Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Sea of Flowers

Su Muyao thought of her pet cat, and her heart was filled with a deep sense of longing and sentimentality.

For so many moments, it was the pet cat that accompanied her.

On stormy days, sometimes when she woke up, it was right beside her, and she wouldn’t feel uneasy.

It even covered her with a blanket when she kicked it off at night, pulling it over her with its mouth.

After a whole day’s busyness, when she came home at night and opened the door, she would see it waiting by the door for her return.

During meals, it also lay beside her. She usually fed it cat food, but sometimes it would look at her food and meow, so she would feed it some, and they would eat together.

Thinking of those times, the little moments were so warm, bringing a gentle glow to her eyes.

Unfortunately, later on, it passed away.

Su Muyao’s eyelashes fluttered lightly as she lowered her head slightly, hiding the sadness in her eyes.

She didn’t want Xie Guixue to notice anything, nor did she want to affect the atmosphere or Xie Guixue’s mood at this moment.

Xie Guixue said softly, "Hmm, it’s osmanthus wine. I don’t know if you’ll like it."

Su Muyao smiled and said, "I like it. I like drinking osmanthus wine. Then we’ll have hotpot and osmanthus wine tonight."

"Okay."

It seemed like whatever she said, he would agree, completely good-tempered.

Su Muyao held Xie Guixue’s hand and said, "Come on, let’s go see the lavender fields."

"Okay."

Su Muyao ran quickly, and seeing her cheerful appearance, Xie Guixue’s face broke into a smile, enveloping a spring aura, as if an ice lotus were blooming. When looking at her, his eyes held thousands of stars, and his gaze was so gentle it seemed to flow.

"Slow down, don’t fall." Seeing her run so fast, Xie Guixue couldn’t help but feel nervous, holding her hand tightly.

When Xie Guixue ran with Su Muyao, his white garments fluttered in the wind, akin to an Immortal stepping on the breeze, as beautiful as a painting.

"I won’t, I won’t."

At this moment, Su Muyao’s voice was filled with a tone of joyful excitement.

She felt as if she had returned to her girlhood days.

Due to experiences from her past life, she wasn’t really a lively person, but for some reason at this moment, her whole heart came alive, feeling involuntarily happy and exhilarated.

He brought her this feeling, fresh and wonderful.

When they arrived at the edge of the lavender fields, Su Muyao looked at the vast array of flowers, finding them incredibly beautiful.

Looking at the sea of flowers, her mood turned so much brighter and relaxed, breathing in, with the fresh floral scent in the air.

"It’s wonderful."

Xie Guixue reached out, gently picking the petals that had fallen onto her hair.

Just a moment ago while running, a petal had unknowingly fallen on her head.

As long as she’s happy.

"No, wait, growing lavender takes time, how could it have been planted so quickly?"

Xie Guixue chuckled lightly and said, "I just found someone to transplant them here."

In fact, it wasn’t like that. He used his special ability to cover the land with lavender.

He wasn’t concerned about using his ability, only hoping she’d be happy. Seeing her relaxed smile was more important than anything to him.

Perhaps because she was happy, or perhaps because the atmosphere was so nice, Su Muyao turned around, wrapping her arms around Xie Guixue’s neck, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed his cheek.

She blinked as she watched his face and ears turn red, her lips curling up involuntarily.

"Gui Xue, thank you."

"Don’t say that, I’m willing to do anything for you."

This was his heartfelt sentiment.

Saying this, Xie Guixue lowered his head and kissed her.

At first, the kiss landed on her forehead, filled with endless tenderness and care. Seeing she showed no resistance or discomfort, he gradually moved downward, kissing her eyes, and eventually reached her lips.

Originally, he restrained himself, just wanting to gently approach her, but he was captivated by her sweet fragrance, a scent that seemed to permeate his heart, making him crave more.

He couldn’t bear to let go of her, afraid of making her uncomfortable, although he tried to be slow and gentle.

So, when he kissed her lips, his breath carried the tender and lingering warmth of a southern spring rain, like a spring breeze brushing past petals, filled with a cautious sense of preciousness.

There was a sweetness and innocence, a sensation entirely new to Su Muyao, making her heart race and pulse with excitement.

It was as if she suddenly possessed a girlish heart.

Su Muyao could feel his cautiousness, but she wanted to say that she wasn’t a fragile porcelain.

He and that dark him were two complete extremes, one gentle and innocent, the other carrying a hint of obsessive dominance in the darkness.

Yet she liked both.

It was his gentle innocence that made Su Muyao irresistibly want to take charge.

So, she wrapped her arms around Xie Guixue’s neck, pulling him down slightly.

After all, he was a bit tall.

Then she responded to him enthusiastically with her own passion.

Xie Guixue’s clear eyes now tinged with a faint red as he held her, his fingertips trembling slightly, his breath disrupted.

A gentle breeze blew, scattering petals over them.

At some unknown point, Su Muyao pulled Xie Guixue down into the field of flowers.

After a while, Su Muyao’s stomach gurgled, breaking the idyllic ambiance.

Su Muyao felt a bit embarrassed, wishing she could find a hole to burrow into.

Xie Guixue sat up slightly, reaching out to tidy her messy hair, "Hungry, I’ll go prepare dinner."

Su Muyao covered her face and said, "You’re not teasing me?"

Xie Guixue’s eyes held a shimmering warmth as he softly said, "How could I bear to tease you?"

He just found her slightly clumsy appearance to be a hint adorable, so different from usual, making him cherish her even more.

"It’s my fault, it’s not even dinner time. You should eat first."

Listening to Xie Guixue’s voice, Su Muyao finally removed her hands.

At that moment, she could clearly see Xie Guixue’s appearance, truly so beautiful it was hard to look away.

His usually cool demeanor now carried a hint of mist, his cheeks showed a slight blush like cold jade touched by a trace of earthly warmth, giving his cool aura a touch of human warmth.

His long white hair fell over his shoulders, silky smooth like satin, swaying in the wind, as if about to take flight, carrying an exquisite sense of romantic beauty.

When he looked down at her, emotions filled his eyes, seemingly roiling, yet accompanied by tender fragments, gently holding and comforting her.

Su Muyao borrowed his strength to sit up, her clothes now loose and disheveled.

When Xie Guixue glanced at her, his face reddened further, as he used his long, delicate fingers to gently straighten her attire.

While doing so, he even turned his head, deliberately avoiding looking.

Su Muyao deliberately leaned closer, breathing softly in his ear, "How can you bear to leave me to make dinner?"

Xie Guixue’s ears twitched, turning an even deeper red, as he murmured hoarsely, "No, I’ll carry you along."

"I want you to carry me on your back."

For some reason, in front of this Xie Guixue who pampered her and had such a good temper, she couldn’t help but want to indulge a bit.

With tender devotion, Xie Guixue said, "Okay, I’ll carry you."

Saying that, Xie Guixue turned around and crouched down, ready to carry her on his back.
