Ancient architecture of the Spirit Slaying Path.

"Auntie, here it is. Go in by yourself. I'll take a short walk around the area. When I'm done, have Uncle call me using his smartwatch." Fu Yue waved and ran off.

A villa built to a one-to-one scale of a private residence in the capital city stood before Wu Yue at this moment.

The wind howled around her, and aircraft sped through the sky. Standing beneath a sycamore tree, she heard a song drifting from the street: "Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control and I need you now."

For some reason, tension began to spread to every part of my body.

-

On the fifth floor of the villa, Yan Chiyu, his appearance disguised, stood by the window, gazing into the distance. A gust of wind blew in from the open window, ruffling the young man's dark, lustrous hair.

Once home, his blue eyes no longer needed to be concealed. His pupils were a deep, dark blue, like the calm sea at midnight, with undercurrents surging beneath and waves crashing.

Cuihua and Tiezhu were lounging on the windowsill, basking in the sun like salted fish.

Yan Chiyu patted his pockets, finding them empty. He realized that he hadn't brought any cigarettes because he had gone out with Fu Yue first.

He turned back into the room, pulled out a lollipop, and bit into it.

As he turned around, he saw Cuihua on the windowsill flailing her arms and legs, as if she had seen something. He couldn't sense the little paper figure's emotions, but then he saw Cuihua jump off the windowsill.

He had a premonition. Only she could have caused Cuihua to lose her composure like this.

Yan Chiyu didn't even go to the window to check; he ran all the way to the first-floor plaza. The lollipop hit the ground with a crisp cracking sound.

As he ran, the false mask on his face crumbled little by little.

Those deliberately suppressed memories flooded my mind.

They first met at the corner of Songcheng No. 5 Middle School; her serious expression shattered his tried-and-true pretense.

The first exchange of friendship tokens: Cuihua and a One Piece figurine.

She trembled and hid behind me when she was afraid of ghosts. Her fair face and the fear in her eyes made me want to protect her.

She was both aloof and passionate, both fragile and strong.

When did I start liking this guy?

He forgot.

But right now, he's completely out of control.

As Wu Yue watched the young man running towards her, her mask shattered, revealing her true face.

She stood there, holding Cuihua, her eyes crinkling with tears: "Hi, little angel who protects against ghosts. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Yan Chiyu strode towards Wu Yue, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her roughly into his arms. He lowered his head slightly, his deep blue eyes hidden behind thick lashes, "This is the second time. I don't want a third time."

"I promise!"

Wu Yue lifted her head from his embrace, stood on tiptoe, and kissed the corner of his pursed lips: "Boyfriend, I miss you so much, I want to see you so much."

Yan Chiyu returned the kiss forcefully, holding Wu Yue's waist and whispering her name: "Wu Yue... Wu Yue..."

The girl's face flushed slightly, and she turned away to speak.

"Yan Chiyu. I'm all alone, with only a panoramic map of mountains and seas as my dowry. Will you marry me?"

The pupils of a young person are like an earthquake.

His palm trembled slightly as he gripped Wu Yue's hand tightly, his voice firm and hoarse: "Please marry me."

"Okay~"

Before sunset, he finally grasped the light that belonged to him.

Inside the small building, the long, melodious chimes rang out slowly, as if time had frozen at that moment.

"Actually... on the sixth day when I went out, I fell in love with a handsome guy at first sight. I was planning to go and bump into him again today and make friends with him through Xingwei."

Today marks the sixth day since she left home.

Yes, she fell in love at first sight with a guy named Yan Chiyu.

As a paper figure

Cuihua, my tears soaked my lapel.

The master is back! The master is back!

happy!

...

...

I couldn't hold back anymore.

Last time I gave the first hug to the pitiful Daddy Yan, this time I want to be the first little paper doll to hug my master tightly!
