How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Zhao Huazhang felt his cheeks getting hot again and he looked away uncomfortably.

"I made it. Didn't I give you some last time? It tastes okay, doesn't it? My third brother and I worked on it together, and it sells pretty well in Yin Ge Garden." Xia Chu turned around and saw that the man's face had actually turned red again. She couldn't help but feel a little strange. How could someone blush so easily? It was just a piece of cake.

"It's delicious." Zhao Huazhang coughed lightly.

"How can you blush just by eating a piece of cake?" Xia Chu couldn't help but teasing.

Zhao Huazhang choked, his eyes suddenly unsure where to look. His face turned even redder as he thought of what he had just thought.

If Xia Chu knew what I was thinking just now, she would definitely be angry, right?

"I didn't think anything of it." After he said this, he realized that he was trying to hide his mistake, which made him feel even more embarrassed.

Xia Chu was curious, "What are you thinking about?" she said, leaning over to look at Zhao Huazhang's face.

Zhao Huazhang turned to explain, only to find that face so close. She tilted her head, her bright eyes reflecting his face. He blinked, and though he hadn't touched her, Zhao Huazhang felt as if her curled eyelashes were gently scratching his heart, tickling him unbearably.

If he moved just a little closer, he would be able to touch the lips that made him tremble.

So close...

Xia Chu realized they were too close, her face flushed, and she tried to move away. A hand, scorching hot, pressed against the back of her neck. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she opened her mouth to speak. But Zhao Huazhang lowered his head, and their lips touched a warm, soft spot.

The other person's breath sprayed on her face, carrying a woody aroma. A tingling sensation spread from her lips to the surrounding area, and she was stunned.

Zhao Huazhang was also stunned. He had clearly been the first to approach, yet he was the one who pulled his hand back as if burned. His face flushed red, and he wanted to apologize, but he couldn't help but pursed his lips.

So soft, and seems to have a sweet taste.

Realizing that he was actually savoring it, he felt even more ashamed of his shamelessness.

"You..." Xia Chu covered her mouth with the back of her hand, her face burning as if on fire. She didn't dare to meet Zhao Huazhang's gaze and turned her head away. "You!..." She bit her lip, not sure whether she wanted to curse or what.

"I...I didn't mean it." Zhao Huazhang was at a loss. "Don't be angry! No, you can be angry, you hit me, I, you..."

He was like a child who had just learned to speak, speaking incoherently and not knowing what he wanted to say.

Xia Chu wasn't angry, but she was shy and surprised. She couldn't help laughing at his flustered attitude. "What are you flustered about?"

Hearing that she didn't seem angry and didn't want to ignore him, Zhao Huazhang felt relieved, "I'm afraid you'll be angry, so don't see me again."

Xia Chu bit her lip and smiled, "You kissed me because you were afraid I'd be angry?"

"I, I didn't mean it." Zhao Huazhang couldn't help but look around for a while and then moved his eyes back to Xia Chu's face.

Xia Chu lowered her head, looking gentle. The sunlight favored her profile, casting a golden hue on it, as if she were glowing.

"When will you marry me?" Zhao Huazhang couldn't help but whispered, "When will you belong to me?"

"Are you anxious?" Xia Chu turned his head, his bright eyes showing a hint of cunning.

"I'm anxious." Zhao Huazhang nodded, his eyes filled with admiration that he himself didn't even know about.

Xia Chu felt a surge of heat in her heart when she saw him like that, and subconsciously raised her hand to block Zhao Huazhang's eyes. She pouted, "Don't look at me like that."

It makes people unable to help but indulge in it.

But what would happen if she indulged in it? Xia Chu didn't know. She felt sweet in her heart, but also a little afraid.

A soft hand covered his eyes. Losing sight should have made him feel uncomfortable, but Zhao Huazhang smiled and raised his hand to gently cover his eyes.

Such a big and hot hand. Xia Chu moved her fingers and felt the other person's eyelashes scratching her palm gently, which was itchy.

Time seemed to stand still, and the two of them remained in this position for a long time. Xia Chu even felt her palms sweating. She withdrew her hands uncomfortably, and stood up without even bothering to look at the scenery on the top of the mountain. "Let's go back."

Zhao Huazhang was a little disappointed, "Okay."

Xia Chu heard this and walked down the mountain. She hadn't noticed it coming up because she was carried on someone's back, but she realized how steep it was when she was going down. She walked down slowly, leaning sideways, always worried that she would slip and fall flat on her face.

"I'll support you." Zhao Huazhang rubbed his fingers and reached out to grab Xia Chu's arm. Fortunately, the other party did not refuse.

His arms were very strong, and Xia Chu felt that even if she slipped, she could be picked up.

Going up a mountain is easy, but going down is hard, especially when you are tense. At the beginning of summer, I felt that the muscles in my legs were stiff and I couldn't walk anymore.

Zhao Huazhang saw her frowning and her temples were soaked with sweat, and he said with heartache, "I'll carry you."

Xia Chu hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat tempted by the thought of how easy it would be to climb the mountain. But she was also worried, and hesitated, "Will it be too dangerous?"

"It'll be fine, trust me." Zhao Huazhang said as he turned around and grabbed her arm and put it on his back. Xia Chu hesitated for a moment, but finally compromised and lay on his back.

She looked at the road under her feet, but she was thinking that if the two of them fell down together, the scene would be too tragic.

"Don't be afraid, you won't fall." Zhao Huazhang felt her tense and tense body and soothed her gently, "Trust me."

"Yeah." Xia Chu stared at the mountain road, still unable to control her nervousness. But soon, she realized there was no need to worry. Even with her on his back, Zhao Huazhang remained very steady. He seemed to know exactly where to step, and each step was steady, even faster than she could walk on her own.

Feeling relieved, Xia Chu stopped looking at the road, lest she become too nervous. She also didn't dare rest her chin on Zhao Huazhang's shoulder to tease him, as she had done on the way up the mountain, fearing he would be distracted.

She simply closed her eyes. Losing sight made her other senses more acute. She realized that Zhao Huazhang's hands could actually hold her knees. His back was broad, and lying on it made her feel completely safe.

When Zhao Huazhang reached the foot of the mountain, he realized the person on his back hadn't moved or spoken in a long time. He called out softly, but received no response. Guessing she was asleep, Zhao Huazhang smiled. His sharp brows softened, his eyes softened, and there was a tenderness that moved his heart.

Unfortunately, someone was asleep and couldn't see.

Zhao Huazhang carried her on his back and untied the horse's reins with one hand. He didn't want to wake the person on his back, so he didn't mount his horse, but instead walked slowly towards the city. The two horses followed him obediently, even the sound of their hooves was very quiet, as if they knew their master needed quiet at the moment.

When Xia Chu woke up, she was already halfway through the journey. She was a little confused in her sleep and for a moment forgot where she was.
