I miss you, I want to see you, right now.
Qu Tong looked at the projected screen and her heart was suddenly touched. It seemed that she also missed her prince a little.
Qu Tong didn't reply immediately, but messages kept popping up.
[I'm in the Casa Empire, Ali, posting my location.]
I came alone.
Looking at the last one, Qu Tong suddenly smiled.
Without dwelling on it further, I sent the location.
*
Si Yuting arrived at 7 p.m.
After dinner, Qu Tong went for a stroll with an umbrella and came back to find a black mecha parked at the entrance of the courtyard. A black figure rushed towards her through the falling snow.
The bodyguard robot accompanying him beeped, its eyes flashing red, and extended its mechanical arm forward.
"002, stop."
Upon hearing Qu Tong's command, Robot 002 stopped moving and returned to its previous position like a wooden puppet.
The light purple umbrella fell to the ground, and the two embraced in the swirling snow, letting the snowflakes fall on their hair and clothes.
Si Yuting held her tightly, but he didn't forget to hunch his back and tuck in his abdomen, being careful not to squeeze Qu Tong's stomach.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
After a long while, Si Yuting finally let go and gazed at the person in front of him.
"Ah Li, how are you and the baby?" Si Yuting's voice was choked with emotion, and the longing he had held for nearly two months surged forth at this moment.
"It's fine." Qu Tong smiled and shook her head, reaching out to brush the snowflakes off Si Yuting's shoulder. "Let's go inside first. The snow is heavy, and it's easy to catch a cold if we stay too long."
Si Yuting tensed up instantly, a look of self-reproach flashing in his eyes. He had been so happy that he had forgotten that Ali needed to be extra careful right now.
Si Yuting immediately picked up the umbrella from the ground, held it over Qu Tong's head, and protected her as she walked into the house.
The umbrella tilted to the right, completely obscuring Qu Tong's figure, while only one of Si Yuting's shoulders was under the umbrella.
Qu Tong glanced at him but didn't say anything more.
I brushed the snowflakes off my clothes and went into the living room.
Qu Tong granted her leave after she finished cooking dinner; she won't be back until noon tomorrow.
Si Yuting was worried about Qu Tong, so he used a hairdryer to dry the slight dampness in her long hair and then changed her into a fox fur cloak.
Qu Tong picked up a corner of her clothes, raised her eyebrows and looked at Si Yuting, "Your Highness brought all my clothes?"
This red fox fur cloak should be in the wardrobe at Yue Lan Bay.
Si Yuting walked around to Qu Tong and tied the ribbon into a bow, with two cute white pom-poms hanging down.
"I brought some clothes, mainly loose-fitting winter clothes. Your mother also made a lot of clothes for you to wear now. I'll put them in your wardrobe later."
Qu Tong felt a warmth in her heart. Indeed, she was now too heavy to wear many of her old clothes.
After helping Qu Tong get ready, Si Yuting quickly dried his own hair and took off his coat.
He's physically strong and not so afraid of the cold.
"How long has Your Highness been in the Casa Empire?"
"I've only been here for a day."
The two sat in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, enjoying the beautiful snow scenery while chatting about their recent lives and their baby's name.
Si Yuting placed his large hand under Qu Tong's fox fur coat, feeling the baby's occasional mischief, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"How about we name her Si Xue? Because her mother likes snow."
Qu Tong chuckled and gently patted his arm. "It's not like I named him."
Si Yuting took her hand and kissed her lips. "What Ali likes, my darling will definitely like too."
"What……"
Before she could even utter the words "fallacy," Si Yuting silenced her with a kiss.
Her wispy bangs were a little longer than before, gently brushing against her brow.
He placed her hand on his shoulder, gently lifting her face, his fingertips lightly caressing her cheek, as light as a feather, as if afraid of hurting her.
Qu Tong slightly curled her fingers, closed her eyes, and let him do whatever he wanted.
His kiss was devoid of any recklessness or haste, filled only with overflowing tenderness and affection, so gentle it seemed to melt her into the tranquil moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Si Yuting touched her nose and pulled away slightly. "Ali, it'll be almost done."
Qu Tong opened her eyes and was met with a pair of deep phoenix eyes that were as deep as the Milky Way.
Seeing him up close, she could see the faint bloodshot in his eyes, and the weariness hidden behind his gentleness.
Perhaps it was her breath that hit his eyelashes, because Si Yuting blinked unconsciously, and a tear slid down his cheek.
Qu Tong's index finger caught the tear before Si Yuting's hand could reach it.
"I……"
Are you sleepy?
Just as Si Yuting was about to say something, he met Qu Tong's concerned almond-shaped eyes. "A little, but I want to spend more time with you."
Qu Tong shook her head.
She knew he was busy and might leave tomorrow, or perhaps tonight.
It took a month and a half to deal with the Canaanite Empire, and it's unknown how much longer it will take to deal with the other two countries.
"Actually, you don't need to care about the mate the gene bank matched for me. Who cares about it anyway?"
Seeing how much Si Yuting was going to do for her, she actually felt quite sorry for him.
We can wait until she gives birth and then resolve the issue gradually.
I believe that since the last interstellar live broadcast, no one will dare to easily touch her.
“But I want Ali to have no more worries.” Si Yuting shook his head stubbornly.
He had this plan from the beginning; he knew that Ali was afraid of trouble.
He had been planning and arranging all along, but shaking the entire interstellar legal system and the will of the people was no easy task.
Unexpectedly, the accident happened before the plan, but it also gave him the opportunity to act decisively.
But if he had a choice, he would rather take it slow than let Ah Li get hurt.
Although Ali always confidently said that she would be fine, he could no longer bear such fear a second time.
Qu Tong understood Si Yuting's persistence and could only let him be.
Feeling his lingering, reluctant gaze on her, and looking at the increasingly beautiful and magnificent snow scene outside the window, Qu Tong suggested, "How about I sing you a song?"
"good."
Qu Tong changed to two more comfortable chairs, one higher and one lower, and let Si Yuting rest his head on her shoulder.
She only knows how to play the piano, but there's no piano here, so she can only sing a cappella.
Moreover, she only sings the climax of most songs, which lasts for a few dozen seconds at most.
She wanted to find a song with a soft melody that she could sing in its entirety.
After going through the options in my mind, I finally chose "Waiting for Your Return".
Qu Tong drank a glass of warm water to moisten her throat, thought for a moment, and then softened her voice to speak slowly:
I'll be here waiting for you, braving the stars and the moon, riding the wind to come.
I'll bury this strong liquor here, waiting for your story to unfold.
Amidst the sea of lights and countless people, how many times have you been absent?
Having traveled high and low, enduring countless twists and turns, my hair has turned white from dawn till dusk.
I wait for you in this mortal world, I wait for you in this mortal realm, guarding the world beyond its splendor.
Embrace the stars in your arms, let a thousand rivers flow back, and transform into a vast ocean.
I'll wait for you in the netherworld, I'll wait for you in Jingzhou, I'll wait for the other shore flowers to bloom.
Facing the three lifetimes of fleeting moments, fearless and unwavering, I will cross the past and the future.
..."
Qu Tong had originally thought that Si Yuting might relax and fall asleep while listening, but unexpectedly, she became sleepy halfway through her song and drifted off without realizing it. (End of Chapter)
