Tang Yu stepped forward and laughed like a devil.
"Little brat, I like tall, handsome, and fair-skinned guys, in short, tall, rich, and fair-skinned. You're dark-skinned and short, so I don't like you."
Upon hearing this, the boy turned around and ran away, wailing loudly.
Li Xiangyi said helplessly, "Why are you teasing a little kid?"
"I'm telling the truth."
Li Xiangyi was surprised when Tang Yu finished speaking.
"Although being rich, beautiful, tall, and handsome is a selective thing, there are quite a few people in the world who meet these criteria."
But in recent years, I've never heard of anyone winning over Manager Tang. I used to think it was because Manager Tang's standards were too high, but now it seems he can't forget his old flame?
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyi quickly took a step back, afraid of being beaten.
Tang Yu smiled and glanced at the person in front of her, then pushed the person into the sea with a palm strike.
Li Xiangyi fell into the sea and sighed helplessly.
Recently, every time he doesn't cook well, he gets dragged out to practice swordsmanship, and then he quickly learns to cook.
Going up now would probably only make them angrier; I'd rather dive down and find some pretty pearls to appease them.
As evening fell, Li Xiangyi emerged from the water with several peacock blue pearls and some white pearls.
Then, he went to the place where his Lotus Pavilion was docked.
At this moment, a bright moon slowly rises from the sea, its pure light spilling like water onto the vast, boundless ocean, shimmering and dreamlike.
In the distance, the waves gently lapped against the rocks, making a deep and rhythmic sound, while the sky was dotted with stars, reflecting the bright moon.
Such scenery is gentle and beautiful.
Li Xiangyi suddenly realized that since the day the two of them fell from the clouds at the top of Mount Tai, they had actually enjoyed many beautiful sights together.
The magnificent chrysanthemum exhibition was a sight to behold, with each flower blooming beautifully and vying for attention. The maple leaves were as fiery red as fire, a color that was intoxicating. The forests, ablaze with color, were a breathtaking spectacle.
And in the quiet of each night, he would sit in the Lotus Pavilion, bathed in moonlight, listening to the other's ethereal and beautiful flute music.
"Are you still angry? I apologize. I shouldn't have said those things to hurt you."
Tang Yu sat atop the Lotus Pavilion when Li Xiangyi flew up and delivered the apology, then presented the pearl in his hand.
"Take a look and see if you like it?"
Tang Yu took the pearl and asked with a smile.
An apology gift?
Li Xiangyi nodded.
"If I don't like it, I'll go to the seabed tomorrow to look for other colors. I heard there are pink and gold ones."
"I wasn't actually that angry, I just suddenly started missing them."
A long time ago, I read a line of poetry.
The greatest distance in the world is not between life and death, but that I stand right in front of you, and you don't know I love you.
Just as Tang Yu finished speaking, Li Xiangyi suddenly blushed and became nervous, but Tang Yu continued speaking.
"Back then, I thought this poem was very poignant, but after experiencing more of life, I realized that the greatest distance in the world is actually between life and death."
After saying this, Tang Yu smiled gently and this time took out his xiao (vertical bamboo flute) and began to play.
The sound of the flute was like weeping and lamenting, clear and melancholic, carrying a sense of loneliness and longing.
The sound of the flute seemed like the whispers of a lonely ghost wandering in the dead of night, or the lament of fallen leaves withering in the autumn frost, each note heartbreaking and each line filled with sorrow.
As Li Xiangyi listened to the sound of the flute, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if pierced by a needle.
After a long while, the flute music ended, and Tang Yu spoke with a smile.
"Okay, I'm not angry anymore. Go back and rest."
Li Xiangyi couldn't help but grab the wrist of the person in front of him.
"If you want to cry, I won't laugh at you; I can disappear right now."
Tang Yu had no idea what the other person was imagining, so she smiled and withdrew her hand.
"No one is happy forever! Sometimes you feel lonely and miss someone, and that's perfectly normal."
But I will try my best to be happy, because the people who love me want me to live happily, so I will not make myself suffer. I will just miss them occasionally.
Li Xiangyi, don't overthink it. I'm someone who can find joy in simple things.
Li Xiangyi didn't know what to say; it seemed that anything he said would be wrong.
"I'm sorry, I touched on something that hurt you today."
"It's not you, it's just that the moonlight tonight is too beautiful and melancholic, making it easy to think of the past."
Also, please don't imagine any tragic stories of separation or death. I'm not a pitiful person who lost a loved one; they're both doing well, and I haven't really lost them. It's just... missing someone is a natural human experience.
The next day, Tang Yu and Li Xiangyi rented a boat and went out to sea.
After sensing the unusually lush underwater vegetation in a certain spot, Tang Yu suddenly felt interested in diving and exploring the sea, and Li Xiangyi insisted on going with him.
The two dived into the sea together, and the underwater world instantly transformed into another beautiful and dreamlike world.
Colorful seaweed sways gracefully, and the corals, in various dreamlike shapes, are teeming with tiny fish. As the sunlight shines in, the clear blue of the seawater fills the view, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Tang Yu no longer obsessively searched for pearls, but simply frolicked and played with the fish in the water. The fish surrounded her, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Li Xiangyi, who was not far away, suddenly plummeted, as if calling for help.
Tang Yu quickly swam over. Could this guy have a cramp?
After helping the other person up, Tang Yu subconsciously prepared to take this ice-cold person ashore.
However, just as they reached the surface of the water and tightly embraced each other, the person in front of her suddenly stretched out his hands and, with an irresistible tenderness and urgency, completely pulled her into his arms.
Immediately afterwards, Li Xiangyi slowly lowered his head, his eyes burning with intense flames, and then gently, yet with unwavering determination, covered him.
The vibrant underwater world and the agile schools of fish seemed to be under a spell, fading away slowly with this kiss...
Chapter 13 Lotus Tower 13
The sea was rather cold in October, and when the two returned to the wooden boat from the seabed, Li Xiangyi still felt his whole body was icy cold.
While drying the clothes with his internal energy, Li Xiangyi hugged the person in front of him with both arms, then nestled his head against the neck and sighed affectionately.
"I'm so cold, why are you still so warm?"
"Is that why you're holding me so tightly?"
Tang Yu mocked, and Li Xiangyi couldn't help but laugh too, then hugged the other tightly.
"No, by hugging each other like this, I can help you dry your clothes."
Tang Yu glanced sideways at the person in front of her.
"A silver tongue and a thick skin."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyi buried his head in his shoulders and laughed even more heartily.
"I've been thinking about something just now: when I kiss you, will you struggle and push me away forcefully?"
When you realize I've lied to you, will you suddenly slap me? I've imagined so many different endings.
But none of that makes me as happy as the ending I've witnessed.
Tang Yu felt the clothes that had been warmed and dried, and she smiled as she pushed the other person away.
"I didn't agree to be with you, don't overthink it."
These words did not disappoint Li Xiangyi; he simply smiled confidently.
"If a man kisses a woman and she doesn't get angry, it means she doesn't dislike the man."
"And since you like rich, handsome, and tall men, then if I become even richer, you can still like me, right?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Li Xiangyi, no, Li Lianhua, are you admitting that you are fair-skinned, tall, and handsome?"
"Hahaha……"
Li Xiangyi couldn't help but laugh.
Then, he reached out and touched his cheek.
"If you think it's a bit dark, it will lighten after a while."
"Do you think I keep pets?"
Li Xiangyi simply smiled, then reached out and grasped the hand of the person in front of him.
"So many people are trying to please you, one more person won't make a difference."
Maybe after a while, you'll like me?
Looking at the earnest eyes in front of her, Tang Yu smiled and asked.
"Are you sure it's not just a fleeting attraction to beauty? I'm the kind of person who's very fickle; if I invest too much, I'm afraid you'll feel bad."
Li Xiangyi couldn't help but step forward, pull the other person into his arms, and then lower his head to gently kiss them for a while.
The gentle fragrance of a daughter is a scent that can never be experienced in dreams. Li Xiangyi rested his head on the side of her neck and then spoke intimately.
"There are so many people in this world, but I only feel relaxed and happy when I'm with you. As long as you don't refuse to drive me away, I think I can be happy for the rest of my life."
As for being heartless, someone like you shouldn't invest too much emotion in yourself; just let others love you.
I used to think we were friends, so I got along well with you, but I had a dream last night…
Having said that, Li Xiangyi leaned down and gently kissed the side of her neck, then took a step back and lowered his head to kiss her deeply.
Then, he grabbed the slender waist of the person in front of him and slowly pulled her down into the wooden boat.
His hair was tangled and messy. Li Xiangyi first lowered his head and kissed it lightly for a moment, then placed his hand on his belt...
