Chapter 314 - Graceful Hands Plucking Jade Plum Blossoms (Part 2)
"We were always meant to be one," Zuo Nianchou whispered in Ye Beizhi's ear, "Like matching jade pendants, one incomplete without the other."
Her words found their way deep into Ye Beizhi’s mind.
Ye Beizhi jolted awake and hastily looked down at his chest. To his surprise, Zuo Nianchou wasn't there. Looking around, he saw that she was still seated before her instrument; she had just lifted her hands from the strings. Smiling faintly, she asked, "What’s wrong? Did you enjoy that?"
Ye Beizhi shook his head. Though the taste of alcohol still lingered, the haze had lifted. He drew his Tang blade from behind his waist and slammed it onto the table.
"What did you do?"
"What did you see?" Zuo Nianchou answered mischievously.
Ye Beizhi narrowed his eyes, tightening his grip around his Tang blade.
Zuo Nianchou was unfazed and returned to the table. She sat down and spoke slowly, "You only saw what your heart desired. I’m curious, did you see that bothers you so much?"
Ye Beizhi’s imposing aura faltered. His face flushed for a brief moment and he withdrew his hand from his weapon.
Zuo Nianchou went inside and returned with two more jars of wine. Without giving Ye Beizhi a chance to refuse, she poured him another cup. Ye Beizhi noticed the faint hue blooming across her cheeks. It seemed like her alcohol tolerance had reached its limits as well.
Zuo Nianchou suddenly asked, "Have you heard?"
"Hmm?" Ye Beizhi raised an eyebrow.
