Chapter 289 - Ning Zhi panicked and called out, “Lu Jue!” (1)
Edited by: Lulu

It was positive reinforcement.

Lu Jue made brown sugar soup for Ning Zhi every day for the next three days. Ning Zhi had no idea how much sugar he added, but regardless, her entire mouth was always full of sweetness.

Lu Jue was smart, too. When Ning Zhi expressed that she did not need any more of the brown sugar soup, Lu Jue would give her puppy eyes and even purposefully show her his fingers that turned red from the heat.

Whenever Ning Zhi finished drinking her brown sugar soup, Lu Jue would wait around and look at her eagerly.

His intention was clear. He, too, wanted to taste the brown sugar soup in Ning Zhi’s mouth.

Of course, Ning Zhi would not decline him. It wasn’t only because they both enjoyed it, but whenever she fed him, perhaps because of the novelty, there would also be little suns popping out above Lu Jue’s head.

During her period days alone, she had collected 450 more little suns from their kisses. That plus the 423 from the past, she now had a total of 873 little suns, which was sufficient for her next assignment.

That night, after Lu Jue had bathed, he casually dried his hair a bit whilst in his red silk pajamas before walking back inside the bathroom and hanging the towel back at its usual spot.

He then returned to their bedroom quickly and told Ning Zhi, slightly happy, “Zhizhi, cook brown sugar soup me.”

With all the perks he received during the last few days, Lu Jue had fallen in love with preparing brown sugar soup for Ning Zhi. He didn’t even mind if that meant sacrificing a little of his sleep time.

Ning Zhi, sitting on the side of the bed, quickly tossed her phone aside when she heard that and immediately stopped Lu Jue.

“No, don’t do that.”

Blinking blankly at her, Lu Jue realized what she had said and gave her an aggrieved look.

“I’ve already recovered, and my stomach doesn’t hurt anymore.” After a few days of brown sugar water, her throat and her mouth could no longer bear the sweetness.

Not wanting him to be upset, Ning Zhi wooed him. “Let’s wait until next month. You can make more next month when I have my period again.”

Lu Jue blinked. Next month, right?

He already started looking forward to the days next month when he gets to prepare brown sugar water for Ning Zhi again.

***

The night had gotten darker, and their surroundings quieted down.

Listening to the soft breathing coming from her side, Ning Zhi knew that Lu Jue had fallen asleep.

She summoned Overlord. “I’ve saved up enough little suns. 800, right?”

Overlord was so emotional that its milky voice was shaking. [Host, I don’t want to address you as Host anymore. I want to address you as Daddy.] Its host was so mighty that she was able to collect 800 little suns in such a short period of time.

Here Fugui was bragging to him with just the one golden cotton candy that it had collected just the day before. Overlord wanted to crush him with its 800 little suns later.

It could even lend Fugui 100 little suns for the time being. Fugui had yet to find itself a host and had been starving day in and day out because of it. Fugui promised it that it would double what it owed Overlord once it secured itself a host.

The overlord happily planned what it was going to do with its 800 little suns.

Ning Zh retorted, “Welp, if you can lower the little suns requirement by half next time, I can address you as Daddy as well.”

Overlord stammered. It would probably be twisting back and forth like a little child if it had a physical body. [I’ll stick with calling you Host then.] Ning Zhi harrumphed and begrudgingly handed 800 little suns to Overlord.

Looking at her little storage that was cleared out in an instant, Ning Zhi’s heart ached. The sparkling golden field had turned into just 73 little suns.

Ning Zhi had yet to finish lamenting over the loss before everything turned black around her. When she opened up her eyes again, she was already at a different place.

She was standing on a busy street with a lot of cars going back and forth. Ning Zhi was at a loss for a while there, having no idea where she was.

All she knew was that Lu Jue was most definitely nearby.
