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

Su Aige parted her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

She wanted to say,

I don't actually mind at all how Sun Shan looked right after his workout.

On the contrary, deep down they were quite happy.

But the person has already gone far away, and it's too late to say this.

And so she slowly walked along the road, secretly observing the surrounding environment and buildings along the way.

......

When Su Aige finally reached the end, she couldn't help but marvel at the profound heritage displayed by the Sun family.

Although the Sun family keeps a low profile in the capital, they are by no means to be underestimated.

One can get a glimpse of this from the house alone.

I heard that the plaque hanging at the entrance of one of the courtyards was actually written by the late emperor himself.

Its value and significance are naturally extraordinary.

Throughout history, most sensible military generals have always acted discreetly.

......

Afterwards, Su Aige moved to the reception room, rested for a while, and tasted a few sips of the Sun family's tea.

Just then, Sun Shan, dressed neatly and looking brand new, stepped into the hall.

Today he was wearing a light-colored shirt that Su Aige had never seen before.

The bright colors made him look even more lively and energetic.

The solemn aura he originally exuded also diminished considerably.

At the same time, the sunshine and vitality unique to men of this age become even more prominent.

......

Sun Shan was quite young before.

He always wore a dark robe, which made him look very mature.

Whether it was Su Aige's imagination or not, she seemed to smell a faint scent of incense on Sun Shan.

Su Aige raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, while I was drinking a cup of tea, Sun Shan washed up, changed clothes, and even had time to burn incense.

......

Sun Shan noticed that Su Aige was staring intently at him.

In an instant, a barely perceptible blush crept up to the tips of his ears:

"What's wrong, Lord Su? Is there something inappropriate about my attire?"

As she spoke, she tugged at the hem of her clothes.

......

Upon hearing this, Su Aige quickly shook her head in response:

There is nothing wrong with it.

It's just that I rarely see you wearing such bright colors.

......

Sun Shan smiled slightly and continued:

"That's right, my father once taught me..."

At my age, wearing dark clothing can enhance my presence and make me more convincing.

Especially on the battlefield,

If you are accidentally injured and bleed,

Dark-colored clothing is less conspicuous and can enhance a general's prestige.

......

Su Aige had only said it casually.

But I never expected to receive such a response.

In an instant, her previously restless heart calmed down considerably.

......

She smiled slightly and said softly:

"Just call me Xiao Ge!"

Brother Sun, I came here today specifically to thank you properly.

Only now do I realize that during this period when all those rumors about me were circulating,

It was you who stepped forward to speak up for me!

Thank you, thank you for getting involved in this mess.

At this point, Su Aige's eyes were filled with sincerity and gratitude.

......

Regardless, even if she herself might not take these rumors to heart,

But Sun Shan was able to withstand the pressure of criticism from others and stand up for her, speaking out in her defense.

Su Aige wholeheartedly acknowledged and cherished this friendship.

......

Then she asked with concern:

"I wonder if this matter will have any negative impact on you, Brother Sun?"

If you encounter any trouble, please be sure to tell me!

......

Even if the other party may not care,

Su Aige added that the reason she was only expressing her gratitude now was:

I didn't pay attention to these rumors before.

I didn't know you were helping me, brother.

However, even His Majesty recently summoned me specifically to discuss this matter.

That's when I realized how quickly things had developed.

Therefore, I will definitely investigate these rumors thoroughly in the near future.

We absolutely cannot let them continue to spread unchecked!

......

After hearing Su Aige's earnest words,

Sun Shan smiled and nodded, indicating that he was fine.

However, after a brief pause

He seemed to have suddenly remembered something important, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

......

Finally, Sun Shan slowly spoke:

"Actually, Xiao Ge."

After this incident, we can finally call ourselves brothers.

Since you're already calling me "Big Brother,"

As your older brother, I feel there are some things I absolutely must tell you.

......

As he spoke, Sun Shan hesitated slightly, as if what he was about to say made him somewhat embarrassed.

"In my opinion, you've been getting a little too close to that kid from the Wang family."

Guo Si was dressed as a woman before, so I couldn't say anything about it.

However, Wang Er, some of your behaviors and actions...

To be honest, it's really not quite appropriate..."

......

Su Aige came today simply to express her gratitude to Sun Shan.

But then I noticed that Sun Shan's ears were turning a suspicious red as he spoke.

This made Su Aige, who originally only wanted to express her gratitude, suddenly feel like teasing her.

......

How close is it?

Su Aige murmured softly.

At the same time, he leaned over.

She lightly pressed her delicate pink lips close to Sun Shan's slightly reddened earlobe.

It was like a gentle kiss, or a fleeting touch like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"so?"

......

However, this was not enough. Su Aige noticed that Sun Shan's ears were becoming increasingly red.

She couldn't help but giggle, extending her delicate, slender hand.

Gently stroke Sun Shan's ear,

The warm breath from her mouth brushed directly against his ear.

"Still like this?"

......

Sun Shan had never experienced anything like this before.

He was immediately stunned into a stiff state by Su Aige's series of actions.

He stood there dumbfounded for a long time before stammering:

"Brother Su... please have some self-respect!"

......

But Su Aige was not about to give up so easily.

Her slender hand remained on Sun Shan's ear.

Not only that, but she also slowly rubbed her face against his cheek.

......

Looking at Sun Shan, who was motionless and looked embarrassed,

A sly glint flashed in Su Aige's eyes as she asked:

"Since Brother Sun believes that my behavior was inappropriate in many ways..."

Then why bother clarifying the truth for me in front of everyone?

......

Upon hearing this, Sun Shan's face flushed red, and he hurriedly said:

"I...I was just telling the truth."

We have indeed never been to the place they described!

Furthermore, this is not something I made up on the spot.

When His Majesty announces the case of Lord Zou, the truth will come to light.

Then no one will speak ill of you like that anymore.

......

He looked towards the door.

This is his living room.

People pass by here from time to time on weekdays.

"Xiao Ge, please move your hand away quickly!"

"Someone's coming soon."

Sun Shan's eyes were moist, and he looked like he was about to cry.

......
