“Rong’er, you’ve rekindled my life. Because of you, I’ve decided to love this world.”
Xiao Shu lowered his head and kissed Yin Rong’s forehead as he said, “Please stay by my side and let me love this world.”
Hearing Xiao Shu’s heartfelt words, Yin Rong was deeply touched.
She nodded vigorously and promised Xiao Shu, “I will always be with you and treat you as my family, my lover.”
“Okay.”
When Yin Rong saw that Xiao Shu’s eyes were filled with love and trust, her heart raced. She mustered her courage and raised her head to kiss Xiao Shu.
Xiao Shu was a little surprised by the kiss, but he quickly took the initiative to press Yin Rong’s head and deepened the kiss.
“Cough.” Yu Huang suddenly jumped down from an oak tree in the distance. Then, she stood under the tree and crossed her arms as she smiled at the two of them.
Upon hearing the noise, Yin Rong immediately pushed Xiao Shu away like a frightened bird and stood up with a flushed face. Then, she turned around and rubbed her face. When the heat on her face faded a little, she turned around and asked Yu Huang, “How long have you been peeping?”
Yu Huang said, “I wasn’t peeking. I walked over openly, but the two of you were too engrossed and didn’t notice me. You can’t blame me for this.”
Yin Rong was so engrossed in kissing Xiao Shu just now that she really didn’t listen to the movements around her carefully.
Yin Rong blushed again. On the other hand, Xiao Shu was much more thick-skinned. He pressed his fingers to his lips and rubbed them with yearning. Only then did he glare at Yu Huang unhappily and condemn her, “Can’t you appear a few minutes later?”
Yu Huang raised her eyebrows. “Your desires weren’t satisfied so now you’re blaming me?”
Xiao Shu sneered. “The next time you’re intimate with Senior Sheng, I’ll do a sneak attack too.”
Yu Huang shrugged and said fearlessly, “As long as you dare to, I’ll be waiting.”
“Alright, the proposal was a success and you’ve kissed each other already. Hurry up and go back to eat. After eating, we have to continue on our way.”
Yu Huang turned around first and walk towards the camp. Yin Rong looked at Xiao Shu shyly and jogged after her.
Xiao Shu wrapped his arms around the back of his head and hummed a tune as he followed them.
Everyone surrounded the bonfire and grilled fish. Xiao Shu deliberately used his left hand to hold the seasoning bottle and sprinkled black pepper on the grilled fish. When Feng Yuncheng saw the fancy ring on his middle finger, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. “Senior Xiao Shu, you’re already so old. Why are you still wearing a thing that only little girls like?”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Xiao Shu’s left hand. This time, they all saw the ring.
Xiao Shu smiled mysteriously. “You’re so ignorant. This is a gift from Rong’er.” Xiao Shu winked at Feng Yuncheng and mocked, “If you have the ability, get Beatrice to give you one too.”
Feng Yuncheng had previously despised Xiao Shu’s ring for being childish, but now, he was envious of how happy Xiao Shu was. Feng Yuncheng looked at Beatrice expectantly.
Beatrice noticed Feng Yuncheng’s eager gaze. She couldn’t bear to let Feng Yuncheng down, so she found a purple gem the size of a pigeon egg from her interspatial ring and threw it to Feng Yuncheng. She said generously, “It’s for you. You can do whatever you want with it.”
As Feng Yuncheng held the heavy pigeon egg, he was filled with disappointment. “Your Highness, you know what I truly want.”
An awkward look flashed across Beatrice’s face, but she pretended not to hear what Feng Yuncheng was hinting at. She took off the spatial storage device on her wrist and handed it to Feng Yuncheng. “Then look for it yourself and see if there is anything you like.”
Feng Yuncheng laughed self-deprecatingly and returned the storage device and the pigeon egg to Beatrice. He said, “Your Highness, although these things are precious, they are not what I want. These things are precious, so keep them well.”
Beatrice took back the storage device.
Feng Yuncheng handed the cooked fish in front of him to Beatrice. “Your Highness, there’s no chili on this fish. I specifically roasted it for you. It’s already cooked. Be careful not to be pricked by the fish bones.”
Although she could eat anything, she didn’t like spicy food. Other than the officers in the army who took care of her, no one else had noticed that she didn’t like spicy food. Even her two brothers who grew up with her didn’t know.
She didn’t know how Feng Yuncheng discovered it.
The fish was clearly delicious, but when Beatrice saw the forced smile on Feng Yuncheng’s face, she suddenly lost her appetite.
Beatrice suddenly put the fish down and took off the necklace that had been around her neck.
“Feng Yuncheng.”
Feng Yuncheng was flipping the grilled fish. When he heard this, he subconsciously looked up at Beatrice. “Your Highness, what’s wrong?” Feng Yuncheng saw a pendant necklace in Beatrice’s hand and revealed a confused expression.
“Your Highness, why did you take off the necklace?” Feng Yuncheng had long discovered that Beatrice always wore a pendant necklace. However, the necklace was too long, and the pendant was hidden in Beatrice’s chest, so Feng Yuncheng didn’t know what the pendant was.
This time, Feng Yuncheng finally saw the complete appearance of the pendant.
It was a crystal pendant. There was a string of black words on the pendant, but those words were facing away from Feng Yuncheng, so Feng Yuncheng couldn’t see what those words were.
Beatrice said, “Come closer.”
Feng Yuncheng leaned over obediently.
Beatrice put the necklace around Feng Yuncheng’s neck.
The necklace looked very thick, but the material was very light and it was very cold to the touch. As soon as it touched Feng Yuncheng’s skin, Feng Yuncheng felt a sense of chill.
“What is this, Your Highness?” Feng Yuncheng asked curiously.
Beatrice took a bite of the delicious grilled fish and then explained, “That is the identity card of Iron Thunder Army.”
Feng Yuncheng was stunned.
He quickly grabbed the pendant and looked down. He saw the words written on the crystal—
Commander of the Iron Thunder Army – Beatrice.
Feng Yuncheng heard Beatrice say, “A drop of my blood has been integrated into the identity card, as well as my identity information. All official soldiers of the Iron Thunder Army have identity cards. When soldiers serve, they wear it to the battlefield. If soldiers can retire alive, this identity card will become a symbol of their honor.”
“Retired soldiers usually give their identity cards to their families and… lovers.”
“Feng Yuncheng, I don’t have a ring, but I’ll give you my honor.” After saying that, Beatrice was too embarrassed to see Feng Yuncheng’s reaction. In order to hide her embarrassment, she quickly lowered her head and took another bite of the fish.
After Feng Yuncheng heard the story of this identity token, his nose suddenly tingled, and he felt even more blissful and satisfied.
“Your Highness, I like this gift very much.” Feng Yuncheng lowered his head and kissed the identity card. His pious appearance was like that of a young boy offering his first kiss to his first love.
When Beatrice saw Feng Yuncheng’s actions, her ears actually burned slightly.
