Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At night, a monkey nimbly ran into Tang Jinghong’s tent and handed a piece of paper to the man who was working.

The man looked at the monkey curiously, then his gaze landed on the pink paper.

He reached out to take it, but the moment he touched it, the paper turned into specks of light. Then, the light flowed and formed some words. “Miss Chu is waiting for you at the mountain peak.”

The man smiled and left the tent without hesitation.

On the mountain peak, Chu Qingzhi sat on a rock. She supported her chin with one hand and stared at the full moon in a daze.

“Qingzhi!”

A clear voice sounded from behind. Chu Qingzhi immediately stood up and turned to walk towards Tang Jinghong. “Jinghong.”

Tang Jinghong hugged the girl in his arms tightly, his heart filled with joy and sweetness. “It’s only been a few hours since 1 last saw you, but 1 feel like it’s been a long time.”

Chu Qingzhi said softly, “Me too.”

Tang Jinghong tightened his grip and asked gently, “What did you do today?”

Chu Qingzhi wrapped her arms around Tang Jinghong’s neck intimately. “I prepared the banquet in the morning and brought my disciples to the mountains in the afternoon to find hops. I’m going to brew beer…”

Qingzhi was about to create something new again. Tang Jinghong asked, “What’s beer?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “It’s a drink that’s especially suitable for drinking in the summer. When it’s brewed, 1’11 let you try it.”

Tang Jinghong said, “Okay.”

After hugging for a while, the two of them separated. Chu Qingzhi pulled Tang Jinghong to sit on the rock.

Tang Jinghong reached out and hugged Chu Qingzhi’s shoulder. Chu Qingzhi leaned against Tang Jinghong’s chest and the two of them admired the moon.

The night breeze rustled the leaves. The moonlight elongated their figures. The ethereal night made everything beautiful.

Chu Qingzhi took out the food box, opened it, and took out the things inside. “I asked Zerong to bring you food today, but I forgot to put this in it. I specially brought some for you. Try it.”

Tang Jinghong took the plate and chopsticks from Chu Qingzhi. “What’s this called?”

Chu Qingzhi’s eyes reflected the moonlight, as bright and beautiful as the stars. “It’s called leaf-wrapped sticky rice cake. It’s very delicious.”

Tang Jinghong took a bite. It was sweet and tasted like peanuts and sesame seeds. It was his favorite taste. He brought it to Chu Qingzhi’s month and fed it to her. “Have a bite too.”

Chu Qingzhi cooperated and took a bite. She deliberately bit the place where Tang Jinghong had bitten and even commented, “It seems to have become sweeter.”

Tang Jinghong’s ears turned red. “Do you want another bite?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “No. I specially brought it for you. Eat more. 1 made it myself.”

Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi’s smiley face. “You are beautiful.”

Chu Qingzhi asked jokingly, “How beautiful?”

Tang Jinghong said readily. “Beautiful enough to feast my eyes. Looking at you, I feel like I can eat ten bowls of rice.”

Chu Qingzhi supported her chin and looked at Tang Jinghong. She smiled and said, “Then will you grow into a fatty?”

Tang Jinghong ate the second leaf-wrapped sticky rice cake. It was really delicious. He kept feeling that Qingzhi’s food was the best. “Will you stop liking me if 1 grow into a fatty?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and asked, “Then if 1 become a fatty, will you stop liking me?”

Tang Jinghong said without hesitation, “No, looks are not important. I don’t value looks.”

Chu Qingzhi said deliberately, “But 1 like handsome men.”

Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi and said seriously, “I’ll be careful not to grow into a fatty.”

Chu Qingzhi laughed out loud. “Hahaha…” Her laughter echoed in the quiet night. It was very crisp and pleasant.

After laughing for a while, she asked, “Jinghong, why did the emperor suddenly confer a title to me?”

Tang Jinghong did not hide it from Chu Qingzhi and said bluntly, “Because the county magistrate and I asked for credit for you at the same time.”

“The county magistrate?” She was not surprised that Tang Jinghong would ask for credit for her, but why did the county magistrate do it too?

Tang Jinghong said in a low voice, “The county magistrate knows what you’ve done. He’s very good at judging the situation, so it’s not surprising that he wants to help you.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded, indicating that she understood.

Tang Jinghong thought that Chu Qingzhi was worried that being in the limelight would put her and her family in harm’s way. “It’s okay. Take whatever is rewarded to you. With me around, you are safe.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Yes, my great general.”

When Tang Jinghong heard Chu Qingzhi say the words “My Great General”, his heart raced. He felt that Qingzhi was teasing him.

He put down the bowl, plate, and chopsticks and pulled Qingzhi over. “Let me hug you for a while more, then I’ll send you back to rest. You have to attend the flower parade tomorrow, so you have to rest early. Qingzhi, it’s been hard on you these days.”

Chu Qingzhi leaned against Tang Jinghong relaxedly. “Will you parade with me tomorrow?”

Tang Jinghong kissed Chu Qingzhi’s forehead and couldn’t help but want to kiss her. “Of course. I’ll be your guardian.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled secretly. This guy seemed to have become bolder, but she quite liked Jinghong taking the initiative. “Jinghong…”

Tang Jinghong’s voice was gentle. “What’s wrong?”

Chu Qingzhi turned around and wrapped her arms around Tang Jinghong’s neck. She placed her face on his shoulder and said, “Nothing. 1 just wanted to call you.”

Tang Jinghong asked with concern, “Are you tired?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “A little.”

Tang Jinghong carried Chu Qingzhi up and said dotingly, “Then 1’11 send you back.”

“Food box.”

Tang Jinghong turned around and asked Chu Qingzhi to pick up the food box.

Then, he carried her and flew down the mountain.

Under the moonlight, Chu Qingzhi’s hair fluttered gently, looking like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

After landing at the foot of the mountain, Chu Qingzhi tidied her hair that was blown by the night wind. “This is the first time someone has carried me like this.”

“There will be many firsts in the future.” Tang Jinghong lowered his head. “As long as I have it, 1’11 give it to you.”

It was undeniable that Chu Qingzhi was seduced again. Ripples spread out in her heart, and she was extremely tempted.

Once she was tempted, she would be impulsive.

She leaned forward and planted a kiss on Tang Jinghong.

Tang Jinghong’s lips curled up into a playful smile. He carried Chu Qingzhi and walked towards her house. “I’ll carry you home.”

Chu Qingzhi swung her legs. “Am 1 heavy?”

Tang Jinghong said very seriously, “Not heavy. 1 can carry you around the county.”

Chu Qingzhi touched Tang Jinghong’s handsome face and joked, “Why don’t we try it someday?”

Tang Jinghong said without any hesitation, “You can choose the time.”

Chu Qingzhi could not help but laugh. She seemed to be especially happy when she was with Jinghong.

Tang Jinghong placed Chu Qingzhi at the entrance of the courtyard and tidied her hair. His eyes were filled with reluctance. “Go in and rest early. I’ll pick you up early tomorrow.”

Chu Qingzhi hugged Tang Jinghong. “You too.”

Tang Jinghong nodded..
