Lin Yiran was afraid that she would fall into the water, so she hung her hands tightly on Xia Zongze's neck. The two of them kissed each other in love, and the birds flying in the mountain stream shyly avoided between the treetops.

It seemed as if only each other was left between heaven and earth. I don’t know how long it took, but the two finally woke up from their lingering passionate kisses.

Lin Yiran was a little panting, leaning on Xia Zongze's chest while breathing, listening to his powerful heartbeat, the longing, hesitation, uneasiness hidden in his heart... All of them disappeared at this moment, and only peace of mind and satisfaction were left.

It's great to hug each other again!

Xia Zongze's lower forehead gently rubbed against Lin Yiran's head, and his love and intimacy were fully revealed in this tiny movement.

Finally, after recovering, Lin Yiran asked in a low voice, "When did it arrive?"

"just!"

"Didn't you stay at Youfu?"

“Can’t stop!”

Xia Zongze's low and magnetic voice was above Lin Yiran's head, and echoed through his head and turned into her heart. She felt that her heart was itchy. She raised her head and looked coquettish. She reached out to pinch his nose and hummed, "When did it become so slick?"

"Is there any!" Xia Zongze felt that he was wronged. He was obviously the truth, but he would not emphasize that he just kept his love and his like in his heart.

Lin Yiran glared at him and pouted and replied: "Of course there is!"

Lin Yiran's pouting look made Xia Zongze feel relieved when he saw it, and he smiled dotingly: "Okay, if you say you have it!"

Lin Yiran was not satisfied with the answer and wanted to reach out to pinch his nose. Her little hand was caught by Xia Zongze's big hand, and she took it to her lips and kissed her gently.

Lin Yiran let Xia Zongze kiss her little hand. She enjoyed this intimate closeness and looked up at Xia Zongze, enjoying the joy of the reunion.

Neither of them noticed that they had been standing in the stream for a long time. It was not until the afterglow of the sunset shone on the surface of the stream and the light of the waves reflected on their faces that they realized that they had been standing in the stream for a long time.

Lin Yiran got off Xia Zongze, took his hand and asked, "Have you had lunch?"

"I ate some dry food."

Lin Yiran looked up at the sky: "It's still a while before dinner, so I have to go back quickly and let my mother cook more!"

Xia Zongze also wanted to be with Lin Yiran, reminding him, "Let my subordinates talk!"

"Ah..." Lin Yiran blinked in confusion.

Xia Zongze smiled softly and said, "I want to talk to you alone."

"oh!"

Seeing that the two of them were finally over, Sanhe had already walked from a distance to the stream, stood by the water and heard the prince's words, and quickly turned around to make arrangements.

When Lin Yiran saw someone going back to the village and asked Lin to cook more, she was not in a hurry. She turned to Xia Zongze and smiled, then looked down at the hands holding each other, as if they had never left.

This feels so good!

Lin Yiran suddenly said, "Come with me!"

Before Xia Zongze could reply, Lin Yiran pulled him to run.

On the ridge of the field, a man and a woman, one tall and one short, running in the sunset, with golden afterglow all over her body. The summer breeze blows by, and the hair raised by the wind is tangled and magnificent; the robe that rises in the wind is elegant, and the scenery is picturesque from a distance.

"Ran'er, where are we going?" Xia Zongze asked happily.

"Please eat watermelon!"

“What is watermelon?”

A prince had never heard of Xigua before. Lin Yiran stopped in surprise, which made Xia Zongze almost bump into her. In order to avoid hitting her, she picked up Lin Yiran and turned around along the momentum.

Xia Zongze looked at the ditch on the side and said, "I almost knocked you into the ditch."

Lin Yiran smiled mischievously and said, "It just so happens that I'll go in and take a shower."

This time it was Xia Zongze's turn to pinch her nose and said with a smile: "Naughty, how can girls take a bath in this open-air canal!"

"Hehe... say a joke..." Lin Yiran laughed in Xia Zongze's arms.

Xia Zongze asked, "What did you say you were treating me to eat..."

"Watermelon." Lin Yiran asked, "Have you not eaten it?"

Xia Zongze thought for a moment, "Maybe he has eaten it, but he can't remember the name!"

"It's possible!" Lin Yiran smiled and said, "Let me down and I'll pick one to compensate you."

"good!"

Xia Zongze and Lin Yiran held hands unknowingly. She stared at the watermelon in the field while walking, and her little head turned around, which was very interesting. Xia Zongze couldn't help but use his other hand to press his lips to smile.

Lin Yiran was focusing on picking watermelons, but she didn't notice Xia Zongze's little moves at all.

"Wow, I saw a big watermelon." Lin Yiran let go of Xia Zongze's hand and avoided the vine and crawled into the ground. In the blink of an eye, she picked up a big watermelon worth more than ten kilograms and shouted to Xia Zongze, "Zi Tao, have you seen it? Is it big?"

Xia Zongze nodded with a smile, "See!"

“Have you eaten?”

Xia Zongze shook his head, "I don't remember, maybe I haven't eaten it."

"Wow, then I'll compensate you quickly!" Lin Yiran walked towards the edge of the field with the watermelon in her arms.

"Stand and don't move, I'll do it--" Xia Zongze hurriedly said when he saw Lin Yiran holding the melon with difficulty.

Lin Yiran reminded: "Then don't break the melon vine."

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Xia Zongze carefully walked to Lin Yiran and took the melon over, and held it with only one hand, and reached out to Lin Yiran to hold it. She let her little hand hold the big hand.

The two of them held hands and arrived at the edge of the field together. Lin Yiran said, "Let's go to the stream just now to wash and eat, okay?"

"what ever!"

"Then let's go quickly."

After washing the watermelon, Lin Yiran found that there was no knife and was about to punch it down.

Xia Zongze stood by and understood and asked, "Do you need to cut this watermelon?"

"Yes, but I don't have a knife, I can only smash it."

Xia Zongze glared at Lin Yiran and took out a dagger from his military boots, "Is this OK?"

"It's so good, brother!" Lin Yiran took the dagger and shouted happily.

When Xia Zongze heard the 'brother', he shook his head helplessly. He understood that this girl would call her whatever she wanted, regardless of her superiority, but it definitely depends on her mood. If she is in a good mood, it sounds nice, and it is not good, so he knows her.

The 'click' collapsed. As soon as the knife touched the watermelon, the watermelon cracked. Lin Yiran shouted happily: "Wow, this melon is ripe, it must be sweet to the heart." She said as she cut a piece and handed it to Xia Zongze.

Xia Zongze took the watermelon and smiled and said, "Isn't this a cold melon?"

"Han..." Lin Yiran suddenly remembered that some things were called differently from modern times, and grinned, "Yes, it is also called Hangua. This seed was bought by Brother Yang from the Nanyi Gentiles, and it will be planted on a large scale next year."

Xia Zongze looked up at Lin Yiran, "I heard that you asked someone to go to Nanyi to buy cotton seeds and brought back these fruit seeds, right?"

"Yeah, that's it!"

Xia Zongze nodded and said, "The cold melon I ate before was indeed tributed from Fanbian."

"Then you eat it, is it theirs delicious or mine?" Lin Yiran squatted on the ground and asked happily with her little face tilted.

Xia Zongze narrowed his eyes and smiled, taking the first bite in Lin Yiran's eyes.

"How about it?"

Xia Zongze spit out the watermelon seeds and nodded, "It's watery and sweet!"

"It's better than them!"

"Yes!" Xia Zongze wanted to throw away the spitted seeds.

Lin Yiran hurriedly took it over, carefully put it in his crossbody bag, and said, "No seeds can be wasted. If you waste one, you will have to eat dozens of melons less."

"Is it so exaggerated?" Xia Zongze reached out and bounced Lin Yiran's forehead.

Lin Yiran bluffed Xia Zongze who was hitting him and said, "Of course."

"Haha..." Xia Zongze was amused by Lin Yiran's right path.

Not far from the ridge of the field, Lin Xiaohe came over and asked them to go home for dinner.

Lin Yiran waved at Lin Xiaohe and replied, "Xiaohe, let's go back soon."

"Then second sister, hurry up!"

"I know, I'll go back soon!"

Lin Yiran divided the remaining watermelon to Xia Zongze's guards. They thanked each other and ate the watermelon happily.

I have been rushing around for many days and working hard. Eating a piece of water and sweet watermelon at this moment is simply the ultimate enjoyment of life.

Lingguo Capital

The news that Xia Zongze arrived at Youfu had reached the Ling King Palace, and some people were happy and some were sad.

Who is happy and who is worried?

In the palace of Xianfei, the second prince was talking to his uncle about blessings.
