Yue Linze’s face instantly turned red, but Tao Yu had already closed her eyes and missed the moment. Yue Linze stared at her, wanting to speak but ultimately keeping quiet, obediently staying in bed.
Without his interruption, Tao Yu quickly fell back asleep. When she woke up an hour later, she saw Yue Linze listlessly looking at the bed curtains, half his body held by her, not daring to move.
She smiled slightly and gently released his arm. Yue Linze noticed the movement and looked over joyfully: “You’re awake?!”
“Mm, awake. Let’s get up,” Tao Yu said, amused.
Yue Linze happily nodded, shaking his slightly numb arm and getting up. Looking at Tao Yu still sitting on the bed, he said, “Breakfast is too late now. Let’s go to the market to eat something. How about I take you to the lake?”
“Okay,” Tao Yu laughed in agreement.
Yue Linze was happy, but his face gradually reddened, awkwardly saying, “Don’t threaten me with that thing in the future. I want you to give me a child soon, so don’t use that to blackmail me.”
Tao Yu was stunned, momentarily unable to recall what “that thing” was. Finally, through his bashful expression, she understood it was her morning threat.
Tao Yu laughed: “You’re quite enjoying it, aren’t you?”
“N-no!” Yue Linze blushed and retorted.
Tao Yu stopped teasing him: “Alright, I understand. I won’t threaten you with that again, don’t worry.”
“…Mm,” Yue Linze glanced at her and lowered his head to dress.
Tao Yu smiled, remembering the discovery from Zhou Ying’s body, her smile fading slightly. When they were ready to go out, she casually asked, “Where did the person who drowned yesterday die?”
“Why are you asking about this?” Yue Linze was puzzled.
Tao Yu shrugged: “I just thought a place that someone would remember even when drunk must be a good spot.”
“It is a good place. Wei Huan Lake is the most beautiful place in the city. But the Zhou family is mourning there these days, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to go. Let’s go somewhere else,” Yue Linze said with wide eyes.
Tao Yu pursed her lips: “But I want to see Wei Huan Lake.”
“This…” Yue Linze looked conflicted.
