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

Having realized her own feelings, Lin Ling stopped worrying unnecessarily.

If that handsome guy can bravely pursue love, then Lin Ling can't be any less capable!

He simply lacked experience and had no idea how to bravely pursue love.

He secretly borrowed the Chronicles of All Nations from his brother Pearl, intending to learn more about the Kingdom of Tengshe.

As a barbarian from the northern border, Lin Ling always thought that the Wu Ren would never read or study, and might not even be literate, so she openly picked up the Chronicles of All Nations and read it.

There aren't many records about the Kingdom of Tengshe in the Chronicles of All Nations. After all, it was a small place, and it's good enough that there are any written records at all. We shouldn't be too demanding.

Lin Ling read it very carefully, word by word.

He's a young man who grew up surrounded by love. Although he's shy and reserved, he'll do his best to get what he wants.

Wu Ren had been watching for several days now; the young man had only read those few pages, turning them over and over again no less than ten times.

Finally, one afternoon, after Chunxi went out to buy fabric, Wuren asked, "Why are you looking at these few pages?"

Lin Ling blinked. "I find it interesting."

Wu Ren said, "What's written here is incorrect."

Lin Ling was slightly surprised. "What's wrong?"

"Here," Wu Ren pointed to a line of text, "not everyone in our land is buried with gems after death, and the color of the gems does not necessarily reflect a person's status in life."

"Oh..." Lin Ling belatedly realized, quite surprised, "So you can read?"

Wu Ren said, "What kind of talk is that? Of course I can read."

Lin Ling blushed slightly. In his mind, the barbarians of the North were all strong men dressed in fur coats, drawing bows and shooting eagles, and speaking in a language he couldn't understand.

I never expected that the northern barbarians would still recognize the characters of the Central Plains. Times have indeed changed!

Foreign tribes have begun to learn the culture of the Central Plains.

Wu Ren poked Lin Ling's cheek. "Little idiot, are you blushing?"

Lin Ling instinctively retorted, "No, I'm hot!"

It's only early spring, and many people haven't even taken off their padded jackets yet.

Wu Ren, unusually, did not expose him. He had just approached and was now standing behind Lin Ling, with one arm around him and his fingertips pointing at the book in front of the young man.

This posture makes it seem as if the baby is being held in someone's arms.

"Are you very interested in the Kingdom of Tengshe?" Wu Ren asked.

Lin Ling's heart pounded. "Hmm... I'm a little bit interested."

Wu Ren closed the Chronicles of All Nations in the young man's hand. "If you want to know anything, you can ask me."

Lin Ling looked up at him, "Wu Ren."

"What?" Wu Ren lowered his head and met his eyes, his pink lips so close to hers.

So soft.

It will definitely be very nice to kiss.

Wu Ren was momentarily stunned.

Does this silly boy even know how likable he is?

Lin Ling asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Wu Ren reached out and covered the little fool's face.

I can't look at it too much, because if I do, I'll want to kiss it.

"What are your plans?" Wu Ren asked.

Lin Ling said, "So what are you planning to do after this? You can't... stay my bodyguard forever..."

"Why not?" Uren said. "That's exactly what I think."

Lin Ling grabbed the man's wrist and moved his hand away from her face. "Aren't you going back to the Northern Border?"

Wu Ren said, "I won't go back."

He had settled all grievances and was now free to leave or stay as he pleased.

Lin Ling was delighted and asked a question in a low voice.

His voice was muffled, and Wu Ren didn't hear him clearly. "What?"

Lin Ling mustered her courage and asked again, "Do you intend to be my bodyguard for the rest of your life?"

He felt incredibly happy. If a man says something like that, does it mean he also has feelings for him?

To say something like "for a lifetime" is tantamount to making a promise.

Wu Ren said, "That's not it."

The young man, who had been cheerful, suddenly opened his eyes wide and tears welled up in them.

So... so he was just imagining things...

Waaah.

He knew that falling for the white-haired guy was no good at all.

You might even be rejected...

Uren continued, "Actually, I... wanted to be your husband."

But before he could finish speaking, the young master of Uncle Xiao's family next door ran in carrying something.

"Lingling-ge, guess what I brought you?" the young man said proudly. "It's candy! I went out of my way to queue up this morning to buy it."

Lin Ling immediately held back her tears and forced a smile, "Wow, how did you know I wanted to eat brittle candy? Thank you!"

The young man said shyly, "I'm glad you like it, Brother Lingling."

Wu Ren stared at him with an unfriendly expression.

This little rascal, he's not even fully grown yet, and he's already eyeing his little idiot.

The young man was still a little afraid of this white-haired man, because this white-haired man had no martial ethics, bullied the weak, and wouldn't admit to hitting him.

It's bad.

The story begins several months ago.

At that time, Wu Ren was atoning for his sins by Lin Ling's side. After spending a long time together, Lin Ling reluctantly concluded that he was a good person.

Therefore, whenever he buys something, he always makes sure to buy one for Wu Ren as well.

For example, the noodles made by Uncle Xiao next door.

In the past, the young master would come and collect the bowls, but after he went to school, Lin Ling would go and return the bowls herself.

Wu Ren volunteered, feeling that he could also do something for Lin Ling instead of just being a doorman in his shop.

So the young man, who had just returned home from school, saw that this white-haired guy had stolen his chance to come and see Lingling.

So the young man held a grudge, and on the day he was to deliver the meal during the holiday, he deliberately added several spoonfuls of chili sauce to Wu Ren's bowl.

As he scooped out the chili sauce, he muttered: "You white-haired bastard, I'll make you die from the spiciness."

The young man was too rough, and a thick layer of chili sauce floated on top of the soup.

However, Wu Ren was not overwhelmed by the spiciness, because it was Lin Ling who received the extremely spicy bowl.

Wu Ren thought this brat was trying to harm Lin Ling, so when no one was paying attention, he went up, grabbed him, and spanked him several times.

The two, one big and one small, thus became enemies.

Although the young master was afraid of him, it didn't stop him from causing trouble.

Just like today.

He stared at Wu Ren with murderous intent and darted behind the counter. Taking advantage of his status as a villain, he threw himself into Lin Ling's arms. "Lingling-ge, they say a theatrical troupe from the Western Regions is coming to perform a big show tonight. Let's go see it together!"

Wu Ren gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound.

The young man secretly made a face at Wu Ren, then hugged Lin Ling tightly, pleading, "Lingling-ge, please come with me, please, please, please..."

"Okay, okay." Lin Ling tapped his head gently, her tone tender. "But you have to finish your homework first, or I won't take you."

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately said, "Then I'll go back and write it now. Lingling-ge, remember to pick me up this evening."

"Okay." Lin Ling ruffled his hair. "Go on."

"Remember to eat the candy, it's so delicious!" The young man ran home, his voice trailing behind, "Remember to pick me up! Don't forget!"
