Thinking of this, Bai Tuantuan's heart skipped a beat. She quickly suppressed the indescribable feeling in her heart, finished eating the glutinous rice ball, and looked up: "Let's go!"

However, Ning Nanxiao stared at Bai Tuantuan for a while. Bai Tuantuan looked suspicious and was about to ask a question when she saw Ning Nanxiao reach out and wipe the corner of Bai Tuantuan's mouth.

The soft, warm touch made Bai Tuantuan's face turn bright red instantly.

Ning Nanxiao, as if electrocuted, quickly withdrew his grip, coughed twice, and said, "There's soup left. Let's go after we finish eating."

Bai Tuantuan quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe herself, then followed Ning Nanxiao toward the inn.

The bustling crowd calmed Bai Tuantuan down a bit. Just as she was about to say something to Ning Nanxiao to ease the awkwardness, a little child rushed over and bumped into her.

Seeing that Bai Tuantuan was about to fall, Ning Nanxiao quickly caught her around the waist. Their breaths mingled, and for a moment, neither of them moved.

"What a perfect match!" came an old woman's voice, smiling as she said, "Young master, would you like to buy a flower for your wife?"

"Look how beautiful the lady is!"

Bai Tuantuan quickly took two steps back, turning her head away from Ning Nanxiao's expression.

Ning Nanxiao smiled slightly, took the flowers from the old lady's hand, and gave her some copper coins: "Thank you, old lady."

"Hehe, great! That's wonderful!"

The old man took the coins and left.

Bai Tuantuan turned to look at Ning Nanxiao and saw that Ning Nanxiao had pinned the flower in her hair.

"nice."

Bai Tuantuan raised her chin: "Of course I'm good-looking!"

Looking at the proud and aloof Bai Tuantuan, Ning Nanxiao chuckled softly, his eyes filled with deep affection: "Tuantuan, why don't we go sit on the boat?"

Bai Tuantuan looked in the direction Ning Nanxiao was pointing. There were many boats on the river, each one exquisitely crafted, and she immediately became interested.

"good."

With Bai Tuantuan's agreement, Ning Nanxiao immediately wrapped his arm around Bai Tuantuan's waist and used his lightness skill to fly up.

"Boatman, bring out the best wine and food."

As he spoke, he handed the silver note to the boatman.

The boatman smiled and accepted the invitation: "Please come in, young master and madam. The drinks and snacks will be ready shortly."

Bai Tuantuan said she's gotten used to being misunderstood time and time again.

Too lazy to explain further, he followed Ning Nanxiao inside.

Although the boat is small, it is decorated in a particularly cozy way, and looking out at the scenery through the boat's windows has a unique charm.

Soon, the boatman brought out the drinks and snacks.

They are all home-style dishes, but everyone finds them delicious.

Even Bai Tuantuan, who had just eaten a big bowl of glutinous rice balls, couldn't help but eat another bowl of rice!

"This is so delicious!" Bai Tuantuan patted her belly and gave Ning Nanxiao a thumbs up. "This place is great!"

Ning Nanxiao poured a cup of tea and handed it to Bai Tuantuan, then drank two cups of wine himself before asking, "Have you eaten and drunk your fill?"

"Mmm." Bai Tuantuan nodded, sat down next to the window, enjoying the breeze and the view outside, feeling exceptionally comfortable.

"Then let's talk."

Ning Nanxiao stared at Bai Tuantuan, and when he met her questioning eyes, he smiled and said, "I love you. I wonder if Tuantuan loves me too?"

"Cough! Cough cough!"

Bai Tuantuan choked on her own saliva in an instant, which sobered her up. Looking at Ning Nanxiao's serious expression, she was stunned for a moment.

"Does Tuantuan need time to consider?"

Bai Tuantuan took a deep breath, her mind filled with memories of Ning Nanxiao, feeling the flutter in her heart, and pursed her lips: "There's no need to consider it."

"Hmm, so what does Tuantuan mean?" Ning Nanxiao asked casually.

But only he knew how nervous he was!

The cup in his hand was almost crushed.

His eyes were fixed on Bai Tuantuan, not wanting to miss any expression on her face.

Bai Tuantuan felt her face getting hot, but she didn't back down: "I think I might like you too."

"Smack!"

The wine glass was crushed.

The shards cut Ning Nanxiao's hand, and blood flowed down, startling Bai Tuantuan into standing there in a daze: "Ning, Ning Nanxiao?"

Coming to his senses, Ning Nanxiao used his spiritual power to soothe his wounds and took a deep breath, but his trembling voice still couldn't be hidden: "Say it again?"

Bai Tuantuan swallowed hard, then looked at Ning Nanxiao strangely: "I said I might like you, so, should we give it a try?"

Ning Nanxiao suddenly sat down next to Bai Tuantuan and held her hand tightly: "Once you've made up your mind, you can't go back on it."

Bai Tuantuan couldn't help but laugh: "Ning Nanxiao, are you nervous?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand, which was being held by Ning Nanxiao: "It's all sweaty!"

Ning Nanxiao's ears turned slightly red as she carefully cradled the white ball in her arms: "Yes, I'm naturally nervous to finally get my treasure."

A deep, resonant voice sounded in Bai Tuantuan's ear, and the breeze from her breath made her ears itch.

That alluring voice made her unable to help but succumb to it.

"Can you let me go? My body is numb." After what seemed like an eternity, Bai Tuantuan couldn't take it anymore and sighed, "Can we go back?"

"good."

Ning Nanxiao held Bai Tuantuan's hand tightly, not letting go for a moment, and went straight back to the inn.

"You won't go back on your word tomorrow, will you?"

Bai Tuantuan's cheek twitched: "Ning Nanxiao, I've told you at least a hundred times along the way, I won't! I won't go back on my word! Don't worry! You can rest assured!"

With that, he pushed Ning Nanxiao out, closed the door, and did it all in one smooth motion!

That day, Bai Tuantuan slept very well.

When I woke up, it was already noon the next day.

After washing up, I opened the door and saw Ning Nanxiao standing there: "You..."

"Tuantuan's awake, shall we go eat?"

Bai Tuantuan looked at Ning Nanxiao strangely: "You woke up so early, why didn't you wake me?"

No rush.

"Young master, have you had your meal?" The waiter trotted over and said with a smile, "Miss, you're finally awake! The young master has been waiting at your door all night!"

"Ahem!" Ning Nanxiao glared at the waiter, then pulled Bai Tuantuan down to sit. "Don't listen to his nonsense."

Bai Tuantuan burst out laughing: "Ning Nanxiao, you're the King of Hell! How could you be afraid of a mere Meng Po breaking her word?"

Ning Nanxiao looked at Bai Tuantuan helplessly: "I'm just not quite sure that you actually understand the feelings between men and women."

"It's nothing, I..."

Suddenly, Bai Tuantuan seemed to have thought of something, and after a moment of contemplation, she said, "Ning Nanxiao, did you try to take advantage of me when I was still Meng Po? But I didn't understand the feelings between men and women back then, so I rejected you?"

"Is it because I've agreed to your request that you're now feeling so anxious and uncertain?"

Bai Tuantuan found Ning Nanxiao's words increasingly reasonable and couldn't help but look at him with pity: "You're so pitiful! Of all people to like, why did you have to like someone like me who doesn't understand romantic relationships?"

Ning Nanxiao: ...
