Tang Chen stopped running, stood there and thought for a while, then she made up her mind and went in. Moreover, Wang Yanzhou actually did not lie to her.
“……”, damn, taking a shower with clothes on, so strong!
Wang Yanzhou was soaking in the hot spring. When Tang Chen came in, he took off his shoes and sat beside him to soak his feet. The two chatted for a while before Wang Yanzhou glanced at the fruit next to him and asked, "Want some fruit?"
"eat!"
After Wang Yanzhou handed over the fruit plate, he reached out and took a bowl and asked, "Here's some Eight Treasure Sweet Yogurt, would you like to try it?"
"Okay, okay!"
Wang Yanzhou saw Tang Chen enjoying himself while soaking his feet and eating. He couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, saying, "Ah, when will you be able to behave like a woman? I'm so angry."
Tang Chen said: "Don't imitate my speech!"
Wang Yanzhou leaned towards Tang Chen and looked up at her as if he was looking up at the bright moon. "Okay, okay, okay, if you don't want to learn, then don't learn. I've already given you a bath and all the delicious food. So, when will you become my wife?"
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly swallowed what was in his mouth: "...Well, don't look at me like that, it feels weird!"
"Oh," Wang Yanzhou couldn't help but feel confused. Was it because he didn't hint enough, or was there something wrong with Tang Chen's brain? He felt so sad.
After Tang Chen coughed twice, he began to suppress the urge to run away: "Well, I'm full, I'm leaving first!"
Tang Chen was just about to wipe his feet and put on his shoes, but he didn't know if he was running too fast or what; his foot slipped, and he did a backflip and landed in the hot spring, splashing a huge splash, and even one of his shoes flew out.
When Tang Chen emerged from the water, he saw Wang Yanzhou looking at him with a heartless laugh: "Puff."
After smoothing his hair, Tang Chen simply took off the shoe on his other foot and threw it on top. Then, he calmly gave up and continued to soak in the water. "Ah, this is a familiar ending. As expected, soaking is still comfortable."
Wang Yanzhou also agreed: "Well, let's soak it."
Tang Chen held Wang Yanzhou's hand and stayed quietly in the hot spring. Through the slowly rising mist, she realized that the sky, which she had always thought was dark, was actually full of stars shining brightly. "I suddenly realized that the wind is cold today, but there are stars in the sky, which is rare."
"yes."
During this peaceful time, a thought suddenly flashed through Tang Chen's mind, a very interesting thought: "Hey, I suddenly have an idea."
"Um?"
Tang Chen said: "My birthday is coming soon. If you can give me the stars in the sky and the moon in the water, I will marry you. How about it?"
Wang Yanzhou agreed without a second thought. Seeing how readily he agreed to such demanding conditions, Tang Chen couldn't help but add, "Then let's make a deal. If you can't find it..."
Wang Yanzhou sighed and said helplessly: "If I can't find it, then you will have to marry me."
Tang Chen said, as expected, this is all a routine: "Tsk tsk tsk, I refuse."
"When is your birthday?"
Tang Chen smiled, looked at the sparse stars twinkling in the sky and said, "At the end of the year, the plum blossoms bloom in the snow."
After saying that, Tang Chen didn't give Wang Yanzhou a chance to react or notice. She closed her eyes and gently left a mark that belonged only to her on his cheek, which was covered with small water droplets.
“……!”
"I'll remember your words well." As soon as the words fell, Tang Chen climbed up with difficulty, dragging his wet clothes with his ears red. By the way, he also took the clean clothes that Wang Yanzhou had placed aside: "Lend me the clothes first, I'll bring them to you later, hahahaha!"
Wang Yanzhou closed his eyes and smiled, "...Is this finally what I asked for, and it's been granted?"
On a tree not far from the hot spring, Heiya saw Tang Chen leaving, so he also got down from the tree carrying Xihe and walked slowly on the road.
Xihe couldn't see, but she could hear the change in the tone of the two people's speech. Listening to their brief conversation, it seemed very normal. Why did Heiya call her over so curiously to eavesdrop after Tang Chen left? "So, what was the deep meaning behind what they just said? You've been holding back your laughter all the way?"
Xihe's question really stumped Heiya. How could he explain this to such a clueless girl? "This is a little difficult to explain. Just treat it as a show, and you'll understand it later."
"oh."
Hei Ya heard the night watchman's call not far away, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace while leading Xihe: "It's getting late, I'll take you home, and we'll go play with Achen tomorrow, okay?"
After Xihe walked quietly for a while, he suddenly stopped and asked, "...Stars, what are they?"
Black Crow's hand trembled slightly as he held Xihe's. He looked at her dark, lifeless eyes, and suddenly felt distressed. Looking up at the scattered stars, he suddenly thought of a perfect expression: "The stars they speak of are the sparkling things in your eyes."
Xihe frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Stars, in my eyes?"
Black Crow said softly: "Well, in your eyes, it is beautiful, very beautiful."
Upon hearing this, Xihe raised her head and gave Heiya a playful smile. The stars in her eyes seemed to shine even brighter. "I see. Is that true? Do you have them in your eyes too?"
Black Crow gently scratched Xihe's nose and said, "The most beautiful thing in my eyes is your star."
Xihe tilted her head, not quite understanding, as if she was thinking again: "Really?"
"Let's go back to sleep." After saying that, Hei Ya led Xihe to the door of the room. When he sent Xihe to the room, the lights were still on, but Tang Chen was not there. He guessed that he had gone to deliver clothes to Wang Yanzhou. There were some things that Hei Ya would not be able to say if Tang Chen was present. It's not that he was embarrassed, but he just couldn't say them to her.
"Xihe."
"Um?"
Black Crow asked tentatively, "I was the one who brought you out. If one day, I am no longer here, will you blame me?"
Upon hearing this, Xihe panicked and quickly grabbed Heiya: "Where are you going? Can't I come with you?"
Seeing that she was getting anxious, Hei Ya couldn't say the words that were on the tip of his tongue anymore: "...I'm not going anywhere, I just said it casually."
Xihe slowly let go of Hei Ya and said, "No matter where you go, I will follow you. Now that I've left with you, you can no longer rely on me. They say I'm a medicine man, a ghost. Whoever provokes me will never be able to get rid of me until they die."
"Okay, until death."
