Yu Chu widened her eyes and felt his warm lips on her ears. She couldn’t help but shudder and she extended her trembling hand to push him away.
“Calm down first. I…”
Her outstretched hand was intercepted by the young man as he chuckled deeply. His clear, pleasant voice rang in her ear and it made her heart tremble.
“Lai En, are you afraid that I will do something to you?”
He bit her ear and listened to the girl’s slightly unsteady breathing as he asked in a low whisper.
Afraid?
My master… It isn’t the time to do such things right now! Don’t you know that morning is approaching?
Yu Chu gritted her teeth as she felt his long hand gliding beneath her clothes. His hand seemed to be absent-mindedly exploring her body as it slided upwards unhurriedly.
The touch of his warm fingertips and clearly-defined knuckles were exceedingly alluring. Yu Chu, who was thinking of dodging him, bit her lip and closed her eyes.
“… I, I like you!”
Hence, An Moer halted his actions. It was so quiet that time seemed to have stopped.
The girl with her eyes closed, coughed once. She hastily quipped, “I really like you…”
She blushed and opened her eyes. “Can you listen to me?”
The man’s good-looking eyes were fixed intently on her. The icy blue of his eyes seemed to be mingled with other emotions. Finally, it changed into a thick and dense darkness.
He didn’t make any movement for a long time. In the end, his eyelashes fell and his actions became gentle. He bent his head to kiss her neck lightly as he gripped her waist with her fingers. He then hugged her and blinked.
“Yes, Lai En. You can say anything.”
Yu Chu tried to glance at the beautiful young man as he hugged her. However, she could only see his exquisite collarbones.
A light chuckle sounded on top of her head. “Lai En, say whatever is on your mind. I will listen to you.”
His voice sounded muffled and glum as her head was pressed against his chest. Nevertheless, he was still gentle and affectionate. The system had told Yu Chu the reason why he could speak tonight. Hence, she couldn’t help but murmur softly,
“I have discussed it with Princess Dai Linnuo. After the ceremony tomorrow, we will leave.”
The slender body beside her froze instantly.
After several seconds, the man asked in a deep voice,
“We?”
“Yeah, we.” The girl extended her hands to clench his clothes. “I will leave with you. Alright?”
The system had said that he wouldn’t turn into bubbles. Hence, Yu Chu had come up with this plan.
Logically, she had won his approval and it wouldn’t matter if she didn’t complete her other mission. She could simply leave this place.
But if she was gone… What would happen to An Moer?
Would he turn into bubbles? If he didn’t, would he spend the next few centuries alone and lonely?
She gripped the man’s clothes tightly. Silence hung over them for a long time.
He didn’t reply immediately.
He gently brushed against the top of her head as he blinked. He suddenly asked softly,
“Then, do you love me?”
“I love you,” the girl replied instinctively.
When the confession left her lips, daylight broke over the horizon and dispersed the darkness.
The young man had a tiny smile on his beautiful face and the light illuminated his fair and soft skin.
He bent his head and his soft, thin lips brushed lightly against the girl’s lips. His eyelashes fluttered gently.
“I got it.”
“If a human loves you more than anything else, she will give half of her soul and happiness to you.”
The curse had been broken.
