"Mmm… you bad guy… I… I can't breathe anymore!"
After a long while, until Qian Renxue was completely out of breath and used the last bit of her embarrassed strength to push Dai Chengfeng away, the kiss finally came to an end.
At this moment, Qian Renxue's body was completely limp, her face flushed like rosy clouds. Her golden eyes shimmered with a dazed look from being ravished, still carrying traces of lingering indignation as she glared fiercely at Dai Chengfeng.
"I'm leaving!"
With that, Qian Renxue turned around without looking back and hurriedly left.
She feared that if she stayed any longer, Dai Chengfeng would catch her again and take advantage.
Dai Chengfeng ultimately didn't stop her. Instead, he wore a lazy, lingering smile on his lips, watching Qian Renxue disappear into the night like a startled deer, vanishing among the courtyard's lush greenery after a few quick leaps.
The air was left with only a faint fragrance and the lingering warmth of her lips that seemed to still linger on his.
"Little angel, you won't escape my grasp…"
Standing silently in the courtyard for a moment longer, Dai Chengfeng finally chuckled softly, shook his head, and his figure quietly melted into the darkness.

The night grew deeper in the luxurious suite on the top floor of the Swan Hotel.
Upon returning to the hotel, Dai Chengfeng glanced at Bibi Dong's room across the hall, hesitated briefly, and ultimately decided not to enter. Instead, he carefully opened the door to his own room.
However, as soon as the lock emitted a faint click, he sensed something was amiss…
The door wasn't locked!
"The door isn't locked?"
Dai Chengfeng's heart tightened instantly, becoming highly alert. After all, he was certain he had locked the door when he left.
But soon, Dai Chengfeng realized he didn't sense any killing intent. Instead, there was an extremely familiar presence, tinged with a playful mischief, lurking in the shadows of the room.
Just as he paused his steps and scanned the dimly lit room—
Whoosh!
A dazzling streak of golden light suddenly shot out from behind the corner of the sofa!
It hit Dai Chengfeng's open arms with pinpoint accuracy and considerable force.
His arms were filled with a heavy, furry sensation.
Instinctively steadying it, he immediately felt warmth and elasticity in his embrace, along with a familiar sweet fragrance lingering around his nose.
Looking down, he saw that the one who had crashed into him was none other than Qiu'er.
At this moment, the little critter's already round and adorable face blinked its incredibly lively big eyes, exuding a mischievous glee as if reveling in chaos.
Although the third eye wasn't open, it seemed to carry a sly implication.
"What's wrong?"
Dai Chengfeng gently rubbed Qiu'er's fluffy little head, asking curiously.
Meow meow~
Qiu'er tilted her tiny head slightly, blinked her expressive eyes at Dai Chengfeng in a very human-like manner, and lightly tapped her little paws on his chest.
Her gaze practically translated into:
"Hehe, Dai Chengfeng, you're—done—for!"
"Hmm?"
Dai Chengfeng froze for a moment, then tensed up, quickly scanning the deeper parts of the room.
But just at that moment…
A clear, languid, teasing female voice, brimming with invisible pressure, dropped like the coldest spring water:
"Qiu'er is right."
"You are indeed—done—for."
In the pitch-black living room, seated elegantly on the large sofa like a regal queen, was a figure.
She wore a perfectly tailored deep purple dress that accentuated her graceful and flawless curves.
The skirt naturally draped down, covering her long, straight legs. In the dim light, only the tips of her equally deep purple high heels were visible.
She lounged lazily against the back of the sofa, one hand casually resting on the armrest while the other elegantly held a crystal-clear wine glass.
Inside the glass was a small amount of dark red wine, which swirled with eerie traces along the sides as she lightly moved her fingers.
Dai Chengfeng's gaze shifted upward.
First, he couldn't help but notice her stunning beauty, impossible to ignore even in the darkness.
Her skin was as white as snow, glowing with a hazy cold light under the moonlight, creating a striking visual contrast with her deep purple dress.
Her face had sharp and perfect contours, with a smooth and powerful jawline radiating undeniable authority.
Her long hair wasn't tied up tonight, but instead cascaded freely over her shoulders and the back of the sofa. A few strands fell near her delicate collarbone, adding a touch of effortless allure and casual charm.
Her nose was high and straight, her lips a pale rose color, beautifully shaped, and now curved into a slight smirk.
It wasn't a smile but rather a silent mockery or anticipation of the "show" about to unfold.
Her violet eyes stared unwaveringly at Dai Chengfeng, filled with knowing amusement and a hint of…
Chilling composure, as though waiting for prey to walk into her trap.
"Teacher?"
Dai Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat. His face quickly adjusted to show a mixture of surprise and appropriate respect. "You… what are you doing here?"
As he spoke, he casually closed the door behind him, trying to make his movements appear natural.
Bibi Dong set down her wine glass with a soft clink.
She didn't answer immediately but instead carefully scrutinized Dai Chengfeng once more, finally locking her gaze onto his face, which was desperately trying to conceal certain emotions.
"What am I doing here?"
Bibi Dong's crimson lips parted slightly as she slowly rose to her feet. Her dress swayed elegantly as she took deliberate steps toward him.
As the distance closed, the invisible pressure intensified.
"It's me here,"
Bibi Dong's voice lowered. "Did I interrupt your nightly rendezvous with some wild lovebirds?"
"So… I shouldn't be here?"
Hiss!!!!!
Instantly, Dai Chengfeng felt a chill run from his spine straight to the top of his head. His expression stiffened slightly despite his efforts to control his muscles, and his heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
Does Bibi Dong know about my affair with Qian Renxue?
No!
If she knew about my relationship with Qian Renxue, she wouldn't be calmly questioning me here right now—she'd have already torn me apart.
Realizing this, Dai Chengfeng forcefully suppressed the panic in his heart and quickly forced a strained, somewhat pitiful smile onto his face. "Teacher, what are you talking about?"
"What wild lovebirds?"
"I'm a stranger in Tian Dou City. Who could I possibly know?"
As he spoke, he walked naturally toward Bibi Dong. "Disturbing your rest this late is entirely my fault."
Dai Chengfeng reached out habitually to wrap his arms around Bibi Dong's waist.
However, Bibi Dong deftly sidestepped, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, her eyes openly showing disdain.
"Don't touch me. If you're not meeting wild lovebirds, then why do you smell like…"
She suddenly sniffed delicately with her refined nose:
"Dai Chengfeng, what's this smell on you? Why does it reek so strongly of green tangerines?"
