Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Xiao Chenger, you’re so good; Boss of Ma Jia wants to wear more layers of Ma Jia to keep warm
Bao Gucheng’s gentle, husky voice caused a lock of hair by Zuzi’s ear to float up slightly, tickling her earlobe with a soft, itchy feeling.
"Mmm, this weather is indeed a bit hot, it seems I need to recite the Heart Clarity Spell..."
"What did Miss Zuzi say...?"
"Ah, nothing, Xiaochenger, I just suddenly remembered..." She looked around, "Where’s my little grass fish?"
Bao Gucheng’s lips curled up slightly.
What an extremely adorable little woman, her own sister has been missing for quite a while, and she’s only noticing now?
"She said she wanted to buy some study supplies, so I arranged for someone to take her to the bookstore. She’ll return to the hotel later, no need to worry."
"Ah? Study supplies? The little grass fish is really... diligent."
Zuzi sighed.
Bao Gucheng smiled, this sister is very sensible, and he is quite pleased.
With the little grass fish absent, he could experience the hotel’s large bed with her, comparing it to the smaller bed on the seventh floor of the Xi family, to see which one is softer and more like a cloud.
"So, shall I take you back to the hotel now?"
The man sincerely proposed the idea for the second time.
Zuzi lowered her eyes, pondering for a moment, yet an unexpected idea emerged in her mind—
"Xiaochenger, accompany me for a drink, are you coming?"
The man: "...???"
"Oh, didn’t we just sell a wine jar? The wine can’t be sold to them, I kept it."
Zuzi smiled mysteriously, magically pulling out a glass wine bottle, "Once this wine is opened, it can’t be stored, the flavor diminishes. It’s only delicious if drunk immediately. Is there something called a bar here in the Imperial City? Shall we go to the bar to drink?"
Bao Gucheng looked at the bottle, weighing three to four pounds...
He swallowed hard: "Bars are too crowded. Noisy."
Zuzi rested her chin on her hand, thinking: "Oh. Then is there anything like the peach woods in my backyard?"
Bao Gucheng: "In the Imperial City... there is none."
Ah.
You can’t drunkenly lie under the peach branches, what’s the point of drinking then?
Zuzi pouted slightly, but quickly came up with a new idea: "Got it, Xiaochenger, close your eyes, follow me."
Bao Gucheng: "..."
Zuzi took his hand and gently formed a seal with her fingers.
In an instant, the wind and clouds surged.
It seemed as though an airstream lifted them straight into the sky!
Behind them.
The bewildered Gu Shiyin, who had chased them out of the auction house, hoping to explain something to Bao Gucheng, looked around in confusion.
Mere seconds ago, through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, she saw them murmuring to each other on the street, unsure of what they were debating.
How did they disappear in the blink of an eye?!
An indescribable chill swept over her, as if she had encountered the greatest hurdle of her life, one she couldn’t handle or overcome.
She wrapped her arms around herself, wishing she could wear a few extra layers of Ma Jia to keep warm!
But clearly, Zuzi is a country girl who doesn’t even understand chess, what’s there to be afraid of?

Bao Gucheng kept his eyes closed, feeling the fierce wind roaring past his ears.
This kind of extreme thrill felt somewhat similar to the first time he piloted a fighter jet.
"Xiaochenger, you’re so obedient!"
Zuzi looked at Bao Gucheng, who earnestly kept his eyes shut the whole time, not peeking at all, and couldn’t help but lift her red lips in a brilliant smile.
Bao Gucheng’s lip corner twitched heavily, feeling the surroundings finally quiet down, the wind stopped, and their bodies stabilized, he then spoke in a deep voice: "Can I open them now?"
"Mmm, yes."
Bao Gucheng opened his eyes, his gaze stabbed by the brilliance of stars.
The starry sky was unprecedentedly close, as if one could reach out and pluck a star.
And they were lying within an impossibly soft cotton quilt...
Gazing at the starry sky!
