"Lan Lan, how could I ever let my beautiful female touch the ground when my strong, heroic arms exist?" he said proudly, tightening his hold around her waist. "If you fall, then fall into my embrace."
Su Qinglan glared at him, her hair whipping into his face. "You call this safe? You almost tripped over a root!"
He grinned, breathless but still somehow smug. "That was not a trip; that was a... romantic stumble! The forest just couldn't bear our beauty and tried to hug us!"
Su Qinglan's jaw dropped. "Rong Ye, do you even hear yourself sometimes?"
"Of course," he replied proudly, dodging a branch. "I have excellent ears! They're big, fluffy, and perfect for listening to your sweet voice, Lan Lan."
She looked at him like she was seriously reconsidering every decision that led her here.
Su Qinglan covered her face with one hand, groaning. "Why did I ever agree to let you follow me today…"
