Chapter 166 Stars, Moon, and Sun (9)
Chapter 166 Stars, Moon, and Sun (9)
Although my mind was in turmoil, the hazy sunlight, the gentle breeze, and the soft rocking on my furry, broad shoulders were incredibly relaxing.
When Yi Yi woke up, dusk had quietly fallen, painting the world in a warm orange hue.
Yi Yi woke up to the tickling sensation on her cheek.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Ai's frozen movements and expression.
Looking at Ai's outstretched arm and the fur ball on his chest that was the culprit behind the itchy cheek.
Yi Yi could roughly guess what the situation was like now.
Afraid of catching a cold and unwilling to wake her, Ai held herself in her arms, trying to wait for her to wake up naturally and comfortably.
But perhaps it had been too long, causing Ai to become somewhat numb from maintaining the same posture to accommodate her.
Only then did he try to subtly change his posture.
Unexpectedly, this woke me up.
Tsk tsk tsk, look at that little expression on your face, like you've done something wrong. How can we blame you for something like this!
Overwhelmed by the cuteness, Yi Yi reached out to pat Ai Yi's head.
But the embarrassing thing is... her arms aren't long enough.
Even when stretched out, his fingers could barely touch Ai's forehead.
Yi Yi withdrew her hand somewhat awkwardly.
At that moment, Ai lowered her head and placed her cheek in her palm, rubbing against it like a kitten being affectionate.
With one arm around Yi Yi's waist, he helped her sit up, and with the other hand, he placed Yi Yi's hand on his cheek.
After doing all this, he raised his eyes and looked at Yi Yi.
His eyes were wide open as he looked up at Yi Yi.
He looked completely innocent.
awsl!
After her sexual orientation was severely targeted, Yi Yi had to admit that this was a counter-strategy.
Starting with a one-on-one honey trap is just too overpowering.
after all……
I'm just a shallow person who's obsessed with looks!
Yi Yi covered her mouth with her free hand, silently screaming as tears streamed down her face.
As Ai held her hand and rubbed it against her again and again.
Yi Yi had to admit that she also enjoyed the furry texture.
Even occasionally touching the hard beard, which has a different texture from the soft, downy feel, has a unique charm.
Aww, I'm so happy to have a big cat to pet!
Because I was so happy, I didn't hold it against Ai for the kiss he secretly gave me in my palm.
Ai held Yi's hand, secretly turned her head to kiss her, and then let go of her hand.
As dusk settled, it was as if the gods had spilled a bowl of deep blue and almost black paint from the sky.
It poured down from the sky.
The original rose-red color of the sunset gradually blended into a gradient of purple.
At this moment, the Morning Star also shone brightly, leading other stars to adorn the sky.
All of this was reflected in a pool of clear, mirror-like spring water on the ground.
Yi Yi looked at the calm lake water when there was no wind.
It was as if I were witnessing the spectacular sight of ink being poured down from the sky.
Upon closer inspection, I realized it wasn't what I had imagined.
What started as a trickle of water turned into several long columns of water, and finally became a waterfall, cascading down from the towering cliffs.
As the full moon rose behind the cliff, Yi Yi understood that a line of poetry was not merely an image, but a realistic depiction—
Fei Liu went straight down to 3000 feet, and it was suspected that the Milky Way fell for nine days.
The scene before me was so vivid that it was hard to tell whether it was a dream or reality.
The night is getting darker.
Perhaps Ai Yi deliberately chose this day; the moon is big and round today, enough to illuminate the entire sky.
The waterfall seems to cascade directly from the moon, and the water jets splashing in the air resemble shattered Milky Way fragments falling to earth.
Yi Yi was stunned by the series of fantastical beautiful scenes before her eyes.
Unconsciously, he stepped out of Ai's arms and stood in front of the spring, trying to catch the splashing water.
I was truly shocked, and for a moment I forgot everything.
It wasn't until some heavy breathing came from behind that...
Yi Yi suddenly realized...
Wait, today...
It's a full moon! Isn't that the time in legends when you should avoid the prince?!
He turned around abruptly to look at Ai Yi behind him, and sure enough, he saw him fall to the ground in pain.
Yi Yi quickly ran to his side and helped him up.
Seeing his struggling expression, he frowned.
Before he could even utter a word of comfort, Ai interrupted him.
He stretched out his paw, seemingly intending to stroke Yi Yi's cheek.
But seeing his nails grow long and sharp, he clenched his fist and pulled his hand back.
He seemed to be struggling with something, managing to squeeze out a few words: "This is the place I come to every full moon."
"Looking at such a beautiful scene makes me feel relatively calm."
"I shouldn't have brought you here, or at this time."
"But this is the best time to see this place, and I want you to see it."
"I overestimated myself. I thought that my recent condition had improved and that I might be able to resist some of the curse."
"Fine... I might as well show you my most pathetic side!"
I wonder what kind of internal struggle they went through.
In short, it seems that Ai Yijue has decided to lay bare his ugliest side and show it all to Yi Yi.
This might represent a different kind of vulnerability, or perhaps the ultimate expression of trust?
Or is it... a most realistic representation?
Or perhaps both?
"That's what I was thinking..." Ai murmured softly, pushing Yi away.
Unable to resist, Yi Yi was pushed onto the grass to the side.
Before she could react, Ai, whose size had noticeably increased, burst through her clothes and transformed into a gray lightning bolt, instantly disappearing into the spring.
All that remained were fragments of clothing scattered on the ground, and Yi Yi stared at each other in bewilderment.
Yi Yi suddenly had no idea what Ai Yi was up to.
Yi Yi silently walked to the spring.
The rushing waterfall crashes onto the surface of the spring, stirring up ripples on the otherwise mirror-like water.
It also blocked Yi Yi's view of the water.
Yi Yi gently pressed down her skirt and knelt by the spring. She was about to say something, but then she was speechless.
Perhaps their minds, still reeling from the breathtaking scenery, couldn't think of any clichéd words for the moment.
Perhaps moved by Ai Yi's actions, he wanted to express his true feelings but found that he couldn't even find his own so-called true feelings.
Yi Yi ultimately chose to remain silent.
Silently sitting by the spring, keeping Ai company, who had also sorted out half of her feelings and was not yet fully ready to reveal everything.
With her head bowed for so long, Yi Yi felt a slight ache. She rubbed her neck and looked up at the moon in the sky.
Suddenly, a genuine thought crossed his mind: "This child can't still be in the water, can he? Won't he suffocate or get cold? Could it be that he has some kind of organ structure similar to that of a fish?"
