The next morning, just as Zeng Min got up and washed, Tu Mingcheng slowly arrived.

Zeng Min looked surprised and said coquettishly, "Why are you here?"

With a sincere and affectionate expression, Tu Mingcheng said, "I couldn't sleep all night last night, my mind was filled with your beautiful image."

Zeng Min was skeptical: "Wu Xinxin was home yesterday, why would you think of me?"

Upon hearing this, Tu Mingcheng was afraid that she might misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, she and I have always slept in separate rooms."

Upon hearing his words, Zeng Min suddenly realized something and couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"It takes crossing the center of the village to get here from your house, and you dare to blatantly come straight to my house? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

“I did not return to the village; I rested in a cave in the back mountain last night.”

Zeng Min was puzzled: "Why? How could there be a place to live on the back mountain?"

“Yesterday I returned from the city via another path in the back mountains. I have a regular resting place there. If I really don’t want to go home, I will go to the cave.”

"Ah, there's a cave in the back mountain, how come no one noticed?" Zeng Min asked, her face full of curiosity.

Tu Mingcheng smiled slightly and explained, "Large animals often roam over there, so the villagers don't dare to go there. They often go to the mountain in the depression, which is relatively safer."

Zeng Min leaned forward slightly, her eyes filled with curiosity.

She said coquettishly, "Oh! Tu Mingcheng, you actually have a secret you're keeping from me! Humph~ I've always trusted you so much." Her tone was somewhat probing.

Tu Mingcheng's lips curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly, and a sly smile flashed in his eyes. Unfortunately, Zeng Min didn't notice it at all because of his expressionless face.

Tu Mingcheng said, "How about this, I'll take you to see it, as compensation?"

Upon hearing the answer she wanted, Zeng Min immediately said happily, "Okay, I'll go up the mountain with you after I finish my work points for today."

Just as Tu Mingcheng was about to speak, a childish and adorable voice rang out. The voice was innocent and pure, with a soft and sweet tone.

"Mommy~ I need to pee..." It turned out that little Anlin had woken up.

He tilted his head back, his eyes were glazed over, and there was a hint of anxiety on his face.

Tu Mingcheng and Zeng Min both looked at An Lin at the same time. He was imitating the serious look of an adult, as if he really needed to go to the toilet. His cute little expression made people want to pinch his little cheeks.

Tu Mingcheng quickly bent down, picked him up, and carried him to the outhouse. After he finished urinating, he carried him to wash his hands.

As Xiao Anlin washed his hands, he looked up at Tu Mingcheng like a curious kitten and asked in a childish voice, "Uncle Tu, do you like my mom? I know you want to be my stepfather, right?"

Tu Mingcheng couldn't resist and, like stroking a little lamb, reached out and ruffled the top of his head. "This kid knows quite a lot. Who told you that?"

Xiao Anlin: "It was my great-aunt who said that my mother had a hard time raising me all by herself. So she wants me to be sensible and obedient. If you were my stepfather, would my mother not have to work so hard?"

Tu Mingcheng held the child's hand tightly, as if it were a heavy responsibility, and said earnestly, "I will take good care of your mother and you from now on."

His voice was deep and powerful, as if he were making an eternal vow to him.

Tu Mingcheng spoke with firmness and determination, without the slightest hesitation or retreat, like an impregnable fortress.

Although the child may not understand what this means, Tu Mingcheng still treated it as if it were a precious treasure.

After breakfast, Tu Mingcheng helped Zeng Min finish her work and then took An Lin to the cave that Tu Mingcheng had mentioned.

After walking for about an hour, Zeng Min was exhausted, like a rag doll with all its strength drained away. She asked, "How much further? Are we not there yet?"

Looking at Zeng Min, who was panting heavily from exhaustion, Tu Mingcheng felt a pang of heartache, as if he had been pricked by a needle. He walked in front of her, like a reliable mountain, bent down and squatted down, saying, "Get on, I'll carry you, it'll be faster this way."

Zeng Min hesitated for a moment. "Are you holding An Lin?"

Anlin is now asleep like a quiet kitten. The trees in the mountains are tall and straight, like giant green umbrellas, blocking out the scorching sunlight.

So walking in the mountains isn't actually hot. It's just that once you go deeper into the mountains, the path becomes rugged and difficult to walk on, with weeds growing everywhere. You have to walk like you're exploring a jungle, picking through the weeds to find your way.

"You usually don't have any paths to walk up and down the mountain? This place is far too desolate! Is there any water in the caves up there?"

"Sigh, if I had known it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have come here out of curiosity." Zeng Min muttered to herself, filled with regret.

She muttered to herself: It's all my fault for being nosy. As soon as I heard the word "cave," my mind flooded with thoughts of treasures and riches, and I fantasized about finding some rare treasures.

As it turned out, the journey was not only unbearably long, but they also didn't see a single mysterious figure!

At this moment, Zeng Min was filled with remorse. If time could turn back, she would never have been driven by curiosity to make such an impulsive decision.

However, things have already come to this point, and it's almost here, so it's hard to say no.

Tu Mingcheng said, "Actually, there is a clear stream in front of the cave, so there is no shortage of water. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to cook in the cave. Come on up, I'll carry you, and we'll be there in a little while."

Zeng Min stopped being stubborn and gently leaned onto his broad back.

After walking for a while, Tu Mingcheng could almost feel Zeng Min's soft, cotton-like touch as she leaned against his back through the thin layer of clothing he was wearing.

In an instant, Tu Mingcheng's heart felt as if it were about to break free of his chest and leap out of his throat, and his cheeks felt as if they had been scorched by a raging fire, burning hot and red.

Fearing that Zeng Min would notice his unusual behavior, Tu Mingcheng immediately sped up.

However, what he couldn't ignore was that as they walked, Zeng Min, who was lying on his back, had her whole body pressed against his back, her soft breasts rubbing intimately against his back, and her up-and-down movements as she walked caused her breasts to rub against him constantly.

This feeling was subtle yet exciting, making Tu Mingcheng's mind wander...

Upon arriving at the cave, Tu Mingcheng placed An Lin on a bamboo bed and led Zeng Min to the other end of the cave.

He put her down and couldn't wait to lower his head and kiss her lips, nibbling at them rather clumsily.

Tu Mingcheng had been thinking about this kiss when he confessed his feelings yesterday.

The sudden kiss caught Zeng Min off guard. She felt Tu Mingcheng's eagerness as their tongues intertwined and caressed each other on her lips. Her mind went blank, and she could only obediently close her eyes and wrap her arms around his neck.

Sensing his beloved's response, Tu Mingcheng's eyes shone like two light bulbs. As Zeng Min slightly opened her mouth, his slightly cool tongue seized the opportunity to slip inside.

Their lips met, and his slightly cool tongue slid into her mouth, greedily capturing her scent and exploring every corner with all his might.

He gazed at her, and saw that beneath her alabaster skin, a faint blush of rouge shone through. Her eyelashes were slightly lowered, and she exuded a girlish charm that was incomparably beautiful.

"Jiaojiao, you're so beautiful, I love you so much."

Hearing these sweet words, Zeng Min felt her heart soften and her breathing became rapid. She wrapped her arms tightly around Tu Mingcheng's neck.

Just then, Tu Mingcheng's hands began to wander restlessly over her body, causing her to shudder.

Her reason told her she should push Tu Mingcheng away, but her body was completely out of her control.

Finally, she gently pushed Tu Mingcheng and said breathlessly, "No..."

Tu Mingcheng seemed to understand Zeng Min's concerns, and he stopped what he was doing.

He whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, no one will come here." After saying that, he didn't continue, but let go of Zeng Min, and just held her to calm his desire.
