Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Chapter 172 Chewing Wine

Gu Meizi knelt in front of the school gate.

In late autumn, a cold wind blew, making her shiver, but she dared not run away, and looked longingly at the short-haired, dashing girl.

People coming and going at the school gate cast curious glances at them.

Many girls' eyes lingered on the short-haired girl's spirited face, then they blushed, lowered their heads, and quickly left.

If I stay any longer, my heart will inevitably blossom with lilies...

"Hurry up...hurry up!" Gu Meizi bit her lower lip.

However, the other person showed no intention of leaving. He just stared at her silently, and gradually a smile spread across his face. He squatted down and gently stroked her hair.

Her long, purple-streaked hair was wet, clumping together into hard, sticky strands that felt hard to the touch and had an unpleasant damp smell.

"Her hair is the same color as hers, I really want to chop you up, Yueyue..."

The woman gave a strange, dry laugh, her fixed gaze sending chills down Gu Meizi's spine. She cursed inwardly:

"You stinking brat! If this were before, if you dared to look at me like that, I'd punch you right in the eye!"

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept by, carrying a few drops of water that landed on the woman's throat.

In a daze, she seemed to see a brief bulge appear on her smooth throat.

"What...?" Gu Meizi exclaimed in shock, rubbing her eyes.

Upon closer inspection, the prominent Adam's apple had disappeared.

Did I see it wrong?

Chi Zhan kneaded her neck and chuckled, "If only you were Yueyue... If you were Yueyue, I'd want to take you out of here right now..."

He ran his index finger from Gu Meizi's tender left artery to her right artery, his fingertip feeling slightly cool, as if it were being pricked with needles.

"...Cut it neatly here."

Invisible dotted lines appeared on her neck, but quickly disappeared and vanished.

Gu Meizi's hair stood on end instantly, her pupils contracted sharply, and she opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound due to extreme fear.

When that sentence was spoken.

A chilling killing intent, almost tangible, suddenly emanated from the other person, as if he had been pounced on by a prehistoric saber-toothed tiger, the hot, pungent smell of blood spraying onto his face, and sharp fangs hanging at his neck...

"Ahhhhh!" Gu Meizi screamed in terror, her adrenaline surging and gushing into her crippled calf.

whoosh-

She ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared in an instant.

Chi Zhan did not give chase.

Because she was already dead.

If it weren't for Gu Meizi's dyed purple hair, which reminded her of that guy's appearance...

She wouldn't even bother to utter a single word about such a minor character.

"We'll see each other again soon, Shen Yue..."

Chi Zhan coldly curled the corners of his mouth, put his hands in his pockets, turned around, and walked into the campus at a leisurely pace.

……

"Kawasaki is a top-tier private academy, and all purchases within the school are made through the 'Black Card Points System.' Furthermore, during the school festival, the points terminals at each booth and shop are directly connected to the school's central database..."

"Therefore, by tracing the data, we can pinpoint the shops and stalls where those two people were making purchases."

Lan Xinlan chattered away, talking about professional knowledge while scrolling through her tablet, her steps never faltering as she walked forward.

Jiang Ling pulled her away from the oncoming people while feeling relieved:

"Luckily, Alan needs an internet connection to open the box, otherwise everything on my hard drive would be completely exposed to her..."

The two stopped in front of a quaint little shop.

The tablet showed that their target had made a purchase here three minutes earlier.

A gust of wind slipped through the crack in the shop door, bringing with it a peculiar, slightly intoxicating aroma mixed with the sweet scent of grains.

Jiang Ling raised her head.

The shop sign reads: "【Mouth-chewing liquor experience workshop】".

Lan Xinlan stood on tiptoe and peered inside. She looked around and felt a little disappointed. There was no one inside; the other person had obviously left the shop.

She refreshed her tablet, waiting for the target's next spending record to be updated.

A cold wind blew again, lifting the knitted scarf around her neck and revealing a small section of her fair skin underneath.

Her delicate nose immediately turned red from the cold.

Jiang Ling reached out and gently covered her ears, which were icy cold from the wind.

Sure enough, a chilling sensation, like ice, emanated from my palm.

"Eh..."

Lan Xinlan subconsciously shrank her neck, then felt the warm, stove-like temperature emanating from his palm.

Oh ho~

She shivered with pleasure, as if her bones had been removed, and collapsed softly into his arms.

In the dead of winter, when the cold wind is like a knife, it's heartwarming to have someone extend a pair of warm hands to help warm one's frozen ears.

This feeling is absolutely amazing!

Jiang Ling covered Alan's cold ear with one hand, half-embracing the somewhat limp Alan, and walked to the door of the chewing wine experience workshop, opening the exquisite wooden lattice door.

Although it was just a temporary shop set up during the school festival, the building materials and insulation inside were clearly well thought out.

Upon entering, a warm feeling mixed with a richer aroma of rice wine wafts over you.

The interior design is quite ingenious: a row of low tatami seats is set along the wall using light brown wood as the frame.

Directly opposite the entrance is a bar counter made of ebony wood, its surface polished to a mirror shine. Under the warm yellow light, rows of celadon wine bottles gleam with a gentle luster.

"Hmm... those two people's spending records haven't been broken yet."

Lan Xinlan leaned against him, staring at the tablet screen. "But based on previous patterns, they make a purchase on average every five minutes..."

At this moment, students from the "brewing department," acting as the "shopkeepers," came forward and gave a well-organized yet diverse introduction to the history, classification, and products of kuchikami sake...

Perhaps because not many people are interested in kuchikami sake, the students in the "brewing department" were exceptionally enthusiastic, serving tea and water...

"They're really going all out for practical credits."

Jiang Ling sighed, "Even second-generation scions who have suffered the hardships of their later years because of their elders still radiate vitality and fighting spirit at this stage..."

Are you two a couple?

The sales assistant was a girl with a sweet smile.

She brought out two exquisite celadon plates, each containing a small dish of steamed rice, an empty celadon bottle, and a small piece of red wax for sealing.

"If you're a couple, you could try this 'Love-Bound Chewed Wine'!"

"The man and woman chew rice into a paste, spit it into each other's wine bottle to ferment, and after forty-nine days, they can taste the wine fermented from the saliva of their beloved..."

Jiang Ling: ?

Lan Xinlan: ?

So "chewed liquor" really does mean exactly what it says—liquor made by chewing with your mouth?!

The sales assistant smiled and said, "If you don't even dare to eat the saliva of your loved one, how can you say you love them?"

PUA master!

Jiang Ling didn't care anyway; being able to drink a beautiful girl's saliva was just too awesome.

As for Alan...

The only time she ever got angry before was when she ate her own saliva, right?

Jiang Ling turned her head to the side.

Lan Xinlan's mind was filled with memories of the past... It seemed that her initial connection with him was when this guy said his saliva could cure poison, and Alan thought he was going to kiss her, but instead he spat a mouthful of saliva into Alan's mouth...

This behavior is extremely vulgar, filthy, and despicable!

However, it tastes sweet...

Lan Xinlan glanced at the tablet again; seeing no new records refreshed, she raised her little hand and said:

"Alan wants to give it a try..."

Jiang Ling: Chew, chew, chew~

Blue Heart Orchid: Chew, chew, chew~

The two of them each picked up a small handful of warm rice, put it in their mouths, and began to chew earnestly.

After a while, they each spat the rice porridge that had turned into a paste into the small celadon bottle in each other's hands.

After sealing the container, the sales assistant advised, "It needs to ferment for forty-nine days to develop a pleasant fragrance."

"If it's too early... gulp..." The sales assistant glanced at the bottle that Jiang Ling had vomited from.

Born into a family of winemakers, she has a very keen sense of smell and immediately detected a unique aroma.

"It smells so good... How can someone's saliva smell so sweet..." the sales assistant murmured.

"What?! Xiaoyan!"

A boy who was tidying up bottles nearby suddenly turned around, his face filled with disbelief and hurt. He grabbed the girl's shoulders, his voice trembling with tears:

"What are you talking about? Are you kidding me... He... he doesn't even know how long he chewed it or how much saliva he used... How could that kind of wine arouse your desire! Make you say 'sweet'..."

"Besides, you clearly said before... that you would only drink my homemade kuchikami sake from now on! Only my kuchikami sake will taste sweet to you. Now, how could you treat other people's sake like this..."

Xiaoyan swallowed, sniffed again, her cheeks flushed, and looked at the boy with some guilt:

"I'm sorry... his wine smelled so good... I unconsciously drooled... I'm so sorry... I promised you..."

The boy was struck dumb, his voice trembling with anguish: "No—!"

Jiang Ling: ……

Lan Xinlan tugged at his sleeve at the opportune moment and said in a low but quick voice:

"Oh! Jiang Ling, Jiang Ling! There's a reaction, there's a reaction! Those two just made a new purchase at another store, let's go there quickly!"

"Okay~"

Ignoring the arguing brewing couple, they each put away their chewed wine.

The two quickly ran towards another store.

P.S.: This chapter is a make-up for last night's chapter. There will be two more chapters for today later. Sorry for being so late.
