Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes (Love You Seven Times)

Chapter 38

I handed the jar of wine back to Zihui. “The first gulp of this wine that has been hidden for so many years must be from you. The flavor now must be different from the flavor back then.”

Zihui hung his head. He bitterly laughed. “I don’t need to taste it; I already know.”

“Hehe, in the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone in front of the flowers and under the moon, talking and singing together and also having the same thoughts. Very good, very good.”

From behind came a strange laugh. I turned and saw Chu Kong standing there. The crimson whip in his hand seemed violent.

Zihui turned and looked at Chu Kong. Then he turned around again, looked at me, and said, “The wine has a surprise.”

After saying that, he grabbed my hand, raised his own, and shoved the opening of the jar into my mouth. I instantly tasted the sweetness of the wine as it poured down my throat.

A piercing sound sliced through the air. Zihui barely escaped Chu Kong’s whip. He smiled with squinted eyes. “You two should go see the stars. I want to go back and sleep.”

After saying that, he waved and disappeared into the night.

Meanwhile, I was choking on the wine. I clutched my chest and coughed. After a moment, I felt a warmth slide down my throat into my stomach. Then it came back up like a punch to the head… Wait, wait, what did Zihui say? The wine had a surprise? He prepared this wine for the day he married. In that kind of scenery, what kind of wine should be drunk? Even with only the hair on my head, I knew what kind of wine it was!

But this was used by the local people of this small town, ah! He also wanted Chu Kong and I to be wild, wild, wild…wild…together?!

Chu Kong didn’t know what I had drunk. He was still lecturing me. “You really forget fast. That lifetime, you fell into his trap, now you want to fall into his trap again, do you? A little gift and a small favor can buy you. Very good; really, well done!”

Sweat slowly began to form on my forehead. This situation was really bad, ah…

Seeing that I didn’t speak for half a day, Chu Kong squatted down beside me. “You really… What’s the matter with you?”

His face was serious. His hand touched my forehead. I saw a hidden anger light in his eyes.

“What tricks did that guy play again?!”

“There’s a drug in the wine.”

At first, I wanted to deceive Chu Kong and then run. But this mouth of mine seemed like it lost all control, just blurting out whatever it wanted. I couldn’t even cover it up to mute myself.

Chu Kong picked up the jar of wine. He asked himself, “What kind of drug?”

“Spring…”

I slapped my hand across my mouth, but my mouth didn’t let itself be controlled. The two words that I thought in my heart came out through my teeth, just for Chu Kong’s ears to hear. “Spring…drug…”

Chu Kong was startled. His body suddenly softened and he sat down beside me. He looked coldly at me in silence. I covered my mouth and swallowed, nervously waiting for his response. I never thought that after such a long period of silence, he’d ask me, “Then…then what do we do?”

Aside from you helping me, what else is there to do?! I was roaring it in my heart, but didn’t expect that my mouth would slip up on me again. “You need to help me, of course!”

The air was silent. Our warm breath formed white mist in the cold air. We stared at each other for a while, and finally, I looked away. I slapped my mouth a few times.
