The dim moonlight spilled into the large pit where Ye Qiu was.
Dugu Yan, clutching a quilt, slowly approached him, her tear tracks long since wiped away, leaving only a faint blush on her face.
Since Grandpa had already made things this way, leaving the meal half-cooked,
she didn't want to wait or suffer any longer.
She desperately wanted to know how Ye Qiu would handle their relationship
. In the pit, Ye Qiu, seemingly asleep, was actually quite awake.
The approaching footsteps made him open his eyes.
Looking up, his striking green eyes surprisingly showed no anger, but rather a hint of tension, worry, and shyness.
Her long, purplish-green hair cascaded down her shoulders and back; although some strands were messy, covering her slightly flushed and haggard face, it only made her look more beautiful, with a touch of brokenness.
She walked towards Ye Qiu with unhurried steps.
"Miss Dugu...uh!"
Ye Qiu had just sat up and called out to her, but Dugu Yan didn't answer. Instead, she accelerated and rushed straight towards Ye Qiu, crashing into his arms and knocking him down.
Ye Qiu gasped in surprise and lay back down in the pit.
However, unlike before when he was alone,
the pit was now completely cool. He was now in the arms of a beautiful, alluring body pressed against him, and the blanket that Dugu Yan had taken out fluttered down, covering them both.
Gusts of hot air brushed against Ye Qiu's face, making it feel hot, and he could smell a sweet fragrance.
"Miss Dugu...are you alright?"
Ye Qiu struggled slightly, but felt a row of silver teeth on his shoulder, ready to pounce.
This scene was exactly the same as when he was drugged.
Dugu Yan was pressing down on him, and the touch and warmth on her chest made Ye Qiu unsure of what to do with his hands.
"Hiss!" Ye Qiu gasped. Facing him, Dugu Yan, pressed close to him, shifted her body slightly, placing her hands on his shoulders.
"Do you think I'll be alright? Hmm?" Her voice was relatively calm as she whispered in Ye Qiu's ear.
Then, supporting herself on Ye Qiu's shoulders, she slightly raised her upper body, her beautiful eyes staring directly at him.
Ye Qiu gritted his teeth; her soft, voluptuous body made it difficult for him to suppress his inner fire with every movement.
"Am I making things difficult for you? Hmm?" Her eyes were shy and timid as she looked down at Ye Qiu, her previously calm voice suddenly trembling.
Panic and a flush appeared on her face, her hands seemed to be losing strength, and she almost collapsed onto Ye Qiu's face, forcing herself to stay upright.
Perhaps it was the lingering effects of the 'I Love a Piece of Firewood' drug, or perhaps the stimulation she had given was too great, but she felt Ye Qiu's temperature again, frighteningly hot.
Faced with the shimmering tears in her eyes, Ye Qiu's heart pounded uncontrollably. He silently turned his head away, his Sharingan flickering in and out of his eyes, wishing he could escape immediately and dispel the burning heat within him.
Dugu Yan's long hair cascaded down, brushing against Ye Qiu's cheek, tickling him slightly. She remained silent, waiting for his reply.
In just a moment, Ye Qiu adjusted his position.
"Hoo," Ye Qiu exhaled a breath of hot air, the bloodlust in his eyes vanishing completely, and he turned to face her directly.
His hands slowly encircled her waist. Perhaps due to her snake-type martial soul, Dugu Yan's waist was slender and supple.
Dugu Yan's gaze was also firmly fixed on him. Feeling the large hands around her waist, her pupils trembled slightly, and her body went weak.
Holding her close, Ye Qiu spoke slowly.
"Actually... it's quite difficult."
Hearing Ye Qiu's voice, Dugu Yan, who had initially felt a surge of joy, trembled, and her face quickly paled.
Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, she couldn't help but question him.
"So...so, Ye Qiu, what do you plan to do to me?! Just like before when you saw through me, wait for me to forgive you?"

Then a self-deprecating expression appeared on her face, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she gave a bitter smile.
"No, it seems you don't need to forgive me this time either. This wasn't your fault to begin with."
Before she could finish speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, dripping from her long eyelashes onto Ye Qiu's face.
"H-How could that be! I...of course I'll take responsibility for you!" Seeing her suddenly burst into tears, Ye Qiu immediately panicked, his words becoming somewhat incoherent.
He had already intimately embraced her slender waist; wasn't his meaning obvious?! And, at least let me finish what I was saying!
He hurriedly released his hold on her slender waist, reached out, and wiped away her tears, still trying to explain.
"You...you misunderstood. The reason I was in a dilemma was just wondering if you would accept a fickle scoundrel like me. I was thinking...if you don't want to, how can I make you agree!"
Ye Qiu cupped Dugu Yan's cheeks, his thumb rubbing against the corner of her wet eye.
Her voice was trembling with nervousness.
"Miss Dugu, I...I want to fulfill our marriage agreement. Are you willing?"
Dugu Yan had finally calmed down. Hearing Ye Qiu's question and seeing his flushed face, she suddenly felt a little shy and lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at Ye Qiu.
"Didn't you hear what Grandpa said before?"
Ye Qiu was stunned. That disrespectful old man seemed to have indeed said that she had feelings for him, but he wasn't quite sure what those feelings were.
"So, do you agree?"
Faced with Ye Qiu's still uncertain tone, Dugu Yan bit her lip and gave him a charmingly glaring look.
She quickly slapped away Ye Qiu's hands that were cupping her face, her cheeks flushed red, and slowly lowered her head.
*Pop!* Ye Qiu's pupils dilated. He felt a little breathless from the pressure of her breasts. He stared at the pretty face so close to his, and suddenly felt a cool, soft sensation on his face.
Dugu Yan was wiping away the tears that had just fallen onto Ye Qiu's cheeks, her body unconsciously pressing closer to him, her arms already wrapped around his neck.
The sparks of passion were growing stronger.
Finally, their lips met, and Ye Qiu's hand, which had been hovering in the air, slowly lowered, landing on her waist and back. He tilted his head slightly, silently responding.
Outside, the initially dim moonlight gradually brightened.
Coincidentally, the mist above the pit dispersed, and a soft beam of light shone on the young man and woman in the pit, illuminating the silver red thread of fate between them.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Dugu Yan's ears were practically bleeding; noticing her slightly moist lips, she couldn't help but purse them.
"Is it clear enough now?"
"Enough, enough," Ye Qiu almost couldn't breathe, feeling a little dazed.
"Pfft, hehe!" Seeing Ye Qiu's bewildered state, Dugu Yan also laughed.
"Are you alright?"
"Miss Dugu... I'm having trouble breathing!"
"Ah~"
Ye Qiu reached out to push Dugu Yan off him a little, but pressed the wrong spot.
This caused Dugu Yan to let out a soft cry, her face flushed as she got off Ye Qiu.
"Huff!" Ye Qiu lay sprawled out, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath.
Dugu Yan threw aside the blanket and sat on the ground next to Ye Qiu, her face flushed and her body slightly damp; it was quite hot being so close.
