Wang Xiaoqiang slept until noon and, upon waking up, saw Liu Juyi sitting on the bed, her expression distant as if deep in thought, prompting him to ask, "Juyi, what are you thinking about?"

Liu Juyi felt somewhat awkward because she had just been wondering why that particular part of Wang Xiaoqiang's body remained erect while he was asleep.

She knew it was a filthy question, one she should not entertain, yet she couldn't control her own curiosity, because just moments ago, when she had realized that the protruding part was unique to men, she felt an inexplicable heat and loneliness, yearning for Wang Xiaoqiang to hold her, to kiss her, and even desiring him to want her…

At that thought, she gave herself a slap across the face and dared not continue down that line of thought.

She awkwardly looked up and said, "Thinking about nothing much?"

Wang Xiaoqiang sensed that Liu Juyi's emotions were off and asked, "Shall we go back to our hometown today? Would you prefer to fly or drive..."

"Let's drive, I don't want to return too early. If we get there early, there won't be anywhere to stay…" As soon as Liu Juyi thought about home, her heart filled with warmth but also resentment, because the Wang Family's home was no longer hers; she could not live there. And at her own family's home, her sister-in-law was unwelcoming, naturally not allowing a divorced woman to stay, since villages tend to believe that divorced women bring bad luck and misfortune, so nobody was willing to keep her.

"How can you say that? Our Wang Family's home is still your home, and you still live with my parents," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"That's not appropriate, people will talk," Liu Juyi replied.

"How about this, you can stay in one of my two villas in River City, and then on New Year's Eve, I'll bring you home to celebrate the holidays together?"

Liu Juyi thought for a moment, sighed, and agreed, "Okay, then."

"Well then, shall I buy plane tickets now…?" Wang Xiaoqiang suggested.

"Still, let's take the car," Liu Juyi really didn't want to go back too early, as staying alone in the River City villa felt too bleak.

"Then, how about I fly you back?" Wang Xiaoqiang offered.

Thinking about the splendid sensation of Wang Xiaoqiang holding her and flying through the sky, Liu Juyi felt a thrill of anticipation and nodded, "Okay."

"But it can't be during the day, let's wait for night. Oh, and let's sleep more during the day, so we won't be tired tonight," Wang Xiaoqiang said, then added, "I'll go buy us some food to eat."

After Wang Xiaoqiang bought some food and they ate, they each lay on their own bed to sleep. Liu Juyi couldn't fall asleep and just watched Wang Xiaoqiang sleep.

Their beds were less than a meter apart, but to Liu Juyi, it felt like an insurmountable gulf that she could never cross.

Considering this, a wave of melancholy swept over her, and her face showed her sadness. Perhaps only she knew that during those two years of daily interaction, she had fallen for Wang Xiaoqiang. Yet, she could only bury these feelings deep within her heart.

"Hu hu." Wang Xiaoqiang began to snore, soundly asleep again.

Liu Juyi stole a glance at Wang Xiaoqiang and, seeing him deeply asleep, focused on his face, feeling more and more affection because of her fondness for him, unrelated to his handsomeness.

It was the kind of affection that builds up from spending a long time together, growing deeper and deeper, impossible to extricate oneself from.

Watching Wang Xiaoqiang sleep soundly, Liu Juyi suddenly felt an urge to touch his face.

So, she cautiously got out of bed, walked to Wang Xiaoqiang's bedside, and with a trembling hand, reached out and delicately touched his forehead, then glided down, touching his prominent nose, and finally, her fingers reached his lips…

The instant Liu Juyi's fingers touched Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth, she heard a soft sound; her finger had been sucked by Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth.

To be precise, it had been kissed.

Ah~

Liu Juyi's heart fluttered, her hand shook, and she quickly withdrew her finger.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang opened his eyes and caught her hand, looking at the flustered Liu Juyi and teasingly asked, "Aju, what were you trying to do?"

Liu Juyi's face turned beet red with embarrassment, feeling completely out of sorts. She struggled to pull her hand away but couldn't break free.

Wang Xiaoqiang brought Liu Juyi's hand to his mouth and kissed her fragrant finger.

Liu Juyi's beautiful eyes widened in shock, having not expected Wang Xiaoqiang to kiss her fingers. The impact on her was immense, leaving her with a muddled mix of sweetness and bitterness, surprise and nervousness, an utmost complexity.

Seeing Liu Juyi so embarrassed that her face was flushed red, Wang Xiaoqiang let go of her hand and confessed, "Aju, actually, I like you too."

"What are you saying, Little Qiang? I don't understand," Little Ju Yi was utterly astounded. Compared to Wang Xiaoqiang's kiss, his confession had an even greater impact on her. Those words, "I like you too," rang in her head like a spell, striking her heart over and over, bringing both sweetness and a sense of alarm.

After all, they used to be in a nephew and aunt relationship.

"You don't need to be afraid, Aju. Now that you and my brother have ended your engagement, you're a free person. Between us, there is no longer a nephew and aunt relationship, so don't have any hesitations… If you like me, you can say it…"

"Little Qiang, I don't know what you're talking about. Please stop talking," Liu Juyi suddenly covered her ears, her thoughts too outdated and stubborn to accept such a reality.

Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly went up to her and embraced her. "What exactly are you afraid of? Just say if you like..."

Speaking, Wang Xiaoqiang kissed Liu Juyi on the face.

Liu Juyi's delicate body trembled, then she violently broke free from Wang Xiaoqiang, and run to her own bed, pulling the quilt over herself.

Wang Xiaoqiang sighed, laid down, and went back to sleep.

He slept until at night when he opened his eyes to see Liu Juyi standing in front of the window, her eyes misty, her face seemingly still stained with tear marks, as if she had just been crying.

"Aju, you've been crying," Wang Xiaoqiang got out of bed, walked behind her, stretched out his hands, caressed her fragrant shoulders, and said softly.

Suddenly, Liu Juyi turned around, threw herself into Wang Xiaoqiang's arms, and kept hitting his back with her fists, "Why did I meet you when I was already married, and why were you married when I got divorced... Why is fate so unfair..."

"But, Aju, are you not right here with me? At least now, we, are holding each other," Wang Xiaoqiang caressed her back and comforted her.

Liu Juyi hugged Wang Xiaoqiang tightly, wishing they could merge into one.

Wang Xiaoqiang carried Liu Juyi to bed and kissed her. Liu Juyi didn't refuse. Wang Xiaoqiang kissed her lips, soft and fragrant, intoxicating him.

But when Wang Xiaoqiang's hand moved toward her chest, Liu Juyi grabbed his hand, "Little Qiang, let's not do that..."

Wang Xiaoqiang paused for a moment, then said, "Hmm, we won't do it, I'm just touching."

Liu Juyi let go of his hand, allowing him to touch her.

He just touched there, and did not make any further moves. If Liu Juyi didn't agree, he wouldn't force her.

So, the two of them embraced until the sky grew dark. Then Wang Xiaoqiang left the room, found a secluded spot, and under the cover of night, directly carried Liu Juyi up into the sky.

When they arrived at a small town, considering that Liu Juyi hadn't eaten all day and he himself had been hungry for a day, they decided to have dinner in the town before moving on.

The two didn't even check the name of the town and simply walked into it.

The scenery of the small town was beautiful.

Everywhere there were lights.

The lights were the protagonists of this long night. On the streets, streetlights emitted dazzling lights, draping the town's stage in a layer of golden garment, while the neon lights along the road, reminiscent of rainbow ribbons, added even more flair to what was already a resplendent stage. The lights in high buildings also refused to be outdone, completely enshrouding the stage in brilliance, shimmering like a sparkling bright pearl.

The streets were bustling. Unconsciously, vehicles had filled the road sides. Along the streets, there were vendors selling fruits, snacks, and small pets... Their stands were surrounded by crowds, attracting numerous customers. On the sidewalk, the trees swayed in the wind, rustling as if enjoying themselves. Little dogs were frisky, jumping around as if cheering for someone. The sidewalks, too, bustled with people carrying bags big and small, making it packed to the seams.

The square was even more packed with people: some were dancing with graceful steps, like angels; some were doing evening exercises, displaying athletic figures as if they were champions who had frequently won gold medals; some were playing and chasing each other, innocent and cute.

The small town at night was even more serene. Through the thin clouds, moonlight fell on the roads, taking over from the lights of thousands of homes. Inside windows, the flickering lights gradually went out one by one. The fluorescent lights inside shops, the neon signs above store names, were also about to be turned off. Cars stopped, people were fewer, and almost everyone had returned to their homes. The trees on the roadside ceased rustling, the "rustle-rustle" of the leaves was gone. The entire town was enveloped in a thin mist, adding a unique sense of mystery. Peace settled, everything fell silent, sinking into tranquility...

"Heh, this place is really nice," Liu Ju sighed, then linked her arm through Wang Xiaoqiang's. For her, being with the person she loved, it didn't matter where they were, it was all good.

"What would you like to eat?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked.

"Let's have cold noodles, fried cold noodles," Liu Juyi pointed to a cold noodle stand.

"Alright then."

So, the two of them had cold noodles. Then they held hands and played in the square for a while before they went to a deserted place and flew into the sky, heading home.

Seeing that Liu Juyi couldn't withstand the fierce wind, Wang Xiaoqiang conjured up the Spirit Spring Flying Boat, and they both sat down.

In the dead of night, they arrived in River City.

As a second-tier city in the nation, River City was also a city that never sleeps. Although it was already late into the night, it was brightly lit, with shining neon lights on the streets. Viewed from the sky, it was a vista of grandeur and brilliance.

The two directly descended to the Riverside Villa in River City.

That night, the two of them stayed at the villa.

Riverside Villa was large, with two floors. After resting for a while, Wang Xiaoqiang arranged a master bedroom on the second floor for Liu Juyi, then as he was about to go downstairs to sleep, Liu Juyi suddenly grabbed his hand, "Little Qiang, stay with me."
