Bao Gucheng originally spread his arms, ready to catch the falling Zuzi.

Who knew the sudden phone call would startle him, causing Zuzi to elegantly turn mid-air before landing...

His arms were left hanging.

With a slightly displeased twitch at the corner of his lips, the man glanced at the watch screen with a somewhat resentful gaze, "Who lacks the vision to disturb you in the middle of the night?"

Even he’d rather avoid phone harassment, opting to jump through windows instead.

Zuzi chuckled, "No worries, Ancestor won’t pick up. Let’s drink... ahem, have some soup instead."

Seeing Zuzi coldly disregard the caller, Bao Gucheng finally felt a bit better, personally bringing out the soup bowl to serve her.

Knowing she liked peach blossom flavor, he specially added a few drops of peach blossom brew and fresh peach juice, even sprinkling a few fresh peach petals on the soup — the ambiance was just perfect.

Zuzi kindly took a sip, "Mmm, very good. Xiao Chenger, how did you make this taste?"

Under the moonlight, her wrist holding the soup appeared exceptionally fair and jade-like, soft and adorable, making Bao Gucheng’s heart flutter uncontrollably.

His voice couldn’t help but turn a bit hoarse, "I have an even better taste. Do you want to try it?"

He slowly approached her, the masculinity in his breath mixed with a faint peach fragrance. Before arriving, he had meticulously researched how to make the broth more to her liking, repeatedly tasting various peach-flavored ingredients, discarding countless versions before finally creating this fresh and delicious soup.

Between his lips and teeth, there was an even fresher peach blossom taste than in the soup. Woman, do you want to try?

Zuzi’s eyebrows lightly flickered, her lashes fluttered, and the corners of her lips curved with delight.

Just as she was about to respond, the watch once again untimely vibrated, "Buzz buzz buzz..."

Even more urgent and persistent than before.

Bao Gucheng: "..."

The damn watch, ruining the atmosphere again.

Who deliberately ruins his plans in the middle of the night?

He was only a few inches away from Zuzi, his gaze glanced over her jade wrist, clearly seeing the two characters "Xiao Yu."

Gu Yuzhi?!

Does that guy have a screw loose and need clarification?

The man, disrupted from a beautiful moment, brewed a burning anger.

Zuzi, however, stared at the incoming call screen, neither answering nor dismissing it, her brows slightly knitted with a light sigh:

"Xiao Yu, Ancestor knows you have something in your heart, but the things you want to know, Ancestor can’t disclose. Speaking out from Ancestor wouldn’t be good for you..."

Endure.

Endure.

Ah, withholding spoilers is truly strenuous.

Bao Gucheng was unsure of her dilemma, but his mounting displeasure toward Gu Yuzhi demanded a release. He said in a deep voice, "Let me answer."

If language could become knives, he wanted to throw ten thousand at Gu Yuzhi right now!

Zuzi’s Phoenix Eyes blinked, and her brows suddenly relaxed, "Oh right, Ancestor can’t say, but Xiao Chenger can. Very well, Xiao Chenger, you do it."

She intended to remove the watch and let Bao Gucheng use it.

Unexpectedly, Bao Gucheng silently grasped her jade wrist, pulling her entire arm closer to his face, lips pressed against the watch screen as he answered.

Then, with a hoarse voice towards the phone’s other end, he said, "What is it? Speak!"

Meanwhile, he naturally sat on the bed, effortlessly bringing Zuzi’s light body into his embrace, seating her steadily on his knee.

Mm, it was purely for the convenience of answering the phone, that’s all!
