Chapter 249: I Told You, Tonight Is My Treat.

Jin Xuechu stared at Yan Qingsi in astonishment. As the door closed, he stood outside, forgetting why he returned here tonight.

Yan Qingsi laughed. It was true that you can bump into people you know anywhere!

In the past, she saw Jin Xuechu having rigorous activities 1 with someone on the balcony, then it was his turn to see her tangled up with Yue Tingfeng. Was it... karma?

Yue Tingfeng gave Yan Qingsi a bite. “What are you laughing about in this situation?”

Yan Qingsi’s hand twirled around Yue Tingfeng’s hair. “I’m just thinking that on such a wonderful moment, treating a handsome guy to stay the night seems like a good choice...”

Yue Tingfeng lifted Yan Qingsi off the floor. “You should’ve made this choice a long time ago. So many wonderful nights were wasted.”

Yan Qingsi started laughing. “That is why I’m borrowing you for tonight, not lending you off to your mother...”

Yue Tingfeng help Yan Qingsi up with an arm and flipped the light switch on with his free hand. The room lit up. The interior designs and decorations were totally renewed. Other than a light lingering scent of formaldehyde, there were no other odors.

After the renovation, what was originally a small, single-room apartment, resembled a luxurious presidential suite.

Yan Qingsi looked around the unfamiliar room with mixed feelings. This was once the only place she could stay, but that was seemingly gone.

When she came to her senses, she was already thrown on the bed by Yue Tingfeng.

Yue Tingfeng pushed himself onto her. “Yan Qingsi, you should take me seriously. What’s with you and these constant distractions?”

Yan Qingsi stretched out her arms, hooked them around Yue Tingfeng’s neck. “I was thinking, what posture would be better.”

Yue Tingfeng sneered. “I’m a moron if I believe you.”

He lifted up Yan Qingsi’s skirt. “Since I’ve already held it in for so long, no harm waiting a little more. Mind enlightening me on what happened between you and Helan Fangnian in country M?”

Yan Qingsi perked her eyebrows. Yue Tingfeng could not resist asking this question.

She looked at Yue Tingfeng’s jet black eyes. “Two youngsters, trapped in similar circumstances, stuck at a place filled with dangers and evil. We trusted and helped each other. Developing feelings for each other under such circumstances, isn’t that normal?”

Unfortunately, those feelings were crushed to pieces by reality before it could develop further into love.

The crisis was then resolved. He returned to his upper-class society while she returned to her battlefield.

Truthfully, it could have been better to not know each other at all.

Yue Tingfeng’s could not help but bubble up with sourness. That bitterness rushed forcefully into his mouth, to the point of softening his teeth 1.

Yan Qingsi’s nonchalant statement caused Yue Tingfeng to be filled with heartache and envy. Helan Fangnian and she experienced the worst time of their life together, while he was indulging himself in luxuries and carnal pleasures. Yue Tingfeng wanted to rage at her but he realized that he was in no position to do so, neither was he qualified.

He thought it was funny that he, Yue Tingfeng, was actually underqualified for something.

However, he was able to provide what Helan Fangnian could not. Yue Tingfeng stared at Yan Qingsi. “You want fame, you want the best actress award, I can give you all.”

Yan Qingsi covered Yue Tingfeng’s mouth, with seductive breath and a temptress’ charms she answered, “In this situation, it is better if you don’t say anything...”

Yan Qingsi’s hands burrowed into Yue Tingfeng’s clothes, with dextrous fingers, she brushed over Yue Tingfeng’s skin with her lightly calloused fingertips, causing him to tremble slightly.

Yue Tingfeng’s breath quickened, then moved on to tear apart Yan Qingsi’s clothes in a barbaric manner.

Yan Qingsi flipped Yue Tingfeng over all of sudden, pinning him down and placed her fingers over Yue Tingfeng’s lips saying, “I told you, it’s my treat.”

Sourness in this case is used by the author as a descriptor to the feeling of envy. The word 酸 (sour) most likely originated from Aesop’s fables, ‘The Fox and The Grapes’, whereby the word sour was eventually linked with envy and some other negative emotions in modern usage.
