Zhong Zhiyang's Adam's apple moved up and down as he replied nervously.

Zhong Heyang pushed open the door and didn't respond to him. He naturally didn't participate in the reconstruction. Everyone has their own expertise, and building houses was not his specialty.

In the past, Zhong Zhiyang loved to hang out with a few other kids of the same age in the compound, doing nothing and often playing until the early hours of the morning.

He has been very honest recently after turning over a new leaf. Basically, he won't go out unless there is something important to do. He stays at home cooking and doing housework.

Zhong Heyang thought he was having his old troubles again, and his tone was filled with a terrifying sense of oppression, "Where were you hanging out so late at night?"

Zhong Zhiyang shook his head like a rattle, "I didn't! I was... I was going to take care of something."

He was afraid that his elder brother would ask more questions, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Brother, your sister-in-law missed you a lot during the time you were away."

"is it?"

Zhong Heyang's eyebrows were frivolous, and his tough tone unconsciously softened when he talked about Lin Ziqiu, "Lock the door and go to bed early."

Zhong Zhiyang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling cold sweat on his back, "Okay, big brother!"

Everyone else in the house was asleep, and it was pitch black, with only a small light on the second floor.

Lin Ziqiu hadn't slept yet and was studying late into the night. He hadn't touched a book in more than 20 years, so he naturally had to work harder if he wanted to pass the imperial examination.

Zhong Heyang walked very lightly. As soon as he reached the door, his sister who was sitting at the desk turned around and looked at him.

Lin Ziqiu stared at the figure walking towards her slowly, and in a trance, everything around her stopped.

After not seeing him for two months, the man's cold features were still the same as I remembered, but he was much thinner than before. The bulky military coat could not hide the arrogance and majesty he exuded.

"Yang...Brother Yang..."

Lin Ziqiu jumped up from her chair in shock, tears in her eyes, joy and sadness intertwined. She stretched out her hand towards the man, as if suspecting that everything in front of her was just an illusion.

Zhong Heyang took a few steps forward and held her tightly in his arms. He was still wrapped in the cold air from outside, but at this moment, this hug was like the warm sun, melting his limbs bit by bit.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back."

With the man's familiar voice, Lin Ziqiu finally realized that this was not an illusion, he was really back!

Back to my side!

It had only been a few months since they last saw each other, but Lin Ziqiu felt like they had been separated for years.

She tightened her grip on the man little by little, as if she was afraid he would disappear.

"Holding so tight? It seems like you missed me a lot."

A man's voice came from above her head, and Lin Ziqiu realized that she had lost her composure and shyly wanted to push him away.

Sensing her resistance, Zhong Heyang not only did not let go, but hugged her tighter, "It's okay if you don't miss me, I miss you anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly leaned forward and asked in a low, magnetic, and affectionate voice, "Can I kiss you?"

Lin Ziqiu's mind went blank in an instant, his heart seemed to jump into his throat, and he forgot how to breathe.

Zhong Heyang was waiting for her answer.

Lin Ziqiu's eyes were shining with tiny lights, and she let her heart beat wildly. The blush on her face was as beautiful as a red face. Finally, under Zhong Heyang's fiery gaze, she nodded.

The next second, the man's warm palm gently touched the back of her head.

Lin Ziqiu subconsciously closed her eyes, and her crimson lips were covered by the soft touch.

The two of them were too close, and there was an ambiguous breath between their nostrils. Lin Ziqiu's eyelashes trembled, and her hands were tightly grasping the man's arms.

Zhong Heyang's arms around her waist gradually tightened, his body silently pressed against hers, deepening the kiss bit by bit.

There are too many emotions in this kiss.

Endless longing and love were released at this moment.

Lin Ziqiu was inexperienced and nervous, and he kept holding his breath and didn't know how to breathe. Soon he felt his body go weak and he could hardly stand.

Zhong Heyang noticed and let go of her in time, his deep eyes filled with restraint, "Idiot."

Lin Ziqiu's face flushed. When she heard his low laugh, she quickly raised her hands to cover his eyes and accused him coquettishly, "Are you still scolding me? Don't laugh!"

Zhong Heyang raised the corner of his lips slightly, "I'm not scolding you, I'm praising you for being cute."

If only his wife could be a little more stupid, she wouldn't have to work so hard.

Lin Ziqiu snorted, pushed his arms away, turned his back to the man, and ordered: "I'm tired."

Zhong Heyang patted her buttocks lightly, his tone full of pampering, "Okay, okay, I'll go get you some water to wash your feet."

Lin Ziqiu covered her butt and turned back to glare at him in complaint. Zhong Heyang couldn't help but lower his head and kissed her flushed face, "Wait for me."

After he left, Lin Ziqiu raised her hand and touched her lips, which still had a faint smell of tobacco from the man.

I was so careless that I couldn't control myself and actually kissed him!

Downstairs, Zhong Heyang was pouring hot water contentedly. Although it was just a kiss, it was already a big progress between them.

From Lin Ziqiu's reaction, he could feel that she really missed him during this period of time.

This feeling of being remembered by his beloved made him feel a little itchy in his heart. Is this happiness?

Lin Ziqiu had already washed. She deliberately sent Zhong Heyang to get hot water. After all, after the kiss, she didn't know how to face him.

When Zhong Heyang went upstairs with the foot basin, he found that his young wife had already climbed onto the bed, leaving only her back to him.

Only then did Zhong Heyang realize that he had been fooled.

He smiled silently, lowered his head, and sat on the edge of the bed, intending to soak his feet.

But thinking about it, this doesn't count as her tacit consent for them to share a foot basin?

Does it mean that she is willing to integrate herself into every aspect of her life?

Thinking of this, Zhong Heyang's eyes were filled with a satisfied smile.

···

The next day, Zhong Zhiyang didn't dare go out.

As soon as the eldest brother came back, it was impossible for him not to know about Jiang Nianyue.

Perhaps because he was afraid of being beaten, Zhong Zhiyang got up early and made breakfast, and it was a very sumptuous one.

Zhong Xuexi didn't know her brother was back. When she entered the kitchen and saw Zhong Zhiyang cooking, she couldn't help but say, "Hey, how come Master Zhong has time to cook today?"

Zhong Zhiyang choked and lowered his head guiltily to add firewood. "Sister, you must be hungry. The meal will be ready soon."

Zhong Xuexi glanced at him with disapproval, then turned around and went out to get some water to wash her face.

Everyone else in the family got up one after another, except Lin Ziqiu and Zhong Heyang, who were still not moving.

Mr. Li winked at Tian Xiaofeng and said, "Go and call your sister for breakfast."

"Okay!" Tian Xiaofeng had just sat down and stood up immediately before the stool even got comfortable.

Zhong Zhiyang held him back, "Don't go."

Tian Xiaofeng frowned and asked in confusion: "What?"
