Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

"I know!! Don't say this out loud!! No emotional reactions!!"

Yu Zhe was startled; he had heard Lu Ling and Lu Yao's conversation clearly.

But his lips were already pressed against Yun'er's lips uncontrollably, and Yu Zhe could not and did not want to break free.

Yun'er's thoughts were becoming increasingly chaotic as she savored the taste of Yu Zhe's lips.

I just felt that she might... be about to give up.

My whole body feels tingly and numb, it's such a strange feeling.

Just before Yun'er's hand was about to make some bolder moves.

The car braked suddenly! This caused their heads to gently touch, interrupting Yun'er's bold idea.

This was accompanied by Lu Ling's breathless announcement.

"Phew... Young Master Yu Zhe! Miss Mo! The villa... We've arrived at the villa!"

It's so great that we made it! So great!

12. Castle

When Young Master Yu Zhe got out of the car with Miss Mo.

Lu Ling was exhausted, slumped over the steering wheel.

Lu Yao rolled down the car window to a gap that revealed her eyes, watching Yu Zhe and Ling Yun support each other as they slowly drove away. Even her usually calm face showed a hint of envy.

"Mmm... Xiaoling, Miss Mo... is so happy..."

"Okay, okay, sister, stop talking. I know, save your breath. You still need to be patient. You're too inexperienced. I'll find a chance to carry you later."

"it is good..."

Even though Lu Ling reiterated her assurances, she didn't have much confidence in herself.

She silently turned off the car engine, and like the quiet car, she didn't want to move.

Even the hellish training I usually undergo with Master Lin Yin isn't this tiring.

Because that was physical exhaustion, but now it's mental exhaustion.

If I hadn't pressed the accelerator even a little less on that stretch of road, the car would have become completely out of control!

That being said... is that what it's like when you're deeply moved?

They nestled together, their concern tinged with bittersweet feelings, a bittersweet mix of affection and tenderness. Even Lu Ling, who was driving ahead, could sense the strange atmosphere between them.

Heart...?

Suddenly, Lu Ling had a flash of inspiration.

"elder sister."

"Um...?"

"I think I know what we've been missing all along."

"Flour...? We're out of flour...we're short of...flour..."

"I didn't tell you about food!! Ugh, you're so stupid! Never mind, I'll talk to you about this later! Now get out of the car with me and help Lady Qiuyun keep the young ladies in check. No one is allowed to disturb Miss Mo and Young Master's good time today!"

"Okay..."

....................

If Yu Zhe had been here just a few hours earlier, he would never have imagined that he would have to sneak around to get home.

There's nothing you can do if you're not careful. If you get caught, it'll be terrible, the consequences are unimaginable!

Before getting out of the car, Lu Ling pointed out a pebbly path through the grass to Yu Zhe. At the end of the path, they could open the fence of the yard wall and enter the villa's courtyard without having to go through the main gate.

Yang Qiuyun had already secretly unlocked the fence, allowing Yu Zheyun to move freely.

Sure enough, after gently pushing open the fence gate covered with green vines and vegetation, one had already entered the villa's courtyard.

The lights were still on in the rooms upstairs in the villa. It was 10:30, and everyone was still awake. Coming in from the side seemed to be the right decision.

Without further ado, the agreed-upon final destination is...

Just as Yu Zhe calmed himself down and was about to look around to confirm the location, Yun'er spotted the target first and pointed to a spot not far to the right in a low voice.

"Ah... Brother Yuzhe, is that place... that little house!"

"No, no, that... uh..."

Yes, and it's quite obvious.

Yu Zhe had seen this small hut, which occupied about ten square meters, in the yard before, but didn't know its purpose. He just learned from a message on his phone that this should be the one...

Storage room.

The main reason we can confirm this is probably because there's a small wooden sign next to that little house, facing this direction, stuck in the vegetable garden.

That's my mother's handwriting.

"Yu Zheyun's beloved little castle →"

They even added a little arrow to it; isn't that incredibly thoughtful?!

The two men crept along the wall and took a closer look.

There was also a line of smaller print at the bottom of the sign.

"Once you get here, you don't need to worry about being discovered. They won't come this way. Also, this storage room is very soundproof, so there's no need to worry. You can set off firecrackers in there and the upstairs neighbors won't hear a thing. So please enjoy yourself. (Mom, stay here.) (▽`)"

Suddenly I felt relieved.

Yu Zhe and Yun'er both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and their cautious movements immediately relaxed.

"Pfft... What 'Mom, leave'? Even if she didn't write that, it's like we wouldn't have guessed it was her."

"Haha...that's just like Auntie's style. The emoticons at the end are also very cute. Hmm...since we've confirmed it's here, then...Brother Yuzhe."

"it is good..."

Although the little wooden sign left by Yang Qiuyun is fun and interesting, it is no longer enough to attract Yu Zheyun to stop.

The two of them... had both reached their limit of endurance.

On the way here, Yun'er's breathing was very rapid. She was in good physical condition, so it was definitely not because she was tired from walking. Then what was the reason? The answer was obvious.

Yu Zhe is the same...

Holding Yun'er's hand, Yu Zhe led her openly and honestly, pushing open the wooden door of the unassuming little house.

Knowing they won't be discovered, they're acting all arrogant!

Squeak~

As the door opened, a perfectly balanced fragrance wafted out.

It was just right—because it wasn't the scent of perfume, but rather the fragrance of flowers.

The unremarkable little house, with a space of just over ten square meters, has a large, soft, white bed in the center, surrounded by all kinds of fresh flowers in different colors.

The bright, soft lighting, unlike the flashy lighting in the Love Hotel, makes me feel much more comfortable.

And... all around the bed are stuffed with plush toys shaped like kittens, puppies, and other cute little animals, all adorable, silly, and lively.

These little plush toys seem to be welcoming the two of them, all placed facing the door.

A sense of shock suddenly welled up in Yu Zhe's heart.

A word had naturally surfaced in his mind.

"It's...just like a real castle..." Yun'er blurted out.

"Yeah... I think so too..."

Yu Zhe slowly closed the door frame with his backhand, and locked the door from the inside.

Flowers, dolls, a small castle.

Bright, warm, little princess.

The castle that Yu Zhe had dreamed of giving to Yun'er had now arrived like a pleasant surprise.

Now... I really need to thank my mom properly tomorrow.

Don't you occasionally do something worthwhile?

"Yun'er? Yun..."

Yu Zhe was about to call out to her, but when he turned around, he consciously fell silent and stopped talking.

Tears were now glistening in her emerald green and deep purple eyes.

Little princess... just enjoy the experience first.

A castle that should have always belonged to you.

You've been in the darkness for far too long... far too long.

These plush flowers should have been with you since childhood.

Now, you can finally see me again.

Can you forget all the blood and tears in your heart now?

Mo Lingyun wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand.

I looked up and smelled the faint floral fragrance that filled the room.

The desire that had been briefly suppressed by the shock just now... erupted once more into an incomparable, boundless longing!

"Brother Yuzhe!"

"Wow!!"

Unprepared!

Without even a word, Yun'er suddenly started moving and, with unstoppable speed, shoved Yu Zhe onto the pure white bed behind her, then pounced on top of him herself.

The silver and purple hair drew an arc in the air more beautiful than the stars outside, before settling into stillness.

The force of their fall caused the bed to bounce several times before returning to a stable position.
