Midsummer had arrived, and the rain at Changyue Mansion had increased.
What started as a drizzle soon turned into a downpour, soaking the mountains and swallowing the bamboo forest. Between the bamboo, the calling of the deer was clear and resonant, echoing in the open space.
The heavy rain pattered against the pond, creating a melodious sound of water beads dancing beneath the surface.
It was like a song full of longing.
Su Huanian slowly woke up, still with his arms around Su He's neck, and opened his eyes to Su He's smiling gaze. The fairy's cheeks were flushed, but she did not shy away, gently touching Su He's dark scale armor and softly saying, "Thank you."
Su He did not know what she was thanking him for, but was happy nonetheless.
He nudged his head closer, tightening his embrace around Su Huanian even more.
