Mu Xiaoxiao blushed. She wanted to retract her little hand as though it had been burnt, but it was held down by him.
âHey!â She glared at him.
Yin Shaojie laughed and his chest vibrated against her back. Nibbling on her earlobe, he asked in a low, sexy voice, âWhen are you finally going to give it to me?â
This made Mu Xiaoxiao feel embarrassed and she shrank back, not wanting to answer him.
Who in the world would ask that so directly!
She thought for a while before saying, âDonât think Iâll do⦠that just because you made a romantic atmosphere with some fireflies. Iâm telling you itâs of no use. Iâm not that partial towards fireflies.â
However, the scenery before her was pretty. It would always be one where she would treasure in her memories.
Yin Shaojie asked uncomprehendingly, âDonât you girls like fireflies and things like that?â
He still didnât understand why girls hated bugs but liked fireflies. Was it just because their butt lit up?
However, he didnât mind doing these so-called âromantic thingsâ so long she liked it.
Mu Xiaoxiao laughed. âThat was because I was young and naive. I thought they looked really pretty when I saw them in fairy tales or cartoons, but once I knew that they were actually bugs, the illusion faded and I decided it would be best to view them from afar. If I were to go amongst them, I would be frightened to death.â
They did look like pretty little stars, but once she used her imagination, these little stars were all bugs which not only circled around people but also rested on their heads.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt goosebumps just thinking about this.
She was still very afraid of bugs.
Yin Shaojie felt lucky that he hadnât been able to find real fireflies and instead used these lights to create such an atmosphere.
âDonât you think youâre spoiling the mood like this?â he said, pretending to be displeased.
He had spent so much effort to make this romantic, but here she was, trying to analyze the real nature of fireflies with him.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged. âYou have to be reasonable when youâre trying to be romantic too.â
He couldnât help but laugh, âAlright, alright, alright. Iâll take note of this in the future.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This girl was very hard to please.
However, no one had told him to like her. He was willing to do this for her, so long as she was happy.
Even though it was a little bit of a failure, trying to create a romantic atmosphere should be something interesting to reminisce about in the future, right?
After the pair had enough of being romantic, they prepared to go back to the campsite.
As they walked on the pavement, Yin Shaojieâs ears pricked and he looked into the darkness of the forest.
âWhatâs up?â Mu Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled, as she noticed him stop in his tracks.
âItâs nothing.â Yin Shaojie looked away. Holding her little hand tight, he walked on with her.
They could already see the tents and a bonfire from a distance.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie stopped in his tracks, bent over, and picked up a stone.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him curiously.
Yin Shaojie smirked at her. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the stone flying into the forest.
âAiyoh,â came a shriek from within.
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs eyes widened. Alert, she called out, âWhoâs there!â
Yin Shaojie seemed to know who it was. His lips curled downwards and he commanded coldly, âCome out.â
There was silence in the forest for a few seconds before a black silhouette stood up and walked out, rustling the foliage as he did so.
Before the silhouette got close to them, the streetlights illuminated his face and Mu Xiaoxiao saw who he was.
âYu Zhe? Youâre following us again?â
Yu Zhe didnât speak, but lowered his head like a puppy who had done something wrong, looking a little pitiful.
