I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 234 I Want to Kiss Your Eyes

Snowflakes fell softly from the sky, landing on their heads and shoulders. Bai Ling and Yue walked on the snow, leaving footprints one after another.

Bai Ling held Yue's hand and put both of them into the pocket of his animal skin robe.

Yue was wearing animal skin gloves, and Bai Ling was also wearing animal skin gloves. After Bai Ling put Yue's hands into his pockets, he rubbed the animal skin gloves between his fingers and deftly pulled them off his hands.

Bai Ling used all five fingers to push the glove forward, then pulled his entire hand back. When half of his hand was out of his pocket, Bai Ling found a gap in the glove and stuffed his own hand inside.

The gloves made of animal hide were quite large. With just a little effort, Bai Ling's hand slipped into Yue's glove, his thumb touching Yue's thumb, and his other four fingers were also close to Yue's fingers.

Even though Yue's gloves were loose, five more fingers squeezed in at once, making the gloves feel cramped. Their fingers were pressed together, skin against skin, heat against heat, and body temperature against body temperature, causing the temperature to rise.

Because they were wearing gloves, both Bai Ling and Yue's fingers were warm. Bai Ling placed her hand on top of Yue's palm, her little finger slightly bent, and gently hooked Yue's little finger.

The warm little finger hooked onto the warm little finger, and the temperature immediately rose considerably, becoming scalding hot.

Yue smiled gently. He was neither shy nor evasive. Instead, he raised his little finger and hooked it with Bai Ling's little finger.

The two walked forward hand in hand, little fingers intertwined, the swirling snow only serving as a backdrop to their journey.

The two walked all the way to the foot of the low hill, where figures were moving about. They were orcs from other tribes who lived in caves on the hill and were probably preparing dinner.

The orcs walking on the low hill also saw Bai Ling and Yue. One of the orcs waved to Bai Ling, and Bai Ling also stretched out his hand and waved back at the two of them.

When Bai Ling waved, Yue stood beside him, tilting her head slightly and looking at Bai Ling with a smile.

Bai Ling wore a hat and a scarf, covering her mouth and half of her forehead, revealing only her straight nose, bright eyes, and curved eyebrows.

He had a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of joy as he waved one hand at the orcs on the low hill.

Yue had seen Ling smile countless times—smiles for herself, for her family, for her friends, for her tribe, for strangers, for cubs, for the elderly, for children, for beautiful flowers, lush trees, for the clouds in the sky, for distant mountains, for clear streams, for rushing rivers, for delicious fruits...

Ling's eyes never seemed to hold any sorrow. Even when faced with unsolvable problems, Ling would only feel troubled and depressed for a while before quickly regaining her spirits, and her eyes would shine again.

Ling's smile changes depending on the person or thing he sees. When he looks at himself and smiles, his eyes are bright and sparkling, as if they hold a whole galaxy, a galaxy that has been soaked in sweet water.

When Ling looked at her family, her eyes were warm, like the warmth of a thick animal skin coat in winter.

When Ling looks at the cubs, her eyes light up with affection; when she looks at delicious food, her eyes light up with joy; when she looks at beautiful flowers, lush trees, white clouds, blue sky, clear water, and pure white snow... her eyes light up with appreciation; when she looks at her friends, her eyes light up with gentleness...

No matter what kind of smile Ling has, it is always genuine, without the slightest hint of falsehood. Even orcs who are not familiar with him will be infected by his sunshine and happiness when they see his sincere smile.

What Yue loved most about Ling was Ling's eyes. He absolutely adored the light in Ling's eyes; it was the same light as the sun in the sky—warm, dazzling, and sincere. Even the most aloof person would be melted by the light in Ling's eyes and become Ling's good friend.

However, he was the luckiest, because before others could discover the preciousness of this light, he had already seized it and firmly grasped it in his hands.

Yue hooked her finger around Bai Ling's little finger even tighter. Bai Ling naturally felt it. He waved one last time at the orcs on the hill, then lowered his head slightly and smiled gently at Yue, "Yue, let's go back."

Because of the scarf, Yue couldn't see Bai Ling's smile, but could see the subtle light and burning love in his eyes.

But Yue could imagine that when Ling said those words, his lips would be upturned, and the corners of his lips would curve into a beautiful arc.

This made Yue's lips curl up, and he leaned closer to Bai Ling, almost pressing most of his body against her: "Okay, let's go back."

Yue's "embracing" made Bai Ling even happier. He gripped Yue's fingers tighter, and together they walked towards the tribe.

The snow fell even heavier, covering both of them with a layer of snowflakes, even their eyelashes. Snowflakes fell and melted into water, leaving their eyelashes wet, and tiny water droplets would fall with every blink.

On their way back, they were facing a headwind, and the cold wind, mixed with snowflakes, kept blowing into their faces. Bai Ling walked a little faster, took a small step forward, and shielded Yue with half of her body, thus also protecting Yue from the wind and snow.

This was just a subconscious little action. Loving and protecting Yue was something engraved in Bai Ling's soul. When he saw the wind and snow blowing, Bai Ling didn't even think before standing in front of Yue.

This was just a small matter, and it didn't even leave a ripple in Bai Ling's heart. But Yue didn't think so. He took a step forward, grabbed Bai Ping, and started running.

Bai Ling had no idea what was going on. He didn't ask anything and just ran after Yue.

The snow fell even harder, with countless snowflakes falling from the sky and landing on their heads and bodies. Yue pulled Bai Ling forward for a while, then turned a corner and ran behind a large rock.

The rock was taller than a person. Before Bai Ling could ask Yue why she had come here, Yue pushed him onto the rock. Bai Ling's back hit the rock, but because Yue's movement was not heavy, Bai Ling did not feel any pain. Only a sense of surprise lingered in his heart.

"Yue, what's wrong?" Bai Ling asked.

Yue's breathing was rapid, and glistening water droplets clung to his eyelashes. His icy blue eyes were as clear and bright as if they had been washed with water, filled with a moist and impatient light.

"Ling, I want to kiss your eyes."
