This time, as long as I wished, I truly became the girlfriend of Nie Qiuyuan, a genuine male god. Moreover, wasn't I the one who came to the Tang Dynasty to pursue him? From the current situation, it seemed like he was the one pursuing me.
I was being led by Nie Qiuyuan, my mind clouded as we walked up the mountain. Just moments ago, he had been wild, biting and nibbling at me for over half an hour, leaving me nearly breathless. Now, he seemed to have come to his senses, a blush on his face as he dared not look directly at me, focusing instead on the path ahead like an inexperienced young man.
Oh my gosh, is this really him?! What has happened to this world?
However, as we continued walking, I gradually felt that something was off.
"Night Phantom will never appear before you again!" The man holding my hand had just arrogantly declared this.
On what grounds? How dare he interfere with Night's freedom!
But it seemed that Night was utterly obedient to him, doing everything for him and considering his needs. Perhaps if he issued such orders, Night would comply.
On what grounds?!
If I could no longer see Night, how isolated and helpless would my life in the Tang Dynasty be!
But still… what had just happened? I had been so immersed in it…
How embarrassing!
I wasn't someone who was indecisive; I would definitely figure out my feelings. I needed to see Night and talk to him. Where there was Autumn, there was Night; he must be nearby. So, I called out for him.
That night we still stayed at Wanzi Mountain. After midnight passed, I sat at the table waiting for Night Phantom while reading Ye Liuhui's letter of farewell, completely unable to sleep. The candlelight flickered as my mind was filled with worries.
Everything was silent; there wasn't a sound around. Yet suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around me from behind, gently enclosing me in a warm embrace.
I wasn't scared at all because this embrace was so tender. Night? He hadn't listened to Autumn! He had come! But what was this embrace about? Night had held me before, but that was always in moments of urgency. This embrace felt different; even without seeing the person behind me, I could clearly sense the warmth of his chest against my back filled with deep affection.
"Night?"
The person behind me fell silent but pulled me up from the chair and turned me around.
“It’s me.”
The man looking down at me smiled gently, incredibly handsome, but it wasn’t Night; it was Nie Qiuyuan.
I had called for Night, expecting him to come find me, but instead, it was Qiu. What did this mean?
Perhaps it was true what he said—I might never see Night again.
I raised my fist and pounded it against Nie Qiuyuan's chest. After one hit, the resentment in my heart intensified, and I couldn’t help but use both hands to strike him repeatedly on the chest.
Maybe I was hitting a bit too hard; he furrowed his brows, but he didn’t resist at all, allowing me to finish before wrapping his arms around me.
“I don’t want you to have feelings for anyone else, not even him.” Qiu pouted, looking just like a sulky child.
For some reason, I had a strange feeling that if I liked Luo Dachun, he would be willing to step aside. But if I liked Night Phantom, he would insist on taking me for himself?
“Qiu, don’t be like this. I need to figure out my own feelings, and Night is my good friend. I hope to maintain a normal relationship with him.” I spoke to him using lines straight out of a modern romance drama.
“See? You’re calling my name so smoothly now. You should call me more often; practice makes perfect.” He smiled, his words completely off-topic.
“I want to see him!” I wasn’t swayed.
“I can replace him. Everything he can give you, I can give you too.” He suddenly leaned closer to me. “So don’t hold back. Hmm? Or do you want me to find another way to silence you?”
I quickly shut my mouth. When I returned home, I looked in the mirror and noticed that my lips were swollen; I definitely couldn’t withstand any more of his antics. More importantly, my heart couldn’t take this emotional rollercoaster anymore.
However, I absolutely wouldn’t sit idly by. My own thoughts would eventually become clear to me; there was no rush today. Besides, would rushing help? Well, now that a handsome man was right beside me, offering himself up willingly, why not try spending some time with him and see if there was any chemistry?
This must be the way modern girls approach love—giving each other a chance to see if they are compatible. And even if it turns out not to work in the end, with his looks and charm, no matter how you think about it, I still came out ahead.
And from what has happened today, it seems to be... a call! Oh my gosh, what am I thinking! This is my idol! I should hurry and accept this, I've completely lost my mind!
My intelligence quotient of 169 has returned; I decided to go with the flow and first accept my idol, then see how things unfold. After that, I would look for an opportunity to try and connect with Ye, to figure out what I truly feel inside.
Shameless? Yes, I am shameless. What can you do about it?
"What is this?" Nie Qiuyuan's attention shifted to the letter in my hand from Ye Liuhui.
I paused for a moment, and suddenly felt a bead of sweat trickle down.
The only one who knows I am no longer Ye Liuhui's person is Ye; Qiu, however, is unaware. But this letter is filled with affection for Luo Dachun!
On the surface, in an instant, it seemed like I was juggling three relationships at once. Who would have thought that someone like me, who has never been in a relationship before, could suddenly display such a flamboyant performance on this matter? It was utterly embarrassing.
"Practice... practice writing!" I grabbed the notepad on the table and quickly stuffed it into my pocket.
Qiu let out a gentle sigh.
"What are you afraid of? If you don't want to show me, I won't force you. There’s no pen or ink on this table anyway; practicing writing..."
I found myself at a loss for words.
Fortunately, Nie Qiuyuan thoughtfully changed the subject.
"I haven't been attentive these days. What exactly is going on with your body as Ren Pingsheng mentioned?"
Finally, a normal topic! I recounted the incidents of sleepwalking, digging up soil, and practicing martial arts that had occurred during this time, focusing on the key points. Of course, I omitted anything related to Ye Liuhui and Luo Dachun.
"In short, I've been practicing a strange internal skill. Later, due to memory loss, I forgot the techniques as well. Then when you taught me how to cultivate energy, it suddenly resurfaced," I concluded.
"A technique that absorbs others' internal energy?" Nie Qiuyuan seemed puzzled. "Why would you practice something like that?"
I shook my head. Of course, I knew why, but I couldn't.
Yes, this was also a very important matter. The moment I finished reading Ye Liuhui's letter, I had already made my decision in my heart.
I had to find a way to save Luo Dachun's life. This was not only because Ye Liuhui had only this one wish and I owed her rent, but also because Luo Dachun was my friend and someone very important to me, wasn't he?
Nie Qiuyuan's expression grew more serious as he listened, and finally, he sighed.
"All these years, I never expected... You hid it so well that I didn't notice at all. From now on, you should temporarily stop practicing internal skills. I'll teach you some external martial arts first. I'll come up with a solution for the anomalies in your body; just leave it to me, okay?"
His eyes were filled with concern and tenderness, and my nod was a choice without options.
"I'm sorry," he said as he embraced me again. "I want you, but I have to make you endure hardships to learn how to protect yourself. I will compensate you in other ways and prove it to you in the days to come."
I buried my face in his embrace, yet curiosity and anticipation began to blossom within me.
What exactly would this "compensation" be?
I really wanted to know.
