The night grew deeper.
Dai Chengfeng walked along the stone path leading to Ning Rongrong's room, his mind still replaying the scene from moments ago…
Xiao Wu's long leg, glowing with a lustrous sheen under the moonlight, its lines astonishingly smooth, and the extra expanse of her fair skin inadvertently revealed as he fastened the anklet…
"Indeed, worthy of being a Soft Bone Rabbit…"
Dai Chengfeng unconsciously rubbed his fingertips. "Such leg proportions… simply perfect. Flexible, slender, evenly toned muscles, dazzlingly white under the moonlight…"
As he thought about it, a sense of absurdity welled up within him.
After all, considering his relationship with Xiao Wu, she shouldn't have let him help her.
"What could be the reason?"
In the end, Dai Chengfeng couldn't figure it out. "Forget it, no more thinking…"
By now, Ning Rongrong's residence was just ahead.
Warm light shone through the window, and faintly, one could hear the girl humming a little tune.
Dai Chengfeng adjusted his slightly wrinkled robe and lightly knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" came Ning Rongrong's crisp, pleasant voice tinged with a hint of childish charm from inside.
"It's me, Dai Chengfeng."
The door creaked open, and Ning Rongrong peeked out halfway. She wore a canary-yellow silk nightgown, her skin as fair as snow, radiant and enchanting.
Seeing Dai Chengfeng, her large, crystal-clear eyes immediately lit up, her face breaking into an unrestrained joyful smile.
"Why are you here? Come in quickly!" She stepped aside, her tone cheerful.
Dai Chengfeng entered the room, greeted by a faint, sweet fragrance that belonged to Ning Rongrong.
The room was decorated warmly and elegantly, filled with various expensive trinkets.
"No particular reason, I just saw a little trinket while shopping and thought it would suit you."
Dai Chengfeng smiled, taking out the small pagoda-shaped pendant carved from blue crystal.
Under the bright soul-guided lamp in the room, the crystal refracted even more brilliant seven-colored light.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Ning Rongrong's attention was instantly captured. She joyfully took the pendant, fondling it lovingly. "This light… it's like the radiance of our Seven Treasures Pagoda!"
"Dai Chengfeng, did you specially buy this for me?"
"Mm, seeing it reminded me of you, so I bought it. Do you like it?"
"I love it! I really love it!"
Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously, like a child who had received their favorite toy. She looked up, her eyes curving into crescents, suddenly tiptoeing and quickly planting a kiss on Dai Chengfeng's cheek.
"Smooch~"
The soft, moist touch parted as quickly as it came.
Dai Chengfeng was slightly taken aback.
And Ning Rongrong, after kissing him, felt a bit embarrassed herself, her cheeks flushing red. But she still feigned composure, huffing:
"As a reward for your thoughtfulness, this young lady will give you something special!"
As she spoke, she waved her little fist, pretending to be fierce, but her sparkling eyes and reddened ears betrayed her shyness.
Dai Chengfeng chuckled, ruffling her hair: "Alright. Rest early, I'm leaving."
"Mm! Good night!" Ning Rongrong held the pendant happily, escorting him to the door.
After leaving Ning Rongrong's pavilion, Dai Chengfeng's smile faded slightly as he headed towards Hu Liena's residence.
Unlike Ning Rongrong's bright and lively quarters, Hu Liena's place was quieter.
He had just reached the courtyard gate when the bamboo gate silently opened.
Hu Liena seemed to have already sensed his arrival, leaning against the doorway, watching him with a teasing smile.
She had changed into a loose crimson home robe, her damp chestnut hair casually draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of laziness to her usual allure.
Her peach blossom eyes shimmered with flowing light…
"So late at night, what wind brings our busy man to my place?"
Her voice carried its characteristic magnetism.
Dai Chengfeng entered the small courtyard, closing the gate behind him.
He took out the silver chain with the fox-shaped pendant, presenting it to her: "For you. Seeing it made me think of you."
Hu Liena's gaze fell on the mischievous little fox pendant, her lips curling into a smile.
Instead of reaching for it immediately, she extended her slender fingers, gently hooking onto Dai Chengfeng's hand holding the necklace, pulling him closer with slight force.
"Like me?"
She tilted her face up, her breath fragrant like orchids, "Are you saying… I'm very cunning?"
They were so close that they could almost feel each other's body heat.
Dai Chengfeng could clearly smell the scent of her bath.
He lowered his head, looking at her face so near, his free hand naturally wrapping around Hu Liena's slender waist.
Hu Liena chuckled softly, showing no resistance to his actions, instead pressing her body closer.
"Then help me put it on?"
She took the necklace from him, turned around, facing away from Dai Chengfeng, slightly lowering her head, brushing her thick, damp hair to one side, revealing a stretch of fair, elegant neck.
Dai Chengfeng took the necklace, occasionally brushing her delicate skin at the nape of her neck with his fingertips.
He carefully fastened the clasp, the little silver fox hanging perfectly below her exquisite collarbone.
As soon as Dai Chengfeng finished putting it on, Hu Liena turned around, her arms coiling around his neck like serpents, her eyes shimmering with seductive charm: "Do I look good?"
"You look good."
Dai Chengfeng sincerely praised her, tightening his hold around her waist.
The atmosphere instantly became ambiguous.
Hu Liena actively tiptoed, kissing his lips.
This kiss carried Hu Liena's unique passion and aggression.
Dai Chengfeng quickly took the lead, deeply responding.
Unbeknownst to them, they had moved from the gate to the interior, collapsing on the soft bed.
Half-undressed, their breaths intertwined.
Hu Liena's nightgown straps slid off her shoulders; her gaze was hazy, her cheeks flushed…
After a long while, until both were somewhat out of breath, Dai Chengfeng propped himself up.
Hu Liena's eyes were dreamy, her swollen red lips gently caressing Dai Chengfeng's cheek, her voice hoarse:
"Coming so late at night, just to deliver a necklace?"
Dai Chengfeng leaned down, pecking her lips once more, chuckling lowly: "Mainly because I missed you."
"Flatterer."
Hu Liena scolded him with a glare, pushing him gently.
"Hurry up, Zhuqing must be waiting anxiously."
Dai Chengfeng helped her adjust her slipped robe, planting another kiss on her forehead before getting up to straighten his clothes.
"Rest well."
Leaving Hu Liena's tranquil courtyard, the night breeze cooled the heat within him slightly.
He took a deep breath, heading towards Zhu Zhuqing's residence, which was the most secluded and quiet.
The light in her room was dim.
Dai Chengfeng knocked on the door, receiving a cold response from inside: "Come in."
Opening the door, he saw Zhu Zhuqing sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion by the window, seemingly having just finished meditating.
She wore a tight black training outfit, highlighting her graceful figure perfectly.
Seeing Dai Chengfeng, a barely noticeable flicker passed through her cool eyes.
"Is there something?" Her voice was concise.
