One More Kiss and Our Lips Will Split

--It's very likely...?

Third Cub: "Chirp chirp?"

--I wonder what he brought this time?

The Second Cub's eyes darted around, and its little mind immediately started working. "Chirp chirp?"

--How about we sneak off and take a look??

The Third Cub hesitated, then said, "Chirp chirp."

--Dad won't let us go out of the valley.

The Second Cub continued to urge, "Chirp, chirp, chirp."

--We'll hide on the mountain, behind the rocks, and take a look from afar. We won't be discovered by Dad or the other mutated monsters.

The Third Cub was tempted. She looked at the Eldest Cub and chirped, "Chirp, chirp chirp!"

Brother, are you going?

The Eldest Cub shook its head. "Chirp, chirp."

--If I don't go, none of you can go either.

He already embarrassed himself as a brother by sneaking food with his sisters last time, and he even apologized to Dad before. How could he do it again?

The Second Cub jumped to his side, sweetly chirping, "Chirp chirp~ chirp chirp~ chirp chirp~"

--Brother, please, just look at me once~

The Eldest Cub's attitude was firm. "Chirp chirp."

Not even half an eye.

Second Cub: Waaaaah, I'm truly the most pitiful little bird in the world.

As Tao Qiu out of the valley, Lou Yu had already driven into his territory and was heading towards the valley.

They spotted each other from a distance and quickened their pace.

Tao Qiu landed, and the car door opened.

Before Lou Yu could even get out of the car, Tao Qiu had already pounced on him.

The car door opened and then closed again. Tao Qiu squeezed Lou Yu into the driver's seat, leaning forward with his hands on the back of the seat, his long hair hanging down. When Lou Yu looked up, he smiled brightly at him.

Good afternoon! Did you bring everything I asked for?

He was talking, but his eyes never once looked at the back seat; his gaze was fixed on Lou Yu's face.

Lou Yu restrained himself, placing his hands at his sides, afraid he might not be able to resist putting his arm around Tao Qiu's waist, and that would be inappropriate for her.

A smile played on his lips, his eyes shimmering with light, reflecting Tao Qiu's image. "I brought them all. You can count them later."

"No need, I trust you." Actually, Tao Qiu had other things she wanted to do.

For example, teasing Lou Yu or something.

"May I sit down?" Tao Qiu asked softly, as if she were genuinely asking Lou Yu.

Lou Yu readily agreed, "Of course, sit wherever you like."

Tao Qiu smiled slyly, "Then I'll really sit wherever I like."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lou Yu watched as he turned around, then felt a weight on his leg, and his vision was filled with his smooth, white back.

Tao Qiu has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with delicate and firm skin. The lines of her shoulders and waist are soft and smooth, and her arms reveal thin muscles that exude vitality as she moves. Her snow-white long hair falls down her straight back, making her slender waist, without an ounce of excess fat, even more attractive.

Separated only by a layer of fabric, it was completely insufficient to prevent the warmth of their bodies from mingling; Tao Qiu was almost pressed against Lou Yu's chest.

Lou Yu became even more nervous, his fingers curling slightly as he tried his best to control himself.

Tao Qiu sensed Lou Yu's body tense up instantly; or rather, this was the effect he wanted.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Is it? Or is it? You don't want to be my temporary seat?" Tao Qiu turned around, looked at Lou Yu's somewhat dazed expression, and pretended to be angry as she snorted.

"No, you're welcome. I told you, you can sit anywhere." Lou Yu swallowed nervously, his Adam's apple bobbing, his heart pounding faster.

Tao Qiu was even more smug. "Her face is all red with anger, and she still says she's willing. Fine, I'll go sit next to her."

As Tao Qiu was speaking, he prepared to get up, but before he could stand up, a hand reached out from his waist, encircled his waist, and pulled him back.

"I really do. Blushing isn't anger, it's shyness."

Lou Yu spoke as bluntly as ever.

Tao Qiu turned around and sat sideways on Lou Yu's lap, so she could see him better.

Lou Yu also looked up, following Tao Qiu's gaze.

Tao Qiu chuckled softly, cupped his face in her hands, and gently stroked it with her fingertips. "Still a little hot... Hey! It's gotten even redder, haha."

Lou Yu didn't care at all about being laughed at by Tao Qiu. Just like last time, he took Tao Qiu's hand and pressed it against his face, "The redder you are? The redder it is, the more I like you."

"Huh? Is that what you mean?" Tao Qiu teased him deliberately, "But I didn't even blush, so does that mean I don't like you?"

Lou Yu quickly added, "This only applies to me. For me, you can do whatever you want."

"Oh my, is that our Little Yu? So good at talking." Tao Qiu's finger touched Lou Yu's lips.

"Little Yu? What's the new name you gave me?"

"Yes, do you like it?" Tao Qiu leaned closer to Lou Yu and lowered her voice, saying, "I'm a bird, and you're a fish. Birds eat fish, are you scared?"

Lou Yu raised his hand and tucked Tao Qiu's stray hair behind his ear, revealing his face completely.

"I'm not afraid." Lou Yu met Tao Qiu's gaze directly. "I'm willing to be devoured by you."

"Aren't you afraid?" Tao Qiu said, quickly pecking Lou Yu's lips before pulling back. "And now?"

Lou Yu subconsciously pursed his lips, but unfortunately, the touch was fleeting, leaving him no room to savor the moment.

Lou Yu boldly said, "If we can't figure it out, let's try again."

"Okay." Tao Qiu said, leaning forward, while Lou Yu raised his chin expectantly.

"Just kidding, I'm not trying." Tao Qiu chuckled mischievously, about to back out.

Lou Yu could no longer restrain himself. He reached out and grabbed Tao Qiu's neck, pulling her towards him. At the same time, he leaned in and said in a hoarse voice, "My dear Qiuqiu, please don't bully me, okay?"

Their lips were almost touching. Lou Yu could have easily kissed her himself, but at the last moment, he still wanted Tao Qiu to do it willingly.

His initial assertiveness moved Tao Qiu, while his subsequent gentlemanly demeanor softened Tao Qiu heart. Thus, Tao Qiu granted his wish.

Without Lou Yu's help this time, Tao Qiu's long hair fell completely down, obscuring their faces from view. Only when their lips met could one glimpse the tender ripples of spring rain falling on a lake through the strands of hair.

Fortunately, while their vision was blocked, their voices remained. Short, rapid breaths mixed with sticky, wet sounds revealed the passion and excitement between them.

Tao Qiu cupped Lou Yu's face in his hands, while Lou Yu wrapped one arm around his waist and pressed the other against his neck. This posture was both protective and restraining.

After a period of confusion, their heartbeats gradually synchronized, and this time Tao Qiu's face also turned red.

After all, Lou Yu once said that blushing means... well, you like it.

Chapter 48 Another kiss and their lips will bleed.

Neither of them knew exactly how long they kissed; in any case, their lips were numb when they finally separated.

Seeing Lou Yu's dazed eyes and flushed cheeks, looking like he was drunk, Tao Qiu thought to herself that she was probably not much different from him.

Tao Qiu breathed slightly and nestled deeper into Lou Yu's arms.

"Is this... our first kiss? We did it that night, but we didn't kiss."

Lou Yu snapped out of his daze, wrapped his arms around Tao Qiu's waist and back, and said, "Yes, it was my first kiss."

Tao Qiu chuckled, "Other people's first kisses are shy and fleeting, but ours are practically ready to devour each other! Is this the consequence of being single for too long?"

Lou Yu said, "When feelings run deep, and a kiss reaches its peak, there's nothing wrong with that."

"That's true." Tao Qiu wrapped her arms around Lou Yu's neck, staring at his lips, swollen from her kisses, her eyes seemingly coated with a warm light. "I knew birds would eat fish. Little Fishy, you're so delicious, just my type."

"I'm glad you like it. I wish you would eat it for me every day."

Lou Yu felt a surge of warmth under Tao Qiu's gaze, and before he could speak, his lips pressed against hers again.

Tao Qiu put her hand in front of them, and snorted, "Our lips will get sore from kissing so much. I have important things to discuss with you."

Lou Yu gave him a pitiful look. "Can't I even give you a tiny kiss? Is that okay?"

"No way! It's just a kiss, who knows if it might get out of control?"

Tao Qiu pulled Lou Yu's hand away, turned over and sat down next to him, "You and Xiao Little Yu should both calm down first."

At this age of youthful passion, and having kissed the person he liked for so long, it's normal to have a reaction. Tao Qiu had long felt the towering building rising in her heart.

Lou Yu didn't feel ashamed, but since Tao Qiu said they needed to talk about serious matters, he tried his best to control himself and let his pent-up emotions subside quickly.

While waiting, Tao Qiu didn't sit idle. He looked around and asked, "You came earlier today than last time, so you must have left even earlier. Did you bring lunch?"

"I brought it." Lou Yu pulled out a bag from behind, inside which was a food box larger than the last one. He opened the lid of the food box and found about a dozen palm-sized golden pastries neatly arranged inside.

Tao Qiu's eyes lit up. "Chicken cake?"

Lou Yu picked up one of the snacks and fed it to Tao Qiu, saying, "I brought so many specifically to share with you. I was worried you wouldn't like them, but it seems I don't have to worry about that now."

Lou Yu ate the rice ball all by himself last time; he really wants to share the food with Tao Qiu.

Tao Qiu was indeed hungry, having skipped lunch, and since Lou Yu had already said so, it wouldn't be right for him to refuse again.

He took a bite of the pastry through Lou Yu's hand; the familiar sweet aroma seemed to make his taste buds sigh with satisfaction.

"It's delicious! Did your teammate make this too?" Tao Qiu's eyes were full of joy. "He's so amazing! He can make anything!"

Tao Qiu was simply praising Chen Lin's cooking skills, and Lou Yu knew that, but he was still a little jealous.

He said, "I'm sorry, I tried to learn to cook before, but I just couldn't master it, so I had to give up. Otherwise, I could cook something delicious for you now."

Lou Yu's poor cooking skills may be inherited from his parents.
