Listening to the beauty in his arms cry and pour out her heart, Qian Chengxiao held Tang Yuehua close, his palm resting on her Little Head as he gently stroked it again and again.
His eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at her. "Silly girl, I won't."
"I won't leave you, and I won't abandon you."
"Unless you abandon me, I will never abandon you."
"How could I!"
The moment Qian Chengxiao finished speaking, Tang Yuehua, who had been crying in his arms, suddenly raised her head. Her tear-reddened eyes stared straight at him as she declared with determination, "How could I possibly abandon you!"
"You're so perfect. I can't wait to hold you tightly in my hands because I'm afraid you'll run away. How could I ever abandon you?"
"Silly girl!"
Hearing Tang Yuehua's words, Qian Chengxiao lowered his head, his gaze full of indulgence. "Since you said you wouldn't abandon me, how could I abandon you?"
"All right, don't overthink it."
"Mhm, mhm!"
Looking at Qian Chengxiao's indulgent gaze, Tang Yuehua felt as though she had already sunk into his Land of Gentle Softness.
Just a little longer. She would lie here just a little longer.
Lying in his arms was so comfortable, and smelling his scent from so close made her feel so safe, so safe.
With that thought, Tang Yuehua buried her Little Head in Qian Chengxiao's chest. Like an adorable kitten, she nuzzled against him with her Little Head, found a comfortable position, and quietly lay in his arms, listening to his heartbeat.
Just lying in his arms felt this comfortable and safe. If she could hold him while sleeping, wouldn't she die of happiness?
At that thought, Tang Yuehua, lying in Qian Chengxiao's arms and listening to his heartbeat, gradually blushed.
Her tear-reddened eyes were now filled with shyness and anticipation.
That's right, that's right.
Mother had said that when she met the right one, she needed to make a move quickly.
Hadn't Father said it too? Cheng Xiao had just returned to the Clear Sky Sect and didn't know anything about the place, so she was to take him to eat and show him around the sect.
Then, she was to find him a place to stay.
But now, the sun had already set. Touring the Clear Sky Sect could wait until tomorrow.
Right now, the most important thing was finding him somewhere to sleep.
Father had already arranged their engagement. They only needed to wait until they came of age to hold their wedding.
Besides, in a person's life, one blink and one close of the eyes meant a day had passed.
Close your eyes and never open them again, and a lifetime had passed.
As for the day they would marry, it would arrive after nothing more than opening and closing their eyes.
Engagement = marriage.
Open eyes, close eyes = coming of age = marriage = husband and wife = they were already husband and wife.
Since they were husband and wife, sleeping together was only natural.
Then it was perfectly normal for her to arrange Qian Chengxiao's lodging in her own bedroom so they could sleep together!
If she firmly grabbed hold of him now, made him grow accustomed to her and understand how good she was, then even if Qian Chengxiao became a Title Douluo-level powerhouse in the future and became more popular, he would not abandon her.
At that thought, Tang Yuehua's eyes lit up, and she silently gave herself a thumbs-up for her cleverness.
Then, as Tang Yuehua considered how to tell him about her plan to trick him into—
Ahem, to naturally bring him into her bedroom, she secretly glanced at him from where she lay in his arms.
It would have been fine if she had not looked. But once she did, Tang Yuehua could no longer look away.
As Qian Chengxiao held Tang Yuehua, he recalled the things she had said to him, as well as the panic and helplessness on her face.
Then Yu Xiaogang, that piece of trash, came to mind.
They were both human. How could the gap between them be so enormous?
They were both from the Upper Three Sects. Tang Yuehua clearly understood her own shortcomings, while Yu Xiaogang, that hypocritical scumbag, cowardly piece of trash... heh.
Then Tang Yuehua, whom he had only known for a single day, surfaced in Qian Chengxiao's mind once again, followed by the care he had shown Bibi Dong in his previous life.
The difference between them was simply like heaven and earth.
Everything that had happened to him in his previous life had been entirely deserved.
Simps deserved to die.
At the same age, he had only made Cream Puffs for her once, yet the treasure of a girl before him had already discovered how good he was.
But what about Bibi Dong?
In his previous life, he had made delicious food for her, changing the dishes up for her almost every so often.
After feeding that ungrateful wretch for ten years, his Childhood Sweetheart still could not compare to that useless outsider, Yu Xiaogang.
Not to mention looks, strength, potential, or how well he treated her.
Even when it came to sweet talk, that piece of trash could not compare to him.
He could not understand how he had lost to that useless man who only knew how to spout flowery words.
Was it because he had targeted him? Because that guy pretended to be weak?
Or did a childhood sweetheart ultimately never compare to a newcomer?
Or was it simply a plot that even ten years of unwavering companionship could not escape?
Back then, he really had lard clogging his brain, hanging himself from that one tree.
For all the idiotic things he had done for that woman, Qian Chengxiao wished he could slap himself twice right now.
Look at little Tang Yuehua. This silly little foodie before him would turn into a Steam Girl every so often, and she even considered his feelings. Now this was his treasure of a girl.
Bibi Dong? Not even a dog would simp for her.
In this life, Bibi Dong was only fit to stand by the bed and, when he and his beauties were worn out from playing poker, give him a little push and lend a hand.
When his thoughts came to an end, Qian Chengxiao lowered his head and looked at Tang Yuehua in his arms.
He discovered that, at some point, she had been staring at him the entire time.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at my future Husband."
"He's really so handsome. I can never get enough of looking at him. The more I look, the more attractive he becomes!"
Only after saying that did Tang Yuehua realize that she had spoken her innermost thoughts aloud.
What was going on? What was going on?
Was this man poisonous or something?
Why had she blurted out what she was thinking? This was so embarrassing!
At that thought, Tang Yuehua let out a soft "Mmnh" and buried her Little Head in Qian Chengxiao's arms again.
I've got it!
Just as Tang Yuehua buried her Little Head in Qian Chengxiao's arms, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.
She knew how to trick him into—
Ahem~
How to get him to sleep in her bedroom.
Hehe~ They all say I'm naive, they all say I'm naive, but I'm clever as hell~
With that thought, Tang Yuehua completely "fainted" in Qian Chengxiao's arms.
"This girl!"
Seeing Tang Yuehua pretend to faint in his arms, Qian Chengxiao did not know what she was plotting, but he did not expose her.
Instead, he scooped Tang Yuehua up in a princess carry and headed toward her room.
After Qian Chengxiao placed Tang Yuehua on the bed and removed her shoes and socks, he was just about to turn and leave when Tang Yuehua, who had been pretending to faint, suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand.
"Don't go."
