"Okay." Si Yuling didn't dare to stop any longer, and strode out, closing the door behind him.

As an orc, Si Yuling possessed highly acute hearing and senses, and so he heard the sound of flowing water inside without any obstruction. Si Yuling blushed with embarrassment.

His previous cold-faced, ruthless persona crumbled repeatedly in front of Yan Jin, a young girl, and he was eventually utterly defeated.

Yan Jin was destined to be a different kind of person to him.

"I, I'm all better." Yan Jin was a little embarrassed. Usually, she was the one taking care of others. This was the first time someone else was taking care of her, and she felt awkward no matter how she looked at it.

But seeing that handsome and composed man busy taking care of her, she couldn't help but keep looking at him, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

Yan Jin knew that her feelings for this man had deepened, but she didn't dislike these feelings, so she didn't suppress them. Instead, she followed her heart and enjoyed and appreciated his kindness towards her.

As Si Yuling carried her outside, listening to his steady heartbeat, Yan Jin whispered, "Si Yuling."

Si Yuling paused in his forward steps, then continued walking, only responding in a low, muffled voice, as if the sound were coming from his chest, "Hmm."

This seemed to be the first time Yan Jin had called him by his full name, but Si Yuling felt as if he were hearing heavenly music.

It turns out that being called by your name by someone you like can truly bring you joy, both physically and mentally, leaving you feeling sweet and content.

Yan Jin was unaware of Si Yuling's feelings. Upon hearing Si Yuling's response, she tilted her head slightly, a bright smile appearing on her pretty face. "It's so good to have you."

Si Yuling couldn't help but smile and replied, "Yan Jin, with you, I feel joy."

"Hehe..." Yan Jin smiled, her eyes crinkling. Naturally, she leaned forward and gently kissed Si Yuling's handsome profile.

In an instant, like the romance of fireworks, all the sensations gathered on his cheeks—warm, soft, with a faint fragrance, like delicious ice cream.

This time, Si Yuling was truly unable to move. He stood there dumbfounded, holding Yan Jin tightly in his arms, as if he were standing on a cloud and couldn't come down for the time being.

Yan Jin couldn't help but laugh at this silly man; he really was so innocent.

Although I have lived for over a thousand years and have never had any contact with a man, I have at least seen pigs run, even if I have never eaten pork.

Moreover, in this advanced interstellar space, it's unexpected that a marshal of a nation, already in his late thirties, would still be so innocent.

It's important to know that although the age of adulthood for interstellar orcs is 20, interstellar society encourages early marriage and childbirth, and more than 95% of interstellar orcs are married or have children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen.

Even at the age of sixteen, some people are already married, let alone those who are already in their late thirties, many of whom are married.

Even if they are not married, most people already have a partner.

Has she really struck gold?

After a while, Si Yuling, who had come to his senses, hugged Yan Jin in his arms even tighter, his already softened eyes becoming even more gentle.

He said in a low, hoarse voice, "Let's go back and meet my family, okay?"
