Chapter 81

Xu Nian was naturally skeptical of Ji Yuebai’s easily spoken claim of affection, finding it hard to believe without any proof. Fundamentally, she was skeptical that the mess left by the original character could be so easily resolved.

Yet, the way Ji Yuebai hugged her tightly, almost merging her into their own body, overwhelmed Xu Nian. The intoxicating fragrance emanating from Ji Yuebai enveloped her, sending her senses into a whirl.

Whether it was the warmth and intensity of Ji Yuebai’s hug or the crisp, refreshing scent that lingered at her nose, all of it made Xu Nian momentarily lost in a trance.

Xu Nian hugged Ji Yuebai tightly, pretending to be even more affectionate. She spoke with a voice full of emotion, “Yuebai, you like me too. I’m so happy. I’ll remember this day for my entire life.”

But ultimately, it turned out to be nothing more than a beautiful lie, too perfect to be real, which made the happiness feel like an illusion.

“Why can’t I just spend my life with Xu Nian like this?” Ji Yuebai suddenly thought, but immediately dismissed it as a foolish, self-deceptive thoughts.

Ji Yuebai slowly released the arms wrapped around Xu Nian, watching as she struggled to feign affection for her, and simply responded: “Okay.”

Xu Nian sensed a significant cooling in Ji Yuebai’s emotions and thought to herself: “Just as I thought, I was correct. Ji Yuebai is just humoring me, trying to gain my trust to break the spell that limits her freedom.”

But perhaps she had overacted earlier, leaving the unprepared Ji Yuebai unable to keep up with the act.

Regardless of whether it was genuine or not, if Ji Yuebai was willing to play along, Xu Nian saw an opportunity.

Her fingers traced her lips as she looked up at Ji Yuebai with a playful look, “Then, Yuebai, kiss me too.”

As expected, Ji Yuebai froze again.

Xu Nian had a plan. Since the mission required her to deceive Ji Yuebai both physically and emotionally, and didn’t specify the order, she decided to start with the easier task of physical deception, opening Ji Yuebai’s heart a bit before moving to the more challenging emotional deception.

Feeling quite like a cunning strategist, Xu Nian’s spirits lifted.

Seeing Ji Yuebai’s black eyes staring at her in confusion, she assumed Ji Yuebai was repulsed by the idea of intimacy with a snake demon like her. Recalling that Ji Yuebai in the script was a stubborn character, Xu Nian propped herself up on the bed and slowly leaned in, closing the distance until their noses almost touched, and she could see her own seductive, enticing reflection in Ji Yuebai’s clear, dark eyes.

Xu Nian, her voice seductive, provocatively challenged Ji Yuebai, “What’s the matter? Don’t you dare?”

Hiding her feelings until now, Ji Yuebai faced Xu Nian’s blatant flirtation and provocations. Despite her intentions for Xu Nian, she couldn’t resist such deliberate seduction. She didn’t want Xu Nian to indulge in this illusion only to wake up filled with regret.

“I just don’t want you to regret this,” Ji Yuebai’s voice unconsciously softened.

Xu Nian found it odd. How could such a beauty talk like this? It seemed like she was the one gaining the upper hand. Her tongue lightly brushed her lower lip: “Saying this makes me feel like your earlier confession of liking me was just a lie…”

Before Xu Nian could finish her rehearsed speech, her lips were suddenly sealed by a soft kiss.

As if penalizing her for her earlier comments, Ji Yuebai’s aggressive kiss and the forward movement of her knee forced Xu Nian’s legs to open as she knelt. Losing her balance, Xu Nian had no choice but to wrap her arms around Ji Yuebai’s neck for stability. Her natural flexibility, akin to that of a snake, made it hard for her to resist Ji Yuebai’s forceful advances, causing her to almost cling to Ji Yuebai’s body.
