At this moment, Tang Wan couldn't open her eyes or close them.
After thinking about it, she opened her eyes and pretended to have just woken up. The wide sleeves slid down her arms, revealing two smooth arms.
Chi Yu was flustered when he heard the noise. Tang Wan got up from the ground and asked him casually, "When did you come?"
"I, I..." He kept talking for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on. He could only stand there scratching his head awkwardly and giving a silly smile.
Seeing him like this, Tang Wan secretly found it a little funny, so she deliberately exclaimed: "What's wrong with your face? Why is it so red?"
Chi Yu suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and wished he could find a hole to crawl into, but Tang Wan had no intention of letting him go. She moved closer to him, stretched out a cold hand, and touched his cheek.
Chi Yu immediately felt a lot more comfortable on his face, but it soon started burning again. He didn't know whether it was because of the pain or the embarrassment.
"Wanwan, I bumped into it accidentally. It's nothing serious. Don't worry."
Tang Wan's expression was suspicious, and it was clear that she didn't believe what he said.
But Chi Yu had no other choice. He couldn't just say, "I slapped myself because I was ashamed of kissing you without your consent."
He immediately changed the subject: "Well, Wanwan, I'm going to take you somewhere, follow me."
"Where are you going?" Tang Wan was held by the wrist by him and taken a few steps forward.
"You'll find out when you come."
"So mysterious, hey, don't pull the wool over my eyes."
Tang Wan followed him and walked for a long way before finally reaching the place he mentioned.
Her eyes were still covered by Chi Yu's broad palm, and her long eyelashes fluttered up and down, making Chi Yu's heart beat faster.
"Three, two, one, all right, open your eyes."
Tang Wan slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a sea of colorful flowers that almost occupied her entire field of vision. A faint fragrance wafted over. Chi Yu was standing in the sea of flowers, looking at her sincerely.
His eyes were so bright that people were afraid to look directly at him. Tang Wan seemed to have guessed what he wanted to do, so she obediently extended her hand to him.
Chi Yu reached out and firmly grasped his future.
She looked at each flower carefully and found that they were almost all roses, just of different types. She suddenly remembered that a few months ago, she had inadvertently mentioned to Chi Yu that she liked roses.
I didn't expect that he remembered it so well and planted so many.
It would be a lie to say that I'm not moved at all. Anyone who is treated with such care would be touched.
Just as she was stunned, Chi Yu's clear young voice rang in her ear: "Wanwan, reach out."
She subconsciously stretched out her other hand, and Chi Yu put a polished silver bracelet on her hand.
The bracelet was of average workmanship, even a bit rough, and one could tell at a glance who made it.
Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes: "Why give me this?"
Chi Yu licked his dry lips, and when he saw that she didn't look disgusted, he spoke: "Well... that's right, you said before that your parents didn't buy you a silver bracelet to keep you safe, so I thought that if others have it, you should have it too."
"You're not a child anymore." She didn't expect that someone would take her to heart just because she casually mentioned the regrets of her past life.
Chi Yu felt that this was wrong, so he immediately refuted her? "But, Wanwan is just like a little girl in my eyes. Besides, who says that only children can wear it?"
Tang Wan burst into laughter and said, "I'm already twenty years old, so much older than you. You, you only know how to say nice things to coax me."
Chi Yu looked at her. Some of his hair was scattered on his forehead, making him look particularly well-behaved. He looked directly into Tang Wan's eyes seriously and said, "No, I only speak the truth."
His tone was firm, making people inexplicably convinced.
Tang Wan lowered her eyes, no longer looking directly into his eyes, and asked, "Did you plant all these flowers?"
Chi Yu smiled, his eyes curved: "Yes, do you like it?"
"So many flowers...how long did it take you to grow them?" It must have taken a lot of effort to grow such a large area without her knowing.
She had good eyesight and could clearly see that so many flowers were full of vitality and not a single one was withered. It was obvious how much effort their owner had put into taking care of them.
Chi Yu's eyes were filled with pride. "It's only been two months. I come to check it out more often in my free time every day, and it's grown so much without me noticing."
For more than two months, he followed her to collect herbs almost every day, and was so busy that he sometimes even went to bed in the middle of the night. If he had time, he would probably do it while she was asleep.
She stood there, not knowing what to say for a moment, and her heart seemed to be filled with something.
After a while, she murmured, "Fool..." There were some tiny sobs in her voice, but she swallowed them quickly.
When Chi Yu heard her say this, he was not angry, but just looked at her with a smile: "Then... did the fool make you happy?"
Tang Wan threw herself into his arms, causing him to stagger. Chi Yu took a small step back before holding her steadily. Her face was pressed tightly against Chi Yu's chest.
The pounding sound of her heartbeat deafened her eardrums. The sound became louder and louder, and faster and faster, making it impossible to ignore it.
Her chin rested on his chest, and she looked at him with red eyes: "Happy, I'm so happy, Chi Yu..."
Chi Yu's eyes lit up even more, and he smiled and put his hand on her forehead: "That's totally worth it. I just spent some patience and time, and I can make you so happy. This is simply the best deal in the world."
He held Tang Wan loosely in his arms. To outsiders, the two of them looked no different from a newlywed couple.
…………
Chi Yu felt dizzy on the way back. He felt like he was in the clouds, floating in the air. It was so unreal.
Wanwan didn't refuse to be close to him, Wanwan even took the initiative to hug him!
If the timing wasn't wrong and Tang Wan wasn't right next to him, he would have probably rolled on the ground uncontrollably.
When they got home, Tang Wan found an excuse to send him away. Although Chi Yu felt a little confused, how could he refuse the words of his sweetheart when he had just tasted the sweetness?
So he put down what he was holding and went out again before he even had time to sit down on the stool.
When he went out, with a smile on his face, Situ Ye looked at his prince's red and swollen cheeks, and thought to himself that something was wrong. Could it be that Miss Tang rejected his prince's courtship and slapped him twice?
He thought so and asked. Chi Yu was originally smiling brightly, but when he heard this, his face immediately fell: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Situ Ye: ………? I feel so wronged. You clearly care about me, but His Highness says this to me!
