Chapter 513: 258 Delicious (First Update)
Gu Jiao was startled by this sudden movement, but she didn’t resist.
The moment his warm palm cupped the back of her head, she seemed unable to move.
She stared wide-eyed, letting his motion envelop her.
Having lived two lifetimes, she had never been this intimate with anyone, nor had anyone ever been so unrestrained in front of her.
Her code name was Shadow, a killing machine within the Organization. She liked collecting handsome men, but only ever for a feast to her eyes, as her foster father once said that men were poison, bitter and astringent, and it was better just to look without touching.
But tonight, she tasted this poison.
Soft and moisturized, with a hint of floral wine and the distinctive sweetness that belonged solely to him. Not bitter at all.
Her Godfather lied.
Men were clearly delicious.
…No, he was delicious.
The night sky was tender, and so was the moonlight.
Gu Jiao gently pressed against him with one hand propping her chin, staring at him without blinking, savoring the taste lingering from before and smiling at the corners of her lips.
Xiao Liulang was asleep, his chest rising and falling gently with every breath.
His young body was vivid with youthful vigor, its radiant heat like a blazing sun, seeming to fill the entire room.
He’s asleep right? So he wouldn’t hear anything she said.

Gu Jiao’s eyes cunningly moved about, she bent down and clung to him, with an evil smile, sensually whispered in his ear: “Your waist isn’t a waist, it’s a deadly curved blade.”
Xiao Liulang breathed evenly.
Gu Jiao then aimed at his long legs, with two playful fingers gliding along them, and continued her teasing whisper: “Your legs aren’t legs, they’re the spring waters of Saina Riverside.”
Oops, the voice was a bit loud!
She swiftly buried her head under the covers.
Xiao Liulang slept soundly.
Assured he wasn’t disturbed, Gu Jiao poked her head out of the covers, leaned close to his ear and softly said: “You are really… delicious.”
Then she lay down next to him, closed her eyes, and fell asleep, snoring lightly.
Half conscious, half dreaming, she felt a warm breath close by, followed by a light pressure on her lips.
Well, she must be dreaming because he was too delicious.
…
What Gu Jiao didn’t know was that she really began to have a dream after falling asleep.
She dreamt of Xiao Liulang again. But this time there was no scandalous scene, instead, Xiao Liulang was attending the Luming Banquet at the Imperial Palace.
The Luming Banquet was a feast hosted by the emperor for all newly graduated scholars the day after the exam results were published. Its purpose was to celebrate their achievements, show imperial grace, and establish diplomatic relationships. No matter where the scholars came from, after the Luming Banquet, they all became imperial scholars.
Xiao Liulang’s humble origins made him the target of envy when he came out top in the exams. Jealousy often comes with success, and he suddenly received a lot of unwelcome attention.
The first part of the dream was about Xiao Liulang being subjected to sneers and ridicule. Xiao Liulang himself didn’t care, so it didn’t feel like much of a blow. However, soon after, Xiao Liulang was summoned by the crown prince.
On the way to the East Palace, a white cat fell from a tree and landed perched on Xiao Liulang’s shoulder.
Only then did Gu Jiao dream that Xiao Liulang was afraid of cats. Xiao Liulang instinctively shook the cat off. The cat cried out when it hit the ground and ran off in fright.
At that moment, the Princess of Ning just happened to be passing by.
The frightened cat ran into the belly of the pregnant princess, knocking her over. The princess was three months pregnant and already in a delicate condition. The fall caused her to lose the baby.
The cat was frightened because of Xiao Liulang which led him to unfortunately carry the blame for the death of the imperial grandchild. On his very first day as the top graduate, his title was stripped away by the emperor and he was thrown into the Imperial Prison.
This situation was incredibly frustrating. Even the emperor understood that Xiao Liulang didn’t mean to hurt anyone. But did that matter? Killing unintentionally was still killing.
Palace regulations were clear, he was just unlucky.
Gu Jiao was frustrated by this dream, unusually unawakened by her biological clock.
When she woke up, it was already daylight, and Xiao Liulang was no longer in the room. His crimson silk robe on the chair was evidence that he had indeed stayed the night.
Gu Jiao dressed herself and went to the antique well to fetch water for bathing.
But the water was already prepared. It was her bronze basin, and her washcloth was on the rim. The surface of the water was giving off a slight heat, as if it had just been poured.
The housemaid walked over with a basket of dried chili peppers, looked back towards the stove, smiled and said to Gu Jiao: “The Master had it prepared. As soon as he heard a sound from your room, he immediately had the hot water brought out.”
