Chu Yang held her close, slightly lowering his head, resting his forehead against Mo Qingwu's smooth brow. He spoke softly, "In this world, whose tears are not salty? The taste of heartbreak, bittersweet despair is the same for emperors, generals, commoners, or even for gods and sages... It is all the same..."
Mo Qingwu listened in a daze, suddenly reaching out her small hand to gently wipe away the remnants of tears from the corner of his eyes. She earnestly whispered, "Brother Chu Yang... I promise you won't be sad anymore."
She pursed her lips and vowed, "I will never let you be sad, not even in this life or the next!"
Chu Yang's heart trembled as he looked at the serious expression on the little girl's face. He intended to say, "This is something I should have said, but you beat me to it." Yet, as the words reached his lips, they transformed into a gentle, contented sigh. Gazing into Mo Qingwu's eyes, he wholeheartedly replied, "I believe you!"
Mo Qingwu smiled brightly, snuggling closer to him. In a dreamy manner, she said, "Brother Chu Yang, the feeling of being in your arms is truly blissful... It feels as if I have already nestled in your embrace for lifetimes, so familiar and warm."
The two leaned against the window, sharing a long moment together, reluctant to move or to speak, fearing to disturb the beautiful tranquility of the present.
At this moment, Mo Qingwu completely surrendered herself to Chu Yang, while Chu Yang let go of all his defenses and relaxed completely.
The only thing they did was enjoy this night together.
Next door, Mo Tianji had already fallen asleep in bed, surprisingly not practicing his skills or planning anything tonight. He had even drifted off.
The sound of his soft snores echoed faintly.
It seemed he had also put down a great burden, allowing Mo Tianji to relax thoroughly.
In his dreams, Mo Tianji wore a joyful and content smile.
Unbeknownst to them, dawn was breaking.
The night had passed.
As the morning breeze blew in, both Chu Yang and Mo Qingwu felt a slight chill. Mo Qingwu reluctantly lifted her head from Chu Yang's embrace. After taking two steps back, she looked at her face reflected in the wrinkles made on his chest by her black clothing. She scrunched her nose and said regretfully, "It’s dawn already..."
Chu Yang also felt a bit reluctant, replying, "Indeed, it’s dawn..."
Mo Qingwu giggled. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, her little face turning crimson. She quickly glanced up at Chu Yang and then suddenly lowered her head, her neck flushing red as she stammered for a while before whispering, "Brother Chu Yang... I-I..."
"What is it?" Chu Yang asked, puzzled.
"I-I..." Mo Qingwu tilted her head, her face becoming a bright red cloth, but still bravely said, "I really like... you kissing me..."
Chu Yang smiled indulgently, ruffling her hair. He whispered, "Brother Chu Yang also likes to kiss you."
Mo Qingwu's clear eyes twinkled as she said, "Then... when no one is around... let's kiss again?"
Chu Yang, filled with enthusiasm, replied, "Sure!"
His stomach groaned, and he thought to himself, constantly teasing like this but unable to indulge. It seems he will have to bear the consequences in the future. Do you know the kind of pain that arises when that kind of impulse surges but cannot be released... somewhere will hurt very, very much...
However, even though today he was a bit beastly... but... heehee, this little Wu's first kiss is...
Chu Yang licked his lips, suddenly wearing a wicked smile.
So sweet... Chu Imperial Seat savored it endlessly.
Clearly, Mo Qingwu had no such concerns. The little girl was already giggling as she turned to leave. With her hands behind her back, she skipped a few steps inside the room, exclaiming, "And this knife you gave me, I really like it! It's beautiful and sharp, haha..."
Her brows furrowed slightly, "But it's too gruesome to kill people..."
Then she smiled in relief, "Fortunately, the knife doesn't stain with blood. Otherwise, it would really be..."
As she picked up the Star Dream Light Dance Blade, Chu Yang suddenly remembered.
