Ling Yuxuan quickly released the Beloved Child from his arms, shook his head vigorously, and suddenly leaped into the nearby Deep Pool.
When Ling Yuxuan emerged from the Deep Pool and returned to the hot spring, he saw Ziyan sitting by the edge of the pool, shyly looking down. He couldn't help but let out a loud laugh.
That wicked smile was like a blooming night-blooming cereus, enchanting and dazzling.
Seeing him laugh so evilly, Ziyan turned her back to him, her face flushed, even covering her ears with her hands.
She thought to herself: Men are really insatiable creatures. Fortunately, I managed to control the situation in time; otherwise, it would have been a big deal! But thinking about how he didn't force himself on me at the critical moment and even jumped into the icy Cold Pool instead was quite commendable.
In this ancient era where girls could marry at thirteen or fourteen, this guy really did take care of and protect her well.
With that thought, Ziyan secretly felt fortunate to have met such a good boy in this era.
Just as Ziyan was about to turn her head to sneak a peek at Ling Yuxuan, she heard him sneeze repeatedly.
Feeling a bit guilty, Ziyan's face turned as red as a sunset. She rubbed her nose and turned around to ask, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. However, you need to eat more in the future; that way, certain areas will naturally become fuller, which would—um!—be even more perfect."
Ling Yuxuan blinked his eyes, his expression even more charming, then couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle quietly.
"You—" Ziyan was speechless at that moment, pouting with her face flushed.
She inwardly cursed him: Bastard! It's not like I haven't developed fully yet!
So Ziyan looked up at Ling Yuxuan and couldn't help but angrily retort, "You can regret this."
Hearing Ziyan's sulky words, Ling Yuxuan realized he had gone too far with his joke and seemed to have hurt her little pride.
He immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking, casually putting on his long robe before walking back to the firewood pile. He struck a spark with a flint to ignite the wood, then sat on the oilcloth and picked up the already skinned snake that had been strung up, roasting it over the flames.
Before long, a faint aroma of meat wafted through the hot spring area.
Ziyan inhaled the scent of the meat lightly, and her stomach let out a series of "gurgling" sounds. However, recalling Ling Yuxuan's charming yet mocking expression, she had no intention of getting up from the pool.
She had already cursed Ling Yuxuan a million times in her heart, calling him a bastard and a scoundrel!
After a while, the snake meat was thoroughly cooked. Ling Yuxuan held a jar of Sweet Rice Wine in one hand and the roasted snake meat in the other as he quietly approached Ziyan and squatted down beside her.
In her anger, Ziyan did not look up, but the skewer of snake meat was already right in front of her nose. She turned her head to glance at Ling Yuxuan, who was now looking down with a submissive demeanor, blinking his eyes at her with longing.
Ziyan had no intention of forgiving him and immediately turned her head away.
"Come on, my little darling is a Heroine, with a heart as vast as the ocean and bluer than the sky. How could such a woman get angry over such a trivial joke from her husband?"
Seeing that Ziyan showed no signs of reconciliation, Ling Yuxuan for the first time in his life began to flatter this little girl in front of him.
Hearing his flattery, Ziyan couldn't help but laugh. Thinking back on her days of knowing Ling Yuxuan, she had always thought he was just stubborn, rigid, and somewhat introverted.
She never expected to see him so eloquent and smooth-talking today.
"Are you laughing? My little darling looks good when she smiles. Come on, eat it while it's hot. And there's this Sweet Rice Wine, just a little will warm you up."
As he said this, Ling Yuxuan suddenly felt an unbearable itch in his nose and turned his head to one side before starting to sneeze repeatedly—“Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!”
"Oh." Ziyan took the roasted snake meat from his hand and began to eat it heartily by the poolside without any hesitation.
Watching someone’s mood improve as they devoured the snake meat he had cooked for her, Ling Yuxuan couldn't help but smile happily. After Ziyan had eaten a few bites of meat, he opened the jar and offered her two sips of Sweet Rice Wine, then cautiously asked with an expression that seemed careful: "How is it? Is it good?"
Ziyan looked at his affected expression and chuckled softly, "Hmm, not bad! Alright, you should hurry over and drink some Sweet Rice Wine to warm yourself up."
"Yes—my wife commands!" After saying that, Ling Yuxuan hurriedly jogged back to the fire, picking up two skewers of fish, one in each hand, and started grilling them.
While grilling, he occasionally glanced over at Ziyan in the Hot Spring Pool, his gaze filled with tenderness and affection.
At this moment, Ziyan, still submerged in the warm spring water, was seriously nibbling on snake meat while occasionally shyly meeting Ling Yuxuan's deep and affectionate gaze.
Thus, the two of them exchanged glances, silently communicating their feelings with an unspoken understanding.
As time passed, Ziyan finished the snake meat and stood up from the Hot Spring Pool. Ling Yuxuan quickly set down the skewers he was grilling and jumped over to take her other hand, helping her out of the water.
He handed her clothes while turning around to return to the fire and resumed grilling the nearly cooked fish.
Before long, Ziyan, now dressed, stepped gracefully onto a rock on the other side of the fire and sat down. She watched the flames crackling brightly, occasionally hearing soft popping sounds as sparks flew around the fire.
The Night Breeze gently caressed them, and a Bright Moon hung in the sky, illuminating the entire land. It seemed as if another Bright Moon floated on the surface of the distant pool, casting a beam of light toward the sky.
From time to time, croaking sounds from frogs echoed around the Deep Pool and nearby grasslands. In the distance, the sound of water cascading from a spring continued without pause.
Ziyan couldn't help but close her eyes and listen to the lively night, breathing in the beautiful and fresh air that nature had bestowed upon them.
