"I'll do it myself." Seeing how he was trying hard to suppress himself, Hua Qingran said.

He held her hand, "It's okay."

Suppressing his clamoring desire, Jiang Yubai put his clothes on her, then held her waist and pressed her into his arms.

The hot breath sprayed on the side of Hua Qingran's neck, and his body felt a little numb.

Jiang Yubai paused for a while, let go of her and went to pack up his things, then he carried her out through the window.

She couldn't help but ask: "Why not go through the door?"

"Open the window faster." Jiang Yubai stroked her hair, "The first time I saw you, you climbed through the window."

"I was so sleepy at that time that I hurried back to the inn to sleep."

"I'll hurry too." He kissed her forehead.

Hua Qingran: ...

Jiang Yubai had already planned the travel route, and he arrived at Heishan at about the same time as expected. Heishan was not far from Yingshan, and at Jiang Yubai's speed, he could reach the destination in one day.

It was almost dusk, the setting sun over the distant mountains was reflected in the cold river, and ripples appeared on the water. It seemed as if the mountains had not yet received the signal of autumn and were still lush and green.

After entering the yard, Jiang Yubai put her down, held her waist and kissed her on the lips, then pulled away, "You didn't eat much on the way, I'll cook for you."

He sent a message back two days ago, saying that there should be fresh vegetables in the kitchen.

Hua Qingran looked up at him, with the desire to break out of the cage in her eyes, her face flushed slightly, and as he held her, his body temperature continued to rise.

"I'll cook for myself." It's not that she doesn't know how to cook, but if she doesn't know how to cook when she's out, she'll starve to death.

"You don't have to do these things when I'm here." Jiang Yubai touched her face with his fingers, "Besides, my dear, you'll be tired at night."

Even in special times, he couldn't just care about his own selfish desires and let her suffer.

Hua Qingran's cheeks flushed, she leaned in and kissed him on the lips, then quickly ran away.

The touch of her lips was slightly cool, and the itch spread to her heart, making her restlessness rise. Jiang Yubai couldn't help but press her into his arms and kiss her fiercely.

After cooking, Jiang Yubai went to her room to find her. She was sitting by the window drawing talismans.

He glanced at the pitiful four or five pieces of talisman paper in her hand, leaned over to pick her up, and asked with a smile beside her ear: "Why did you think of drawing talismans?"

At her current speed, she should be able to draw more talismans during the time he was cooking.

Hua Qingran glanced at him and said, "You ask questions even though you already know the answer. I will calm down."

She was a little panicked.

Seeing her angry expression, Jiang Yubai tightened his grip on her waist, smiled and kissed her lips, "Eat."

He placed her on a chair, served her a bowl of soup, and then sat opposite her.

Hua Qingran saw that he was behaving out of character. In the past, he always sat next to her and held her hand from time to time. There were no chopsticks in front of him, only a cup.

Jiang Yubai took a sip of water from the cup, and when he saw her looking at him, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"You don't want to eat?"

"I'll eat after you're full." He had no appetite to eat now.

She was full and he ate her well.

Listen to the strings of the piano; listen to the words and listen to the sound.

Hua Qingran understood his hidden meaning, took a bite of rice silently, slowed down and dawdled.

Jiang Yubai was no longer anxious and drank the water slowly.

Facing his burning gaze, Hua Qingran finished eating when the last ray of light disappeared.

Jiang Yubai put down the cup, stood up and cleared the dishes.

Watching his back as he walked towards the kitchen, Hua Qingran leaned back in his chair, his thoughts slowly slowing down.

I feel like the days ahead will be difficult.

After a while Jiang Yubai came back and picked her up.

Hua Qingran lay obediently on his shoulder. Seeing that he was not heading to the bedroom, she couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

"Tanchi." He stroked her back and kissed her cheek.

The next moment, Hua Qingran found himself in a new place, immersed in warm spring water.
