He accidentally bumped into the witch while flying on his sword.

But whenever they asked, the little witch would rest her chin on her hand, think for a moment, look up at the sky in confusion, and say, "No..."

They assumed Yunyi didn't want to talk about it.

This is what a girl in love is like.

As soon as the school bell rang, the little witch ignored Xiao Di and Li Mei's hesitant invitation.

He pulled Chen Shun out of the classroom without a second thought.

"Where are we going to skip stones?" she asked casually, suppressing her excitement and feigning modesty.

"What's wrong? You really want to go?"

"I don't want to," she stubbornly replied.

"Then I won't go. I'll go home and cook for you." Chen Shun was well aware of her little scheme.

Upon hearing this, a hint of anxiety and helplessness flashed across the little witch's pretty face.

"No, if you want to go, I can go with you," she tried to salvage the situation.

"I do not want to go."

"why?"

Yun Yi grabbed Chen Shun's shoulders in frustration, shaking him back and forth and questioning him why he wasn't going again.

"You didn't want to go, did you? I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to do."

"It's not that I don't want to go..." Yun Yi said with a bitter face.

"Who just said they didn't want to go?"

"I wonder who said that? It's really strange..."

Yun Yi rolled her eyes, feigning ignorance.jpg

Chen Shun wasn't buying it today.

"So let's go home first... um, to your house."

"Ah...but it's still very early."

It's okay if you treat it like your own home.

The little witch muttered to herself.

Chen Shun looked up at the sky.

The Great Snow solar term is just a few days away, and this twilight will only last for a few tens of minutes.

How could it be that it's still early? By the time the two of them got home, it would be completely dark.

"You really want to go?"

“I…” Yun Yi hesitated.

She wasn't being arrogant; she just felt that she had been dismissive of Chen Shun's stone-picking earlier that morning, and if she were to admit now that she was looking forward to going with him, wouldn't she look like a clown?

They could go to Gotham and act opposite Batman.

"Hmm?" Chen Shun gave the little witch a questioning look.

She bit her lip, then lowered her head and said dejectedly:

"Okay, okay, I admit it, I just want to skip stones with you."

My focus is "being with you".

Hopefully, his focus isn't on "wasting money".

After all, the latter was just an activity that wasn't interesting to her, and couldn't even be called a "game".

Hearing the little witch's frank answer, Chen Shun couldn't help but show his delight.

His face unconsciously revealed the same sly expression he had when the little witch had successfully teased him.

Yunyi watched from the side, her teeth itching with envy.

He's getting better and better at it!

I don't know where they learned that, it's infuriating!

"Let's go! Otherwise it'll be really dark!"

"Walk."

Continue along the road home, then turn in another direction. Not far from Yunyi's house, there is a small scenic lake within the city.

It shares the same origin as the moat.

Because it is located within the city, marble paths have been built around the lake for pedestrians to walk on.

At night, groups of Los Angeles residents can be seen strolling and chatting here, enjoying the night view.

Of course, that refers to when the weather is relatively good.

With the temperature dropping now, there shouldn't be many people at the sightseeing lake.

The two quickly found an open space close to the water's surface where no railings had been built.

Yun Yi sat on a stone bench on the shore, propping her head up, watching Chen Shun take the stone out of his bag.

No matter how you look at it, it's still very childish.

He took a stone out of his bag...

But Chen Shun treasured it as if it were a priceless gem, and couldn't bear to part with it.

"Is it that precious? You can cut as many pieces of this stone as you want, can't you?" The little witch tilted her head and asked doubtfully.

"Of course they're different. How can natural diamonds and synthetic diamonds be the same?" Chen Shun retorted.

"Oh……"

Yun Yi pondered for a moment, then asked:

"You want to give me a diamond ring?"

"???"

Chen Shun's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the round stone into the icy lake water.

Is this the little witch's thought process?

Sure enough.

"Is it, is it?" Yun Yi blinked her bright eyes and pressed for an answer.

"Shouldn't we at least wait until our engagement to give her the diamond ring?"

"When will you get engaged?"

"I..." Chen Shun blushed, unsure how to answer.

It's too early to discuss this now.

Yun Yi looked at him with a flirtatious smile, her eyes filled with allure.

He's now completely trapped in his own destiny.

"Ahem... Alright, I'll teach you how to skip stones."

"Do I need you to teach me how to skip stones? Do you look down on your witch lady?" Yun Yi said, hands on her hips, feigning anger.

Chen Shun picked up a relatively flat piece of tile from the nearby bushes, cleaned it with magic, and handed it to the little witch.

"Then give it a try and let me see the power of the witch."

Yun Yi extended her thumb and touched her nose, then pouted, pretending to be very knowledgeable.

"Alright!"

Following her vague memory of the phrase "skipping stones," she raised her arms above her head.

Chen Shun: "..."

thump.

It was a great success.

It splashed water half a meter high.

Chen Shun: "..."

Yun Yi blinked: "..."

"That doesn't count, let's start over."

Chen Shun then took out another tile and gave it to her.

"I haven't played in a long time, so I'm a bit rusty." She gave a dry laugh, her explanation sounding weak and unconvincing.

This time, she held her breath and raised her arm even higher.

thump.

Yes, it's much better than last time.

A splash of water as high as a person rose up.

Chen Shun: "..."

Yun Yi: "...Hehe, there must be something wrong with the stone you found for me. If you're so capable, give me the one you have."

Chen Shun was shocked and quickly clutched the precious stone to his chest.

For a complete novice like her, who can't even make a tile bounce a few times, to play this game is as useless as asking an innocent baby who has never watched porn to master 10 tons of torrents.

His attitude immediately displeased the little witch.

She gave a soft hum and wrinkled her nose:

"Ah... so that stone is so precious? It wouldn't even let me touch it..."

"You've touched all the treasures on my body, why are you touching stones now..."

His treasures...
