After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Lan Shu blushed and ran out.

She was still holding a pearl.

Pearl felt that the footsteps coming downstairs were unusually chaotic, but he couldn't see them.

Because Lan Shu was in a panic at the moment, she couldn't remember that Xiao Yuanyuan's face was mostly covered by the tiger-head hat.

Lin Yuntang followed behind him, a faint smile on his face.

Yin Cheng and Lin Nian returned from outside hand in hand, only to see Lan Shu running downstairs.

Lan Shu had already passed Yin Cheng and his wife, but then she turned back, stuffed the pearl into Lin Nian's hand, and hurriedly ran away.

In contrast, Lin Yuntang was much calmer. He greeted the two of them and left with Lan Shu.

Lin Nian straightened Pearl's tiger-head hat. "They must have made up, right?"

Yin Cheng pinched Pearl's cheek. "I guess so."

Lin Nian smiled and said, "That's good."

Upon seeing a familiar face, Pearl immediately smiled and exclaimed, "Little Daddy!"

"Hey!" Lin Nian kissed Xiao Yuanyuan's face, took out the snacks she had just bought outside and gave them to Pearl. The family chatted and laughed as they went back to their room.

On the other side, Lan Shu ran into a deserted alley. Seeing that no one was around, she clutched her chest and breathed heavily.

He always loved wearing red, and now his cheeks were flushed and his eyes were red, making him look very easy to bully.

Lin Yuntang followed behind him at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

To be honest, Lan Shu's reaction was beyond his expectations.

Given Lan Shu's carefree nature, even if she were kissed, she would at most comment on the kissing technique; she wouldn't be so panicked as to react this way.

Who would have thought that he was all talk and no action, but actually incredibly innocent? He was kissed by a man, and his face is still steaming.

"Lan Shu." Lin Yuntang hadn't even gotten close when Hong Chou slapped him in the face.

I don't know if it's because the owner didn't use much force, but it didn't hurt at all when it landed on his face. It felt light and airy, and instead, it felt like some kind of indescribable mood.

Lin Yuntang grabbed the red silk and gathered it up inch by inch, moving closer and closer to the beauty in red.

Lan Shu tried to take back the red silk, but couldn't budge it. Instead, the man pulled it from the other side.

He lost his balance and fell into the man's arms.

Noticing that the man had his arm around her waist, Lan Shu pretended to struggle for a moment, then nestled in his arms and remained still.

Lin Yuntang said, "Lanshu, let's get married."

Lan Shu retorted angrily, "Dream on."

Lin Yuntang interpreted Lan Shu's reaction as shyness, and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Who wants to marry you?" Lan Shu said sullenly. "I don't want to."

Lin Yuntang fell silent, his deep eyes revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Lan Shu waited for a while, wondering if this blockhead would just back down like this? Shouldn't he be shamelessly pestering him and asking to marry him?!

Lin Yuntang hugged the person in his arms tightly, "Lan Shu."

"What are you doing!" Lan Shu glared at him fiercely.

Lin Yuntang said, "You were the one who took the initiative to throw yourself into my arms first."

Lan Shu, who had been feigning anger, instantly became genuinely furious upon hearing these words. She struggled to pull away from the man's embrace but couldn't move him no matter what she did. She couldn't help but say irritably, "What do you mean by this?"

"I took it seriously," Lin Yuntang said. "Lan Shu, I took it seriously."

Lan Shu's anger dissipated immediately. At first, he just thought the man had a deadpan face and blushed easily when teased, which was quite amusing.

He himself couldn't say when he fell in love.

He was the one who first deceived the man with false lies; he fooled a sincere heart.

He was just a rather unskilled hunter; not only did his prey fall, but he himself had already succumbed to his trap.

"Idiot..." Lan Shu tugged at the man's hair, "Untie my red ribbon."

Lin Yuntang obediently released his grip.

Lan Shu tucked the red silk back into her sleeve. "I'm going back."

Lin Yuntang didn't stop him, but silently followed behind him.

The two were walking one after the other when Lan Shu suddenly stopped.

While Lin Yuntang was still in shock, Lan Shu suddenly turned around and ran towards the man, his clothes fluttering in the wind like clouds in the sky.

Lan Shu hugged the man, "Idiot."

Lin Yuntang quickly hugged him back.

Lan Shu buried her face in the man's shoulder, "You can't bully me anymore."

Lin Yuntang said, "Okay."

"No matter how long we've been married, you must treat me as well as you do now."

"it is good."

"...I want to be the rightful husband!"

"it is good."

"You are not allowed to take a concubine."

"Okay, I can do all of that," Lin Yuntang asked. "Anything else?"

Lan Shu said, "I haven't thought of anything else yet; I'll add more later."

"The Book of Orchids".

"what!"

I want to kiss you.

"...No...uh."

A gust of wind blew, and their hair became tangled together.

When the man released Lan Shu, he was still a little out of breath. He was very embarrassed and said, "You, you're so good at this. Did you learn it at a brothel?"

Lin Yuntang said, "I've never been to a brothel, but I can tell just by looking at you."

"Tch, who would believe that?" Lan Shu said. "I can't walk anymore, carry me."

Lin Yuntang picked up the Lan Shu, "...Do you want to talk about having seen the erotic illustrations?"

Lan Shu chuckled silently as she lay on the man's back, "You're not allowed to look anymore."

Lin Yuntang hesitated, "I'm afraid I might lose my temper and hurt you."

"Then you can just watch it secretly from now on, but you're not allowed to tell anyone." Lan Shu paused, then immediately changed her mind, "No, you have to watch it with me."

"it is good."

Lan Shu chuckled to himself for a while, then remembered the problems between the two of them.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "When I said I'd have you come with me to the Northern Border, I was actually joking. Anyway, things are relatively stable now... The Prince of Cheng has given me a lot of power, so I can come to the southwest to find you when the time comes."

Lin Yuntang shook his head and refused, "I want to be with you every moment."

"Don't you get tired of it?" Lan Shu said. "The north and the southwest are two completely different ways of marching. You're useless in the north. Even as a lowly soldier, I think you don't know how to handle sandstorms."

"But it's different in the Southwest. You know the power dynamics between the various tribes and villages here, and you're familiar with the terrain and climate. Staying in the Southwest is where you can truly realize your value."

"I've thought about this a lot these past few days. Yanru won't attack anytime soon, and the other small tribes aren't much of a threat. At least for the next two to three years, I can stay in the southwest with you."

"When Yanru is engaged in war and Prince Cheng is overwhelmed with other matters, I will go back to help him."

"You have leave too, right? Save it up, and then we'll go back to the capital and buy a house so you can go back to see your uncle anytime. We'll have our own little home."

Lan Shu kept talking and didn't notice when the man stopped walking.

"Why did you stop?" Lan Shu tilted her head to look at him, only to see that the man was already in tears.

Lin Yuntang never imagined that Lan Shu had already planned for their future.

He gave up everything for a single book, but wasn't the book itself the same?
