"We'll talk about it when we get back."

Looking at his simple and honest appearance, Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh. She took his hand and intertwined her fingers with his, feeling a sense of satisfaction and security rising in her heart.

With Gu Jin's help, Tang Shu climbed out of the wooden cage and sat opposite the bearded man to discuss matters.

Tang Shu asked Angus how much he gave her.

The bearded man held up one finger.

Tang Shu understood and told Gu Jin to go back and get the money, and also told Gu Jin about their deal with the bearded man.

Gu Jin nodded, but did not want to leave her.

He had finally found Tang Shu, still shaken and sweating profusely. How could he bear to leave her again so soon?

Tang Shu sighed helplessly.

After hesitating for two seconds, she looked at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng decisively called out to Zheng Song, who was waiting below the ship, "Zheng Song!"

Zheng Song: "Eh!!"

A second later, a rousing response rang out, and Zheng Song's head popped out from the side of the boat, looking at them: "What's the arrangement?"

Everyone, "..."

Qin Zheng thought to himself that he didn't want to leave either.

Zheng Song was the only one without a wife at the scene.

Just as Qin Zheng was about to tell Zheng Song the amount the bearded man wanted, the bearded man suddenly shouted again and shook the gold necklace in his hand.

Qin Zheng frowned. Wasn't that the gold necklace he bought for his wife?

"He wants gold."

Before Qin Zheng could ask any questions, Tang Shu explained.

For people like Big Beard who wander far from home year-round, paper money is useless; gold is the only hard currency.

Qin Zheng looked at the gold necklace, nodded, and said, "I'll offer more gold, but the necklace must be returned to my wife."

Tang Shu turned and translated for the bearded man.

The bearded man nodded after hearing this, glanced at Qin Zheng with an appreciative look, and readily tossed the gold necklace in his hand to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng caught it.

Then he turned to Zheng Song and told him the amount of gold, then put his arm around Ye Yun and sat down next to her, putting the necklace back on Ye Yun's neck.

"That's not right, honey."

Qin Zheng suddenly realized what was happening and asked in surprise, "How do you know foreign languages?"

Ye Yun was taken aback.

"Uh, who said I understand foreign languages?"

“Just now,” Qin Zheng said, “I shot and killed that white guy, and you were yelling at the big bearded man, weren’t you yelling in a foreign language?”

Ye Yun: "..."

Qin Zheng looked overjoyed, as if he had discovered a new continent: "Honey, when did you learn a foreign language? Did you learn it while I wasn't home? Can you teach me?"

Ye Yun: "...I can't teach him."

"Why?"

"Because you taught me."

"ah?"

Qin Zheng was stunned.

He can't even say hello or goodbye properly, he only understands "OK". How could he have taught him?

Sigh, his wife is teasing him again.

Qin Zheng was sullen.

He suspected that Ye Yun was saying this on purpose because she thought he was stupid and didn't want to teach him.

His wife is becoming more and more outstanding; will she leave him?

As he thought about it, Qin Zheng's face grew increasingly pale, and his mood became increasingly depressed, making him look as listless as a dirty stray puppy.

What are you thinking about?

Ye Yun noticed the man's low spirits and reached out to try to smooth his furrowed brow.

Qin Zheng grabbed her small hand tightly, a rare look of melancholy in his eyes. "Wife, I'm so clumsy, will you leave me in the future?"

"How is that possible?"

Without thinking, Ye Yun replied, "It's just a foreign language, right? I'll teach you, okay?"

"real?"

"real."

"Okay! Teach me when we get home." Qin Zheng's face lit up instantly, and with a soft smack, he lowered his head and gave her a deep kiss on the forehead.

Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.

He's so easy to please.

The two huddled together in the corner of the cabin, with the azure sky above them, drifting on the boundless river.

This moment was exceptionally beautiful.

It's a foreign language... just a foreign language.

She wasn't lying.

Ye Yun thought to herself.

In her past life, she was taken in by Qin Zheng. After being paralyzed in both legs and betrayed by a scumbag, she once contemplated suicide. Qin Zheng did almost everything he could to distract her.

One of the things she was encouraged to do was learn a foreign language.

In her opinion, foreign languages ​​are easy to learn; remembering pronunciations and alphabets is not difficult at all.

The most painful thing was that Qin Zheng wanted her to take the college entrance examination, but he insisted that she do math olympiad problems!

She wanted to die anyway.

Doing math olympiad problems makes me want to die even more!

Later, she made a huge fuss about leaving Qin Zheng and ran away to live alone in the deep mountains. She thought that she probably couldn't have done it without Qin Zheng's help.

very good.

Education has now formed a closed loop.

"Wait a minute, Qin Zheng, how come you have a gun?" Ye Yun snapped out of her daze and looked at Qin Zheng's hand with a meaningful gaze.

In order to prevent the foreigners on the ship from having to make an emergency, Qin Zheng left his pistol with Zheng Song when he boarded the ship.

Qin Zheng did not explain this in detail until Zheng Song returned with the money and the ship docked. They saw Xing Yujie's figure on the shore.

It turns out that while she was being held hostage by Angus and boarding the ship, Qin Zheng went to find Xing Yujie.

Xing Yujie trusted Qin Zheng and lent him his sidearm so that he could respond promptly if Ye Yun or Tang Shu were in danger.

Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.

As for Angus's body, the bearded man took it with him out of loyalty.

They were involved in illicit business, and Angus had smuggled himself onto their ship; whether he lived or died was already an unknown.

You're saying Qin Zheng fired the shot?

Did you see it?

It was clearly the smuggling boat that took Angus away.

You're saying Angus is dead?

Tch, who knows how he died.

Ye Yun and Tang Shu did not forget their agreement with Big Beard. They restrained the special forces that were about to make a move behind them, let Big Beard and his men go, and did not pursue the matter.

Before leaving, the bearded man made a peace gesture to her and Tang Shu.

The danger has passed, and the dust has settled.

Qin Zheng and Zheng Song returned the items to Xing Yujie, and Ye Yun thanked Xing Yujie.

A soldier's sidearm is his life, even more important than his life. He will never part with it unless he dies in battle, let alone lend it to someone else.

But if Xing Yujie hadn't lent her service pistol to Qin Zheng, she would have been the one who died.

However, Xing Yujie's expression remained absent-minded as Ye Yun thanked him.

Ye Yun couldn't help but follow his gaze and saw Tian Xiaohui standing with Tang Shu in the crowd, talking to her.

Oh wow.

Old flames meeting again are bound to be filled with resentment.

Unfortunately, only Xing Yujie was envious.

At this moment, Tian Xiaohui was talking to Tang Shu and Gu Jin. The river breeze was blowing them, and their soft hair was dancing wildly, messy on their cheeks.

Gu Jin said something inappropriate again, which made Tian Xiaohui angry and embarrassed, so she pushed him.

Gu Jin wanted to retaliate, but Tang Shu stopped him. Tian Xiaohui gained the upper hand, glared at him, and brushed aside her hair, which was ruffled by the river wind, to look in their direction.

Her expression showed no sign of anything amiss.

Her gaze fell on Zheng Song, as if she wanted to know when he would finish his business and come back to find her. In her eyes, Xing Yujie was no longer there...
