“Justice, freedom, you yearn for light.”
“God’s people, God’s people,”
An ancient and noble nation…”
The voice of a young boy’s song drifted far away.
A beautiful and more captivating sound than any instrument in the world entered people’s ears, and it felt like the world had pressed the pause button as everyone stopped what they were doing.
If there were truly sea demons siren in this world, they would not exceed the beauty of Gaia at this moment.
Liu Yu looked at the enraptured crowd around her, feeling like she had been caught up in a large-scale hypnosis.
Fortunately, she was the fastest to wake up
The boy continued to sing:
“God’s people, God’s people…”
She quietly walked over and tugged at his sleeve:
“Gaia, let’s go.”
The delicate features of the boy’s eyes shone even more brightly in the countless stars, and he blinked in confusion:
“Huh?”
“Your skirt is dirty.”
She said softly.
Gaia nodded, and the two of them quietly slipped away from the quiet crowd.
When she walked out from the shore of Lake Bernard, Liu Yu couldn’t help but look back, and everyone was dumbstruck, as if still immersed in the beautiful melody from earlier-
Was this the power of God’s words?
When he sang, the whole world had to quiet down and listen…?
“Gaia, do you ever feel like you’re a bit domineering?”
Liu Yu couldn’t help but ask.
“Domineering? No, I don’t think so.”
“…Oh,” Liu Yu grabbed his hand and, when they passed by a small grove of trees, their steps changed, “Gaia, I don’t want to go back so soon, let’s take a walk nearby, how about it?”
“…God’s people, this place is full of flowers…” Gaia continued humming a song and nodded, “Okay.”
He used his free hand to adjust his collar.
Liu Yu knew the medicine had taken effect.
She had investigated and there was a stone pavilion in the small grove of trees that was usually deserted, and now everyone was at Lake Bernard, so no one would be there.
They walked there, and sure enough, no one was there.
The entire grove of trees was like a deserted city, with nothing except the intermittent chirping of insects.
“Gaia, what’s wrong with you? Your face is so red.”
Liu Yu led Gaia to the stone pavilion and asked him to sit down.
The young boy sat in a daze, his fair skin tinged with a thin blush, exuding heat:
“B-…Bella, I don’t know.”
Liu Yu touched his forehead and then his cheek:
“Ah, you’re so hot.”
The young boy sat on the railing, puffed up his cheeks, and looked up:
“Bella, am I running a fever like a human?”
“Why do you use the term ‘human’? Aren’t you a human?”
Liu Yu avoided this question and sat next to him in the pavilion, with their legs and bodies touching, she could feel the amazing heat coming from him.
“I… I don’t know.”
Gaia began to smile foolishly.
Liu Yu noticed that when he smiled wider, a dimple would appear on his right cheek, which looked childish and cute, very different from his usual self.
She pulled him over and turned her body halfway, kissing his thin cherry-like lips on his right cheek:
“Gaia, I like you.”
The young boy covered his face and blinked.
His eyelashes were long and curled, and his skin was as refined as jade under the moonlight.
She pulled him over again, half-sitting beside him, and their lips met from his cheek:
“I like you.”
The young boy sat stiffly:
“B-… Bella, I feel like my body is going to explode.”
Liu Yu leaned in and whispered softly. She grabbed his hand and covered her own face:
“Gaia, you’re so adorable.”
“Men can’t be called adorable.”
He stuck out his big tongue and shook his head, “B-… Bella, I… I feel something’s wrong.”
“What’s wrong?”
Liu Yu’s voice was soft.
She didn’t kiss him again, she just sat closely beside him. Although it could be said that her actions earlier were involuntary, it wouldn’t be appropriate to go overboard now.
She knew how sensitive Gaia was.
Unlike in TV dramas where amnesia led to mental decline, the true traits that belonged to him would slowly and surely float to the surface, like a floating piece of ice.
“I… I don’t know.”
Gaia shook his head, stood up unsteadily, and walked out, but Liu Yu grabbed him, “Where are you going?”
In the push and shove, the two of them fell to the ground.
The young boy was stiff, not knowing where to put his hands and feet. He wanted to push her away, but halfway there, he retracted his hand.
“I understand.”
He covered his face, “I’m like a human… I… I…”
What did it mean to be like a human…
Liu Yu blinked her eyes.
“Bella, I’m sorry…”
“I didn’t expect that, having drunk too much, I would… I would turn out like this…” Gaia blushed with embarrassment, “B-… Bella, I… I was really disrespectful towards you… please get up quickly, the way I treated you was… incredibly rude…”
Liu Yu also didn’t expect that when Gaia was drunk, or rather, when his rationality left him, he would be like this, a chatterbox, and a struggling one at that.
Extremely cute.
She looked at his face, which was illuminated by delicate moonlight, and said shyly,
“Gaia, you know, I don’t mind if you’re rude to me. I’m very happy…”
