Chapter 68

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

Bai Zhi’s heart was filled with anxiety. After leaving the assembly hall, even her footsteps sounded heavy and downtrodden.

She mulled over Xiao Yang’s words as well as the two prison guards’ subtle, micro-expressions. Various hypotheses arose in her heart.

Why did Di Qing request to hear Xiao Yang’s rules? Why now?

If she’s not mistaken, they seem to be looking for someone—Di Qing had once said that they were here to take revenge. If what they said was true, then the reason they are looking for a specific person is for personal reasons, not to win the game. (See c63)

Is the person that they’re looking for a friend or foe?

If they can identify this person by their rule… then could the person they’re looking for be… the warden?

Do the prison guards want to kill the warden?

Bai Zhi shook her head as if trying to shake off the absurdity of her conclusion. She wanted to ask them directly, but she knew that there was no way that Di Qing would give her an honest answer. He might even have her killed for touching his bottom line…

She still remembered the scrutiny he put her under when she pointed out the possible dangers of being a prison guard. His expression at the time… He looked as if he was seriously considering whether or not to kill her.

Furthermore, the charge in his file was “indiscriminate killing”.

She shivered uncontrollably. No matter what, she had to be careful not to expose or say too much in front of the two prison guards.

Bai Zhi was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn’t notice someone calling her name.

“Ah-Zhi, Ah-Zhi…” Xiang Chen softly called out to her from behind a tree.

She came to her senses, “Xiang Chen, what are you doing over there?”

“Ah-Zhi, long time no see…” The youth couldn’t hold back his smile. His naturally curly hair gently bounced in the breeze. “I missed you…”

Bai Zhi blushed. She thought of their last meeting when he helped Li Xiao… Her skin prickled.

(Pretty sure their last meeting was a day ago when she “rescued” him from Xiao Yang. Anyway, she’s thinking about the infirmary scene with Li Xiao in c51. I guess the author only counts the sex scenes… as one does.)

She bit her lip and attempted to change the subject, “You guys have to be careful tonight… What are your plans if Xiao Yang decides to follow you?”

Xiang Chen didn’t stray from his intended subject. He continued his line of questioning, “Will I get any rewards for checking out the secret doors?” The youth’s voice was innocent, but there was a hint of shyness and suggestion.

He took a step towards her. Cupping her cheeks in both hands, he pressed his forehead against hers.

His face was so close—her entire field of vision was filled with just him… His flawless skin, his perplexed expression, and his desirous eyes.

“Ah-Zhi, I missed you so much…” He repeated.

The next moment, his soft lips sealed over her own, and his dextrous tongue penetrated her mouth. His tongue teased her carefully then thrust in as if simulating intercourse. He continued fucking her mouth with his tongue nonstop.

Her cheeks turned red, and she gently tried to push the boy away. But to no avail, the boy only deepened the kiss, sucking at her until he had all but sucked her dry. Only then did he let her go.

Bai Zhi gasped for breath. All strength left her—her legs felt soft like jelly—she could barely hold herself upright. “Xiang Chen… You—”

“Ah-zhi… Ah-Zhi…” The youth pecked light kisses all across her face while calling her name. His voice turned hoarse with desire.

Bai Zhi shook her addled brain, “Xiang Chen, control yourself… We’re still outside…”

“Mm, I know…” Xiang Chen panted heavily. He rested his head on her shoulder; his curly hair scratched at her skin. Wrapping his arms around her slender waist, he pressed their bodies together and gently ground his hips against her. “After we survey those secret doors, will you come to find me? I really, really missed you… I can’t stand it any longer… Ah-Zhi…”

The youth’s warm, sincere confession touched her. Her cheeks grew so hot, she could almost cook an egg. “O-okay… You—you let me go first…” she stammered.

“You promised, okay? You can’t go back on your word.” Xiang Chen sucked greedily on her earlobe, reminding her over and over.

“Mm…” Bai Zhi felt a little wetness between her legs. Embarrassed, she squeezed her legs together and nodded without looking at him, “You— Be careful tonight…”
