ly next time.As she picked vegetables inside, Yulian and Zongbai stood by nervously. They kept reminding her to be careful of her footing, afraid she might accidentally step on a single vegetable leaf...She subconsciously clutched her collar, her eyes filled with apprehension.

Zongyu leaned down, his eyes dark.

Although his mind held no recollection of past interactions with Fang Jinxiu, a wave of familiar emotion surged through him the moment he drew near her.

After four years of abstinence, Zong Yu had thought he no longer possessed such desires.

In the army, everyone is a rough guy. When men get together, they inevitably say some dirty jokes. Especially those who are already married, when describing their conjugal life, they paint vivid pictures that stir up everyone's inner desires.

They are all young and energetic, so this kind of situation is unavoidable.

He only cares about reputation, and remains unmoved every time.

Sometimes he even felt strange, wondering if something was wrong with his body.

But once he dreamt of Fang Jinshi, whom he had only met once, his country wife.

My body reacted violently and suddenly, hardening all night without explanation.

Here it is again.

The moment his palm touched her skin as he was washing her feet, he reacted.

The ground below is scorching hot, unbearable.

He could endure it, after all. When he didn't want others to see anything amiss, no one should be able to detect the slightest fluctuation in his expression.

At this close distance, pressed against Fang Jinxiu, Zong Yu only felt his mouth dry and his heart racing.

Her evasive eyes sobered him up instantly, and he quickly reined in those inappropriate thoughts.

At least it's not the time now.

He licked his molars, forcing down the overwhelming urge, and pulled over a blanket from the side to cover Fang Jinshu.

His voice was a low, raspy growl as he spoke, his hot breath spraying across Fang Jinxiu's delicate neck, making her shiver with goosebumps.

"My lady, I know I was wrong."

"As my wife, you belong to me for life."

"I'll accept being scolded and beaten, but divorce is absolutely impossible."

"Sleep."

After he finished speaking, he quickly took off his clothes and shoes, slipping into the blankets on the other side.

Fang Jinshu almost couldn't help but laugh, staring incredulously at the man sleeping beside her.

Is it still impossible

A scoundrel, three days without beating him up he'd take off the roof tiles, went out to fight for a few years his guts got bigger, huh.

Fang Jinxiu was furious, flinging the blanket aside and getting out of bed. Zong Yu, though seemingly asleep with his eyes closed, acted as if he could see everything. He was even faster than her, immediately pushing her back down onto the bed, tucking her in tightly.

If you dare to run, I wouldn't mind sleeping in your bed.

At the thought of that scene, Zong Yu couldn't help but gasp for breath.

"By then, I can't guarantee that I will be able to control myself from doing something else."

Fang Jinxiu gritted her teeth and said, "You're threatening me"

Zong Yu raised an eyebrow. Though he didn't prefer to see her gnashing her teeth and cheeks flushed, this angry look was better than the cold, distant expression she wore before. Zong Yu would rather have her be angry than indifferent.

"Yes, I threatened you."

"So be good and don't run away."

He wrapped the entire quilt around Fang Jinxiu, burying his head in her neck.

"Let me have a good sleep."

Zongyu's reputation had truly reached its limit. He took over many things in the mountain villa as soon as he returned, and it was only now that he had a chance to rest in bed.

Hardly had the words left her mouth when Fang Jinshu heard the even rhythm of his breathing beside her.

Did you fall asleep so quickly

She turned her head to look, grumbling as she shifted uncomfortably. She wanted to wake Zongyu and tell him to let go of her and get out of the way so she could sleep.

At first glance from this angle, the most striking thing was the deep shadows under his eyes.

She knew how physically and mentally strong Zongyu was, so how could he be this exhausted

The next day, Fang Jinshui learned the answer from Zhao Yun.

Although she didn't ask.

But it was indeed a surprise to her.

She still thought that after Zong Yu lost his memory, he would forget about her feelings too, and his delayed return wasn't caring about her at all.

Without any attachments, one naturally wouldn't think of sending messages back.

But Zhao Yun told her that he had hurried back day and night for himself, sleeping only two hours a day.
