Jiang Shanhe actually wanted to spend more time with Xiaoguo. Even if they did nothing, he wanted to be with her, even if it was just a daze. As long as they were together, it would be fine, with her.

Xiaoguo nodded, and Jiang Shanhe boldly took her hand and walked together.

The two walked along the mansion. The general's mansion was not very big.

At first Jiang Shanhe did not live here. The emperor allocated him a mansion with a small park. However, Jiang Shanhe did not like a mansion that was too big, and he did not have so many people to live with, so a smaller one would be fine. So he came to this newly built mansion, which was not big but enough for him to live in.

Although this place is not big, it has what it should have. There is an artificial river view in the backyard. Although it is not big, it is still enjoyable to appreciate. People can sit in the pavilion next to it and feel the breeze, which is also comfortable.

The moon in the sky was very big. Xiao Guo looked up and found that the moon in ancient times was also very big and bright, five times bigger than the modern moon.

There was moonlight, and although there were no lights around, it was not dark at all.

Xiaoguo could see clearly the comfort and tenderness on the face of Jiang Shanhe, who was holding her at the moment.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shanhe felt Xiaoguo's gaze and turned around to look at her.

Xiaoguo was startled by his sudden turn around, and she tripped over a small stone.

"Ah!" Xiaoguo exclaimed.

"careful!"

Jiang Shanhe grabbed Xiaoguo, who was leaning back, and with a strong rebound, Xiaoguo came into his arms.

Maybe it was the moon's fault, Xiaoguo and Jiang Shanhe's hearts were beating fast.

As the two were getting closer, Xiao Guo yelled, "Calm down!"

After the sound, there was a moment of silence. The two looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.

“…My back hurts.”

At this moment, Xiaoguo's waist was still held in Jiang Danhe's arms, with her upper body suspended in the air.

Jiang Danhe shone on her face and straightened Xiaoguo. The charming atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant.

Xiaoguo quickly stood up straight, and there was a hint of embarrassment in the air.

Jiang Danhe looked at Xiaoguo with both amusement and anger. Just when he was about to take further action, he was stopped by her immediately.

"Come sit over there."

Jiang Shanhe was afraid that Xiaoguo would sprain her ankle again, so he held her arm and took her to the pavilion.

“The air is still good.”

The two of them felt somewhat awkward with each other, so Xiaoguo tried to find a topic to talk about.

“Indeed.”

Jiang Danhe spoke in a neutral tone, obviously still remembering that Xiaoguo had interrupted him just now, causing him to miss a good opportunity.

“…”

The air fell silent again.

Xiao Guo took advantage of the darkness and secretly glared at Jiang Shanhe. How could anyone talk to you like that?

After a long while, neither of them spoke. Jiang Shanhe just looked up at the moon, his eyes full of contemplation.

"I loved looking at the moon when I was in the army."

Jiang Shanhe said suddenly, he looked up at the moon, his eyes full of memories.

Xiaoguo looked at him doubtfully and listened to him quietly.

"After being captured, I followed the troops to Licheng. I had to kill enemies non-stop during the day and take turns on duty at night. I didn't have enough food or warm clothes every day. It was very cold at night. There was no grass growing around, it was a wasteland, and there was only a bright moon..."

Xiaoguo listened carefully, her heart also fluctuating with him, it turned out that he had such a hard life...

"...At that time, I wrapped myself tightly in thin clothes and looked at the moon, the only thing that made me feel warm. It was so close and so bright..."

There was a gleam in Jiang Shanhe's eyes. Xiao Guo couldn't help but move closer to him, patted his shoulder gently and comforted him.

The man was stunned, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Xiao Guo was about to take her hand back, but Jiang Shanhe held her hand tightly and pulled her into his arms, pressing her against his heart.

"You know what? I feel really relieved right now."

Jiang Shanhe looked at Xiaoguo with a smile on his face. Xiaoguo was moved by the look in his eyes and nodded, "I know."

Eyes never lie. Jiang Shanhe's eyes are different when he looks at himself and Zhuangzhuang and when he looks at others. Xiaoguo actually knew this a long time ago, but she has been avoiding it, avoiding his feelings, avoiding her feelings...

Thinking of this, Xiao Guo gained a little courage, couldn't help but smile wider, nodded heavily and said again, "I know!"

“Hahahahahahaha…”

Jiang Shanhe laughed out loud after a while. His laughter was so bright and hearty. It was the happiest words he had ever heard since he was born. Although they were only three simple words, his heart was beating fast.

Xiaoguo was a little embarrassed at first, her face flushed, and she shyly pushed Jiang Shanhe to ask him to stop laughing, and from time to time she looked around to see if there was anyone around.

After a while, seeing that he still didn't stop, I just ignored him and laughed. What a silly guy!

Xiao Guo pursed her lips lightly, watching Jiang Shanhe's silly laughter with amusement. He was really silly enough, haha~

"Don't laugh, Jiang Shanhe, don't laugh, hahaha..."

Seeing him like this, Xiaoguo couldn't help herself.

Seeing her laughing, Jiang Shanhe couldn't stop laughing anymore. He leaned over and hugged Xiaoguo. They both fell on the bench and laughed at each other like two psychopaths...

–

The next day, Xiaoguo woke up early and put clothes on Zhuangzhuang and Xiaoyi who were still sleeping.

Today, not only Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang left, but Xiaoyi also had to go back to the palace. He had been out for a long time, and now that Zhuangzhuang had also left, he had no reason to stay.

Xiaoguo put down the two sleeping children, tidied up her bag and put it aside, and also tidied up Xiaoyi's small bag and put it aside.

"Zhuangzhuang, Xiaoyi, wake up."

Xiaoguo opened the door and gently called the two children who were still sleeping.

Zhuangzhuang woke up slowly, rubbed his eyes, and slowly sat up, "Mom, should we set off?"

After hearing the noise, Xiao Yi also stood up and nervously held Zhuangzhuang's hand, not wanting to separate from him.

"Not yet. I'll leave after breakfast."

Xiaoguo tied up the two children's hair that had been twisted due to sleeping.

Jiang Shanhe came over and asked a few people to have breakfast. Xiaoguo nodded, picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

With Jiang Danhe around, he would not let Xiaoguo carry the bag. He skillfully took the bag from Xiaoguo's arm, and then they went to the hall to eat together.

Along the way, Xiao Yi held Zhuangzhuang's hand tightly and refused to separate from him.

When we arrived at the hall, Li Shouji was also standing by the table, waiting for a few people.

Seeing Xiaoguo, he walked up to her and said, "Sister-in-law, the carriage is waiting outside. I'll take the bag up first. Don't be in a hurry and eat slowly."

Xiaoguo responded with a "OK" and looked at Jiang Shanhe.

Jiang Shanhe nodded and handed the bundle to Li Shouji.

"Let's eat."

–

All good things must come to an end.

Xiao Guo led Zhuang Zhuang to the door and looked at the group of people behind them, "Let's go back."

Xiaoguo deliberately avoided Jiang Shanhe because she felt that Jiang Shanhe was about to cry, and she was not exaggerating, there were real tears in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Xiaoguo felt bad, so she could only pretend to be relaxed and said to everyone, "Everyone go back, we're leaving first, and we'll see you again if we're lucky."

Li Shouji scratched his head, blinked his eyes, and waved at Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang.

Jiang Shanhe walked quickly towards the two of them and looked at them with a tone that seemed to be hesitant to speak.
