"No need."

Cheng Qingzhi picked up a handkerchief and lightly wiped the water droplets on his neck.

"I just need to wipe it with a handkerchief."

He said, the thin white handkerchief wrapped around his fingers like freshly washed gauze, with a faint residue of water stains. His phoenix-like eyes were sparkling.

He looked like an enchanting fairy who was unaware of her own charm.

She lowered her head, slightly awkwardly nodded, and sat beside him, continuing to help him with the vegetables.

"Tomorrow, I want to go to the city and take a look."

Cheng Songer tried to break the somewhat quiet atmosphere while sorting the vegetables.

"Go to the city?"

Cheng Qingzhi's hand holding the vegetables paused slightly, his fingertips still had a trace of water, clinging to his neatly trimmed nails, his fingers were as clear as transparent.

Cheng Songer took a deep breath, forcing herself to focus all her attention on the wild vegetables in her hands.

"It has been several months. I noticed that fewer people who fled to the city have returned. It seems that the situation in the city should have improved a lot. Didn't we earn some money before? I want to take this opportunity to invest in some industries."

Cheng Qingzhi nodded, "Okay."

His deep-rooted belief was that women were the ones who should accomplish great things, while men only needed to rely on and obey, as well as take care of the household matters.

Cheng Songer glanced at him and saw him smiling at her with a twinkle in his eyes.

She couldn't help but cough, "How about you come with me tomorrow?"

Cheng Qingzhi put down the wild vegetables in his hand.

Cheng Songer explained, "The journey to the city is far, and there are not many people left in the village now. I don't feel at ease leaving you alone."

"Okay."

Cheng Qingzhi smiled, his watery eyes shimmering like honey.

Help-

Cheng Songer lowered her blushing face, and the wild vegetables in her hand were pinched into two pieces by her forceful fingertips.

"Look at you, wild vegetables shouldn't be treated like this," Cheng Qingzhi's lips curled slightly, taking the wild vegetables from her hand. His slightly cool fingertips lightly slid over her knuckles.

Cheng Songer shivered.

"Wild chicory is bitter, but after blanching it with water, the bitterness will be reduced. So, you only need to remove the bad leaves. If you treat them like you just did, there won't be much left of the basket of wild vegetables," Cheng Qingzhi's agile fingers moved through the tender wild vegetables. His slightly raised phoenix eyes caught sight of Cheng Songer's stiff shoulders, and he smiled imperceptibly.

After having dinner at night, the two of them lay down together, sharing a pillow.

Cheng Qingzhi's freshly washed hair still carried the natural fragrance of soapnut. A few strands scattered near her hand, and the fragrance wafted into her nostrils.

Although they had shared a bed for several months, they had never crossed that barrier.

Perhaps feeling a bit cold, Cheng Qingzhi squeezed into her embrace.
