Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

As they walked on, Nangong Yu wondered about Kiana's purpose, while Kiana didn't know what to say. The two fell into a strange silence. After walking for a while, perhaps because they were getting closer to the sea, the wind gradually picked up, whistling through the treetops above them and making the branches and leaves sway gently, proclaiming their presence.

Just then, Kiana paused for a moment, then suddenly quickened her pace, and Nangong Yu followed suit.

After walking for dozens of steps, he suddenly became enlightened.

He suddenly understood what that feeling was like.

Stepping out of the woods, the world suddenly opened up before me.

A cool sea breeze with a hint of saltiness washes over you, and the sea, which merges with the sky, reflects the crescent moon and the dazzling night sky. This feeling of the world suddenly becoming vast is truly captivating.

You want me to see this?

Upon hearing this, Kiana first nodded, then shook her head: "Let's walk a little further over there."

Kiana pointed to a not-too-high cliff in the distance, her expression filled with anticipation.

Behind the cliff was a slope with a gentle gradient that led to a dense forest, and the two easily reached the top of the cliff.

The area above is not small, with a few trees growing loosely, a somewhat withered tree trunk lying flat on the ground, and lush green grass all around.

His steps naturally stopped; this scene seemed somewhat familiar to him.

Then, Nangong Yu chuckled and looked at Kiana, asking, "This place?"

Isn't that a pleasant surprise?

Finally seeing Nangong Yu's surprised expression, Kiana was secretly delighted and pulled him up.

“It’s a real surprise.”

Bending down and gently touching the rough surface of the tree trunk, Nangong Yu and Kiana sat down together.

Facing the gentle breeze, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, where it seemed as if two little children were waving happily at him.

One is John, and the other is the creek.

"so similar."

He said something that sounded like a sigh, and Kiana responded happily.

"Right, right~"

After sitting down, Kiana finally let go of Nangong Yu's arm. She braced her hands on the tree trunk, her two sandal-clad feet gently kicking. The sandals were covered with a little dark brown mud, which only made her beautifully arched feet look even whiter. Her toes, painted with light blue nail polish, opened and closed, the pads of her toes squeezing and releasing, making her look indescribably delicate and cute.

How did you find this place?

After looking at the sky for a while, Nangong Yu finally looked down at Kiana.

The moonlight shone down, draping the girl in a silver veil. Beneath the veil, her face was slightly flushed. Kiana reached out and gently scratched her cheek, squinting her eyes and smiling shyly, her expression indescribably charming.

“One day before, I had a fight with Celine and went out to clear my head. I ended up here by accident. I wanted to tell you then, but I just couldn’t find the chance.”

Her long, silver hair cascaded down her back, adorned only with a blue flower behind her ear. The sea breeze ruffled the strands of her hair, revealing her fair and slender neck. At this moment, Kiana looked like a goddess descended to earth, so beautiful.

I don't know when it happened, but Kiana seems to dislike wearing that somewhat tacky braided hairstyle more and more. Every day she either wears her long hair down or tries other hairstyles. The girl who used to be so innocent and cute has become more and more beautiful and alluring. Of course, her personality hasn't changed much.

With her mouth closed, she's an elegant, aloof beauty; with her mouth open, she's a cute, approachable girl next door. This contrast adds to her adorable charm.

"That's quite a coincidence. Thank you for bringing me here. I'm very happy."

"Really? As long as you're happy."

Kiana replied softly, then suddenly noticed the way Nangong Yu was looking at her. She chuckled and said, "Staring at me so intently, what, have you finally realized that I am a rare beauty in this world?"

It was meant as a joke, but Nangong Yu answered quite seriously: "Yes, she is indeed very beautiful, and it's hard to look away."

"Hey?"

Hey hey hey hey?!

No, bro.jpg

Don't be so sudden, okay? She wasn't prepared at all!

So, Ah Yu finally realized that she wasn't a brother, but a girl?!

Kiana felt as if her face was burning, and she was both ashamed and happy, not daring to look Nangong Yu in the eye.

The air returned to silence, but Kiana's thoughts were in complete disarray, almost a tangled mess.

Since Ayu said so, could she try...?

Thinking of this, Kiana's hand, which was resting on the dead tree, began to quietly reach towards Nangong Yu. As her heart pounded nervously, her cell phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.

Instantly, Kiana quickly withdrew her outstretched hand, inwardly cursing herself for her lack of willpower.

It's so embarrassing to be startled by my phone! And I've been holding hands the whole way, so why am I even more shy about holding hands now?!

The atmosphere's already reached this point, Kiana, give it your all!!!

Silently encouraging herself, Kiana placed her hand on the dead wood again, glancing sideways at Nangong Yu's hand on the wood. She moved her five fingers little by little, dragging her palm closer.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch Ayu's fingers, she subconsciously raised her eyebrows and glanced at him. Soon, her flustered eyes met a pair of smiling eyes.

Her body trembled slightly, and she quickly tried to pull her hand back, which had been stealthily approaching. But just then, a warm palm covered the back of her hand, freezing her in place.

Feeling the warmth of his touch, Kiana stared at him, mouth agape, in disbelief.

"Ok?"

A smile appeared on his lips, and his gentle gaze made Kiana's face flush. She quickly turned her eyes to the sky.

Her hands were also nervously placed on the dead wood, not daring to move at all, but if she didn't move, Nangong Yu would move.

He gently closed his palm, which was covering the back of his hand, and held the smaller hand in his palm. Then, their fingertips began to intertwine and slowly merge together.

This...this...!

Ah Yu was definitely responding to her; sure enough, she knew her decision tonight was right!

Kiana felt a rapid pounding in her chest, and the rush of blood to her brain made her feel dizzy, her vision blurring.

Now! Now!!

The inner child within him is giving him a frantic boost.

The rather romantic words she had been brewing in her heart, which she had learned during a late-night conversation with Mei, finally gave her the courage to utter them after who knows how long.

"Ah, Ah Yu..."

"Hmm~"

"The moon, the moonlight is so beautiful..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kiana's heart leaped into her throat. The whole world seemed to stand still for a moment. She closed her eyes, leaving only her tense breathing and heartbeat.

She specifically chose this location, which held special significance for Ayu, and even set the time for the evening, all for this moment!!

Kiana, sound the charge!

A slightly trembling voice reached Nangong Yu's ears. He was momentarily stunned, but quickly chuckled and said, "Indeed, the weather is nice today. The moon and the starry sky are quite beautiful."

"..."

The result was quite different from what I had imagined...

Kiana's heart sank to the bottom. She was afraid to open her eyes, fearing that if she did, tears would flow uncontrollably.

Ah Yu couldn't possibly be unaware of the meaning of those words, so why did he change the subject?

So, so he really is...

"But I prefer to focus my gaze on you rather than on the night."

"Hey?"

A gentle whisper reached her ears, and Kiana couldn't help but open her tear-filled eyes.

"I like you, Kiana."

"Huh? This...this...Ah Yu, I...uh..."

Kiana's flustered and confused state looked quite adorable, and he couldn't resist leaning down to silence her incoherent ramblings.

Kiana was speechless; she didn't need to say anything.

For Kiana, a complete novice, just two minutes was enough to make her breathless as she pushed Nangong Yu away. But after catching her breath, she hugged his neck tightly again and kissed him once more.

She didn't understand any techniques, but the burning passion in her heart made her act as if she wanted to retaliate against Nangong Yu's bad intentions. Her movements were quite intense, and she even tasted a trace of rust on her tongue.

She cried and laughed like that, and having gotten what she wanted, she hugged, kissed, and teased him for a full half hour before finally leaning against her lover as if she had no strength left.

Feeling the stinging pain on her lip from the bite, Nangong Yu couldn't help but grimace. This guy really went for it.

Seeing his actions, Kiana immediately gave a cute snort: "Serves you right for bullying me."

Her voice was soft and gentle; it sounded more like a coquettish tone than a scolding.

The change in their relationship softened Kiana's attitude even more.

"No way, can you wait until I finish what I'm saying?"

A slight chuckle escaped her lips. Nangong Yu reached out and embraced the waist he had long coveted, her palm resting on it. The slender, firm touch was truly perfect.

"Have you had feelings for me all along?"

Sensing her lover's interest in her body, Kiana asked happily.

"I do not deny."

He's been eyeing Qi Bao's waist for a long time.

"Hum~"

Kiana gave a smug hum and moved even closer to make it easier for Nangong Yu to move. She rested her head on Nangong Yu's shoulder, grabbed his collar, and asked again, "Did you already know that I liked you all along?"

"It's not too early, after all, you know what you were like before."

Kiana chuckled and made a sarcastic remark, then playfully slapped his chest in annoyance: "What are you laughing at? In the end, you still ended up being captivated by me!"

"Yes, yes, I'm completely captivated by the cute and charming Qi Bao~"

"Qi, Qi Bao!!!! You, how could you..."

The sudden affectionate address made Kiana wave her hand excitedly.

"What, you don't like it?"
