"I'm going to hit you!" Hawking heard Luo Chao's words and reached out to hit him.

"Dad—" Yunhan, her gentle voice was the best assassin for Hawking's fiery temper.

"Let's go!" Held back by his daughter, Hawking stopped pursuing and instead pulled her along to leave.

"Yunhan—leave!" Hawking pulled, but Yunhan wouldn't move. Her eyes burned as she looked at Luo Chao, not taking a single step, as if once she turned, she would never see Luo Chao again.

That gaze, full of infatuation, intoxication, a faint mist, and a touch of sorrow... made even someone like Yan Ruyu, who hadn't spoken, feel a pang of sadness seeing it.

"Yunhan—" Seeing his daughter's expression made Hawking's heart ache, tears nearly slipping out. Why must the heavens torment this beautiful, kind, and gentle girl so? But he knew he couldn't let Yunhan be like this and thus dragged her to leave.

"Don't go—" Suddenly, for reasons unknown, Luo Chao felt that if Yunhan left at this moment, he would lose her forever, this gentle girl who evokes care and affection. Without thinking why, Luo Chao reached out to grab Yunhan's hand and shouted.

"Boy, let go!" Hawking was furious, turning back to swing at Luo Chao.

"Slap!" The crisp sound echoed by the chilly Qianyu Lake.

"Ah, Ah Yi!" Yan Ruyu exclaimed, running over.

"Ah, Dad, you—" Yunhan also cried out with a face of reproach as she looked at Hawking.

Meanwhile, Hawking himself was shocked, staring at Luo Chao. He never expected Luo Chao to not dodge but instead willingly take the hit. In fact, if Luo Chao had just let go of Yunhan's hand, he wouldn't be able to hit him. Hawking didn't understand Luo Chao's character: once Luo Chao set his mind to something, he wouldn't stop. Since he wanted to keep Yunhan, he wouldn't let go.

"How can you hit someone?" Yan Ruyu rushed over, gently stroking Luo Chao's face and shouted at Hawking.

In Yan Ruyu's heart, Luo Chao was like a god. She couldn't stand anyone being disrespectful to him.

Immediately, Yan Ruyu was about to confront the old man Hawking.

"Sister Yu, don't!" Luo Chao shouted in shock.

"But, Ah Yi, he..."

"It's okay, Sister Yu..." Luo Chao smiled and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Dad, he didn't mean to; are you... are you... okay?" Yunhan apologized and then looked at Luo Chao with concern.

"I'm fine, as long as I can keep you here, taking a slap doesn't matter," Luo Chao said seriously with a smile and then turned to Yan Ruyu, "Sister, don't worry, I'm okay!"

"Dad, can you give me a little time?" Seeing Hawking about to act up again, Yunhan softly spoke to him.

"Alright, Dad knows you're a sensible child! But... sigh... you... can't..." Hawking hesitated for a moment before finally nodding, but his half-spoken sentence left its meaning unclear. What was he hiding? Perhaps only Yunhan knew.

"Sister, may I speak with him alone?" Yunhan stepped forward, shyly addressing Yan Ruyu.

"It's okay, Sister Yu!" Seeing Yan Ruyu's hesitation, Luo Chao smiled and said.

Seeing Luo Chao's approval, Yan Ruyu didn't say much more, allowing them.

"He is a good person!" Watching Luo Chao's receding figure following Yunhan, Yan Ruyu softly said, as if speaking to herself, or perhaps for Hawking to hear.

"Young girl, some things aren't as simple as you think. Do you think I can't see, after all my years, the deep affection Yunhan has for him? There hasn't been anyone else who made her feel this way since she was little!" Hawking chuckled bitterly at Yan Ruyu's words.

"Then why do you still try to stop them? I can see from your eyes that you approve of Ah Yi." Yan Ruyu asked, puzzled.

"Heh, how many things in this world go as planned?" The old man Hawking looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with desolation, helplessness, sorrow, heartache, regret...

"Can you hold me, kiss me?" In the dim light, Yunhan stopped, turned, and looked at Luo Chao, her face still blushing, shy, with a hint of bashfulness.

"Wha... wha... what?" Luo Chao was momentarily dumbfounded by her question. He couldn't understand why this gentle, shy girl was saying such things.

But before Luo Chao could think more, the delicate, boneless, charming figure had already thrown herself into his embrace, holding him tightly.

Luo Chao slowly extended his hand to embrace the delicate figure before him, tender and gentle, evoking care and affection, making Luo Chao feel his body tremble slightly. Was he afraid that a little strength would harm this tender body?

Gently, slowly lowering his head, the cool and soft lips emitting a faint fragrance, the scent of a girl wrapped around his breath.

At the moment of lip contact, Yunhan's graceful body shuddered violently, a reaction from the heart, or something else, beyond words.

Luo Chao gently broke open the slightly closed lips, brushing over the crystalline teeth one by one, fearing to miss anything. Teeth gently part, finally breaking through, reaching inside, Yunhan's fragrant tongue, like a shy maiden, kept dodging Luo Chao's entangling advance. Each time avoiding the pursuit, two tongues engaged in a game of hide and seek in the beautiful realm, until the big tongue finally entwined with the little fragrant tongue, both twirling tightly together like entwined snakes, loving and demanding from each other...

Lips parted, Yunhan's face flushed, the lingering resonance of the kiss yet to fade, like the ever-present twilight of the sky, breathtakingly beautiful.

"So beautiful!" Luo Chao softly said as he looked at the indescribable Yunhan.

"I want to know your name!" Yunhan gazed at Luo Chao, murmuring longingly.

"Luo Chao, the Zhou of Zhou Dynasty, the Yi of The Book of Changes!" Luo Chao spoke in a gentle voice.

"Luo Chao, Luo Chao, Luo Chao..." Yunhan repeated as if engraving it in her heart.

"Thank you, Luo Chao! This will be the happiest moment of my life!" After a while, Yunhan suddenly said to Luo Chao.

"Silly, there will be more happiness in the future!" Luo Chao lightly touched Yunhan's nose and said.

"Luo Chao, when you grow old someday, will you remember that a girl named Yunhan once appeared in your life?" Not paying attention to Luo Chao's words, Yunhan spoke to herself.

"I'll remember, of course, I'll remember. How could I forget? The girls I loved, I remember all of them."

"Then I'll be happy!" Yunhan smiled sweetly, murmuring.

"What's wrong with you?" Luo Chao sensed something was off.

"It's nothing. I'm sorry, Luo Chao. I'm leaving. When you grow old someday, if you can remember a girl named Huo Yunhan once appeared in your life, I'll be content!" As Yunhan spoke, Luo Chao noticed he couldn't move his body.

"Yunhan, what are you doing, let me go?" Luo Chao didn't know why he couldn't move, but he knew it was related to Yunhan.

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving. In two minutes, you'll return to normal!" Yunhan said softly: "Though I wish you could remember a girl named Huo Yunhan appeared in your life as you age, I hope even more that you forget me, forget this girl named Yunhan."

Her thin lips pressed against Luo Chao's lips, a parting kiss, as two tears slipped down.
