There's something else I really want to tell you.

"What is it?" His lips tightened even more. The muscles in his body tensed as well.

"I told Gecko before that I didn't love you. That's not true. I..."

But then the boy in front of him suddenly stood up.

He pulled her into his arms, stopping her from saying anything more.

She could smell his faint scent from when he was a boy.

He kissed her eyes tenderly.

For some reason, seeing her feel apologetic towards him, he was shaken but felt even more heartache.

Only then did he realize how terribly wrong he had been.

"Yanyan, I am your male."

"You will never have to feel sorry for me."

"With me, whatever you do is right."

He's struggled through life all by himself, with no one to teach him how to love.

He learned slowly, but now it seems he has mastered it.

...

A dark cloud covered the sky overhead.

The gecko looked at the two small beastmen sitting in front of him.

He had a look on his face like he'd just eaten shit.

However, couples often make up after a fight in bed, and now that they've stopped arguing and made up, that's great.

Si Yan sat to the side and asked him, "Gecko, when I first came to this world, Bai Feng took me to a world where I was twelve years old."

The gecko anticipated her question and replied, "That kid exploited a loophole in the world, originally intending to create more opportunities for himself."

Bai Feng was, after all, an excellent high priest who had worked for him for hundreds of years.

The gecko was quite understanding of him.

Then, the snake-beastman spoke up, "I have some recollection of this matter."

I originally thought that brief experience was just a dream.

"Out of the corner of my eye, I saw you and the high priest back then."
