After dinner, Lin Mian wanted to go for a walk, but this place was deep in the mountains and forests. Only the area around the pool was cleaned and maintained. Further out, there was only dark forest.

She opened the door and glanced inside. Even the pond in front of her was pitch black, giving off a ghost movie vibe.

Lin Mian closed the door again. There was a TV in the small white room, but no internet. There was only a DVD player that Lin Mian hadn't seen in many years. She flipped through it; they were all classic old movies.

Before she could even pick out what she wanted to see, He Duoye picked her up with one arm: "Come bathe with me."

It certainly wouldn't just be a bath. Lin Mian put her arm around He Duoye's shoulder and didn't refuse, since there was nothing else to do that night anyway.

The bathroom wasn't very big, and the bathtub was a bit small. The water inside was sloshing around, overflowing onto the tiles in waves.

On the second day of her vacation, Lin Mian didn't leave the house until almost noon.

The weather is lovely today. Bright sunlight slants through the trees and falls on the rippling pool, making the water sparkle and shimmer, both bright and tranquil.

He Duoye set up a camping tent behind the off-road vehicle and sat with Lin Mian under the open tent, leisurely enjoying the breeze.

Lin Mian slumped in the chair, feeling drowsy. In her hazy state, she sensed He Duoye approaching.

He bent down, picked up Lin Mian, and held her in his arms. The two of them squeezed into a chair.

Lin Mian sat on his lap, leaning against his chest and shoulder. He Duoye held Lin Mian's waist with one hand and caressed her arm with the other, slowly touching her fingers and finally taking their hands.

This position was a bit too intimate, but Lin Mian didn't move. She rested her head on He Duoye's shoulder and tilted her head back slightly.

He Duoye looked down at her, their eyes met, and they naturally shared a kiss.

The breeze blowing from the water is gentle and comfortable.

Time seemed to slow down in this afternoon, when the water rippled and the golden light shone through.

But at this moment, it wouldn't matter if time slowed down even a little.

The sun gradually sets and disappears below the horizon. The moon's shadow emerges from the clouds, and countless stars twinkle and then gradually dim amidst the surging clouds. The vanished sun rises again from the horizon on the other side.

Another new day.

The weather was still great, so He Duoye took Lin Mian hiking in the nearby woods. Unlike the parks and forests in China, this place only had wild, untamed forests.

The road was difficult to walk on, overgrown with bushes and covered with various branches and vines. Outside the woods, the sun was bright, but inside the woods it was damp and humid, and infested with insects.

He Duoye led Lin Mian, stopping and resting frequently, walking very slowly.

At noon, they found a clearing on the mountaintop. He Duoye took off the sniper rifle he had been carrying all the way, had a simple lunch, and then set up the sniper rifle on the mountain to practice shooting.

Lin Mian also fired a few bullets, but she wasn't really interested, so she tried wilderness survival next to her.

Lin Mian's years of experience in short videos finally came in handy. He used a dagger to dig a hole, set up a small makeshift stove, and finally used a tin kettle to successfully boil a pot of water.

Sweating profusely, she divided the hot water in half, added a little cold water to make two cups of lukewarm water, and gave one cup to He Duoye.

He Duoye looked at the water for a while, then at the mess Lin Mian had made of the ground, the mud and dirt on her face, and her sweaty nose.

"..."

Lin Mian took a sip of the warm water she had painstakingly prepared: "Bring some tea tomorrow, so it won't just be plain water."

After saying that, she wiped her sweat and urged, "Hurry up and drink it, or the water will get cold."

He Duoye couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and wiped the dust off Lin Mian's face, then drank the warm water.

After a long day of intense hiking, they returned to the little white house as it was getting dark. Lin Mian was exhausted and collapsed onto the carpet under the sofa as soon as she entered the house.

He Duoye acted as if nothing had happened. He put away his gun and backpack, took off his coat, leaving him only in a black tight-fitting T-shirt. He helped Lin Mian up and took off her dirty coat and pants.

"Should we take a shower first or eat first?" he asked.

I worked up a sweat today and spent several hours in the woods, so I feel sticky and uncomfortable all over.

"I have no strength left."

He Duoye carried Lin Mian into the bathroom, turned on the hot water, and let her take a bath.

He stood to the side and took a shower in the rain.

When Lin Mian finished her bath and came out, He Duoye had already prepared dinner. There were freshly stir-fried vegetables, beautifully sliced ​​ribeye steak, and steaming hot pork rib medicinal soup.

However, the soup was made by Meizhu and was just served.

Lin Mian was already hungry, so she went straight to the dining table. Before she could even pick up her chopsticks, He Duoye picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.

"..." Lin Mian struggled to get up. "What are you doing? I want to eat."

He Duoye threw her onto the bed, grabbed her calf that was kicking him, and pulled her down to his body. He then pressed her soft thigh down with his large hand.

The soreness in her muscles left Lin Mian feeling completely drained.

He Duoye held her calf and slowly said, "I'll give you a stretch and massage so your legs won't hurt tomorrow."

Lin Mian wanted to pull her legs back, but he held them firmly down.

"You're pressing on me and it hurts."

"Bear with it," He Duoye said, but he still softened the pressure considerably, using only the strength of a massage.

Only occasionally, when her muscles were taut from being massaged, the sudden soreness made Lin Mian groan.

He Duoye suddenly stopped and said, "Oh no."

Lin Mianzhen thought something had happened and sat up, asking, "What's wrong?"

He grabbed her leg and dragged her toward him.

"You called me *?" He Duoye leaned down, startling Lin Mian so much that she crawled backward as fast as she could.

"Are you even human? I'm starving." Lin Mian crumpled the sheets into a mess. "You'd better watch out or I might faint on your bed due to low blood sugar."

She hadn't climbed two steps when He Duoye hugged her from behind.

"No, no..." Lin Mian struggled desperately.

He Duoye held her in his arms, fell onto the bed, and kept laughing, his chest heaving as he pressed against Lin Mian's slender back.

Lin Mian knew he was teasing her: "..."

"You're so annoying!" Lin Mian grabbed a pillow and hit him.

Seriously, you'd die if you didn't act like a jerk.

After He Duoye finished laughing, he picked up Lin Mian, placed her on a chair next to the dining table, served her soup and rice, and they ate dinner together.

Lin Mian was so tired after the day that she fell asleep while lying in bed playing on her phone after finishing her meal.

He Duoye disassembled and cleaned the sniper rifle in the living room. Lin Mian sat up, glanced at it, and then lay back down. She persevered until He Duoye returned to the bedroom.

They thought they would just go to sleep and rest tonight, but He Duoye was really full of energy.

Lin Mian was really tired and sleepy, and almost fell asleep halfway through.

He Duoye pinched her face and woke her up.

Lin Mian wrapped her arms around He Duoye's shoulders and pressed her body against him, saying, "Hurry up."

He Duoye wrapped his large arm around the back of Lin Mian's neck, supporting her: "Hurry up, you'll fall asleep faster."

Just like before.

So he picked her up and stood her on the carpet. This time, Lin Mian wouldn't fall asleep; she would just hold him tightly.
