They chose to live here in seclusion, and it was obvious that they all had the same fear.

I've lived here for so many years, but I've never had much contact with outsiders.

Now seeing that Teacher He would actually take the initiative to interact with others and even bring people to the small courtyard, there was more or less some surprise in their eyes.

Ruan Xingchen looked at the familiar people in front of him, his eyes slightly red.

But he still raised the corners of his lips and greeted everyone with a smile.

After all, it was getting late, so she didn't linger here any longer. She simply greeted everyone and said goodbye.

When grandma came back this time, she not only visited the graves but also paid homage to her ancestors and recorded Ning Qiuqiu's name in the family tree.

Ancestor worship is not a trivial matter. We have to find someone to calculate the date and hold the ceremony on the right day.

Therefore, they will have to stay in Linjia Village for a while, which is a good opportunity for them to get familiar with these teachers again under the pretext of bringing Huo Xiaoning to study with Teacher He.

Nights in the countryside are different from those in the city.

There are no flashing neon lights and bright street lights. Above is the sky full of stars, and all around are the shadows of trees.

Even the night seemed exceptionally dark, with only the light from the flashlight spreading out in front of him.

Huo Yan held Ruan Xingchen's hand and led her down the stairs carefully.

"Madam, are you feeling better?"

His voice was low and reliable. He said, "Madam, if you have any troubles, you can come to me. Maybe I am not omnipotent. But—"

He seemed to laugh and said jokingly: "Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang."

"Mr. Huo is not a cobbler."

Ruan Xingchen felt a little warm in his heart. He leaned over and hugged his arms tightly, whispering, "Mr. Huo is my Zhuge Liang, the most powerful one."

She really felt that she was very lucky to have Huo Yan's love.

Give her enough respect and trust, be omnipresent but not too pressing, and give her enough sense of security.

With him by my side, no matter what storms or dangers I face, they all seem insignificant.

"Madam, you are so kind." Huo Yan said with a faint smile in his voice, "As long as I can satisfy you, Madam, I will be very satisfied."

As he spoke, his eyes swept across the roadside and he suddenly stopped.

A bright red flower bloomed on the roadside. The petals were delicate and the whole flower looked about the size of a palm, making it particularly eye-catching.

"Why is Mr. Huo so nice to me?"

Ruan Xingchen didn't notice his pause. She looked down at the muddy road under her feet and couldn't help but smile slightly.

She whispered, "Mr. Huo is about to spoil me."

In her previous life, she was like a desperate woman, trying her best to make a name for herself to show Ruan Zeming.

But now, perhaps because she has a way out and enough love, she has become more pampered.

"I wish I could spoil Madam and make her mine alone."

Huo Yan bent down and picked the best-blooming wild flower.

With a smile, he handed the flowers to her and said softly, "My Queen, you deserve the best of everything in the world."

His tone was sincere, and it was obvious that he felt this way from the bottom of his heart.

When Ruan Xingchen raised her eyes, she met a pair of affectionate eyes as vast as the ocean.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, her eyes sparkling, and she asked in a sweet voice, "What are you doing, Mr. Huo?"

"This flower is very beautiful. I give it to my wife."

Huo Yan's smile deepened, and he said softly, "Everything I have, anything good, I want to present to my wife."

I want to be better to her and be the best person for her.

This way he would be her best choice, and there would never be anyone else competing for him.

"Mr. Huo is so sweet."

Ruan Xingchen's ears were slightly flushed and her cheeks were slightly hot, but her heart was filled with pure sweetness.

She tilted her head and tucked her black hair behind her ear, revealing her white earlobe.

There was a hint of arrogance in her tone, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face. She said softly, "Then, I, the Queen, will allow Mr. Huo to wear this flower for me."

"As you command, Your Majesty the Queen."

Huo Yan performed a chivalric salute, pinched the beautiful flower, and placed it on her temples.

The freshly picked flowers were gorgeous, their red pure and warm, making her skin look whiter than snow.

She is more beautiful than flowers. When she lowers her eyes, her long eyelashes are like a butterfly flapping its wings about to fly. Her cheeks are lightly flushed, making her look bright and charming.

The residual light of the flashlight fell on her face, her eyes were like bright stars, and her skin was glowing.

"My lady is so beautiful."

As if bewitched, Huo Yan couldn't help but lower his head and gently kissed her on the lips.

"Are you satisfied with this, Mr. Huo?"

Ruan Xingchen chuckled and stood on tiptoe.

She pressed her slender fingers against the back of his neck and took the initiative to move closer, deepening the kiss: "Mr. Huo, you can still want more."

On the dark mountain road, the shadows of trees on both sides swayed, and unknown insects and birds in the forest made crisp calls, echoing the croaking of frogs in the distance.

As night fell, only the flashlight in Huo Yan's hand cast a bright light, illuminating the two people kissing each other.
