He sighed, tightened his belt, and quickly looked around, finding his way in the other direction.
"Come."
Ignoring Liu's resentment, Eugene took her hand and led her to the outer corridor.
The river was still at night, with moonlight as the only source of light.
The shattered silver mirror rose and fell with the waves.
Its true form, however, hangs silently high in the sky.
"Miss Liu, the moonlight is beautiful tonight."
Eugene uttered that classic line to his beloved elf.
Ryu was still sulking with him: "Let it be."
Eugene wasn't annoyed. He looked at the girl's silhouette, which was tinged with fluorescent light, and was deeply fascinated by it.
"If you ask me, the moon is actually a very strange thing."
"When you are alone, its light seems cold, making you think of someone you care about far away."
"But when you're with your loved one, its light becomes very soft, more romantic than the warmest candlelight."
"The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and I don't want to waste it."
"But I couldn't bear to let my beloved girl bask in the cold light all by herself."
As he spoke, his smile deepened.
And Ryu's bright eyes slowly widened.
Eugene moved closer to her, their warm breaths mingling.
"So, even if it's just for this little bit of romance."
Even if they are hundreds or thousands of miles apart.
"I want to come to your side too."
237 degrees Celsius, getting ready to meet my mother-in-law?
The moonlight is beautiful, and I don't want to waste it.
The moonlight is strange; it makes one person feel lonely, but two people seem to be a perfect pair.
"I will come just to make you feel even the slightest bit of warmth."
Eugene gave a gentle chuckle.
In his vision, the girl draped in silver gauze slowly opened her emerald green eyes.
"Miss Liu."
"Is the moonlight a little warmer tonight?"
His voice, appearance, and smile made it impossible for Ryu to look away.
The moonlight enveloped him and also draped over him.
Is this what it's like when two people are together?
Liu felt her heart suddenly stop pounding.
This was unlike any other time I had ever felt that spark of attraction.
This time, the sweet fragrance came gently and slowly, like a hot spring, like flowing honey.
Eugene watched as the girl stood there speechless for a long time, then chuckled.
He tilted his head and asked, "What? Can't you see clearly?"
Liu blinked immediately, feeling quite embarrassed and unsure how to respond.
Just then, Eugene took her hand.
"Hold on to me."
The man's voice resonated deep within the girl's heart.
She used the most resolute strength she could muster to lock the other person's large hand.
She let him pull her toward the deck of the ship.
The place was empty, with only a blanket of silver frost on the ground.
But these are not what Eugene is looking for.
He stepped toward the edge, one step, two steps.
Before Liu Jingqi's eyes, he silently stepped into the air, and then, as if he had stepped on an invisible staircase, he leaped forward with the help of it.
"Wow!"
Liu's feet slipped, and she thought she was going to fall into the water.
Unexpectedly, under Eugene's manipulation, she was also affected and was lifted into the air.
And so, they trod on the air, defying heaven and earth, and flew forward!
"When did you learn that?!"
Ryu had never experienced such a wondrous flight before. Her gliding was always accompanied by strong air currents, a stark contrast to this silent and exhilarating experience.
Eugene smiled without saying a word and pointed ahead.
In the shimmering water, the moon shattered and reformed time and time again.
Its shadow was not far ahead, and the shimmering light was reflected on the faces of the two people.
"Well, at least we're a little closer now."
Eugene, with the elven girl on his toes, touched the water's surface as they moved forward step by step, carefully chasing the glowing moonlight.
However, according to the reflection, they will never be able to reach that place.
But what the two of them enjoyed was the process itself.
Their hands were clasped together, leaving circles of marks on the water's surface.
And so, they continued running towards the most dreamlike light and shadow.
"Hey!"
Liu suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Where are you taking me? The boat has already sailed far away!"
She laughed and scolded him half-jokingly, her pretty face full of captivating charm.
"..."
Eugene looked at the slender, thin girl and suddenly pulled her into his arms.
! ! ?
Ryu's eyes trembled.
She realized it.
The moment when I will succumb.
"If I had met you sooner."
"Then, my dream is simply to take you to the ends of the earth."
He whispered his regrets in her ear.
If only we could have met before that grand ideal was born.
Then I will live my whole life for you.
"Sorry, this foolish man is late."
"This is all I can do for you now."
As Liu listened to his heavy, powerful heartbeat, the corners of her mouth gradually turned up.
Her emotions gradually shifted from panic to calm.
The anticipated storm wasn't as terrible as it seemed when it actually arrived.
Of course, all of this is thanks to Eugene.
"You, you."
"Always so glib."
Ryu understood the true meaning behind his words: "If only things were like this or that."
Anyway, you won't change your ambitions and settle for mediocrity.
Actually, this is not bad either.
Putting aside the fact that you are no longer ordinary.
If I could stand shoulder to shoulder with you, I would personally lay down the righteous sky you speak of.
So, I would be willing to live for you, or even die for you.
Her thoughts were in turmoil, filled with countless emotions.
Finally, he took a deep breath and pushed Eugene away.
?
The man, who was enjoying the warmth and softness of the woman, looked puzzled.
But it was at this moment.
The rapidly approaching lips caused his pupils to shrink slightly.
The precious warmth from the girl was transmitted between her lips and teeth.
They huddled together, and the temperature rapidly rose from tranquil to fiery.
Each kiss connects their hearts and tightly binds their future destinies.
