Chapter 34: Moonlight
Moonlight reflected on Xiao Yu's delicate face, casting a soft glow. Her eyes, as they looked at Xiao Yuan, were filled with unwavering determination.
"Anyway, I, Xiao Yu, have made up my mind about you. I don't care who you'll like in the future—there must be a place for me in your heart. If you don't agree with me today, I'll go straight to Grandpa and ask him to propose marriage to Uncle Xiao Zhan!"
With a resolute expression, Xiao Yu declared.
Yet even after saying this, Xiao Yuan didn't respond.
"Say something!"
Xiao Yu bit her red lips lightly, eyes shimmering with a faint trace of moisture.
She had put herself out there so boldly, yet she couldn't even get a reply?
"Mmmph!"
Xiao Yuan mumbled, making a muffled sound.
Xiao Yu blinked in confusion and suddenly realized—her hand was still covering his mouth!
All the momentum she had built up immediately dissipated. Flustered, she withdrew her small hand, avoiding Xiao Yuan's gaze.
"Whew, how could I say anything if you're covering my mouth?"
Xiao Yuan exhaled and shook his head helplessly.
"Then tell me—do you like me or not!"
Not hearing the answer she wanted right away, Xiao Yu quickly regained her forcefulness. She leaned in closer, glaring at Xiao Yuan and softly biting her lower lip.
"I do like you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have grown up playing together all these years."
Xiao Yuan nodded, looking into her eyes seriously.
"Hmph! Then why did you go after that Ya Fei?! Is it because she's prettier than me? Or her legs are longer?"
Xiao Yu's cheeks turned red as she pressed further, not letting him off the hook.
"Uh…"
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but take a long look at Xiao Yu's beautiful face, making her blush even more. Then, his gaze drifted downward, landing on her long legs.
Fair, long, straight—perfect!
No wonder Xiao Yu was confident about her legs. They were truly flawless!
Although…
Those delicate jade feet of hers soaked in the hot spring were also incredibly tempting!
Looking at the small, pristine feet immersed in the warm water, Xiao Yuan suddenly felt an urge to hold and caress them.
Sensing the rising heat in his body, he quickly activated the Mystic Ice Technique. A chill rose in his heart, calming the impulse.
Then, his eyes moved upward to her chest. After observing the slightly less prominent curve there, he looked back up at her with a meaningful expression.
"You! You perv!"
Xiao Yu caught the direction of his gaze and burst out angrily.
So what if hers was a little smaller?
It's not like she's flat!
The more Xiao Yu thought about it, the more annoyed she became. With a twist of her waist, she kicked her long leg toward Xiao Yuan's chest, droplets of hot spring water flying off her foot.
!
Caught off guard, Xiao Yuan's eyes widened. He instinctively reached out to grab her foot, but her wet foot slipped from his grasp.
As a result, Xiao Yu's foot landed lightly on his chest. She hadn't used any Dou Qi or real force, so the kick felt soft and harmless. Xiao Yuan then managed to grab her smooth calf.
"You little perv, let go!"
Xiao Yu snapped, biting her lip.
"It's the middle of the night, Xiao Yu Jie, and we're alone in the back mountain. You'd better be gentle, or else... hmph."
Feeling the soft, springy sensation of her leg in his hand, Xiao Yuan smiled and "threatened" her teasingly.
"Hmph! We're both Three-Star Fighters. You think I'm afraid of you?"
Xiao Yu retorted stubbornly.
"Alright, don't say I didn't warn you."
Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes, his smile turning a little dangerous.
"What are you going to do!?"
Xiao Yu suddenly felt that something wasn't right and asked, slightly flustered.
Xiao Yuan didn't answer. He hooked her knee over his arm and grabbed her ankle with one hand.
"Ah, Xiao Yuan, you—"
Xiao Yu's face turned red from the sudden action. Before she could react, Xiao Yuan's other hand reached out and gently tickled the arch of her petite foot with his fingertips.
"Hahahaha—it tickles! Stop! Hahaha! Help!"
Xiao Yu burst into uncontrollable laughter, her body twisting on the ground as her chest heaved with every breath.
"Now do you see how formidable I am, Xiao Yu Jie?"
Xiao Yuan grinned, stopping for a moment and looking at her.
Breathless from laughing, Xiao Yu panted and said defiantly, "Shameless!"
Then she lifted her other leg and kicked at him.
Of course, the playful force was harmless, and instead, Xiao Yuan caught that leg too.
"Hm?"
Xiao Yuan tilted his chin with a smirk.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Yu turned her head away stubbornly, refusing to give in.
"Ah!"
The next second, Xiao Yu cried out again as Xiao Yuan trapped both her legs under his arms and resumed his tickling assault on her feet.
"Xiao—hahahaha!"
Before she could finish, the ticklish sensation on her soles made her laugh again. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't escape his clutches.
"Admit you're wrong?"
"You little rascal, let me go!"
"Aha—hahaha!"
As the night deepened, their laughter gradually faded.
"Whew…"
Xiao Yu lay on the cloak Xiao Yuan had laid down, her face flushed, her chest rising and falling with every breath.
She had laughed so hard she was exhausted.
Xiao Yuan still held her legs, and after all that playful struggling, her clothes had become a bit messy. Her pants legs had ridden up, revealing smooth, glowing thighs and delicate feet under the moonlight—an irresistible sight.
The silky feel under his fingertips made Xiao Yuan wish he could hold those beautiful legs in his arms forever.
They were just too soft!
Glancing at her tousled hair, flushed face, parted lips, and misty eyes, Xiao Yuan's breathing grew heavier.
Noticing he was about to make another move, Xiao Yu, tired and weak, murmured:
"Stop teasing me already. I was wrong, okay?"
But her plea brought no reply.
She lifted her eyes slightly—and saw his handsome face getting closer.
"Xiao Yu Jie, you're so beautiful."
Xiao Yuan looked into her eyes and spoke softly.
"Hmph, at least you know—mmph!"
Before she could finish, Xiao Yuan sealed her lips.
She widened her eyes in surprise as he kissed her deeply, dominating her completely. It wasn't until much later that she gathered enough strength to push him away.
"You perv!"
Xiao Yu bit her lip and flipped him onto his back with a quick move.
"Consider that my gift for your coming-of-age!"
With a blushing face, she snorted and then pressed herself against him, lowering her head to kiss him in return.
After a long while, the two of them lay side by side on the grass, panting as they gazed at the silver moon hanging in the sky like a jade plate.
"Xiao Yuan, from now on I'm yours. You're not allowed to betray me."
Xiao Yu stared at the moon, not daring to look at him. Her voice had grown soft and delicate.
One more glance at him, and she might not be able to stop herself from giving everything tonight.
Just thinking of the lingering warmth and tingling on her thighs made her feel weak all over.
"Mm."
Xiao Yuan answered quietly, pulling Xiao Yu into his arms.
Her face turned even redder, but she didn't resist, simply nestling in his arms with a soft murmur:
"Perv."
