As soon as she realized what nonsense she was saying, Su Wantang wished she could turn back time and give herself a couple of injections to clear her head.
She wanted to offer a few words of explanation, but then she felt that perhaps Lu Huai'an hadn't meant anything by it, and that if she did, it would only make her look like she was trying to hide something.
So, Su Wantang calmly said, "Aren't we going to eat? Let's go."
Su Wantang was unaware that, given the significant height difference, Lu Huai'an had clearly seen through her earlier regret.
Looking at her adorable expression, as if nothing had happened, Lu Huai'an's cold, hard eyebrows softened with a hint of a smile.
"Okay, let's eat."
After dinner, Lu Huai'an went to wash the dishes, while Su Wantang went to the bathroom to wash up. When she came out, she bumped into Lu Huai'an, who was also washing up. Su Wantang quickly made way for him.
As they passed each other, Lu Huai'an paused for a moment.
"Wantang, I forgot to answer you."
"What?"
"It's not hot anymore."
Instantly, Su Wantang felt a flame ignite in the dark eyes that met her gaze. Without even looking, Su Wantang felt that her face was frighteningly red.
She calmly gave an "Oh," and quickly walked back to her room. As she closed the door, she heard the man's low chuckle.
Bang.
With the door closed tightly, Su Wantang collapsed onto the bed, rolling around in the blankets.
"Ahhh! Did Lu Huai'an figure it out or not? If he did, why did he emphasize it so much? Was he deliberately trying to make fun of me? But judging from his expression, it doesn't seem like he did. But if he didn't figure it out, why was he laughing?..."
Amidst the incessant squeaking of the groundhog, Su Wantang gradually exhausted herself and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, the two prepared some necessities and went up the mountain to collect herbs.
Although Su Wantang was aiming for the century-old ginseng, she didn't overlook other common medicinal herbs either, picking some to plant in the yard.
The space can be used to grow medicinal herbs, and the medicinal effects will be better, but in order to avoid arousing suspicion, it is still necessary to keep it a secret.
Su Wantang scanned the lush green land, searching for medicinal herbs, while Lu Huai'an kept an eye on the surroundings for safety while searching for something.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
"Wantang, take a break?" Lu Huai'an called out to Su Wantang, who was still in high spirits.
If Lu Huai'an hadn't brought it up, Su Wantang wouldn't have felt tired, but once he did, she felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her.
She nodded: "Okay, let's rest for a while."
Not long after Su Wantang sat down, Lu Huai'an clung to her side.
He stared intently at her, catching her completely off guard.
"Wantang, I like you."
"Cough cough cough." Su Wantang was startled.
Lu Huai'an moved closer. They were originally leaning against two tree trunks. As soon as Lu Huai'an turned to the side, half of his back left the tree trunk. With this movement, his strong arms completely encircled Su Wantang in the tree and in his arms.
"Wantang, are you alright?"
A strong masculine scent wafted over her, and Su Wantang subconsciously held her breath. She bit her lower lip and shook her head.
"Don't bite."
Lu Huai'an's calloused fingertips brushed against Su Wantang's lower lip, freeing her from her pearly teeth by her soft, bright red lips.
Su Wantang's eyes widened.
Something's wrong! Lu Huai'an is acting very strangely!
"Wantang, may I kiss you?" Lu Huai'an pressed his fingertip against her red lips, his deep black eyes igniting a dark fire that was inexplicably alluring.
Faced with such beauty, Su Wantang's mind went blank for a moment.
Why ask her in this awkward moment? Didn't we just kiss last time?
Su Wantang didn't speak, but Lu Huai'an suddenly stood up and took off his shirt.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Lu Huai'an leaned in again, holding Su Wantang's small hand: "Don't you like me? Be my boyfriend, and I'll let you touch me every day."
Su Wantang swallowed twice, her fingertips just about to take the opportunity to touch him, when Lu Huai'an used his arms to block in front of him, protecting himself. He said very principledly, "Only my wife can touch me."
I was already getting into it, and then you pull this on?
Su Wantang also got angry and snorted, "Fine, I won't touch you then. Who cares?"
Turning her head, she saw the half-eaten food, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled with a hint of smirk.
"Let me touch you, and I'll kiss you."
Lu Huai'an's dark, bright eyes struggled for a moment: "No, only my wife can kiss me and touch me."
"Ink stains".
Su Wantang pulled the chaste young wife over directly, but Lu Huai'an easily grabbed Su Wantang, the bandit leader, with a backhand.
"Do you want to be my wife? If you become my wife, I'll let you kiss me and touch me."
Su Wantang hesitated for a second: "Let go, and I'll be your wife."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Huai'an let go of her hand and kissed her directly, even thoughtfully placing Su Wantang's fingers on her waist.
Su Wantang's remaining rationality told her that something was wrong, but the next second, the intense kiss and the taut muscles under her fingertips stole her attention again.
