How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

At the same time, I couldn't help but ponder deeply and imagine the beauty in Ye Yueyue's words.

Yes, it would be great if they were in the same sect.

We can cultivate together then. Junior Sister Yue is also a sword cultivator, so we can go on training together.

Coming to his senses, Yu Wan couldn't help but sigh, forcing himself not to think about those unrealistic things.

[Junior Sister Yue, get some rest early]

【Oh. 】

A hint of boredom flashed across Ye Yueyue's eyes. Sure enough, it was still the Yu Wan she knew.

Someone who's good at conversation wouldn't say something like that.

Although it was meant to be caring, people get carried away with their fantasies, and when the other person says something as incredibly unpleasant as sleeping, it's really soothing to the stomach.

Yu Wan felt something was off about the answer, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he left it at that.

……

Songzhou City.

As the Lunar New Year approaches, lanterns are lit.

Even in the world of cultivation, decorations and lanterns are indispensable.

A strong festive atmosphere swept over, and none of the cultivators on the road wore smiles. People came and went on the streets, most of them walking in groups.

Ye Yueyue walked through the bustling street, amidst the crowds, but felt a sense of relaxation.

A smile played on her lips as she walked briskly.

The thought of meeting Yu Wan soon made Ye Yueyue even happier.

As she was walking, she suddenly bumped into someone. The two brushed past each other, and Ye Yueyue only felt a scent of cedar. The next second, Huanling Sha's voice rang in her mind.

[A contractable partner found!]

She turned around and saw a masked man who also looked up at her.

Their eyes met through the crowd.

The silver mask covered most of the man's face, revealing only a pair of indifferent eyes and a smooth chin.

His eyes were unreadable, his pupils were deep black, carrying a hint of intimidation, cool and aloof, yet sparkling like stars.

He was dressed entirely in black, making him inconspicuous in the night.

In just a moment, the other person looked away.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Ye Yueyue could no longer see him. She looked around at the crowd, but he was nowhere to be seen.

What a pity, she hasn't met him yet!

Ye Yueyue sighed and looked away.

She walked towards the place she had agreed to meet Yu Wan. When she arrived at the Moon Bridge, she couldn't find Yu Wan. Ye Yueyue took out her spiritual scroll and sent him a message.

[Senior Brother Yu, I've arrived. Where are you?]

Upon receiving the message, Yu Wan stopped and instinctively looked towards the bridge.

In the center of the bridge under the moonlight stood a girl in red. The moonlight poured down on her, gilding her with a layer of silver. Behind her were fiery red lanterns. She was backlit, and most of her face was covered in shadow, which made her bright and lively eyes shine even brighter.

As if sensing something, she turned her head to look over.

Her hair moved in the breeze, and the moment their eyes met, she smiled, her eyes curving like the crescent moon in the sky, sparkling and bright.

Even amidst a large crowd, she remained the most eye-catching presence.

Dressed in red, she resembled the blazing sun.

It dispelled the winter chill.

Several months later, when they met again, Yu Wan smiled and felt a surge of joy in her heart.

He strode over.

"Senior Brother Yu, it's been a long time." The girl smiled and looked at his face as she spoke softly.

Amidst the clamor and noise of the crowd, Yu Wan felt as if the whole world had quieted down.

It was as if everything around him had lost its color, and at this moment only Ye Yueyue was in front of him saying, "Long time no see."

A hint of a smile flickered in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Junior Sister Yue, Happy New Year!"

"Yes, with Senior Brother Yu's blessings, I will definitely be alright!"

They strolled along the bustling streets. Ye Yueyue looked around at the stalls with curiosity, and Yu Wan would buy anything she looked at.

After taking a bite of the candied hawthorn, Ye Yueyue's eyes lit up. She handed it to Yu Wan with an extremely natural expression, "Senior Brother Yu, this is delicious, you should try it too!"

Yu Wan lowered his eyes, looking at the glistening dot on the candied hawthorn.

"Don't you like it? But it's really delicious." Ye Yueyue looked at him with a puzzled expression and a look of great regret in her eyes.

"No."

Yu Wan took it, paused for a moment, and then ate it.

A sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth, and Yu Wan, who doesn't usually like sweets, found it surprisingly good.

"Senior Brother Yu, is it delicious? Is it delicious?"

Yu Wan looked up and saw the girl gazing at him expectantly.

A slight thought crossed his mind: "Delicious."

Upon receiving his reply, Ye Yueyue immediately smiled, "I'm glad you like it, Senior Brother Yu."

Her steps became much lighter as she continued browsing the surrounding stalls.

Yu Wan's gaze softened as he looked at her bouncing around, and he couldn't help but smile.

The New Year's Day festival was very lively. As the night grew darker, the crowds not only did not disperse, but actually increased.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Yueyue had disappeared.

Yu Wan's gaze swept across the crowd, his heart pounding. He anxiously searched his surroundings for that figure.

"Junior Sister Yue?"

“...Junior Sister Yue”.

Suddenly, Yu Wan heard a familiar voice, a little soft, and he tried hard to catch the call in the noisy environment.

"Senior Brother Yu!"

Following the sound, Yu Wan strode forward, pushing through the crowd, and finally spotted that familiar figure in the throng.

The girl looked at him with a look of surprise and delight, a hint of a smile in her eyes.

"Finally found you, Senior Brother Yu!"

"Ah."

"There are so many people here, I almost missed Senior Brother Yu, sob sob sob." The girl pouted, and her bright face wrinkled up.

It looks like a steamed bun.

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Yu Wan's face, and the corners of his mouth curled up. "Isn't this what we found?"

"Yes, all-powerful Senior Brother Yu!" Ye Yueyue gave him an affirmative smile.

"To prevent your lovely Junior Sister Yue from getting lost and never finding her way home, could you please keep an eye on me, Senior Brother Yu?"

Yu Wan looked up and saw the girl smiling and extending her hand to him.

When she smiled, a shallow dimple appeared on her cheek, captivating the heart.

A surge of emotion welled up inside him, and he spoke in a low voice.

"it is good."

The moment the words left his mouth, Yu Wan felt a delicate touch in his hand, cool and very soft.

Unlike the previous fleeting encounters, this was a different story.

This time it was a firm grip.

The two walked along the bustling street, and this time, no matter how crowded the crowds were, they were not separated.

Suddenly, the girl let go, and the soft touch vanished abruptly.

His heart felt empty and lost. Before Yu Wan could speak, the girl's nimble fingertips slipped into his palm and intertwined with his fingers.

"That's it! Hey, Senior Brother Yu, let's go take a look ahead!" Ye Yueyue's eyebrows curved into crescents, and her lively eyes became even more captivating.

Yu Wan was startled by her actions.

He followed Ye Yueyue's lead and walked forward, but his attention was focused on his hands, and he could no longer hear any other sounds around him.
