Shenhe pulled Jiang Yanfei through the air, searching around the ancient city. While looking for a spacious place, there was a spot that had caught Shenhe's eye.

However, because the surrounding area was full of trees, making it unsuitable for clearing out zombies, Shenhe left.

To those who could fly, the ancient city wasn't large. Soon, the familiar surroundings were rediscovered by Shenhe.

"Over there!"

Shenhe pointed and suddenly accelerated.

Jiang Yan looked in the direction he pointed.

This guesthouse is different from other guesthouses built in high-traffic areas. It's located in a somewhat remote area, but it's not the kind that's hidden deep in the mountains. It's more like a place that's close to the city yet feels solitude.

It sits on a gentle slope, surrounded by low hills on three sides, with trees scattered around in a well-organized manner, clearly a carefully planned design, exuding elegance in its tranquility.

The two landed at the entrance of the guesthouse, glanced around, and looked at each other, both seeing satisfaction in each other's eyes.

There is a small river in front of the door. The water is clear and cold, and the bottom is covered with pebbles of all sizes. The emerald green water plants sway gently with the current, and small fish and shrimp occasionally dart among them, which is very lively.

A rustic stone bridge spans the river, and the guesthouse entrance is not far beyond the bridge.

As the two stepped onto the stone bridge, the babbling sound of water filled their ears, and the cool mist from the river rushed towards them, making them feel refreshed.

The guesthouse is surrounded by a two-meter-high round wooden wall, with several kinds of climbing flowers planted at the base of the wall. The vines have long since covered the wooden fence, and the colorful flowers are in full bloom. When the wind blows, the petals flutter down, creating an incredibly romantic scene.

As he approached the gate, Shenhe glanced up at the plaque and his lips twitched.

"Happy Garden Inn"

"Damn, why does this name appear everywhere?"

"It really is tacky." Jiang Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

Shaking his head, Shenhe reached out and pushed open the courtyard gate. At first glance, both of them froze, their eyes filled with amazement.

"So beautiful..." Jiang Yan exclaimed softly, her beautiful eyes darting around, falling in love with the place at first sight.

The yard must have been meticulously maintained in the past. A small garden was carved out in the corner, where all kinds of flowers bloomed freely. Although it looked a bit messy because no one had trimmed it for a long time, it had a unique wild charm.

A wooden swing has been installed in the garden, where you can sit and swing while gazing at the panoramic view of the ancient city in the distance.

There's a log pavilion and a winding corridor in the courtyard, so you won't get wet when you walk around in the rain.

The guesthouses are all made of wood, except that the windows are carved wood with glass.

The main building has two floors and is very beautiful. There are side rooms on both sides, all in the same style. There are corridors with handrails on the second floor. The three buildings are connected together.

The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and an old well stands in the southeast corner. The well platform is made of blue bricks and is in the style of the ancient method of drawing water with a bucket.

Shenhe and Jiang Yan exchanged a glance, seemingly thinking the same thing. They cautiously peered into the well, and thankfully, the water was cool and clear, and there were no corpses inside. If there were, such a good well would be wasted.

"whee!"

"Ha ha!"

The two stood up straight, looked at each other, and both smiled.

In the southeast corner, there is a side corridor leading to the backyard. Inside the backyard is a vegetable garden where green beans, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, and potatoes are grown.

Some are growing vigorously, while others wither and die when their time comes.

Shenhe reached out and picked one, weighed it in his hand, and said, "The cucumber has turned into an old cucumber, as thick as my fist. It's unusable, cough, inedible."

Jiang Yan bit her lip and stared at Shenhe incredulously.

Shenhe then went to look at other dishes.

The eggplants are as big as footballs, they're old, and the peppers are all ripe red. They can be picked and dried for later use.

Needless to say, the kidney beans were thicker than his fingers and looked wilted.

The two went inside the house to check again, and luckily, apart from some bloodstains, there was no disgusting corpse or anything like that.

After visiting the guesthouse, I found it to be very good overall.

Living here allows you to grow vegetables and enjoy flowers, as well as sit in the pavilion to relax and enjoy the breeze. The environment is quiet and peaceful, making it perfect for a quiet and peaceful retirement, just like in a paradise. Shenhe likes it very much, and it is also suitable for Shen's mother to retire in.

The two sat down in the pavilion, which had a square stone table and a stone stool on each side.

Shenhe looked around, then turned to Jiang Yan and asked, "What do you think of this place?"

Jiang Yan's lips curled up, her expression pleased, clearly satisfied with the place. She crossed her legs, her two plump and slender thighs stacked together, her trousers riding up a little, revealing a section of her fair and delicate ankles.

"It's great. The environment is beautiful and quiet, and it's not too far from the city, so it's convenient to go out. I especially like the little bridge outside and the swings in the garden."

Shenhe followed her gaze to the swing, stood up, took her hand, and led her there. "Go play if you like. This will be our home from now on."

Jiang Yan was pulled along by him, a hint of hesitation flashing across her face. "But... what if Captain Xu doesn't agree? This place is about to be built into a base, and the environment is so good. It might be taken over for public use."

Shenhe didn't stop walking, letting out a light snort, his tone full of indifference, "He doesn't agree? Do I need his approval to do things? If he dares to say a single word of dissent, I'll dismantle his fleet first."

Jiang Yan stared blankly at his back, her heart skipping a beat for no reason. She was captivated by the man's domineering aura.

When she was little, she had a dream: to have someone protect her, no matter if it was a man or a woman, anyone would do. Unfortunately, she never met such a person.

But now, she feels that this man can protect her.

then.

"Why?"

Under Jiang Yan's dazed gaze, Shenhe casually sat on the swing, raised an eyebrow at her, and patted his thigh.

Jiang Yan blushed slightly at his roguish appearance.

"you!"

She had initially thought he had brought her over to play on the swing, but it turned out the man just wanted to tease her on the swing.

Jiang Yan turned to run away. It was broad daylight, and they were still in the yard. What kind of behavior was this? What kind of manners were these?

However, she couldn't escape at all. Shenhe reached out and pulled her back, and she fell into his arms.

"ah-!"

Before she could even get up and run away, Shenhe pushed off the ground, and the swing immediately began to swing back and forth steadily, carrying the two of them.

The swing swung higher and higher, and Jiang Yan couldn't help but scream in fright, "Ah! Shenhe! Be gentle! I'm afraid of heights!"

"Haha! Swinging is fun the higher you go!"

Shenhe ignored everything, laughed loudly, and kicked even harder, swinging the swing higher and higher.

"Ah... Shenhe! Please let me go! It's going to be the highest! I can't take it anymore! Stop! Please!"

The wind whistled past Jiang Yan's ears, and her body rose and fell with the swing. The intense feeling of weightlessness left her mind blank.

She clung tightly to Shenhe's neck, burying her face in his chest. Her eyes, filled with extreme excitement and fear, gradually welled up with tears.

But she was undoubtedly happy at this moment. From childhood to adulthood, she had never received any favoritism. Her parents always sided with her younger brother. Even when she was bullied or got into fights, her parents would always scold her for causing trouble without asking any questions.

Now, she finally has someone who can silently support her and stand by her side.
