Outside the window, the rain was pouring down.
The raindrops pounded furiously on the newly laid tiles, making a crackling sound, as if they wanted to completely engulf this small world.
In the kitchen, the firelight in the stove flickered, illuminating Ruan Tang's terrified face.
Her mind went blank, as if she had been struck by lightning.
All that remained in his ears was Yan Yu's low, slightly aggrieved words, which were still echoing in his ears.
Stay... stay overnight?!
How dare he?!
How dare he utter such shocking words in such a matter-of-fact and pitiful tone!
A scorching heat suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart, and quickly spread across her fair cheeks at a visible speed.
The heat spread all the way to her small earlobe, making it glisten and almost drip blood.
She opened her mouth, wanting to call him a "filthy scoundrel".
But the words were on the tip of her tongue when they were locked in place by the man's deep, sincere eyes.
His wisps of hair on his forehead were still damp from the rain, and in the dim light, his handsome face appeared somewhat vulnerable.
All the momentum of the insults dissipated as if by some strange twist of fate.
"I……"
She finally managed to find her voice again, but it sounded dry and off-key.
"I only have one bed here."
The moment the words left her mouth, Ruan Tang wanted to bite her tongue off.
What kind of rejection is that?
This sounds more like... an invitation!
Sure enough, she clearly saw that Yan Yu's eyes lit up instantly.
That light was even more dazzling than the lightning that tore through the night outside the window!
He took a step forward.
His tall figure instantly enveloped her in the small shadow.
His unique, clean, and aggressive masculine scent swept over her in the air.
"Tangtang..."
His voice was even lower, with a hint of triumphant laughter, as he said in a low, seductive tone, "I'll sleep on the floor."
Ruan Tang's heart was pounding wildly, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.
She instinctively stepped back, and just as her back was about to hit the wall, a large, hot hand grabbed her slender waist, stabilizing her in front of him.
Ruan Tang lowered her eyes, not daring to look at his eyes that seemed to suck in one's soul. She could only stare at the row of buttons on his shirt and retort softly and without any confidence.
"No, no way..." This is a conservative world. In the world of cultivation, if you want a cave dwelling, you can just take it back, but not here!
"Tangtang..."
Yan Yu suddenly spoke, his voice soft and gentle, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.
He raised his hand.
Warm, rough fingertips, calloused and smooth, gently wiped away the bits of soot that had somehow gotten on her cheek.
His movements were as gentle as if he were handling a rare treasure.
“From the first moment I saw you by the moat of Beijing,” he gazed at her, his eyes surging with an intense and burning heat, a kind of obsession and deep affection she had never seen before, yet which she did not find offensive, “I knew it, I…”
His voice was sincere and earnest, each word seemingly carefully chosen and analyzed from the depths of his heart, carrying the desolation and loneliness of the end times, and the desperate gamble of being reborn.
I came for you.
With a bang——
Something exploded in Ruan Tang's mind.
She looked up in surprise, her eyes meeting those deep, ocean-like gazes.
At that moment, she suddenly understood everything.
