After that night, Liu Guang never heard the singing of the little phoenix again.
On the contrary, Tan You laid on the bed for two days, wrapped in a quilt and crying sadly.
It turned out that when he was getting handsy with Liu Guang under the influence of wine, although Liu Guang didn’t pull out his sword to kill him, he still kicked him into the yin encased water that night.
Of course the chilling yin in the water couldn’t harm Tan You, but he had such a rare opportunity, how could he let it go so easily? At that night, he wholeheartedly pretended to be miserable. Even after he returned to his room, he still held Liu Guang’s hand tightly.
Liu Guang knew he was acting, but he couldn’t just ignore him, so he had to sit down by the bed and take care of him, questioning his life.
Tan You was well versed in the means of getting an inch and taking a mile, so he took the opportunity to get closer to him and started talking about anything and everything. He had rich experience, so wanting to entertain Liu Guang, he kept talking eloquently, describing what he had seen and heard in the past vividly and emotionally.
Liu Guang listened quietly, nodding occasionally. He understood that Tan You was showing off, so he deliberately asked: “In this world… is there something that Second Highness doesn’t know?”
”Hm,” Tan You thought for a while and answered seriously, “It is, when will you fall in love with me?”
Liu Guang was startled for a moment, his face suddenly felt hot, and he immediately slapped his hand away.
Tan You wasn’t angry either. He just looked at him with a fiery gaze and said with a smile: “Oh, it seems that it will be a long wait until then.”
Liu Guang was silent for a while, then slowly turned his head away. After a long time, he softly uttered a few words: “I am not a strong-willed person, but one’s heart must be exchanged for another.”
Hearing this, Tan You’s eyes darkened slightly. It was rare that he didn’t say those sweet words. He just grabbed Liu Guang’s hand again and pressed it on his chest little by little.
Pounding heart.
The room was quiet except for the sound of two people’s heartbeats.
Then they jumped faster and faster, and gradually… overlapped each other.
The sky turns from bright to dark, and then from dark to bright again.
Liu Guang stayed by Tan You’s bed for two days, until the scoundrel was itchy all over his body and no longer had the ability to continue pretending to be sick, and he finally was freed.
However, Tan You refused to let him go easily. As soon as his body “healed”, he started dragging Liu Guang around. The scenery of Illusory Island was already rare. After enjoying them one by one, they went to look for those legendary immortal scenery. Everywhere they went, was an eye-opening scenery.
Unfortunately, Liu Guang was not very interested in this and mostly just brushed it off. What really moved him was a small and inconspicuous place — a coast, where you could see the boundless sea in the distance and the gorgeous clouds in the sky. It looked exactly the same as the illusion created by Liu Guang inside of his pearl.
Liu Guang was completely stunned after just one glance. He didn’t know how much effort Tan You spent to find such a place.
When it was time for Tan You to claim credit, he didn’t mention anything. He just held Liu Guang’s hand and asked with a smile, “How is the scenery here?”
It took Liu Guang a while to find his own voice: “It’s beautiful, but it’s not unique.”
”But you just like it.”
Tan You smiled slightly, held Liu Guang’s hand and walked forward. After a while, he sat down on a rock and listened to the sound of waves rushing and falling.
Liu Guang was a little lost in thought and asked in confusion: “How does Second Highness know…”
”Since this place appears in your fantasy, it must be very important. Am I so foolish to not see it?” Tan You pointed forward and asked, “How is it? Is it different from the East China Sea in your memory?”
Liu Guang nodded and shook his head, saying, “It’s been a thousand years.”
A thousand years ago, he was born in the East China Sea, rising and falling with the water.
A thousand years later, everything in the memory had long been blurred, and even the sound of the wind made one nostalgic.
He never dreamed that he would be able to visit his old place again.
Liu Guang closed his eyes and took in those familiar scenery, feeling extremely moved.
Tan You smiled at him from the side and said, “Such beautiful pearls can only be found in places like this.”
Liu Guang took a breath, came back to his senses, and immediately said: “Second Highness’ ability to tell lies with open eyes is getting better and better.”
Tan You was dissatisfied, held up the pearl tied around his waist, and said, “I speak from the bottom of my heart.”
After a pause, he sighed suddenly, and then said: “Since you were born in the East China Sea, how did you fall into Bai Qimeng’s hands later?”
His tone was dispirited and a bit jealous.
Liu Guang didn’t understand why Tan You was so concerned about his life experience. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke about those past events: “After I was born, I slept in this cold sea water for a long time, and gradually gained my own consciousness. Then one day, I was suddenly sent to the Dragon Palace as a treasure, and later transferred to the Heaven Realm. Five hundred years ago, Lord White Tiger made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion, and the Emperor of Heaven wanted to reward him with treasures, so he ordered someone to open the treasury gate and let him choose one thing.”
Tan You narrowed his eyes and suddenly squeezed Liu Guang’s hand: “In the end, he chose you?”
”Yes,” Liu Guang nodded, as if there was light flowing in his eyes, “At that time, there were so many rare and precious treasures piled together, each of which was thousands of times more powerful than me, but Lord White Tiger only chose me.”
Before he finished speaking, Tan You’s face darkened. He turned his head without warning and kissed Liu Guang’s lips suddenly.
This kiss was really rough, nibbling and biting, eager and hot, the lips and teeth were intertwined, as if they wanted to swallow the flow alive.
Liu Guang gasped unconsciously and said, “Second Highness, you want to be kicked into the water by me again?”
Tan You then stepped back a little, still holding Liu Guang’s hand tightly, with darkened eyes, and asked in a low voice: “If I were the one who met you first, would you fall in love with me?”
Liu Guang was stunned and immediately shook his head: “Impossible.”
”Liu Guang…”
”How could have Second Highness met me first?” Liu Guang pursed his lips, smiled slightly, his expression seemed both gentle and indifferent, as he said softly: “You have always had your eyes set high, and you would never choose me among so many treasures.”
”Maybe it wasn’t possible before, but it is possible now.” Tan You leaned over again, but did not act recklessly. Only his forehead touched Liu Guang’s, as he said softly, “Liu Guang, I have given you my heart.”
Liu Guang was caught off guard, looked deeply into his eyes, and suddenly felt his heart beating uncontrollably. The eyes were as gentle as water, gradually taking on a charming color that seemed to be able to absorb people’s souls.
Oh, how could all the beautiful scenery in this world compare to the scenery in those eyes?
