Chapter 227 I’ll Give It to You If You Catch Me
Xinyang hugged Linghua tightly back, his face filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Shuili stood aside, dancing with excitement, her face full of smiles, clapping her hands non-stop, and shouting, "It's so sweet! This kind of love is so enviable, I must have such a beautiful relationship in the future! Hehe, shouldn't brother and sister-in-law kiss each other now? Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" As she shouted happily, people around her cast curious glances at her.
Shuili shouted more and more excitedly, not only her voice was louder, but she also led the applause. At this moment, Linghua's cheeks instantly turned a light blush.
Seeing this, Xinyang quickly freed one hand and made a subtle gesture towards Ganyu and Keqing beside him.
Ganyu and Keqing understood what she meant and quickly walked towards Shuili. One stood on the left, the other on the right, and at the same time reached out to hold Shuili's arm.
Ganyu smiled gently and said to Shuili, "Okay, Xiaoli, stop making a fuss and let your brother and sister-in-law enjoy this sweet moment quietly."
Keqing also nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, Xiaoli, look, there's a place selling candied haws over there. Come on, sister will take you over to buy a string." Before she finished speaking, the two of them began to half-pull and half-drag Shuili towards the candied haws stall in the distance.
Although Shuili was somewhat reluctant, she was unable to resist the force of Ganyu and Keqing. As she was dragged forward, she turned back unwillingly and shouted, "Oh, Sister Ganyu, Sister Keqing, please let me go! I haven't seen enough! Brother and sister-in-law, please don't be shy!" However, her protests were ineffective. Ganyu and Keqing quickly led them away from the scene, leaving Xinyang and Linghua alone, enjoying their warm moment together.
After Shuili was taken away, Xinyang looked at Linghua in his arms, his eyes full of love: "We are already an old married couple, and you are still so shy after Xiaoli made such a fuss."
Linghua punched Xinyang's chest lightly in annoyance and said in a soft voice, "It's you who taught her to make trouble. If you hadn't just... well~"
Before Linghua could finish, Xinyang gently covered her lips with a gentle and affectionate kiss, blocking all the words she had yet to say.
Linghua was stunned for a moment, then slowly closed her eyes, her hands unconsciously grabbing the corner of Xinyang's clothes, and immersed in this sudden kiss.
After a while, the two slowly separated. Linghua's face had already turned red, as beautiful as the sunset in the sky. She lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to look directly into Xinyang's eyes, and her heartbeat became rapid.
Xinyang looked at Linghua's shy appearance with a doting smile on his lips. He reached out and gently tucked a strand of Linghua's hair behind her ear. A necklace appeared in his hand at some point. The pendant was a egret carved from jade, with their names engraved on its wings.
"How can you propose without a token of love? I asked my master to carve this necklace, and I participated in every step, from selecting materials and designing styles to carving them. I originally planned to give it to you during the Lantern Festival, but now it seems that it is just right to give it to you now." Xinyang looked at Linghua with affection in his eyes and a gentle smile on his face. He shook the necklace in front of Linghua's eyes. The jade egret pendant swayed gently, reflecting a soft and charming luster. The two names engraved on it seemed to be endowed with a different kind of warmth.
Linghua looked at the necklace, her eyes filled with emotion. She reached out and gently touched the pendant, her voice choking with emotion. "Husband, you always treat me so attentively and do so much for me, and I...I haven't prepared anything."
Xinyang gently took Linghua's hand, walked behind her, and gently put the necklace on Linghua's slender neck. "Silly girl, there's no need to worry about these things between us. Every time you've been with me, every bit of love and care you've given me, is the best response."
After putting it on, Xinyang carefully looked at Linghua wearing the necklace and praised her sincerely, "It's really beautiful. It suits you very well."
Linghua quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, looked up at Xinyang, and responded, "As long as you think it looks good, honey, I really like this necklace. It carries your thoughts, and I will always wear it."
After saying that, Linghua held Xinyang's face with both hands, stood on tiptoes, and gently kissed Xinyang on the cheek.
After Xin Yang realized what was happening, he tried to kiss Ling Hua back, but Ling Hua dodged him. Xin Yang asked in confusion, "Why are you dodging? My wife is so cute, one kiss isn't enough. I need more."
After Linghua dodged, she smiled and took a few steps back. Her divine eyes shone slightly, and her cheeks were still flushed. She scolded him, "Don't push your luck. Come and catch me if you dare. I'll give it to you when you catch me."
When Xinyang heard this, an excitement expression immediately appeared on his face. He smiled and said, "So this is how you reward me? Well, then I won't be polite. Don't regret it." As he said that, Xinyang was about to chase after Linghua, but then he found that his feet could not move.
Xinyang looked down and found that his feet were frozen. It turned out that when Linghua dodged just now, she used a small amount of ice element to freeze Xinyang's feet.
Seeing that Xinyang had discovered her little trick, Linghua quickly turned and ran away, occasionally looking back at Xinyang, her eyes full of playfulness and agility, and shouting, "Come on, chase me, let's see if you can catch me this time."
Seeing this, Xin Yang just shook her head helplessly, a doting smile on her face, and said softly: "Great, you actually learned to use this little trick. But... you can't stop your husband with just this little trick."
Before he finished speaking, Xinyang slightly mobilized the power of the wind element in his body. A breeze blew by, and the ice on his feet melted away in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Linghua wanted to use Kamisato-ryu's Hail Step to create distance, but Xinyang knew what Linghua was thinking. As early as the moment he broke through the ice, Xinyang used the wind element to come right in front of Linghua, unzipped his coat, opened his arms, and the coat opened as well.
Linghua hadn't expected Xinyang to suddenly appear right in front of her. Without time to brake, she crashed headfirst into Xinyang's arms. Xinyang took advantage of the situation and hugged Linghua tightly, wrapping her up tightly in his coat. He said with a wicked grin, "Hahaha, I've caught you now, honey. Let's see where you can run."
Linghua bit her lip and said, "Why... let me go quickly. There are so many people here. I feel so embarrassed."
Xin Yang didn't care. "What are you afraid of? We are a legal couple. It's normal for us to be affectionate. Let others envy us. Honey, do you still keep your promise to me?"
Linghua raised her head and glared at Xinyang in reproach, but there was no intimidation in her eyes, more of coquettishness and shyness. She muttered softly, "Let me go first, then I'll give it to you."
Xin Yang, however, refused to give in. He hugged Ling Hua even tighter, resting his chin on the top of her head and gently nuzzling it. With a hint of allure in his voice, he whispered in Ling Hua's ear, "I don't want it. Honey, just give in to me. Look how sweetly we're having fun. Just give me a few more, okay?"
Linghua was also softened by Xinyang's attack. She hesitated for a moment and muttered softly, "I knew I couldn't do anything to you, so... well, I'll give you one." As she spoke, Linghua closed her eyes slightly, her cheeks flushed, and she took the initiative to place a light kiss on Xinyang's lips, as fleeting as a dragonfly touching the water.
Xinyang was not willing to give up. The smile on his face deepened. While Linghua was still not able to react, he lowered his head and deepened the kiss, his hands tightly around Linghua's waist.
Linghua also slowly closed her eyes, and her hands unconsciously grabbed Xinyang's clothes. She was immersed in this affectionate and passionate kiss, and the little arrogance she had just shown was long gone.
After a long while, Xin Yang finally let go of Ling Hua. Ling Hua's eyes were still a little blurry, and she was breathing heavily.
