"Brother! What are you doing?"
"Look carefully, I am Fang Qing!"
Fang Qing turned her head and Zhao Shi'an kissed her neck.
Zhao Shi'an was even more displeased.
He frowned and stared at Fang Qing.
"Fang Qing..."
"Yes, I'm Fang Qing. Who do you take me for?"
Zhao Shi'an seemed to have regained his senses, and his eyes finally focused.
Realizing what he had done, his mind went blank.
"I……"
He quickly got up from Fang Qing.
"I'm sorry, I..."
Because he was drunk, his speech was not very clear.
Fang Qing straightened her clothes, feeling uneasy.
"It's okay, you're just drunk."
She and Zhao Shi'an sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Brother, who do you take me for?"
Zhao Shi'an looked at her with a stern face, his gaze tracing her eyebrows and eyes, finally settling on her lips, which were glistening from being kissed.
Fang Qing's struggles and her terrified eyes suddenly became clear.
He hastily looked away.
"Yes, I definitely mistook it for someone else."
Fang Qing was just afraid of him.
He couldn't let her know what he was thinking, otherwise Fang Qing would hate him.
Then he heard Fang Qing breathe a sigh of relief.
A bitter smile appeared on his lips.
"Who is it? I live with my brother every day, how could I not know that he has a female confidante?"
"Nobody's here. Kids shouldn't ask such questions."
"What little kid? I'm all grown up now. Tell me, tell me."
Fang Qing moved a few steps closer to him.
She's still the same as before.
She didn't have any of those messy thoughts in her mind, so she was very open and honest.
But he can't.
Just making normal eye contact with Fang Qing was enough to exhaust his self-control.
Moreover, he's not quite thinking clearly right now.
"I will tell you when the time is right. Go to sleep, it's getting late."
He sounded very tired, and Fang Qing figured he must be exhausted, so she got up.
"Brother, you shouldn't drink so much in the future, lest something like today happens again."
Zhao Shi'an gritted his teeth, almost smelling the blood in his mouth.
"knew."
The door was opened and then closed again.
Zhao Shi'an collapsed onto the bed as if all his strength had been drained.
Fang Qing's scent still lingered on the bed. He buried his face in the pillow and took a deep breath.
Even if he drank a lot, he would never do such a thing to anyone else if he wasn't in such a relaxed environment and if Fang Qing wasn't around.
Fang Qing didn't take what Zhao Shi'an did that night to heart.
However, she was more curious about who Zhao Shi'an mistook her for.
Having lived together for so many years and knowing each other so well, it's truly unimaginable what it would be like for Zhao Shi'an to fall for someone.
Did Zhao Shi'an have any romantic relationships in his previous life?
No, he was alone until his death. You changed him in this life.
"This is a good thing."
[This is a good thing for the world's safety, but for him, it might be a calamity.]
"What do you mean? Is the system setting up a love tribulation for him?"
[Originally, he was portrayed as a loyal minister devoid of personal feelings, devoted solely to the court and the people. However, if he develops emotions, it might deviate from this established character.]
Fang Qing disagreed.
"Who says that a loyal minister who is devoted to the country and its people cannot have feelings?"
He's too stubborn; unless the person he loves also loves him for life, he's very likely to turn evil again.
"Is it that serious?"
Of course, otherwise why do you think his villainy rating has remained consistently at fifty? His very existence is a danger.
"That's a system setting, how can you blame him?"
Xiaodou stopped talking.
When Fang Qing woke up in the morning, she packed their things and stayed for two more days before they boarded a horse-drawn carriage and left the county town.
After returning home, Fang Qing learned that Fang Daniu had paid for the construction of a house for the Qiao family.
Fang Qing didn't say anything, but Zhao Shi'an didn't quite agree.
Afterwards, Fang Daniu called Zhao Shi'an aside and said something to him. They didn't let Fang Qing know what they said. Anyway, Zhao Shi'an didn't hate the Qiao family as much anymore.
After that, they were busy with the autumn harvest and no longer had the heart to care about the Qiao family's affairs.
Fang Dashu returned from the prefectural city during the autumn harvest and came to their house to help as soon as possible.
After Fang Sanhua's business took off over the years, she rented out the land, and during the busy farming season, they would come to Fang Qing's house to help.
That day, Fang Qing and Zhao Shi'an sat on the edge of the field watching the workers haul corn away. The two of them kept track of the quantity when Fang Dashu came over with a bowl of sweet soup.
"Bean Sprout, hurry up and try my sweet soup."
He poured a bowl for each of them with great enthusiasm.
Zhao Shi'an didn't touch it; he kept staring at the carriages coming and going.
"It's delicious! Did you make this, Brother Big Tree?"
"Haha, how about it? Don't you think your Brother Big Tree is really amazing?"
Fang Qing smiled too.
"Yeah, Brother Big Tree is really amazing."
"If you think I'm amazing, hurry up and become my wife. I'll cook you even more delicious food in the future."
Zhao Shi'an gave him a cold look.
"She doesn't need that food."
Fang Daniu ignored him, leaning on the table and looking at Fang Qing.
"How's your decision? Do you want to be my wife?"
Although he was smiling, his eyes were very serious.
"Big Tree, don't joke around. In my heart, you're the same as my brother."
One sentence broke the hearts of two men.
Fang Dashu's eyes dimmed slightly.
