"It's too stuffy in the carriage, Auntie, why don't you come outside and sit for a while?" Song Tantan's face was flushed, and sweat was beading on her forehead.

This damn weather! It was much cooler a couple of days ago when it rained heavily, but now that it's sunny, it's unbearably hot. She really misses the sleeveless T-shirts and short-sleeved skirts from the supermarket.

She really wanted to take a nap in the space. The temperature there was perfect for her, always kept constant, making her feel very comfortable.

"I heard the sound of water ahead, there should be a small river or stream. Let's take her there to wash up, she's too dirty." I don't know how long it's been since the little girl had a bath or changed her clothes. In this hot weather, all sorts of unpleasant smells came out, especially pungent ones.

When they left the inn, Song Zhuiyan put the dog into her spatial storage. Now that they were going to the stream and there was no one watching the carriage, she let the dog out.

Taishan disappeared as soon as he appeared, but Ye Moxun stopped the other dogs from running away. "Find a shady place to rest, don't go too far, and keep an eye on the carriage."

The dogs had no choice but to obey. Song Tantan gave Song Zhuiyan a look, signaling her to take Qiu Ping and leave first. Once they were out of sight, she took out ice from her spatial storage and fed each dog a piece to cool them down.

"I want a soda, an iced one." Ye Moxun looked at her with a sorrowful expression, only thinking about the dog, but not caring about him.

Song Tantan took out a bowl of chilled mung bean soup for him, "Drink less soda, it's bad for your health if you drink too much, drink mung bean soup instead."

Ye Moxun was helpless; he was so hot he felt like he was about to burst into flames. He didn't want to waste any more words arguing with her, so he took the bowl and gulped down the mung bean soup in one go.

"I need to find a way to let my aunt have some mung bean soup too. It's a pity I can't let Qiuping have some. Sigh, people in ancient times were so pitiful. They had such a shortage of resources. Even if I wanted to give them some to try, I couldn't."

If her personal space were exposed, it might be compromised, and of course she wouldn't expose herself for the sake of others.

"You're overthinking it. They don't feel sorry for themselves because they've never had it, so they don't even dream about it. Only those who have had it before and suddenly lose it feel like they've fallen from heaven to hell." Ye Moxun said calmly, and handed the empty bowl back to her.

Song Tantan frowned, snatched the bowl, and casually tossed it into her spatial storage, saying indignantly, "Isn't this describing us? We're really too miserable."

"Alright, stop acting innocent after getting a good deal. I'm the one who should be complaining. I have nothing. My memories from my past life aren't a cheat code; they're a permanent pain." In his past life, he had everything he wanted. Anything that could be solved with money wasn't a problem because his family never lacked money.

"You're in so much pain right now, don't you have any good memories at all?" Song Tantan squinted, her small fists clenched so tightly behind her back that they cracked.

Ye Moxun's handsome face stiffened for a moment, then he quickly realized, "...Of course not. What I'm most grateful for is meeting my uncle, you, and aunt. What I'm most grateful to God for is that it allowed me to meet you."

"I think what you're most glad about is finding out I have a supermarket. Since then, you've been clinging to me. You've got your eye on my supermarket." Song Tantan concluded decisively, her anger rising again, feeling like it was about to explode.

Seeing this, Ye Moxun gasped, feeling quite helpless, and hurriedly explained, "That's not how it is. The supermarket is not as important as you. Maybe the supermarket was the most important before, but not anymore. After I fell in love with you, you became the most important."

"I don't believe you. Your words are not convincing at all. You have to find a reason that can convince me, or I'm not done with you." Her anger flared up so fiercely that Song Tantan stood with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at the other person, determined to get an explanation.

"Speak up! Why aren't you saying anything? Silence means consent. You really didn't like me. You just like my supermarket. Waaah, I'm so pitiful. How could I have fallen for a heartless wretch like you? I've raised you for so many years for nothing, and you still dare not like me..."

Ye Moxun: "..." He already said he was sincere, so why is he being unreasonable? What does he need to do to prove he is serious?

"You heartless man, how dare you not like me? You've hurt me so much. I've raised you for nothing, sob sob sob..." Song Tantan covered her face, not knowing whether she was really crying or faking it, but her crying gave Ye Moxun a headache.

"Song Tantan, that's enough. If I really didn't like you, I would never force myself to do that. Do you think I'm such a spineless person that I would pretend to like you just for the sake of a stutter?" Ye Moxun laughed in anger.

"Take your hand off me and let me see if you're really crying. You're just faking it; not a single tear has fallen. You little liar! You should be asking if you really like me, you little liar!" Ye Moxun removed her hand and found that apart from sweat, her eyes were clear and bright, without any moisture at all. He was furious.

"If you pretend to cry again and lie to me again, I'm going to teach you a lesson today and show you what I'm capable of, so you won't try to fool me again next time."

"Ye Moxun, what are you doing? Do you want to fight me? You can't beat me." Song Tantan laughed as she backed away, trying to prevent him from grabbing her.

The two chased and played around for a while before running into a grove of trees. Song Tantan bumped into a tree trunk unexpectedly, but Ye Moxun quickly braced himself against the trunk with both hands, trapping her in the middle and preventing her from moving away.

Another tree thud.

"What do you want to do? You want to..." She wanted to say, "Are you going to confess again?" but before she could finish, her lips were sealed with a kiss.

Ye Moxun pressed his thin lips against hers without making any further moves. His peach blossom eyes gazed down at her with a startling light, and Song Tantan's heart suddenly raced, her mind going completely blank.

So how long is he going to keep kissing her like this? Until the end of time?

Is this the first kiss she's waited two lifetimes for? How boring and hot it will be to remember it in the future. Ye Mo was looking for a vegetable and the sweat on his forehead dripped onto her forehead, down her eyebrows and long eyelashes, making her blink her left eye a few times.

Then his lips left hers, and their noses met. The air was already scorching hot, and now the atmosphere was so stifling it felt like it would burst.

"I'll stamp this, and from now on you're mine, got it?" Ye Moxun suddenly channeled his domineering CEO persona, uttering lines straight out of an old-fashioned romance novel.

Ah, men.

Song Tantan: "Man, you've successfully piqued my interest. Very good, from now on you're mine."

Ye Moxun twitched his lips and reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead. He also wiped the sweat from his own forehead, not knowing whether it was from the heat or from nervousness, but he kept sweating more and more.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go wash up by the stream, or your aunt will start to get suspicious." Ye Moxun pulled her hand and walked forward.

"We didn't accomplish anything, so what's there to suspect?" Song Tantan muttered in dissatisfaction.

"What do you want me to do to you?" Ye Moxun asked with a half-smile, tightening his grip on her hand.

"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense." After denying it three times, Song Tantan shook him off and ran away.
