The dim moonlight spilled into the large pit where Ye Qiu was located.
Dugu Yan held a quilt in her arms and slowly approached him, the tear stains on her face already wiped away, leaving only a faint blush.
Since her grandfather had already messed things up like this, leaving the rice half-cooked.
She didn't want to wait any longer, to suffer any longer.
She urgently wanted to know how Ye Qiu would handle their relationship.
In the pit, Ye Qiu, who seemed to be asleep, was actually still exceptionally clear-headed.
The approaching footsteps made him open his eyes.
Looking up, her striking green eyes, surprisingly, held no anger, but rather a hint of nervousness, sorrow, and shyness.
Her purple-green long hair cascaded like a waterfall, spread over her shoulders and back; although some strands were a bit messy, covering her slightly flushed and weary face, this only made her appear more beautiful, with a sense of fragility.
Her footsteps walked towards Ye Qiu at a steady pace.
"Miss Dugu... Uh!"
Ye Qiu had just sat up and called out to her, but Dugu Yan didn't answer. With a sudden acceleration, she rushed straight towards Ye Qiu, crashing into his arms and quickly pushing him down.
Ye Qiu gasped in surprise, falling back into the pit.
However, unlike when Ye Qiu was alone just now.
At this moment, there was no trace of coolness in the pit; his arms now held a proud and delicate body pressed tightly against him. The quilt Dugu Yan had brought also drifted down, covering both of them.
Gusts of warm air brushed against Ye Qiu's face, making it hot, and he could smell a sweet fragrance at the tip of his nose.
"Mi-Miss Dugu... Are you alright?"
Ye Qiu struggled slightly, but then felt a row of silver teeth on his shoulder, ready to bite.
This scene was exactly like when he was drugged.
Dugu Yan was pressing down on him, and the sensation and warmth from her chest made Ye Qiu unsure where to put his hands.
"Hiss!" Ye Qiu gasped, facing him and pressing against Ye Qiu, Dugu Yan wriggled her body, moving slightly upwards, her hands already on his shoulders.
"Do you think I'm alright?! Hmm?" She leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear, her voice still relatively calm.
Then, propping herself up on Ye Qiu's shoulders, she slightly raised her upper body, her beautiful eyes looking directly at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu gritted his back teeth; her soft, full body, with every movement, made it difficult for Ye Qiu to suppress the heat within him.
"Am I making things very difficult for you? Hmm?" Her eyes were shy and timid as she looked down at Ye Qiu, her originally calm voice suddenly trembling.
Her face showed panic and a flush of crimson, and her hands seemed to be losing strength, almost falling onto Ye Qiu's face, but she forced herself to hold on.
Perhaps it was the lingering effects of the 'I Love a Stick' medicine, or perhaps the stimulation she provided was too great, causing her to once again feel Ye Qiu's temperature, which was frighteningly hot.
Facing the ripples in her eyes, Ye Qiu's heart ungracefully pounded rapidly. He silently turned his head away, the Sharingan in his eyes flickering, wishing he could escape immediately and dispel the burning heat within him.
Dugu Yan's long hair draped down, resting on Ye Qiu's cheek, a little ticklish. She didn't speak anymore, just quietly waited for Ye Qiu's answer.
In just a moment, Ye Qiu adjusted his position.
"Hoo," Ye Qiu exhaled a hot breath, the flickering blood-red light in his eyes vanished, and he turned to look at her directly.
His hands had slowly wrapped around her waist. Perhaps it was due to her snake Spirit, Dugu Yan's waist was very slender and soft.
Dugu Yan's gaze was also firmly locked on him. Feeling the large hands on her waist, her pupils trembled slightly, and her body felt somewhat weak.
Embracing her body, Ye Qiu slowly spoke.
"Actually... it is quite difficult..."
Hearing Ye Qiu's voice, Dugu Yan, who had still felt some joy in her heart, trembled, and a hint of paleness quickly appeared on her face.
Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, she couldn't help but question him.
"So... so, Ye Qiu, what do you intend to do with me?! Just like before, when you saw through me, will you wait for me to forgive you?"
Then, a self-deprecating expression appeared on her face, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she gave a bitter smile.
"No, this time you don't seem to need forgiveness. This time, it wasn't your fault to begin with."
Before she could finish speaking, her eyes blinked, and tears fell, dripping down her long eyelashes onto Ye Qiu's face.
"Ho-how could that be?! I-I will certainly take responsibility for you!" Seeing her suddenly burst into tears, Ye Qiu immediately panicked, speaking a bit incoherently.
He had clearly already intimately embraced her slender waist, wasn't that meaning obvious enough?! And also, please let me finish what I'm saying!
He hurriedly let go of her slender waist, reached out, and wiped away her tears, not forgetting to continue explaining.
"You, you misunderstood. The reason I found it difficult was only because I was wondering if you would accept a playboy like me. I was thinking... if you weren't willing, how could I make you agree!"
Ye Qiu cupped Dugu Yan's cheeks, the pad of his thumb gently caressing her moist tear ducts.
His voice was uncertain, and he felt a bit nervous in his heart.
"Then, Miss Dugu, I... I want to fulfill that marriage contract with you, are you willing?"
Dugu Yan finally calmed down. Hearing Ye Qiu's question, she saw his face flush red, and suddenly felt a bit too shy to speak, lowering her gaze and not daring to look directly at Ye Qiu.
"Didn't you hear clearly what Grandpa said earlier?"
Ye Qiu's expression froze. That disrespectful old man did seem to have said that she already had a good impression of him, but how deep was that good impression? He wasn't entirely clear.
"So, you've agreed?"
Facing Ye Qiu's still uncertain tone, Dugu Yan bit her lip and gave him a charming, exasperated look.
She quickly pushed away Ye Qiu's hands cupping her face, a blush blooming on her cheeks, looking exquisitely beautiful, and slowly lowered her head.
Pop! Ye Qiu's pupils dilated, and he felt a bit breathless from the pressure of her soft chest. He watched, wide-eyed, her beautiful face so close, and suddenly felt a cool, soft sensation on his face.
Dugu Yan was gathering the tears that had just fallen onto Ye Qiu's cheek, one by one. Her body unconsciously pressed closer to Ye Qiu, and her arms were already wrapped around his neck.
The sparks grew fiercer and fiercer.
Finally, their red lips and white teeth met. Ye Qiu's hands, which had been suspended in the air, slowly lowered, resting on her waist and back. He tilted his head slightly, silently responding.
Outside, the previously dim moonlight gradually brightened.
Coincidentally, the mist above the pit dispersed, and a soft beam of light fell upon the young man and woman in the pit, illuminating the silver red thread of fate.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Dugu Yan's earlobes were dripping blood. Noticing her somewhat moist vermilion lips, she couldn't help but purse them.
"Is it clear enough now?!"
"Enough, enough..." Ye Qiu almost couldn't breathe, feeling a bit dazed.
"Pfft, haha!" Seeing Ye Qiu's disoriented look, Dugu Yan also laughed out loud.
"Are you alright?!"
"Miss Dugu... I'm a little out of breath!"
"Ah, mmm~"
Ye Qiu reached out to push Dugu Yan off him a little, but he pressed the wrong spot.
This caused Dugu Yan to let out a soft cry, and she left Ye Qiu's body with a blush.
"Hoo-chih!" Ye Qiu lay flat like the character '木' (wood), his chest heaving, breathing heavily.
Dugu Yan tossed the quilt aside and sat on the ground beside Ye Qiu, her face flushed with shyness, her body a bit damp; they were so close it was quite hot.
