Sang Yu, no longer an innocent little rabbit, immediately understood the deeper meaning in his words.

"That wasn't just now... why are you doing it again!"

"What is Sangsang saying? I don't understand." Cheng Jingyan's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was calm.

If it weren't for his hand still caressing her waist, she would have actually believed his lies.

This man is two-faced.

"Husband, please, Sangsang's legs and back hurt. If this continues, she won't even be able to walk anymore." She looked at him pitifully, and a few tears welled up in her eyes at just the right moment.

Cheng Jingyan was quite pleased with her pleading, and he smiled smugly, his eyes sparkling with amusement: "Sangsang, don't you like it?"

This is a gift question.

"I...I like it..." She bit her lip lightly, "I'm worried that if it's too frequent, it will harm my husband's health."

"It's alright." He lowered his eyes and stared straight at her, his deep eyes making no attempt to hide his burning desire. "I like having sex with Sangsang."

He was practically an addict, he loved that feeling with her to death.

Sang Yu's lips trembled slightly. Sure enough, the more serious a man appears on the surface, the more frivolous he is in private.

She quickly changed the subject, because if they continued, something inappropriate for children might actually happen.

“Husband, we haven’t finished picking the dates yet. This tree is too tall for Sangsang to reach.”

Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry, which always made people's hearts soften unconsciously.

Want to pick the dates from the top?

"Mmm." She giggled, tilting her head back. The dappled sunlight shone on her fair, jade-like face. She pointed upwards with her slender finger, "The ones that grow higher up are even better. My husband is tall, so you can pick them for Sangsang."

"Sangsang picks them herself."

"what?"

The man suddenly reached out and picked her up, lifting her petite body with both hands and easily placing her on his neck, while his strong hands held her calves to support her.

"Husband!" Sang Yu exclaimed, forced to sit on his broad and strong arms, instinctively bending down to hug his neck tightly, almost choking him so much that he couldn't breathe.

"Don't be afraid," he comforted in his deep, resonant voice. "I'm here, you'll be fine."

His words calmed her nerves slightly. Sang Yu straightened up, feeling a little scared. Cheng Jingyan was 1.88 meters tall, and she was a bit frightened to be lifted up and looked down at.

"Husband, am I heavy?" she asked sweetly, as if afraid she might break Cheng Jingyan's neck.

Cheng Jingyan chuckled lightly: "Sangsang isn't heavy."

He had practiced martial arts since childhood and was physically strong. He had made it a habit to practice boxing and lifting every morning. He could lift any heavy object. Sang Yu's small body was so light to him that it was like a feather. He could carry her for three miles with one hand without any problem.

With those words, Sang Yu felt relieved for the time being, straightened up and began picking dates. The two of them picked the big ones one by one, and soon they had filled several large bundles, enough for them to eat for the rest of the journey.

Cheng Jingyan put her down, and Sang Yu brushed the fallen leaves off her head. Although it was autumn, the afternoon sun was quite strong, and both of them had a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads.

Cheng Jingyan packed the bundle, then lifted Sangyu onto the horse's back, and led the horse ahead himself.

Sang Yu gently wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. "Husband, aren't we going back?"

Cheng Jingyan looked ahead and said, "There's a spring not far away. I'll take Sangsang there to bathe."

Sang Yu's face stiffened for a moment, then flushed red. She said, embarrassed and annoyed, "Does my husband want to take me to bathe, or do something else?"

Cheng Jingyan, without batting an eye, replied: "Take a bath."

As they spoke, they arrived at the mountain spring in the valley.

Cheng Jingyan tied the horse to the tree, then picked up Sang Yu, and walked over the weeds and branches to the mountain spring.

A clear spring flows gently from the cracks in the rocks in the mountains. The water is crystal clear, and sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled light and shadow on the surface of the water.

Seeing that the place was empty, Sang Yu swallowed hard and hesitated. "Husband, the water is too cold. Sang Sang is afraid of the cold and won't be able to stand it."

“It’s alright,” Cheng Jingyan said, his dark eyes fixed on her. “Just wipe yourself down. I’ll wait outside.”

Huh? It's not...

Sang Yu wiped her neck with a damp handkerchief, and when she looked up, she saw the man's strong and upright figure with his back to her.

She felt a sweet warmth in her heart: This big blockhead is actually quite considerate.

After wiping her body, Sang Yu thoughtfully washed a handkerchief and used it to wipe Cheng Jingyan's skin.

"My husband, this place is so beautiful. I wish we could live here forever."

Cheng Jingyan lowered his eyes, a tender look flashing across them. "Sangsang, I promise you, once the war is over, I will take you to travel all over the beautiful land of our motherland, to eat different delicacies, and to do whatever you want."

Sang Yu paused for a moment, then looked up earnestly and said, "Husband, I believe in you. This day will surely come."

Cheng Jingyan's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the subtle glimmer of trust in her eyes.

He couldn't resist leaning down and gently touching her cheek.

"The sun is about to set, let's hurry back."

"Ah."

The two rode their horses slowly back in the afterglow of the setting sun.

When the two returned to Cheng Shu's house, it was already dark, and lanterns had been hung in front of the door.

The gatekeeper saw them return and hurriedly came over, saying, "General, my master requests your presence in his study."

"My eldest brother?"

"Yes, they've been waiting for you for two hours, saying they have important matters to discuss."

"Oh, I see."

Cheng Jingyan, with a serious expression, calmly led Sang Yu toward the study, but after only a few steps, they were stopped by a servant.

Seeing Cheng Jingyan's puzzled expression, the servant lowered his head and said politely, "Master instructed that only the general should go in; it would be inconvenient for others to go in. General, please don't worry, I will escort the lady back to her room to rest."

Cheng Jingyan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he had some doubts. Sang Yu, however, was very considerate and said, "In that case, husband, I'll go back to my room and wait for you. Come find me when you're done."

"Okay, don't wander off alone."

"Ah."

The two said their goodbyes, and the servant escorted Sang Yu back to her room. Cheng Jingyan then went alone towards the study.

As soon as Cheng Jingyan stepped into the room, he smelled a strange fragrance.

There were no candles lit inside; only a sliver of moonlight shone in from the window.

He frowned and tentatively called out, "Big Brother?"

If he remembered correctly, his elder brother usually went to bed early every day to teach in the countryside, so why was he suddenly called over tonight?

He squinted and noticed a figure moving behind the screen. He secretly channeled his inner strength, walked over, and was just about to kick the screen away.

Suddenly, a slender figure flashed by and rushed into his arms, the woman's arms wrapping around his neck like a slippery green snake.

"Cousin, I've been waiting for you for so long..."
