Early in the morning, Yu Wanwan was waiting at the entrance of Qinglu.

It was quite cold in the morning, and Yu Wanwan and the others were all a bit dazed.

Just as she was about to close her eyes, she felt a weight on her body. Yu Wanwan opened her eyes and saw Qinglu, who looked travel-worn, standing before her.

He hadn't slept for a day and a night, and when he returned, he heard the little female urgently looking for him, so he rushed over.

Qinglu's eyes held a hint of reproach as he tightened the belt of his outer robe: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go inside? It was so cold this morning. You just recovered from an illness; do you want to get sick again?"

Yu Wanwan was already feeling miserable after waiting for so long, and now, caught off guard by his scolding, she said pitifully, "It's your fault for hiding from me. I was afraid you would run away, so I waited here."

Seeing that the little female's eyes were red, Qinglu looked flustered, but didn't know how to comfort her. First, he patted the top of her head, and then he wiped the corners of her eyes.

After a period of confusion and helplessness, Qinglu finally realized her mistake and decisively admitted, "It's all my fault. I don't want to avoid you, but I'm worried that you hate me and I can't stay by your side. I really don't know what to do."

Yu Wanwan sniffed, her voice soft and sweet: "You said you wanted to stay by my side? Then why don't you want me to take responsibility? Don't you like me?"

“Of course not, of course I like you!” Qinglu said immediately.

"I've been avoiding you because I'm afraid you won't accept me, and I don't want you to accept me out of guilt." His earlobes turned bright red; this kind of tantrum was just too embarrassing.

Yu Wanwan suddenly said, "Then I'll tell you now, I like you too. Would you like to be my partner?"

Qinglu was completely stunned: "What..."

Yu Wanwan cleared her throat, a little embarrassed: "I said, I like you, and I hope you will be my partner. You don't want to?"

"Of course I'm willing!" Qinglu said anxiously, his voice becoming louder and echoing in the quiet mountains.

This time, his face turned completely red.

Yu Wanwan couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

Qinglu was embarrassed by her laughter, but the little female's laughter was just too cute.

He tentatively reached out and pulled Yu Wanwan into his arms.

Since the little female says she likes him, then a hug should be okay, right? Does that mean they can become a couple now?

Thinking of this, Qinglu felt a little nervous.

He still carried the scent of ice and snow, cool and slightly intoxicating, mixed with a faint aroma of wine.

Yu Wanwan leaned against his chest and could clearly hear his heartbeat, which was unusually fast.

She looked up: "Qinglu? What's wrong? Your heart is beating so fast."

"I..." Qinglu opened his mouth, looking at the little female's pink lips, his throat dry.

"I……"

"What?"

"I……"

I listened to Qing Lu for a long time, but I couldn't utter a single word.

Yu Wanwan raised her eyebrows: "If you don't tell me, I'm going back. It's so cold at the cave entrance."

She made a move to leave, and Qinglu quickly hugged her even tighter: "What I wanted to say was, when are we going to get married?"

So that's what I wanted to ask.

Yu Wanwan smiled, but shook her head: "Not yet."

"Why?" Qinglu stepped back a little and asked urgently.

"Because of my partner..." Although it is always said that finding a partner is a female's right, Yu Wanwan felt that such a big thing should be told to them first.

"I'll tell them about our situation first. You have to rely on your own efforts to get their consent. If they don't agree, you'll just have to keep trying."

Qinglu envied Yu Wanwan's attention to her partners, and after learning that this was the reason, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, leave this to me."

Between males, there's no question of agreement or disagreement; it's all about strength.

"There's one more thing. I have a partner, he is..."

"I know."

Yu Wanwan blinked: "Do you know what I'm going to say?"

Qinglu nodded firmly.

"No, how did you know?"

She never brought Qinglu near the cave!

Qinglu pursed her lips, but still told the truth: "I peeked, so I know."

Yu Wanwan: "..."

If he hadn't admitted it himself, she really wouldn't have realized that Qinglu was this kind of person.

Qinglu hugged her tightly: "So you don't need to worry. As long as you are willing to accept me, everything will be fine."
