When we walked out of the field, it was completely dark.

The sky is full of stars, and the weather will definitely be sunny the next day.

"Auntie said she's going to make grilled fish for us today. Why don't you two stop working?"

When he reached the door, Yu Yichou spoke in a low voice so as not to wake up Ru Jie.

Xie Ling shook her head, "No -"

While he was talking, he was grabbed by the neck.

"Hey, hey, hey—what are you doing?"

Gu Wei put one hand around Xie Ling's shoulders, hooked it around her neck, and pulled her into his arms.

A hand pushed open the door and strode in. He didn't let go until he reached the courtyard, and pressed the person down on the stone bench.

The man's hair covered his elegant brows and his tone was commanding.

"Just take a good rest today, okay? Don't go anywhere."

Xie Ling helplessly spread her hands, "Okay."

Yu Yichou, who had eaten a mouthful of dog food, lowered his head, walked into the house silently, and put Sister Ru to bed.

When Pei returned home and opened the door, she saw three figures sitting obediently in the yard.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Ling and Gu Wei. "What's the wind that brought you two here today?"

Xie Ling and Gu Wei have been very busy at work, leaving home early and returning late every day.

Except during festivals, it was rare for me to sit down and eat with Pei.

Yu Yichou, on the other hand, came to accompany his aunt almost every day.

Xie Ling hurried forward, took Pei's arm, and said with a smile: "Mom, what are you talking about? We missed you so much. Why are you here? Come on, let's cook and eat. I'm hungry."

With just one sentence, Pei was overjoyed and smiled from ear to ear, "Our A Ling is still good at talking!"

The two of them walked into the house hand in hand.

Pei turned her head and said, "Gu Wei, go get two fish from the tank and clean them up."

Gu Wei nodded, picked out the two fattest ones, and squatted under the tree with Yu Yichou to scrape the fish scales.

After finishing the work, Gu Wei washed his hands and pointed to the door. "I have something to do outside. You can accompany them for dinner. If they ask, just say Zhou Cisui is looking for me."

Yu Yichou nodded and said, "Come back if you can."

Gu Wei waved his hand and walked straight to the county government office.

He went to handle Xie Ling's remaining official business, hoping that Xie Ling would feel more relaxed the next day.

Coming to Xie Ling’s private study, looking at the messy table, Gu Wei held his forehead with his hand, his thin lips slightly raised.

He first put all the messy documents, papers and pens in order, then cleaned the bookshelf, and then sat down to correct the documents.

By the way, he instructed his subordinates to find those people who were going to report to Xie Ling and report directly to him.

When she was about 18, the little girl scratched her head and asked shyly, "Where is Master Xie?"

Doukou is the little girl that Xie Ling rescued from the mountain village. She is extremely intelligent and can read and write. Now she has become a capable female official by her side.

Gu Wei raised his eyes, "She is too tired and is resting at home. Just tell me if you have anything."

Doukou looked even more embarrassed, "This... this doesn't seem to work. I should go find her."

"No need." Gu Wei's voice became deeper. "She's been working too hard. Let her rest for a day. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There's no need to be shy."

Doukou took a deep breath and said, "Then tell Master Xie Da that I have prepared the picture books! Tell me when tomorrow's physiology and hygiene class starts, and I will go and inform them."

"Picture album?"

Gu Wei frowned.

Suddenly, he reacted suddenly, his ears turned red, "Go down. I'll tell her."

When I looked up, Doukou had already run away, probably because she was too embarrassed.

Gu Wei coughed lightly and slowly went home.

Xie Ling was already lying on the bed, reading a book with the desk lamp on.

In the past, she was busy with work and rarely had the time to sit down and read like this, so she cherished it very much.

There was a noise at the door, and Xie Ling put the book down. "You're back?"

Gu Wei nodded and told Xie Ling exactly what Doukou said.

Xie Ling supported her chin and thought, "When? Maybe in the afternoon. I'm afraid I have things to do in the morning..."

As she was talking, Xie Ling turned her head and saw that Gu Wei's handsome face had turned red.

He was originally fair-skinned, and had gotten a little tanned in the summer. Now, after a winter, he had become fair again, and a faint blush appeared on his cold pale cheeks, and even his earlobes were red.

He tried his best to cover it up and pretended to be busy, taking off his clothes, fetching water, and arranging clothes hangers, one action after another without stopping.

Xie Ling found it funny, "Why are you blushing?"

Gu Wei raised his head, his eyes wandering, "No."

Xie Ling rolled her eyes. "When people are embarrassed, they will pretend to be busy. Don't take it personally. This is a normal hygiene course. It just helps people understand their bodies more clearly.

In order to prevent girls in Sinan from getting married and having children at the age of 14 or 15, I must teach them this lesson so that they can protect themselves well. "

Gu Wei had a cool and handsome face. His hair was loose, and it fell on both sides of his strong arms like a waterfall. He didn't dare to look at Xie Ling's face. "I know."

As he spoke, he took off his shirt, revealing his eight-pack abs. He changed into snow-white pajamas and lay down beside Xie Ling.

Xie Ling reached out to touch his face, "It's so hot, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Wei glanced sideways, with a flash of shyness in his eyes, and hugged Xie Ling's waist, burying his head in her neck, and said in a muffled voice: "I can't help but miss you."

Xie Ling finally realized why Gu Wei was blushing. Her ears turned red as she held Gu Wei's face.

"You are twenty-one?"

Gu Wei nodded, "I won't be twenty-one until October, but I'm still twenty now. My age is based on my lunar age. According to your age system, I should be only nineteen."
