Jiang Ling didn't know when he came back to sleep. When she woke up, he had finished practicing sword skills and was washing up.
She rubbed her eyes and blinked at the bed curtains, her head still a little dazed.
Very light footsteps came from far away. As soon as she turned her head, she saw Zhou Jingan's eyes carefully lifting the curtain and peeking in.
Somehow, Jiang Ling suddenly remembered the embarrassing scenes of last night, her face turned red, and she covered her face and turned away.
Zhou Jing'an watched her blush and turn her head away, then smiled.
He sat on the edge of the bed, his hands on either side of her, and reached out to touch her head, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Jiang Ling didn't say anything, just looked at him with her eyes.
Zhou Jing'an looked at those watery eyes, his eyebrows moved slightly, he lowered his head and kissed her hand that was covering her face, and rubbed her forehead lightly.
There was a hint of ill intent in his eyes, and he deliberately dragged out the question: "Last night you..."
After he had said only three words, Jiang Ling quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth, her eyes full of shame and anger.
Zhou Jingan succeeded, and there was a smile in his eyes as he looked at her.
He took the opportunity to kiss her palm, causing Jiang Ling to flinch.
"Ahem...well, I told you not to do that, but you insisted..." Jiang Ling bit her lip.
Zhou Jing'an thought for a moment and remembered that Jiang Ling must have said "don't" last night and the soft little hand that pushed his head away.
He spoke nonsense in a serious tone, "Really? I thought Ling'er was shy and was trying to be reluctant."
"Besides..." He blinked ambiguously, his peach blossom eyes staring at her without blinking, and said softly, "Ling'er, don't you like it very much?"
Jiang Ling immediately got angry, raised her hand and punched him, glaring at him with a wrinkled nose.
"Rogue."
In the end, he just cursed these two words, which was like tickling to Zhou Jing'an.
He looked at her expression of shame and indignation, raised his hand to touch her head and stroke her hair.
"It's my fault. I will definitely listen to Ling'er next time."
As he looked at her like this, his mind couldn't help but replay her appearance last night.
Beads of sweat wet her temples, and tears wet her eyelashes, outlining her round and full eyes. Her eyelids drooped slightly, hiding her shy and blurred eyes. Her pink cheeks were like fluffy clouds dyed red by the sunset in the sky. Her slightly swollen lips were half open, like a cute goldfish, spitting bubbles in the water.
Not to mention other things, such as soft white skin, fragile wrists, and slender and well-proportioned calves...
Even just a casual glance from her could make the veins on Zhou Jing'an's forehead throb.
Zhou Jing'an had a bad feeling and didn't dare to think about it anymore, fearing that the ridiculous mistakes he made last night would be repeated again this morning.
He shook his head, as if trying to shake off those fascinating images.
"Ling'er, are you getting up now? I'll have someone prepare breakfast."
Jiang Ling felt his eyes suddenly become dim, and before she could investigate, he looked away.
I nodded when I heard his words, "I want to eat wontons."
"Okay." Zhou Jing'an responded softly and stood up to give orders.

In the last few days of September, the capital city has become lively again.
Firstly, the annual Autumn Lantern Festival is about to be held. Unmarried young men and women are looking forward to this day to pray for a good marriage. The shops on the street are also preparing for this festival. With more people going out on the streets, it is very lively.
Secondly, a military examination will be held in October this year to select martial arts talents with high martial arts skills for the court to serve as generals.
The registration time for the martial arts examination is in these few days.
Regardless of whether you come from a poor or wealthy family, regardless of age or qualifications, you can sign up.
Therefore, a martial spirit also swept through the capital.
After registration, competitions will be held in various places first, and the top three candidates from each province will be selected and then rushed to the capital to compete.
The top ten will be selected from the capital, and then a unified competition will be held in the capital to select the top three, and the first one will be the top martial arts champion.
This matter had nothing to do with Jiang Ling and the others.
No one from the Jiang family wanted to participate, nor did anyone from the Meng family. Zhou Huanan wanted to go, but there was no competition venue specifically for women. If she were to compete with men, Xia Zhixian would be the first to disagree.
However, something he heard recently made Jiang Ling concerned.
The early autumn scenery of Zhou Mansion was also very interesting, so Jiang Ling invited her sisters to come over for a party.
It came quite complete.
She specifically sent a message to Su Wantang to free her from the boring and tedious days of preparing for her wedding and let her get some fresh air out of the palace.
Cheng An arrived a little later than the others. Today she was wearing a light purple cross-collared, waist-cinching skirt, looking cute and lovely.
As soon as she stepped into the small garden, she attracted the attention of several people.
Jiang Ling had a smile in her eyes. She looked at Wu Wanying and Jiang Fei, then turned to look at Zhou Huanan and Su Wantang. They all smiled without saying a word.
Cheng An felt uneasy when being stared at by several people. He coughed twice and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you recognize me?"
She sat on the stone bench, and several people continued to look at her.
Cheng An sat stiffly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"No, don't scare me." She wailed with a droopy face.
Jiang Ling raised the corner of his mouth, handed her the cake she loved, and looked at her leisurely: "I heard that Qi Tianyang is going to take the martial arts exam."
Cheng An was about to put the pastry into his mouth, but then he ate it again as if nothing had happened.
"What does it have to do with me?"
Seeing that she didn't seem to care, they smiled again.
Wu Wanying gently waved her round fan and looked at her: "Oh? Really?"
