Chapter Forty-Six: Night, Duo Queue, Sunrise

In the darkness of night, Su Rouxue’s beautiful eyes shone with longing.

Xia Shu was breathing heavily, his entire body aflame, blood surging with heat and desire.

“This sheet is already a little damp,” he said.

“Mm, then let’s change to another bed.”

“The meteor shower tonight was beautiful. They even captured the moment we kissed on the observation deck.”

“These will all be wonderful memories for us.”

“Let’s get some rest. Didn’t you want to watch the sunrise? We can get up early and go to the observation deck again.”

“All right.”

Lying in Xia Shu’s arms, Su Rouxue felt especially at ease. Yet tonight, for some reason, her longing for Xia Shu was especially intense.

Even after changing beds, she couldn’t help herself, curling up in his arms restlessly like a sly fox.

“Darling, you’re being mischievous again.”

“Am I?”

A subtle red light flickered in Su Rouxue’s enchanting eyes. Xia Shu, lying on the bed facing her, was transfixed by the two delicate flames reflected in her gaze.

Those flames seemed to ignite desire, an irresistible allure—perhaps this was the unique charm of a fox spirit?

Damn it… my sister is actually using her special power on me?

This might be considered their first time deepening their affections in such an extraordinary way.

In that moment, the sage-like calm Xia Shu usually maintained was shattered, and the wildness buried deep within him was awakened.

He wrapped her tightly in his arms, his voice magnetic and alluring, whispering into Su Rouxue’s ear, “Looks like you want to keep playing with me tonight, darling.”

The blissful game between them continued in happiness.

It was truly a duo’s contest between lovers.

Xia Shu played the marksman, Su Rouxue the support—together they worked in perfect harmony, becoming an exceptionally coordinated pair.

If one were to compare them to heroes, Xia Shu would be the one known as Bigmouth, while Su Rouxue played Lulu.

Lulu’s abilities made Bigmouth’s attacks even swifter, his percentage-based damage explosive.

Even more daunting, they spent the entire time in an unlimited power mode.

To be honest, this style—with no cooldowns—demanded immense focus and energy. Support was easier, with Su Rouxue simply casting buffs on Xia Shu, but as the marksman, Xia Shu had to manage his output, his hands moving rapidly and precisely.

No wonder professional players are so exhausted—they’re all masters of time management.

Finally, after much effort, the last match of the night ended.

Su Rouxue’s playful heart was satisfied.

She closed her eyes peacefully, a blissful smile playing on her lips, and soon drifted off to sleep in Xia Shu’s embrace…

Around six in the morning, Xia Shu suddenly opened his eyes.

Through the window, he could see the sun had not yet risen.

The night’s exertions had left him tired, but he’d promised to watch the sunrise with Su Rouxue, so after gazing at her face in the dim light, he gently woke her.

“Darling, do you want to sleep a bit longer, or get up to see the sunrise?”

Still drowsy, Su Rouxue’s eyes fluttered open. Though sleepy, she remembered her promise, and decided to get up.

Not fully awake, Xia Shu and Su Rouxue made their way to the observation deck.

Xia Shu wrapped an arm around Su Rouxue’s slender waist, and together they gazed silently at the distant sky.

Gradually, a faint blush of pink appeared above the mountains—a layered beauty, not simple pink, but tinged with delicate violet below and rimmed with pale gold above.

Their hearts beat with anticipation.

Soon, a red ribbon unfurled between the horizon and the clouds, as if heralding something new.

Slowly, a silver point of light emerged, indented like a child nestled in its mother’s womb. Su Rouxue quickly opened her phone to record the precious moment.

Watching through the screen wasn’t enough; they put the phone down, holding their breath, eyes fixed on the growing light as it rose—like a newborn revealing its face.

“It’s coming out, it’s coming out! How beautiful!” Su Rouxue’s eyes sparkled, her face alight with joy.

In that moment, she switched the camera to the front, pulling Xia Shu close for a selfie.

His hair still tousled from sleep, Xia Shu smiled indulgently, his gaze full of affection.

“You’re so cute, Xia Shu!”

The radiant orb in the sky flickered, and after a while, a dazzling new life burst forth.

This sunrise became another beautiful memory they would cherish forever.
