Chapter 31

Views:

Ruan Qiuping was halfway through taking a shower when Yu Huan came in, knocking on the door.

There was a frosted glass door between Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan, so she couldn't see Yu Huan's expression. She could only hear Yu Huan whispering, "Ruan Ruan, I've put the new clothes on the rack, and I'll wash your dirty clothes first."

Ruan Qiuping: "Okay, but you don't need to wash the Qiankun bag in the old clothes."

"knew."

Yu Huan took the dirty clothes and went to the bathroom.

He closed the bathroom door, half leaned against the wall next to him, lowered his eyes, and took out the Qiankun bag from Ruan Qiuping's dirty clothes.

Yu Huan opened his Qiankun bag and took out the red envelope that originally contained the Supreme Good Luck Charm.

At first glance, the red envelope appears to be solid color, but under the light, one can see that there is a colorful "囍" character printed on it.

The rope in Yu Huan's heart that was clinging to the cliff suddenly broke with a snap.

When Ruan Qiuping came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Yu Huan had also changed his clothes and was sitting on the sofa watching him.

Yu Huan was wearing a black shirt, which made his whole temperament become a little more stable.

The moment Yu Huan raised his head, his pupils were dark and deep, like the thick night.

"Yu Huan?" Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Ruan Ruan, come here." Yu Huan stretched out his hand towards Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping walked towards Yu Huan step by step, but as soon as he put his hand on Yu Huan's palm, Yu Huan held his hand tightly and pulled him away.

Ruan Qiuping staggered and lost his balance, half of his body was kneeling on the sofa, and he fell directly into Yu Huan's arms.

Before Ruan Qiuping could say anything, he was suddenly kissed on the lips.

Her body was already steaming hot after taking a shower, and Yu Huan's kiss made her whole body heat up even more. Her wet black hair kept dripping water on her. The slightly cool water drops fell on her scalding skin, but could not reduce the body's heat at all. It even heated the water drops. The water drops flowed from her neck into her clothes, like beads of sweat, and soon wet a part of her collar.

The air was filled with the scent of shower gel and the scent of herbal incense lit in the hotel. They were obviously very refreshing and pleasant scents, but when entangled with Yu Huan's passionate kiss, it made people's heads feel dizzy and even stimulated the heat in their bodies to rise to a higher level.

At first, this could be called a gentle kiss, but in the end, it was no longer gentle at all and was almost close to biting and tearing.

"Hmm..."

Ruan Qiuping felt so much pain from being bitten on her lips that she almost cried. She reached out to push Yu Huan, but she had no strength at the moment, and pushing Yu Huan was as difficult as pushing a concrete wall.

The kiss spread all over my body, and every part of it was burning with pain.

Ruan Qiuping almost had a strong illusion that if they were animals, Yu Huan's teeth would bite the back of his neck mercilessly.

Almost at that moment, Yu Huan's teeth actually stuck to Ruan Qiuping's neck, and then bit him viciously—

"Yu Huan!"

Pain attacked his neck, and along with it came an unknown fear. Ruan Qiuping's voice was tinged with tears, "Yu Huan, it hurts..."

Yu Huan seemed to come to his senses suddenly, and his movements suddenly stopped.

He raised his head to look at Ruan Qiuping, only to see that his neck was covered with bruises, especially on the collarbone, where there was a distinct bite mark, which was blue-purple and seemed to be oozing with blood any moment.

Ruan Qiuping's nose and eyes were red, his body was trembling slightly, and there was a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes.

Yu Huan's eyes gradually became clear, and he stretched out his hand somewhat at a loss, wanting to wipe the tears from the corners of Ruan Qiuping's eyes. However, before he touched Ruan Qiuping's face, Ruan Qiuping picked up the pillow beside him and threw it at him.

"Yu Huan, what are you doing, Yu Huan!"

Ruan Qiuping's tone was originally an angry question, but tears flowed uncontrollably and he lost all his momentum.

"I'm sorry..." Yu Huan suddenly stretched out his hand, hugged Ruan Qiuping tightly in his arms, and whispered, cherishingly, repeating over and over again, "... Ruan Ruan, I'm sorry..."

Ruan Qiuping wanted to push it open with force, but after two failed attempts, he had to give up.

After being hugged by Yu Huan for a while, Ruan Qiuping's emotions gradually calmed down.

The crying tone had subsided, but there was still a hoarseness in her voice, and she whispered: "Yu Huan... you just... just scared me..."

"I'm sorry, Ruan Ruan... It's my fault. I didn't control my bad mood." Yu Huan apologized softly.

"… What emotions?"

Ruan Qiuping pushed Yu Huan away, blinked, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Yu Huan was silent for a while, then said: "Nothing, it's just that when I think about the fact that I am a mortal and Ruan Ruan is an immortal, and my life is as short as a mayfly to Ruan Ruan, I feel jealous in my heart, jealous of those who can stay with Ruan Ruan for a long time."

Ruan Qiuping didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only say, "... but... but in your long, long life, I will come to accompany you every year."

"Yes, Ruan Ruan has decided to stay with me for the rest of my life. Why am I, a mortal, always greedy and unsatisfied?"

Yu Huan lowered his head. His tone was clearly smiling, but the faint smile in his eyes was almost negligible.

Yu Huan stood up, pulled Ruan Qiuping up from the sofa, and said, "Ruan Ruan, I'll take you to a good place."

The sea area that Yu Huan took Ruan Qiuping to was not yet open to the public. Although it was not as exquisite and beautiful as the sea area they had just visited, it had a unique unpolished natural flavor.

"Does Ruan Ruan like swimming?" Yu Huan pointed to a boat docked at the shore, "There are swimsuits on it."

"I don't like it at all." Ruan Qiuping shook his head.

In fact, it's not that he didn't like it at all. For a period of time, he often used magic to sink himself to the bottom of the sea to rest.

only…

Ruan Qiuping glanced at Yu Huan's right leg subconsciously and said, "I think it's nice to be at the beach."

After saying that, he lowered his head, dug something out of the mud and sand, and said with a smile: "Look! A snail!"

Ruan Qiuping had wanted to watch the sunset at the beach, but it was still early and they were all hungry, and the sun showed no sign of setting.

"Let's go on the boat." Yu Huan said, "There are beds and food on the boat, we can have a good rest for a while, and there is a small island not far away, we can go there to play."

"Can you drive a boat?" Ruan Qiuping asked.

"I have a driver's license, but I can't drive well enough. There is a professional driver in the cockpit."

The interior of the ship is much larger than it looks. After Ruan Qiuping had eaten and drunk his fill, he lay on the sofa and watched TV.

Yu Huan took out a platter of vegetables from the refrigerator and handed it to Ruan Qiuping: "What are you looking at, Ruan Ruan?"

Ruan Qiuping took a grape and threw it into his mouth, saying, "There's nothing good to watch, so I just found a TV series at random. The title is very long, something like "Marriage First, Love Later: You've Been Secretly in Love with Me for So Many Years."

Yu Huan: “…”

Yu Huan took the remote control and said, "This one doesn't look good. I'll find you a good-looking one."

"Okay, then you can change it. I also think this drama is just average."

Yu Huan changed the channel and saw another TV series playing - "Love Grows Over Time: Me and My Contractual Marriage".

Yu Huan changed the channel again, and the show playing on TV was "Falling in Love with You After Marriage".

Yu Huan: “…”

Yu Huan continued to change TV programs.

One after another, the titles that came into view were: "Escape from the Engagement", "The Last Love Before Marriage", and "About the Good Luck of My Lover"…

Yu Huan: “…”

"Hey, don't change it! I think this "My Lover's Lucky Story" is pretty good. Why don't we watch that one? I like stories where the protagonist is lucky."

Yu Huan turned off the TV expressionlessly and said, "That TV show isn't good either."

"Why doesn't it look good?"

"The ending is not good. The protagonist dies in the end."

Ruan Qiuping sighed: "That can't be helped. I don't watch dramas with bad endings."

At this moment, Ruan Qiuping suddenly heard the sound of a cruise ship's whistle.

But it didn't sound like the sound coming from our cruise ship.

Ruan Qiuping immediately pulled Yu Huan over to look, and it turned out that a couple was getting married on another cruise ship not far away.

The cruise ship was decorated with blue and white balloons and flowers everywhere, and colorful lights were hung on the railings of the deck, sparkling on the sea near dusk, which was very beautiful.

When Ruan Qiuping was sitting down, the groom was putting the ring on the bride's hand.

Around us are cheering relatives and friends, floating petals, the deep blue sea and the pink and purple sky in the evening.

Ruan Qiuping lay on the guardrail of the deck and couldn't help but sigh: "So beautiful... Is this a wedding scene?"

In the past two hundred years, Ruan Qiuping had only seen weddings in books and on television, but he himself had never attended any wedding.

After all, he is the god of bad luck, and it is inevitable that he will bring bad luck to others at other people's weddings.

If you hear someone is having a wedding banquet while walking on the street on weekdays, you have to take a detour.

Ruan Qiuping was so absorbed in watching that when the bride and groom kissed, he followed the other guests on the ship and started to cheer. The setting sun cast a flame-like color on his cheeks, making his eyes brighter. He turned to look at Yu Huan, patted Yu Huan's arm, and said excitedly, "Yu Huan, I'll wait for you to get married..."

Before he finished speaking, Ruan Qiuping felt that he had said the wrong thing.

Yu Huan is already thirty-three years old, and she is still obsessed with this male god who only comes once a year. Who can she marry

Yu Huan looked at Ruan Qiuping's cheek and listened to the wedding music not far away. A different kind of impulse began to rise up in his heart.

The red envelope with the word "囍" printed on it kept circling in front of his eyes. Ruan Qiuping's engagement in three months' time also invaded his mind like a virus, devouring his sanity.

In less than three months, according to Ruan Qiuping's time, Yu Huan would be buried in the ground and become an old friend in two months.

He thought that his life was long, but he could only leave an insignificant trace in Ruan Qiuping's life. Ruan Qiuping would continue to be his god, Ruan Qiuping would marry that person, would be kissed by that person... and would stay with that person forever.

When he thought of this, Yu Huan felt jealousy rising wildly, like a wildly growing vine that wrapped around his heart, forcing him to do something at this moment.

Yu Huan suddenly took Ruan Qiuping's hand and added the second half of Ruan Qiuping's unfinished sentence: "When Ruan Ruan and I get married, can we also hold the wedding on the cruise ship?"

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment.

…Who did you marry

"Ruan Ruan," Yu Huan's eyes seemed gentle and peaceful, but there was an urgent pleading in his tone, "Will you marry me?"

Get…married

Ruan Qiuping suddenly panicked and stammered, "But...but, I...I don't have your human ID card, and we are both men, so we can't...can't get married..."

"Ruan Ruan is a deity, so she doesn't have to stick to the secular rules. All Ruan Ruan needs to do is agree to marry me."

"Are you willing to marry me?"

Yu Huan looked at Ruan Qiuping. Although the smile on his face was still gentle and warm, Ruan Qiuping noticed that Yu Huan's pupils were trembling slightly, as if he was afraid that she would reject him.

The last time Ruan Qiuping saw Yu Huan with such an expression was when Yu Huan was in a car accident.

At that time, Yu Huan was lying on the hospital bed, and he looked at me with such eyes, begging me not to leave.

"Ruan Ruan..." This time, Yu Huan's voice even trembled slightly.

Ruan Qiuping nodded as if possessed by a ghost and said, "...Okay."

Yu Huan laughed as if relieved from a heavy burden. The tension and urgency he had just felt slowly faded away, and his whole body seemed to be emitting a kind of bright light.

He stretched out his hand to take something out of his body, but found nothing except a pen.

"Ruan Ruan, stretch out your hand."

Ruan Qiuping stretched out his hand with a confused look on his face.

Yu Huan lowered his head, took out a pen, and drew a circle on Ruan Qiuping's ring finger.

"What's this?"

"Engagement ring." Yu Huan said with a smile.

Ruan Qiuping thought for a moment, took the pen from Yu Huan's hand and said, "Then I'll draw one for you, too."

Ruan Qiuping's hands were unsteady, and the ring he drew was crooked.

"It doesn't look good." Ruan Qiuping frowned.

"nice."

Yu Huan looked at the stick figure ring on his hand, the curve of his lips spread out, and even his eyes were full of starlight. "It's very beautiful, I like it very much, it's so beautiful that I want to tattoo it on my finger."

"Pattern?"

"Well, would it look better if it was tattooed in white? Like a real ring." Yu Huan seemed to be considering it seriously.

"No." Ruan Qiuping hurriedly stopped him, frowned, and said seriously, "You can't get a tattoo! It hurts!"

Yu Huan's leg is irreparable, and I will never allow Yu Huan to get any more injuries because of me, not even tattoos!

"It doesn't hurt. We all have anesthesia now..."

"That won't work either. If you want to get a tattoo, I'll erase it now!" Ruan Qiuping said as he tugged at Yu Huan's hand, as if to erase the ring that had just been drawn.

Yu Huan had no choice but to compromise with a smile: "Okay, I won't get a tattoo."

He put his arm around Ruan Qiuping's waist and gently rested his forehead against hers: "Okay, Ruan Ruan has finally decided to marry me."

"I have decided to marry you." Ruan Qiuping corrected his wording.

"Yes, marry me." Yu Huan smiled and kissed her softly, "Ruan Ruan is mine."

He married Ruan Ruan first.

Even if Ruan Ruan was engaged to some deity, she would marry him first.

At least at this moment, Ruan Ruan belongs to one person alone.
