After hesitating for a second, Gu Nian raised her hand and looked at the gold-rimmed glasses in her hand.
After looking it over, Gu Nian dropped her hand in relief——
On the other hand, Luo Xiu, who had taken off his glasses, could not see anything clearly after a certain distance. He was no different from an evil dragon whose claws had been pulled out, and he could no longer do evil.
After feeding herself the pills, she turned her head away from her bad thoughts and raised her head: “I’m done, let’s play hide and seek.”
Luo Xiu paused and said, “In the villa?”
“Um.”
“Shall I come to find you?”
“Of course not,” Gu Nian held back her petulance, “I am such a big living person, even if you don’t wear glasses, it will be too easy to find me.”
“What are we looking for?”
“Just–this.”
Gu Nian shook the trophy in her hand: gold-rimmed glasses.
After a second of silence, Luo Xiu on the sofa seemed to lower his eyes helplessly, “Okay.”
“…”
When Gu Nian was hesitating whether she was being a bit too bullying, she heard the person on the sofa say, “But I have conditions.”
“What conditions?”
“Once it’s hidden somewhere, it can’t change places again.”
Gu Nian frowned and nodded: “Okay, I’ll hide it within three minutes, and you’ll find it within one hour.”
Luo Xiu nodded.
Finally getting a chance to bully the evil dragon. Gu Nian was eager to give it a try: “Start now?”
“As you wish.”
Gu Nian, who was about to go upstairs, stopped and turned back blankly: “Do you have any more questions?”
The man on the sofa slowly straightened out the shirt that she had wrinkled before, his eyes drooped, and his voice was gentle: “Since it’s a game, whoever wins should get a reward?”
Gu Nian: “Huh?”
“Within one hour, if I find it, I win. If I don’t, you win.”
Gu Nian nodded: “That’s no problem. What reward do you want?”
“If you win,” Luo Xiu said gently, “I’ll let you do whatever you want.”
Gu Nian had no feeling of happiness at all, and her first reaction was to retreat faintly: “… And if you won.”
Luo Xiu smiled: “Do you have so little faith in yourself?”
“How come!”
This method of stimulating had always been tried and tested.
After Gu Nian finished speaking, she added: “I was just asking.”
Luo Xiu nodded, “Vice versa.”
Gu Nian choked.
Before she could think about it, the man on the sofa lowered his eyes and said in a soft voice, “Are you scared?”
“I… I’m not afraid. It’s not like I can’t see clearly.” Gu Nian lowered her head and glanced at the time on her watch, then quickly ran to the stairs, “The timer starts now, you can come find me in five minutes!”
“Okay,” Luo Xiu whispered, “run slowly.”
“——”
Half an hour later.
Gu Nian tilted her head and sat on the bean bag in the attic of the villa.
The ceiling of the attic was opened by her remote control, leaving only the glass skylight to protect against wind and cold. There were no clouds tonight, the moonlight was not too bright, and the stars were scattered in the night sky. It was a good time to watch the stars.
Pity……
Gu Nian turned around and looked behind her at the empty stairs. The evil dragon with its claws removed was probably still downstairs looking for his glasses.
Based on the progress he had made when she secretly observed him, he might be close to finishing the third floor now?
Gu Nian lowered her head and raised the hand that was hidden by his side. The gold-rimmed glasses that she had placed in the glasses case were lying peacefully beside her.
——The rules of the game said that once you hide it, you can’t change its position, but they didn’t say you couldn’t move the hiding place.
The hiding place was in her hands, and walking with her was not changing its position.
Gu Nian curled her lips.
After waiting for a while, she couldn’t help but push up her legs, as she rested her cheek on her knees. Gu Nian looked up at the night sky and yawned slowly.
She should have set the time limit as half an hour, now she was the only one seeing such beautiful stars at night. Wasn’t it a pity…
“Crack.”
“——!”
The sudden sound of footsteps on the stairs behind her made Gu Nian suddenly startle and straighten her waist.
A second later, she turned back and looked blankly at the man who was slowly walking up to the staircase, holding on to the handrail: “Did you find your glasses?”
“No.” He lowered his eyes, seeming a little disappointed. “Can’t find it.”
Gu Nian was relieved.
Taking advantage of the dimness of the attic where the lights were not turned on, Gu Nian carefully moved the glasses case towards Luo Xiu’s blind spot, “Well, why did you come up here? It’s not time yet.”
“I couldn’t find it, so I gave up.”
Luo Xiu’s voice was low and he came closer.
Gu Nian felt a little pain when she saw how he seemed to be walking slowly in the dark, having difficulty determining his route. She hesitated whether to get up and help him, but when she came to her senses, she found that he had already arrived in front of her.
Gu Nian stood up slowly and picked up the glasses case behind her. “Do you want to look around the attic floor first? I won’t delay you. Let’s go to the third floor first – woo!”
Caught off guard.
Gu Nian was thrown onto the bean bag.
After being shocked, Gu Nian came back to her senses and looked blankly at Luo Xiu, who had already taken the glasses case from her hand and was leaning on top of her. The original hurt and depression had long since faded away.
There was only a little restraint in the eyes that were close at hand, “…Found it.” His voice was low and hoarse.
Gu Nian ran in panic: “How did you know it was here with me?”
Gu Nian’s wrist was held when she had just stood up. Luo Xiu gently pulled it and buckled it to her side. The force of confinement was very gentle, just like when he leaned over to kiss the corner of her lips——
“You guess.”
Gu Nian was already in despair at this moment.
It was obviously a subtle and secretive movement, but he still noticed it in the first second. There was only one answer——
“You are not short-sighted at all!”
Luo Xiu raised his body slightly and couldn’t help but say in a hoarse voice: “I never concealed it. I thought you knew.”
“You always wear these glasses, and I don’t know what it feels like to be nearsighted,” Gu Nian cried. “If I had known, I wouldn’t have played this game of digging holes for myself.”
Luo Xiu couldn’t hide his joy: “Yes, I know.”
“…Those who don’t know are not guilty. Shouldn’t the punishment be forgotten?”
The man’s voice was gentle: “No. I’m willing to admit defeat.”
Gu Nian shed tears.
In a certain second, the kiss that fell came nearer and neaerer.
Gu Nian was shaken by Luo Xiu’s hand at her side. She turned her face to one side in confusion and saw some beautiful stars blinking in the night sky above her behind him, as if they were taking a peek at this punishment from the sky.
Gu Nian’s face turned red from being tortured by her dragon. She closed her eyes tightly and her voice trembled: “I——”
“Is it okay?” The man stopped next to her neck, he seemed to be gently touching her carotid artery with his voice, and his breath blended into her heart beating, as if he was taking her into a dream of night and wilderness. Here, he repeated in a low voice, “Can I, Nian Nian.”
The starry sky in front of Gu Nian’s eyes became blurry. The moon disk and stars were dotted in her field of vision, and they enveloped her like a halo.
She bit her lip and trembled softly.
“Okay.”
“…”
The moonlight at night was very beautiful, as beautiful as the night sky, while the horses galloped wildly among the undulating mountains, like the gentle and lingering time flowing on the mutton-fat jade.
