ar view of the weather. Lush greenery surrounded one cozy wooden armchair after another, creating a fresh and comfortable atmosphere. At the far end of the hall, a shimmering silver pool was adorned w...Lian Xing'er nodded again, only to feel her face getting closer and closer to his, so close that she could smell the faint scent of vanilla on him.

The next second, Ming Sihan blurted out, "Xing'er, I like you."

At that moment, both Xing'er's body and mind froze.

"I think I'm such an idiot! As soon as you said you didn't want to break off our engagement, I should have known you were falling for me, right" Ming Sihan asked without hesitation.

Perhaps, this isn't really an issue at all.

Because, he already had the answer in his heart.

Lian Xing'er widened her eyes, her chest feeling like a little deer was thumping wildly inside.

Ming Sihan looked at her shocked expression, a smile of happiness playing at the corner of his mouth. He tilted his head slightly and kissed her lips directly.

Her lips were as sweet as honey after she had just finished sucking on a lollipop.

After tasting the sweetness on her lips, Ming Sihan was unwilling to let her go.

Lian Xing'er’s mind was a blank at this moment.

This big, I've never been kissed by a boy this passionately before.

She kept her eyes wide open, and from the corner of her eye, she noticed that Ming Sihan's earlobes had turned completely red.

She didn't know how long he had kissed her for, but when he let go, she awkwardly said, "Lollipop...dropped."

Ming Sihan unconsciously glanced at it, the rainbow lollipop had really fallen onto the carpet inside the car.

"No worries, I'll go buy you another one later."

As he spoke, he bent down to pick up the dirty lollipop and tossed it into the car's trash can.

Lian Xing'er pursed her lips, her cheeks flushed, and she kept twisting the corner of her clothes nervously.

Ming Sihan seeing her state, reached out and pulled up her left hand, lovingly placing it beside his lips and gently kissing the back of her hand.

"Baby, hold on tight, I'm driving now."

He soothed her, and after letting go of her hand, he went to pull the handbrake.

After the car started moving, it became quiet inside.

Lian Xing'er covered her hot cheeks with both hands, watching out the car window, her heart unable to calm down for a long time.

After arriving at the destination, everyone unloaded the camping tents from the off-road vehicle and began setting them up.

While everyone else was busy, Ming Sihan made her sit alone with Xing'er and just watch.

Lianxing looked around and felt a sense of familiarity. She seemed to have been here before.

This area belonged to the suburbs of Linhai City. Ahead was a lake, and behind them was a grassy field where they had set up camp. Behind the field lay an endless expanse of primeval forest.

The forest is protected by a net, so the wild animals cannot get out and these people cannot get in.

Lian Xing'er couldn't sit still any longer. She walked up to Ming Sihan and said with a twinkle in her eyes, "How about I go gather some firewood"

"I've already arranged for someone to pick it up. Just sit here nicely and watch me pitch the tent." Ming Sihan smiled faintly, raised his hand, and affectionately stroked Lian Xing'er's nose bridge.

"But I think it's so boring!" Lian Xing'er pouted, saying with a dissatisfied face.

Ming Sihan smiled and finally nodded: “Then you go collect firewood! Don't run too far away.”

Lián Xīng'ěr made an "OK" hand gesture and ran to Gù Qiān Níng, wanting to invite her to go gather firewood together. However, Gù Qiān Níng's task was to prepare dinner with several other girls.

With no other choice, Xing'er had to go alone.

More than just her, there were two men and two women gathering firewood.

After Lianxing joined them, they walked along the edge of the forest together.

Ming Sihan was setting up his tent while also glancing at Lian Xing'er. Seeing that she was still picking up dry branches within his sight, he continued working with peace of mind.

Here, at Lian Xing'er's place, she unknowingly wandered into the forest. When she looked up, she saw a green protective net in front of her.

Beyond the protective netting, there were towering trees with birds chirping and insects buzzing.

And just then, two large oval leaves suddenly opened up on either side.

In the depths of the grass, two eyes glowed with gold.

"Lang An" Lian Xing'er subconsciously called out.

Suddenly, there was a whooshing sound by her ear. A black shadow darted out from the bushes and appeared right in front of her.

At the moment when Lian Xing'er widened her eyes, Lang An appeared before her across this protective net.

Lang An's face was scratched, and his clothes were ragged. His hair was disheveled, and there was a trace of gloom in his eyes.

"Lang An, what are you doing here Didn't you return to my grandfather's lab" Lian Xing'er asked in concern.

Lang An just silently watched her, not saying a word.

"Are you hungry If your tummy's rumbling, I'll give you some candy!" Lian Xing'er held the gathered firewood in one arm and pulled a lollipop out of her skirt pocket with the other. She stretched it through the gap in the guardrail and offered it to Lang An.

This candy was bought for her again on the way here by Ming Sihan.

Lang An lowered his gaze to look at Lian Xing'er's hand, and as he raised his eyes, he suddenly said, "You, come with me."

"What" Lian Xing'er was stunned.
