Chapter 90 Enjoy this beautiful time; it won't hurt. ...
The sun was tilted, and its brilliant golden-red rays painted half the sky, creating a magnificent and colorful spectacle.
Easter unconsciously stroked Arebo's hair, which looked like the sunset on the horizon, absolutely beautiful.
Arip grabbed East's hand and teased, "You don't mind now?"
“Beautiful, the sunset is like melting gold, dazzling and spectacular,” East said earnestly.
"What am I supposed to say to you?" Areper chuckled.
“I’m telling you the truth, and you can accept it,” Easter said.
Arip laughed heartily, "You really are my darling."
The path they were walking on was a forest trail, where trees whose names they didn't know were still lush and green in this season. The trees blocked the light, scattering it and leaving only fragmented light and shadow.
East thought of his first day in this world, under the same tree, with the same spot of light, and couldn't help but chuckle. After learning more, he understood many things and rarely thought of Earth anymore.
He turned to look at the person beside him. Compared to his connection with Blue Star, he had built a deeper and more moving connection on this continent. Compared to his past wandering and drifting like duckweed, he now seemed to have found his home.
"What are you thinking about?" Arip asked.
They walked along the forest path and came to a spacious meadow, where tiny wildflowers of various colors dotted the velvety green grass, creating a harmonious scene.
East couldn't help but laugh out loud. Under Aribo's puzzled gaze, he smiled and explained, "That day I woke up on the mountain. After walking through the dense forest and coming down the mountain, I saw a meadow like this. I had just breathed a sigh of relief when everything went black."
There's no need to say more. How did he suddenly go black? What happened after he went black? That's something I can't go into detail about.
Only the last rays of sunlight remained on the horizon; the sunset was gradually losing its color, and a deep blue slowly seeped in, creating a mysterious and dreamlike scene.
“I thought I was going to survive, but I never expected to meet you,” Arip said. “It’s really fate.”
If it were anyone else, he would probably rather die than do that kind of thing with someone. But he happened to meet Easter at that time, a beautiful little rabbit, innocent and naive. Upon closer inspection, he realized he wasn't at a disadvantage, so there was no need for him to wrong himself.
“When I left, I wanted to leave you with more things, and I even considered taking you with me, otherwise it would seem like I was being irresponsible,” he said helplessly. “But at that time I was also in trouble. Whether it was nobles or black magicians outside, they were all causing me trouble. It was too dangerous for them to be by my side. And when I really came to my senses and saw your face clearly, I knew that if we got too close, it would be hard to say what would happen to us.”
Their identities are too sensitive. If they get entangled and their feelings are involved, no one would want to see it. Otherwise, why would they have to keep their relationship a secret?
"But darling, didn't you examine that silk ribbon closely?"
Eastbourne was still pondering, not expecting Arip to suddenly bring up this topic, but he still answered honestly: "I've seen it, I've seen it very carefully." More than carefully, he practically dismantled it.
Arip slapped his forehead and said, "It was my oversight. I forgot to mention that the silk ribbon has a forbidden spell drawn on it. When you are in mortal danger, it will activate on its own and teleport you away. The teleportation location is usually safe, and I will receive the news and be able to find you by following the contact on it."
[Host, I've checked carefully, and it's not like what he said at all.] The system usually wouldn't bother the two of them at this time, but since it concerned his reputation, he couldn't care less.
East, “…” How come none of them are reliable?
"Are you sure?" he asked the system in his mind.
The system paused, displaying the message: "100%... um..."
What doesn't East know? Alright, didn't he know firsthand how unreliable the system was at the beginning? How can he ignore the past just because he's grown up now?
"Host, it's highly likely that you had too many things to attend to at the time, and your strength was insufficient, leading to inaccurate detection," the system stammered, "It's also possible that the forbidden spell on that silk was concealed using a very powerful method."
“I know, but it’s not that important,” Easter said. Anyway, he never really needed the silk, so what difference did it make whether he knew or not? He would rather it be preserved as a memento.
"What's wrong?" Aribel asked after East's long silence.
“It’s nothing,” Easter said. “I just didn’t expect it. I thought it was just an ordinary piece of silk.” After all, it couldn’t have been such an important item as the blindfold he was blindfolded with.
“By chance, I didn’t have much on me at the time, you could even say I had nothing of value. That’s what I kept close to my body, which is why I was able to keep it,” Arip said calmly. That scheme was probably the hardest fall he had suffered in the past two years, and it was also a warning, telling him that no matter how outstanding he was, he was at most just an ordinary person.
East hesitated, knowing there must be many secrets involved, but unsure if it would be inappropriate for him to ask.
“That’s all in the past,” Arribel said in a light tone. “Why talk about such unpleasant things on such a beautiful day?”
As darkness fell, fireflies adorned with tiny lanterns emerged from the grass, casting a hazy glow on the scene, accompanied by the moonlight. The emerald green grass trembled gently, and the colorful flowers added to the beauty. The fragrance of flowers carried on the breeze from afar created a sweet and intoxicating aroma. The scene was so beautiful and dreamlike that it seemed unreal; the words "perfect day and beautiful scenery" could hardly capture even a fraction of its charm.
"Isn't it beautiful?" The fireflies flew into the dense forest, taking their light with them. The beautiful scenery was somewhat subdued, and only then did Arebo speak up to ask.
"Beautiful." Easter has seen his fair share of beautiful scenery, but perhaps it was his mindset, or perhaps it was the presence of a beautiful woman, but today's view was the most beautiful he had ever seen in his life.
"Do you like it?" Arip asked again.
“Of course I like it,” East replied.
"I hope I'm not making things difficult for you?"
East, "..."
"What?" Areber joked, "Have you forgotten the real purpose of our trip?"
East, “…” Could he really say he had forgotten? Wasn’t it better to just talk about love? In such beautiful scenery, it was too difficult to have any romantic thoughts.
Arip glanced at Easter, a half-smile playing on his lips. He took a step closer, closing the distance between them, and slowly placed his hand on the back of Easter's neck, caressing it as he moved closer until his lips finally touched Easter's.
"Mr. Rabbit, I like you." He whispered these words gently as he brushed his lips against Esther's.
The turmoil in East's heart was indescribable. He only knew that he wanted to be with the person in front of him forever, wishing that their flesh and bone marrow could be mixed together.
Easter held him tightly, feeling overwhelmed with emotion for the first time in this situation. In the past, Arip was always the more proactive one, but this time it was the opposite. Easter was fierce, as if he wanted to devour Arip whole.
A smile crossed Arip's eyes. He let East do as he pleased, and he couldn't be more satisfied. How could a gentle and mild approach suit them?
Easter licked and nibbled at Arip's lips, his tongue sweeping through Arip's mouth, not missing a single detail, while his hands were not idle either. He could not clearly feel the presence of the person in his arms through the clothes and fabric, and needed to be closer and more intimate.
Touching the supple yet strong skin, East's throbbing excitement subsided slightly. He clearly knew that his actions were inappropriate, but he only wanted to indulge himself and did not want to restrain himself.
"Baby~ Keep going." Aripelago hooked his arm around East and they fell onto the grass. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the person on top of him, his smile arrogant and unrestrained.
East stared blankly at that smile. How could there be such a good person in the world? No matter how happy he was, it was never enough.
Easter lowered his head and kissed Areber, this time with a gesture that could be described as devout. "Areber, I love you, I really, really love you." Even though he was in a superior position, it looked as if he was looking up at Areber.
Arribel moved his hand to the back of Easter's head. "Baby, do it if you like it. Show me how deep and heavy your love for me is with your actions." He tilted his head back and offered himself to her.
At their first meeting, the only thing East remembered was Arip's long, wavy hair, as radiant as the setting sun. Whenever he saw the sun about to set, he would think of Arip. And this time, it was highly likely that no matter day or night, whether he saw the sunrise or the sunset, whether there were birds and flowers, rivers and mountains... every moment, he would think of Arip, keeping it in his heart. Every time his heart pounded, he would say a word of joy to him.
Arip squinted at the person who was being so presumptuous on him. He had to admit, it was truly a sight to behold. A god had been tainted by the mortal world, and the ice and snow were melting away with the spring breeze. It was the most beautiful scene of the night.
"Baby, do you really like me that much?" A lazy smile played on Aribo's rosy lips. He never hesitated to provoke me in moments like these; respect and restraint shouldn't be used here. "How come I don't feel it?"
East frowned slightly.
“Honey, I’m in good health,” Arribel said. “Relax, it won’t hurt you. Or is it that you’re not strong enough?”
East knew that Areper was doing it on purpose, but that doesn't mean he could be indifferent just because it was intentional, especially at a time like this. What man could stand it?
Easter considers himself a normal man, and when faced with a question from his beloved, he naturally wants to show him the answer through his actions.
Arip stretched out his body and let Easter do as he pleased. He really needed to be stimulated, otherwise how could he enjoy such a good experience?
The night wind stirs the floating clouds, half-obscuring the bright moon. In the stillness of the night, apart from the chirping of insects and birds, what is more noticeable is the sound of voices that make one blush.
After a long while, the loudest noises gradually subsided.
“Baby, that’s more like it~ Remember to do it this way next time.” Arip said in a lazy, satisfied tone.
Easter remained silent, helping Ariber straighten his clothes. In that state, even a saint would be unable to maintain his sanity.
"Sweetie, sit down for a bit." Arip patted the grass next to him.
Easter hesitated for a moment, then lowered his hands and sat down where Areber had indicated.
The two of them had already experienced the softness and comfort of the grass, and they were both very comfortable sitting and waiting.
The moonlight was hazy, as if shrouded in a thin, cold mist, making the air feel cool.
"Mr. Rabbit, were you comfortable just now?" Arip asked very seriously. An uninformed person might think it was something very important.
East, "..."
"It's comfortable, isn't it?" Arip didn't necessarily have to wait for Easter's answer. "Mr. Rabbit, I'm not made of glass that will shatter at the slightest touch. I know you're thinking of me, that you care about me, that you're considerate and gentle, afraid that I'll be uncomfortable or hurt. But Mr. Rabbit, you clearly know what would truly make me happy, what would make us both comfortable, so why are you suppressing and restraining yourself?"
Before, there wasn't enough time; they were already spending too much time together, let alone having a heart-to-heart talk. This time is different. This time, they will obviously have more time. Okay, it's just that it seems longer than before, so he is willing to put in some effort to talk to Mr. Rabbit. Last night's talk was about feelings and the future; tonight's talk is about life.
“It’s like that in many places,” Aripel pulled Easter into his arms. “Like last night, it was good. Say what you want to say, express what you want to say clearly. I don’t want a perfect lover who is always considerate and tolerant of me. I want a living person who can cry and laugh, who can have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, who can be coquettish and throw tantrums... Do you understand?”
“Mr. Rabbit, I don’t know what kind of education you received. You’re too much of a gentleman, and the goodness you show is too fake. It’s as if I’m your partner, and you have a standard that you have to follow meticulously. In other things, this might be a compliment, but in matters of the heart, it’s not appropriate. We are having a serious relationship, not a forced marriage by our families. We don’t need to act like a model couple.”
"Be more carefree, don't bind yourself with rigid rules and regulations. Our relationship isn't that fragile." Arip concluded with this sentence, revealing that he had thought about this matter more than once or twice.
“Guoguo, I understand what you’re trying to say,” Easter said, struggling to process what he had just said. “But this is a habit I’ve developed over time. I don’t understand, is what I’m doing really that bad?”
“No, quite the opposite,” Arribel said. “The problem is that you’re doing too well. We’re all human, we all have our own tempers, and there will be some frictions. But you seem to have no temper at all.”
“I will try to change,” Easter said, turning to look at Areber. His blue eyes were vast and boundless, capable of encompassing everything, but at this moment, those eyes held only him. What an honor!
"But you should also know that habits are hard to change." He paused for a moment before finishing his sentence.
"No rush, take your time. We have plenty of time to work things out." Aribel ruffled Easter's hair, quite pleased. The conversation had gone well, another big step forward in their relationship. How could he not be happy?
Easter's eyes and brows beamed with a smile; to have found a true love is a great blessing.
“Baby, it’s getting late, let’s go home,” Arip said. Today was a perfect day, with no regrets.
Easter asked, "Want to sleep together?"
“Of course,” Areper replied.
