Night falls.
Dream Estate.
After showering, Wang Xiaoqiang and Xu Qingxue strolled hand in hand through the estate. The Dream Estate is vast, with modern facilities and natural scenery, making it feel like walking through the mountains.
Gradually, the two reached a grove of trees, with no buildings or servants nearby. Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly placed his hand around Xu Qingxue's waist and mischievously suggested, "Hey, how about we cool off up in a tree?"
"Climb a tree? Are you a monkey?" Xu Qingxue laughed.
Wang Xiaoqiang saw she didn't understand and said, "Monkeys climb trees not just to cool off, you know."
"Monkeys climb trees to gather wild fruits or to avoid danger," Xu Qingxue said seriously.
"What else?"
"And also to play around, of course."
"Then let's climb up and have so fun," Wang Xiaoqiang laughed.
"Aren't we a bit too old to be climbing trees to play?" Xu Qingxue still didn't get what Wang Xiaoqiang was hinting at, as they hadn't played in trees like that before.
"Uh, right, one should enjoy life at every age, and we're not old yet." Wang Xiaoqiang remarked, "What's that? Tree shaking..."
Xu Qingxue finally caught on to Wang Xiaoqiang's double entendre, and her face turned bright red in an instant.
Wang Xiaoqiang's suggestion was too bold, too forward-thinking, and too creative the way it lacked sha. While people do "car shaking" inside a vehicle, he went straight for "tree shaking," right out in the open and even up high for everyone to see!
"Country bumpkin, your thoughts are quite modern, even inventing 'tree shaking'..." Xu Qingxue said sharply, poking Wang Xiaoqiang's forehead with her delicate finger. "Tell , have you done this with soone before?"
Wang Xiaoqiang actually had done 'tree shaking' with soone before, with Jenny in the United States, but he could never admit it now. "No, absolutely not. I swear to the heavens, if I ever did, may I be struck by lightning five tis over."
Honestly, most people wouldn't dare swear such an oath, especially when lying, but Wang Xiaoqiang dared. Not only was he unafraid of lightning strikes now, but he also hoped for them because he could use Heavenly Thunder to refine various cultivation techniques and the Circle of Myriad Phases.
"Hmph, I'll believe you just this once," Xu Qingxue glared at him.
"Oh, so you agree." Wang Xiaoqiang grinned.
"No way. If soone saw us, how could I face anyone afterward?" Xu Qingxue protested bashfully.
Wang Xiaoqiang knew Xu Qingxue was actually a very conservative person, especially concerned about face. Even at night, she wouldn't dare openly play 'tree shaking' with him. But his interest was piqued because playing in a tree had a natural wild charm, more romantic than indoors. So he had a clever idea and subtly waved his hand, instantly releasing the Circle of Myriad Phases from his body. It unfolded in three layers, with myriad things appearing and disappearing, like a small world.
With another wave, a large tree erged from the Circle of Myriad Phases, quietly planting itself in the grove. In the dark, it looked no different from other trees, except it was extraordinarily large, with inward-curving branches resembling a flower bud, with tightly packed leaves forming an airtight shield, akin to a treehouse.
"Huh? Who planted this? So creative, letting it grow into a treehouse!" Wang Xiaoqiang feigned surprise as he approached the tree and gazed at the natural treehouse ford by branches and leaves, marveling in awe.
Following suit, Xu Qingxue also approached, inspecting the treehouse and finding it peculiar because, indeed, the tree was strange or rather ingeniously crafted, with inward-curving branches like a treehouse. It didn't seem naturally grown, appearing more like an artificial tree.
Dream Estate was so large that Xu Qingxue rarely ventured into such secluded areas, even for walks, so even seeing this tree, she wouldn't suspect Wang Xiaoqiang faked it.
Sparked by curiosity, Xu Qingxue touched the tree's bark, confirming it felt like a real tree, not artificial. She even pulled off a piece of bark to sniff it, detecting a distinct, pungent tree odor, clearly a real tree.
"Hey, this tree is nice, just perfect! Let's climb up and take a look," Wang Xiaoqiang suggested enticingly, and without waiting for Xu Qingxue's response, he started climbing. Quickly, he was on the tree, slipping into the gap between the branches, finding the space inside vast, like a tent. It wasn't cramped at all, allowing free movent.
"Hey, Little Qiang, co down," Xu Qingxue called worriedly, still not quite comfortable with the idea.
Poking his head out of the "treehouse," Wang Xiaoqiang, as happy as a monkey, exclaid, "Sweetheart, co on up, it's so much fun in here."
Being called "sweetheart" made Xu Qingxue's heart flutter sweetly, and she was tempted to join, but soon raised a concern in a suppressed voice, "Little Qiang, it's too hot inside, no way."
"It's not hot at all; co up and see for yourself," Wang Xiaoqiang coaxed. As he spoke, he waved his hand, releasing a breeze from the Circle of Myriad Phases. It was a gentle, continuous cool breeze, like air conditioning but without the noise, akin to a natural autumn breeze.
"Don't lie to . Otherwise, see how I'll punish you." After a brief hesitation, Xu Qingxue checked around and, seeing no one else, started climbing up. As a forr police officer, she was adept at climbing trees.
In a few swift moves, she was up and into the treehouse, discovering the space inside was delightfully cool, even more refreshing than air conditioning. She couldn't help but marvel internally.
"Not bad, right? Hehe..." Wang Xiaoqiang laughed proudly.
"It's really nice," Xu Qingxue also smiled, but she still felt uneasy, afraid of being seen.
"No need to worry. This estate is ours; everyone here works for us, and even if they saw, they wouldn't dare say a word. Besides, there's no one around."
Xu Qingxue couldn't shake the feeling of unease, imagining many eyes watching them shyly, trying to suppress her emotions.
Her eyes, usually filled with determination, softened with a mix of love and resentnt, teasing and joy at looking at her man. In the end, unable to resist his gentle persuasion, she finally nodded in agreent...(To be continued.
