The next day, at five in the morning.
On a beach in Luochuan City.
As dawn was just breaking, the beach was mostly deserted.
Upon closer inspection, a figure sat on the sand, with a small form lying across his lap, head resting on his chest, sleeping soundly and drooling, the saliva dripping onto his clothes. Due to the low temperature in the early morning and their light attire, he held her two delicate feet in one hand to prevent them from getting cold.
Qin Xuan shook his head with a wry smile. He had been holding Wang Yuyan like this all night.
Last night, Wang Yuyan insisted on coming to the beach to watch the sunrise. As soon as they lay down by the sea, she had fallen fast asleep.
Fearing she would catch a cold, Qin Xuan had no choice but to hold her in his arms.
And Qin Xuan had maintained this posture all night.
Not long after, the sky began to redden.
Qin Xuan quickly patted Wang Yuyan's pouting little bottom and softly called out,
"Yuyan, Yuyan, wake up quickly, or we won't be able to see the sunrise."
Woken up, Wang Yuyan was a little grumpy. She squirmed, adjusted to a more comfortable position, and was about to go back to sleep. Qin Xuan pinched her little nose.
Unable to breathe, Wang Yuyan slowly opened her eyes, batted away Qin Xuan's hand, and said playfully,
"It's so early in the morning, and you won't let me sleep a bit longer. You're so annoying."
As she spoke, Wang Yuyan raised her eyebrows and continued,
"I think I smell a bit of foot odor?"
Then, her eyes glanced at Qin Xuan's feet. Seeing that he hadn't taken off his shoes, she asked in confusion,
"Huh, you didn't take off your shoes, so why is there a bit of foot odor? Could it be mine? No way, I'm a little fairy princess, how could a fairy princess's feet smell?"
"Pfft... Hahaha!" Qin Xuan couldn't hold back his laughter and let out a pig-like snort.
"Are you sure it's not yours?"
Qin Xuan pointed to her high heels not far away and then patted the soles of her feet with a smile,
"I held your feet all night to keep you from getting cold. And you walked around the antique market for so long yesterday, your feet must have gotten sweaty, right?"
When wearing high heels and walking a lot, feet sweat, and it's easy for them to develop an odor. Coupled with the fact that Wang Yuyan had been on the beach with Qin Xuan all night without washing up, her feet had a slight smell. However, compared to a man's, this smell was negligible.
So Qin Xuan barely noticed it, but Wang Yuyan herself could smell it.
Wang Yuyan glanced at her two little feet, her face instantly flushed. She hit Qin Xuan's chest a few times and said,
"Bah! My feet don't sweat. If they sweat, it's fragrant sweat. Moreover, my feet are as smooth as cream, peerless beautiful feet. You get to touch them all night, and you're still complaining instead of being happy."
Qin Xuan was speechless. When had he complained? This girl's imagination was unusually strong.
"Alright, stop bickering. Look." Qin Xuan got back to the point, pointing to the fiery red sky.
Wang Yuyan followed his gaze, her pretty face illuminated crimson.
The sun, welcomed by the morning glow, revealed its rosy face. Instantly, ten thousand golden rays painted the water surface with a blush.
"Wow! Little Xuanxuan, it's so beautiful!" Wang Yuyan pointed at the sky, excited like a little girl.
Qin Xuan also showed a hint of a smile. It was his first time watching the sunrise, and it was indeed quite beautiful.
A mischievous smile suddenly flickered on Wang Yuyan's lips. She turned her body, hooked her legs around Qin Xuan's waist, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Their faces were less than half a fist apart.
Wang Yuyan giggled and blew a puff of air into Qin Xuan's nose,
"Carry me up, Little Xuanxuan."
Qin Xuan's nose tickled, feeling a pleasant warmth, and he instantly felt a surge of heat within him.
Wang Yuyan was too alluring, and Qin Xuan couldn't control himself. He quickly circulated his dragon power to suppress the heat within him, and his mind finally cleared a little.
