  There were also many parks in the capital. When Ji Buwang took Mu Jingzhe to the park again, the two of them already knew what it implied.

  As they stood under the shade of a tree, their hands were already covered in sweat.

  This time, Ji Buwang was impulsive and brave enough to take action. Mu Jingzhe’s heart was beating furiously. Feeling this strange sensation, she now knew that watching it on TV was completely different from experiencing it in real life.

  This was the first time she discovered that Ji Buwang’s lips were so soft.

  Mu Jingzhe’s heart beat faster and faster, and so did Ji Buwang’s. His hand subconsciously stroked Mu Jingzhe’s ear. Mu Jingzhe trembled for a moment, and her mind went blank for a second. She subconsciously exerted strength with her arms.

  She usually didn’t use much strength and she was actually similar to an ordinary person. After many years of training, she had complete control over her strength, unlike when she was young and hadn’t been able to control it. But now, she had lost control of her strength and exerted a lot of strength as she hugged Ji Buwang…

  Upon feeling her tight hug, Ji Buwang grunted. She had used so much strength that he almost couldn’t breathe.

  “Jingzhe… Relax.”

  Ji Buwang gently patted Mu Jingzhe’s back. Mu Jingzhe hummed in a daze. “What?”

  “Relax, Jingzhe. Relax.”

  Mu Jingzhe’s heart pounded, but her mind regained some clarity. “What?”

  “Relax, Jingzhe, relax. Relax your hand.” Ji Buwang’s face was red from holding it in, and Mu Jingzhe finally reacted. She quickly loosened her grip and let go of Ji Buwang.

  Ji Buwang finally caught his breath. He had almost been strangled to death by Jingzhe just now.

  Mu Jingzhe finally realized what was going on. “Are… Are you alright?”

  What had she done? Mu Jingzhe covered her face. She had gotten too excited just now and nearly… If she hadn’t reacted in time, would she have strangled someone to death?

  She would be too embarrassed to live if she strangled her boyfriend to death because of a kiss.

  “I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m fine.” Ji Buwang was actually still in a bit of pain. This was also the first time he experienced Mu Jingzhe’s strength, but he wasn’t angry or afraid.

  Other than a trace of helplessness, everything else felt very sweet to him. Jingzhe was actually… too cute. She was just inexperienced.

  \r \r \r

  He found it cute, but Mu Jingzhe felt terrible. She didn’t know that someone who was as strong as an ox would experience such an unexpected situation in a relationship.

  “I’m so embarrassed. Leave quickly. I can’t even face you now.”

  Although Mu Jingzhe said this, she hid in Ji Buwang’s arms. She didn’t dare think about the future. What if she couldn’t control her excitement every single time?

  If this kiss had already been so intense, then after they got married, would Ji Buwang be able to survive their wedding night? He wouldn’t be hugged to death or strangled to death by her excitement, right?

  Other people’s wedding night was theirs, but would hers and Ji Buwang’s wedding night be a night of adventure? Would Ji Buwang have to wear protective clothing?

  Come to think of it, Ji Buwang was simply risking his life by dating her. In the future, would he also have to risk his life to consummate their marriage?

  No, that couldn’t be. She could definitely control it. They couldn’t have such a future!

  As she denied it, Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but think of a solution, such as tying up her hands.

  Even if her hands were tied up, though, her feet were strong too. She would have to tie both her hands and feet. No, wait. If her hands and feet were tied up… Wouldn’t that be too wicked?

  Besides, she might be able to break free from ordinary ropes. She couldn’t possibly use chains or something else, right?

  Ah, I can’t even think about it!

  “Jingzhe, what are you thinking about?” Ji Buwang’s voice interrupted Mu Jingzhe’s thoughts.

  Mu Jingzhe thought for a moment and asked, “Are you afraid?” After suffering through this, would Ji Buwang be traumatized by kissing?

  “No, why would I? Just listen to my heart and you’ll know.”

  Coincidentally, Mu Jingzhe’s head was buried in his chest. When she listened carefully, she realized that his heart was thumping very quickly, just like hers.

  “It’s alright, don’t think too much about it.” Ji Buwang kissed Mu Jingzhe’s forehead. “Let’s go.”

  Ji Buwang’s voice and reaction comforted Mu Jingzhe. He really wasn’t afraid. After confirming that Ji Buwang wasn’t afraid, Mu Jingzhe felt happy again.

  Wedding night and whatnot, she could think about this in the future.

  “Wait a moment.” Mu Jingzhe held Ji Buwang back, unwilling to let go. She liked this feeling of them being alone in the world.

  “Okay.”

  The two of them hugged quietly for a long time until they suddenly heard the sound of a branch snapping.

  Someone was there.

  Mu Jingzhe trembled. “Someone’s here.” She frantically grabbed Ji Buwang’s hand. “Let’s go.”

  Ji Buwang bared his teeth in the darkness but didn’t make a sound. He obediently followed Mu Jingzhe.

  The two of them successfully escaped from the park and agreed to leave together the next day.

  The next day, Ji Buwang was wearing a white shirt with his sleeves and buttons tightly buttoned, giving off an ascetic vibe. Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but look at him again and again.

  Ji Buwang even had Old Master Ji’s gift for his future in-laws with him, so when he returned to the county that night, he first went to visit Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng.

  Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng had sharp eyes. They could tell at a glance that the two of them acted differently now and they couldn’t stop smiling.

  Ji Buwang wanted to make a good impression, and his words were ridiculously sweet. However, something unexpected happened during the meal.

  While they were eating, soup accidentally splashed Ji Buwang’s sleeve. Li Zhaodi wanted to wipe it for him, but Ji Buwang didn’t have any time to think before unbuttoning his sleeve. Then, the handprint-shaped bruise on his wrist was revealed before everyone.

  Ji Buwang wanted to cover it up, but it was too late.

  His skin was very fair to begin with, so the bruise was very obvious. Besides, it had clearly been made by someone’s hand.

  “Why is your wrist green? Who grabbed you? Why did that person use so much strength?” Li Zhaodi’s heart ached at the sight of it as she quickly asked about it.

  “It’s nothing. I’m fine,” Ji Buwang quickly replied. Actually, it wasn’t just his wrist. There were also bruised spots on his back, and the culprit was none other than Mu Jingzhe.

  His back had been bruised by Mu Jingzhe’s arms, and his wrist had been accidentally bruised by Mu Jingzhe when she had pulled him away in the park.

  This was a situation that rarely ever happened to her, but this time…

  Mu Jingzhe stared blankly at the bruise on Ji Buwang’s wrist, then looked down at her hands.

  “…”

  Ahhh, why had she bruised his skin? Anyone who didn’t know better would think that she had abused him.

  Meanwhile, Li Zhaodi was still asking what was going on. Mu Jingzhe looked at the sky and earth, but she didn’t look at Li Zhaodi because she was too embarrassed. She was also depressed because her relationship was so strange.

  “I’m fine, Auntie. I’m really fine.” Ji Buwang looked at Mu Jingzhe with a comforting look in his eyes. Although Jingzhe’s excitement had caused him quite a lot of pain, he knew that Jingzhe hadn’t done it on purpose.

  Li Zhaodi couldn’t tell yet, but Mu Teng could. If one looked at the handprint carefully, it resembled Jingzhe’s hand. Most importantly, other than Jingzhe, who else could have hurt Ji Buwang so badly?

  Mu Teng coughed. “Alright, it’s fine as long as Buwang says so. Don’t worry.”

  He looked at Mu Jingzhe, wanting to say something, but hesitated…… He hadn’t expected that, between the two of them, Jingzhe might be manhandling Buwang. He wondered what she had done…
