The moon rises above the branches, and the night is quiet.
Feng Guang stayed up with Fang Yue, knowing he was a restless sleeper. But when she woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and saw him still awake, just quietly watching her, she felt a pang of sadness after keeping his eyes open for a long time.
She hugged his waist in bed and whispered, "Fang Yue, go to sleep. I won't leave. You need to rest."
"Let me check on you again." He let her rest her head in the crook of his arm, his other hand around her waist. "Once you fall asleep, I'll be able to fall asleep soon too."
"I don't believe it." She muttered, "Fang Yue, don't overthink it. I've been in this world for several days now and haven't left yet, right? Maybe... I won't leave again."
"What about our glorious master and senior brother...?"
"They...sigh, I wonder if they've even noticed I'm missing." Suddenly remembering Xuan Qingzi and Shang Baizi, Feng Guang sighed again, snuggling closer to him. "But I don't have a perfect solution either. It might sound unfilial to say this, but in front of you, I don't have time to think about anyone else. Look at you, so easily deceived. What if you died if I wasn't there to protect you?"
He laughed, "Yes, thank you for the scenery protecting me."
"Hmph, it's good that you know how important I am." She tugged at a strand of his hair and said again, "Fang Yue, next time you see that old scoundrel, you can't be soft-hearted, and you can't let him sneak up on you again, understand?"
His eyelids drooped. "I know."
"Don't be sad, he doesn't deserve to be your master."
"As long as there is beauty, I am not sad."
Feng Guang chuckled, burying her head in his chest, her nose filled with his pleasant scent, and a sweet feeling welled up inside her. "Fang Yue, you're so good to me."
"The scenery is beautiful too," Fang Yue whispered, her gentle tone intoxicating. She always managed to draw his attention to her, making him constantly think that he wished he could embed her into his body and never be separated from her.
He truly loved this girl, and he truly wanted to cherish her and hold her dear. This man, who had cultivated himself for many years, was suddenly overcome with emotion, and his feelings for her came so intensely.
Listening to his strong heartbeat, Feng Guang couldn't fall asleep any longer. The moonlight streaming into the room added a touch of allure that made one feel confused and infatuated.
She reached out from under the covers, her index finger tracing the perfect contours of his profile with delicate, slow strokes. She suddenly exclaimed, "Fang Yue, you're so handsome. I always feel like I'm the one who's lucky that you like me."
"No." He raised his hand and placed it on the back of her hand. "It's my luck to have encountered such beauty."
Feng Guang couldn't resist and leaned in to kiss the corner of his lips, asking with a curious smile, "Fang Yue, am I the first person you've ever liked?"
“Yes…” His eyes brightened considerably because of her kiss.
"You're older than me. Before you met me, didn't you meet anyone who made your heart flutter? Like that... what little junior sister of yours?"
Sure enough, she still harbored resentment towards her junior sister.
Fang Yue couldn't understand why Feng Guang was so obsessed with his junior sister. Perhaps it was because she was the only woman he knew who would appear by his side. "My junior sister and I weren't very close. Although she often came to see me, I would always just tell her to cultivate diligently. Later... she stopped coming to see me so often."
So, if you're not familiar with someone, how can you be attracted to them?
