Lu Zhenzhi didn't explain and turned to sit on the soft couch beside him. He rested his hands casually on his knees and looked at Fu Tong'er sitting on the edge of the bed. Then, he poured a cup of strong tea and took a leisurely sip.

"The little girl always has some unfashionable ideas."

"So, you don't think you're wrong, right? In a place like that, it's always right for a man to go there, right?"

Lu Zhenzhi stroked the jade ring and said slowly, "I remember that three years ago, you didn't know your family background or your character, but you wore my ring and asked King Hui to marry you."

Fu Tong'er ignored him, took off her shoes, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Lu Zhenzhi took one look at her unladylike appearance, pointed at the bed and said, "I've slept there for at least thirty years. Don't you mind?"

At this time, Chun'er outside the door said loudly: "Master, the hot water is ready."

Lu Zhenzhi looked out the door, then retracted his gaze and focused on Fu Tong'er again.

"Got it!" Lu Zhenzhi responded loudly.

The inner bedroom was silent.

Lu Zhenzhi continued slowly, "How many times have you and I kissed? How many times have I asked you for it? Hmm? Tong'er, do you always want it again?"

Men speak so directly that Fu Tong'er's face turned red.

Lu Zhenzhi stood up and walked down, reaching out his hand to pull Fu Tong'er: "I didn't do what you think. I went there just for a social occasion."

Fu Tong'er pulled her hand back.

"You won't even let me hold your hand?" Lu Zhenzhi's tall frame completely blocked the light in front of Fu Tong'er. "Go take a shower first. I'll explain it to you later. You have to trust my character, girl."

"My legs hurt and I can't walk." Fu Tong'er whispered.

Lu Zhenzhi lowered his eyes to look at her for a while, then squatted down, pinched her calves, raised his eyes and asked, "Are you still taking the recruit exam?"

Fu Tong'er nodded heavily.

"You're quite persistent." Lu Zhenzhi rubbed Fu Tong'er's calf. "Why don't I just give you a horse?"

Fu Tong'er shook her head: "No."

Lu Zhenzhi put down Fu Tong'er's calf, stood up, and carried her sideways. "One moment you embrace me with adoration, and the next moment you doubt my character. Your temper is truly unpredictable."

While walking, he carried Fu Tong'er to the bathroom in the backyard. The moonlight was bright under the corridor.

As Lu Zhenzhi carried Fu Tong'er away, he said, "The girl has become much heavier."

Fu Tong'er hooked her hands around his neck, turned her face away, and muttered:

"You're such a good talker..."

Lu Zhenzhi smiled faintly, then calmly carried Fu Tong'er to the bathroom door and said, "You said your body couldn't handle it, but you insisted on being strong. Do you want to wash yourself, or do you want me to wash you?"

"I, I can do it myself."

Lu Zhenzhi snorted lightly, kicked open the door, and said: "I don't think you can wash yourself." Then he walked in with Fu Tong'er in his arms and put her down in front of the bathtub.

"Go in and soak for half an hour. I'll wait for you. Call me if you need anything." As he said that, he walked behind the screen and sat sideways with his arms folded.

Fu Tong'er stole a glance at the man's shadow on the screen, her face flushed red, and she clumsily took off her clothes and hung them on the screen, but unexpectedly, they fell into Lu Zhenzhi's hands.

She was startled and said quickly: "I'm...I'm sorry."

Lu Zhenzhi sighed, stood up, and hung the woman's clothes in his arms on the screen.

Fu Tong'er held onto the edge of the bucket and raised her foot to step in, but as soon as she did so, her calf immediately throbbed with even more pain. After a moment's thought, she glanced at the man behind the screen. Seeing his silhouette sitting as steady as a mountain with his arms folded, she closed her eyes, mustered her courage, and then softly called out:

"Brother Lu Jin~"
