Super Sweet, 100\% Honeymoon

Chapter 410 Another Reversal (1)

"Alright, alright!" Brother Mang straightened his back, placing his hands behind him. "Are you two filming a romantic idol drama? That’s it for today. We’ll continue tomorrow. I won’t stop until you give up!"Saying this, Brother Mang signaled to his men with a glance. "Keep an eye on these two. We’ll continue tomorrow."

What? Continue tomorrow?

What kind of deep grudge is this?!

In the dimly lit small room, Xia Xiyan and Ou Jue were locked inside.

Ou Jue leaned his whole body against the wall, raising his handsome face as he gasped for air.

Before being locked in, the ropes binding Xia Xiyan had been untied.

Though she didn’t know why—did they suddenly grow a conscience?

Anyway, the feeling of being able to move freely was amazing. Xia Xiyan hurriedly walked to Ou Jue’s side. "Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"I’m fine." His tone was nonchalant.

"How could you be fine?! You idiot, fool, stubborn demon!!"

Xiyan shouted, losing control, then suddenly felt a heavy weight press on her shoulder.

Her pupils shrank sharply as she felt Ou Jue rest his head on her shoulder.

This action—indescribably captivating.

"Xia Xiyan," he murmured.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Xiyan looked down. "Mm?"

"I’m so tired..."

Those simple three words melted Xiyan’s heart into a puddle.

This normally aloof heir seemed to have cast off all his facades in this moment.

He murmured like a child.

And in such a harsh environment, the feeling of mutual reliance became even stronger.

Xiyan leaned closer to him. "Close your eyes and rest for a while."

"Will you leave me?" The demon’s voice was low, lacking any sense of dominance—almost like a child asking for candy.

Could it be... Ou Jue had been beaten silly?

Xiyan pursed her lips, soothing him. "No."

"Don’t lie to me."

"Given the current situation, I’d love to leave, but can I really get away?" Xiyan was genuinely tickled by his rare childish demeanor and smiled slightly, looking down at Ou Jue. "When they asked you to come alone, you really came? Young Master, where did your brains go?"

"I didn’t think that far," Ou Jue said, his voice hoarse. "At that moment, I only had one thought."

"And that was to find you immediately."

Somehow, his words—one of them, or maybe all of them—pierced directly into Xiyan’s heart.

Leaning together like this, Xiyan felt her heart was so close to Ou Jue’s, so close.

"Ou Jue..." When Xiyan turned her head slightly, she realized the demon’s breathing had completely evened out.

Had he fallen asleep?

From the looks of it, he really must be exhausted.

Xiyan glanced around the room.

What now? How could they escape this place?

Mom and everyone must be going crazy with worry...

Lost in her chaotic thoughts, Xiyan slowly drifted off to sleep too.

Nighttime.

She suddenly woke up, only to find that Ou Jue, who had been resting beside her, was gone.

Was he taken out by Brother Mang for another beating?

Panicking, Xiyan stood up and was about to call out, but suddenly heard faint chatter coming from outside.

?????

Xiyan, utterly confused, leaned closer and pressed her little ear to the door.

Outside, Brother Mang and his men were bowing and scraping while applying medicine to Ou Jue.

"O-Ou Shao, sorry about this. If we don’t hit hard enough, it wouldn’t have the right dramatic effect!"

Under the lights.

Ou Jue sat with one leg crossed over the other like a true boss, exuding an overwhelming aura, his face utterly expressionless.
