Seeing how obediently she followed him, the sundial couldn't help but order everyone to bring out all the food in the temple and place it in front of her. He then patted her head and said, "Eat."
Feng Guang stared at him without moving.
He then asked, "Don't you like these? Then I'll go to the imperial kitchen and get some other things."
“No need.” She grabbed his hand. “I just feel like… you’re treating me like a pet.”
The sundial paused for a moment and then said, "I hadn't thought of it that way."
"So now when you see me, all you think about is taking out food. Aren't you treating me like a pet?"
"I just noticed you like to eat, didn't I?" He sat down and casually pulled her onto his lap. Since they started dating, he'd become increasingly adept at these intimate gestures.
Although she said that, she wouldn't turn down food. She picked up a piece of pastry, leaned against the sundial, and said leisurely, "You really know me well."
“Of course I should understand you.” Sundial’s ears turned slightly red, and his voice involuntarily softened. “After all, we are going to get married.”
"Oh, right, we're getting married!" Feng Guang sat up straight, cupped his face, and said, "So when are you going to tell Shen Yue that you're going to marry me?"
"Of course, the sooner the better." He looked into her eyes and said softly, "Tomorrow I will go to see His Majesty and tell him that I want to marry you. Of course, the sooner we get married, the better."
"Alright..." Feng Guang said with concern, "What if Shen Yue doesn't agree?"
“If His Majesty does not agree…” the sundial said without hesitation, “then I will go and tell His Majesty that I want to resign from the position of High Priest.”
"What if he still disagrees?"
"If that's the case... then I'll take you away from here."
Feng Guang was stunned for a moment. Sundial's words were tantamount to saying that he wanted to elope with her. Their lives would probably be full of hardship and wandering. This was not a simple decision. She sighed again, not even bothering to eat the pastries. She rested her head on his shoulder and said, "Sundial... you don't have to sacrifice like this for me."
“This is not a sacrifice… I simply chose what was more important to me between glory and power.” He tilted his head slightly and kissed her cheek.
No matter what he had to give up, if he could have her by his side, it would all be worth it. And those things that ordinary people might struggle their whole lives to obtain were of no importance to him.
Feng Guang nuzzled his neck again, "Sundial, I knew I was right to like you."
“Of course it’s true.” The sundial smiled. “I know I still have many shortcomings compared to others, but Fengguang just likes me just the way I am.”
She laughed out loud, "That's right, there are plenty of men in the world better than you, but I just happened to have my eye on you, Sundial, you'd better hurry up and marry me. There are a whole line of men waiting for me, a woman as good as me."
“I know.” The sundial gently patted her back, looked down at the top of her head, and said softly, “I will hold on to Feng Guang tightly, and I will never let go, no matter what.”
Feng Guang hummed in agreement, feeling as if she had just been held by Mu Gui, and now she was comfortably in his arms talking to him. It was as beautiful as a dream. She yawned and fell asleep in his arms.
