God's Gift

"Yeah!" Yu Youyou hugged the dragon's neck and nodded heavily.

Lu Keming looked back at Yu Youyou, flapped his huge wings, circled twice above the garden, and then flew into the endless night sky.

The hurricane created by the dragon's wings knocked down the tender zoysia in the garden, and the sky full of fireflies swayed in the wind and scattered to both sides.

Yu Youyou hugged Lu Keming tightly with both hands, looked up at the shining stars in the night sky, and shouted excitedly:

"We're going to heaven!"

There was irrepressible joy in her voice, and the joyful and unrestrained sound was carried through the wind into the dragon's ears. The dragon sped up and gradually moved away from the ground in the bright moonlight.

The wind blowing in her face lifted the curly hair beside Yu Youyou's cheeks. She looked down at the ground that was getting smaller and smaller, her star-like eyes full of surprise.

The world is getting smaller and they are moving away.

Endless fields, dark forests, mottled moonlight, and deep blue night.

Yu Youyou smiled, loosened her arms, and embraced the night sky vaguely.

"Lu Keming, I hugged the stars!"

"Yeah." Lu Keming chuckled, and the stars in the night sky were reflected in his golden eyes.

He flapped his dragon wings, and the wind created transformed into singing sparrows and countless surrounding petals around Youyou.

Yu Youyou withdrew her hand, opened her eyes wide, and looked curiously at the petals and birds surrounding her.

She stretched out her hand and touched the white birds surrounding her with her fingertips.

The moment the fingertips touched the bird, the petals condensed by mental power dispersed, and then lingered and condensed again.

"Lu Keming, your mental power can really turn you into a bird." Yu Youyou hugged Lu Keming's neck again, her voice full of surprise.

Lu Keming smiled slightly and continued to fly upwards with Yu Youyou. Countless flower petals and birds surrounded them and flew to the sky together.

Yu Youyou's bright eyes reflected everything around her, the corners of her mouth stretched into a wide grin, and she laughed happily.

It was not until Lu Keming flew over a lonely cloud in the sky that the air became thinner and the wind became much colder, and then he began to flap his wings much slower.

The cold wind blew across her cheeks, but Yu Youyou seemed not to feel the cold. She looked up at the sky with an eager heart and sincerity.

“This is the first time I’ve been so close to the stars.”

Lu Keming carried Yu Youyou on his back and slowly flew in the night sky. He listened carefully to Yu Youyou's words and responded:

"There will be many more times in the future, if you want."

Lu Keming's voice paused for a second, and then he flew over a cloud, his voice slow and gentle.

"We will have plenty of time. Everything you want to see, touch, listen to, and try, we can do it one by one."

"Okay!" Yu Youyou responded enthusiastically, staring up at the night sky.

His sharp dragon claws clenched a little, his golden eyes dimmed a little, and he continued in a very light voice:

"So, let's be together forever."

Yu Youyou replied without looking back: "We are together now."

Lu Keming turned his huge head and looked at Yu Youyou. Yu Youyou's smiling face was in his golden eyes. He spoke in an inaudible voice.

"Different."

“Hmm?” But Yu Youyou still caught this slight sound. She doubtfully withdrew her gaze from the night sky and turned to look at Lu Keming, saying in a puzzled voice: “What’s the difference?”

Lu Keming stared at Yu Youyou motionlessly, and his low voice passed through the cold wind and reached Yu Youyou's ears.

"We still need a wedding."

"Eh?" Yu Youyou asked subconsciously in confusion. Just as she was about to continue asking Lu Keming about the wedding, Lu Keming folded his wings.

Lu Keming's wings retracted, and the scales on his body sank into his skin, gradually returning to human form.

They swayed in the air for a few times, and then fell down together.

The feeling of weightlessness instantly enveloped her whole body. Yu Youyou widened her eyes and panickedly tried to grab Lu Keming's hand below.

Lu Keming looked at the hand that Yu Youyou extended to him. A smile appeared in his eyes that sparkled like gems. He reached out and grabbed Yu Youyou's hand.

The cold wind whistled past her ears. Yu Youyou steadied her shaky body and held Lu Keming's hand tightly.

Lu Keming was not panicked at all, as if he was not the one falling. He looked up at Yu Youyou above him, with a gentle smile on his lips. In the fierce cold wind, he repeated:

"Yuyu, let's be together forever."

They were meant to be together.

In this terrible world, he suffered a lot of hardships, but he still lingered on and refused to die. Perhaps, it was just for the present.

She came with spring and warm sunshine, and with just a smile, she dispelled all the misfortunes in his life.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou who was trying to hug him, his eyes sparkling and he sighed softly.

But after all, he has half human blood and cannot escape the constraints of this world.

No.

He took the initiative to walk into this cage, offering his neck willingly, asking her to imprison him in her world.

He urgently needed to obtain a proof that he and his god would be together forever.

Lu Keming opened his arms, hugged Yu Youyou's warm body, and whispered in a very tender and lingering voice:

"You tamed me, Yuzu."
