The consequence of trying to sneak a kiss and being caught was a feeling of discomfort all the way back to the house. In fact, Song Yaoyao wasn't even in the mood to look at the scenery.

The man did not walk too quickly nor slowly. His body was tall and he had a good posture. He was dressed in a white leisurely outfit that made him fit in with the beautiful surroundings.

"What...?"

Song Yaoyao pouted her lips and kicked the fallen leaves beside her feet.

He could have woken up any time. Why did he have to wake up when she was about to kiss him?

Regardless, even if he had woken up, couldn't he have pretended to be still sleeping?

How awkward did he make her feel?

"Jerk!

"Stupid Gege!"

As she walked, she complained under her breath. Not paying attention, she ran into a wall of meat.

"Ow!"

"What did you say?"

Their two voices sounded at the same time.

Song Yaoyao held onto her head with teary eyes. "Why aren't you walking?"

This jerk caused her to hit her head and be in pain.

Huo Yunque glanced down at her condescendingly as amusement appeared in his eyes. "You were the one that ran into me," he reminded calmly.

"I..."—Song Yaoyao pouted—"That's because I didn't expect you to suddenly stop!

"Hmph, you jerk..."

Her last sentence was extremely quiet, but Huo Yunque still heard her.

"Oh?

"So you were insulting me behind my back?"

Huo Yunque nodded his head, remaining calm and composed.

Song Yaoyao didn't expect Huo Yunque's hearing to be so sharp. She was already caught stealing a kiss, now she was caught badmouthing him. Her face turned as red as blood, while her eyes darted. She did not dare to look Huo Yunque in the eyes.

Using a lame argument, she said, "That's different!

"Hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love!

"I clearly love Gege deeply!"

She clenched her fists with a firm expression, trying to convince Huo Yunque of her words.

Her delicately beautiful face was rosy like a pink jade and the blush at the end of her eyes made her alluring.

Huo Yunque stared at her. After a while, his lips curved slightly.

"What a lame argument," he chuckled as he turned around and started walking away.

"No, it isn't!

"If you don't believe me, then forget it!"

Song Yaoyao humphed, lifted her head to look at the man's broad back, and a cunning look appeared in her eyes.

Suddenly accumulating energy on the spot, she jumped forward in two strides and wrapped her arms around the man's neck.

"Gege, carry me!

"I don't want to walk~~"

"Oomph—"

Caught by surprise, Huo Yunque instinctively held her up and his hands fell upon something soft.

"So heavy."

He clicked his tongue and slowly advanced forward.

"Hey!"

Girls hated when people said they were heavy.

Song Yaoyao kicked her feet a couple of times and complained, "How am I heavy?

"I'm not fat!

"Not. At. All!" she emphasized one word at a time.

Huo Yunque's lips curved upwards slightly and his eyes smiled as he looked ahead.

Huo Manor was situated at the foot of a mountain beside a lake. Looking into the distance, apart from golden ginkgo leaves, there were cascading mountains amidst a lingering fog, and one could sense the loneliness of winter.

"Yes, you're not fat."

He walked forward along the gravel path, talking in a low voice, cold and restrained.

Yet, he sounded sexy and bewitching to Song Yaoyao.

"You can eat more."

"No!"

Song Yaoyao was like an angry frog as she bulged her cheeks, glared at him, and tried to catch her breath.

"You said I'm fat!

"I'm not eating dinner tonight. I need to lose weight!

"Huhuhu..."

She leaned on his shoulder and complained as her face almost screwed into a ball.

As expected, being fat was a woman's nemesis.

No matter their age!

Huo Yunque continued walking forward and said indifferently, "Children that don't eat will be thrown away."

Song Yaoyao: "..."

"You've gone too far, Stupid Gege!"

Too far?

Did he?

Wasn't she being too sensitive?
