Chapter 45: "Yue Mingxi, do you like me?"...

In the sea of ​​flowers, countless specks of light surrounded the two of them, illuminating each other.

Hearing the clear "I like you," Yue Mingxi's mind went blank.

Thump thump thump.

A storm raged within her, and Yue Mingxi could barely hold onto the flowers Wu Shanqing had given her.

Raising her head, Yue Mingxi pinched her palms, trying her best to control herself and not panic. "You...do you know what you're saying?"

The wind lifts the white veil of Wushan Mountain, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

“I know what I’m talking about, Yue Mingxi.” Wu Shanqing sensed her and said earnestly, word by word, “I like you. It’s not the liking between friends, it’s the liking between a man and a woman, it’s the liking that makes me want to be with you for the rest of my life.”

A bitter feeling welled up in Yue Mingxi's heart. She looked up at him, her eyelashes trembling. "You fool, do you know how long your life is? How can you say such things?"

The rest of your life is long and endless. After I'm gone, how will you live?

The solution from the spirits has yet to be found. It would be a good thing if I could live for hundreds of years just by relying on the Dragon Blood Fruit.

For me, these centuries have undoubtedly been a tremendous surprise and a stroke of luck; for you, they are but a tiny fraction of your long life, so small as to be negligible.

You're so stubborn, once you've set your mind on someone, it's for life. How could I dare to agree or reciprocate your feelings?

“I know how long it has been,” Wu Shanqing’s voice sounded incredibly gentle in the darkness, “After meeting you, my life has already come to an end. Your life is your life, so you don’t need to worry about me being lonely in the future. Before you go, just kill me.”

Yue Mingxi's eyes widened, and she looked at him with a look of horror. "Wu Shanqing, do you know what you're saying?"

Wu Shanqing chuckled softly, "Of course I know, I'm perfectly clear-headed. Don't worry about so much, just answer me whether it's true or not."

After his hand remained at his side for a long time, Wu Shanqing quietly raised it and then lowered it again.

Taking a deep breath, enveloped in the rich fragrance of flowers, Wu Shanqing lowered his head nervously and asked, "Yue Mingxi, do you like me?"

Yue Mingxi's eyes welled up with tears. She tightly gripped the pine flower in her hand and sniffed. "Yes, I like you, but I have too little time to spend with you."

Hearing her answer, fireworks lit up Wu Shanqing's heart.

With his hand no longer hovering by his side, Wu Shanqing raised his hand and gently rubbed Yue Mingxi's head. "Silly girl, time is the most insignificant thing to me. I've had enough of living and wish I could die right now. It was your appearance that gave me the motivation to live again. The past six months with you have been the happiest time of my life."

Rarely expressing his feelings, Wu Shanqing's ears gradually turned red. "Yue Mingxi, without you, no matter how long I live, I'm just a number, without any meaning."

Yue Mingxi blinked, holding back her tears, and stretched out her arms, following her heart, she hugged Wu Shanqing tightly.

"I will try to live a very, very long time. I want to stay with you forever. You can't die."

Wu Shanqing reached out and hugged Yue Mingxi back, a smile playing on his lips. "Okay."

The boy bent over, his cool breath surrounding Yue Mingxi. Yue Mingxi pressed herself against Wu Shanqing, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Shanqing lowered his head and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Yue Mingxi wriggled out of his arms, her eyes crinkling as she said, "I remember the first time we met, I crashed in your yard, my whole body aching so badly I couldn't open my eyes. When you checked my breath and held me, I thought you smelled wonderful. Today, I can finally breathe in you to my heart's content."

Wu Shanqing grumbled in dissatisfaction, "It's not my yard, it's our yard."

Amused, Yue Mingxi curled her lips and said, "Alright, alright, it fell into our yard."

Wu Shanqing's lips curled up unconsciously. Recalling the past, she smiled softly and deliberately imitated her voice, saying, "Back then, when I held you, you struggled fiercely in my arms. Today, when I hold you, you finally stop struggling."

Yue Mingxi smiled and said, "When I was suddenly lifted into the air, I thought you were going to throw me into the sky. I was so scared that I had a stress reaction."

Wu Shanqing asked in surprise, "You were actually conscious at that time?"

Yue Mingxi looked up at him and said, "My eyesight is super good, abnormally good. I can see thousands of miles away."

"That's amazing." Wu Shanqing smiled and praised.

"Hehehe." Yue Mingxi laughed, looking at Wushanqing through the speckled lights, liking it more and more.

The hand that was hanging below her was taken by a long, slender, and cool hand. Yue Mingxi moved her fingers and intertwined her fingers with Wu Shanqing's.

Wu Shanqing laughed and shook their clasped hands. "Do you like this sea of ​​flowers?"

"I love it so much." Yue Mingxi smiled.

"Here you go." Wu Shanqing rubbed her head.

"!" Yue Mingxi's eyes widened as she looked up at Wu Shanqing. A huge question arose in her mind. She blinked and asked, "Wu Shanqing, did you plant all these flowers?"

With his head down, Wu Shanqing's ears turned red. "This is the secret behind my trip to the snow mountain."

Yue Mingxi stared at him with wide eyes. "So, you fainted in the snow because of these flowers?"

Ouch, he'd jumped into a hole. Wu Shanqing shook his head haphazardly, "No."

"You're lying." Yue Mingxi saw through him immediately. She put on a serious face and said, "Wu Shanqing, you're lying to me again."

Wu Shanqing said earnestly, "Their seeds have been improved by me and will no longer harm people. This is my private domain, protected by my barrier, and no one will harm them."

A minor accident? Yue Mingxi shook her head and chuckled; her boyfriend was really stubborn.

Looking at him with heartache, Yue Mingxi said earnestly, "We can't take such risks in the future. In my heart, you are the most beautiful person, and nothing can compare to you."

Wu Shanqing was stunned. "Really?"

Yue Mingxi nodded vigorously, "Really, really."

Wu Shanqing's ears burned. "You're the most beautiful in my heart too."

Looking at his innocent and adorable appearance, Yue Mingxi couldn't help but tease him. "Who was it that called me ugly before?"

Wu Shanqing shook their entangled hands and defended herself: "You were just born, your face was all wrinkled, you really weren't pretty."

"Hahaha, just kidding." Yue Mingxi laughed.

Looking at the beautiful sea of ​​flowers, Yue Mingxi suddenly realized something and looked up, eagerly saying, "Wu Shanqing, so after you came back from the snow mountain, you went out for several hours every day to study these Yisong flowers."

Wu Shanqing nodded, a smile curving his lips, and asked, looking down, "Are you sleepy? Shall we go home?"

Yue Mingxi shook her head. "I'm not sleepy at all. Today was so happy and exciting that I don't feel like I need to sleep."

Looking up at Wushan Qing, Yue Mingxi blinked and asked, "Are you sleepy?"

Wu Shanqing shook his head, "Not sleepy at all."

"Let's stay here a little longer, this place is so beautiful." Yue Mingxi's eyes were full of smiles.

"Okay," Wu Shanqing said gently, bowing her head.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Wu Shanqing conjured a giant swing in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers.

Holding Yue Mingxi's hand, Wu Shanqing smiled and said, "Sit on the swing, standing for so long will get tiring."

"What a beautiful swing! I love it!" Yue Mingxi skipped and hopped along behind Wu Shanqing.

The swing was covered with cushions, and Yue Mingxi leaned against the soft backrest. She turned to look at Wu Shanqing and said happily, "Thank you, Wu Shanqing, for curing the back pain that has bothered me for more than ten years."

"You're welcome," Wu Shanqing said with heartache, "You should have told me sooner."

Yue Mingxi blinked. "Were those twenty-odd days when you couldn't control yourself after turning into a dragon because of refining this pill?"

Wu Shanqing paused, then tried to come up with a reason, but Yue Mingxi saw through his intention and looked at him seriously. Yue Mingxi said earnestly, "Don't lie to me."

After a pause, Wu Shanqing pursed her lips and said softly, "I'm sorry, there are many things I didn't mean to hide from you. It's just that telling you would only make you sad, and I don't want to see you sad."

Yue Mingxi's eyes widened. "Besides this, you've been hiding a lot more from me?"

Wu Shanqing: "..."

He jumped into a pit again while trying to speak, and stood frozen in place, Wu Shanqing remained silent.

It seems so. Yue Mingxi sniffed and sighed softly, "Wu Shanqing, why are you so good to me?"

Wu Shanqing pursed her lips. "No, I'm not as good as you think. Some things I did were for my own sake."

“But from my perspective, you’re only with me for my own good.” Yue Mingxi blinked.

"I'm good to you, you don't need to feel embarrassed," Wu Shanqing said clearly, tilting his head to sense her.

The boy's pleasant voice rang in Yue Mingxi's ears, and Yue Mingxi's heart pounded as if a tsunami had struck.

Wu Shanqing's voice rang out again, "Yue Mingxi, you can't just see how good I am to you. You're also very good to me. When I was being sarcastic and cold to you, you were kind and generous. You would grill fish for me. When we were in the palace, you would pull me out of the rain, wipe away the black blood for me, and make me delicious shredded pork noodles. You would cook for me every day, massage me, and lull me to sleep. You are really, really good. You are the one who has given the most."

He rarely spoke so much. After he finished speaking, Wu Shanqing's ears were already bright red. He coughed lightly and said, "In short, you are very, very good."

Yue Mingxi's heart pounded, and her face flushed. She said shyly, "It doesn't count as cooking. Strictly speaking, you're the one who cooks. I just add the seasonings and stir-fry it."

"I don't care, it's on you who cooked the meal," Wu Shanqing snorted.

"Okay, okay." Yue Mingxi smiled.

Looking up at the specks of light floating around them, Yue Mingxi poked one with her finger and turned to ask happily, "Wu Shanqing, where did these specks of light come from?"

Wu Shanqing smiled faintly, “It comes naturally from Yisonghua.”

In the pitch-black night sky, the two people happily talked to each other, their hands tightly clasped together, reluctant to part, as the swing gently swayed in the sea of ​​flowers.

The night was long, and before they knew it, Wu Shanqing's shoulder slumped as Yue Mingxi fell asleep against his back.

Wu Shanqing paused in his speech and carefully held Yue Mingxi in his arms.

Standing up, Wu Shanqing raised his hand and summoned wind bubbles.

But the wind bubble did not heed the summons and reveal itself.

Wu Shanqing paused, then raised his hand and called out again, but there was still no response from the air.
