Chapter 744 - 753: Night Outing (7)
Since the incident ten years ago, Jian Anning had felt somewhat uncomfortable with uncontrollable events that occurred in the night.
Yu Zexiao watched her still slightly pale face but pretended to be composed, and couldn’t help but find it amusing, "Really? I wonder who it is that’s holding onto me so tightly right now!"
As soon as his words ended, Jian Anning immediately let go, recoiling as if she had touched some pathogen, "Not at all, it was clearly you who was holding me!"
Seeing Jian Anning act so shamelessly was something Yu Zexiao rarely encountered. At that moment, he thought it was both novel and amusing. As he watched her gently release him and wander leisurely on the island, he couldn’t help but laugh and follow her.
This little island was like a miniature "Penglai Immortal Realm," surrounded by lush greenery. Although it didn’t welcome outsiders, there were gardeners and maintenance staff who would come regularly to prune and clean, which is why the plants and trees here were so beautiful.
Especially the waterside pavilion here, a quaint two-story structure painted red, leading upwards from the ground floor. Perhaps because it was often cleaned, the pavilion wasn’t as dirty as those found in typical tourist spots, though, of course, there was still some dust. Looking out at the railing, one could see the entire Houhu shrouded in a thin mist, as though it was part of an otherworldly realm.
She and Yu Zexiao stood amidst this light mist, amidst the expanse of Houhu, as if they were cut off from the rest of the world.
