Looking at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed, Little Gem was stunned. He sat down by the bed and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
Women in the human world demand that men take responsibility after just looking at their feet. Since he has slept in the same bed with Bai Yu for so long, shouldn't he also take responsibility?
Being responsible... probably means marrying her.
Little Gem was a little happy. He held his breath and carefully lifted her blanket. Just as he was about to step inside, she opened her eyes.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Little Gem said, "I can't sleep."
"If you can't sleep, you can go out and cultivate. Immortals don't actually need to sleep and won't do anything wrong."
These words sounded extremely cruel to Little Gem.
"Baiyu, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry. Forgive me. Let's be like before, okay?"
Bai Yu looked at him, somewhat speechless. "So much like before? I'll turn into a snake and sleep with you?"
Little Gem blushed as she thought of something.
"You don't have to turn into a snake."
"You're dreaming."
From then on, Baiyu stayed at Wanbaoshan, but she didn't get close to Xiaobaoshi. They ate and slept separately, and she refused Xiaobaoshi's visits with various excuses.
This completely broke Little Gem's temper; he couldn't eat or sleep well, and his mood was terrible.
"I really know I was wrong, please stop torturing me."
Bai Yu was arranging flowers and ignored him. These flowers were brought by the spring rain and were very fresh, still covered with dew.
Little Gem was a little angry. He went forward, picked up the flowers, and wanted to throw them on the ground, but then angrily put them down.
Why don't you throw it away?
Bai Yu glanced at him in surprise.
He said, "You'll be angry."
Bai Yu smiled slightly, "You know I'll get angry now. It seems Chunyu should send me more things to give you a good jolt."
Little Gem clasped her hands together and said, "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please don't upset me."
"no."
To please her, Little Gem collected all sorts of good things, even managing to trick Mingyue into giving them away.
Mingyue had a very beautiful pink pearl, which she intended to make a necklace for her daughter's full moon celebration. Little Gem, unaware of this, secretly took it out, but was caught before she could go far.
Zhuque glanced at Mingyue and deliberately said, "How do you want to deal with this little thief? I'll do whatever you say."
"Naturally, it is a gift for His Majesty."
Little Gem cried out, "I'm Little Gem, Suzaku! Look carefully, look... Ah!"
He was thrown at the entrance of the main hall, and Mingyue even used a spell to make him stick firmly to the ground.
Early in the morning, when the main hall doors opened, Sisi saw the little gem lying on the ground, its body twisted.
She stepped forward. "What are you doing?"
There was a line of words on the ground. Little Gem felt ashamed and tried to cover it with her body, but Sisi still saw it.
Her face turned cold. "Did I teach you to steal?"
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, I just..."
Little Gem tearfully recounted what had happened in the past few days, saying, "I just wanted to make Baiyu happy and let her see my sincerity. That pink pearl is very valuable."
Sisi said with a hint of helplessness, "True love isn't about giving her expensive pink pearls, but about genuinely loving her and touching her heart with sincerity, understand?"
She didn't understand what she meant by "little gemstone" at all.
It was time for court, so Sisi lifted the spell and let him go. Little Gem walked listlessly toward Wanbao Mountain with his head drooping.
"You want to marry her?"
Zhou Qiyan suddenly appeared beside him.
Little Gem cried out and grabbed his arm, shouting, "Fifth Brother, please give me some advice! Bai Yu doesn't want to get along with me like before anymore!"
"She has already become human, so naturally she cannot."
"But I can't sleep without her by my side."
Zhou Qiyan seemed thoughtful. "Have you figured it out? Do you like her, or are you dependent on her, or just want her to sleep with you?"
Aren't these two the same?
"no the same."
Zhou Qiyan said, "When you like someone, your heart starts pounding the moment you see her, and you want to give her the best things in the world. If she's unhappy, you're unhappy too; if she's sad, you're sad too."
"If it's just dependence, then you won't care about her thoughts or her emotions. You just want her to sleep with you, and then push her away as if nothing happened after you're done sleeping."
"I like white jade."
Without hesitation, Little Gem said, “I feel terrible that she left. I don’t want her to be unhappy. I want her to be close to me and give her all the good things.”
His daring to steal Mingyue's things proves her last words.
"But what's wrong with liking her? She ignores me completely and doesn't even want to talk to me."
Zhou Qiyan gave him a hard knock on the head. "If you like her, you should let her know. Go confess to her, tell her you like her, and see what she says."
Little Gem nodded. "I understand."
He ran back excitedly. Bai Yu was drinking tea. The closer he got, the faster Xiao Baoshi's heart beat. By the time he stood in front of her, his heart was pounding.
Bai Yu glanced at him. "Is something the matter?"
"I…"
Little Gem swallowed hard, her face slightly flushed. "I have something to tell you, don't go."
Bai Yu sensed something, put down her cup, and looked at him.
"I like you."
Besides those words, there was also the rustling of leaves. Bai Yu paused, then the smile on her lips gradually faded. "Are you serious?"
Little Gem clenched her hands, but her face was very sincere. "Of course, I'm serious, White Jade. I like you, I like you a lot."
"Then what."
"Then?"
Little Gem was stunned; Fifth Brother hadn't told him what happened next.
Seeing his expression, Bai Yu's smile vanished instantly. "That's it?"
Little Gem glanced at her cautiously and asked tentatively, "And then, as night fell, we..."
Bang!
Bai Yu slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Say that again?"
Little Gem immediately stood up straight, her mind racing. She quickly thought of something and blurted out, "I know! Then we'll get married! We'll get married!"
Bai Yu's complexion improved slightly.
"when?"
"Tomorrow, it'll be done tomorrow!"
Bai Yu rolled her eyes at him, "You're in too much of a hurry. You should go find the Old Man of the Moon to calculate the auspicious date."
"Yes, yes, yes... wait..."
Little Gem belatedly realized, "You...you mean you agree to marry me?"
"But I'm different..."
Little Gem immediately interrupted her, "No! You've already agreed, you can't go back on your word!"
After he finished speaking, he reached out and hugged Baiyu into his arms. "That's great! You won't have to marry Chunyu after all!"
"……What's the meaning?"
Little Gem covered her mouth, "No, no, I was just talking nonsense, you misheard me."
Bai Yu was too lazy to argue with him anymore. "Alright, since it's settled, let's go now. I'm going back to rest."
Aren't you coming with me?
"After the wedding."
Little gem, "..."
