Linglong and Zheng Tiansen stayed in the mountains for quite a long time.
But Zheng Tiansen has a watch.
He would look at his watch every now and then to prevent them from going back too late.
Linglong had never paid much attention to the watch on his wrist before, but since they were alone this time and he had looked at it more often, she also took a few glances at it.
Linglong was shocked when she saw this.
She hadn't noticed it before, but now she saw that Zheng Tiansen's watch was an imported watch, a famous luxury watch, Rolex, which she had known in her previous life.
Perhaps because her gaze lingered a little longer, Zheng Tiansen also noticed it.
He raised his wrist. "Want to see?"
Linglong quickly shook her head. "No, no, no, just look at the time."
But after a few seconds of pausing, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zheng, is that Rolex of yours real?"
Zheng Tiansen was a little surprised. "You also know Rolex? This is real."
Rolex is a foreign brand that not many people in China know about, especially ordinary people.
Realizing she had let something slip, Linglong quickly covered it up: "Oh, I forgot who mentioned it."
Zheng Tiansen smiled. "I see. I didn't buy this watch myself. My mom gave it to me. If I could save up enough money for it in a few years, I'd definitely buy it."
This was a birthday present his mother gave him when he came of age, but it wasn't something his mother bought outright; it was one of her collections.
The overall environment was not very good in the past few years, so he didn't dare to wear it outside. He just wore another ordinary domestic watch.
A few months ago, the watch he usually wore broke, and he remembered that he still had this watch, so he took it out and put it on.
Come to think of it, this was the first time someone around him recognized the Rolex brand.
A colleague occasionally asked me about it before, but he only mentioned imported products and foreign brands, and never mentioned the name Rolex.
It's not that he's afraid of people knowing about it, after all, this thing can withstand scrutiny, but he thinks the less trouble there is, the better, so he keeps a low profile.
Knowing that it was given by Zheng's mother, Linglong exclaimed in her heart that Zheng's mother was really rich, and also remembered the things that Wang Meiqi had mentioned about Zheng's mother when she came before.
"Brother Zheng, isn't Auntie very elegant?"
Thinking of his mother, Zheng Tiansen's expression softened a little, and he nodded. "My mom comes from a good family. In the past, she was the daughter of a wealthy family. But later, she followed my dad, and slowly, many of her habits changed."
He knew that his mother did not feel wronged.
His parents had always had a very good relationship, which was something he envied.
In the past few years, my mother's identity was deliberately mentioned by some people with bad intentions. Fortunately, she had a father who loved her wholeheartedly and protected her, so she was able to survive safely.
Because of this, my father's position was affected.
Compared to some people who immediately draw a line in the sand or even proactively report those around them, his parents are truly a role model.
Because their parents have a good relationship, the family atmosphere in their home is always harmonious, and they are a commendable presence in the compound.
Coming back to his senses, Zheng Tiansen looked at Linglong. "But don't be afraid. My mother is a gentle person. She also said she likes you very much."
Linglong was still skeptical about Zheng Tiansen's compliments.
She just sent some food she made to Zheng's mother. Could that make Zheng's mother like it?
"Brother Zheng, what time is it now?" Linglong did not continue the topic.
"It's past five."
"Oh, it's so late, let's go back quickly."
"Okay." He went up the mountain just for Linglong.
Going up the mountain went smoothly, and when going down the mountain, Linglong was carrying a basket full of fish. She was too excited and stepped on a branch without paying attention, and accidentally sprained her foot.
If Zheng Tiansen beside her had not been quick to pull her up, her ankle would have been sprained even more seriously.
When Zheng Tiansen helped Linglong check her ankle, Linglong was so shy.
It’s not that she was bothered by people seeing her feet, but she just felt embarrassed that her feet were held by Zheng Tiansen.
"It's a little swollen, but not serious. I'll go back and apply some medicine, rub it, and get some sleep. I think it will be fine tomorrow."
During training in the army, sprains and injuries would occur from time to time, and he was quite familiar with these.
"Brother Zheng, it's all my fault for being careless."
"That's nothing. Okay, don't leave. I'll carry you back to avoid any further damage."
Linglong hesitated for a moment, then thought that she had already missed work today and it would be awkward not to go tomorrow, so she could only nod.
Zheng Tiansen bent down and squatted, and Linglong climbed up.
After she carried Linglong on her back, she still walked effortlessly.
Linglong's weight and a full basket were nothing to him.
In fact, this is not the first time Linglong has been carried on Zheng Tiansen's back.
During the Chinese New Year, Linglong got drunk after dinner and it was Zheng Tiansen who carried her home. However, she was dizzy at that time and didn't feel much. It was only later, when she was almost "bullied" by Zheng Tiansen, that she sobered up a little.
But now, she is extremely sober.
The distance was very close, and Linglong's heart was beating like a deer when she smelled the unique scent of men's hormones on him, mixed with a little bit of soap.
Carrying her on his back and having close contact with her again, Zheng Tiansen felt very different.
The change in mood also made both of them silent for a moment, and the only sounds around them were the birds singing in the forest and the rustling of branches in the wind.
When they were almost at the camp, Zheng Tiansen finally spoke.
"Linglong, actually, I really want to carry you on my back like this until we grow old."
This sudden disguised confession and love words stimulated Linglong so much that she almost coughed.
How could she answer this? It was too difficult, so Linglong could only remain silent.
Perhaps he didn't require her to answer, so Zheng Tiansen just smiled and continued walking.
After seeing the camp gate, Linglong suggested, "Brother Zheng, why don't you put me down? I feel much better now."
Although everyone now sees them as a couple, there are so many people coming and going in the camp, especially in the family area, and she doesn't really want people to stare at them all the time.
Perhaps Zheng Tiansen also thought of Linglong's concerns, so he did not stop her this time.
"I'll put you down and help you walk slowly."
After he put Linglong down, he held the basket in one hand and held Linglong's arm with the other.
When they walked to the gate, the soldiers asked them questions about their appearance.
"Captain, do you need help?"
"No need, continue to stand guard."
"yes."
Even though they were supported, they were greeted with many greetings when they reached the Tong family's house.
When they learned that Linglong accidentally sprained her ankle, everyone expressed their concern.
When they walked away, most of them envied Zheng Tiansen's kindness to Linglong.
"Oh, look at those two, what a wonderful relationship they have."
"That's right. I don't know when you will get married."
"I guess it's coming soon."
