"On a whim, I couldn't resist playing the flute. Since I can't sleep anyway, I'll play you some beautiful songs."

After saying this, Tang Yu took out a flute from his spatial storage and began to play it.

She couldn't actually remember the names of many of the songs, only the tunes.

Hua Manlou listened to some lingering, nostalgic tunes, and then some cheerful ones.

For a moment, he couldn't figure out what the person next to him was thinking.

“I’ve never asked Yu’er about her past, but now I suddenly feel that way.”

Does Yu'er sometimes feel lonely? It seems she has people and things she misses.

Tang Yu did not answer the question immediately, but turned to the side and leaned close to the other person's lips, then gave them a light peck.

"It is human nature to cherish the good old days, but for me, cherishing the present and looking forward to the future is what I have always been trying to do."

Beauty is everywhere in life. I've learned to stop dwelling on the past and instead enjoy the present.

These words put Hua Manlou at ease. The two embraced, feeling the night breeze, and fell asleep again without realizing it.

When dawn broke, Hua Manlou was the first to notice that the sun had begun to rise slowly in the distance.

Chapter 16 Flower-Filled Pavilion 16

"Yu'er, the sun has risen!"

Tang Yu opened her eyes groggily and was greeted by the magnificent and breathtaking scene before her.

Watching the sunrise from the mountaintop is a breathtaking and incredibly beautiful experience. Above layers of clouds, a red sun slowly rises, initially appearing as just a faint halo.

Gradually, the light grew stronger, as if it were about to ignite the entire sea of ​​clouds. The golden radiance spread outwards, dyeing the layered clouds a brilliant orange-red and golden yellow.

At this moment, the entire world was enveloped in this dazzling light, making people feel as if they were in a dreamlike fairyland.

Tang Yu felt as if her body and mind had merged with the light, as if she were about to break free from the shackles of the mortal world and fly towards the boundless sky.

"I really feel like I want to ride the wind and return home!"

Hua Manlou was also deeply moved at this moment. Such beauty touched people's hearts. The magnificence of nature always makes people feel the wonder of life and the vastness of the universe without them realizing it.

Sunlight filters through the clouds, casting golden rays upon the rolling mountains, creating a breathtaking scene where the golden light intermingles with the emerald green foliage.

Every inch of land and every leaf appeared exceptionally vibrant and lively under this light, as if they had been given life.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and flowers, which was invigorating.

Hua Manlou took a deep breath, feeling his whole being cleansed by this purity, and his soul found unprecedented peace.

He closed his eyes, and all he could hear were the subtle yet harmonious sounds of nature—birds singing merrily, insects fluttering their wings, and flower buds opening… everything was so pure and beautiful!

After the two returned to the carriage from the mountain, Hua Manlou couldn't help but say something like this.

"I'd like to stay a while after we go to the next city."

"doing what?"

"I want to paint a picture to capture the beauty of nature. Although I can't fully depict it, I can still keep it as a memento."

These words made Tang Yu burst out laughing. If she had a cell phone, she would have already taken out her phone and started snapping pictures.

"What is Yu'er laughing at?"

"Do you believe that in the future there will be something that allows people thousands of miles apart to communicate simultaneously and then create a painting in a second, truly recording the scene before their eyes?"

Although it may be hard to imagine, Hua Manlou's vision for the future has always been beautiful.

"People in the past ate raw meat and drank blood, but people today live in houses and eat hot food. The future will surely be better."

However, I think the feeling of painting myself is different, and I believe there will still be people in the future who enjoy painting.

That's true; taking photos and painting are fundamentally different.

"We've known each other for so long, why haven't you thought of painting a picture for me?"

The two sat inside the carriage, and Hua Manlou couldn't help but hug the other person, then chuckled and kissed their forehead.

"Last time you got drunk from drinking osmanthus wine and lay on the chair, didn't I ask for your opinion and draw a picture then?"

What? How come she can't remember this? Tang Yu suddenly raised her head.

"How come I don't remember? Besides, why didn't you show me what you finished drawing!"

These words made Hua Manlou blush, because the painting was filled with so much emotion that no one dared to show it.

"Why aren't you answering? There's something wrong with your expression."

Tang Yu couldn't help but chuckle and move closer to the other person. Hua Manlou started to back away, and Tang Yu directly cornered the other person in the carriage.

"Hua Manlou, you actually have a time when you're too scared to answer? Tell me, what did you draw about me in the painting? You're too scared to say anything."

Helpless, Hua Manlou could only step forward and kiss the other's cheek, then whisper gently in Tang Yu's ear to explain.

"Because I included myself in the drawing, and incorporated my thoughts and ideas into it..."

In that painting, a beautiful woman is sleeping under the flowers, while someone turns to gently kiss her forehead.

This was something Hua Manlou added himself; it was something he wanted to do at the time.

Chapter 17 Flower-Filled Pavilion 17

After Tang Yu pressed her for the truth, she let out a suppressed laugh.

"You're actually embarrassed about this?"

“I am often too presumptuous in front of you, and you have always indulged me.”

I often think that although the days before were also wonderful, it was only after I met you that the world truly gained color.

For the rest of my life, I only wish to hold your hand and walk through the years.

"When couples say these kinds of things, they usually can't help but be affectionate with each other."

These words made Hua Manlou laugh.

"But I hope Yu'er will take the initiative today."

"You want to take advantage of my favor and become arrogant?"

Hua Manlou was amused and kissed the person in front of him on the cheek, then leaned close to Tang Yu's ear and chuckled softly.

"They must have become so favored that they took it for granted."

"I think I said that somewhere before. Are you copying me?"

"Yes, because I think what Yu'er said makes a lot of sense, so I couldn't help but keep it in mind."

"Alright, I'll favor you this time!"

These words brought a smile to Hua Manlou's face. Tang Yu took out peach blossom wine from his spatial storage and poured a cup for each of them.

"Today I'll show you a painting of a beautiful woman drunk."

After drinking, the surrounding air seemed to be shrouded in a layer of ambiguous and hazy gauze. The two leaned against each other, occasionally pouring each other a glass of wine.

Hua Manlou's hand couldn't help but gently caress Tang Yu's forehead, then tenderly landed on his brow, leaving a soft kiss.

"I regret setting the wedding date for next year."

Her gentle, deep voice carried a hint of resentment. Tang Yu was slightly tipsy, her eyes filled with an intoxicating allure. Her beautiful eyes gazed at people with such clarity and purity that they could make one's heart succumb.

"So you want to move the wedding date forward? I'm afraid it's too late."

Tang Yu's hazy thoughts made her reason unclear. Hua Manlou could no longer restrain himself and slowly moved his fingertips down to gently caress those cherry-red lips.

"Yu'er has truly painted a picture of a beauty drunk on wine. With such a sight, Yu'er, have you perhaps overestimated my self-control?"

After speaking, Hua Manlou bent down again and gently bit those alluring lips, his voice filled with annoyance.

"I shouldn't have agreed to your proposal in the first place and postponed the wedding until next year."

Tang Yu hummed a few times. At this moment, her body was weak and powerless, and she felt confused. All she wanted to do was tease the person in front of her.

"You don't understand. You need to do some research before marriage. It's said that to see if a couple is suitable to be together, they can take a trip before marriage."

If people can live in harmony, they can likely be happy for life; if they quarrel and argue, it's best to separate.

These words made Hua Manlou chuckle softly. He hugged the person in front of him tightly and then gently bit his earlobe.

Tang Yu's body trembled slightly. Hua Manlou whispered in her ear.

"Does Yu'er mean that if she feels it's not right, she plans to leave me in the future?"

Tang Yu felt the warm breath on her ear, both intimate and irritating. Although she was intoxicated by the alcohol, she was also vaguely aware of the danger at this moment.

So Tang Yu subconsciously hugged the other person and started to whine and act coquettishly.

"How could you believe that? I was just kidding you."

Hua Manlou gave it another light bite, then placed a burning kiss on the nape of her neck.

"Little liar."

Later, Tang Yu didn't know when she fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she was already asleep in the inn, which meant they had already arrived in the city.

After Tang Yu got up, she found Hua Manlou painting in the distance.

“I often wonder, how were you able to learn things like chess and painting even when you couldn’t see? It’s really amazing.”

Hua Manlou pulled the person in front of him to sit down next to him, and then answered the question with a smile.

"The world of the blind has a different sense; things in this world can generally be done well if you do them with your heart."
