Chapter 67: Milk Tea’s Night Attack (2/2)

Since that was the case… go all out!

Noticing the figure approaching gradually, Shen Cheng’s eyes widened in anger. His legs suddenly exerted force, and he sprang out of the sleeping bag like an arrow leaving the bowstring, sending Xue’er flying a good distance away as well.

Though his speed was as fast as lightning, his landing was silent. In an instant, Shen Cheng steadied himself and then lunged at the figure.

“Bang!”

“Oof—”

After pinning the figure’s wrists to the ground, Shen Cheng suddenly heard a familiar soft whimper, much like that of a wounded small animal. However, it was quickly stifled by the owner.

Shen Cheng froze for a moment. Feeling the smooth and delicate sensation in his hands, he looked down at the figure’s face.

With the help of his night vision, Shen Cheng clearly saw that Milk Tea was now looking at him with tearful eyes, pitifully lying beneath him. Her wrists were still being tightly pressed to the ground by him: “Master… it hurts…”

Shen Cheng was mortified. He immediately let go and moved aside, stammering, “Uh… Milk Tea, I’m sorry… I…”

Xue’er, who had been thrown aside, angrily ran to Shen Cheng’s feet and started biting his pant leg.

Milk Tea, blushing, sat up from the ground, rubbed her reddened wrists, and turned her head away, saying, “You can’t really blame Master… after all, it was my fault for sneaking in…”

“Ahem!” Shen Cheng awkwardly cleared his throat, forcefully changing the topic: “How about… we go outside and look at the stars? Huihui said the night sky here is beautiful.”

“…Okay…”

…

The night sky was like a vast board, with dazzling stars scattered across it like chess pieces. The sky was filled with countless stars, seemingly competing with the bright moon hanging in the center.

Milk Tea stared in awe, her tail swaying back and forth behind her.

“Heh…” Shen Cheng, holding Xue’er in his arms, chuckled softly and remarked, “You can’t see this kind of scenery in the city… or rather… this kind of atmosphere.”

“Atmosphere?” Milk Tea slowly returned from her daze.

“Yeah, the environment you’re in, the mood you have, or even who you’re with, all of these affect how you perceive the scenery.” With a gentle smile on his face, Shen Cheng spoke softly.

Hearing this, Milk Tea couldn’t help but glance at Shen Cheng.

The secluded setting, her joyful mood, and being with her master…

Looking at Shen Cheng’s profile, Milk Tea momentarily forgot about the endless starry sky, only staring at him in a daze.

“Alright, let’s head back. Even though it’s beautiful, we can’t touch it.” Shen Cheng didn’t notice Milk Tea’s unusual behavior, thinking the mood had relaxed enough. He yawned and started walking back.

“…You can touch it.” Milk Tea’s sudden words made Shen Cheng pause and turn back, puzzled: “Touch it?”

“Yes, you can touch it!” Milk Tea stared directly at Shen Cheng, her eyes sparkling like the stars behind her: “Master, close your eyes.”

“Alright.” Seeing the unusual expression on Milk Tea’s face, Shen Cheng smiled faintly and obediently closed his eyes.

The next moment, a fragrant breeze swept toward him, and Shen Cheng immediately felt a soft warmth pressed tightly against his chest.

Before Shen Cheng could react, he suddenly felt a warm, faintly fragrant sensation on his lips.

The touch lasted only a brief moment. Shen Cheng opened his eyes, slightly dazed, just in time to see Milk Tea lowering her tiptoes, now only a short distance away.

Unlike Sugar, who had run away, Milk Tea took two steps back, clasped her hands behind her back, and smiled with narrowed eyes: “Not only did I touch it, I kissed it! The star that’s the brightest, most radiant, even warmer than the sun, the one that brings me endless hope!”
