Tang Yuehua: "For the Rest of Our Lives, Please Guide Me"

Hehe! (Eighth update!)

"Hahaha!"

"Today really is a double celebration!"

As Tang Yuehua hid behind Tang Tian and secretly sized up Qian Chengxiao, Tang Tian, who stood before her, burst into laughter.

Qian Chengxiao, standing before Tang Tian, looked at Tang Yuehua hiding behind Tang Tian, concealing herself so that only half of her little head peeked out. Seeing the one eye she had exposed, he gave her a faint smile.

"Mmm~"

Qian Chengxiao's gentle smile immediately made Tang Yuehua unbearably shy.

The half of her little head that had been peeking out quickly hid behind Tang Tian again. Her hands unconsciously moved to her chest as she felt her heart race wildly.

Oh no, so this is what it feels like to have one's heart flutter.

B-but his smile is so charming.

Tang Yuehua hid behind Tang Tian, clutching her wildly pounding heart with both hands and taking deep breaths.

The image of Qian Chengxiao smiling at her kept replaying in her mind.

No, no, I can't help it. I want to take another look.

With that thought, Tang Yuehua, who had only just hidden herself, poked half her little head out from behind Tang Tian again and secretly looked at Qian Chengxiao.

He probably isn't looking at me anymore after I just hid, right?

Thinking that, Tang Yuehua looked toward Qian Chengxiao.

"Mmm~"

It would have been better if she had not looked. The instant she did, her eyes met Qian Chengxiao's again.

Their gazes met in midair. Tang Yuehua's eyes were filled with bashfulness as she looked at Qian Chengxiao.

Qian Chengxiao's gaze at Tang Yuehua, meanwhile, was full of tenderness.

Seeing the gentle, water-like look in Qian Chengxiao's eyes, Tang Yuehua hid herself again.

Tang Tian, standing between Qian Chengxiao and Tang Yuehua, watched the interaction between the two little ones and wore an indulgent smile.

Once Tang Tian's indulgent smile appeared, it seemed almost contagious, instantly spreading to Ninth Uncle Tang Jiu and the brothers Tang Lei and Tang Jiu.

The four of them looked at Qian Chengxiao and Tang Yuehua with increasingly gentle eyes, all wearing indulgent smiles as they turned into eager shippers.

"Alright, Yuehua."

"Since you and Cheng Xiao are already engaged, I'll leave Cheng Xiao to you from now on."

"After all, it's Cheng Xiao's first time returning to the Clear Sky Sect, and he isn't familiar with anything here."

"He must be hungry by now. Take him around the sect so he can get acquainted with the place, then bring him something to eat."

"After that, find Cheng Xiao a place to stay."

"I'll leave Cheng Xiao to you from now on!"

"I believe in you, Yuehua!"

Under Tang Yuehua's shocked gaze, Tang Tian took Qian Chengxiao's hand and placed it in Tang Yuehua's, then left with Tang Jiu and the others, smiling cheerfully.

"Yuehua, take good care of Cheng Xiao."

"Ninth Uncle and I have some matters to discuss. Cheng Xiao is in your hands from now on."

As soon as Tang Tian finished speaking, he took Tang Jiu and the others out of the courtyard.

Only Qian Chengxiao and Tang Yuehua remained in the courtyard.

Qian Chengxiao looked over Tang Yuehua, the Steam Girl before him. Seeing her flushed little face gave him an illusion.

Is steam coming out of her head?

After her father Tang Tian left, Tang Yuehua was still holding Qian Chengxiao's hand, and her mind had become all muddled.

I-I'm holding his hand in mine.

It's so warm.

Would holding his hand like this make me seem too forward? Isn't this a little improper?

But why don't I want to let go?

While Tang Yuehua held Qian Chengxiao's hand, letting her thoughts run wild and struggling over whether to release it, Qian Chengxiao finished studying her.

The young Tang Yuehua had completely transformed into a Steam Girl. She was utterly adorable.

No one would ever connect the Steam Girl before him with the elegant, beautiful woman she would become more than twenty years later.

"My name is Tang Chengxiao!"

"Cheng as in blessed by Heaven, Xiao as in soaring above the ages!"

"From now on, you can call me Cheng Xiao."

Qian Chengxiao saw that Tang Yuehua had held his hand without saying anything for a long time. Seeing that she had turned into a Steam Girl, lowering her little head while her dainty feet shyly drew circles on the ground, he took the initiative to speak.

After all, he felt that if he did not speak first, this Little Steam Girl, Tang Yuehua, could keep standing there with him forever.

Upon hearing Qian Chengxiao's voice and his introduction of his name, Tang Yuehua raised her head and looked at him.

Blessed by Heaven! Soaring above the ages!

What an ambitious name. How domineering.

Sure enough, a man like him deserves a name like that.

"M-my name is Tang Yuehua!"

"Yue as in bright moon, Hua as in elegance."

"Please guide me from now on!"

This time, Tang Yuehua gathered her courage and released Qian Chengxiao's hand before extending her hand to him again.

She had already figured it out. She had been attracted to him by his looks at first sight—

No, no, no. It was love at first sight.

After all, she did not dislike him. As she interacted with Qian Chengxiao at close range, Tang Yuehua found that she liked being by his side.

Only by being close to him could she feel the incredibly comfortable aura and sensation he gave off, as though she were standing in nature itself, making her feel relaxed and happy.

Besides, they would be husband and wife in the future. Their engagement had already been settled, and all that remained was for them to come of age and marry.

If she remained this shy and did not dare speak to him now, then when they married and entered the bridal chamber, would she not faint on the spot?

Having made up her mind, Tang Yuehua summoned her courage, extended her hand toward Qian Chengxiao, and said the embarrassing words, "Please guide me from now on."

Qian Chengxiao watched Tang Yuehua release his hand, then extend her hand to him again. Coupled with what she had said, he gave her a gentle smile. "For the rest of our lives, please guide me!"

(≧≦)

When they held hands again, Tang Yuehua's eyes curved into crescents under Qian Chengxiao's tender gaze as she heard him say, "For the rest of our lives, please guide me." Her face bloomed with a smile.

H-he doesn't just have a beautiful smile. Even the way he looks at people is so gentle.

Even his words... his words sound so lovely.

For the rest of our lives, please guide me~

That one sentence alone made Tang Yuehua feel as though she had fallen into a jar of honey, sweetening her to the core. She was absolutely delighted inside.

"Are... are you hungry?"

"I'll take you to eat my favorite Osmanthus Cake. It's in my room. I'll bring you some. It's delicious—sweet when it melts in your mouth, and it has the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. You'll never forget it."

Once Tang Yuehua came back to her senses, she looked at Qian Chengxiao with her large, watery eyes full of anticipation.

"Sure!"

Upon hearing Qian Chengxiao's answer, Tang Yuehua laughed. "Then I'll take you there. If it isn't enough, I can make noodles too. Then you can try the noodles I cook and see if they taste good!"

"Mhm!"

The eighth bonus update is complete, and the two extra updates I promised everyone are finished as well.

Qing Zhou can only repay everyone through hard work. As long as this book performs well, even if Qing Zhou is busy during the day and has no time to write, Qing Zhou promises that as long as the results are good, there will be at least three updates every day!
