Within the Barrier, the two were intimately close as if no one else was around. Was it really true that no one outside could see them?
Oh no, the less visible they were, the more easily one could imagine.
For instance, Zhao Feiyu was blushing and lying on her side, thinking that these two were too inconsiderate of others' feelings. It was broad daylight—oh no, even under the high moonlight, it seemed suitable for such things. But there were others here, right? She and Yun Tianying were both living, feeling individuals, and she was still a woman. Although she couldn't see what was happening inside the Barrier, she could roughly guess, couldn't she?
The vivid images kept flashing in Zhao Feiyu's mind, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't chase them away. It seemed like she wouldn't be able to sleep that night.
Did the people inside the Barrier really not know how they appeared to others? Was there absolutely no influence from the outside world?
Well, indeed some believed so. For example, Ouyang Zixin felt completely at ease, thinking that with Yun Tianmo supporting the Barrier, they were "safe." She certainly didn't want to be spied upon.
As for Yun Tianmo, did he not realize that this was essentially a case of "not hiding one's silver"? Of course he did; he was doing it on purpose. This woman seemed quite clever on ordinary days but was actually a bit clueless; she couldn't even see through such a simple truth and looked genuinely reassured.
However, seeing her nestled so obediently in his arms made him think that occasional "caution" was still necessary.
"Aren't you tired?" Ouyang Zixin looked up at Yun Tianmo but found she could only see his well-defined jawline—it was indeed very clean. At his age, shouldn't he be growing a beard? Why didn't he have one?
Yun Tianmo had one arm around her while the other rested on his bent knee. His deep voice sounded in her ear, "How could I be tired in just a moment?"
Ouyang Zixin instinctively slapped his chest in response to Yun Tianmo's bold teasing. The image of him as a cold and aloof figure had been nearly ruined over these days; even such rogue words could come from him without batting an eye. She began to doubt whether this person before her was truly him.
Yun Tianmo chuckled lightly. He grabbed her mischievous hand and looked down at her with a hint of grievance in his voice. "Are you trying to beat me to death so you can find someone new?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zixin burst into laughter. Wasn't that line something only those heartbroken women would say? How could it come from Yun Tianmo? Instead of evoking pity, it made one want to laugh out loud—especially with a hint of anguish crossing his usually expressionless face. This made Ouyang Zixin laugh so hard that she suddenly coughed, "Cough cough, you should go take some acting lessons..."
In truth, Yun Tianmo didn't know why he blurted that out either; even he felt a chill run down his spine after saying it. He felt quite uncomfortable but found himself unable to resist teasing Ouyang Zixin more and more. He loved seeing her laugh heartily and enjoyed watching her get jealous...
After helping Ouyang Zixin catch her breath, Yun Tianmo leaned back and lay flat on his back with his hands behind his head. "Come lie down for a bit; look, it's beautiful."
"Beautiful?" Ouyang Zixin obediently lay down, placing her hands behind her head like Yun Tianmo. "There are no stars or moon, it's pitch black. Where's the beauty in that?"
Yun Tianmo turned his head to look at Ouyang Zixin, who was staring wide-eyed at the sky. His voice was almost a whisper, "People are beautiful..."
Ouyang Zixin felt the warm breath blowing from the side and suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over, instinctively shrinking her neck. Being praised so frequently by Yun Tianmo made her feel somewhat unreal, but she also knew that the man beside her was the same ice mountain she had once avoided. It seemed that this ice mountain had started to melt at some point, becoming warm enough for her to struggle to cope.
"I never thought you were this kind of person before." Without turning back, Ouyang Zixin continued to gaze at the sky, not out of avoidance of his intense gaze, but out of shyness.
"What kind of person am I?" Yun Tianmo had never heard Ouyang Zixin's opinion of him beyond the description of "ice mountain," so when she brought it up, he naturally asked.
In the past, Ouyang Zixin felt she would have unhesitatingly described him as cold, aloof, and hard to approach. However, it was clear now that these words no longer suited him, at least not when he was with her. As for how he treated others or what others thought of him, that had nothing to do with her.
Ouyang Zixin also turned her head slightly, their eyes meeting for just a moment. She felt as if the oxygen in the air had thinned significantly, making her breathing noticeably less smooth. His eyes were like a deep pool, possessing a deadly allure that always drew her in, making it impossible for her to escape.
No, perhaps it should be said that she didn't want to escape.
"It's hard to describe; the ice mountain of the past is now a hot spring." After thinking for a long time, Ouyang Zixin still couldn't find suitable adjectives and could only make a casual comparison between his former coldness and his current warmth.
Yun Tianmo was indeed not satisfied with such a description; he didn't like being compared to an ice mountain or a hot spring. However, considering there had been some change and that it was a positive one, he temporarily accepted it but added, "A warm bed in the future."
"......"
Is this really Yun Tianmo?
Ouyang Zixin stiffly turned her head away; she couldn't look at him any longer. This man must be poison. When he was cold, he could freeze someone to death; when he was warm, his temperature was absurdly high. It was truly difficult for her to adapt in such a short time.
"Look at me."
"No."
"Why?"
"Because..." If you look for too long, you will fall.
The long night stretched on, devoid of moon, stars, and clouds. The two young hearts drew a little closer together as they lay quietly, the sound of their breathing echoing clearly in the eerie silence of the wilderness, where no birds or insects made a sound.
"Hey, are you asleep?" Ouyang Zixin turned over and saw that Yun Tianmo had closed his eyes, breathing steadily. It seemed he was indeed asleep.
He hadn't rested well these past few days; the last time he had a good rest was in the Underground Palace. He must be tired; after all, no one is made of iron. But why did he look so good even while sleeping?
Long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, a perfectly shaped face...
Looking at those thin lips, which seemed cold and hard, why did they now appear so tempting?
People with thin lips are often seen as indifferent, yet why did he feel nothing wrong when looking at those lips?
He even thought about wanting to taste them...
(To be continued.)
P.S.: Kouxin also feels that there hasn't been much romantic development between the main characters. These two haven't openly dated; that's true. They haven't been direct about it, but they've been subtly expressing their feelings. Haven't you noticed?
