How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hong Li took a deep breath, laughed in exasperation, and waved her hand: "Alright, alright, I can't be bothered to argue with you."

"As you know, I possess nothing but wisdom!"

Hongli pointed to her clever head and said, "How could someone as wise as me be so easily fooled!"

"Ha, don't think I'm stupid just because I play along with your lies all the time."

Hongli chuckled and said confidently, "I pretended to be fooled to make you happy, but I saw through your scheme at a glance!"

"Haha, if you insist on deceiving yourself like this, then I have nothing more to say."

"Is there a possibility..."

Hongli said softly, "Perhaps what I said is true?"

"Is there any possibility..."

Hei Yang snorted and said, "Hei Yang knows that Hong Li knows he is lying, and he also knows that she is pretending not to understand."

So they did the opposite, turning the tables on Hongli, pretending not to see through her scheme, and thus achieving their ultimate goal.

"No nesting dolls allowed."

Hongli makes a cross shape with her hands.

"Alright, alright, let's think about whether there's anything else we haven't resolved yet?"

Hei Yang turned to look at Hong Li, frowning as he said, "It seems that almost everything has been arranged?"

"Hiss! That means..."

Hongli gasped, a sudden sense of urgency and tension rising within her for some reason: "Everything is ready? Just waiting for the wedding?"

"like……"

Hei Yang placed his hands on his lap and said in a low voice, "Is that so?"

"Has this finally come to this...?"

Hongli looked at Heiyang, pursed her lips, and whispered, "Heiyang, to be honest, I'm a little nervous."

"Weren't you mentally prepared?"

Hei Yang reached out and took Hong Li's small hand, asking gently.

"No, no, I've already prepared myself mentally!"

Hongli gripped Heiyang's hand tightly, looking at him earnestly: "Don't underestimate my determination, you bastard Heiyang!"

"Then why are you nervous?"

Hei Yang asked.

"Because, because I don't know exactly why..."

Hongli stammered, "But, but Mom said this is the most important time in a girl's life! The most important time!"

"Well, for me..."

Hei Yang looked at Hong Li and said seriously, "This is also the most important time of your life."

"You're not kidding me, are you...?"

"Do not lie to you."

"Ah."

Hongli nodded and smiled faintly.

"..."

"..."

"Damn it, no way!"

Hongli suddenly deflated and said sadly, "But I'm still nervous!"

"That's true. No matter how much you try to comfort yourself, you'll feel uneasy until that moment comes."

Hei Yang pulled Hong Li's hand and stood up. He turned to look at the Five-Colored City that had given them birth and raised them, and said with a smile, "Come on, let's go for a walk and maybe we'll feel better."

"Um! Wait a minute..."

Hongli suddenly stood on tiptoe and reached out her hand, straightening Heiyang's collar under his stunned gaze.

"Okay!"

The girl smiled brightly, took her sweetheart's hand, and led the way, saying, "Let's go, let's go!"

"Well……"

Hei Yang, led by Hong Li, walked out the gate. Coming back to his senses, he smiled and said, "Let's go!"

…………

"To clear your mind..."

Hongli looked around and said, "Let me see where Xiaohuo and the others went to play..."

"No."

Hei Yang suddenly spoke up.

"what?"

Hong Li looked puzzled.

"I'm not going to see them."

Hei Yang pouted and muttered, "It was agreed that it would just be the two of us."

"Pfft hahaha..."

Hong Li couldn't help but laugh when she saw Hei Yang's resentful expression. She floated up slightly and patted Hei Yang's head.

"Okay, okay, that's enough for just the two of us."

"Ah."

Hei Yang nodded vigorously and walked with Hong Li through this small town that they knew all too well.

Their footprints are left in almost every place here. Just coming to a familiar corner is like seeing the two figures from the past.

"There's no need for anything thrilling or adventurous."

Hongli said softly, "We have our own story, it's just about two children growing up together."

They returned to the place where they first truly met, and nothing had changed in the maple forest more than a decade later.

It's just that back then it was a fiery, passionate red, and now it's a tranquil, breezy green.

"Hey bro, what are you doing? Hehe!"

Hongli patted Heiyang and teased, "Can I see what you wrote?"

That was the first sentence.

Well, although Hongli always says that Heiyang has wanted to kidnap her since she was a child, she was actually the one who took the initiative to say the first words to Heiyang.

They arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Except during the most scenic seasons when it gets crowded, it's their favorite spot for slacking off at other times.

"No, I feel like I can't stay here any longer."

Hei Yang dragged Hong Li away, saying, "I feel like if we stay any longer, I'll just lie there and turn into a lazy dog."

"why not?"

Hong Li's words were like a wake-up call.

"Absolutely!"

Hei Yang clapped his hands, suddenly realizing what was going on.

The two of them lay in the pavilion in the middle of the lake for the whole morning.

The two didn't leave until lunchtime. They had originally planned to grab something to eat on the street, but suddenly decided to check out their own restaurant.

Let's see how the food prepared by the elderly folks is. We still have some time to try it out beforehand, and if it's not to our liking, we can make changes.

Of course, Hei Yang Hongli felt that her parents must have already worried about this for them.

They came here mainly to see if they could get a free meal.

"Is anyone here?"

Hei Yang Hongli peeked out cautiously: "Uncle Li? Uncle Zhang?"

"Hey, there are quite a few masters and young mistresses here."

Zhang San, who was holding an abacus at the counter, spotted the two of them at a glance and greeted them with a cheerful smile.

"You two are rare guests; it's been quite a while since we've seen you."

"Ah this..."

Hei Yang and Hong Li exchanged a glance, then scratched their heads with an embarrassed smile and said, "Well, I'm mainly busy with family matters, um, quite busy."

We have a ton of work waiting for us, and the kids are naughty and need watching over them. It's only with great difficulty that we managed to squeeze in some time to come and check on things!
