I wouldn't call myself a big drinker! I just drink occasionally.

After the meal, Ning Qing noticed that Meng Zhengxi showed no intention of going back to rest, but instead picked up his calligraphy brush again.

Ning Qing reached out and snatched the calligraphy brush from his hand.

He met Meng Zhengxi's questioning gaze.

"It's late, go wash up and go to bed."

Looking out into the pitch-black tent, Meng Zhengxi was startled to realize that it was already 7 PM.

He nodded and stood up.

"Let's go back to sleep."

Ning Qing was very pleased with these words and really wanted to agree, but then she remembered that she hadn't taken a shower since yesterday!

"I want to take a shower, do you want to come with me?"

Meng Zhengxi's gaze towards Ning Qing held a deeper meaning.

An opening that is not entirely certain.

"You...invite me to bathe together?"

Ning Qing's eyes brightened slightly. Why hadn't he thought of luring someone to bathe together? His wife was so clever, her words had brought him to his senses.

"Well... that's acceptable."

Meng Zhengxi's eyes were deep and unfathomable, but eventually returned to calm.

He reached out and gently placed his hand on Ning Qing's shoulder.

"Let's wait a while longer."

Once you gain some weight and stop being so thin and frail.

Ning Qing... no, does my wife have some misunderstanding about me?

Why do we need to wait a while? Isn't everything fine now?

It could almost be described as having the best of both worlds – no, the best of both worlds was the combination of favorable location and favorable human relations.

At least there's no soft, large bed!

But... the outdoors is pretty nice too!

Before Ning Qing could think further, Meng Zhengxi took the lead and walked ahead.

He left only one sentence: "Let's go, I'll take you there."

A short while later, the two returned to their tent to retrieve a change of clothes. They then went back to the stables.

Same horse, same sitting posture.

The two rode together on one horse and galloped quickly out of the military camp.

The cool night breeze, carrying the scent of fresh grass, gently brushed against my face.

Before long, the two arrived at a lake.

Meng Zhengxi dismounted first, and when he reached out to help Ning Qing down, he found that Ning Qing was standing behind him at some point.

Meeting his questioning gaze, Ning Qing thought to herself: Oh no, he dismounted too quickly. If he had been a little later, he might have gotten some benefits!

Sigh... It's all my fault for being too decisive! I missed out on the perk of my wife helping me down from the horse.

Meng Zhengxi handed Ning Qing the small bundle hanging on the saddle and pointed to the shimmering lake in front of them.

"Go take a shower first. I'll stay here and watch over you. Call me if you need anything."

Ning Qing, "Aren't you going to shower with me?"

Meng Zhengxi gave the same answer as always.

"In a while."

Ningqing...

When they arrived at the lake, Ning Qing placed the change of clothes she was carrying on a large rock nearby.

Then he began to take off his soldier's uniform.

The moment I entered the water, a chill swept over my entire body, and I felt a momentary discomfort.

However, it quickly adapted to the temperature of the lake water.

Ning Qing has mastered swimming skills, trying out backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly stroke... she's done them all!

He didn't forget to shout to the people standing on the shore.

"The water in the lake is very cool, are you really not going to come down?"

Meng Zhengxi shook his head in reply.

"No, you go ahead and wash."

Ning Qing glanced at the figure standing on the shore and pouted.

Ning Qing was having a great time playing in the water, but those standing on the shore could only listen to the splashing water behind them and helplessly look up at the moon.

It was an hour later when Ning Qing finally reached the shore.

Ning Qing, dressed neatly, came to Meng Zhengxi's side.
