The sun sets in the sky, the glow becomes increasingly dark red, and the sky gradually darkens.
After dinner, it was time to rest. Shen Xingzhou looked at Fu Hong and the driver and said, "Except for the large room in the main hall which belongs to Xiaoxiao, you can choose the others."
Fu Hong waved at him and did not look for a room immediately. He first went to Fu Xiao's room to take a look. There was a kang (a bed with a thick blanket on it). He touched the edge of the kang and nodded with satisfaction.
As long as the kang is warm, it's fine.
He sat on the kang and chatted with Fu Xiao for a few words. When it was completely dark, he stretched and said, "Sister, I'm going to sleep now. Remember to close the door after I leave."
When he reached the door, he reminded her again, "Make sure to close the door."
Fu Xiao nodded, and Fu Hong walked into a room and took a look, then looked at another room, frowned and said, "Why don't these rooms have kangs?"
Shen Xingzhou walked out of the room and said with a smile: "Second brother, only the master bedroom has a kang... The other rooms don't have one, but the quilts are all thick. If you're still cold, you can light a brazier."
Fu Hong curled his lips and walked into the room. After a while, he walked into the driver's room holding a quilt, "Uncle, let's squeeze in."
Although the quilt is thick, it is still a quilt. He is afraid of the cold, so the two of them huddle together to keep warm.
The driver laughed and patted the side of the bed to express his welcome.
After driving for such a long time, the driver fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.
Fu Hong who was standing next to him had not originally planned to go to bed so early. After all, there was a wolf here that was eyeing his sister, and he wanted to keep an eye on it. However, after hearing the driver's snoring and feeling sore all over from sitting in the car, he fell asleep in a daze.
The moonlight is exceptionally beautiful tonight. The gentle moon has quietly hung on the branches without my knowing when, like a dazzling gem, setting off the quiet night.
There was a knock on the door. Fu Xiao opened it and looked at the man standing at the door and sighed, "You are really brave."
"My second brother is asleep, I have something to say,"
"Do we have to tell it tonight?"
Shen Xingzhou chuckled, with a sigh in his tone: "Xiaoxiao, do I have a chance to get close to you during the day? I'm afraid I won't have a chance when we get there tomorrow."
Fu Xiao turned sideways and said, "Come in."
The man who walked in whispered, "Xiaoxiao, it's cold, so I closed the door."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything..."
Fu Xiao: “…” If he hadn’t said the last sentence, she wouldn’t have thought too much about it.
As soon as these words were spoken, a strange atmosphere filled the whole room.
She went straight into bed, leaning against the pillow, and looked up at him.
Chen Xingzhou slowly closed the door and turned back to meet her gaze. His girl's eyes were clear, calm and transparent, like glass dipped in ice and snow, cold and rippled with light with just a slight blink.
Against the dim candlelight, her facial features appear even more delicate and stunning.
So beautiful!
Feeling a little awkward being looked at by him, Fu Xiao said, "What do you want to say?"
She shifted her gaze away, not noticing that Shen Xingzhou's eyes when he looked at her had become tinged with darkness.
Shen Xingzhou walked to the kang and sat down, "I want to talk to you about some of my plans,"
"Hmm?" Fu Xiao sat up straight and listened attentively, "You said..."
"I don't plan to take the college entrance examination this time..."
Shen Xingzhou moved forward calmly and continued, "I should be able to be promoted two levels by the end of the year. The department I work for looks at merit. I want to accumulate some merit in the next few years, and it would be best if I could be promoted to a certain position and have a military rank."
"When the time comes, step down,"
Fu Xiao was puzzled: "Why do you want to withdraw?"
"It's enough to get to that position. I want to go into business in the future... I can just take a degree in business administration after I retire."
Fu Xiao smiled at him and asked, "How old will you be when you retire? Do you think there is no age limit for taking the college entrance exam?"
Shen Xingzhou chuckled: “Only if you have money and ability, can you have a degree that you can’t pass the exam?”
Fu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Since you plan to go into business in the future, why do you have to fight for these few years? From what I know, your mission is not that easy, and you are risking your life. Why do you have to have this military rank?"
To protect you.
Shen Xingzhou didn't say this, he just smiled, curved his peach blossom eyes and leaned closer, "If I don't even have a military rank, but am just a merchant, when we are together, others will think I am a gigolo."
Fu Xiao smiled faintly: "Do you care about this?"
"I don't mind,"
I only heard him say with a faint smile, "Besides, I'm willing to eat your free food."
Fu Xiao raised his hand and pushed him, "Why do you have to wait a few more years...Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble because of greed?"
The next moment, her hand was held by Shen Xingzhou, and he looked at her firmly, “Nothing will happen to me.”
His palm was broad and warm, as if carrying an electric current, wrapping her hand inside. He spoke again to emphasize: "Nothing will happen to me. When I retire, I will always be with you. If you like to do research, then do it. I will always protect you and watch over you."
Fu Xiao paused and felt his heart beating faster.
She asked: "But you are still unwilling to accept the help of the Mu family?"
Shen Xingzhou nodded, “Xiaoxiao, I am a man,”
Yes, he is a man, and a very good man. Such men usually have strong self-esteem.
Fu Xiao lowered his eyelashes, emotions surging in his eyes.
She wondered if they were really suitable for each other.
She raised her eyes to look at him, and asked with a smile: "But my future children must have the surname Mu... Can your dignity accept this?"
