trembling slightly as her eyes moved gently beneath her eyelids.

Her lips pursed silently, then curled into a sweet smile.

Meng Hongchen silently vowed in her heart, "I want to be with Brother Ye Chen forever, never to be separated~ forever and ever~"

This thought echoed repeatedly in her mind, carrying the girl's most sincere prayers and deepest love.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating her slightly flushed cheeks. Her focused and dreamy expression was breathtakingly beautiful.

Ye Chen quietly looked at Meng Hongchen.

Although he couldn't hear her thoughts, Ye Chen could guess what she was thinking from her rapidly blushing face.

Ye Chen's hand, which was under the table, naturally reached out and gently covered her thigh, which was covered by ultra-thin white stockings.

Through the delicate stockings, my palm could feel the firm, elastic texture of the girl's thigh, warm and smooth.

Meng Hongchen's body tensed almost imperceptibly for a moment, but she did not resist. Instead, she subconsciously moved closer to Ye Chen to make it easier for him.

But the blush on her face was noticeably deeper.

About ten seconds later, Meng Hongchen slowly opened her eyes.

Her icy blue eyes seemed to be filled with starlight as she looked at Ye Chen with great anticipation, clearly hoping that her wish would come true.

"Is it settled?"

Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"Ok!"

Meng Hongchen nodded vigorously, her face showing undisguised joy and a touch of shyness.

Meng Hongchen's heart felt like it was filled with honey. She picked up the silver knife for cutting the cake, carefully cut off the first piece of cake with fresh strawberries, and handed it to Ye Chen first.

Ye Chen took it, cut off another piece, and handed it to her.

The two smiled at each other and began to share this sweet moment.

The cake melts in your mouth, sweet but not cloying.

Meng Hongchen ate until her eyes were squinted, like a happy cat.

As she ate, she couldn't help but snuggle closer to Ye Chen, their bodies pressing even closer together.

Meng Hongchen raised her wine glass and gently clinked it against Ye Chen's.

The crisp sound of glass clattering was especially pleasant in the quiet room.

She took a small sip, feeling the slight burning sensation and sweet aftertaste as the wine slid down her throat.

The cake and the alcohol seemed to combine to make her feel even more relaxed.

"Brother Ye Chen..."

She called out softly, her voice slightly nasal, as if she were being tickled.

Meng Hongchen seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "You seem unusually happy these past few days, tell me about it~"

She keenly noticed that Ye Chen seemed more relaxed and cheerful than usual lately, so she was also a little curious.

"Well, I can't say."

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head.

You can't exactly say you're happy because the emperor died suddenly.

Meng Hongchen is still young; it's not good for her to know too much.

"Hmph! Stingy..."

Meng Hongchen puffed out her cheeks, looking like an angry little pufferfish.

She suddenly put down her wine glass and wrapped her arms tightly around Ye Chen's neck.

Before Ye Chen could react, Meng Hongchen pressed herself against him.

Meng Hongchen gently bit Ye Chen's lips, but seemed to feel a little sorry for him afterward, and licked them lightly with her tongue...

Her eyes were misty and aggrieved, making her look pitiful.

"What an idiot..."

Ye Chen smiled, then gently cupped Meng Hongchen's warm cheeks and pressed her against the soft back of the chair behind him.

Ye Chen then gently leaned down and pressed himself against her...
