Tick tock! Tick tock!
In a damp sandy ground, water droplets condensed on the sand board dripped on the sand. Apart from the intermittent ticking sound, almost no other sounds could be heard around the sand cave.
Suddenly, the sound of conversation rang out from somewhere in the passage. The boy in black was walking backwards with his arms behind his head, staring at the girl in white. The two were talking and laughing.
When the soles of his feet stepped on the soft sand, their whole feet sank deeply into it. He swung his hands involuntarily, trying to find a support point, but his body fell towards the sand behind him.
"Hey hey hey hey..."
When Hua Yao saw this, her face was shocked. She reached out and grabbed his palm without hesitation, and pulled him out of the soft sand.
After being rescued, Ziyang exhaled heavily. He squatted down and looked at the muddy puddles created by the soles of his feet. He was puzzled and said: "Yaoyao, there seems to be a source of water under this sandy ground?"
The girl in white looked around. She pointed at the water-soaked sand wall and sand board, and said softly: "Why do I feel that the water source is not under our feet, but above our heads."
"Above our heads?" He looked up at the sand board dripping water droplets, nodded and joked: "There shouldn't be a giant lake above our heads, right?"
"Because the water flow soaked the sand board, and it fell drop by drop. Over time, the sand was also soaked."
"If that's the case..." She half-squinted her beautiful eyes, stared at Ziyang with a smile, and said, "You are a landlubber. If the water lake above leaks, you will be drowned here. ”
The boy in black smiled awkwardly and said seriously: "How could that be? I don't believe you would just watch me drown."
"With you by my side, even if the whole world is flooded, let alone a lake, you will save me."
Hua Yao rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "Your mouth is getting better and better at pleasing people."
"I really don't understand, what is the reason for this? You know, you wouldn't have said such a thing before."
"I...this..." Ziyang looked embarrassed, frowned and thought for a long time, and said: "I don't know the specific situation, maybe I just want to tell you alone. "
After listening to his words, the girl in white put her hands behind her back, clasped them tightly together, leaned forward, stared at him with her beautiful eyes unblinking, and said with a smile: "What do you want to say to me? I'm here to listen. , just say it.”
The face of the young man in black changed slightly, and he smiled with evasive eyes: "I've said everything, what else do you want me to say to you?"
In order to prevent her from getting entangled, he changed the topic and asked hurriedly: "By the way! What is your brother's name and where is he at the moment? Is he in Liangcheng? Or somewhere else?"
When Hua Yao heard this, she folded her hands on her chest and said casually, "What do you care about him? He goes wherever he likes."
After hearing her tone, Ziyang thought to himself, are these really siblings from the same mother? It doesn't look like much to me.
"He is your biological brother after all." Zi Yang chuckled and asked quietly, "You seem to have a lot of resentment towards him?"
Hua Yao sighed softly and said with a hint of helplessness: "It's useless to be resentful. Anyway, I can't beat him now. I can't stop him from doing anything he wants to do."
She looked up at the sand board and said carefully: "Now, he is probably looking for someone powerful to compete with."
"Of course, this is just my guess. I don't know exactly what he is doing now, but what is certain is that he is near Liangcheng."
The young man in black lowered his head, stood there and thought for a while, and asked curiously: "Is your brother very powerful? What is his level?"
Hua Yao blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled slightly: "It's about realm... I'm afraid of scaring you, so I won't tell you now. In short, it's just that I'm very strong."
"Very strong?" He frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Since your brother is so powerful, he must have a great background, right?"
He looked Hua Yao up and down and whispered, "You are not a young lady from a powerful family, are you?"
The face of the girl in white changed slightly, and she said with a serious smile: "It's okay! It's okay for you to marry into my house."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yang immediately widened his eyes and confirmed again: "Are you really a young lady from a wealthy family?"
"It's not very big..." She was afraid that Zi Yang would be burdened, so she stretched out her right hand in front of him, almost pinching the two fingers together, revealing a thin slit, and said: "It's just a little bit of power. That’s all, he’s not a powerful person.”
The young man in black exhaled and said with a sad look on his face: "A little bit of power is still powerful."
Seeing that he was a little depressed, Hua Yao asked softly: "What's wrong? You don't seem to be very happy?"
"A wealthy family has too many rules, and I don't like it very much." Ziyang didn't hide anything from her, and immediately expressed his feelings.
In his mind, this large family is equivalent to the sect in Liang City, with rules one after another.
Very annoying!
Therefore, when he heard that the Huayao family had great achievements, he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable and even feel a little inferior.
Because he understood that rich and powerful people generally looked down upon a poor boy like him who came from the mountains.
Even if Hua Yao is willing, the elders in her family will probably not agree to the two of them being together, which is one of the reasons why he is depressed.
Zi Yang forced a smile and asked: "By the way, Yaoyao, have your elders arranged a marriage for you?"
The girl in white frowned and said, "Arrange a marriage?"
The young man in black nodded and said carefully: "That's right! Girls from wealthy families must pay attention to being well-matched. Didn't your elders tell you?"
Hua Yao shook her head slowly and said, "No! My brother didn't tell me about any marriage. Even if there was one, I wouldn't agree to it."
She put her arms around Ziyang's arm and said affectionately: "Don't worry too much. I only like you in this life. I don't like anyone else."
Zi Yang stretched out his hand and gently scratched her nose, then asked with a straight face: "Really?"
Hua Yao blinked her beautiful eyes, looked up at him, and said with a sweet smile: "When did I ever lie to you?"
The young man in black hugged her jade legs and turned around a few times excitedly. Then he put her down, held her soft and delicate hands tightly with both hands, and said word by word: "Yao Yao, I have decided. When we go out, After finding the ruins of Huangsha, you will come back to Wu Zheng Town with me to get married, right?"
The girl in white hesitated for a long time and asked quietly: "Didn't you say it's too early to get married? Why did you change your mind again?"
Zi Yang smiled bitterly and said worriedly: "You also know that I have no ability to protect you at this time. They want to take you away from me, and I don't even have the strength to resist."
"Yao Yao, I'm really afraid of losing you, so are you willing to go back to Wu Zheng Town with me to get married?"
"Are you scared?" Hua Yao secretly rejoiced and stared at him with a smile.
The boy in black nodded seriously: "Afraid! Very afraid! Ever since I learned that you are a young lady from a powerful family, my restless heart has never been able to calm down."
"Zi Yang, I understand your concerns. If you want... then I can satisfy you now."
Her face turned red with embarrassment, she freed her hands from Zi Yang's hands, lowered her eyebrows and untied the white ribbon around her waist.
The white clothes fell off, revealing her flawless white skin. It was as if a lamp was lit in the sand cave. The light around her illuminated the surroundings. Her almost perfect figure made Ziyang swallow a big mouthful of saliva. The blood in the body is high.
He stared at Hua Yao's snowy skin, his breathing gradually became heavier, and said: "Yao Yao, I...is it really okay?"
Hua Yao put her slender jade fingers between his lips and said softly: "Don't be stupid, I believe you won't let me down."
Zi Yang wanted to hug her, but when he reached halfway with his hand, his blurred eyes suddenly became clearer and his breathing gradually became calmer. He turned around quickly and stopped looking at her.
The girl in white looked at his back and asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Ziyang?"
He said calmly: "Put your clothes on."
There was a buzz in her mind, and she couldn't believe what he said. After a moment of confusion, she continued to ask: "Why? Did you just..."
Zi Yang said carefully: "I can't destroy you for my own selfish desires. I won't do that kind of thing to you until your family recognizes me. Even if you are willing, I can't do it."
"Even..." He was silent for a long time and then said with difficulty: "Even if we don't get together in the end, I will never regret it."
Hua Yao stretched out her arms and hugged him from behind. She pressed her face against his back and cried with joy: "I will wait for you. No matter how long it takes, I am willing to wait."
Zi Yang held her jade hand tightly and said seriously: "Yao Yao, I will work hard to practice. Give me some time, and I will definitely satisfy your family."
Her delicate body trembled slightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and she was extremely moved and said: "Zi Yang, although you are very talkative and I don't like it very much, your personality really impresses me."
"Under such circumstances, you can still stick to your heart and think about me. It really surprises me."
"You are such a fool, but you are also my good husband."
Zi Yang let go of her hand, turned around and picked up the white clothes on the sand, nodded and smiled: "Here, let me put the clothes on for you."
Hua Yao lowered her eyebrows and smiled, clasped her hands together tightly, and said coquettishly: "No, I can do it myself."
Zi Yang's face darkened, and he pretended to be angry and said, "I have to dress it for you!"
"Then I can only give you an advantage." She opened her arms and turned her back to Ziyang, saying playfully.
Zi Yang frowned slightly and asked intentionally: "Cheap?"
Hua Yao didn't save face for him this time, and immediately said: "Isn't it easier for you? Isn't it still hard for you?"
"Okay, okay, I took advantage, I took advantage." After he tied the white ribbon around her waist, he raised his hand and patted her buttocks.
Hua Yao, who looked panicked, turned around quickly and stared at him slightly displeased, as if asking him what he wanted to do.
Zi Yang first gave her a thumbs up, showing a very satisfied expression, and then said confidently: "It almost broke my waist, what happened if I hit it twice?"
As soon as he said these words, the girl in white standing in front of him was dumbfounded.
