A sliver of morning light refracted onto the smooth cave walls. Zhou Siyu rested his forearm on his forehead, squinted, and peered at the small opening.

Suddenly, a tall figure blocked out all the light. Zhou Siyu turned her head away and lazily said, "Good morning."

"Good morning." Yu Wei shook the snowflakes off his coat, breathed on his palms, rubbed his hands together, and felt his frozen hands slowly warm up before walking over to Zhou Siyu and pulling his coat over him. "It's snowing outside, quite heavily, and it probably won't melt until noon..."

“Hmm…” Zhou Siyu frowned slightly, covering her nose to avoid Yu Wei, “You smell of blood, it’s unpleasant.”

"Really?" Yu Wei raised his hand to smell it, touched the tip of his nose, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I even stood outside for a while before coming in."

"Silly boy." Zhou Siyu gently patted away the fine water droplets from Yu Wei's hair. "It's so cold outside, what if you get frostbite?"

"It's alright, I was just worried you wouldn't like the taste."

Yu Wei chuckled, scratching the back of his head like a docile puppy that had just received a reward. Zhou Siyu couldn't resist and patted his head several more times.

“I really don’t like the smell of blood.” Zhou Siyu’s brows remained furrowed, and she couldn’t help but pinch Yu Wei’s cheek. “Who in their right mind would like the smell of blood?”

After saying that, he added in a low voice, "Only perverts would like the smell of blood."

"Then... shall I go outside and stand there for a while to get rid of the smell?"

On second thought, it makes sense. Zhou Siyu is a businessman after all, so it's normal that he doesn't like fighting and killing.

Furthermore, as Zhou Siyu said, unless one is mentally disturbed, no one likes the smell of blood.

He would never forget the land and rivers stained with blood, the thick, nauseating smell of blood in the air.

He had thought countless times that perhaps if he had tried a little harder, those people wouldn't have died, and the war wouldn't have happened.

"You big idiot." Zhou Siyu rolled her eyes, half-covering her mouth and nose as she leaned on Yu Wei's shoulder. "Don't go out, I'll feel bad if you get cold."

Who knows what he did last night? He was nowhere to be seen until the middle of the night, and only returned early this morning covered in blood.

Thinking of this, Zhou Siyu sat up straight, looked into Yu Wei's eyes seriously, and said, "Let's set off now. I feel unsafe here."

"Don't worry, I'm here." Yu Wei smiled and gently flicked his nose. "You finally have time to rest, why are you in such a hurry to get going?"

“Staying here is too risky.” Zhou Siyu held Yu Wei’s hand, her cool fingertips gently rubbing the calluses on Yu Wei’s fingers. “Besides, you need to rest.”

He also looks like he hasn't had a break in a long time. Even machines need rest, let alone a human being.

"Feeling sorry for me?" Yu Wei tilted his head, quickly pecked Zhou Siyu on the cheek, and smiled contentedly. "If you really care about me, then get some rest, keep a good mood, and take good care of yourself."

"Hey, hey, hey, can't you two find another place to show your affection?"

Ms. Li Jing, who had been ignored and remained relatively unknown, finally couldn't hold back any longer and protested loudly.

Who would understand? She opened her eyes early in the morning and saw the two of them hugging and kissing sweetly. She wished she could gouge out her own eyes and cut off her own ears.

The world doesn't care at all whether this older single woman lives or dies!

"No." Zhou Siyu glanced lazily at Li Jing, shifted her position to lean against Yu Wei, and said nonchalantly yet proudly, "If we don't show off our love, who will know we're in love?"

Besides, he and Yu Wei haven't seen each other for several days, what's wrong with showing affection?

Li Jing: "..."

Holy crap! Awesome!

That makes perfect sense; there's no way to refute it.

Yu Wei tilted his head slightly, his gaze towards Li Jing carrying a hint of inquiry.

The rolling mountains resemble a giant, dark blue serpent, undulating amidst the vast expanse of white snow.

Stepping out of the low, damp cave, Zhou Siyu, who hadn't seen sunlight in a long time, squinted his eyes. After his eyes adjusted, he stretched out a big yawn.

These past few days, I've been holed up in this little mine, it's been so uncomfortable.

A strong arm appeared around her waist. Zhou Siyu turned her head slightly and looked at Yu Wei with confusion.

“Footprints will give away your whereabouts, so I will transport you in a miniature aircraft.”

Yu Wei issued a command to the microcomputer on his wrist, and a silver-black mecha appeared out of thin air, completely enveloping him from head to toe.

No matter how many times she sees it, Zhou Siyu is still captivated by the cool mecha.

The luster, the texture, the color scheme—it was completely etched into his heart.

If Yu Wei hadn't explained, he would have already confirmed Yu Wei's identity as a magician.

"Put it on."

Magician Yu conjured two goggles out of thin air, handed one to Li Jing, and then turned to personally put one on Zhou Siyu.

Li Jing touched her nose; she finally understood why her boss was so devoted to Yu Wei.

A handsome man with a delicate mind and meticulous care—who could resist being moved by him!

"So handsome."

While praising it, Zhou Siyu touched Yu Wei's mecha all over.

Yu Wei was extremely grateful that the mecha and helmet were one piece, so no one could see his face, which was redder than a monkey's bottom.

What should I do if my wife is too proactive? Help!

"If you like it, I'll give you a set another day." Before he could finish speaking, Yu Wei shook his head again, "I'd better not, this thing is difficult to operate and very dangerous."

"Why don't you just teach me?" Zhou Siyu grabbed Yu Wei's arm and said urgently, "You said you'd give me a set, you can't go back on your word."

“The main thing is that you don’t need this thing.” Yu Wei pinched Zhou Siyu’s cheek. “Sweetie, we don’t need the mecha anymore. I’ll give you a better one.”
