After the two of them finished dinner, Temari held a warm teacup, her gaze unconsciously drifting out the window.
"What are you looking at? Your soul is about to fly out." Shun walked to her side and gently flicked her forehead.
Following her gaze, he smiled. "Do you want to go up to the sky and see? I'll let you 'touch' the moon up close."
Temari suddenly turned around, rubbing her flicked forehead, her eyes shining like they held stars. "The sky? Can we really?"
Her heart was full of anticipation, but she still couldn't help but retort, "But don't you dare wobble. I'm afraid your technique isn't good enough and you'll drop me."
Shun smiled and reached out, deliberately pretending to withdraw his hand. "Oh? Then I won't take you, to save someone from being afraid of falling."
"Hey, no!"
Temari quickly put down her teacup and grabbed his sleeve.
"I was just saying. Your technique is definitely good. Hurry up and take me."
Shun's smile deepened in his eyes, and he gently wrapped an arm around Temari's waist. "Hold me tight, don't fall off."
The two slowly ascended. Temari was a little nervous at first, her hands tightly wrapped around Shun's waist.
Shun deliberately slowed down and teased, "Hold any tighter and you're going to strangle me."
"Hmph, it's all because of you... flying too high."
Temari retorted, but secretly loosened her grip a little, captivated by the sight before her.
The full moon seemed within reach, its silver glow warm on her face.
"Wow! The moon is so big! It looks like I can touch it if I just reach out."
On the sea, the reflection of the full moon gently swayed with the waves, and the silver light sprinkled on the shimmering water, like a handful of scattered diamonds.
Below, in the Land of Water's city, countless lights lit up one after another.
The moonlight and the city lights intertwined, forming a gentle painting.
Shun deliberately flew towards the densely lit area and asked, "Look at the lights below, don't they look like stars fallen to the ground?"
Temari pointed at a dessert shop not far away, her eyes sparkling. "Look at that Sweet Honey shop! The one we went to this afternoon. The lights are still on, do they still have shaved ice?"
"What? You're craving something right after dinner? Do you want to go down and buy some now?"
"No, I was just saying."
Temari reached out and gently pushed Shun's shoulder, but he didn't budge, causing her to sway instead.
Shun quickly steadied her, but she blushed and stubbornly said, "Why are you so sturdy? Your muscles are all hard."
The two flew leisurely, Temari's gaze shifting from the lights to the person beside her.
The moonlight fell on Shun's face, outlining his handsome features and gentle eyes.
She remembered how he wiped the peanut crumbs from the corner of her lips when they were shopping that afternoon, and his small gesture of clinking cups when they drank milk tea. A warmth suddenly surged in her heart.
While he was focused on the green light of the God tree, Temari slightly tiptoed, raised her hand to gently hook his neck, and quickly pressed a kiss on his lips.
This time it wasn't a hasty light touch, but one filled with a girl's earnestness and shyness, her lips lingering for two seconds before parting.
The moment she kissed him, Temari's face flushed crimson. She hurriedly lowered her head, her fingers, which were clutching his sleeve, burning hot.
Being kissed by Temari again made Shun smile slightly, and he gently took her small hand. Her hand was soft, with a thin layer of nervous sweat.
He teased, "You're getting bolder and bolder. Who taught you?"
"No one taught me. I thought of it myself." Temari looked up, her cheeks puffed out in a retort, but the tips of her ears were still pink.
"Besides... I'm not little anymore. Girls in the Land of Wind can get married at 16."
As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest, trying to appear more "mature."
But Shun reached out and pinched her cheek. "Alright, alright, you're not little anymore but you're still a few months shy of 16, little girl."
"You're not allowed to call me a little girl."
Temari slapped his hand away, and didn't forget to retaliate by pinching his chin.
"You're the old one. Lustful uncle, making fun of my age."
Shun laughed at her pinch. "Me, old? If I'm old, can I still take you flying to see the moon, and accompany you to stroll through the shopping district and eat desserts? Try finding someone younger who can do that?"
He deliberately moved a little to the side, pretending to let go of her and asked, "Do you want me to let go of you and let you fly by yourself? Let's see what this 'big girl' of yours can do?"
"Don't... don't!"
Temari quickly hugged his waist, her face even redder, but she still stubbornly said, "You're just saying that. You wouldn't let go of me."
Seeing her shy yet stubborn look, Shun's smile deepened in his eyes.
He stopped teasing her, and instead gently held her hand, rising a little higher towards the moon.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Look at that bright star next to the moon, doesn't it look like it's following us? Do you want me to pick it for you?"
"Pick it? Can you pick a star?"
Temari's eyes lit up, but Shun smiled and shook his head. "How could a star be as bright as you? You're much prettier than any star, why pick a star?"
Temari's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple. She reached out and gently punched his chest. "Hmph! All you do is say sweet things to trick me."
But she quietly leaned even closer to him. The evening breeze carried his aura, making her feel warm inside.
After an unknown amount of time, Temari let out a soft yawn, her eyes showing her sleepiness.
Shun smiled and looked down. "Tired? Then let's go back. If we keep flying, you'll fall asleep in my arms."
"After I fall asleep, you can't bully me. Lustful uncle."
Temari was stubborn, but she still obediently leaned against him.
The two slowly descended, landing in the courtyard of the detached house. The sea buckthorn seedlings glowed with a faint green light under the moonlight, as if welcoming them back.
Temari rubbed her eyes, but still clutched Shun's hand, unwilling to let go. She pulled out a gemstone bracelet and gently tapped his hand.
"Tomorrow... will you still practice Nature Mode with me tomorrow? After we finish, we'll go eat shaved ice. If you go back on your word, I'll hit you with this."
Shun smiled, took her hand, and playfully handled the gemstone bracelet. "Who would dare go back on their word? But this bracelet of yours doesn't hurt at all when you hit someone. How about I get you a heavier one?"
"No! Give me back my gemstone bracelet!"
Temari quickly snatched the gemstone bracelet back and hugged it. "I want this one. Even if it doesn't hurt, it can still remind you."
"Alright, whatever you say."
Shun escorted her to her room door. Temari was about to push the door open. But then, uddenly remembering something, she tiptoed and quickly kissed Shun's lips, pecking like a chick, then swiftly pushed open the door and ran inside.
"Don't call me a little girl, lustful uncle, I'm your fiancée."
