Part 10
"Then you should pay attention to it in the future. Your hearing is really excellent," Li Yong said.
The girl didn't seem to care, and seemed unwilling to continue the conversation.
This was unusual for her.
Most girls love to talk about their own strengths, eager to draw everyone's attention to themselves. But this girl didn't.
She shifted her attention to Li Yong's face.
"Let me wash your face," she said.
Li Yong refused.
"No, no, I'll do it myself," Li Yong said.
"Don't be shy, let me do it. You don't have a mirror, you don't know where it's dirty, I'll wash it for you," the girl said.
Li Yong did have a small mirror in his bag.
But even with a small mirror, the lighting was not good.
Li Yong found an excuse to let the girl wash his face.
They squatted by the stream, and the girl washed Li Yong bit by bit in the moonlight.
Li Yong was like a little baby, letting the girl do whatever she wanted.
But even after washing his face, the girl didn't let go, holding Li Yong's face and looking at it all over.
Li Yong was not very confident about his face.
Although he was not ugly, he was not handsome either.
"Sorry, I'm a little ugly," Li Yong said, apologizing to the girl first.
The girl's lovely eyes widened.
"I'm not ugly, you are very handsome," the girl said.
"No, not handsome, not handsome."
"He's quite handsome, but," the girl stopped talking.
"But what?" she said with a playful smile.
"But, not as handsome as before," she said.
Why?
He'd just washed his face, so it should be better.
"No, not as handsome as before, there's a little blood on your face, which makes you look even more handsome," she said.
Jiulang was in love, and the girl was interested.
Things were naturally going smoothly.
In the grove, the two of them quickly became close.
The girl was passionate and unrestrained, and Li Yong was also smoldering, his passion growing stronger and stronger.
But when Li Yong wanted to take it a step further, the girl always held his hand tightly.
The girl smiled, but her attitude was firm.
"What's wrong?" Li Yong asked.
The girl kissed him, then answered him.
"Nothing," she said.
"Nothing yet, why don't you let me love you properly?" Li Yong said.
The girl tried to act like a lady, although she didn't quite succeed.
"Don't move too fast," she said.
But the rapid progress wasn't due to Li Yong. It was the girl who first showed her passion and unrestrainedness, arousing Li Yong's passion, and then she put the brakes on.
Li Yong kissed her vigorously for a while before speaking.
"It's not going very well," Li Yong said.
"Is it not going very well?"
"Not very well," Li Yong said.
He tried to persuade her, and the girl seemed somewhat convinced.
But at the critical moment, she always burst out laughing.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Yong asked.
The girl kept laughing.
"Nothing, nothing, I'm just, uh, a little embarrassed," she said.
How could such a bold girl be embarrassed?
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. There's no one else in this little woods, so why should I be embarrassed?" Li Yong said.
The girl pointed to a place with a laugh.
It was the little creature.
The little creature was leaning against a tree trunk, its eyes fixed on them.
Li Yong waved at the little creature.
"Please, go somewhere else for a while, give us some privacy," Li Yong said.
But the little creature didn't move.
It didn't move, so Li Yong and the other two had to move.
They went to a farther place, trying to avoid the little creature's gaze.
But how could they avoid it?
Soon, the little creature also came over, staying not far away, staring at them again.
It was deliberately trying to ruin Li Yong's plans.
However, there was nothing he could do.
Even Li Yong felt that under the little creature's gaze, he had to be cautious about everything he did.
"It's really interesting. It's not afraid of people. Wherever we go, it follows us there," Li Yong said.
"Yes," the girl said.
Li Yong bowed to the little creature.
"Please, please step aside," Li Yong said.
The little creature ignored him.
Li Yong could only smile bitterly.
"Bad guy," Li Yong said.
The girl immediately agreed.
"That's right, it's a bad guy," the girl said.
The little creature seemed to understand and actually moved its eyes away.
"Look, it's angry," Li Yong said.
"It's angry, so be it. Don't worry about it. Come, let's kiss again," the girl said.
Li Yong was happy to obey.
He hugged the girl in his arms again.
Slowly exchanging sweet words and kissing each other, Li Yong fell asleep leaning against a tree.
When he woke up again, it was already getting light.
The girl beside him was gone, probably busy with something. But the little creature was still there, leaning against a tree trunk not far away, staring straight at him.
