The Goofy Steam Girl! A Treasure of a Girl Plucked at His Heartstrings

The Goofy Steam Girl! A Treasure of a Girl Plucked at His Heartstrings! (First Update! Please Subscribe!)

After Tang Yuehua took Qian Chengxiao's hand and led him into her boudoir, she pulled him to the dining table, picked up the Osmanthus Cake resting there as if presenting a treasure, and held it to his lips.

"It's delicious!"

Qian Chengxiao froze slightly when he saw Tang Yuehua place the Osmanthus Cake directly by his lips.

Then he quickly recovered, gently took a bite from the Osmanthus Cake she offered him, and smiled at Tang Yuehua. It made her feel as though a spring breeze had washed over her.

"Hehe~"

"I knew you'd love it!"

"Why?"

Qian Chengxiao was taken aback again as he looked at Tang Yuehua, whose face was beaming with joy.

"Because I like it!"

As she spoke, Tang Yuehua stuffed the remaining half of the Osmanthus Cake into Qian Chengxiao's mouth.

The moment Qian Chengxiao finished eating, Tang Yuehua eagerly picked up another piece and held it to his lips, continuing to feed him.

To be honest, Qian Chengxiao did not like these sweet pastries as much as he made it seem.

But when he saw the anticipation in Tang Yuehua's eyes, he ate it again.

As soon as Qian Chengxiao finished, Tang Yuehua began feeding him once more.

All twelve pieces of Osmanthus Cake were fed to Qian Chengxiao by Tang Yuehua.

This time, Qian Chengxiao was genuinely full.

He felt that even if he drank water now, it would taste of osmanthus.

"Is it sweet?"

After Tang Yuehua finished feeding Qian Chengxiao, she looked at him with a smile full of expectation.

"Sweet!"

Although Qian Chengxiao wore a cheerful smile, inside, he was already cursing up a storm.

Even if someone liked them, what kind of person could eat twelve pieces in one go?

After hearing Qian Chengxiao's answer, Tang Yuehua looked even more satisfied. Her crescent-shaped eyes slowly opened as she stared into his.

Qian Chengxiao was slightly startled by the seriousness in her expression.

Since they had met, this was the first time Tang Yuehua had looked directly into his eyes.

"What is it?"

Qian Chengxiao was somewhat puzzled as he looked at Tang Yuehua staring fixedly at him.

Could it be that she had seen through his disguise?

That shouldn't be possible. His acting was Shadow God-level, without a single flaw.

Even Tang Tian, that old fox, had not noticed anything. How could this Little Girl possibly have noticed?

"Qian Chengxiao!"

"I feel like you're lying to me."

!!!

!!! 😱

Qian Chengxiao's heart jolted at Tang Yuehua's words. He looked at her in astonishment and asked in confusion, "Yuehua, how did I lie to you?"

"You... you don't like sweet things."

"This..."

Qian Chengxiao was stunned by Tang Yuehua's words.

After steadying his emotions, Qian Chengxiao looked at Tang Yuehua and said seriously, "That's right, I don't really like sweet food that much."

"But I don't exactly dislike it either."

"The reason I said it was delicious was because I didn't want the expectation in your eyes to turn into disappointment."

As he spoke, Qian Chengxiao reached out, placed his hand on Tang Yuehua's Little Head, and gently rubbed it.

With Qian Chengxiao's head-pat attack, Tang Yuehua, who had looked somewhat fierce just moments ago, instantly transformed into a Steam Girl.

Her little face was flushed red, and her eyes were sweet as candy as she looked at Qian Chengxiao.

Yet even after becoming a Steam Girl, Tang Yuehua did not lower her head or avoid Qian Chengxiao's gentle, watery gaze.

"You... you don't need to cater to me."

"If you like something, you like it. If you don't, then you don't."

At that, Tang Yuehua looked at Qian Chengxiao and said softly, "I... I heard about your past, and I felt that you must have had a very hard time these past years."

"That's why I gave you these sweet Osmanthus Cakes."

"I wanted your life from now on to be like this osmanthus cake—sweet the moment it touched your lips, with a flavor that lingered endlessly."

"I-I wanted you to know that your life isn't made up of nothing but bitterness. There is sweetness too—sweetness that stays with you forever."

!!!

Tang Yuehua's voice was very soft. Even the way she looked at Qian Chengxiao was filled with tenderness and heartache.

Listening to Tang Yuehua's words and seeing the look in her eyes, Qian Chengxiao's eyes widened.

The strings of his heart had actually been plucked by a silly little girl who resembled a Steam Girl.

"Phew~"

"Thank you."

After composing himself, Qian Chengxiao took a deep breath. Looking at the somewhat silly Little Steam Girl before him, he thanked her earnestly and gently.

Perhaps ever since entering the Clear Sky Sect, not a single word from Qian Chengxiao's mouth had been true.

But this thanks was the sincerest, most heartfelt truth he had spoken since entering the Clear Sky Sect.

"Hehe~"

"Then if you don't like it in the future, just tell me."

Hearing Qian Chengxiao thank her, Tang Yuehua gave him a carefree giggle.

"Mm."

"Though I think I might be starting to like osmanthus cake."

Looking at Tang Yuehua's innocent, radiant smile, Qian Chengxiao gently rubbed her little head with his right hand. With the index finger of his left hand, he lightly tapped the bridge of her small, cute nose.

As Qian Chengxiao looked at Tang Yuehua, there was a trace of doting affection in his gentle gaze.

Feeling Qian Chengxiao pat her head, then feeling his finger lightly brush over her little nose—

When Tang Yuehua met Qian Chengxiao's gentle, indulgent gaze, she finally reached her limit.

Her already rosy little face instantly turned bright red. Even her snow-white, smooth jade-like neck visibly reddened at a speed discernible to the naked eye.

Then, beneath Qian Chengxiao's utterly astonished gaze, steam genuinely rose from Tang Yuehua's head, and she fainted right in front of him.

Looking at Tang Yuehua, who had fainted from shyness, and seeing her body tilt slightly backward, Qian Chengxiao swiftly pulled her into his arms, preventing her from falling to the ground.

So there really were people in this world who could transform into a Hinata-brand Steam Girl, who could actually faint from bashfulness.

Looking at Steam Girl Tang Yuehua, whose little face was flushed red as she lay in his arms, Qian Chengxiao smiled.

She really was a cute girl. Clearly the eldest young lady of the Clear Sky Sect, yet whenever she faced him, she became a little silly.

Innocent and naive, yet beneath that silliness was thoughtful concern and consideration for others.

He had never expected that this trip to the Clear Sky Sect would bring him such an adorable hidden treasure of a girl.

Tang Yuehua had fainted quickly in Qian Chengxiao's arms, but she woke up just as quickly.

Less than three minutes later, Tang Yuehua, who had fainted in Qian Chengxiao's embrace, let out a soft "Mmmnh" and slowly opened her eyes.

It would have been better if she had not opened them. The instant she did, she saw Qian Chengxiao right before her.

Feeling herself held in his arms and seeing Qian Chengxiao's handsome face and eyes full of concern—

Tang Yuehua, who had just awakened, fainted again.
