After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Shangguan Yunting quickly said, "Xiaorou, go out for a walk to digest your food after dinner, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well."

"I need to pack my things."

"Han Lin, send someone in to clean up the things on the table."

"Yes."

Shangguan Yunting pulled Shen Rou out of the tent, jumped on his horse and galloped out of the camp.

Shangguan Rui also told Shen Xue that he wanted to go out to digest his food, but Shen Xue quickly refused, saying, "Brother Rui, I still have to pack my luggage."

"It won't be too late to come back and clean up later."

Shangguan Rui brought Shen Xue back to his tent, "Xiaoxue, sit down for a moment. I have a gift for you."

"what?"

"You'll know once you see it. I guarantee you'll like it."

Shen Xue looked at Shangguan Rui with anticipation.

Shangguan Rui gently pinched Shen Xue's face and said, "Don't look at other men like that when you go back, understand?"

"Brother Rui, I understand."

"That's pretty much it."

He took out the brocade box and handed it to Shen Xue, smiling slightly and said, "Open it and take a look."

Shen Xue opened the brocade box, which contained a needle bag with rows of silver needles inserted in it.

Shen Xue said excitedly: "Brother Rui, how did you know I was going to use the silver needles?"

"Ever since you started studying medicine, I've guessed you'd need it sooner or later, so I specially ordered someone to make 720 silver needles."

"It won't take that much."

"There are 720 acupuncture points in the human body."

"After more than 700 needles were inserted into a person's body, he would still become a hedgehog. Some acupuncture points cannot be randomly punctured, otherwise it will kill people."

"Silly girl, I gave you more than 700 silver needles, not for you to prick one person at a time. How can you be so cute like that?"

Shen Xue patted her head and said, "How could I be so stupid?"

"Our Xiaoxue is extremely intelligent. If anyone dares to call you stupid, I will be the first to settle the score with him."

"Like it?"

Shen Xue narrowed her eyes and nodded happily, "Thank you, Brother Rui, I like it very much. You prepared a gift for me, but I don't have time to prepare a gift for you. I will make a gift for you next time we meet."

"Okay, I've been carrying the purse you gave me. It feels like you're by my side, giving me peace of mind and security."

Shen Xue lowered her head shyly.

"Go back and study medicine with Divine Doctor Ye. Don't talk too much with strange men. If I find out, you'll be in trouble."

"Brother Rui, I don't have the time to go out and meet strangers. I'm busy from morning till night every day and don't have any extra time to think about anything else."

"That's great. No matter how busy you are, please remember to write me back. My days in the barracks are dull and tedious, but your letters keep me company."

"I remember."

Shangguan Rui touched Shen Xue's head lovingly. The more he looked at her, the cuter she seemed to him, and he couldn't help but smile.

Bei Chu and Bei Ze, the guards at the door, suddenly smiled and whispered, "The master only becomes very happy and childish in front of Miss Shen. He lacks the status and dignity of a prince."

"You can speak louder so that the master can hear you calling him childish, and see if he doesn't punish you and send you back to the furnace for retraining."

"No, no, no, I don't want to go back to the hellish days in the Royal Training Camp."

"If you don't want to, shut up."

Shangguan Rui said softly: "I'll take you back. We have to travel tomorrow."

"it is good."

Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou rode out of the military camp on horseback, and Han Lin hurriedly followed behind them with a few guards.

As night fell, they walked hand in hand in the fields. A breeze brought a hint of coolness, and Shen Rou shivered violently.

Shangguan Yunting quickly put his cloak on Shen Rou and said, "Although it's the end of March, it's still a bit cold here in Youzhou. Put it on to keep warm."

"Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

"I've been in the military for many years and I'm used to it."

The two walked hand in hand casually, and Shen Rou looked at the starry sky which was particularly bright.

“The starry sky here is so beautiful.”

“Isn’t the sky the same?”

Shen Rou wanted to say that in modern times with all the traffic and the air being polluted, even at night with all the lights on, it was difficult to see such a beautiful starry sky.

"Let's lie on the ground and look at the stars!"

"as long as you are happy."

The two of them lay on Shangguan Yunting's cloak, holding their heads in their hands and looking up at the starry sky.

Shen Rou pointed at the Big Dipper and said, "Yun Ting, the star that looks like a spoon is called the Big Dipper. It is made up of seven stars, and each star has a unique name and meaning."

"Is there such a thing? I've never heard of it. What are their names?"

"The Star Lords of Tan Lang, Ju Men, Lu Cun, Wen Qu, Lian Zhen, Wu Qu, and Po Jun."

“The stars actually have names. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.

Shen Rou wanted to tell him that there were many things he didn't know! But it was not the right time to tell him her secrets.

"Of course, they are the immortal kings in heaven, the gods."

"Are they gods? Is this a folk tale?"

Shen Rou nodded softly, to prevent him from asking her too much and causing her to let the cat out of the bag.

Suddenly, a shooting star streaked across the sky. Shen Rou excitedly said, "Quick, close your eyes and make a wish!"

She closed her eyes and made a wish.

Shangguan Yunting turned his head to look at Shen Rou, who had her eyes closed, and involuntarily moved closer. He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, her fluttering eyelashes, and her high nose bridge, then slowly moved to her cherry-red lips.

"Stop it, I'm making a wish, have you made a wish?"

"My greatest wish in this life is to marry you and take you home to be my Princess Mu. This is enough for my whole life. Do you think this wish can come true?"

Shen Rou rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know."

"How could you not know since you are the person involved?"

"There are unexpected changes in the weather, and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time."

Shangguan quickly blocked her lips with his and said domineeringly: "Don't talk nonsense, I want you to be healthy and safe for the rest of your life."

"Good fortune and bad luck are not something you and I can control."

Shangguan Yunting's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of suppressed desire. His eyes were full of affection as he stared closely at the person in front of him.

Their lips pressed tightly together, kissing each other passionately, as if time was at this moment.

After the kiss, Shangguan Yunting lay on the cloak, trying hard to suppress the desire in his heart.

His chest heaved violently, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. His eyes remained fixed on the other person, filled with attachment and reluctance.

Shen Rou is not an ignorant white rabbit. She knows Shangguan Yunting's desires. Fortunately, he controlled himself, otherwise something might go wrong.

A modern person's mind may accept having sex before marriage, but he currently has the body of an ancient person and is not ready to get on the bus first and buy the ticket later.

The two of them lay there quietly for a while, enjoying the moment of peace and happiness.

After a while, Shangguan Yunting finally regained his composure.

He was a little flustered, "I just..."

Shen Rou quickly interrupted him, "Yun Ting, if one day I suddenly disappeared, what would you do?"

Shangguan Yunting hugged her tightly and said firmly, "There is no such assumption. I will not allow you to disappear from my life, absolutely not."

"I said if."

"There's no ifs and ifs. Don't say anything unlucky and keep me on edge, okay?"

Shen Rou felt warm in her heart, and she reached out to hug his narrow waist tightly, feeling his heartbeat and breath.

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore."

The two hugged each other quietly, enjoying this moment of tranquility and warmth.
