"Pfft..."

The girl's smile, as bright as the moon, caused a subtle blush to creep onto the boy's face.

He... seems to have fallen for this girl who's protecting him...

Even if she's not human...

They traveled by train for three days and three nights before finally arriving in Kyoto.

"Wooden pole, give me the bundle."

Mu Gan stepped forward and handed a small package to Dou Shiliu, containing gold and silver jewelry from her room.

"Xiantong, take it to the jewelry store and exchange it for money."

Xian Tong took the items, and Dou Shiliu led him into an antique shop.

Xiantong opened the bundle, revealing some old items inside.

The antique shop owner was a connoisseur. Xian Tong negotiated the price with him, and finally, after Dou Shiliu nodded, he reached an agreement with the owner.

With her bank card in her hand, Xian Tong's steps were still a little unsteady as she left the store.

His expression was somewhat blank and dazed.

"Magic lamp... pinch me! I've never had that much money!"

Dou Shiliu pinched him slowly and deliberately; she was allowed to touch him.

A slight pain came, and the boy felt as if he were in a dream.

"very nice"

The boy turned to look at Dou Shiliu beside him, feeling a warmth in his heart.

"Thanks"

Thank you for appearing in my life

Thank you for being so tolerant of everything about me.

Dou Shiliu was a little confused by the "thank you" and flicked his forehead.

"No need to thank me. I'll help you a lot in the future, so you should repay me with your body."

The boy blushed as he looked at the smiling girl, and gently tiptoed to kiss her extremely thin lips.
