A kiss, and I'll live another day; they begged me not to go crazy.

With Xiao Wu's careful assistance, Su Aige slowly stepped down from the carriage.

As soon as she got to her feet, she saw that everyone was already busy at work.

Some were busy setting up stoves and starting fires, while others were preparing ingredients for cooking.

My gaze drifted into the distance, and a crystal-clear river came into view.

The shimmering water sparkled with a mesmerizing light under the sun.

......

Right!

I can take this opportunity to try out Xiao Wu's cooking skills!

Su Aige turned her head and softly asked Xiao Wu beside her:

"Xiao Wu, can you cook?"

Xiao Wu nodded slightly and answered respectfully:

"Yes, Master, Xiao Wu can cook."

......

From Xiao Wu's perspective, Su Aige's beautiful face was made even more charming and alluring by the afterglow of the setting sun.

As for Su Aige, when she gazed at Xiao Wu, she felt that his exquisitely sculpted face appeared exceptionally three-dimensional.

Especially her deep, pool-like eyes, staring straight at him, as if she were the only person left in his entire world.

However, Su Aige, who knew the inside story, was well aware that this was just a pre-programmed performance.

......

Then, Su Aige's eyes darted around, and she continued to ask:

"Do you know how to fish? If you do, why not show me your skills?"

To be honest, I've never used the kitchen in my room!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu nodded without hesitation:

"No problem, Master."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the riverbank, ready to show off his skills.

......

After Xiao Wu left, Su Aige had nothing to do, so she strolled around leisurely.

As she walked, she suddenly noticed an open space not far ahead.

Sun Shan was squatting there, holding a twig in his hand, and writing and drawing on the ground.

Driven by curiosity, Su Aige quickly stepped forward and asked:

"General Sun, what are you doing?"

After all the events that have happened, Sun Shan's opinion of Su Aige has changed dramatically, and he no longer harbors the prejudice against her he once did.

Therefore, when faced with Su Aige's question, he was not displeased at all; on the contrary, he was very willing to talk and share with her.

......

Facing the puzzled Su Aige, Sun Shan patiently explained:

"Lord Su, I'm calculating the time it will take to get to my destination from here."

Based on our current speed and distance traveled, not counting the time spent camping and resting at night and having lunch during the day, it is estimated that it will take another six days to arrive safely.

As he spoke, Sun Shan squatted down and began to draw on the ground with a twig.

......

A moment later, Sun Shan looked up and found Su Aige staring at him with those bewildered eyes. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"Oh dear, look at my memory!"

I'd forgotten, Lord Su, you've never served in the military, so you certainly wouldn't understand these symbols.

......

This was the first time Su Aige had ever seen Sun Shan smile so sincerely.

In her mind, Sun Shan had always been a tough guy who was stern, cold and ruthless.

But at this moment, that radiant smile was like a spring breeze melting the winter snow.

It's as if the blazing sunlight has pierced through the cold ice, making people feel warm and comfortable like a spring breeze.

For a moment, Su Aige was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even hear what Sun Shan said next.

......

It wasn't until Sun Shan reached out and gently waved his hand in front of her eyes a few times that Su Aige snapped out of her daze.

Sun Shan smiled and asked:

"Lord Su, I wonder if you have understood what I said?"

Su Aige was still somewhat dazed at this moment, and answered instinctively:

Ah...it's so beautiful...oh no, no,

I mean, I have a simpler and easier-to-understand method.

......

Su Aige sighed after noticing the interested look Sun Shan was giving her.

He turned to the other person and began to explain in detail the Arabic numerals and the methods of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

As the explanation progressed, Su Aige noticed that Sun Shan's eyes were becoming increasingly bright.

Seeing this, Su Aige decided to go all the way and pass on everything she knew to him.

......

"Look, General Sun, we are still about 300 kilometers away from Hezhou."

Based on our current pace, we can travel 20 kilometers per hour.

If we don't count the time our crew spends resting and adjusting along the way, we can probably travel for about 3 hours a day.

That adds up to 60 kilometers a day!

......

At this point, Su Aige subconsciously glanced at Sun Shan.

She saw that the other person was staring intently at her, and those bright eyes made her heart flutter.

She took a deep breath and, trying to remain calm, continued:

"However, along the way, we may encounter situations such as strong winds or bad weather that may affect our journey."

Therefore, conservatively speaking, these factors will cause us to drive about 10 kilometers less per day than expected.

In this way, we can only travel about 50 kilometers a day.

At this rate, just as you calculated, it will probably take us a little over five more days to reach Hezhou.

......

After saying this, Su Aige looked at Sun Shan with a smile on her lips.

At this moment, Sun Shan's eyes were full of admiration.

He smiled and nodded, indicating his strong approval of Su Aige's algorithm, and praised it, saying:

"Lord Su is indeed exceptionally intelligent; such a brilliant algorithm is truly admirable!"

In comparison, my previous algorithm was much more complex.

Thank you for your guidance.

......

Hearing Sun Shan's heartfelt praise, Su Aige's smile deepened.

Her skin was fair with a rosy glow, and her lips were bright red and moist.

This drew Sun Shan's gaze, which swept over him with a predatory, almost beast-like intensity.

This stirred a ripple in Su Aige's heart.

......

For some reason, Su Aige, who was eloquent and articulate when facing Wang Er,

When I'm facing Sun Shan up close, my heart always races.

"It must be because General Sun's aura was too strong that I got nervous," Su Aige thought to herself.

......

Su Aige felt her heart pounding violently.

She thought to herself:

"How come I never realized that General Sun was so powerful before!"

At that moment, the oppressive gaze made her arms involuntarily break out in goosebumps.

However, it is unclear whether it is due to the system's prolonged brainwashing-like indoctrination.

This pressure somehow transformed into a frenzied impulse.

A strong desire to conquer suddenly rose from the depths of Su Aige's heart.
