“You should only be touching me!” Nangong Liuyun righteously lectured this unruly little girl.
Su Luo held her forehead: “I didn’t touch him!”
“You just did!” Nangong Liuyun’s elegant, immortal temperament was gone, and he immediately transformed into a jealous, difficult little child.
“You can’t touch him like that either!” Nangong Liuyun pettily emphasized.
“That was searching just his body for treasure, where have your thoughts gone to?” Su Luo reasonably argued.
“You just can’t touch them!” Nangong Liuyun snorted.
Su Luo was truly defeated by him.
This was the Nangong Liuyun that had scared away the Thorn Captain with a single look and caused Chu Yang to die with a single smile. But he was like a difficult little child on the inside, needing me to coax him, spoil him, and make way for him.
Su Luo grunted twice, and turned her head, ignoring him.
It was all Nangong Liuyun. How could he let them die so quickly when I hadn’t even gotten the huge amount of points into her hands!? The little person in Su Luo’s heart was whacking Nangong Liuyun.
Nangong Liuyun angrily wore a sullen expression and his long body stiffened. But after waiting for half a day, Su Luo still hadn’t given him any attention, and he couldn’t help himself anymore.
He was still as ever proud as a peacock, but his long and slender hand was moving sneakily.
At this time, Su Luo was standing with her back to Nangong Liuyun.
Nangong Liuyun’s bony hand secretly poked Su Luo’s back.
No response.
Another poke.
Still no response.
Nangong Liuyun instantly could not hold it anymore; he looked up at the starry sky and let out a long sigh to the moon.
Alas, no matter how powerful I become, I can do nothing but bow my head and admit defeat to this little girl.
Nangong Liuyun resignedly moved in front of Su Luo, looking at her.
Su Luo stubbornly moved to the right.
Nangong Liuyun followed her to the right.
Su Luo again turned away from him defiantly.
Nangong Liuyun resignedly continued to walk to the right and stood in front of her.
Su Luo turned again, and Nangong Liuyun followed again.
By the time Su Luo had turned an entire circle, Nangong Liuyun let out a long sigh. His long arms seized Su Luo, fiercely bringing her into his embrace. His chin rested on her shoulder, and the faint fragrance of her hair blew into his nose.
Su Luo couldn’t see Nangong Liuyun’s expression at this moment.
Nangong Liuyun’s heartfelt, deeply distressed, extremely pitiful expression.
Su Luo subconsciously wanted to push him away.
Nangong’s dull voice spoke slowly: “Don’t move and let me hold you for a little bit. Just let me hold you for a little bit.”
His voice was low, carrying a hint of sleepy exhaustion.
Nangong Liuyun’s voice had always been clear and mellow, but at this moment, there was distinct tiredness in his exhalation, causing Su Luo just a moment of heartache.
“Are you…… very tired?” Su Luo asked weakly.
Could I not be tired? After hearing the news of this little girl being chased, I came out of the Ten Thousand Year Old Glacial Pond, killed my way out of the Ten Thousand Weight Mountains. The entire road here, I had to overcome 1 and wear the stars and the 2. It hadn’t been easy at all to finally rush here. There hadn’t even been time to catch my breath in between the anxiety and stress.
But, full of words, in the end, he just turned them into a single sentence: “To see you safe, what does it matter if I’m a hundred times more tired?”
That sentence was nothing more than the usual sweet words, but listening to it, Su Luo’s heart felt incomparably comforted. A bitter yet incomparably sweet feeling filled up the cavity in Su Luo’s chest.
“Fool.” Su Luo whispered softly.
Nangong Liuyun said he would just hold her for a while, but breathing in Su Luo’s fragrance had unleashed all the fatigue he had forcefully ignored. And at last, Su Luo could no longer let go of him because the steady sound of his breathing was transmitted to her ears.
