Feng Chengyuan was in a daze for a while. Then he saw Yu Nian smiling brightly, like the gentle and warm winter sun, illuminating every corner of his heart.
Without hesitation, he reached out and pulled Yu Nian into his arms. There was a tenderness and affection in his eyes that he didn't even notice himself.
...
The orange lights beside the hot spring were reflected on the rippling water surface. Wispy smoke surrounded Yu Nian and Feng Chengyuan, creating a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.
Perhaps due to the angle of view, the hot - spring pool seemed quite large when Yu Nian was inside the house. But when she walked up to it, she found that it could only accommodate two or three people. If she and Feng Chengyuan got into the hot spring together, even a slight turn would make their arms touch...
Yu Nian coughed softly and stepped into the hot spring first. White mist rose from the pool, and the warmth gradually spread throughout her body. Yu Nian stretched out her arms and let out a comfortable sigh.
Not long after, the water rippled. Yu Nian opened her eyes slightly and saw the cold - looking man approaching slowly. An icy aura suddenly mixed with the warm sulfur smell.
The two were a bit too close. Yu Nian wanted to take a step back and lean on the rock on one side of the pool to make room for Feng Chengyuan.
Unexpectedly, the rock had been soaked by the spring water and was extremely slippery. Yu Nian accidentally slipped and fell backwards.
The sound of splashing water echoed through the courtyard. The next second, she fell into Feng Chengyuan's strong and warm embrace.
Yu Nian was stunned. She could feel the increasingly clear heartbeat behind her, and Feng Chengyuan's breathing became heavier.
Yu Nian turned her head curiously and saw that the collar of Feng Chengyuan's bathrobe had been messily pulled down to his waist, exposing his well - built upper body.
Yu Nian coughed twice and said shyly as she patted Feng Chengyuan's shoulder, "Are you okay?"
Just then, a warm drop of water slid down Yu Nian's eyelashes and happened to land on Feng Chengyuan's chest, then slowly slid down.
Yu Nian's hands moved carelessly, not noticing Feng Chengyuan's darkening eyes at all.
It wasn't until her wrist was gently grasped by Feng Chengyuan that she noticed his voice had become hoarse, "..... Niannian, stop moving around."
Yu Nian seemed to realize something. Her ears suddenly turned red. Her usually clear eyes were now misty, as if filled with glistening water.
Yu Nian took a deep breath, suddenly reached out and hooked Feng Chengyuan's neck, and gently kissed his lips.
Yu Nian's lips were red and soft, like mist and clouds, gradually eroding Feng Chengyuan's last bit of will and making his heart melt.
Feng Chengyuan looked at Yu Nian tenderly. He took Yu Nian's hand and placed it on his hot chest. He saw a dark streamer flash across the character "Yu" on his chest, which was like a symbol of sovereignty.
Then he slowly moved closer, intertwined his fingers with Yu Nian's, and solemnly deepened the kiss.
I don't know how long it took for them to finally separate. Feng Chengyuan stroked Yu Nian's rosy lips with his fingertips, then hugged Yu Nian's waist tightly as if he wanted to melt her into his arms and sat her on his lap.
It was a sleepless night filled with tender passion...
The next day, Yu Nian didn't wake up until afternoon. She felt that the spiritual energy in her body was extremely abundant, even more so than in her previous life.
She tentatively moved her finger towards a corner of the yard. Suddenly, there was a loud "boom". The century - old tree in the yard was neatly split in the middle and fell to the ground.
Yu Nian took back her hand guiltily, looked up at the sky pretending to be innocent, and quickly scurried back into the room humming a tune.
...
Everyone from the Qingxin Temple had a great time playing and relaxing in Yushe Mountain for a few days. They didn't set off to return to the Qingxin Temple until the fifth day.
But when the car was driving to the intersection of the mountain villa, the road ahead suddenly became congested.
A group of people were surrounding a black sedan. Each of them was holding either a thick stick as wide as a bowl or a thick rope for tying people. Several women were squatting by the roadside crying desperately.
It seemed that they wanted to force the people in the black sedan to stay in the mountain villa.
In addition, many out - of - towners had stopped their cars to watch, and the scene was in great chaos.
He Zhiping wondered, "What's going on? How dare these people kidnap someone in broad daylight? They're so brazen!"
Yu Nian stared at the black sedan for a while and unexpectedly found a faint evil aura drifting out of the car.
She immediately got out of the car and pulled Feng Chengyuan into the crowd watching the scene.
Next to them was a middle - aged man in an apron. He was leisurely watching the commotion with a handful of melon seeds in his hand.
When he saw Yu Nian, he kindly made room for her and gave her a handful of melon seeds. He then enthusiastically explained the whole story.
"See those people surrounding the car? They're from the Yang family, a local family. They're seeking an explanation for their family member. The people in the car aren't strangers either. They're the girlfriend of the youngest son of the Yang family and her family."
He Zhiping cracked a couple of melon seeds and said, "So it's just a simple emotional dispute?"
The man waved his hand, "If it were just an emotional dispute, it would be easy to handle. It's very strange. Two years ago, Young Master Yang was studying in another place and met his current girlfriend. After they had been together for a while, Young Master Yang took his girlfriend back to his hometown. But who would have thought that his girlfriend looked down on Young Master Yang's family's financial situation. However, she really liked Young Master Yang, so she proposed to Mr. and Mrs. Yang that Young Master Yang should marry into her family. Mr. and Mrs. Yang had worked hard all their lives to raise their son, and they were very conservative. Naturally, they couldn't accept this proposal. The situation was really ugly at that time. Everyone in the mountain villa knew about it!"
Yu Nian thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. and Mrs. Yang didn't agree. What about Young Master Yang himself? Did he agree?"
The man immediately perked up and showed an appreciative smile as if to say "you've hit the nail on the head".
"That's where the conflict lies! Young Master Yang agreed to marry into his girlfriend's family. He even said that as long as his girlfriend was happy, he was willing to do anything. But as soon as he said this, the Yang family got really angry! Young Master Yang has an uncle who watched him grow up. This uncle was very angry when he saw the haughty look of Young Master Yang's girlfriend and was about to hit the girl. Young Master Yang fell out with his family because of this and didn't return to the village for two whole years. Mr. and Mrs. Yang missed their son so much that they lied about being sick to trick Young Master Yang back. After much persuasion, they managed to convince Young Master Yang to stay in the village. But who would have thought that just a few days later, Young Master Yang seemed to be possessed. He kept shouting that he wanted to marry into his girlfriend's family. Mr. and Mrs. Yang thought something was wrong with their son, so they took him to see a fortune - teller."
At this point, the man deliberately lowered his voice, "It's said that Young Master Yang was haunted by something. That thing was quite powerful, and even the fortune - teller couldn't do anything. Mr. and Mrs. Yang had to keep taking their son to see Taoist priests. But before they could find a way to solve the problem, Young Master Yang's girlfriend came again and forcibly took Young Master Yang away. Since then, the Yang family has frequently encountered accidents. In particular, Young Master Yang's uncle, a very good swimmer, actually drowned in a shallow pond! How could there be such a coincidence in the world? The Yang family suspected that the girl had done something. Well, Young Master Yang and his girlfriend are about to get married. His girlfriend specifically brought her parents here to get the household register, but Mr. Yang's family blocked them at the village entrance and refused to let them go no matter what."
