Nestled in Isaac's arms, Yun Wei felt incredibly relaxed.
He was like a mast ship that had sailed far and wide, finally returning to the harbor after weathering a storm that threatened to kill him.
He cherished this moment of silence.
Both of them fell silent for a moment, but the rapid, steady beating of their hearts was inexplicably amplified. The cold wind on the mountaintop slowed its pace, and even the clear air seemed sweet.
So he simply closed his eyes and listened to their disordered heartbeats, which suddenly synchronized in a free and unrestrained rhythm.
He is so happy.
Thinking this, he actually fell into a deep sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the sky filled with stars.
Unlike the Blue Star where he once lived, the stars on the Continent of Zhuyuan are quite rare, but they are close at hand and within reach.
They resembled colorful projections, with wisps of rosy clouds of various colors sweeping across their edges.
"Hmm, so beautiful, this is... a star?" Yun Wei suddenly jolted awake, but failed when he tried to sit up.
A pair of strong arms encircled him, firmly securing him to a chest behind him.
He then suddenly realized that he had actually fallen asleep.
Indeed, he has been under a lot of mental strain lately and hasn't had much rest. He's been relying entirely on his mental strength to keep going.
Once you relax, sleepiness washes over you.
He quickly turned his head away, looking embarrassed, and said, "Sorry, Issa, I don't know how, I just fell asleep..."
“It’s alright.” Isaac stared intently at Yun Wei, then suddenly said, “Your eyes are even more beautiful.”
The stars that suddenly reappeared were indeed dazzling, but the seven nights he sat in silence combined could not compare to the moment Yun Wei turned around.
Yes, it only makes the starry sky pale in comparison.
Yun Wei was the most beautiful woman in his heart.
Even though the latter was still sleepy-eyed, his misty eyes, glistening with tears, stirred a deep tenderness in him.
Upon waking up, Yun Wei was suddenly praised so openly by her beloved, and her face immediately turned red again.
He lowered his head and asked, "I've been gone... cough, I mean, how long have I been away from you? There are even stars in the sky now."
When he returned to the continent of Zhuyuan, he noticed the world's evolution.
I never expected it to be this exaggerated; even the vanished stars have returned to the sky.
Upon hearing this, Isaac's smile faded. He tightened his grip on Yun Wei's arm and replied seriously, "Thirty-seven days and seven hours have passed since I said we should separate; seven days and twelve hours have passed since you activated the forbidden spell."
After saying that, he continued without waiting for the other party to speak: "Yunwei, please forgive me, okay? I was wrong before, I shouldn't have misunderstood you without knowing the facts... Anyway, it was indeed my fault, I admit my mistake to you, please punish me."
Yun Wei blinked, surprised, and said, "Huh? So—I thought you were jealous!"
Isaac's face immediately darkened.
He released his arms from Yun Wei's grasp, but amidst the latter's gasp, he gently lifted him up and had him straddle his lap.
The two are now sitting face to face.
Yun Wei straddled his joined legs, his hands encircling the other's slender waist. The other's small hands, unsure of what to do and clearly too shy to wrap around his neck, were now curled up against his chest.
Isaac was finally satisfied.
He wanted to observe Yun Wei's expression and try to discern the true feelings hidden beneath the other's seemingly embarrassed demeanor.
He said slowly, "I like you and I don't want to see you being too close to other men. I don't think I've done anything wrong in that regard. But on this point, I absolutely cannot compromise."
Yun Wei felt that he was really doomed.
Even though the other person was speaking in an incredibly domineering and serious tone, he found Isaac even more handsome.
He's like a psychopath; even though the other person is clearly jealous, he's secretly overjoyed.
He tried to maintain his composure, but said quietly, "Oh? When I came back, I saw someone with a beautiful woman in his arms."
Seeing that the other person immediately froze, Yun Wei pressed his advantage and said, "Speaking of which, since I misunderstood, and you weren't jealous after all—I know, you didn't peek at my diary, did you?"
Isaac panicked instantly. "No, let me explain! I—"
However, he was unable to speak.
Because Yun Wei pressed his lips against his.
The other person's thumb and forefinger pinched his mouth shut without any politeness. In the midst of the panic and chaos, he caught a glimpse of a smile in Yun Wei's eyes, and realized that the other person was not angry after all.
Isaac immediately shut his mouth, letting the other person playfully pinch his lips.
"I already said, we all need to learn from this." Yun Wei didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but Isaac's soft lips were quite a novelty to him, and he couldn't help but love them.
And paired with those resolute eyes...
Even with his mouth pinched shut, he still looks cool.
He reluctantly released his fingers and said earnestly, "Alfred was the reason I initially came to the Continent of Elements. The matter is complicated, and I'll tell you about it later. But meeting him that day was truly an accident."
"Later I realized that the hug wasn't really appropriate, after all, as you said, maybe the other person likes me. But at least I have a clear conscience, I've only ever liked you, I only like Isaac."
Isaac knew that Yun Wei was telling the truth.
He simply couldn't control his jealousy, which was probably an instinct of a male.
He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and said sullenly, "I believe you."
Yun Wei's fingers landed on the stubble on the other's cheek, and he continued, "As for the diary, you've read it, so I don't mind. But I'm the kind of person who has a bit of a performing desire, so the writing and wording in it might be a bit, well, exaggerated."
This was the only way he could console himself.
The thought that all his infatuated words had been seen by the other person made him wish he could turn into a screaming, desperate chicken on the spot.
This is an exceptionally flamboyant yellow dog toy. When the dog bites it, the plastic whistle inside will emit a sharp cry. It is also an extremely useful tool in the apocalypse to attract the attention of zombies.
but……
He then said seriously, "Regarding Empress Catherine, I'm sorry, but that was indeed my true opinion. If you have to face such a choice, I'd rather wisely leave, um—"
This time, it was his turn to be speechless.
Because he was caught by Isaac.
As if in retaliation for his earlier teasing, the other person actually captured his lips and gently nibbled at them with their teeth.
He couldn't describe how he felt at that moment.
His heart was like a long-desolate oil field; any tiny spark could trigger a massive explosion, blasting him and others to smithereens, leaving not a trace.
Isaac finally let Yun Wei go, and their auras became completely chaotic, yet harmoniously intertwined amidst the chaotic undulations.
He stared at the other person's swollen, watery lips, his eyes growing darker.
But his anger hadn't subsided, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you an idiot? Can't you have a little more faith in your man? In matters like this... you're the one I'll spend my life with!"
Yun Wei smiled but remained silent, only replying, "Alright, now the idiot understands."
When faced with a predetermined script, confidence alone is not enough.
Moreover, his confidence was all given to him by Isaac.
However, he didn't need to tell the other person this; the other person would understand someday.
Thinking of this, he stood up, pressing the other person's shoulder and straightening his clothes. "Alright, since we've already talked it out, let's turn the page. Let's make it clear from now on, whoever brings up the past is a dog."
He glanced at the tall soldier who was still sitting in the same spot, and raised an eyebrow.
Unexpectedly, the other person continued to stare at him intently, making him feel uneasy and distracted.
Just as he was about to ask, Isaac suddenly licked his lower lip.
Yun Wei's gaze immediately fell on the other party's malicious expression.
She was cool and mischievous, which made him uneasy.
"Woof woof!"
The other person's gaze locked onto him, and they were seriously trying to imitate him.
Whether it sounds similar or not is one thing, but the voice was like sunlight hitting his heart, making him feel restless and itchy.
Yun Wei's eyes widened immediately.
The other person then imitated it in a muffled voice, seemingly dissatisfied, and then added a few more sounds.
He stared at Isaac in disbelief and asked with difficulty, "What are you doing...?"
Isaac sat there nonchalantly, but raised his "paw" and said with utmost honesty:
"I'm a puppy, trying to make you happy, woof! woof woof!"
Yun Wei's mind went blank, and his heart pounded so hard it felt like it was hitting the top of his head.
That's just too unfair.
He wanted to call Isaac shameless, but instead, he couldn't help but raise his fist and beckon to the other man, his face flushed.
"Woof... Ooh, woof woof!"
Yun Wei's shameful imitation was completely drowned out by his own heart pounding like a drum.
Standing alone on this mountain, I quietly listen to the stars hanging low.
When you see me, a gentleman, your heart boils as if ice is boiling.
