110 First Kill (1/2)

In the middle of the lake, light swishing sounds could be heard from a bamboo stick slowly being paddled through the calm water.

Since it was so dark out, the people on the boat could see the moon and stars beautifully reflecting off of the ink-black lake.

Li Lian dipped her hand in the water leaving a ripples as the boat moved. She then comfortably laid back on Xiao Fang's shoulder before looking up at the stars.

”This is beautiful,” she said with a sparkle in her eye.

Xiao Fang put his hand on top of hers then she turned it over to hold his hand.

”I'm glad you like it, Lian'er”

Meanwhile, the man rowing the boat was growing furious.

'Enjoy it while it lasts, Da Long. Soon your woman will be mine.' The large man thought.

He thought he could keep his cool, but he was quickly growing impatient. A frown appeared on his face as he watched Xiao Fang hold Li Lian's hand. He couldn't help feeling as if Xiao Fang was touching his woman right in front of him.

Xiao Fang could guess what the man was thinking, so that made him laugh inwardly.

Xiao Fang brought his lips over to Li Lian's ear then whispered,

”Lian'er, it appears that you have an admirer.”

Li Lian knew what he was talking about since she noticed how much the man was staring at her.

”Are you jealous,” she teased Xiao Fang.

”Of course. How could he only stare at you when you have such a handsome husband sitting right next to you,” he said sarcastically.

Li Lian covered her mouth with her sleeve as she quietly laughed at his joke.

The rower looked at Xiao Fang furiously, but Xiao Fang didn't even spare him a glance. Even though he didn't hear what Xiao Fang said, he hated Xiao Fang's guts for making her laugh like that. At this point, anything Xiao Fang did, the rower would hate. He just couldn't wait to rip Xiao Fang to shreds.

Li Lian on the other hand eventually realized that she was laughing at Xiao Fang's joke. She was surprised. When was the last time she laughed like this with him. All this time, she envied watching Xiao Fang and Xun Wei always getting along so well, but finally she was the one having a good time with him. She wished this moment could last forever.

'So this is how it feels,' she thought.

Xiao Fang saw that Li Lian was smiling even more beautifully than usual, so he was a bit taken aback by it.

'It seems she's really enjoying herself tonight,' Xiao Fang thought. Strangely enough that also made him feel good. From now on, he wished he could see her this happy more often. He made it his personal goal to make her laugh and to tell her that he loved her at least once a day.

Just as Xiao Fang was starting to feel a certain way, his ears suddenly picked up something coming from the distance.

Xiao Fang sighed.
