Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

After they were seated again, Huo Yutong looked at Di Tian, ​​pursed her lips, and felt that she had to say something fair for this restaurant.

"Uncle..." she said softly, "Actually, Ning Tian booked the whole store today, that's why there's no one here."

Di Tian glanced at her, then seemed to realize something. He remembered his earlier comment, "Let's go to another store," which had disrupted all her carefully planned schemes.

He simply chuckled.

"I misunderstood."

Huo Yutong's ears grew even hotter, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards even more.

When the time was right, the waiters began to serve the dishes one after another.

One course after another, the presentation was as exquisite as a work of art. On the white porcelain plate, the sauce outlined the shape of flower petals, the side dishes were sliced ​​as thin as cicada wings, and the main course occupied only a small piece in the center of the plate, garnished with a few pieces of edible gold leaf and herbs.

Di Tian looked at the "picturesque" dish in front of him and fell silent.

He glanced at the other dishes on the table; each one was so exquisite that he almost hesitated to pick up his chopsticks, but each one was... pitifully small in quantity.

"..." He glanced at the dish and made a rough calculation in his mind. With his appetite, all of this would probably only be enough to fill a tooth gap.

"Their dishes are indeed very beautifully presented," Di Tian commented honestly, then changed the subject, "but the portions are really small."

He recalled the dining hall at the Spirit Pagoda, where meals were served pot by pot on the ground.

Huo Yutong couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the "this isn't enough for me to eat in one bite" expression on his face.

"Uncle, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you." She rested her chin on her hand, her eyes sparkling, already planning tomorrow's loving breakfast menu in her mind.

Upon hearing this, Di Tian's gaze softened.

"Yutong, I appreciate your kindness." He looked at her with a smile. "But I'm a soul beast, and my appetite can't be measured by normal standards. Do what you want, just a little bit, don't overdo it."

Huo Yutong nodded seriously: "Okay! I'll deliver it to you tomorrow morning!"

After the meal, the two walked out of the restaurant hand in hand.

The night in Shrek City was quiet. The streetlights cast long, overlapping shadows, making it impossible to distinguish one from the other. The early autumn wind carried a hint of coolness, but Huo Yutong's hand, held in Di Tian's palm, was warm and burning.

They walked aimlessly, without speaking, simply savoring this hard-won tranquility.

Huo Yutong secretly glanced at Di Tian's profile. His dark suit accentuated his well-defined features, and the curve of his jawline looked particularly handsome under the streetlights.

Then he quickly turned back, pretending to look at the sycamore trees by the roadside, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of Shrek Academy.

"Yutong, I'll leave you here." Di Tian stopped and released her hand.

Huo Yutong turned around and looked up at him.

"Uncle—" she said softly, with a hint of reluctance, "How about I take you to visit Shrek Academy tomorrow? I want you to see where I usually study."

Di Tian looked into her bright eyes and nodded: "Okay."

Huo Yutong tiptoed closer to his face and gently kissed his cheek.

Then she quickly turned around and ran towards the school gate. Her blue high heels clicked crisply on the stone pavement, and her skirt fluttered gently with each step.

"See you tomorrow!" Her voice came from ahead, filled with undisguised excitement.

Di Tian stood there, watching the slender figure run into the school gate and disappear at the end of the sycamore-lined path, a smile curving his lips.

Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, in front of the girls' dormitory.

The streetlights cast the shadows of the sycamore leaves onto the dormitory building walls. The night breeze was slightly cool, but the group of people standing in front of the dormitory were warmer than anyone else.

Tang Ya, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, including Bei Bei and He Cai Tou were all brought along.

When the figure in the beige trench coat and high heels appeared around the corner, Tang Ya was the first to rush towards her.

"Yutong!! How is it?!" She grabbed Huo Yutong's arm, her voice trembling with excitement.

Huo Yutong was shaken so much that she took a small step back, and she slowly raised her left hand.

On her ring finger, the dark gold ring gleamed warmly under the lights in front of the dormitory building, its dragon scale patterns clearly visible.

"He said yes—" Huo Yutong's voice was as soft as a feather, yet it made everyone present hold their breath. "He proposed to me."

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The screams of the group almost attracted the attention of the dormitory supervisor in the inner courtyard.

"I knew it! I knew it!" Tang Ya hugged Huo Yutong tightly, almost choking her. "We'll be able to attend the wedding soon!"

"Congratulations!" Bei Bei and He Cai Tou stood behind, their faces beaming with smiles, and gave Huo Yu Tong a thumbs up together.

Xiao Xiao laughed and said, "I want to be a bridesmaid!!"

Ning Tian looked satisfied. "The venue rental fee was well worth it."

"Wuhu!" Wu Feng shouted, raising his arms.

Huo Yutong returned to her dormitory, closed the door, and turned on the light, letting in warm yellow light. She bent down to put her high heels away, hung her beige trench coat on the hanger, and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles.

Then she walked to the mirror, took off her blue hair from its updo, removed the pair of silver four-leaf clover earrings, and placed them on the dressing table.

After changing into her nightgown, she hung the strapless, backless dress in the closet.

Finally, she stood in front of the sink and used makeup remover to wipe away the light makeup from her face, bit by bit.

He then pounced on the bed, buried his face in the pillow, and remained silent for several seconds before suddenly turning over and raising his left hand towards the light on the ceiling.

The ring shimmered slightly under the light.

Hehehe...

She couldn't help but start giggling.

She remained in that position, hand raised, looking at the ring, grinning foolishly, for who knows how long.

"Yutong, have you changed your clothes?" Tianmeng's voice suddenly rang out in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Electrolux and the spirits will respect Huo Yutong's privacy and automatically block their senses when she is changing clothes or resting.

Huo Yutong would also proactively block out the Sea of ​​Spirituality, giving each other space.

Electrolux is planning to have Xuan Ziwen create a soul tool carrier for him to use as a body, as he needs to go out.

Meanwhile, Xuan Ziwen was already urging him: "Take more pills and break through as soon as possible."

"Sister Tianmeng, I'm all better now," Huo Yutong replied in her spiritual sea.

"Yu Tong—" Tian Meng's voice suddenly became extremely solemn.

"Is your sister family? Like your own sister?"

"...Sister Tianmeng, you are my sister." Huo Yutong answered honestly.

"So, are you going to marry Di Tian now?"

"Um."

"Since that's the case—" Tianmeng's voice suddenly rose, carrying a smug "I'm incredibly smart" air, "After Di Tian marries you, he'll have to call me 'sister' too! Hahahaha!"
