In a lush green bamboo forest, a small figure was walking on the gravel path, his two long black braids fluttered in the wind as he moved, the natural fragrance and fresh air made his mood even more refreshing.
Walking to a fragrant lotus pond, around the lake surface there were also quite a few large rocks protruding from the water, if you were not careful you would fall, but who was Rover, in terms of agility and flexibility, he was the best.
Be proud!!
Unable to hold back any longer, Rover nimbly jumped onto a rock, seeing that it was safe, he turned around and jumped onto another rock, each time Rover jumped he would tightly hug the bag full of dumplings, while his little mouth was also holding one.
Miraculously, the dumplings did not fall while he was jumping on the rocks.
Rover himself was extremely happy, how long had it been since he had been able to freely play like this, the more he thought about it the more he felt extremely extremely refreshed~
Unconsciously, Rover let go of all his usual vigilance and focused on immersing himself in this small joy, not noticing that in the distance, there was a tall young man quietly observing him.
Qiuyuan didn't expect that he just wanted to find a comfortable place to fish, but who would have thought that he would actually see the rumored hero, it was indeed just like the rumors.
He was so radiant, sparkling like a star and shining like the sun.
Causing a small wave to ripple through his originally calm heart, Qiuyuan could only stand still and take in the scene in his heart.
Not knowing when Rover had jumped onto the rock near where Qiuyuan was standing, it seemed like his gaze was staring at him too intensely, so Rover turned around and jumped onto the next rock, his golden eyes searching for that strange gaze.
Qiuyuan came back to his senses when he caught the boy's curious gaze shooting towards him, his eyes widened, for some reason he felt that the other person's cheeks were a little red.
Before he could think much, Qiuyuan suddenly saw the black-haired person in front of him suddenly fall backwards, seemingly slipping, his instinct told him to run over and support that person.
' Oh shit, I was just subconsciously looking at a handsome guy, don't fall, please don't fall!!'
This was Rover's thought as he was about to fall into the lotus pond, silently lamenting that he had poured a bag full of buns into the water after just one moment of looking at a handsome man.
Rover closed his eyes and accepted his fate of losing face in front of that handsome man he didn't know.
The chill he had imagined didn't come, he only felt a large arm wrap around his waist and pull him back.
" Are you okay?"
Qiuyuan didn't do anything rash because of the moment of hugging that small waist, he let go of his hand and placed it on Rover's messy black hair, rubbed it a few times before letting it go, not missing the admiring gaze of the person in front of him.
" Hmm... Chank yu... this i jo yu... "
Rover was stunned by one surprise after another, he could only say thank you unconsciously, forgetting that there was still a bun in his mouth, he absentmindedly took one from his pocket and gave it to the person who saved him.
" Pff!"
That funny scene made even a quiet person like Qiuyuan laugh, Rover woke up when he heard that giggle, realizing how stupid his actions and voice were, his face turned red, a hot steam rose from the top of his head.
' Adorable...' Qiuyuan chuckled, this was worth it.
" Then thank you for treating me to something delicious."
A pair of large hands reached up to grab the dumpling that was in Rover's mouth, pulled it out, and brought it to his own mouth to bite at the place where his teeth were.
Rover was stunned by that action, his language system was in chaos, until the tall figure turned around and left, he hurriedly called out.
" W-wait! At least tell me your name!!"
Qiuyuan's footsteps stopped, he glanced back, smirking while holding the dumpling to his lips in one hand, and the other hand holding the fishing rod, he answered.
" Qiuyuan, just a lone wayfaring swordsman."
" Then- Aah!!"
Rover was about to say something when a strong wind blew in, forcing him to close his eyes, keeping his body from falling again, waiting until the wind stopped before opening his eyes.
The person in front of him was no longer there, appearing strangely just like when he left,
Rover pouted, suddenly remembering his shameless actions just now, he crouched down, both hands tightly hugging the bag of buns, his red face buried in that softness.
" Ugh... So handsome, but such a strange personality... Qiuyuan..."
