Long Yuan instantly regretted it.
He really shouldn't have honestly told her that there was a door to the Dragon Palace, nor should he have allowed her to follow him all the way back to the palace.
Now look what happened; Turtle Prime Minister thought someone was launching a night raid on the East Sea Dragon Palace, and he nearly had a heart attack.
Although he was very reluctant, it seemed that if he didn't step in to resolve this, things would not end well.
"How long are you going to jump around at my Dragon Palace's entrance?" Long Yuan leaned against the doorframe, asking helplessly.
Yu Xiaoman wiped the sweat from her forehead and ran towards him excitedly, saying, "A Yuan, you’re out!"
Long Yuan raised his hand to his forehead and said helplessly, "If I hadn't come out, you would have broken down my front door."
Yu Xiaoman scratched her head awkwardly and replied, "I-I’m not that strong..."
Long Yuan looked at her in disbelief, thinking: Does she really think that's a compliment?
"It's getting late; hurry up and go home!" Long Yuan didn't want to waste any more time with her and turned to head towards his bedroom.
Yu Xiaoman calculated the time in her mind. She thought there was still an hour until the second day of April, and she needed to hold on just a bit longer.
Even though she had warned herself to be careful and not hit the door, it felt as if the Dragon Palace's grand entrance had a mind of its own. As she grew taller, the door seemed to grow taller too, making it impossible for her to see where the top of the door was.
So, not hitting the door... that was simply impossible.
Before long, a sleepy Long Yuan was called out again.
"How many times do I have to say this?" Long Yuan suppressed his anger, trying to keep his tone calm.
He really didn't want to lose his temper; he truly didn't.
But Yu Xiaoman, who had just leaped into the air, was startled by his shout. With a yelp, she fell straight down from mid-air.
Long Yuan instinctively reached out to support her, and Yu Xiaoman took advantage of his assistance to stand up steadily. She looked at Long Yuan with gratitude and said, "It's so late, and you still came out to help me. Thank you."
Long Yuan glanced at his hand, feeling secretly frustrated: why was it so disobedient?
Yu Xiaoman also looked at the hand he had grabbed, her face instantly flushing as she thought to herself: maybe I shouldn't wash my hands for a while.
"Get away from my doorstep. Now. Immediately."
Long Yuan issued his final ultimatum in a stern voice, then shook off his hand and returned to the house, feeling a surge of annoyance.
Would Yu Xiaoman listen to him? Of course not.
So, a quarter of an hour later, she saw Long Yuan appear before her like a whirlwind.
Without saying a word, Long Yuan scooped her up and headed inside.
"A-Yuan?" Yu Xiaoman was startled at first, then struggled and said, "Just let me jump for another half an hour."
Long Yuan took a deep breath, repeatedly reminding himself not to lose his temper, not to explode in anger, and not to let the refined image he had painstakingly built over the years be ruined in an instant.
He kicked open his bedroom door with a bang and slammed it shut behind him, securing the latch.
Then he pulled out a lock with a long chain attached and swiftly locked it around both his and Yu Xiaoman's wrists. Finally, he tucked the key away, jumped onto the bed, lowered the canopy, and prepared to sleep without saying another word.
Yu Xiaoman looked at the lock on her wrist and then at the gently swaying canopy, blinking in confusion.
He was sleeping inside the bed while she stood outside—what kind of situation was this? But what could she do? The key was in his hands… wait, the key!
Yu Xiaoman held back her frustration. Once she heard Long Yuan's breathing steadying, she quietly crept toward the edge of the bed, slowly parting the canopy and cautiously poking her head inside.
She first felt around Long Yuan's pillow but couldn't find the key. Then she stealthily reached toward his waist.
Hmm... it feels hard, as if I've touched something.
Yu Xiaoman's heart leaped with joy as she reached for the Key to unlock it.
Suddenly, Long Yuan on the bed raised his hand and tossed her back onto the bed.
"A Yuan, the lock, the lock."
Yu Xiaoman rubbed her sore backside while raising her hand in front of Long Yuan.
Long Yuan opened his eyes and shouted at her, "Shut up!"
Counting the time, Yu Xiaoman felt anxious and hurriedly got up, preparing to climb down from Long Yuan.
Long Yuan grabbed her and pressed her back down, threatening, "If you disturb my sleep again, I'll take advantage of you!"
Looking into his starry eyes that sparkled with brilliance, Yu Xiaoman was momentarily stunned.
Long Yuan thought his threat had worked; a slight smile crept onto his lips as he prepared to drift off to sleep. Just then, he heard Yu Xiaoman, recovering from her daze, shyly say, "If it's a reward for saving me, I wouldn't mind being taken advantage of."
Long Yuan: "……"
