Chapter 10: You're still young, I'll let you see when you're older.
“Beibei, how do you explain this?”
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was no longer in serious danger, Tang Ya stood up and glared at Beibei, her eyes practically spitting fire!
“Hmph! I have nothing to explain!”
Beibei immediately looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. “You were absorbing a spirit ring; I couldn't leave you!”
“Oh?”
“You mean you couldn't move within thirty meters?”
“You mean I couldn't see the electrical marks on little Yuhao's body?”
… Tang Ya had wanted to give Beibei a chance to admit his mistake, but she didn't expect that Beibei not only showed no remorse but also continued to act superior, which was truly despicable!
Seeing that all the facts were known to Tang Ya, Beibei simply stopped pretending.
“Yes, I was the one who attacked just now. I didn't want this kid to live; I wanted him to die!”
By the end of his sentence, Beibei roared, completely unconcerned.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao, as a bystander, was naturally happy to see this scene unfold.
He estimated that after Beibei said those words, the relationship between him and Tang Ya would basically be broken!
Indeed, when Tang Ya heard Beibei's confession with her own ears, her chest heaved with anger, like surging waves crashing against the shore, roaring loudly!
“Beibei, I never thought you were this kind of person. I truly misjudged you!”
“From now on, you go your way, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge. We'll keep to ourselves and have nothing more to do with each other!”
Tang Ya was so angry she almost lost control. If she hadn't remembered Beibei's past help, she would have slapped him right then and there to make him sober up!
“Tang Ya, how could you say such hurtful things to me!”
“You said it!”
“Fine! Then I, Thunder Beibei, am laying it out here today: either I leave, or he leaves!”
Beibei still wanted to make one last struggle, but he underestimated Huo Yuhao's position in Tang Ya's heart.
“Hmph! If you want to leave, then leave. Little Yuhao certainly isn't going anywhere!”
Tang Ya said with a look of disdain, her arms crossed.
“Alright, alright, alright!”
Beibei glanced at Tang Ya, then swept his gaze over Huo Yuhao, repeating “alright” three times!
Then, without looking back, he walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang Ya watched his retreating figure, hoping so much that Beibei would change his mind and apologize to her and Yuhao!
However, she had hoped for too much. Beibei's speed was very fast, and he disappeared from Tang Ya's sight in just a few breaths.
Seeing Beibei truly leave, Tang Ya's heart suddenly felt as if something was clutching it, causing immense pain.
Tang Ya sank to the ground, tears streaming down her pretty face, and began to sob.
Huo Yuhao, seeing this, quickly knelt down, placed his hands on Tang Ya's shoulders, and comforted her, “Sister, it's not worth being sad over someone like that. You still have me, and I'll protect you!”
Tang Ya looked up at Huo Yuhao, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and choked out, “Thank you!”
Then she tightly gripped Huo Yuhao's sleeve, her face tear-streaked like pear blossoms in the rain, saying, “Brother, it's all my fault, I almost let you…”
“What are you saying, Sister? Am I not perfectly fine?”
Huo Yuhao smiled and wiped away Tang Ya's tears.
Tang Ya shook her head, burying it in Huo Yuhao's embrace and sobbing, “No, you're my brother, and I shouldn't let you get hurt!”
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao gently patted Tang Ya's back and softly stroked her long hair.
He understood that Tang Ya's parents had died when she was young. Although she appeared strong on the surface, deep down, she was quite sensitive and fragile.
That's why she always treated those around her with a strong attitude.
But if one were to delve into her heart, they would find that she truly craved love!
So, Huo Yuhao wanted to give his love to Tang Ya unreservedly, so she wouldn't be alone anymore!
Huo Yuhao gently embraced Tang Ya and whispered in her ear, “Sister, don't be afraid. From now on, if anyone dares to bully you, I'll beat them up!”
“Mhm, mhm!”
Tang Ya nodded heavily, leaning into Huo Yuhao's broad and strong embrace, her mood instantly calming down a lot.
The two of them sat on a large rock and rested for a while. Once Tang Ya's emotions had stabilized, Huo Yuhao took her hand and said, “Sister, come with me!”
“Where are we going?”
Tang Ya asked.
“I found a good spot when I was catching wild chickens this morning.”
Huo Yuhao smiled and led Tang Ya by the hand deeper into the forest. They hadn't walked far when they discovered a haven of peace!
“Wow, the scenery here is so beautiful!”
As Tang Ya got closer, she realized that it was a valley.
The valley was lush with trees, filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and even butterflies fluttered about, like a paradise, breathtakingly beautiful.
“Wow! It’s so beautiful!”
Tang Ya couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, her beautiful eyes filled with envy and adoration!
“If Sister likes it, then I'll stay by your side often from now on!”
Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
“That would be wonderful!”
Tang Ya nodded excitedly, then pointed into the distance and said, “That's a waterfall!”
Huo Yuhao looked in the direction Tang Ya pointed, and indeed, there was a silver cascade pouring down from the mountaintop not far away!
The waterfall's flow was incredibly powerful, and even from a distance, one could faintly hear its thunderous roar as it fell.
“So beautiful!”
Tang Ya's beautiful eyes sparkled. “I really want to jump in and have a comfortable bath!”
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said, “Since Sister wants to bathe, then I'll join you!”
“Ah! How could you…”
Tang Ya froze on the spot, a blush rising on her cheeks.
“Hehe, I'm a gentleman, of course, I have to serve you!”
Huo Yuhao gave a mischievous smile, then reached out to help Tang Ya take off her coat.
Tang Ya quickly clutched her collar, looking flustered. “No! Absolutely not!”
“Why not?”
Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled, then continued, “Sister, don't worry, I won't take advantage of you!”
“I'm just helping you take off your coat, that's all!”
Hearing this, Tang Ya immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but still refused, “No! You're not allowed to touch Sister!”
“Why not?”
Huo Yuhao was even more puzzled. This was a necessary step for a girl's bath!
“Because…”
After a long hesitation, Tang Ya finally mustered the courage to say, “Because you're still young. It won't be too late to let you see when you're older!”
Huo Yuhao was instantly stunned. “No way, are you perhaps afraid that I'll watch you bathe?”
Tang Ya's pretty face turned crimson, and she glared fiercely at Huo Yuhao, saying, “Stop talking nonsense! Are you agreeing or not?!”
Huo Yuhao scratched the back of his head. “Uh, alright.”
“You… you turn around first!”
Tang Ya said, a little embarrassed.
“Oh, alright!”
Huo Yuhao could only follow Tang Ya's instructions, turning around and even taking two steps forward.
Seeing this, Tang Ya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Tang Ya had forgotten the effect of Huo Yuhao's spirit ability!
