I was even more confused. Just now, You told them to build the kitchen, so how come now You is building it himself?
"But you just said to send someone else, I thought..."
"I wanted to give you a surprise."
Surprise? More like shock. What's so great about this? I saw my own bewildered expression reflected in You's eyes.
Seeing my confusion, You chuckled and said, "I was wondering how you would react if you stayed there and suddenly saw a house built around you."
I realized that You was just trying to scare me.
"Let's go, I'll make you something delicious when we get back." You gently patted my head and stood up.
"Okay." I shook my head to clear my mind of the jumbled thoughts, and held You's hand with peace of mind. As long as we live each moment to the fullest, who can say what the future holds?
I stayed in the abyss for almost a week. This period was similar to my previous seclusion in the mountains, except that You became a bit busier.
"Feng Su, do you want to go see Hao?" I lay on the porch, one leg dangling aimlessly, trying to see Feng Su playing on the water ahead.
Hearing me call her, Feng Su immediately stopped playing in the water and turned to look at me. "Of course I want to." After saying that, Feng Su floated lightly towards me again. As soon as she landed, the few drops of water on her body splashed all over my face. "Master, shall we go now?"
I squinted, wiped the water off my face, and then said, "When You comes back, tell him, and then we'll go."
"Okay." Feng Su nodded happily, and after fiddling with it for a while, she said, "By the way, I'll go to the kitchen to get some food for Hao. Hao loves snacks the most."
"Go quickly." As soon as Feng Su said that, I thought of Hao's eating habits. I thought we wouldn't see each other for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet again so soon.
"etc."
"What's wrong?" Feng Su stopped abruptly when he heard me call him.
"Feng Su, we invited Hao to come here for a few days. Will he come?" I asked, resting my chin on my hand. Everything here is great—leisurely, comfortable, and we have everything we need, plus You feeding us. It's just so incredibly boring... This huge palace is completely deserted, and You won't let me go out on my own. So I spend all my time sitting on the rooftop watching the world outside. Sun and Moon City is the most prosperous place; the other side of the palace is always brightly lit, and you can hear the cheerful laughter of the people from time to time. It makes me so itchy to go out and explore. No, I absolutely have to get You to take me out for a stroll today.
"Of course he will! I think Hao will be overjoyed."
"I hope so." A satisfied smile curved my lips. "Go quickly, and remember to give Hao some extra; he loves sweets."
"Okay," Feng Su replied cheerfully, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I lay back down, this time stretching my swinging legs back and crossing them. Luckily, no one was around, so I didn't have to constantly worry about my posture.
I lay there for a while, then turned over and counted on my fingers how long it would take for You to come back. Suddenly, I seemed to see a figure out of the corner of my eye.
I tilted my head to look closely, and who else could it be but You?
You was dressed in a purple outfit, her ink-black hair was tied up high, and a few stray hairs fell around her face. Her skin was as white as jade and crystal clear. My man is so handsome.
Since regaining her memories of her past life, You has corrected her old little quirks. For example, You used to pay the most attention to her appearance, but now she doesn't care as much. However, she is more confident in her words and actions, and her former kingly aura is fully displayed. It's hard to know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Xin'er." Youyuan waved to me from afar, then flew up the stone steps from below.
"You." I sat up and opened my arms to ask You for a hug, and You easily hugged me.
Did you miss me?
"Who misses you? We just saw each other." I stubbornly refused to admit it.
I miss you.
He's so glib-tongued, I thought to myself.
"By the way, You, I want to go out."
"Where are you going?" As soon as You heard that I wanted to go out, she immediately became nervous and stared at me anxiously.
"I want to go to the Miasma Forest to see Hao."
"Hao?" You frowned, as if pondering who Hao was, but then she immediately realized and asked me softly, "The little red demon from the Miasma Forest?"
"Yes." I nodded. "It's him. I met him in the Abyss. We've always been together. I miss him so much."
She sighed softly, "Go if you want to."
"Why are you so easy to talk to today?" I was a little surprised. Just a few days ago, You seemed to have no room for negotiation, but today you agreed so easily?
"Mmm." Youyan smiled gently, her eyes clear and bright.
I stared at the ghost for a long time, feeling that something was amiss, but whatever, as long as I can go, that's fine.
"I told you not to go and give me that look back." You reached out and pinched my cheek, teasingly saying, "Then don't go."
"No, I want to go," I quickly retorted.
"Go~" You drawled, tightening her grip on my hand. "I'll go with you."
"Okay." With You by my side, I feel more at ease.
Just as You and I were getting all lovey-dovey, Feng Su returned with a bag of food. "Master, oh, You Yuan is back."
"What are you carrying?" You glanced at the golden package in Feng Su's arms, sniffing it lightly. "So much food?"
"Xin'er, eat less." You turned her head and looked at me with a gentle gaze, touching my still flat stomach. "Although we can gain weight from food, but..."
"It's not for me to eat," I quickly interrupted You.
"Hmm?" You Qing exclaimed, then turned to look at the package in Feng Su's hand with a puzzled expression before suddenly realizing, "Is this for that little red devil?"
"His name is Hao, not Little Red Ghost."
"knew."
"Let's go." I got up from You's arms, took a few steps, and shook the dust off my clothes.
"Go now?" You sat on the ground, looking up at me.
“That’s right, Feng Su even brought a gift. Desserts won’t taste good if they’re left out too long.” I reached out a hand and helped You up from the ground.
"What's the rush?" You sat on the ground, refusing to get up, and slowly spoke while supporting her head with one hand.
"Hurry up," I urged softly. "I haven't seen Hao in so long."
You had no choice but to get up, grabbing my hand and turning back to Feng Su, saying, "Grab my hand."
Feng Su obediently did as she was told, tugging at You's sleeve. Now I feel that Feng Su treats You better than she treats me. You has now become Feng Su's idol, and You will occasionally teach Feng Su some techniques about formations.
You glanced at us, closed her eyes and silently recited the formation. The stars shifted before our eyes, and the next second, the miasma forest appeared in front of us.
