Aarons really didn't know what he wanted.

But not having a wish doesn't mean he doesn't know what to do - what he is doing now is to fulfill the wishes of others.

And he had no complaints about it.

"My wish is not that important."

"Husband, you... forget it, there will be plenty of time for you to think about it later."

Klia didn't have any good solution for this, but fortunately, there was plenty of time in the future.

Aarons will find what he really wants to do sooner or later, and there is really no need to rush now - Her Royal Highness the Princess is very open-minded about this.

"Then you can continue to be busy, my husband. I'm going to talk to Sister Xia Ye about the current revenue and expenditure issues. As for the matter with Senior Sister, you can handle it yourself."

Watching the princess leaving, Aarons felt much more relaxed.

Being able to marry such a noble and generous woman was already a blessing that he could never achieve in either of his two lives - so he didn't dare to ask for more.

But he still has a problem to solve tonight...that is Jiang Yue.

……

Although night is a time for most people to rest, the women in the Aarons' family have very little need for sleep.

Except for Keliya and Mo Qianyun, non-humans or those who have reached level six don't need much sleep - Xia Ye alone can work for ten consecutive days without stopping, not to mention Zhu Ying, who can run for a thousand years without stopping.

Although Jiang Yue had been working continuously for several days, she was actually not particularly tired.

"Marquis, don't you usually drink?"

"I used to drink, but I haven't really drunk much since I came here."

In his previous life, Aarons had a good alcohol tolerance because he often had social events. But after crossing over, he had no chance to drink.

At the beginning, the family was so poor that they wanted to spend every penny. Later, although they had some money, they were busy all day long.

After arriving here, although he had money and more free time, he had no desire to drink at all.

"Well, then the Marquis will have a couple of drinks with me today."

After taking off the white long coat used in the laboratory, Jiangyue changed into clothes that were quite suitable for summer.

The light-colored sleeveless shirt was deliberately left open at the neckline, while the dark-colored shorts perfectly highlighted the curves of the legs - Aarons certainly understood the purpose of such a cool outfit.

But now he can only pretend that he doesn't understand anything.

"Didn't the Marquis come to see me in the afternoon? What did you want to do then?"

"I just wanted to see what you were doing over there... just curious."

"Oh, you'll be able to see it in two days."

While chatting casually about irrelevant topics, Jiangyue took the initiative to fill a glass of fruit wine for Aarons.

——Although Aarons didn’t know what kind of fruit this wine was made from, he felt that the aroma was indeed very soothing.

"What do you think of Qianyun? Ah, I'm not talking about work, I just want to ask what you think of her as a person."

"My opinion... Actually, I'm worried that she's pushing herself too hard."

Because Mo Qianyun's previous experience was indeed distressing, Aarons was worried that her life here would be too stressful.

However, after learning of Aarons' concerns, the sage smiled and shook his head.

"The child is actually very relaxed now, but because of his previous living habits, he hasn't yet mastered the right degree of tension and relaxation."

"That's fine."

"You don't have to worry too much. Just talk to her more. She's just... heh, just a little shy."

After hearing this, Aarons took great effort to finally steady the wine glass in his hand.

Jiang Yue did not dwell on this topic for long, but instead talked about what happened before she met Keliya - at that time, because she could not use magic, she often encountered some troubles that were difficult to solve.

Although a level six body is difficult to be injured, it is still a bit troublesome to be unable to launch an effective counterattack.

"…After all, I am a woman, so of course I will be targeted by men with bad intentions sometimes. Even if they can't hurt me at all, I have seen too many of their despicable tricks."

As they toasted each other, Jiang Yue had unknowingly drunk more than a bottle of fruit wine, and her emotions seemed to begin to fluctuate.

"So, the Marquis is... the first man I've met in all these years who clearly desires me but won't make a move..."

"After all, when you came here, you said that you couldn't forget your ex-husband... I definitely can't just do it casually."

"That's just an excuse I use to deal with other men. And Marquis, you don't know... some men will get even more excited after hearing this reason..."

Because Aarons did have some unrealistic fantasies, he now just felt extremely embarrassed.

After all, I am a man, so of course I will have some random thoughts when I have free time.

"Other nobles don't care about my feelings like you do... But after they knew my actual age and my infertile body, they were not very interested in me."

Before receiving the protection of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Jiangyue's life was not actually very stable.

Having level six but being unable to fight, having countless magical knowledge but being unable to use magic - perhaps only she herself can understand this kind of pain.

"But, not only did you help me regain my magic, you also recognized the value of my existence... and even helped me find the direction to move forward..."

"No, I'm just - Teacher Jiangyue?"

After absentmindedly replying half a sentence, Aarons suddenly realized that there was no sound from Jiangyue.

But when he turned around, he found that the other person had collapsed on the table, with only the sound of steady breathing.

"...Can you hear me, Teacher Jiangyue?"

Jiangyue seemed to have fallen asleep because she drank too much - after realizing this, Aarons immediately stood up.

After gently nudging the sage's body and confirming that she was truly fast asleep, Aarons sighed and slowly picked her up.

Although he felt a little drunk, he didn't want Jiangyue to spend the night here.

"Well, the room is..."

Since he was also a little dizzy, Aarons took a long time to find Jiangyue's room - the sage usually lived in the laboratory most of the time, and his living room was not often used.

After hurriedly opening the door and carrying Jiangyue into the room, Aarons suddenly felt that some subtle changes seemed to have taken place in his body.

——The desire that had been deliberately ignored by me suddenly swelled up in this ambiguous environment.

"Anyway, first..."

Although his head was a little confused, Aarons managed to maintain his sanity - he first gently put Jiangyue in his arms on the bed, then took several deep breaths, and then suppressed the urge to vent his desire at all costs.

This isn't quite right.

"…What on earth is going on with me?"

However, before Aarons could regain his composure, he suddenly found that his body seemed to be pulled by some kind of thread and fell uncontrollably towards Jiangyue on the bed.

The sage, who had been sleeping soundly just now, opened his eyes without any warning, and even stretched out his arms to embrace the fallen Aarons.

"That's because I put something in your drink."

"what?!"

When Aarons fell directly into Jiangyue's arms, he realized that he had made another common sense mistake.

——It turns out that I was being plotted against!

How could a level 6 student be knocked out by alcohol? I subconsciously thought without even thinking about it...

"The moonlight tonight is beautiful. Please put aside your worries and enjoy it."

And when the pair of eyes as clear as the moon came into his eyes, Aarons' last bit of sanity melted away in the moonlight.
