- Noma Sushi -

In a VIP room, Luan and Ingrid were sitting side by side while eating and drinking wine.

"It's my first time eating this, so I didn't know if I would like it, but I did," Ingrid said with a smile, showing her teeth.

"I'm glad you liked it. Usually the first time they eat sushi, people tend not to like it. You can ask for more and try everything you feel like having." Luan liked to see Ingrid eating and becoming surprised every time she tried something new. It was very cute when she showed that surprised expression and looked at him as if to say with her eyes how amazed she was.

"For real? Well, it must be because I was never very picky about food, and I didn't think it would be bad just because it was raw. Although, I must admit that the texture is a little strange, but if you ignore that, it's not bad," Ingrid said while imitating how Luan held the chopsticks.

"Soon you get used to the texture too. It is really strange at first." Luan smiled at the grimace she made when she ate. It was an expression he liked, but he felt strange when she ate.

"Yes, little by little I am getting used to it," Ingrid said, eating another sushi roll with salmon.

"Try this. It is fried." Luan held the sushi with his chopstick and took it towards Ingrid's mouth.

Ingrid, who finished chewing, opened her mouth and accepted the tempura that Luan delivered to her mouth.

"Good! This is a very good one," Ingrid said in approval.

As they ate, they drank wine. Although their tolerance was very high because of the high level of cultivation, when drinking more than five bottles of wine while eating, even Luan got slightly pink cheeks. Ingrid, on the other hand, had her eyes shining with alcohol and her cheeks were red to the ears.

"Satisfied? Want to go back?" Luan asked.

"No! I don't want to go back yet, come on... Yes! Let's go to the beach. I want to see the sea. *Burp~*" Ingrid burped as soon as she finished speaking. She thought it was funny and laughed at the burp itself, then realized what she did, but in the end, she ended up laughing again. "Oops, I'm sorry, it slipped out. Hehe~"

Luan pressed the button that called the waiter. Seconds later, someone knocked on the door.

"You may come in," Luan said, "The bill, please."

Luan helped Ingrid to get in the car and asked, "Do you want me to dispel the effect of the alcohol?"

"If I wanted to, why would I drink? Let me stay like this for a little while longer…" Ingrid said as she intertwined her fingers in Luan's hair as he was driving.

"Okay." Luan liked having her messing with his hair and didn't complain.

After a few minutes, they arrived at a parking lot very close to the beach.

Luan got out and helped Ingrid down. And just like the last time, she left her high heels in the car, as she found them irritating to wear, and it was even worse if she was going to walk on the beach sand.

"Let's sit there!" Ingrid pointed to a bench on the beach.

"Okay." Luan intertwined his fingers with hers and walked with her hand in hand towards the bench that Ingrid had pointed out.

They were not the only ones on the beach at that time. There were other people with beach chairs very close to the sea, even a group of young adults playing volleyball.

Luan sat down with Ingrid. Ingrid was very happy and a smile formed on her pink lips as she rested her head on Luan's shoulder and looked at the sea.

For a long time, they were silently enjoying each other's presence while watching the sea and the moon reflecting in the waters of the sea.

"Luan, did I say I love you today?" Ingrid broke the silence that had formed.

"No," Luan whispered in her ear.

Ingrid tickled her ear and turned to him and kissed him, so she said, "I love you so much!"

"I love you too." Luan returned the kiss that lasted more than ten minutes.

The effect of alcohol had already started to dissipate, although Ingrid did nothing to make it happen; her body worked faster than that of an ordinary human. However, she was still the same, a girl in love, spending romantic time with the person she loved. So she didn't mind being sober and just wanted to enjoy the moment that was theirs alone.

After they returned home, it was already close to two in the morning. Luan and Ingrid went up the stairs, and before Luan kissed her good night, Ingrid asked coquettishly, "Luan, can I sleep with you? I know I have my period, and we won't be able to do anything, but I... I would like to sleep in the same room as you."

"All right." Luan agreed and suggested, "Bring your pajamas and bathe in my bathroom before that, or bathe in the main bathroom."

"Mhm, I'm going to take a shower and change clothes and I'll be right back." Ingrid stood on tiptoe and kissed Luan before leaving for her room.

Luan left the door just leaning. He usually slept only in boxers, but as Ingrid was going to sleep in the room with him, Luan grabbed a cotton T-shirt and short silk shorts.

After showering and getting dressed, Luan was drying his hair, sitting on his bed while waiting for Ingrid.

*Toc... Toc...*

"Come in." With Luan's permission, Ingrid came in wearing cute pink pajamas with white flowers. She had slightly wet hair, and her face was a little flushed.

"I'm here." Ingrid walked over to Luan and sat down next to him.

"Your hair is still a little wet." Luan got up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get another towel."

Before Ingrid could answer, Luan had already walked towards the bathroom and came back with a white towel. He said, "Stay there. Just turn your back to me, and I'll dry your hair."

Despite thinking she had been spoiled enough by him, Ingrid accepted and did what he said. "Okay."

Luan, as he sat next to her, started to dry Ingrid's beautiful blond hair.

"It's done." Luan got up and took the towel to the bathroom and put it in the laundry basket.

When he returned, he said, "Are you sleepy? Do you want to sleep now?"

"I'm not too sleepy, but I want to sleep with you, okay?"

"Of course. Isn't that why you came?" Luan laughed a little.

"True..." Ingrid laughed too.

Luan had two pillows on his bed, so he didn't need to get another one. Ingrid crawled to the corner of the bed and sat on her knee.

Luan also climbed on the bed and laid down immediately and said, "Come here, lie down next to me."

Obediently, Ingrid crawled closer to him, and lay down, putting her feet under the cover.

Luan smiled and pulled her closer to him, making Ingrid lay her head on his left arm. Gently, he brushed the hair out of her face.

Ingrid, who was looking very closely at Luan's face, didn't feel like blinking. She looked into his red eyes and felt intoxicated. Feeling the warmth of his body close to hers, it made her heart race. It was a strange sensation, but she didn't dislike it. In fact, she was loving that sensation, and before she knew it, while looking at him without blinking, sleep had caught her, and she fell fast asleep.

Luan, who was still awake, smiled and kissed her forehead, and hugged her tenderly while closing his eyes.
