As Baili Yu traveled while teasing Tang Doudou, the sun ended up setting before they even caught sight of the city.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the end, it got so dark that they couldnât see the road clearly and had to stop.
Tang Doudou poked out her head. When she saw the darkness all around them, she fell speechless. âI told you to hurry, didnât I? Now this is just great, what are we supposed to do now?â
Baili Yu glanced towards her hesitantly. âWhy donât we just rest here until the sun rises?â
Tang Doudou glowered at him. âWhat other idea is there? Seriously, you prepared everything, but why did you forget something as important as a rolled torch?â
âAhem, based on my predictions, we shouldâve been able to reach the city before nightfall.â Baili Yu looked up at the sky. It really didnât feel nice to have things fall outside of his expectations.
Upon hearing that, Tang Doudou wanted to cry but had no tears. What could she say about this?
âEnough, hopefully we wonât encounter some wild wolf or anything. Letâs sleep!â After saying that, Tang Doudou went back inside to sleep.
After a short while, Baili Yu entered the carriage as well. Tang Doudou thought that he was going to sleep as well, so she shifted over a little. However, she was still peeved with him so she didnât speak.
Baili Yu sat down next to her. It was dark outside, but it was even darker inside the carriage. It was so dark that not even a finger held right up to the eye could be seen.
However, Baili Yu seemed to have night vision and calmly took Tang Doudouâs hand to rub and squeeze it. âWife, donât be angry anymore, alright?â
Tang Doudou gave a humph without speaking.
Baili Yu turned around and his warm breath hit Tang Doudouâs face. âDoudou, I was wrong.â
âWrong? What did you do wrong?â She couldnât take the feeling of that warm breath anymore and sat up as she spoke in an annoyed tone.
Baili Yu moved closer. âI shouldnât have kept flirting with Wife to the point I forgot about driving the carriage, causing us to have to wait through the night by the side of the road. Itâs unsafe and also uncomfortableâ¦â
âAnd?â
âAndâ¦â Baili Yu was puzzled. What else?
Tang Doudou puffed up her cheeks. âThatâs right, and!?â
Baili Yu wasnât as dumb as to ask what else was there. He understood that if he asked, it would not end well.
So he squeezed Tang Doudouâs hand again. The soft plump feeling made his mood lift, and as soon as his mood lifted, his head also started working a lot better.
âWife, I know that a hundred wrongs or a thousand wrongs, itâs all my fault. Iâll admit to it and never do it again, alright? Just forgive me this once, alright? I promise that there will never be a next time!â As he spoke, he made a serious expression. However, then he recalled that it was too dark for Tang Doudou to see his expression, so he relaxed and tugged on Tang Doudouâs sleeve. âWifeâ¦
âDonât be angry anymore, alright?
âWife, then why donât you just hit me?
âIf youâre angry, just vent your anger on me. I guarantee that I wonât fight back!
âWife, you should just vent all the darkness in your heart on me!â
Baili Yu seemed to have instantly transformed into a seventy-year-old granny. He was chattering nonstop, so much that Tang Doudou couldnât even edge a word in.
âWifeâ¦â
âAlright, alright! Iâm not angry anymore.â So it turned out that it could be this scary when a man started acting coquettishly! Tang Doudou conceded her defeat.
When Baili Yu heard that, his hand that had been itching to move started traveling restlessly.
Tang Doudou grabbed his misbehaving hand and said, âBehave! Sleep!â
âWife, I want to hug you while sleeping. Iâm afraidâ¦â
Tang Doudou wanted to cry but didnât have the tears. She was also afraid ah! Afraid that this guy was going to transform into a wolf. She had no desire to play such an exciting game in the wilderness!
âAhem! A man and a woman alone together should maintain some distance,â said Tang Doudou.
Unexpectedly, right after she said this, the hand that was tightly hugging her pulled back. There was an unusually loud sound of someone turning, then Baili Yuâs presence moved away. He seemed to now be hiding in a corner.
Tang Doudou was confused. âWhat are you doing?â
Baili Yu replied sulkily, âWife said to maintain distance.â
âI didnât tell you to get that far away!â Tang Doudou was speechless.
âOh.â
Tang Doudou also felt uncomfortable when Baili Yu was far away. When she saw that he didnât have any intention to move back here, she said, âWhat are you still doing there?â
âWife said to maintain distance.â
Tang Doudou: â¦
âI said thereâs no need to maintain that much!â
âOh.â
âWhat do you mean by âohâ!?â Tang Doudou got up. This guy was seriously being too much, she had to teach him a lesson today!
When Baili Yu sensed Tang Doudou getting up, he hastily got up as well.
Although the carriage was small, since Tang Doudou couldnât see anything, she didnât dare to just walk over. Instead, she kept her hands on both walls of the carriage as she slowly moved over. However, when she reached out, she didnât feel anything. Where was he?
âBaili Yu?â
No one replied.
âBig evil spirit? Baili Yu? Say something!
âIâm warning you, if you donât hurry and say something, I wonât ever talk to you again!â
âIâm over here.â Perhaps the last sentence scared Baili Yu because he replied to her timidly.
He had actually run behind her back again.
Tang Doudou was ticked off. Was he trying to play hide-and-seek with her!?
âYouâre not allowed to move, Iâm going over to find you!â commanded Tang Doudou. Then she turned around to head over. However, as soon as she took a step, her foot got caught on something and she fell forward.
The carriage was only so large, so she fell right into Baili Yuâs arms.
