Tang Yue finished washing up and changed into a light, dark-red dress.
She came before the mirror and looked at her reflection. Her full, exquisite figure was like a ripe peach, exuding a faint charm. Her three-thousand strands of black hair fell casually from her fragrant shoulders, hanging straight down to her slender waist.
She raised her eyes slightly, seemingly quite satisfied. Her narrow, slightly languid eyes brimmed with bewitching allure.
With the nourishment she had received last night, her whole person had changed dramatically~
Just as Tang Yue was admiring herself in the mirror, Tang Miao appeared there without her noticing.
"Stop it~"
Just standing beside her gave Tang Yue a strange feeling... After letting out a shy, coquettish complaint, Tang Yue pushed Tang Miao away.
Tang Yue had already finished reporting on her work, and she would have nothing much to do over the next few days. Looking at Tang Miao, she said gently, "Go wash up. Let's go out and look around."
"But I'd rather explore some unknown territory with you~" After being pushed away, Tang Miao clung to her again like a piece of sticking plaster, looking thoroughly emboldened.
Tang Yue said bashfully, "Because we captured Chao He this time, I'll be taking more than ten days off~"
"Okay, then. I'll wash up, and then we can go out."
Tang Yue was essentially telling Tang Miao, I have more than ten days free. Are you really planning to spend them with me like this? Tang Miao was no fool. If he said they should just stay like this, Tang Yue might not get angry, but she would definitely feel a little disappointed.
He knew exactly what to do in a situation like this. Besides, going out for a stroll would be great too~ They could buy some clothes and browse the fitting rooms... watch a movie, or take a walk through a park late at night when no one was around~~
After thinking through the route he had planned, Tang Miao quickly finished washing up... As soon as he came out, he was once again subjected to a barrage of calls from Ai Tutu.
He was rather impressed by her persistence. She had clearly remembered that he had tricked her into treating him to a meal!
Tang Miao immediately added her to his blacklist.
Once the barrage of calls ended and they had finished getting ready, the two left the apartment.
When they went outside, the sun was at its fiercest.
Fortunately, Tang Miao used a block of sun-shielding ice to keep Tang Yue from feeling the sun's scorching heat. Still, although it was comfortable, it was somewhat extravagant...
Tang Yue looked at Tang Miao holding her and said softly, "Don't you know how to conserve your magic energy?"
"If I didn't do this, would you still be able to stay this close to me?"
Tang Yue said helplessly, "We're practically conjoined twins..."
Tang Miao grinned. "Isn't that great? Besides, I want to stay glued to you for the rest of my life."
As he spoke, he let go and made a certain gesture. It was quite simple, but Tang Yue understood it instantly.
A blush appeared on her charming, bewitching oval face. She lightly smacked Tang Miao and spat shyly.
Tang Miao did not mind. But just as he was about to hold Tang Yue again, she suddenly darted several meters away...
The corner of Tang Miao's mouth twitched as he looked at Tang Yue in the distance and complained, "You have the nerve to accuse me of wasting magic energy!"
Tang Yue gave a coquettish "hmph~" and then grumbled, "We've been out for half an hour, and we still haven't even covered the distance I usually walk in five minutes! Are we going to West Lake or not?"
"Okay, okay... My mistake."
As he apologized, Tang Miao quickened his pace. When he reached Tang Yue, he took her small hand and said, "Even so, you can't separate yourself from me."
Tang Yue said helplessly, "Hurry up. I'm hungry."
"How about I summon Little White to carry us?"
"No!"
Tang Yue rejected the idea without even thinking. Even while walking, Tang Miao was extremely restless. If she let Little White carry them, she could forget about keeping her clothes neat and intact.
After Tang Yue's complaints, Tang Miao's mouth remained active, but his hands became much more restrained. They found a well-reviewed restaurant, enjoyed a hearty meal, and then headed toward West Lake.
Although he had been born in Hangzhou in this life, he had never actually come to West Lake specifically for a stroll.
...They walked along the shore of West Lake. There were people scattered everywhere—men and women, young and old. Since it was summer vacation, countless people had brought their children out traveling.
Beside the drooping willows and the lake's reflection, the scenery was like a painting. With her lotus-like steps and willow-soft figure, the beauty walking across Broken Bridge Remnant Snow was actually more striking than the scenery itself. But with Big Wife right beside him, how could he dare let his thoughts wander?
Along the way, Tang Yue might truly have been admiring the scenery. Tang Miao, however, was either looking at the fair-skinned, long-legged women around them or staring at Tang Yue without blinking.
The feeling after breaking through compared to before breaking through really seemed somewhat different.
"Aiya~"
Tang Yue was not truly admiring the scenery either. After all, Tang Miao's predatory gaze was completely undisguised. How could she calm down and appreciate West Lake's beauty?
Hearing Tang Yue's coquettish complaint, Tang Miao pretended not to know what was wrong. "What is it, darling?"
Tang Yue said angrily and bashfully, "Can't you think about anything else for once?"
They had been together for so long, yet no matter when it was, Tang Miao seemed to be thinking only about how to bully her! Couldn't he act like a normal couple for once and simply come out to stroll and have fun?
"What are you talking about?"
"How come I don't understand?"
As Tang Miao asked, he held Tang Yue's jade-like hand and led her toward the nearby woods.
"You..."
Tang Yue was almost laughing from anger. Was Tang Miao always going to brush off the topic like this?
She had obviously seen right through him, yet he simply refused to admit it.
Because she was angry, Tang Yue failed to notice that the crowd around them had gradually thinned as he led her along...
After complaining a few times, Tang Yue also realized that something was wrong... Why were there hardly any people here? And there was a large, sturdy tree right in front of them.
Standing beside the sturdy tree and looking out at West Lake, Tang Miao suddenly felt that West Lake's beauty truly lived up to its reputation!
"Darling~ West Lake really is beautiful. How about we 'play' here for a while longer?"
Tang Miao's voice had changed slightly, but from his tone, it was clear that he genuinely liked this place.
Tang Yue's breathing was somewhat disordered. She shook her head. "N-no!"
What was he thinking? How could they stay in a place like this for long?
