The next day, Gu Xuan got up early and, together with Dugu Yan, saw Ye Lingling off from Tiandou City. When she left, Ye Lingling boarded the family's carriage.

Although the Nine Heart Begonia family lives in seclusion, because Ye Lingling enrolled in the Heaven Dou City Academy, a Soul Emperor has been stationed there. This time, Ye Lingling was driven by that Soul Emperor on her way back.

It was only seven o'clock after Ye Lingling left. Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan had breakfast before renting a carriage and slowly heading towards East Lake.

Inside the carriage, Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan sat side by side. Dugu Yan's face was slightly flushed, and she was absentmindedly looking at the scenery outside the window. Her small hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, and she dared not look at Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan naturally noticed her little actions, and shook his head with a wry smile in his heart, but on the surface he maintained a warm smile.

"Sister Yan, why are you so nervous?" Gu Xuan couldn't help but tease.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan trembled slightly. Without turning to look at Gu Xuan, she said to herself, "Nervous? Am I nervous? I'm excited. Now is the best time to see the scenery of East Lake. It's been so long since I've been there, I'm really looking forward to it."

Gu Xuan didn't expose her, but shifted his position closer to Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan immediately tensed up, and her delicate hands, gripping the hem of her clothes, turned white from the force.

"What are you doing!" Dugu Yan suddenly turned around and glared at Gu Xuan warily.

Gu Xuan didn't flinch from her gaze, meeting Dugu Yan's eyes, and softly said, "Cold..."

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes so hard they almost disappeared. It's June now, and you're telling me it's cold? Have you even considered how it feels in this sweltering summer heat?

Dugu Yan turned her head away from Gu Xuan, but didn't say anything more.

Gu Xuan didn't push his luck. He sat next to Dugu Yan in the carriage, gently inhaling the girl's unique fragrance, his thoughts drifting away.

Noticing that Gu Xuan was lost in thought, Dugu Yan wanted nothing more than to slap him. This brat was the kind of guy who neither took the initiative nor refused, which made her unable to resist him!

Dugu Yan is shy, but she also has a wild side. But it's impossible to expect a girl like her to take the initiative, is it?

A carriage is such a small space, you could at least take advantage of the bumpy ride, but why are you, a boy, pretending to be so profound? Why didn't you pretend when you were flirting with her before?

Since Gu Xuan didn't make any further moves, Dugu Yan put on a grand show in her mind.

Sometimes girls are like that; they're afraid you'll do something inappropriate, but they're also afraid you won't come to them.

When they arrived at East Lake at ten o'clock, Gu Xuan did not make any further moves towards Dugu Yan, leaving her waiting in vain. At this moment, Dugu Yan was filled with resentment towards Gu Xuan.

You couldn't even seize such a good opportunity? Where did your womanizing spirit go?

What Dugu Yan didn't expect was that after getting off the carriage, Gu Xuan naturally took her hand. This surprised and delighted Dugu Yan, who was also a little shy.

However, just thinking about how Gu Xuan had just loaded salted fish onto the carriage made Dugu Yan inexplicably unhappy, and she wanted to ask Gu Xuan for help.

However, when she tried to pull her hand away, she found that Gu Xuan had gripped it tightly and she couldn't break free.

Gu Xuan sensed Dugu Yan's movement, gently patted the back of her hand with his other hand, and said softly, "There are a lot of people here, I'm afraid you'll get lost."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan thought to herself, "You're the one who's lost! Your whole family is lost!"

However, she did not try to break free from Gu Xuan's large hand, because Gu Xuan had indeed spoken very gently. So she was pulled by Gu Xuan, and the two entered East Lake through the gate.

It has to be said that there are a lot of people here now, and everyone is dressed in a glamorous manner. There are basically no ordinary people here; those who come are mostly high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, or soul masters.

The entrance fee alone costs ten gold soul coins, which is not something an ordinary person would spend ten gold soul coins to enjoy the scenery. Moreover, this does not include the cost of food, lodging, and sightseeing for the next three days.

Although there are many people, there aren't as many as you might imagine. The entire East Lake is enormous and can easily accommodate tens of thousands of people, but there are only a few thousand people here now, so it's still quite spacious.

Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan enjoyed the beautiful scenery together while chatting about their usual interesting stories.

Because of Gu Xuan's initiative, Dugu Yan's previous unhappiness vanished, and all she could see was Gu Xuan.

The two strolled around until evening, enjoying the breathtaking summer sunset. Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan sat alone in a pavilion, sipping fruit tea and watching the sunset, finding it all incredibly beautiful.

There are many of these small pavilions here, specially prepared for couples in the throes of new love, which is quite thoughtful.

Because of Gu Xuan's initiative, Dugu Yan was now pressed tightly against him, feeling the hard muscles in his chest and abdomen and the strong, masculine charm he exuded.

As the setting sun shone on their faces, Dugu Yan was momentarily blinded by the sunlight, while Gu Xuan took the opportunity to retrieve a bouquet of ninety-nine roses from his soul tool.

When Dugu Yan opened her eyes again, she smelled a floral fragrance and then saw ninety-nine roses in front of her.

Her heart skipped a beat. As a girl, she was naturally more sensitive in this regard, and upon seeing this thing, she already had a vague suspicion in her mind.

At this moment, Gu Xuan whispered to her, "The reason I didn't speak in the carriage was because I was thinking about how to express my feelings to you, but I couldn't find a perfect way to say it after thinking about it all the way."

Dugu Yan stared blankly at Gu Xuan's face, her gaze shifting from the roses to his handsome, smiling face. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word, simply staring at Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan continued, "I've been thinking about this all day. I think if I really like you and you like me too, then the formalities aren't that important. As long as we can make each other understand our feelings, I think that's enough."

"So, Yanzi, I like you. I, Gu Xuan, like Dugu Yan. If you like me too, please accept this bouquet of flowers and be my girlfriend. I will cherish you, protect you, and be your support."

"If you don't..."

Before Gu Xuan could finish speaking, Dugu Yan's eyes were already moist, and she threw herself into Gu Xuan's arms.

In the past month or so, Gu Xuan has brought her more happiness than she has experienced in all these years. Although Yu Tianheng helped her out of her single period, she realized that Gu Xuan was the man who could truly enter her heart.

Now, faced with Gu Xuan's heartfelt confession, she could no longer hold back.

"I do..." Dugu Yan whispered in Gu Xuan's ear.

They embraced for an unknown amount of time before gradually separating. As the last rays of the setting sun shone down, their eyes met. Dugu Yan silently closed her eyes, while Gu Xuan gazed at her alluring red lips and slowly lowered his head.

At the last moment when the red and yellow hues intertwined, the four petals overlapped, becoming the most beautiful sight in East Lake, but unfortunately, no one appreciated it.

Uh, no! There are actually people appreciating this. Not far away, Xue Qinghe, holding a teacup, stared at this scene in disbelief, his lips twitching involuntarily.

She remembered that Gu Xuan was only twelve years old, right? Although Gu Xuan's age was faked when he enrolled, Xue Qinghe had known Gu Xuan for a long time.

And this kid has only been enrolled for a little over a month, right? Is he progressing that fast?

No wonder he didn't come to East Lake when I invited him yesterday, saying he was busy with something. Turns out he was busy with this?

Xue Qinghe felt as if he had lost something, but he didn't feel it too much. Maybe it was because his little brother had found a girlfriend and he was happy for him.

Xue Qinghe didn't think there was any possibility between her and Gu Xuan in the future. Even though Gu Xuan's appearance indirectly made up for some of the emotions and happiness she lacked in her childhood, she had only ever regarded Gu Xuan as a younger brother from the beginning. After all, who would fall in love with a little kid?

Shaking her head slightly, Xue Qinghe left. Seeing this scene, her original mood for appreciating the night view was gone.
