In the darkness of the night, Xiao Heng, who was just about to fall asleep, slowly opened his eyes. After feeling Jiang Li's trembling, he turned over and put his long arms around her and held her in his arms.

"Ali, don't be afraid."

Xiao Heng rested his chin on the top of Jiang Li's head and said something soothing.

Being hugged by his strong and broad chest, Jiang Li's emotions gradually calmed down. She snuggled into his arms and fell into a deep sleep again.

Xiao Heng maintained the same posture, not daring to move, for fear of waking her up.

After her breathing became steady, Xiao Heng lowered his head and placed a kiss on her hair. Then he raised his head like a thief and looked away.

Jiang Li in his arms was sleeping soundly and did not respond.

Xiao Heng breathed a sigh of relief, moved his head to the side and looked down at her.

The firelight danced on her face, making her facial lines look even warmer and softer.

Xiao Heng's gaze moved from her brow downwards, imprinting every one of her facial features deeply in his mind.

When his eyes fell on her lips, he paused, swallowed, and his breathing became rapid.

The plump and attractive pink lips are shining with a lustrous luster, as if issuing a silent invitation.

Xiao Heng stared at her lips, fantasizing that one day he would be able to touch them and taste the softness and sweetness that belonged only to her.

With the delicate girl in his arms, Xiao Heng reacted unconsciously.

In order to prevent himself from having any more dirty and evil thoughts, he quickly retracted his gaze, gently kissed Jiang Li on her smooth forehead, hugged her with a satisfied look on his face, and closed his eyes.

When Jiang Li woke up the next day, Xiao Heng was no longer by her side.

She sat up and stretched. The rain outside had stopped and the morning light shone in from the cave, leaving mottled shadows on the ground.

"Ah Heng?"

She looked around the cave but didn't see any sign of Xiao Heng, so she got up and went out of the cave.

The white horse was chewing hay outside. When it heard Jiang Li's voice, it turned its head to look at her and raised its hoof at her.

Jiang Li walked up to it with a smile and touched the horse's belly. The white horse neighed even more happily after feeling her touch.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this horse liked Jiang Li very much and was very human-like.

"Ali, you're awake."

When Xiao Heng came back, he saw a man and a horse standing together. The scene was extremely harmonious.

Jiang Li turned her head and looked over. "Good morning, are you picking fruit?"

"I didn't eat last night. I was afraid you would be hungry when you woke up, so I went to the nearby forest to pick some diamond fruits to taste and see if they are sweet."

Xiao Heng came up to her and handed her the cleaned fruit.

Jiang Li took a bite, a smile on her lips, looking charming and beautiful.

"sweet."

She was holding the fruit, and the moment she raised her eyes, she met Xiao Heng's deep eyes.

The sweet and delicious juice flowed down the corners of her mouth, and Xiao Heng subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it for her.

After realizing what he was doing, he quickly withdrew his hand, his fingertips were terribly hot.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Xiao Heng quickly turned around to hide the panic on his face and walked forward, leading the horse.

Jiang Li curled her lips as she looked at his back, then followed him slowly while biting the fruit.

It was already noon when the two returned. Fortunately they had no classes that morning, otherwise their sneaking out would have been discovered sooner or later.

Xiao Heng whistled, and the white horse rubbed Jiang Li's hand reluctantly, then ran towards the stable on its own initiative.

"Let's go."

Xiao Heng didn't even turn his head, and flew back to the academy after he finished speaking.

Watching Xiao Heng disappear in a flash, Jiang Li pursed her lips and glanced at the dog hole next to her.

No, no, I can't let Xiao Heng see such a shameful thing as drilling a dog hole! Thinking of this, Jiang Li gritted her teeth and used her most inferior Qinggong.

She did fly up, but she was hung on the wall. Her insignificant internal strength was not enough to support her to climb over the wall.

Jiang Li grabbed the wall with both hands, not knowing whether to go up or down, and her face turned red!

"Ali, what are you doing up there? Come down quickly."

After hearing the noise behind him, Xiao Heng looked up at Jiang Li who was lying on the wall.

Jiang Li: “…”

She squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Do you think I don't want to go down?"

Damn it! She can't get down! ! Seeing her red face, Xiao Heng suddenly realized something, flew to her side, put his arm around her waist and brought her in.

"call--"

Jiang Li rubbed her waist and abdomen which were hurt by the impact of the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Puff~”

Xiao Heng couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, and my two brothers are all very good at Qinggong, but I didn't expect Ah Li's Qinggong to be so good..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, Jiang Li glanced over at him, and Xiao Heng quickly tightened his mouth and kept silent.

Jiang Li glared at him and brushed off the dust on her body.

As the conversation changed, Xiao Heng suddenly remembered another thing.

"Since Ah-Li's Qinggong is not good, then how did she get out yesterday?" Xiao Heng asked in confusion. Suddenly he thought of something and turned his head to look to the side. "Could it be that she got out from... um!"

Seeing that the word "dog hole" was about to come out of his mouth, Jiang Li quickly stood on tiptoe and covered his mouth.

"Shut up! If you dare to mention this to anyone else you're done for!"

Jiang Li still wants this little bit of face.

She is the legitimate daughter of a general, and her ancestors were all generals with great kung fu skills. However, her lightness skills are rubbish. She can't even climb over a wall, and has fallen to the point of crawling through a dog hole. If people knew about this, they would surely laugh their heads off!

Xiao Heng nodded and held up three fingers to assure Jiang Li.

Jiang Li narrowed her eyes and looked at him deeply, and only let go of his hand after making sure that he would keep it a secret for her.

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and teased her deliberately, "Don't worry, Ah Li, I won't tell anyone about you crawling through the dog hole."

After saying that, he ran away. Jiang Li stomped her feet and chased after him, lifting her skirt.

"Xiao, Heng! Stop right there!"

****** Jiang Li beat up Xiao Heng and returned to Taoyuan.

"Ali, you're finally back!"

"Where did you go last night? We were all worried sick!"

After being worried all night, Su Luoluo and Si Yao and others gathered in Jiang Li's room and surrounded her.

"Okay, I'm fine, right? It suddenly started raining on the way back yesterday, so Xiao Heng and I went to the cave. We originally wanted to wait until the rain stopped before coming back, but it kept raining harder and harder. We had no choice but to stay in the cave for the night."

"Come and see if you like the presents I brought you."

Jiang Li opened the bag containing the gifts and took credit to several sisters.

However, the young sisters didn't even bother to look at the inner room. They all bent down and came towards her.

"Ali, you said you and Xiao Heng spent the night in the cave?"

"You, you, you two were alone in the same cave last night?"
