After washing her face and feet, Xu Zheng took off her outer skirt and lay down on the bed.

Pei Xuanxi was afraid that she would feel restrained, so he put a screen in the middle before sleeping on the couch.

Xu Zheng herself didn't care. She privately thought that Pei Xuanxi would not do anything.

"Pei Xuanxi, come here." Xu Zheng shouted at him.

Pei Xuanxi walked forward, still a few steps away from her bed: "What's wrong with Azheng?"

Xu Zheng waved her hand: "Why are you so far away from me?"

Pei Xuanxi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, walked up and sat down beside her bed.

Xu Zheng bent her knees and propped up her face with her hands: "What should I do? I can't sleep. I slept too long in the afternoon."

Pei Xuanxi reached out and tidied up her hair, then said with a smile, "Then I'll chat with A Zheng."

Xu Zheng clapped her hands: "Okay, Pei Xuanxi, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty-five." Pei Xuanxi was stunned. He didn't expect her to ask this.

Xu Zheng seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Don't people here get married very early?"

Pei Xuanxi raised his lips: "A Zheng, you mean getting married? I don't have parents, so I'm not restricted in this regard."

Xu Zheng suddenly felt that she had said something wrong. She waved her hands in panic: "Oh, sorry. I was just curious and wanted to ask..."

Pei Xuanxi laughed out loud. He reached out and touched Xu Zheng's head, saying, "Zheng, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me. I won't blame you no matter what you say."

Xu Zheng felt the warmth of his palm and felt a little embarrassed. She asked, "Are you engaged?"

Pei Xuanxi's eyes flickered: "No, even if there is, it won't count."

"Why?" Xu Zheng was puzzled.

Pei Xuanxi explained softly: "Because I have someone I like, I naturally won't have an engagement with anyone else."

Xu Zheng tilted her head and thought: So, the person Pei Xuanxi likes is not engaged to him? Then who does he like?

"Pei Xuanxi, you are such a good person, you will definitely find true love!" She patted Pei Xuanxi's shoulder and said with a smile.

Pei Xuanxi pursed his lips and looked at her smiling face.

He did find it.

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Zheng's eyelids soon began to droop, and she slowly lay down on the bed.

Pei Xuanxi tucked the quilt in for her somewhat helplessly, and inwardly he sighed that A Zheng really had no suspicion of him at all.

He leaned forward slightly, caressing her facial features with his fingers, his eyes full of tenderness.

As if he had engraved her appearance into his heart, Pei Xuanxi turned around and went back to the couch.

After Meng Yin and Gu Ling finished their meal, Gu Ling took her to his house to play.

"Swing!" Meng Yin saw something in the yard and ran up excitedly.

She had only mentioned to Gu Ling last time that she wanted to play on the swing, but she didn't expect to have it today.

Still hiding under the osmanthus tree, she couldn’t even imagine how beautiful it would be when the osmanthus flowers bloomed.

Meng Yin touched the strong rope and said, "Gu Ling, did you arrange this?"

Gu Ling stepped forward and said, "Of course."

Meng Yin lowered her eyes, a smile on her lips, and murmured, "You are so nice."

Gu Ling was secretly proud of himself and deliberately asked, "Then how will A Yin repay me?"

Meng Yin sat on the swing, looked up and smiled at him: "Then I'll reward you for pushing me!"

Gu Ling was slightly stunned, but still raised the corners of his lips: "Yes, sir."

Meng Yin's ears turned slightly red. She didn't expect him to say that.

Gu Ling came behind her and gently pushed her with his hand.

Meng Yin felt the wind by his ears, looked up at the bottomless sky, and suddenly felt melancholy.

She turned her head and asked, "Gu Ling, when are you leaving?"

Gu Ling grabbed the rope and leaned over to whisper in her ear: "Ayin, you can't bear to leave me?"

Meng Yin ignored his flirting. She nodded seriously, with undisguised sadness in her eyes: "I can't bear to leave."

Gu Ling was stunned for a second, then held up Meng Yin's face with his big hands and asked her to look at him.

Meng Yin forced a smile and said, "What's wrong?"

"you are not happy?"

"...No." Meng Yin said stubbornly.

Gu Ling hugged her from behind and whispered, "Don't worry, this matter will be over soon, just wait for me."

Meng Yin bit her lip and stood up, suppressing some emotion in her eyes. In the end, Gu Ling only saw warmth.

She hooked her pinky finger around his and said softly, "I'll wait for you."

Gu Ling grinned, and he put his big hands around her waist and the back of her head, as if he wanted to rub Meng Yin into his body.

In the early morning, the sky was still dark and there were still a few twinkling stars in the distance.

Pei Xuanxi woke up Xu Zheng and they needed to hurry on their way.

Pei Xuanxi was surprised that last night was safe.

But today's trip is different.

Xu Zheng quickly put on her clothes and washed her face. She didn't know how to tie her hair into a bun, so she simply tied her hair up and left it half-loose. Her natural look stunned Pei Xuanxi's men.

"Eat." Ah Yan said coldly. He had been with Pei Xuanxi for many years and of course understood his thoughts.

Several grown men quickly lowered their heads and started eating the buns.

Xu Zheng yawned and asked, "Do we have to get up so early?"

Pei Xuanxi looked apologetic: "Sorry, A Zheng, you can continue to sleep on the way."

Xu Zheng waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay. Can we buy some food on the way?"

"Of course." Pei Xuanxi said softly.

The group quickly set off, and Xu Zheng was holding a few bags of buns and snacks in her arms.

It was almost the same as yesterday, except Pei Xuanxi and Xu Zheng rode in the carriage together.

Xu Zheng was still a little sleepy. She leaned on Pei Xuanxi's shoulder, drowsy.

Pei Xuanxi said softly: "Go to sleep, A Zheng."

After a while, Xu Zheng fell asleep beside him. Pei Xuanxi carefully held her in his arms so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Following Pei Xuanxi's instructions, they did not walk very fast and it took them half an hour to reach Xiaoyao City.

Pei Xuanxi hugged Xu Zheng tightly, looking out the window from time to time. There was no unusual movement. Just when he was about to let down his guard, there was a sudden bang from the carriage and the carriage stopped.

Xu Zheng in his arms frowned, and Pei Xuanxi's eyes turned cold. He put Xu Zheng on the mat and said softly, "Zheng, wake up."

Xu Zheng opened her sleepy eyes and looked at him in a daze.

Pei Xuanxi smiled and said, "We have things to do. You stay in the carriage first."

Seeing him about to leave, Xu Zheng grabbed his sleeve and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Pei Xuanxi patted her hand in comfort and said, "It's not a big deal, but for safety reasons, Azheng, don't come down yet."

After saying this, he got off the carriage.

Xu Zheng was stunned for a second and pouted in dissatisfaction.

Did Pei Xuanxi forget that she knew karate? Xu Zheng tied her hair into a ponytail neatly and sat up to stretch her muscles.

She leaned against the window of the carriage and lifted a small section to peek at what was happening outside.

As soon as Pei Xuanxi went down, an arrow was shot from a distance. He gave a rare contemptuous smile and just raised his hand slightly to catch the arrow.

The men, including Ah Yan, dismounted and surrounded the carriage.

This road is an official road, with a hillside on the left and a cliff on the right. Pei Xuanxi stared at the hillside intently. He dared to cause trouble on the official road, so he thought there must be a powerful force behind him.

The leader on top frowned when he saw Pei Xuanxi's powerful martial arts, but fortunately they had the majority.

He rolled his eyes, raised his hand and waved, and a group of twenty or so people flew down and surrounded them.

Pei Xuanxi couldn't help but sneer, his expression didn't change at all.

His fingers were inside his sleeves, ready to activate his hidden weapon as soon as the other party made the slightest movement.

Xu Zheng in the carriage was furious. She pinched her thigh and tried hard to calm herself down. If she went down now, she would give Pei Xuanxi something to do, and Pei Xuanxi would have to be distracted to protect her.

Xu Zheng's heartbeat gradually slowed down. She looked outside, waiting for the best moment.
