Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries Chapter 495: An Ingenious Surprise

Lu Zechuan looked up at the sky.

The setting sun hung low on the horizon, with the evening glow spread across the river, reflecting a shimring light on the water, both river and sky tinged red, appearing exceptionally beautiful.

Lu Zechuan, while reeling in the fishing rod, gently said, "I give up."

His expression was serene, and his tone gentle.

His brows and eyes carried a touch of affection.

Xia Mian’s heart ward inadvertently; Lu Zechuan would only compromise and indulge her so unconditionally.

Xia Mian took the fishing rod, with Lu Zechuan carrying two buckets of fish, as they found an open area to prepare for grilling fish.

As expected, Lu Zechuan was well-prepared, even bringing along so seasoning supplies.

The once aloof and untouchable young master of the Lu Family was now chopping wood, building a fire, with not a hint of aloofness about him.

What remained was only an enthusiastic spirit, a dedication to cooking for the beloved person.

By the riverside at dusk, the bonfire roared, smoke rose, and on the grill, a fat fish was being roasted to a crisp and tender state, emanating an enticing aroma.

Lu Zechuan took down the grilled fish and placed it on another rack, "Let it cool a bit before eating, be careful not to burn yourself."

Xia Mian responded softly with a hum, resting her chin on her hands, blinking her eyes as she watched Lu Zechuan grill fish.

The evening breeze blew, slightly cool, yet Xia Mian didn’t feel cold.

The fire burned vigorously, emitting a crackling sound.

As the wind blew, the flas tilted slightly, bringing a serene and fateful beauty.

The aroma of grilled fish occasionally wafted into her nostrils, making Xia Mian’s stomach grumble uncontrollably.

Lu Zechuan’s gaze softened a bit, "You can eat now."

Xia Mian, following suit, took the grilled fish, picking at the at bit by bit.

The wild fish, with its exceedingly delicious at, made Xia Mian try so more, tearing off a piece to offer Lu Zechuan, "You try so too."

Lu Zechuan instinctively opened his mouth, eating the piece of fish at.

The taste was indeed good, especially when fed by Xia Mian, it felt even more wonderful.

After feeding Lu Zechuan a bite, Xia Mian started to eat by herself.

A not-so-large fish was quickly eaten by Xia Mian, leaving only a fishbone.

Lu Zechuan watched affectionately as Xia Mian ate, getting a "cat face," shook his head helplessly, then handed over another freshly grilled fish, "Here."

Xia Mian accepted it without hesitation, blowing on it while gnawing away.

Her face was oily and black, looking more like a cat caught stealing food.

The wind was gentle, the water flowed, within a hundred-mile radius, not a soul but them.

This undisturbed date was what Lu Zechuan had been longing for a long, long ti.

Once they were full, night had completely fallen.

In the early spring by the water’s edge, the wind blowing over was cold.

Lu Zechuan took out a wet wipe he carried with him, gently cleaning Xia Mian’s face and hands, "Let’s get back to the car!"

If it weren’t for both he and Xia Mian being not quite normal people, he wouldn’t dare to bring Xia Mian out to play like this.

After all, normally people would catch a cold after being in the wind all day.

Xia Mian responded, and after the two cleaned up the ss they made, they held hands and returned to the car.

"Initially, I even prepared a large tent." Lu Zechuan, sitting in the driver’s seat, said with so regret, "But, in this weather, if we camped outside, others might think we are crazy."

Xia Mian couldn’t help but smile.

Indeed, camping outside in this weather could very likely lead others to think you’re not ntally stable.

"Let’s go back!" Xia Mian lazily yawned, having found much joy today both in play and in food.

Lu Zechuan murmured in agreent, but he didn’t move.

His gaze was fixed on the front windshield, seemingly looking at sothing special.

Xia Mian followed his gaze to see sothing flying over the water’s shimring surface.

Those things flying emitted a glow, like countless stars scattered over the water.

Xia Mian furrowed her brow in suspicion, "What is that?"

Under Xia Mian’s suspicious gaze, those glowing things gradually ford a line of words over the water.

"Xia Mian, I love you."

Five words, shining brilliantly on the water like neon lights.

Xia Mian stared wide-eyed in astonishnt, mouth agape, looking at Lu Zechuan in disbelief.

Lu Zechuan, on the other hand, was joyfully waiting for Xia Mian’s praise.

Xia, the straightforward girl, Mian instead stared at Lu Zechuan with a curious-baby face after being dumbfounded, "How did you do this?"

Lu Zechuan blinked, looking baffled.

He went through so much effort to give Xia Mian this surprise, why wasn’t she moved?

Why didn’t she hug him back and say she loved him too, but instead asked how he did it?

Does it matter?

Lu Zechuan sulked a bit, turning his head gloomily, asking, "Does it matter?"

Xia Mian blinked, realizing from her big-brain blank out that Lu Zechuan was unhappy.

Xia Mian reached out, gently covering Lu Zechuan’s big hand, tilted her head, and smiled at him, "Lu Zechuan, I love you too."

Even more than her own life.

Xia Mian’s words floated into his ears, and Lu Zechuan imdiately burst into a smile.

Xia Mian said she loved him, too.

She loves him!

Lu Zechuan smiled like a fool, his eyes filled with bits of happiness and contentnt.

"I perford a little magic." Lu Zechuan said triumphantly, "I used the cultivation technique of our Wood Clan to find so fireflies..."

Xia Mian blinked with an honest face, "Lu Zechuan, there are no fireflies this season..."

"That’s why I used magic..." Lu Zechuan raised his hand, scratching his head, "Don’t worry, I’ll use magic again to send them back, I won’t let them die here."

These fireflies witnessed his love for Xia Mian, and in the future, he will keep these little things and let them out every year for a stroll.

Xia Mian looked at the little creatures on the water again.

Things that obviously shouldn’t appear in this season, after appearing briefly, were already starting to beco unaccustod to the environnt, gradually dispersing into countless light dots over the water.

Lu Zechuan lightly moved his fingers, as if the light dots were being guided sowhere, flying in one direction.

"Let’s go back too!" Lu Zechuan said softly.

Xia Mian gave a soft "Mhm," adjusting her seat to a comfortable position, "I want to rest for a while, call when we get ho."

Lu Zechuan nodded, started the car, and drove away from the riverbank.

As Xia Mian closed her eyes, planning to rest for a while, sothing on her seed to flash.

Lu Zechuan let out a sound of confusion, glancing at Xia Mian from the corner of his eye.

This light seed to be emitted from that soul bag.
