The sky gradually darkened, and the leaves of the trees covered it completely. Without any light at all, the mountain road was even more?precipitous1?and difficult to navigate.

Incessant rustling sounds kept coming from the grass. Perhaps it was because of the snake gall, but the animals hiding in the grass went far away to avoid the both of them. During their entire walk, they did not even see a single snake.

Zhan Yihan carried Su Jinyue on his back and followed the marks he had made previously, and walked down the mountain. At this time, his face and body were already drenched in sweat.

“Big Brother Yihan, I should come down and walk on my own.” Su Jinyue stretched out her hand and used her sleeve to help Zhan Yihan wipe the sweat off his face, her eyes were filled with apology. How could he not be tired after trekking down the mountain with her on his back for so long, despite being so badly injured?

“It’s okay, we’ll reach the base of the mountain soon.” Zhan Yihan turned his head to her and flashed her a wide smile that showed his pearly whites, making his chiseled and perfectly sculptured face appear even more handsome and extraordinary.

“But your wounds are drenched in sweat. It’ll get inflamed easily like that,” Su Jinyue said worriedly. She really wanted to examine his wound right now.

Zhan Yihan smiled and shook his head, before turning his head back to look ahead. “Don’t worry, my wound is fine. Besides, you are so light that I can’t even feel your weight when carrying you on my back. You have to eat more in the future.”

When executing missions, it was common for wounds to be drenched in sweat. At times, for the sake of the mission, they might even hide in mud puddles and stinky gutters while wounded, for a few days and nights. Wound inflammation and rotting were commonplace.

Su Jinyue rolled her eyes speechlessly. “I’m just right like this. I don’t want to get any fatter. Big Brother Yihan, do you like fat girls?” Fat girls were popular in this era, especially among the elderly. They felt that a fat girl was blessed and that they could bear children and do heavy chores.

“I only like the girl I like. It doesn’t matter if she’s fat or thin,” Zhan Yihan responded. Regardless of whether she was fat or thin, he liked Jinyue.

Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows in surprise. She did not expect Zhan Yihan to say something like that. “Is there a girl that you like?”

“There is.” Zhan Yihan nodded with a smile.?There was no one before, but now there is.

Su Jinyue was slightly stunned and jealousy surged in her heart. She asked in a hoarse voice, “Who is she?” Although he kissed her and said that he would take responsibility for her, he also said before that he treated her like a younger sister, so the person he liked was definitely not her. It was probably a certain girl in his army unit.

Zhan Yihan halted in his tracks. He turned his head and smiled wickedly at Su Jinyue. “Seemingly far away, but actually close at hand.” Since he already knew his feelings, naturally, he would not hide them anymore. It was just that he did not know what her feelings towards him were.

Su Jinyue froze and stared at Zhan Yihan blankly. After a long time, she finally snapped out of her daze. She raised her hand and pointed at herself in disbelief. “Are you talking about me?”?It’s impossible! He said before that he only regarded me as his younger sister. It can’t be me!

Seeing how adorable Su Jinyue looked, Zhan Yihan couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s you, silly girl.”?How can she be so cute? She’s so cute that I want to ferociously hug her and kiss her.

“But didn’t you say that you only think of me as your younger sister?” Su Jinyue still did not quite believe it.

“That’s because I didn’t understand it before, but now I realised the feelings I have for you. What about you? Do you like me?” Zhan Yihan asked straightforwardly. However, there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes as he looked at Su Jinyue.?What should I do if she says that she doesn’t like me?

Su Jinyue’s eyes turned bright. After thinking about it for a while, a sly smile formed on her lips and she replied to him, “Of course I like you.” She had set her heart on him for the rest of her life.

Zhan Yihan laughed joyously. “In that case, I’ll let my mother go to Dr. Xu to propose a marriage tomorrow.” He was a person who liked to resolve things quickly. Now that he knew his heart and knew that his beloved woman had feelings for him, naturally, he could not wait.

Su Jinyue’s jaw dropped open in surprise and she stared at Zhan Yihan in disbelief.?This is going so fast! I’m not mentally prepared at all.

“Silly girl, bugs are going to fly into your mouth.” Zhan Yihan looked at Su Jinyue with a smile, his deep eyes filled with affection. With her by his side in this lifetime, he would be very happy.

Su Jinyue closed her mouth and rolled her eyes at Zhan Yihan in feigned anger. “Are you serious?”

“Of course I’m serious. My wife is so outstanding. If I don’t reserve you early on, you might get snatched away and I won’t even be able to cry in regret,” Zhan Yihan said jokingly.

“I’m not your wife.” Su Jinyue looked at Zhan Yihan bashfully, her heart filled with happiness.

“I held your hand, carried you, and kissed you. If you don’t marry me, who else can you marry?” Zhan Yihan raised his eyebrows and asked wickedly.

“Scoundrel!” Su Jinyue lightly pounded on Zhan Yihan’s shoulder.

Zhan Yihan’s lips curled up in a wicked smile and his deep eyes looked at Su Jinyue earnestly as he announced tyrannically, “I’ve set my heart on you becoming my wife in this lifetime.” Once he had his mind set on something, he would not change it.

Su Jinyue smiled sweetly. She wrapped her arms around Zhan Yihan’s neck, and leaned her head on his shoulder. “You’re the only one for me in this life!”

The smile on Zhan Yihan’s face gradually deepened. He turned his head around and walked forward. “Wifey, let’s go home.”

“Okay!” Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. With him by her side, she would not have any regrets in her life.

Glancing at the clock on the wall, Song Yiren grew increasingly fidgety.?It’s almost eight o’clock, why isn’t Su Jinyue back yet? Today, she was with Big Brother Zhan the entire day. Will something happen between the two of them?

Just as she was thinking this, she heard the sound of the door outside opening.

When Su Jinyue pushed open the courtyard door, she saw Xu Tiansheng sitting in the courtyard and drinking tea. Guiltily, she shuffled forward and said apologetically, “Teacher! I’m back late again. Sorry for making you worried.” She had not expected that mountain to be so dangerous. Had it not been for Yihan, she would not have been able to come back.

Xu Tiansheng looked Su Jinyue up and down. His brows knitted together and he asked, “You’re injured?”

“Just a minor injury. I’m fine already.” After taking the healing medicine that Yihan gave her, her internal injury had more or less healed. Right now, she was only experiencing some slight pain.

Xu Tiansheng shook his head and sighed helplessly, “Come back earlier in the future. Go and have your dinner.” Although he was worried this time, he was not as worried as he had been the day before. He believed in Zhan Yihan. With him around, Jinyue would be safe.

“Okay!” Su Jinyue nodded and headed into the house.

Back in her room, Su Jinyue closed the door and took out the snake gall from the bamboo basket and hid it. She absolutely must not let Teacher know about the snake gall.. If Teacher knew that she had ventured to such a dangerous place, he would ground her for sure.𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶
