"Yes, I said it," Tang Ziyuan looked at Lin Hao and said calmly.
However, this calmness was forced.
At this moment, her heart was extremely tense.
She didn't even dare to look at Lin Hao.
But to avoid revealing her true feelings, she could only pretend to be calm.
Moreover, she had already decided that once they went down, she would "eat" Lin Hao by any means necessary.
Otherwise, if Lin Hao went back and dove down again to get the ambergris, then her painstaking efforts to lure Lin Hao so far away to this remote place would be in vain.
"Alright."
Lin Hao nodded, then stood up and leaped down.
He just wanted Tang Ziyuan to finish speaking as soon as possible and then go back.
It took forty to fifty minutes to get back from here.
One round trip would take at least two hours.
The Heavenly Pool was where the sky darkened early.
By then, he would only have about two hours to act.
Thinking about this, Lin Hao couldn't help but look up at Tang Ziyuan and say, "I'm down now. Say what you need to say."
"Wait a moment, I... I want to go down too," Tang Ziyuan said to Lin Hao somewhat unnaturally.
"You want to go down too?" Lin Hao looked at Tang Ziyuan, confused.
However, he was too lazy to ask. All he wanted now was for Tang Ziyuan to finish speaking quickly and for him to return quickly.
"Do you need my help?" Lin Hao looked at Tang Ziyuan.
The height here was still considerable, and Lin Hao was afraid Tang Ziyuan would sprain her ankle when she jumped.
It would be a minor issue if Tang Ziyuan sprained her ankle, but it might delay his return.
Therefore, to be safe, Lin Hao thought it was better to help Tang Ziyuan, so she wouldn't sprain her ankle when she jumped.
Tang Ziyuan looked at Lin Hao, her heart filled with immense tension.
She instinctively wanted to say no, but a thought suddenly crossed her mind, and she felt this was an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Tang Ziyuan looked at Lin Hao and said somewhat stiffly, "Then catch me."
"Don't worry, just jump. I can definitely catch you," Lin Hao said to Tang Ziyuan.
Actually, Lin Hao was a little surprised.
He had expected Tang Ziyuan to refuse. After all, given Tang Ziyuan's personality, 99.999% of the time she would refuse.
But he didn't expect Tang Ziyuan to agree.
Of course, it was better if she agreed, saving him trouble if she sprained her ankle later.
"Hold on tight, I'm coming down," Tang Ziyuan said to Lin Hao.
Actually, she hadn't intended to say this, but to relieve her tension, she couldn't help but say it.
After speaking, Tang Ziyuan gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and jumped down fiercely.
Lin Hao, looking from below, was stunned.
With such a small height, was it necessary?
Why did it look like she was jumping off a cliff to her death?
However, despite being stunned, Lin Hao's movements were not slow.
He quickly reached out and caught Tang Ziyuan.
The moment he caught Tang Ziyuan, Lin Hao felt a little uncomfortable and prepared to put her down quickly.
But just then.
Tang Ziyuan suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around Lin Hao's neck.
Then, Tang Ziyuan's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.
In that instant, Tang Ziyuan felt her heart about to leap out of her throat.
She had never been so close to a man in her life, let alone actively wrapped her arms around a man's neck.
She trembled all over with nervousness and didn't even dare to open her eyes.
But she knew that success or failure depended on this moment.
If she just held Lin Hao's neck like this and didn't take the next step, this endeavor would likely end in failure.
No!
She could only succeed, not fail!
Tang Ziyuan encouraged herself and, suppressing her nervousness, slowly opened her eyes.
She remembered that in the TV shows she had watched before, after the women hugged the men's necks, they would actively kiss them.
However, she had never even held a man's hand since she was a child. She really didn't dare to kiss a man now.
Tang Ziyuan had expected everything to go smoothly. She thought she would have the courage to kiss Lin Hao after opening her eyes.
But to her surprise, after opening her eyes, she was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe.
She didn't even dare to move her eyeballs, just staring at Lin Hao with wide eyes.
At the same time.
In this moment, Lin Hao was also stunned!
After catching Tang Ziyuan, he had intended to put her down.
But just as he was about to let her go, Tang Ziyuan suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.
In that instant, Lin Hao's brain short-circuited.
Immediately after, Lin Hao saw Tang Ziyuan slowly open her beautiful, watery eyes.
Lin Hao looked at Tang Ziyuan, his heart rate almost instantly soaring to three hundred and sixty.
In this instant, Lin Hao didn't even dare to breathe.
He looked at the beautiful Tang Ziyuan, feeling his mind buzzing, his brain completely blank.
After staring at Tang Ziyuan like an idiot for a while, Lin Hao suddenly came to his senses.
Upon realizing what was happening, Lin Hao felt a wave of awkwardness and was about to put Tang Ziyuan down.
But at this very moment.
Just as Lin Hao was about to let go, Tang Ziyuan suddenly looked up, and her rosy lips instantly pressed against Lin Hao's mouth.
"Boom!"
Lin Hao felt a thunderclap in his mind, instantly stunning him on the spot.
Then, startled, Lin Hao immediately wanted to push Tang Ziyuan away.
But just as he was about to act, he suddenly felt a warmth in his mouth.
In this instant, Lin Hao felt a heavy blow to the depths of his soul, causing his entire body to tremble uncontrollably.
Then, in the next second, he succumbed...
...
The sun was bright, and the lake water was azure blue.
The water of the Heavenly Pool rustled with the gentle breeze.
Lin Hao sat on the ground, looking at Tang Ziyuan, whose face was flushed like a ripe apple, and said awkwardly, "I understand how you feel, and I know what you mean."
"However, this kind of thing cannot be forced."
Lin Hao finally woke up from his daze.
After regaining his senses, Lin Hao completely understood Tang Ziyuan's intentions.
However, although he and Tang Ziyuan hadn't reached the final step, they were very close.
Therefore, after waking up, Lin Hao still felt very awkward facing Tang Ziyuan.
Tang Ziyuan was also blushing, looking at Lin Hao with a mix of shame and anger!
She never expected that at the crucial last step, when success was imminent, Lin Hao would actually push her away.
And he pushed her away so decisively. In that moment, she even doubted if Lin Hao was impotent.
But after stealing a glance at "Little Lin Hao," she understood.
However, after understanding, her anger only grew.
Could he really endure this? Was Lin Hao still a man?!
Did she look so ugly that she had no appeal at all?!
