283 Last Goodbye (2/2)
When he thought that she should have studied enough, Yang Yun carried his wife away, and the two sat down on the dry grass to rest. As the cold wind blew over, Yang Yun took off his robe and draped it over his wife.
Just as Mingyue was about to return his robe, Yang Yun spoke. ”It's cold. If you didn't want to wear them, I guess we should return to the camp.”
Mingyue pouted, but when her husband did not budge from his decision, Mingyue could only tighten the robe on her body. Instantly, her body felt warmer. ”It has been a while since the two of us gone out for a walk like this,”
”Hmm,” Yang Yun agreed. It was true that the two of them had not gone out for a walk ever since they returned to Da Cheng. Because of Mingyue's condition, Yang Yun often worried that something might happen to her.
”Do you think we will see them again?”
He did not have to ask to know that his wife was referring to the Lin's family. ”I don't know. It would be good to see them again. But, not seeing each other again is also a good thing. After all, we belong to a different world.”
Jiang Mingyue sighed as she thought about the Lin's family, who had helped her when she was lost in the other world. She searched for Yang Yun's hand and held it tightly. ”Yang Yun, let's never separate again.”
Yang Yun kissed her on her forehead and said, ”Good. ”
Mingyue leaned her head on Yang Yun's arms and let him wrapped his arms around her. When something caught her eyes, Mingyue sat up straight and gasped.
”Mingyue? What's wrong?”
”Fireflies!” Mingyue pointed towards the blinking light around her. The sight of the fireflies brought her back to the memories where the two of them were taking a night walk during the Spring Hunt.
Back then, they were newlyweds. Because the cold poison attacked the Princess's body, Mingyue had to leave her husband and enter the palace. They only met again during the Spring Hunt. On the night they arrived, Yang Yun took her to watch some fireflies near the stream where the two of them had a date.
Mingyue's lips curved into a mischievous smile as she turned to look at the man beside her. She pushed herself up and planted a kiss at the corner of his lips. ”This is your reward.”
Yang Yun looked at his wife, inquiringly.
”Back then, you asked for a reward, but I was too distracted when I saw the Night Mist Flower,” Mingyue said shyly.
Yang Yun laughed. He did not expect that his wife would remember such things. ”This reward is six years too late.” He pinched her soft cheeks.
”Didn't they say, better late than never?”
Yang Yun stared at his wife and chuckled. ”Don't you think you need to compensate me for waiting for the reward for too long?”
Mingyue tilted her head up as she continued to watch him, ”You… what do you plan to do?”
He did not answer. Yang Yun wrapped a hand on her waist, and another hand was pulling Mingyue's closer to him. Slowly, his lips descended upon hers.
