Chapter 316: Chapter 293: Rawr, Big Tiger
The elevator ascended slowly; the attendant had selected the top floor.
"Sir, please help this lady tie this ribbon on, and then take it off when you arrive."
Just as the elevator was about to arrive, the attendant handed Ye Ling a black silk scarf.
"Here, let me tie this for you," Ye Ling said with a small smile, turning to Ning Ruoxi.
"Okay!"
Ning Ruoxi was sweet and compliant, obediently closing her eyes.
Ye Ling smiled softly, gently tying the silk scarf over her eyes.
Although her eyes were covered, their hands were still clasped together. Feeling the warmth from his palm, Ning Ruoxi felt not a shred of panic; instead, a sweet smile graced her lips.
As long as he was by her side, she felt completely safe.
The attendant standing to the side watched this scene, their eyes filled with envy.
’What kind of fairytale romance is this!’
’I’m so jealous...’
"Sir, please lead your girlfriend carefully."
The elevator stopped, and the attendant spoke to Ye Ling once again.
"Okay." Ye Ling nodded and gave Ning Ruoxi’s small hand a gentle squeeze.
Her hand was incredibly soft, like a piece of fine jade.
"Please, follow me."
The attendant led the two to the door of a private room and stopped. "Sir, I’ll take my leave now."
"Okay." Ye Ling nodded, gently leading Ning Ruoxi into the private room.
The room was slightly dim. In the center was a table laid with candles, fresh flowers...
Ye Ling took one look and nodded in satisfaction.
"Let me untie the blindfold for you," Ye Ling said, helping Ning Ruoxi untie the scarf.
Ning Ruoxi rubbed her eyes. When she saw the scene before her, she froze in astonishment.
"This... this is..." Ning Ruoxi turned to look at Ye Ling, then back at the table, her face alight with delighted surprise.
"Do you like it? It’s a surprise for you!" Ye Ling said, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
The young man’s smiling face, bathed in the candlelight, looked all the more gentle.
"I love it!" Ning Ruoxi nodded sweetly.
’A candlelight dinner!’
’This must be the kind of scene every girl dreams of, right?’
’She didn’t consider herself a particularly high-maintenance person, and she would never ask Ye Ling to do things like this. But the fact that he did it on his own still made her incredibly happy!’
’Shouldn’t life have a little ceremony to it?’
"Have a seat." Ye Ling smiled, showing Ning Ruoxi to her chair.
The table was covered in flowers and bathed in the soft candlelight. A warm, sweet feeling filled the entire room.
"Do you know what day it is today?" Ye Ling asked with a smile.
"Today..." Ning Ruoxi paused for a moment, thought for a bit, and then ventured, "Our half-anniversary?"
"So smart." Ye Ling reached out and ruffled her hair, then picked up the red wine and poured a glass for each of them.
"Mrs. Ye, I hope that in the future we’ll have a one-year anniversary, a year-and-a-half anniversary... all the way until we leave this world."
Ye Ling raised his wine glass and said with a smile.
「At that moment.」
Tears welled up in Ning Ruoxi’s eyes.
’So many people online talk about the little details in a relationship... Isn’t this one of those details?’
’The ’details’ are different for everyone, but if you truly care about someone, you’ll naturally pay more attention to certain things over others...’
’Otherwise, how could you call it love?’
’Love is unique!’
"Why are you saying such mushy things? And ’leave this world’... that sounds so awful."
Ning Ruoxi said in a low voice, her eyes red, feigning displeasure.
Although she was feigning displeasure, the tenderness and happiness in her eyes were practically overflowing.
"But, I love it. Thank you," Ning Ruoxi said again. "I also hope that we can walk hand in hand to the end of our lives together."
’There’s nothing more beautiful than love that’s mutual and reciprocated!’
’Just like this...’
...
「The next day.」
「Early in the morning.」
Ye Ling woke up early. Ning Ruoxi, wearing a pink cat-themed pajama set, was curled up in his arms.
Recalling last night, a smile appeared on Ye Ling’s lips.
The candlelight dinner had clearly moved the Little Fox Demon, because she had launched two fierce attacks against the Righteous Giant that night.
’So... was that the Four Heavens of Demon Suppression?’
’Brother Ling here is finding it a little hard to keep up.’
The little kitten had her eyes closed, breathing softly, her lips slightly pouted, looking absolutely adorable.
Watching this little kitten, Ye Ling couldn’t resist the urge to tease her a bit.
He reached out and gently pinched her little nose.
After about a minute, Ning Ruoxi woke up.
"What are you doing...?" The moment Ning Ruoxi opened her eyes, she felt Ye Ling’s little prank. She couldn’t help but frown, swatting his hand away in annoyance.
"Time to get up. The sun’s already high in the sky," Ye Ling said with a light chuckle.
"Just a little longer, I’m so tired..." Ning Ruoxi said, trying to win him over by nuzzling his chest with her head.
’This kitten even knows how to be coquettish!’
’But... this isn’t a little kitten, she’s a big cat.’
’A very, very big one!’
"Alright, just a little longer then," Ye Ling said with a helpless sigh, finding it impossible to refuse her.
A little after ten in the morning, Ning Ruoxi leisurely woke up. At this time, Ye Ling’s eyes were still closed.
"Stinky?" Ning Ruoxi called out tentatively.
In fact, Ye Ling was already awake, but he deliberately pretended to be asleep.
"Hehe... not awake yet?" A mischievous grin spread across Ning Ruoxi’s face.
Ye Ling kept his eyes closed, laughing inwardly. ’I’ve got to see what mischief this little kitten is planning!’
Since his eyes were closed, he couldn’t see Ning Ruoxi. He could only rely on his other senses to figure out what she was doing.
’Did the little minx just sit up?’
Ye Ling was a bit confused. ’Is she just getting up...?’
Just as he was about to open his eyes, the little kitten returned to his arms.
"Hehe, RAWR! Big tiger!" Ning Ruoxi giggled mischievously as she started drawing on Ye Ling’s face with lipstick.
By now, Ye Ling had already guessed what this little kitten was doing and snorted inwardly.
’Looks like last night’s demon-slaying wasn’t thorough enough!’
However, Ye Ling still didn’t open his eyes, allowing her to continue her mischief.
He really adored Ning Ruoxi, so he was willing to indulge her.
’The little minx wants to play, so I’ll let her play for now. I can get her back later, right?’
Ning Ruoxi took the lipstick and drew the Chinese character for ’King’ on Ye Ling’s forehead, mimicking a tiger’s stripes. Then she added a few lines on his cheeks for whiskers.
Just when Ye Ling thought she was about done, the little minx drew two circles around his eyes.
’Is this a combination of a panda and a tiger?’
Ye Ling couldn’t help but snort inwardly again. Although he hadn’t seen it yet, he could already imagine what he must look like.
’This naughty Little Fox Demon deserves a spanking!’
