Chapter 38 part 1

Zihui really brought me to the flower house . But… I looked at the five story wooden house . On the balcony, there were many glamorous flowers filling the platform . I pointed at it and asked Zihui, “Is this the flower house that you talked about? Isn’t this where the people in town go for sacrifice?”

Zihui smiled . “This is also known locally as a flower house . A Xiang lady doesn’t want to go inside and take a look?”

“I want to hear Chu Kong’s words from his heart . ”

“Why hurry, a Xiang lady? When Chu Kong goes back to the inn and doesn’t see us, he’ll come looking . I asked the waiter to tell Chu Kong that we are here watching the stars . ”

Zihui raised the jar of wine . “Before he gets here, let’s drink a few cups of wine, alright?”

I wondered, “How do you know that he’ll go back to the inn?”

Zihui winked at me and smiled playfully . “If I didn’t know that, wouldn’t it be a waste for Chu Kong to give me his heart?”

I was silent for a moment, and then my gaze fell onto Zihui’s chest . I stared at it for a while . I took the jar of wine and said, “Everyone wants to live . I can understand what you were feeling at that time . Although, pursuing something that happened in the past has no meaning; Chu Kong isn’t going to say it and I also won’t bother to say it, but Zihui, you have to remember that this heart is stolen from Chu Kong . You set a trap for us when I was stupid . I won’t allow that to happen a second time . ”

“Ah . ”

Zihui was silent for a long time and then smiled . “You and Chu Kong are really a perfect match made in Heaven . You know, Chu Kong also told me what you just said . Only this time, I really just want to repay you without any ulterior motives . ”

I hesitated . Zihui turned and jumped onto the high balcony . I looked at the jar of wine in my hand and also jumped up .

“Let’s sit for a moment,” Zihui patted a spot beside him . I sat down and let my feet dangle . I unplugged the jar of wine and inhaled its scent . It immediately lifted my spirits .

“Good wine . Where did you buy it?”

“This isn’t bought . ”

Zihui looked up at the stars .

“Many years ago, I had been to this small town . This wine was personally made by me . I wanted to take it out and drink it on the day I married . ”

My mouth just touched the opening of the jar . After I heard that, my throat suddenly closed up like I was choking . I bore with the pain and put down the jar of wine . I looked at Zihui and saw him laughing . He said, “Drink, I can’t get married anymore . ”

I thought back to the female soul and asked, “Do you really not have a deceased wife? You don’t know a Luo?”

Zihui continued to smile . “In this life, I only loved one person, but that person… Even though I gave her my heart, I didn’t get that person . The day before we got married, she took my original heart and ran away . ”

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the distant stars . He said seriously, “I didn’t marry anyone, don’t have a wife, and also don’t know a Luo . ”

But that woman called a Luo knows Zihui .

Looking at his face, I couldn’t bear to say it .

The sweet wine drifted into my nose . It was a fresh and sweet taste, as if it traveled through time and space to tell me the longing of the person who made the wine .

I handed the jar of wine back to Zihui . “The first gulp of this wine that has been hidden for so many years must be from you . The flavor now must be different from the flavor back then . ”

Zihui hung his head . He bitterly laughed . “I don’t need to taste it; I already know . ”

“Hehe, in the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone in front of the flowers and under the moon, talking and singing together and also having the same thoughts . Very good, very good . ”

From behind came a strange laugh . I turned and saw Chu Kong standing there . The crimson whip in his hand seemed violent .

Zihui turned and looked at Chu Kong . Then he turned around again, looked at me, and said, “The wine has a surprise . ”

After saying that, he grabbed my hand, raised his own, and shoved the opening of the jar into my mouth . I instantly tasted the sweetness of the wine as it poured down my throat .

A piercing sound sliced through the air . Zihui barely escaped Chu Kong’s whip . He smiled with squinted eyes . “You two should go see the stars . I want to go back and sleep . ”

After saying that, he waved and disappeared into the night .

Meanwhile, I was choking on the wine . I clutched my chest and coughed . After a moment, I felt a warmth slide down my throat into my stomach . Then it came back up like a punch to the head… Wait, wait, what did Zihui say? The wine had a surprise? He prepared this wine for the day he married . In that kind of scenery, what kind of wine should be drunk? Even with only the hair on my head, I knew what kind of wine it was!

But this was used by the local people of this small town, ah! He also wanted Chu Kong and I to be wild, wild, wild…wild…together?!

Chu Kong didn’t know what I had drunk . He was still lecturing me . “You really forget fast . That lifetime, you fell into his trap, now you want to fall into his trap again, do you? A little gift and a small favor can buy you . Very good; really, well done!”

Sweat slowly began to form on my forehead . This situation was really bad, ah…

Seeing that I didn’t speak for half a day, Chu Kong squatted down beside me . “You really… What’s the matter with you?”

His face was serious . His hand touched my forehead . I saw a hidden anger light in his eyes .

“What tricks did that guy play again?!”

“There’s a drug in the wine . ”

At first, I wanted to deceive Chu Kong and then run . But this mouth of mine seemed like it lost all control, just blurting out whatever it wanted . I couldn’t even cover it up to mute myself .

Chu Kong picked up the jar of wine . He asked himself, “What kind of drug?”

“Spring…”

I slapped my hand across my mouth, but my mouth didn’t let itself be controlled . The two words that I thought in my heart came out through my teeth, just for Chu Kong’s ears to hear . “Spring…drug…”

Chu Kong was startled . His body suddenly softened and he sat down beside me . He looked coldly at me in silence . I covered my mouth and swallowed, nervously waiting for his response . I never thought that after such a long period of silence, he’d ask me, “Then…then what do we do?”
