Tang Yue's refusal was clearly weak, and at a time like this, how could Tang Miao listen to her? Especially when he saw her holding back, occasionally letting out a soft "hmm" and trying to endure it, Tang Miao became even more mischievous.
He held her and flipped her over. Tang Yue, who had been standing on the ground, was suddenly lifted and leaned against the tree.
"Hoo~… Can we go back now?"
Tang Yue looked at Tang Miao with pleading eyes. Although she was usually very strong, within the confines of this cave-like domain, she was like a little white rabbit targeted by a big bad wolf. She had no strength left to resist.
"No, I haven't fully appreciated the beauty of West Lake yet."
Tang Miao refused without a second thought. Since he had come to such a beautiful West Lake, how could he not explore the depths of the cave in the lake?
Tang Yue wanted to refuse, but Tang Miao had already entered. It seemed that his hands were not free to fully understand more, so Tang Miao ordered, "Hold me tight."
Although Tang Yue didn't want to continue, when Tang Miao instructed her, she hugged him tightly. The cave was ultimately very dangerous, and exploring it while Tang Miao held her was a bit of a burden. To prevent herself from falling, Tang Yue also wrapped her legs around him.
Tang Miao was very satisfied and continued to go deeper. There was nothing in this cave, and it occasionally contracted. If his hands hadn't been freed, allowing him to control and distract himself, he might have had to retreat.
It must be said, this was truly a good opportunity to practice multitasking.
After exploring the cave for a full hour, Tang Miao finally retreated. After leaving the surface of the lake and catching his breath, he went back in again… He didn't know what was in there, but he was tirelessly exploring it.
Just as the two were "vigorously" exploring for three hours, and were about to discover something, they suddenly heard footsteps. Hearing the sound, Tang Miao was displeased! One should know, this was a crucial moment; perhaps they could complete their objective soon, but someone actually came?
Under Tang Yue's pleading gaze, Tang Miao could only speed up, finally completing his masterpiece a step ahead of them. He then left the warm interior of the lake, carrying the soft and weak Tang Yue, who felt like mud, and leaped up into the big tree.
At this moment, a handsome couple walked over, seemingly wanting to explore the secrets of the cave as well?
Tang Miao grumbled unhappily, "Ruining my good thing, and you still want to explore here?"
"Let's go~" After recovering a bit in the tree, Tang Yue, with a flushed face, completely ignored the other party and pulled Tang Miao, wanting to leave.
Tang Miao smiled, then said, "You go ahead and wait for me, I'll be right there."
"No!" Tang Yue didn't waste words. Once her shadow magic was cast, she directly took Tang Miao and left the place.
After leaving the forest, Tang Miao no longer had the arrogant demeanor he had just displayed, but instead trotted obediently behind Tang Yue, acting all docile and compliant.
There was nothing he could do; this wasn't the place for him to exert his domain; he simply couldn't stand tall here.
Tang Yue's anger only lasted for a short while. Before they even left West Lake, Tang Miao had already made her giggle uncontrollably.
After leaving West Lake, Tang Yue complained, "Look, it's all your fault! We didn't even finish exploring West Lake, and it's already dark!"
"Although we didn't finish exploring West Lake, didn't we leave profound memories there?" Tang Miao said indifferently, but then seemed to feel something was amiss, so he added, "Besides, no scenery is as beautiful as you are~ Just looking at you has already made me lose interest in all the scenery in the world."
"Pfft!" Tang Yue looked disdainful and snorted, "I'll believe you when I'm old and withered."
"Don't worry, even if you're eighty years old, with yellow teeth and bad breath, I won't dislike you."
Tang Yue was displeased. Thinking of what Tang Miao said, she felt it would be better to just die… "Pfft, how disgusting, you're the one with yellow teeth and bad breath."
Seeing Tang Yue's unbearable expression, Tang Miao smiled and said, "Everyone gets old. Even with the best skincare, youthful skin only lasts a few decades."
Tang Yue was silent for a moment, then looked at Tang Miao and asked seriously, "Decades later, when I'm old… will you still love me?"
Tang Miao nodded and said, "I raised you from a young age. When we're old and gray, I'll accompany you to a quiet place, and we'll live out the rest of our lives in seclusion."
"Pfft~"
Upon hearing Tang Miao say that he raised her, Tang Yue became unhappy! After all, who raised whom? Didn't he have any idea?
"Hehe…"
Tang Yue linked arms with Tang Miao, resting her head on his arm, like a little girl. And Tang Miao, of course, was very happy to enjoy that softness.
The two strolled on the road, and at this moment, Tang Miao also seriously chatted with Tang Yue.
Regarding Tang Miao's drastic change, Tang Yue tidied her hair and complained helplessly, "Seriously, do I always have to feed you first before we can have a proper conversation?"
Tang Miao looked at the beauty beside him and said with a pained expression, "Sister, I'm already 18! Do you know how I've endured these past few years…?"
Tang Yue was no longer a child, and she was older than Tang Miao. She understood what Tang Miao meant. Suddenly, she thought about how Tang Miao had always been able to endure before, and indeed, it was a very firm will.
Tang Yue stopped and looked at Tang Miao, confused. "I was clearly by your side, why did you have to hold back?"
"Although big brother is a bit shameless, my love for you is genuine. So, unless you're willing, I won't touch you," Tang Miao said seriously.
The most important thing was that when Tang Yue became charming and mature, she had already learned magic! How could he not have a firm will?
They had lived together for over ten years, so how could Tang Yue believe him? She then said, "But this time, I also fell for it. Why didn't you buy me an inhibitor?"
"I was afraid it would have side effects, and besides, didn't you already approve back in Bo City?"
"Yes… I didn't give myself to you before not because I didn't love you. It was just that I was afraid you wouldn't cherish me… But that time, even with demons everywhere, you still came to save me, and I knew I was wrong…"
As Tang Yue spoke, she even offered her red lips, giving him a light peck before adding, "I never thought that in just a few short years since you awakened your magic, you would already be able to protect me."
Tang Miao, for once, wasn't being playful. He looked at Tang Yue with a serious expression and said, "In my heart, you will always be the most important."
…After a series of confessions and kisses, Tang Yue, on their way back, asked somewhat confused, "By the way, Miao, how did you find me so quickly in Bo City?"
She had never gotten around to asking about this, or perhaps she had forgotten, but now that Bo City was mentioned, she remembered and asked.
Tang Miao paused… hesitated for a moment, then took out his cherished item.
When Tang Yue saw the familiar item Tang Miao took out, she was instantly filled with shame and anger. After slapping Tang Miao, she turned and left in a huff. However, her underwear was ultimately left behind.
Tang Miao rubbed his head, looking at the graceful figure, especially her perky, bouncy bottom, and muttered to himself, "I'm a normal man too…"
