Chapter 150 - Mystery-Flavored Kiss (3)
After they descended the mountain and boarded the jeep, Lu Xingchi looked sideways at the jadeite beads on Bei Nuan's wrist.
"Not willing to take it off? Aren't you going to prick your finger and let a droplet of your blood fall on it? Who knows? You might get another pocket space."
He sounded jealous.
Bei Nuan quickly took off the bracelet and put it away in her pocket space.
They hadn't been on the load for long when the countdown to Holy Mother's wish task ended. Just as Little Three explained, since they were safe and sound so far, it had changed to "3 out of 3 completed".
Seeing her skyrocketing Holy Mother value, Bei Nuan was ecstatic.
Little Three had said if she filled out the Holy Mother value bar before the end of the story, she would return to her original world, and her fate of being crushed by a big truck would be automatically changed. Seeing the Holy Mother bar filling up with green, she thought her future looked so promising.
Before Bei Nuan had enough of watching her increased Holy Mother value, the lottery wheel popped up.
This time, there were very few names, and the wheel slowed down on the second spin.
Bei Nuan saw Tang Tang's name slowly pass by, and then Jiang Fei's before the pointer slowly came to Du Ruo's name.
Bei Nuan wanted to throw up her hands and cheer. Fulfilling Du Ruo's wishes would be super easy. She didn't even need to ask him. His wishes must be to eat all sorts of delicious food.
However, the lottery wheel hadn't stopped spinning. With a click, it suddenly jumped to the next name. This time, it had really stopped, and it was quite stable too. It was Lu Xingchi's name.
Bei Nuan: "..."
Bei Nuan turned to look at the big boss, who was currently driving.
She didn't have to think hard at all. She already knew his wish. She felt like she had to deliver herself to his door.
Bei Nuan looked at the countdown. It was about three days again. It was enough time.
In order to set off, they had gotten up early today. Du Ruo and the others were catching up on sleep in the back seats. Tang Tang had laid down and was snoring.
Bei Nuan glanced at them, then she stealthily tugged on Lu Xingchi's clothes.
"What's up?" ”Lu Xingchi asked.
"Lu Xingchi," Bei Nuan quietly said and carefully chose her words, "You saved me again yesterday. To express my gratitude, I decided to fulfill three wishes for you."
Lu Xingchi wickedly smiled before she finished speaking.
"You're not going to ask for three kisses for your wishes, are you?" Bei Nuan apprehensively whispered.
Lu Xingchi turned to glance at her, raised his eyebrows, and said nothing.
Judging from his expression, she probably guessed wrong.
"What kind of indecent thing are you thinking of?" Bei Nuan became vigilant. "You're not allowed to make outrageous demands. Stuff like being your girlfriend and whatnot, not allowed to mention it."
"Okay, not allowed."
Lu Xingchi glanced at Du Ruo and the others in the rearview mirror. With his hand still on the steering wheel, he leaned over to Bei Nuan and lowered his voice. "Even if I don't mention anything indecent like you said, your guess about the three kisses is wrong."
Bei Nuan didn't get it.
Lu Xingchi continued to say, "My first two wishes is to kiss you and my third wish is for three more wishes."
Bei Nuan sincerely said, "You might as well stop to take a nap. You can have everything you want in a dream. Kisses aren't allowed either. Choose something normal. For example, washing or ironing your clothes."
Lu Xingchi laughed. "Why do you like ironing my clothes so much? Every time, you offer to iron my clothes."
Bei Nuan cheekily said, "I'm especially good at ironing clothes. I always ironed my school uniforms when I was kid. If you don't believe me, why not try it out?"
Lu Xingchi glanced at her and calmly said, "If I can't even get a kiss, then I don't want these three wishes.
Bei Nuan: ?!
She couldn't let him reject the wishes. If he didn't want them, then how could she complete the task? She was 2/3rds of the way to completing the task. He was the only one left. It would be a waste to give up now and temporarily lose access to her pocket space.
Bei Nuan was conflicted over what to do. Finally, in a voice that was barely audible, she muttered to herself, "Fine, I'll let you kiss me."
Lu Xingchi didn't turn his head. Looking at the road ahead, he smiled.
At noon, the team stopped by a grove of trees for lunch. Lu Xingchi had already thought about what he wanted for his first wish.
As Bei Nuan expected, his first wish was a strawberry-flavored kiss.
Lu Xingchi's excuse was that he was tired from driving and wanted to take a stroll. He took Bei Nuan with him when he left the jeep.
They walked for a while and didn't stop until they were out of Du Ruo and the others' sight.
While looking for strawberry-flavored candy, Bei Nuan asked, "Strawberry-flavored?"
Lu Xingchi put his arm on her waist and pulled her to his chest. He lowered his head to look at her. He looked at her as if she was prey that he had already caught.
The hunter was quite generous to his prey. "It doesn't have to be strawberry-flavored. You can choose any flavor. I'm fine with anything."
Alright, that's what you said.
Bei Nuan rummaged through her pocket space without changing her expression, found a box of candy, tore off the wrapping in her pocket space, and only took out the candy.
Bei Nuan raised her hand and offered up an unremarkable-looking candy on her palm.
"Come here, come a little closer." Bei Nuan blushed a bit.
Lu Xingchi stared at her. His voice was a bit hoarse. "Okay."
He lowered his head. They were so close that his thin lips were almost touching hers.
Bei Nuan closed her eyes, made up her mind, resolutely put the candy in her mouth, and quickly kissed Lu Xingchi.
