Chapter 1154 - A Special Person? (1/2)

Xin Lan grabbed his waist, his fingers brushing over the robe that couldn't quite conceal the heat of his skin and his expression turned a little subtle. ”Back then … What did you expect me to do?

”You were but a child. As I said, I don't like children. Even if I did, I certainly wouldn't like them that way. Promising to marry you … To be honest, I really wanted to get rid of you. As for why I came back …” He kept quiet for a moment but then looked up into Hua Lin Yu's eyes. ”Maybe I felt that there is some kind of fate between us.

”That might not be the explanation you want to hear but still, it's the truth. There's something between us that seems predestined.” He smiled faintly at that, thinking how it was funny just how true this was. Anyway, it wasn't a bad thing to say, most likely.

He reached up, one hand grabbing Hua Lin Yu's chin, and then leaned in to give him a kiss. He pondered for a moment, wondering how to explain it any better since Hua Lin Yu had no idea about what he had sworn back in the High Heavens. He couldn't tell him the truth either or he might get into the kind of stupid situation Qiu Ling had found himself in. Thus, the only thing he had to argue with were the things that had happened in the mortal realm.

”You see, you were definitely a child that liked to cling to other people. But you especially liked to cling to me even though I wasn't part of your family. It might not seem like much but when thinking about it a little further, then don't you feel that there might be something more to that? Just what was it that drew you to me like that?

”I don't think that I fully understand but the longer I thought about it, the more I felt that there might be a deeper meaning behind that. Maybe that was wrong. Maybe this between us will not even work out but I actually feel that we are quite compatible.” He leaned closer again, his lips brushing Hua Lin Yu's skin.

He might've promised to wait until they returned from the dragon realm but if an opportunity presented itself to get a little closer, he definitely wouldn't say no. Anyway, as long as there wasn't a witness, they couldn't be called married yet. They could just have some fun before that.

Unfortunately for him, Hua Lin Yu leaned away after a moment, giving him a scrutinizing look. ”Are you telling the truth?”

Xin Lan gave another hum, his hands brushing over Hua Lin Yu's back. ”But of course. Why would I lie to you? Anyway, you've noticed that promising you just like that would be strange. And do you see any other explanation?”

Hua Lin Yu slightly furrowed his brows. Indeed. He couldn't think of anything else. And there was some merit to what Xin Lan was saying. Maybe … this really was the truth. Anyway, Xin Lan had no reason to lie to him. And actually, he liked this explanation quite a lot. If there really was some predestined fate between them, then wouldn't that be great? It had to mean that they would be happy forever with each other.

He hugged Xin Lan, feeling for a moment that it was really asking quite a lot to wait until they came back from the dragon realm before they got married. ”Well, I'm really glad that you came back for me. I wouldn't have known where to search for you.”

”Well, you don't need to worry about that anymore.” Xin Lan cupped his cheeks and then leaned down, kissing him again. Anyway, Hua Lin Rong should be busy for some time looking around his own room and might even start trying to cultivate. They would have quite some time to themselves.
