The River Gods Bridegroom

I quickly covered my mouth and pressed myself against the bridge.

From Xie Yu’s direction, he shouldn’t have been able to see me.

But under the streetlamp, I saw his gaze turn towards my direction.

His dark eyes remained indifferent and unreadable.

I relaxed, figuring he hadn’t seen me.

Xie Yu’s voice resumed in the night: “Mm.

“I’ll consider it.”

The girl was clearly overjoyed, clinging to Xie Yu and chattering incessantly.

They left.

Standing side by side, they looked just like a couple deeply in love.

Cicadas chirped, and the moonlight was impossibly gentle.

Suddenly, I…

Felt a little envious.

Why can I perceive human joys and sorrows so clearly?

Am I really feeling lovesick?

I grabbed the toad from earlier and gave it a good beating.

The toad cursed at me: “Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely!!!”

Furious, I threw it far away.

Then I squatted under the bridge, contemplating my divine life.

An arc flashed before my eyes, and a white object fell into the water.

My eyes lit up: “Work’s here!”

I slowly rose from the river surface: “Oh, young sir, did you drop this golden lump? Or this silver lum… lump?”

How could it be Xie Yu?!
