After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

While imagining how to use the ring in the future, the two did not forget to pick fruits along the way.

The main reason was that Su Qinchao wanted to pick them, because he spent most of his time in urban areas in his previous life and had few opportunities to come into contact with wild fruits.

In this life, he was watched closely since he was young, and only went to the farm with his father and mother to escape the heat in midsummer every year.

Only then could he go to the mountains to play with his brother and the children of his tenants.

When I grew up and was able to take care of myself, I was hindered by too many things and no longer had the time.

Even when he occasionally accompanied his children to the mountains to have fun, his original interest was lost because his mind was on his wife and children.

Therefore, now that Meng Yi was in this kind of environment, it was a rare occasion that only Ling Qi was by his side and he didn't have to take care of anyone, so he became a little out of control.

He was like a mouse falling into a rice jar. He wanted to pick every delicious fruit he saw, completely forgetting that he was running out of time and needed to hurry on his way.

Ling Qi on the side naturally would not stop him, as he seldom saw his beloved like this.

Especially when Su Qinchao occasionally picked new wild fruits and happily gave them to him to taste, his eyes sparkled like stars.

In a trance, he seemed to see the innocent face of the girl that he had seen in the poplar forest before.

"Try this one. Although it looks furry, it tastes just as good as the ones you buy at the market." Su Qinchao handed over another wild kiwi fruit the size of a finger.

"Hiss~" Ling Qi took it, broke it open, took a bite, and immediately spit it out.

But it was obviously too late. The unignorable sour taste instantly filled his lips and tongue, and his teeth seemed to be sour.

"Is it really so sour?" Su Qinchao stuffed two sweet wild grapes into his mouth.

Then he pinched Ling Qi's chin and passed the sweet juice over to him bit by bit.

After kissing deeply for nearly a quarter of an hour, Su Qinchao slowly let go of Ling Qi, who was already a little out of breath, and leaned in his arms.

"Are you feeling better?" Her fingers rubbed his waist intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's not that you don't want to... We still have to hurry on our way." Ling Qi only felt that the place where he was being caressed was sore and numb, even more so than the one on his lips and tongue.

Hurry up and grab them to stop causing trouble.

"When I was shopping in the city today, I bought a lot of medicinal oils." Su Qinchao kissed the forehead of the person in his arms again.

Then he leaned his head on the person's neck, whispered something, and hugged the person tightly for a long time before letting go.

...

Jiaoxia County was only thirty miles away from Zhuoguang. By the time Su Qinchao had picked enough wild fruits and they rode to the ferry together, it was only a quarter past three o'clock.

There were no boats docked at the ferry at this time, but there were many people queuing up like them wanting to take a boat.

There are people of all kinds of identities dressed up, including strong men who work hard, commoners with families, scholars traveling with book boxes on their backs, actors dressed exquisitely and beautifully while holding a pipa, and so on.

But the majority of the people are vendors carrying goods, it is bustling and lively.

The two waited patiently for a long time, and then a long queue formed behind them.

When there was still no sign of the boat, he went to find the ferry manager to inquire.

Only then did I realize that this ferry crossing has few people on weekdays, and is only favored by merchants during the spring and autumn floods every year.

Therefore, there are not many ferry boats, only two or three. Recently, one of them is under maintenance and cannot be used normally.

Taking advantage of the flood season, the boat only takes 35 minutes to go there, but it takes an hour and a half to come back.

The two boats have only been out for less than an hour, so they still need to wait patiently.

As the steward spoke, he lit the pipe with a lighter with shaking hands and took a puff from time to time.

Soon, the small room selling boat tickets was filled with smoke, as if it was on fire.

"Thank you." After hearing this, Su Qinchao hurriedly took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it over, then hurried back to Ling Qi.

Then she naturally took his hand, squeezed it, and recounted the situation in detail.

"Not in a hurry." Ling Qi curled his lips slightly, and his originally expressionless, even somewhat cold face instantly became much gentler.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it would be so cheap during the autumn flood." Su Qinchao sighed.

Before, he only knew that taking a boat was faster during the autumn flood season, but he didn't expect it to be this fast.

If they could catch the next trip later, they might be able to spend the night on a merchant ship on the Grand Canal.

The size of merchant ships on the Grand Canal is second only to official ships, and they are not comparable to the small boats of several meters in size at this ferry.

Merchant ships are usually more than twenty feet long and three or four stories high, like houses moving on water.

As long as they have enough money, they can even live in beautifully decorated and luxurious rooms.

At that time, he wouldn't have to endure it anymore, since he wouldn't have to ride a horse during the three days on the ship.

Su Qinchao had beautiful thoughts, and the corners of his mouth widened wider and wider, and in the end he even hummed a song unconsciously.

However, he has always been tone-deaf, even though he realized later that he was humming a popular song from his previous life.

When he suddenly stopped and looked around, he didn't find anything unusual.

No one paid any attention to him, everyone was busy with their own things.

Of course, it’s different for Ling Qi, who has always been paying attention to his sweetheart’s every move.

"Are you thinking about your wife?" Ling Qi opened his eyes, his dark eyes staring at the person in front of him without blinking.

The corners of his mouth were no longer raised, and the hand that was held became a little stiff.

Although the man's humming was a little unclear, he still heard several sentences clearly.

For example: Honey, why aren’t you with me? How much time do we have?

Another example: It is not enough to cope with the distance of not being able to embrace you...

I really envy this man's wife, who can always be thought of by him and can always be by his side with justification.

Live in the same room, and die in the same grave a hundred years later.

"What?" Su Qin looked back in confusion: "No." His mind has always been rather single-minded, and he can't do several things at the same time.

It can be said that whoever is by his side is the only one he has eyes for.

Of course, Yunniang is different in his heart. Apart from his parents and children, she always comes first, even more important than himself.

But he would never miss anyone else in front of his lover, as that would be unfair to them.

He just sang this song for fun, and it didn't have any special meaning.

Is this person jealous?

Su Qinchao wanted to explain a few words, but he heard someone in the team ahead exclaiming:

"The ship is coming! The ship is coming!"

Sure enough, when he raised his eyes and looked over there, he saw two blurry black spots on the river in the distance, slowly approaching this side.

As the river water moved towards the shore, the ripples became clearer little by little.

First the white sails, then the mast, and then the entire hull...

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two ships were docked at the ferry.

"Let's get on the boat first." Su Qinchao held Ling Qi's hand tightly and stared at the team in front which was not small in number.

When they were about to board the second ship which was about to be full, they were stopped by several fast horses galloping from behind.
