Chapter 164: Aftermath of the Ancient Instance
Ji Ning returned to the Wooden Cabin, but it felt like a folder holding several gigabytes of video had been pasted into her brain, suddenly flooding it with new content.
Before she could sort through her thoughts, the message notifications on the system jumped frantically.
When she clicked it open, there weren't just messages from the four men; there was also a friend request.
Seeing Qin Yanshu's name, all the memories concerning him surged out like a tide.
Imperial Physician Qin… unblocking milk ducts… a body check that went all the way to the bed…
Ji Ning's face instantly flushed scarlet with shame, and she covered her cheeks with both hands, at a loss.
The amount of information in those memories was too much. Originally, she hadn't had anything going on with that icy beauty Qin Yanshu, but then a bug happened, and the two of them were passionately entangled in a tryst within the ancient setting.
However, they'd had no choice in that situation. Qin Yanshu had been forced to give himself to save her, and she ought to thank him instead.
Thinking of that, Ji Ning accepted Qin Yanshu's friend request and proactively sent the first ice-breaking message.
Ji Ning: Thank you so much, thank you for being willing to save me.
Qin Yanshu stared at that sentence for a long while, and the delight that had originally tinged his face gradually faded.
Because Ji Ning's message really looked like she was handing him a nice-guy card.
But the thing he worried about most had now been confirmed on the good side—Ji Ning still remembered what happened in the ancient time-space.
For the sake of that, Qin Yanshu decided to accept the nice-guy card.
Qin Yanshu: You're welcome. Just glad you made it back.
Ji Ning nodded, thinking to herself: yep, that's his flavor. Qin Yanshu was still aloof Qin Yanshu; even after drinking her milk and devouring her completely, that detached feeling hadn't changed.
But instead, Ji Ning felt a little more at ease.
Maybe it was realizing how much Qin Yanshu had sacrificed for her, or maybe it was unlocking the image of him stripped bare in bed. Even though their conversation felt awkward at the moment, she dared to get a bit closer to him than before.
The slowly surfacing ancient memories made her start to feel curious about him.
Ji Ning: But… does Jiang Ting know about what happened between us?
Qin Yanshu: He knows.
Ji Ning: He looks all mature, steady, and calculating, but he's actually nothing more than a little vinegar jar.
Qin Yanshu: Mm.
Ji Ning: So… did he get jealous of you?
Qin Yanshu: Yes.
Ji Ning: Hahahahaha, Jiang Ting! Getting jealous of even his own good bro!
Qin Yanshu: It's fine, I struck back.
Ji Ning: Ah? How did you strike back?
Qin Yanshu: I said we did it every day, many times.
Ji Ning: !
Ji Ning's eyes went round. She never imagined Qin Yanshu would crack that kind of joke—and to Jiang Ting, no less. She couldn't quite picture that scene.
Jiang Ting and Qin Yanshu standing together were like two cold, expressionless robots. But put them together, and one loved getting jealous while the other exaggerated the facts to tease the other.
They were practically like two proud peacocks in the animal kingdom, fanning their wings and shaking their tails at each other during courtship.
Imagining that scene and then overlaying Jiang Ting's and Qin Yanshu's faces onto it, Ji Ning laughed nonstop before opening the other men's chat windows one by one to reply.
Most of them were normal, just asking about Ji Ning's recovery. Only Sheng Churan's chat window stood out like a glorious blossom.
Sheng Churan: Wife, my heart is bitter.
Sheng Churan: I thought I was the luckiest one, but in the end, I get left high and dry?
Sheng Churan: Fuck, I'm still hard right now.
Sheng Churan: So this is what it's like being a husband? Love it, love it.
Ji Ning felt both heartache and amusement, and hurriedly replied.
Ji Ning: Don't be mad, don't be mad, I'll come comfort you, Heartthrob!
Ji Ning: Darling~
Ji Ning: Is this okay? Feeling any better?
Ji Ning: Or should we video call so you can hear me call you that? Wanna?
Sheng Churan didn't reply with a message. He directly sent a video request.
Ji Ning picked up. Seeing that perfectly expression-managed handsome face of his so angry that his complexion had darkened, she comforted him while laughing: "Darling, don't be mad!"
Only when he actually heard her call him 'darling' did Sheng Churan's expression ease up a bit.
Sheng Churan was beautiful when he smiled, but she hadn't expected that even his frown was breathtakingly handsome. Ji Ning cupped her cheeks and drank in his divine features, promising profusely: "Let's not be angry, okay? We'll make up for it the next time we meet."
Sheng Churan was easy to coax. The frustration of his unfulfilled desires vanished quickly, and his heart filled with anticipation for the Survival Game to start soon.
