That evening, the two found a small restaurant and ordered fried noodles and clay pot soup.

Cheng Min ate very slowly, her chopsticks moving around in the bowl, but she didn't really eat much.

Chang Kun glanced at her: "What are you thinking about?"

"Do you think I can really find my mother and younger brother if I go to Guangzhou tomorrow?" The further south she went these past few days, the more anxious she became.

Before, Cheng Min didn't know if she could find her mother, but now that her man has given her confidence, she has become anxious and uncertain.

"Of course we can! Guangzhou is almost the southernmost point, and beyond that we'll reach Taiwan. Mother and my little brother can't possibly run all the way there..." At this point, Chang Kun quickly spat twice.

"A jinx; his bad omens always come true!"

He quickly muttered a few words.

If his mother-in-law and brother-in-law were in Taiwan right now, he wouldn't have the ability to bring them back.

Currently, tensions are high on both sides.

Cheng Min didn't hear what Chang Kun said, lost in thought. After a while, she looked up and hesitated, "Chang Kun, what if... what if my mother and younger brother are doing well in the south?"

Chang Kun was taken aback: "They're living quite well, isn't that good?"

Cheng Min lowered her head, her voice even softer: "I mean... what if they've settled down over there... I had a dream like that last night."

Chang Kun put down his chopsticks and covered Cheng Min's cold little hands.

"What if that's really the case? What if they... don't want to go back to the capital?" Cheng Min poked around in her bowl with her chopsticks.

"Of course I want them to come back with me and reunite as a family, but what if... they've started a new family in the south and are doing well? What will happen to my father? He's waited all these years..."

She spoke incoherently, and as she spoke, her eyes reddened.

"Don't overthink it! Dreams always bring good things to life, not bad ones. You just think too much during the day, that's why you dream at night."

Cheng Min sniffed but didn't say anything.

"We haven't even found it yet, and you've already set a bunch of obstacles for yourself." Chang Kun squeezed her hand. "We'll talk about it after we find it. We'll deal with whatever problems arise as they come."

Cheng Min looked up at him, her eyes red, and nodded gently.

"Okay, hurry up and eat, then go back to sleep!"

Cheng Min glanced at her watch: "It's only a little past seven, and you're already asleep?"

Seeing Chang Kun's sly smile, a blush rose to her cheeks: "What are you up to now?"

"What can I do? Sleeping is just sleeping," Chang Kun said, feigning innocence.

After finishing their meal, they returned to the guesthouse. Cheng Min washed up, lay down on the bed, and hummed comfortably.

These past few days of traveling and shopping have left her legs sore and sore.

Chang Kun sat beside her and massaged her calves.

"Your cooking is quite good..." Cheng Min said, enjoying the meal with her eyes closed.

But as she continued to massage, she felt something was off about the large hand; it kept moving upwards.

"What are you doing?" She opened her eyes and looked at Chang Kun warily.

"Nothing, I'll just rub it for you."

"Just massaging my calves is fine, why are you touching my thighs...?"

"Aren't they all legs? What's the difference? Your thighs must be sore too, let me help you!"

"Pah! What a joke, I don't care!" Cheng Min, having been trained, could now understand the hidden meaning in Chang Kun's words.

Chang Kun shamelessly moved closer to her, which startled her so much that she quickly shrank back.

"No, it really won't work!"

"What's there to be shy about? We're an old married couple..."

"What do you mean 'old married couple'? We haven't even been married for a month!" Cheng Min was so angry she gritted her teeth, grabbing his mischievous hand. "Besides, this is a guesthouse!"

"What's wrong with the guesthouse? They won't let us come to the sleeper car, and now they won't let us come here either?" Chang Kun shamelessly leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "It's been three or four days already."

Cheng Min's ears burned, and she turned her face away, ignoring him.

Chang Kun wasn't in a hurry. He just lay down next to her, his hand on her waist, gently massaging it.

After a while, she slowly softened.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the bed and the two people inside.

Cheng Min muttered softly, "Be gentle, don't break the bed..."

"Hehe, yes sir."

If you obey her beforehand, how can you let her have her way during the event?

Two hours later, Cheng Min was limp and powerless, not even having the strength to groan.

"You're so tired, surely you won't have any nightmares tonight? I'm working so hard, but it's all for your own good..." Chang Kun continued to make sarcastic remarks in her ear.

The next morning, Cheng Min woke up feeling very energetic.

The two of them had been up for so long last night that she was so tired that she didn't even have a dream. Just thinking about it made her face burn.

They agreed to take it easy, but halfway through, Chang Kun wouldn't listen to them at all.

Besides, she was emotional at the time, and even if Chang Kun was willing to stop, she wouldn't.

Looking at the time, it was only a little past seven. He reached out and lifted Chang Kun's eyelids.

"Get up, it's past nine o'clock!"

"What? It's past nine o'clock?!" Chang Kun scrambled to his feet, blaming himself for having played too wildly last night and sleeping so late.

I also plan to visit Tengwang Pavilion today, and then leave Nanchang directly this afternoon. Getting up so late will make things too rushed.

After he was dressed, he saw Cheng Min still stretching in bed.

Shouldn't she be the one who's worried?

Chang Kun then realized what was happening and glanced at his watch.

"Fine! You dare to mock me, the Great King? I won't let you get away with this today!"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, have mercy! I won't dare to do it again..."

After arguing for a while, the two tidied up and headed straight for Tengwang Pavilion.

This time, Cheng Min climbed with much more energy, scrambling up layer by layer, with Chang Kun following behind. He could see that her thighs were even stronger than a rabbit's.

"Aren't you tired?"

"Not tired! You're the one who's tired!" Cheng Min turned around and smiled.

Chang Kun snorted angrily. His wife only dared to laugh at him in public; once in bed, she would immediately turn into a docile little lamb.

Reaching the top floor, she leaned on the railing and gazed into the distance. The Gan River shimmered in the sunlight, and small boats swayed gently in its waters.

"So beautiful!"

"Wasn't the trip worthwhile?"

Cheng Min nodded, then suddenly spoke: "The sunset glows and the lone wild goose flies together; the autumn waters blend with the vast sky."

"Wow, Professor Cheng is quite skilled!"

"Pah! Everyone who comes to Tengwang Pavilion knows these two lines!"

The two stood side by side, enjoying the quiet moment and feeling a sense of peace within themselves.

Nanchang Railway Station.

This time, Chang Kun bought two sleeper tickets without much effort, probably because the regulations at Nanchang Station were not as strict as those at Nanjing Station.

After finding a sleeper berth and putting away her luggage, Cheng Min let out a long sigh.

Chang Kun laughed and said, "What's wrong? Tired of traveling by car?"

"No, it's just that... we've been traveling for so long, how could Mother and my little brother have gone so far?"

That's right. A woman with a five or six-year-old child walked this far, and they're still alive and well. I wonder how much hardship they endured.

As the train approached Guangzhou, Cheng Min became increasingly restless, her face showing a mixture of tension and anticipation.

"Chang Kun, I have a feeling that Mother and my younger brother are right here! My heart is pounding!"
