Liu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his hands and feet were weak, and all the strength in his body had disappeared, as if he was drunk.
Could it be that he was also intoxicated by someone?
Or maybe he was too tired and can’t help but indulge in the moment?
Tan You, on the other hand, gave it up as soon as he felt good. After kissing Liu Guang’s cheek, he immediately stepped away and said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it. I will prove it to you.”
How does he plan to prove it?
Take out your heart and give it to him?
Liu Guang knew that Second Highness was full of tricks, and for a moment he really couldn’t guess what would happen to him. He only felt his head was beginning to hurt.
Tan You looked at him with a smile and started chatting, mostly asking about Liu Guang.
Liu Guang had never mentioned those past events to anyone, but now that he actually spoke them out, he realized how lonely he had been. Sleeping in the cold seabed, waiting day after day, not knowing when he would see the light…
That is why he fell in love with Bai Qimeng at first sight, right?
Liu Guang and Tan You were rarely at peace with each other. They sat side by side on the beach for a long time. It was not until the sky turned completely dark that they returned to Illusionary Island to rest.
That night, Liu Guang kept dreaming.
He dreamed that he was back in the cold water, sea water rushing with the current past him, and the darkness was surrounding him. Such a dream was not scary, but it was the same scene over and over again, making him feel cold all over and eager to get away.
Then a deep voice sounded in my ears, and someone called softly: “Liu Guang.”
Liu Guang opened his eyes suddenly, dazed by the dazzling sunlight, and then he saw a person sitting next to his bed — the person’s features were blurry, and their face was not clear at first, but as they gradually got closer, a picturesque face came to light, donning a smile that felt unreal.
For a moment, he almost forgot what time it was.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and responded in a hoarse voice: “Second Highness.”
”You’re finally awake.” Tan You was in a good mood. He fiddled with Liu Guang’s hair and said with a smile, “I have something to show you.”
”So early?”
”Ahem,” Tan You lowered his head and coughed twice, his expression unnatural, “I didn’t sleep last night.”
Even so, he seemed to be in good spirits, with bright eyes. He smiled and stretched out his hand towards Liu Guang, eager to take him to see something mysterious.
Liu Guang’s was dazed, then he suddenly felt that something in his heart softened, and he couldn’t help but hold the hand.
Tan You immediately showed a charming smile and said softly: “You are sure to like it.”
Liu Guang remained silent, only to feel his heart beating faster again. He quickly turned away, got dressed in a hurry, and followed Tan You out of the room.
The place they wanted to go was not far away. After walking along the long corridor for a while, they stopped in front of a certain room. Tan You pushed open the door and stepped in first, followed closely by Liu Guang, but he was almost blinded by the things in the room.
The room was neither big nor small. It was quite empty and had no furnishings, but it was filled with pearls!
The round white jade-like pearls were grouped together, shimmering under the sunlight. It made a very touching scenery.
Liu Guang was stunned.
”What is your meaning, Second Highness?”
”It’s for you.”
”…”
Liu Guang was so stunned that he was completely speechless.
Tan You raised his hand to pinch his cheek and said, “Just kidding, this is not what I really want you to see.”
After finishing speaking, he raised his hand slightly, took off the pearl that he had always worn on his waist, brought it to his lips and kissed it, and then slowly closed his eyes.
The next moment, the pearls in the entire room floated, spinning rapidly around Liu Guang as if pulled by some force. And the one in Tan You’s hand naturally escaped from his control, flying away in some direction, and was instantly mixed into the piles of pearls, making it impossible to distinguish it from others.
It wasn’t until Tan You opened his eyes again that this strange phenomenon finally stopped, but the pearls still stayed in mid-air, floating up and down, almost filling the entire room.
Liu Guang was so shocked that he just stared blankly at the bright pearls all over the room. He vaguely guessed Tan You’s thoughts and blurted out: “Second Highness, could it be that you…”
”Shh,” Tan You put his index finger on his lips and smiled, “It’s enough for you to just watch.”
As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back, took a confident step forward, and raised his eyes to look around.
Although the pearls varied in size, they were now mixed together and floating in the air, making it impossible to tell the difference. Tan You, with a smile on his face, searched through them one by one, his expression extremely focused.
At this moment, how could Liu Guang not understand what Tan You meant?
This behavior was really unbelievable, almost ridiculous, but Liu Guang couldn’t laugh. Instead, he felt a loud noise in his chest, and his own heartbeat was pounding in his ears.
He stood quietly, watching Tan You walking around the room, stroking each pearl with his slender fingers, his smiling face always looking calm and composed.
Everything in the room seemed to stand still.
Time became very blurry, as if a lifetime had passed, and yet it seemed like it was only a short moment.
Finally, when Tan You’s fingers touched a certain pearl, his fingertips suddenly trembled, and an emotion appeared in his deep black eyes. He immediately closed his palms and firmly held the inconspicuous pearl in his hand, then turned back to look at Liu Guang, with a gentle smile on his lips.
Liu Guang felt like in a dream.
All the colors in the world disappeared, and only Tan You’s figure was reflected in his eyes. He watched him walking towards him step by step, slowly spreading his palms.
The radiant pearl was lying there, spinning, very beautiful.
But what was even more bewitching was Tan You’s smile.
He looked at Liu Guang with a smile, his head tilted slightly, and there was a bit of mischievousness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, as he said word by word: “No matter how many unique treasures there are, I can always recognize you at a glance.”
