X-Dragon Era

Before this, Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang had feelings for each other, but it was difficult to say it was love. It was a feeling closer to familial affection. If their relationship continued to develop, the two would undoubtedly become a courteous and respectful couple, perfectly matched in every way. However, between them, the passionate love that is the most wonderful and moving between a man and a woman could never be born! Although the difference was just a hair's breadth, it was as wide as a thousand miles. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Though giving Yi Luo Xiang two years of freedom involved a huge risk for Xin Yun—should someone take advantage of her vulnerability, Xin Yun might weep without anyone to witness—it was a risk he had to take.

A girl needs a process to grow from an innocent child to a young woman in the full bloom of youth, usually from around eleven or twelve to sixteen or seventeen. Therefore... Xin Yun suspiciously kept his distance, giving Yi Luo Xiang the freedom to blossom on her own. If Xin Yun remained by her side, Yi Luo Xiang would still have been incomparably beautiful, but it would have been an artificial beauty, sculpted from a mold, an unhealthy beauty, a stunned beauty crafted by Xin Yun.

Now, after two years of freedom, Yi Luo Xiang had matured entirely according to her own wishes, from a naive girl into a budding young woman, thankfully, without any of the dangers that had been anticipated.

Not to mention the past...Xin Yun had grown accustomed to sharing a bed with Yi Luo Xiang, everything was so normal. Going to bed and sleeping together without feeling shy or knowing bashfulness, this was clearly not normal. Being with Xin Yun, all her recognition had to be influenced by him.

Over the past two years, through learning on her own, Yi Luo Xiang finally formed her little secrets, typical of a girl. She learned to be shy and timid, and a young girl's shyness is precisely the most precious, the most beautiful, and the most touching.

The reason Xin Yun did this was actually a gamble. Between men and women, if love cannot develop after a long time, then it can only be a familial relationship. Although their relationship was very good in the past, it was clear it was not the kind of passionate love between a man and a woman that Xin Yun was looking for.

Embracing Xiang Xiang, Yi Luo Xiang, Xin Yun slept blissfully through the night. When he woke up the next day, Yi Luo Xiang was comfortably leaning in Xin Yun's arms, smiling at him with a face that was familiar yet strange, and gradually exuding an absolutely beautiful aura; Xin Yun felt his heart trembling.

Distance creates beauty, indeed... After being apart for so long, their reunion suddenly made their feelings for each other warm, and they underwent a huge qualitative change.

Where specifically things changed, neither Xin Yun nor Yi Luo could say. It was a feeling, very subtle, but very obvious. Similar to familial affection, but utterly different, like water and gasoline, which seem similar but are actually two completely different things. Water cannot be ignited, but gasoline can not only burn, it can even explode!

Looking at each other, neither spoke a word for a long time...who started first or whether it was simultaneous, they once again embraced each other tightly, enjoying the indescribable joy.

Not until the sound of setting utensils came from outside did the two of them reluctantly part, exchanging a smile. Both quickly dressed and left the room.

As they left the room, the door beside them opened, and Yan Qingying walked out gracefully. Yi Luo Xiang couldn't help but praise, "Qingying really is getting prettier and prettier. I often find myself lost in admiration of her beauty."

Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun laughed, shaking his head, "An appreciation for beauty is not confined to gender. Qingying is indeed beautiful. This kind of beauty is universal; your admiration is only natural."

"Ah!" Startled by Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang exclaimed and covered her mouth, "Does that mean you are captivated by her beauty as well?"

Faced with Yi Luo Xiang's question, Xin Yun gave a wry smile and scratched his head, "I can answer you, but do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Hmph!" Pouting her rosy lips, Yi Luo Xiang sulkily said, "I knew it. You're just like those other boys, surely bewitched by Sister Qingying's beauty, head over heels."

"Pfft..." Seeing Yi Luo Xiang's indignant look, Xin Yun couldn't help laughing. Shaking his head helplessly, he leaned close to Yi Luo Xiang's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, you definitely won't be less beautiful than her in the future,

"Really!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang's eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Xin Yun sighed. It seems this girl, no matter how smart, still cared so much about her looks. But upon further consideration, it made sense. The desire for beauty is the common vanity of girls. Conversely, girls who do not care for beauty become the anomaly, the abnormal ones. (To be continued.
