At this moment, Ah Zhao’s tongue touches Gu Hao on the lip.

Gu Hao: !

He feels a surge of heat rise up from the bottom of his lower abdomen all the way to the top of his head. A deep blush creeps on his face.

What’s more pleasant than confirming that the person one likes has the same feeling in return?

Gu Hao has an answer for this question.

It is more pleasant if one’s loved one is bolder and more passionate than one does.

He hesitates for a moment and decides to deepen this kiss when he suddenly turns stiff.

Ah Zhao stops what she’s doing for a second, too. Clearly, she is aware of his change as well.

She steps back and looks at the male lead with a strange expression.

How come he is ascending to another level now?

In the Land of God of War, the ascendance from the top level of a practitioner to a master has always been considered most important in the journey of a kung fu apprentice, for it is a symbol of a kung fu apprentice joining the club of the genuinely powerful ones.

It is also regarded as the most difficult ascendance to achieve since many kung fu apprentices stop at the level of a practitioner and simply don’t make any further progress for the rest of their lives.

But, starting to ascend because a kiss?

How does this man do it?

Ah Zhao only has one explanation for this – that he is the male lead.

However, it is a bad timing for him to do that.

Looking at Gu Hao who is immersed in the ascendance with his eyes closed, Ah Zhao sighs pitifully. With a flick of her sleeve, she disappears alongside of Gu Hao.

Though there isn’t anyone in this alley for now, it isn’t secret or safe enough.

Ascendance isn’t a good time to be disturbed.

This ascendance takes Gu Hao three whole days.

He wakes up from the ascendance as he sits there. A flicker of golden light flashes across his eyes. Apparently, he’s much more powerful now.

After he opens his eyes, the first thing he does is to look for that familiar figure.

Soon he finds her.

Ah Zhao has finally got rid of that grey cloak of hers.

Right now, she’s in a sky-blue dress made of an unknown material which looks as if there are ripples moving across its surface.

Her skin is as fair as snow, her expression cold. She stands by a window like a bamboo in the cold wind. So remote.

The past intimacy between them is like a dream to him.

Gu Hao reaches Ah Zhao in a flash.

He tugs at her sleeve carefully: “Senior Zhao?”

Ah Zhao turns around. Giving him a look, she says: “Still calling me Senior Zhao?”

Gu Hao is surprised by that. Immediately after that, he turns joyful. “My Senior Zhao.”

“I’m called Snow Lady Zhao by the world. You can call me Ah Zhao.”

Gu Hao is filled with happiness. His hand reaches forward and holds Ah Zhao’s softly as if it is a test.

Ah Zhao doesn’t avoid his hand since she has made up her mind to claim this beauty herself. Right! She has accepted his love so she won’t act all reserved anymore.

“Ah Zhao.” Gu Hao calls softly.

Ah Zhao answers him.

“Ah Zhao.”

“Yes?”

“Ah Zhao.”

“What is it…”

Her unfinished sentence disappears between their lips.

After he has made sure that Ah Zhao doesn’t hate the intimacy between them, Gu Hao becomes a totally different person.

He will hug and kiss her whenever he has the chance.

If Ah Zhao doesn’t want to, he will lower his eyes and looks at her like a sad puppy who is abandoned by its owner.

Since he has such a beautiful face that nobody can refuse, besides, Ah Zhao does enjoy these interactions between them so each time she will let him have his way in the end.

Well, a needy boyfriend is indeed a sweet burden.
