All the troubles and other matters in the days seemed to be washed away by the waves.
There was nothing but the presence of the other party beside them. Nan Hua could sense Long Qian Xing's gaze and turned to look in his direction. She smiled faintly and called out, "Brother Long?"
He often sneaked a look in her direction and since he didn't seem to be hiding it at all, Nan Hua could sense it every single time. It was not like she didn't look in his direction from time to time, but it was definitely not as often as him. Or it might be because she could sense his presence not far from her, so she didn't really need to look in his direction. But either way, it felt comforting to have each other's presence. Long Qian Xing smiled in response and then said, "You're beautiful, Hua'er."
Nan Hua blinked her eyes at the sudden praise from Long Qian Xing. If Nan Hua had to say, there were countless people who have praised her for her beauty because Nan Hua's face was truly one that could bring down kingdoms. There were not many people with such devastating beauty, but whenever there was one, they would be able to cause a lot of troubles if they wanted to with their beauty alone. But there were always some people who were genuinely saying it to her.
For nothing else but appreciation for beauty. Nan Hua kept her faint smile and then said, "You're also very handsome, Brother Long."
Long Qian Xing chuckled and nodded. Nan Hua was not lying. In terms of appearance, Long Qian Xing was still considered to be very good. Even if it was not to the point of Nan Hua where her appearance alone was enough to bring down cities, it was still very handsome. The two of them continued to walk side by side.
She herself felt that it was really good. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Ok."
The two of them walked to the rocks and then Long Qian Xing placed the incense stick on top of the rock. It was indeed the standard incense stick that was commonly used to mark the time in this era. After living for more than a decade here, Nan Hua had long gotten used to their way to call some things, including time. Long Qian Xing made a marker at half of the incense stick. "Any restriction for the weapons?" Nan Hua asked again, confirming the rules for them. "No." Long Qian Xing shook his head. It was not like they have guns in this era where it would be very cheating. Since their methods would be similar to each other, he didn't think that there was any need to limit the weapon. "Are you sure?" Nan Hua asked again. Her eyes were looking at Long Qian Xing directly. Aside from some doubt, one could see a hint of mischievousness within. Long Qian Xing looked in Nan Hua's direction and smiled. He always felt happy when he saw Nan Hua's various expression. In the beginning, Nan Hua almost had no emotions at all, very cold and indifferent to the world. Now, he could see various hints from her eyes and even her mouth started to show more and more smiles. He's happy. "Don't worry, you can use any weapons you want," Long Qian Xing said with a grin. If Nan Hua thought that a certain weapon could help her to win this battle, he would prove her that she's wrong. "Ok." Nan Hua looked at the incense stick. "Lit it up and don't make it easy for me."
"I won't." Long Qian Xing chuckled and then lit up the incense stick. Challenge accepted. After that, both of them ran in the opposite direction towards the water. There was only half an incense of stick time, so they had to hurry.
