Chapter 195: Chapter 194: Suffocating Maneuvers

Qu Tong had already exhausted a great deal of spiritual power on C9 Star, attended classes in the Pharmaceutical Department, and scrolled through the star network until she was overwhelmingly sleepy.

Only when she felt one side of the bed sink did Qu Tong turn her head and gave Si Yuting a glare before quickly falling into a deep sleep.

Si Yuting lay on the outer side, keeping a wide distance from Qu Tong, the faint scent at the tip of his nose and the sound of her shallow, steady breathing made him feel inexplicably at peace.

The thick night, concealing a myriad of thoughts in his eyes.

Sensing movement beside him in the middle of the night, Si Yuting woke immediately but did not stir.

When he opened his eyes, he found Qu Tong facing him, having pulled his blanket over to rest on his legs.

In the faint light coming from the bathroom door, Si Yuting saw Qu Tong’s cheek puffed up from lying on her side, her hair sweeping across her forehead, looking exceptionally tranquil and lovely.

Si Yuting sighed helplessly, but he didn’t move Qu Tong’s blanket.

When she woke up in the morning, Si Yuting was no longer by her side, with slippers neatly placed beside the bed.

Qu Tong checked the time, it was a bit late, and Yuting hadn’t woken her up.

She quickly freshened up, and when she opened the door, she collided with Si Yuting, who was carrying something.

Her nose and forehead bumped against the man’s firm chest, and the reaction force made her lean back.

Qu Tong let out a soft gasp subconsciously.

A pair of strong hands grabbed her around the waist, pulling her back to him.

The items in Si Yuting’s hand were stabilized by his other hand, not a drop of milk spilled.

Their bodies closer, the warmth passing through the thin fabric between them, both paused for a moment.

Qu Tong’s entire face was pressed against Si Yuting’s chest, devoid of sweat or the so-called pine or snow scent, not even a trace of laundry detergent; it was so clean and crisp that it was tempting to ruin.

Qu Tong’s hands rested directly on Si Yuting’s tight waist, and the moment she touched, she felt the man’s muscles suddenly tense.

The pressure on her lower back eased, and from above her head came Si Yuting’s low, magnetic voice:

"Are you okay?"

Looking up to meet Si Yuting’s meaningful gaze, Qu Tong smiled slyly, not shy in retracting her hand.

She did it on purpose, so what?

"Your Highness, I thought you’d returned to Abel Star."

Seeing the scattered stardust in Qu Tong’s eyes, Si Yuting didn’t say much, smiling lightly, "No, I’ll return in the afternoon."

As Si Yuting spoke, he walked past Qu Tong and set the tray down on the table, softly telling her, "Come and have some breakfast."

Qu Tong sat opposite Si Yuting, looking at what he had brought for her: a small cake, two steamed shrimps, a few cherry tomatoes, a bowl of pumpkin porridge, and a cup of milk.

Qu Tong didn’t start eating but looked at Si Yuting instead, "Did you have breakfast, Your Highness?"

"I don’t have the habit of eating breakfast."

Or rather, he didn’t have the habit of eating meals; over the years, he had subsisted on nutrient solutions and energy liquids.

"Actually, I don’t either," Qu Tong said with a smile.

"But you like to eat natural foods."

Qu Tong took a bite of the small cake and nodded, "Yes, I only eat lunch and dinner. I wake up late and am too lazy to make breakfast."

Qu Tong was frank, without a hint of embarrassment.

Si Yuting acknowledged her statement with a soft hum.

Qu Tong pushed the milk towards Si Yuting, "I don’t like drinking plain milk."

"Alright." Si Yuting was easygoing, picking up the milk and drinking it down in one go.

It didn’t seem like he was drinking milk, more like he was completing a task.

While Qu Tong ate her breakfast, the two of them chatted intermittently.

"Do you have a fondness for sweets?"

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow, her playful eyes meeting Si Yuting’s and a subtle smile emerged.

He’s getting to know her; this was a good sign.

"Yes, eating sweet things makes one happy," she replied.

Si Yuting looked at Qu Tong, somewhat puzzled.

Qu Tong didn’t explain, instead tilting her head slightly with a light smile, "Are you going out again this afternoon, Your Highness?"

"I won’t go out, I’ll keep you company."

He had a lot of things to do, so he would spend as much time with her as possible within the remaining time and fulfill any requests for her.

Qu Tong was initially stunned by Si Yuting’s abrupt response, then her face broke into a smile, "I also don’t plan to go out today."

"Okay."

Qu Tong finished her porridge and had also eaten the small tomato, then stood up with the plate in hand and said, "I’m done."

Si Yuting looked at the two remaining shrimps and the dipping dish, frowning as he asked, "You don’t like shrimp?"

The meat and seafood in the Imperial Palace were all processed with Purification Liquid, so they didn’t have any fishy or bitter taste.

"I like them, I’m just lazy."

"..."

Si Yuting said nothing, but his eyes flashed with a touch of helplessness and indulgence.

Qu Tong handed the plate to a maid and, after bidding farewell to the emperor and empress with Si Yuting, prepared to return to Yuelan Bay.

Before leaving, Qu Tong pinched Niannian’s soft little hand and inserted her Special Ability to check up on him.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort indeed had already administered the medicine to Niannian, and the effects were still stable.

This scene was captured in Si Yuting’s eyes, and they deepened.

The girl released the little one and naturally slipped her hand back into his palm again.

A gentle, smooth, and delicate touch spread from the palm upwards, brushing softly against the bottom of his heart.

Gong Lingyu, clad in an elegant and luxurious orange and gold robe, now wore a face full of benevolence as she smiled.

Si Chen also affectionately took Gong Lingyu’s hand, "The Si Family tradition of being good to one’s wife, you can be absolutely assured."

Gong Lingyu glanced at Si Chen with the corner of her eye and scoffed, "Could it be your father isn’t really a Si?"

Si Chen’s façade collapsed in a second, and he coughed lightly, "He’s the exception."

Gong Lingyu couldn’t be bothered with him and took out her photon brain to order a few more sets of clothes and jewelry for Qu Tong, since the weather would cool down soon.

Qu Tong sat in the passenger seat next to Si Yuting, and her photon brain kept ringing non-stop.

Qu Tong, annoyed, checked the messages; Wen You had sent her a dozen messages.

[Tong Tong, did you ask the relationship blogger I recommended to you yesterday?]

[This idiot can’t be you, right?]

[[Shared Link]]

[Oh my! I laughed so hard my stomach hurts.]

[The more I watch, the more it seems like you and the boss.]

[Sister, you really have a talent.]

[Pfftt hahaha!]

[If the boss knew this is what you think, he’d probably wake himself up laughing at night.]

[You even thought about changing your cover, hahaha]

...

Qu Tong clicked on the link...

Just... there’s something I really **** wanna say but not sure if I should!

I truly 3Q!

Now she very much regretted impulsively going to Wen You yesterday.

Far from unreliable, she was completely off the charts!

When she got back, she would definitely whisper in Si Yuting’s ear to arrange more tasks for Wen You so that she wouldn’t come up with such lousy ideas when she had nothing better to do, not to mention having the time to gossip and belittle her.

Just overnight, the screenshot of her consultation blazed up to the third spot on the hot search, with the glaring title "Since I can’t have your heart, then I want all your property" being particularly eye-catching.

It made her feel like catching a chicken.

The blogger’s actions were also breathtakingly thoughtless—what’s the use of blurring her nickname "Netizen 388889"? Her profile picture was still out there!
