A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

After the farce at the Li family came to an end, Chi Tinglan suggested taking Lin Huizhi to the back mountain for a walk to relax.

Lin Yinyin agreed; at worst, she would just not go hunting far away.

After Lin Yinyin put away Li Jinye's tonics, the three sisters had two more tagalongs following them around.

They were still two tall, jeep-riding lapdogs, armed with guns.

Lin Yinyin gave in.

She thought that having her older sister Chi and her own sister with her would provide extra protection should they encounter wild boars again.

Therefore, the two-person team became a five-person team.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain behind the hill, the group found a wide open meadow.

Chi Tinglan took out a blanket from her bag and spread it on the grass. She then took out peach shortbread, oranges, and arranged a thermos and teacups neatly.

Lin Yinyin also took out sponge cake and dates, and laid them out, making it look like a proper picnic.

Commander Zheng and Li Jinye, two grown men, stood to one side, looking at each other.

"Do all women like these things?" Commander Zheng had never taken his wife out for a picnic before.

Li Jinye shook his head.

This is his first time too!

"You two, don't just stand there. Who wants to come with me to dig a trap?" Lin Yinyin asked.

"I'll go!" Li Jinye exclaimed first.

Looking at his pale face, Lin Yinyin pointed to a spot not far away, "Why don't you go pick some wildflowers?"

Li Jinye: "..."

How could a regimental commander who is decisive and ruthless on the battlefield be allowed to pick wildflowers?

"Yinyin, let me take Huizhi to pick some wildflowers," Chi Tinglan said, pointing to Lin Huizhi.

She sat down on the blanket, her fingertips unconsciously twirling blades of grass, her gaze fixed on the distance, lost in thought.

"good!"

Lin Yinyin reminded him, "Don't go too far. Stay right there and call me if you need anything."

Commander Zheng was quite sensible; since his wife had left, he would go and do the manual labor himself!

"I can dig the traps by myself, you all can rest!"

After saying that, he patted Li Jinye on the shoulder and shrugged.

Li Jinye: ...Could you be any more deliberate?

He turned his head, and his gaze was immediately drawn to a figure not far away.

Lin Yinyin had already taken out her knife and was intently whittling the tree branch.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on her face, making even the fine downy hairs clearly visible.

Despite her slender build, her hand holding the knife was remarkably steady.

With nimble fingers, the bow's basic shape was quickly carved out, and then grooves were carefully engraved.

She secured the rubber band firmly to both ends.

Li Jinye's gaze remained fixed on her.

She always did some outrageous things: marrying her stepmother, causing trouble in the black market, and jumping up to slap Li Jianjun in front of everyone.

Her boldness, her provocation, and her unconventionality all exude a vibrant life force.

Even though she was thin and small, she lived like a wild grass in the mountains, never drooping or timid, and never bowing her head to anyone.

She made his heart flutter for no apparent reason.

"Li Jinye, why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Yinyin looked up and met his deep eyes.

The surging emotions within her made her cheeks inexplicably flush, and she quickly handed him the arrow, saying, "Here, give it a try!"

"good!"

"What a load of rubbish!"

Lin Yinyin belatedly realized that his left arm injury had not yet healed.

"Fine, I'll give it a try!"

Lin Yinyin pulled her arm back, nocked the "arrow," and shot it at a tree stump in the distance.

With a "whoosh," it was firmly nailed to the tree trunk.

The range was much greater than the bow and arrows made with the simple materials last time.

"It's still a bit lacking. If it had iron arrowheads, the range would be 30% longer, and the penetration would be stronger." Lin Yinyin clicked her tongue, somewhat regretfully.

"Who taught you how to make this bow and arrow?"

"My dad! But I've surpassed him." Lin Yinyin said without any modesty.

"When I was hungry, I figured out how to hunt and make tools. I tried everything and ate everything to survive." These were Lin Yinyin's memories from her previous life, and she answered them offhand. But someone else heard them clearly.

"Lin Yinyin?" Li Jinye suddenly asked seriously.

"what?"

"In the future, if something happens, you won't have to bear it all by yourself."

You can tell me what you want to do or what you need.

If anyone provokes you again, you don't need to jump around and fight back; just tell me, and I'll handle it.

Lin Yinyin: ...What? Does this mean she's short?

"Li Jinye, are you talking about Li Jianjun's matter today?"

He's so tall that I have to jump to hit his face; that's what you call agility!

Besides, whether I jump or leap is none of your business!

Li Jinye's eyes suddenly darkened, and he walked towards her step by step.

"What are you doing?!" Lin Yinyin was taken aback by this sudden action.

However, before he could finish speaking, Li Jinye lowered his head.

Warm lips covered hers without warning.

"Hmm!"

Lin Yinyin's mind went blank for a moment, and her right hand instinctively wanted to push him away, but then she suddenly remembered that his left arm was still injured.

In the instant she hesitated, Li Jinye's confidence ignited.

He sensed her hesitation, and his right arm around her lower back tightened abruptly, pulling her close to his chest so that her chest was pressed tightly against his.

"Ugh... You...!"

Lin Yinyin groaned as she was being strangled, and just as she opened her mouth to curse, Li Jinye seized the opportunity and forcefully took over her territory.

Lin Yinyin's heart was pounding like a drum.

Pushing him might hurt his injury; struggling, however, wouldn't break free of his hold.

She froze for a few seconds, then decided to give up and relax her body, letting him kiss her.

Let them kiss! It's not like it's their first time anyway!

Her compromise seemed to give Li Jinye even more confidence to indulge her.

He kissed her more unrestrainedly, his breathing becoming rapid and heavy.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of light footsteps and Chi Tinglan's gentle voice came from not far away.

My sisters are back.

Lin Yinyin snapped back to her senses, disregarding his injury, and shoved Li Jinye hard in the chest.

Li Jinye was deeply engrossed in the kiss when he was suddenly pushed forward.

His tall body leaned back and he landed hard on his butt.

"I'll go test the bow and arrow to see if it works!"

Lin Yinyin blushed, threw down a remark, grabbed the bow and arrows from the ground, and ran away.

Li Jinye blushed and said to the stunned Chi Tinglan and Lin Huizhi, "I'll go see if she can hit the target." He then chased after Lin Yinyin's retreating figure.

Chi Tinglan only saw Lin Yinyin raise her hand and push Li Jinye, but this famously cold-faced devil not only showed no anger, but also secretly had a smile on his lips.

She couldn't help but smile, turned her head and patted Lin Huizhi's arm, speaking gently:

"Huizhi, look, Yinyin is being pampered by someone!"

Who is Li Jinye? So many people don't dare to breathe loudly in his presence, but only Yinyin dares to push him like that, and he doesn't get angry at all. That's what you call being truly considerate.

Also, when Li Jianjun was beaten before, Li Jinye was angry because Yinyin was angry. This is called Aiwujiwu. "

She paused, then looked at Lin Huizhi and softened her tone: "Look at Li Jianjun, he says he loves you, but he's always been protecting his mother."

Huizhi, life is for yourself, stop making yourself suffer!

Lin Huizhi watched Li Jinye's blushing figure chase after him, and then she remembered Lin Yinyin's panic when she ran away earlier, which made her even more worried.
