Gu Tingzhi demonstrated to Meng Fuyan just how much he missed her, which exhausted her so much that she fell asleep immediately. When she woke up again, it was already pitch black outside the window.

She was stunned for a moment, then looked at her watch; it was already past nine o'clock.

Meng Fuyan gritted her teeth, her stomach growling with hunger. This guy, who had eaten and drunk his fill, was still lying next to her. Enraged, Meng Fuyan kicked him off the bed.

Bang!

"Hmm..."

Gu Tingzhi, who was sleeping soundly with his wife in his arms, was suddenly kicked off the bed. He was startled and his eyes immediately lit up with vigilance. He was about to retaliate, but when he realized that he was still in his familiar bedroom, he was stunned!

Turning my head again, I saw a girl sitting on the bed, clutching the blanket and wrapping herself up. Her flushed face was now full of anger, and she was glaring at me fiercely.

Gu Tingzhi immediately smiled, a slightly ingratiating smile on his face, and slowly crawled back to squat by the bedside. "Are you hungry? You rest, I'll go get you something to eat, okay?"

"Hmph!" Meng Fuyan gave a haughty snort.

Gu Tingzhi smiled and ruffled her hair. "Wait here, I'll go get it."

He got up and went downstairs. A moment later, he came back with a tray. By then, Meng Fuyan had finished washing up and was sitting on the sofa in front of the French windows.

Seeing her lounging lazily on the sofa, Gu Tingzhi sat down opposite her. "Why are you up? If you don't have the energy, I can feed you!"

Meng Fuyan lifted her eyelids slightly. On the tray were three side dishes, a bowl of soup, and a serving of rice.

That's enough for one person.

Aren't you hungry?

Gu Tingzhi smiled, "You were asleep before, but I got up and ate."

After finishing eating, seeing that she was still not awake, I couldn't bear to leave her, so I simply slept next to her again.

Meng Fuyan: "..."

No wonder I woke up to find him wearing pajamas; he looked like he'd tidied up.

Meng Fuyan didn't want to talk, so she ate all the food and finally felt better.

Gu Tingzhi took the dishes away and came back to find her still curled up on the sofa. He sat down next to her and said, "Do you want to go for a walk? Or do you want to keep sleeping?"

Meng Fuyan glanced at her watch. "It's so late, where can we go? Isn't it unsafe outside at this hour?"

The security situation in port cities during that era was not as good as it is in later times. Cities in the development stage are generally not very safe. It was only after cities expanded in scale and surveillance improved in later times that the security situation improved.

At that time, street fights were common in the port city.

Gu Tingzhi said nonchalantly, "With me here, what's there to be afraid of?"

Meng Fuyan thought about it and agreed. This guy was a special forces soldier among special forces soldiers. The two of them also had some kind of cheat code, so it didn't matter where they went.

"Let's go then. We've slept for so long, our bones are all stiff. Let's go out and stretch our legs."

Gu Tingzhi looked at her with a somewhat ambiguous gaze, "Are your bones getting lazy? Shall I loosen them for you?"

Startled, Meng Fuyan kicked him and ran away.

The two drove out of the villa on the hillside. Gu Tingzhi knew that she didn't have much to do in China, so he took her to a relatively lively place. Although Hong Kong was not as prosperous as it would be in later years, it was still much more developed than the mainland. However, Meng Fuyan just strolled around and didn't seem to be very interested.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, Gu Tingzhi was a little surprised. He thought she would be happy since she had finally come out!

Meng Fuyan leaned against the car window and replied, "Nothing's wrong! My whole body aches, and I don't want to move."

"Then why didn't you rest at home just now?"

Meng Fuyan rolled her eyes. "It's too boring at home. I'm just a little sore, not sleepy. I just want to get some fresh air. I don't have the energy to go out and have fun right now. You can drive and take me around for a drive, let's see some scenery."

Gu Tingzhi restarted the car and, seeing that she seemed listless, asked with some guilt, "Did I use too much force just now? Are you feeling unwell?"

Meng Fuyan turned to look at him, smiled, and didn't refute, "Where can I get a massage?"

Gu Tingzhi replied, "Yes, but very few. Usually, it's men who go to these kinds of places, and most of them are not legitimate."

"Then find me a proper male masseur, one with a strong grip."
