Under the stars in the sky, Chu Zheng hugged Cheng Lingsu and sat on the glazed tiled roof of the hall.

Cheng Lingsu snuggled up to him, listening to the stories he had experienced after separation, he felt sweet, but still a little uneasy.

She is indeed a girl who lacks confidence and sense of security.

"Chu...Brother Chu." Since there is no longer any need to emphasize his "senior sister" identity, Cheng Lingsu did not call Chu Zheng "junior brother", but changed his name when he first got to know each other and fell in love with him.

She whispered: "I...I am such a girl who is not beautiful and cannot grow up, is it really OK?"

Cheng Lingsu didn't say anything, but Chu Zheng understood what she meant. She asked, "Can you really stay with you?"

Hearing the unconfidence in the girl's words, Chu Zheng hugged her tightly: "I'll say it again, you are really good-looking, which is in line with my aesthetic view, not coaxing you. Now you are the 'medical fairy' on the island. As long as you shout, I don't know how many people are rushing to marry you. If I didn't take the lead, I wouldn't have the confidence to keep a girl like you by my side."

As he said that, Chu Zheng said "viciously" again: "Also, Lingsu, I warn you that even if you are yourself, I will be angry if I slander my beloved 'Cheng Lingsu' like this."

Cheng Lingsu finally burst into laughter by him, and shaved his face with his little fingers, "Are you ashamed? You can say such words. I really don't know why I thought you were an honest person before."

When Chu Zheng saw her smiling, he couldn't help but laugh: "I'm very honest now, if I'm not honest, I'll eat you long ago."

Cheng Lingsu has been studying medicine since elementary school and knows a lot about men and women. He knows what he meant by "eating". He immediately blushed and stretched out his hand to hit him: "Brother Chu, you are getting worse and worse."

Chu Zheng hadn't seen the innocence of a little girl like her for a long time, and he was extremely happy in his heart, knowing that Cheng Lingsu had finally let go of his burden.

He smiled and kissed Cheng Lingsu's little face again.

Although Cheng Lingsu is not a stunning beautiful girl now, Chu Zheng really thinks that Cheng Lingsu's appearance is most in line with his aesthetic taste and will not make people feel very beautiful, but it is very pleasing to look at. The more you look at it, the more you look at it, the more you look good.

Especially her eyes are no less than Guo Xiang. They are so beautiful that it is easy for people to ignore her relatively unpretentious appearance and see her beautiful soul.

What's more, for Chu Zheng, who has seen all the flowers and no colors, what kind of beauty has not slept... Cough, I haven't had any in-depth communication. Compared to appearance, he values ​​personality and inner self more.

Cheng Lingsu is withdrawn, stubborn, not good at socializing, nor does she like to show her sincerity, and is also a little inferior, but she is kind-hearted and can give silently for love. She would rather be wronged than think about her lover.

At that time, for Chu Zheng, she would rather pay ten years of life than give a needle to temporarily improve her understanding. Learning the Miao sword technique is a typical example. Later, for Chu Zheng's reputation, she forced herself to regard herself as an elder and keep a distance from Chu Zheng.

How could this tenderness that makes people feel so painful that it doesn’t touch Chu Zheng?

Compared with this beautiful inner and personality, her appearance is simply insignificant than those stunning beauties.

Feeling the endless love in Chu Zheng's eyes, Cheng Lingsu's heart was extremely sweet, and for the first time he felt the happiness of mutual affection.

She leaned softly in Chu Zheng's arms and began to talk about her life on the island. Chu Zheng listened with relish, especially when she saw her bright eyes flashing. Obviously, this could use her medical skills to help others, and gain recognition and kindness in life, which made Cheng Lingsu quite liked.

Chu Zheng smiled and said, "Then have you missed me in the past six months?"

He knew that this girl was thin-skinned and would never admit it, so he deliberately teased her.

Sure enough, Cheng Lingsu's little face suddenly turned red, and she glared at him in shame and annoyance: "Why do I miss you?"

Look, I guessed that this answer was. Chu Zheng laughed and hugged her tightly.

Maybe Cheng Lingsu is always too sensible and steady. Chu Zheng likes to see her so vivid and coquettish expressions of a girl who is in line with her age.

Cheng Lingsu had a fight with him for a while, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Chu, what are you going to do with Miss Shui?"

Chu Zheng pretended to be stupid and said, "What should I do?"

Cheng Lingsu glared at him dissatisfiedly: "Don't you know Miss Shui's thoughts?"

Speaking of this, she sighed lightly and said seriously: "Brother Chu, I tell you that Miss Shui is a good girl and is dedicated to you. These days she recites scriptures and prays for you every day, and takes care of Niu Niu in every detail. It is so difficult for a girl like her who is rich and young and lively, and can also know how hard she likes you. You can't let her down her deep affection."

Chu Zheng hugged her tightly and sighed, "You... it would be fine if you don't want the girl's jealousy, but you're even saying good things for her?"

Cheng Lingsu bit his lips and said, "I want to be jealous too, but you already have your junior sister. What kind of jealousy can I take as a latecomer? One day I will not be bullied to death by your senior sister, I will be Amitabha."

Chu Zheng was happy. He really liked to see Cheng Lingsu's side as a young girl: "Don't worry, Xiang'er has a good personality and must be very compatible with you."

"Well..." Cheng Lingsu nodded without comment and sighed: "Miss Shui has lived with me for so long. I understand her thoughts, but the more I understand, the more I feel sorry for her. A good girl like her should have a good home and should get what she wants. So I can be jealous of anyone except her."

The beautiful figure of Shui Sheng also appeared in Chu Zheng's heart.

In fact, it doesn’t take Cheng Lingsu to say that he also knows Shui Sheng’s “little thoughts”. She couldn’t understand it even more when she said the words “Where is Sister Cheng, I am too”.

She knew that she might not be very important in Chu Zheng's heart, but she was sure that Cheng Lingsu must be very important in Chu Zheng's heart, so staying with Cheng Lingsu was equivalent to staying with Chu Zheng's side.

Perhaps for this silly girl, even if she is nameless and has no distinction, she cannot even get the response and love of her lover, but as long as she is silently by her side and can see him from time to time, she will be very satisfied. Or she may have a little bit of hope of accumulating time and falling through the stones, hoping to accompany her long companion to exchange for a little happiness that belongs to her.

Shui Sheng is really like a pool of autumn water, clean and pure. Because of this, her trick will not only not make people feel disgusted, but will only make people feel distressed. Therefore, Cheng Lingsu's introvertedness will also regard her as a sister; Cheng Lingsu's jealous and self-pitying temperament will also take the initiative to speak for her and strive for happiness for her.

Chu Zheng said softly: "Don't worry, I will give Miss Shui an explanation, not because of what you said just now, but because she is her."

Cheng Lingsu looked at him with bright eyes and was proud of his choice again. The one he fell in love with was indeed a unique and extraordinary man.

Because she is as smart as she can hear the meaning of Chu Zheng's words at once.

He would accept Shui Sheng, but not because he was because of her Cheng Lingsu's sake, but because he was really moved by the silly girl. "It's just because she is her", in just a few words, you can see Brother Chu's respect and love for the girl who loves him - after all, no girl would be truly happy and happy because of the love she got with sympathy.

...

It will take several days for the troops and soldiers to be dispatched on Chenxi Island to prepare for food, grass and armor. Chu Zheng wanted to go back to Liang and continue preparing when it was dawn, but after thinking about it, he still stayed to have breakfast with Cheng Lingsu, Shui Sheng and his sister Niu Niu.

After not seeing him for more than half a year, Shui Sheng has become much thinner. His pretty face, which was originally a goose egg-shaped one, has now become a bit melon-shaped, with thin branches, like a weak willow and a weak willow. The rich lady's rich aura has become much weaker, and she looks more beautiful, just like an ordinary family jasper.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the pair of lovely eyes. The moment I saw Chu Zheng, I burst out with unconcealed joy and excitement, and the strands of love were even cut even more.

Chu Zheng just nodded politely at her and called "Miss Water".

Shui Sheng's eyes were slightly dark, but he quickly returned a gentle smile and silently retreated to Cheng Lingsu's side.

Cheng Lingsu glanced at Chu Zheng angrily, and didn't know what Mingtang this elder brother Chu was going to build.

Chu Zheng smiled and hugged Niu Niu who rushed over, held her little waist, and raised her high, making Niu Niu giggle.

The little girl has eaten and dressed well in the city lord's mansion in the past six months. Now she has become a little white and fat. Her face, which was so thin before, also showed a healthy blush. It can be seen that Shui Sheng really took good care of her.

I was too thin before and couldn't tell. Now my face is a bit white and fat. Although I can't be considered a beauty, my facial features are quite good and pretty.

The little girl and Chu Zheng had not seen each other for more than half a year. When they saw Chu Zheng again, they recognized him all at once. They also rushed over to hug Chu Zheng's legs and wanted to hug him. A series of "brother" childish voices made Chu Zheng's heart melt.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but Chu Zheng seemed to be able to find the shadow of the little girl in Niu Niu, which made him love and indulge Niu Niu in every way. He actually let the little girl ride on his neck and fly around the roof with the little girl, making the little girl extremely happy.

After breakfast, Chu Zheng asked Cheng Lingsu and Shui Sheng about the next arrangements that Cheng Lingsu would go to the official clinic under the City Lord's Mansion to take charge of the seriously ill people, while Shui Sheng would accompany Niu Niu to school for class.

"I'll go and see Niu Niu together, too." Chu Zheng stood up and said.

Shui Sheng opened his eyes wide in surprise, then showed a hint of joy, but he quickly lowered his head and hid the surprise.

Cheng Lingsu was originally a relatively independent girl and would not always stick to the person she liked. Besides, knowing that there is a "teleportation gate", it would not be too difficult to see Brother Chu. Moreover, knowing that Chu Zheng was looking for an opportunity to give Shui Sheng an explanation, he waved to Chu Zheng and went to the clinic.

Chu Zheng and Shui Sheng pulled Niu Niu to the school from left to right.

The guards in the city lord's mansion had known that Chu Shuai was back, and they looked at him curiously and respectfully, regardless of whether they knew him or not.

Even if he didn't know Chu Zheng, he couldn't hide his joy when he saw the quiet girl Wen Wen of Shui Sheng, and the excited "brother" of Niu Niu, how could he not know who this young and handsome man was?

Wherever the three of them went, there were solemn sounds of saluting.

Chu Zheng smiled and nodded in return.

Now compulsory education has begun to be popularized on Chenxi Island, with men's school and women's school, so that all boys and girls of the right age can go to school, and to a certain extent, the remarks of "male and female" that "male and female are seven years old" are blocked.

Niu Niu was too thin before, looking like she was about five years old, but in fact she was over seven years old, so she could attend class. As the little princess in the city lord's mansion, she had no guards or special care, and even had no people know her true identity. Her only privilege was that Shui Sheng could accompany her to the school, and then she could see Shui Sheng during class - this was also decided after Cheng Lingsu and Shui Sheng discussed it. They didn't want Niu Niu to develop the bad habit of being spoiled since she was a child.

Listening to Shui Sheng in her sweet voice, she gently talked about Niu Niu's various interesting things and fun things in life. Walking on the street with pedestrians, if he hadn't found a few plainclothes guards following him several feet away, Chu Zheng would have the illusion of taking his wife and daughter shopping together.

Shui Sheng was a little nervous.

Brother Chu was not enthusiastic or cold to her attitude, and he just nodded slightly to her words, or responded "um", "ah", "this" and "she" to her, which made her feel a little nervous.

Did he get angry with Brother Chu when he did something wrong?

I secretly observed Brother Chu's expression, but couldn't see any clues. I thought it might be because the current situation in Suizhou is not very good, Brother Chu is anxious?

But she doesn't understand these military and national affairs and it's easy to get involved in it...

Although she didn't know why Brother Chu suddenly returned to Chenxi Island, she didn't even know the existence of the "teleportation gate". She could only guess that the situation in Suizhou was not good, and Brother Chu came to the island to mobilize troops to reinforce Suizhou.

She sighed softly. Although she cherished the opportunity to walk on the road with Chu Zheng, she still said understandingly: "Brother Chu, if you have something to do, let's go and do it first. I'll take Niu Niu with me."

Chu Zheng responded without comment, but continued to send Niu Niu to the school.

Shui Sheng was not easy to persuade him anymore, so he could only speed up his pace so that Brother Chu could go back early to work on his important military and national affairs.

When Niu Niu was sent to the school, Shui Sheng was following him, but Chu Zheng suddenly said, "Miss Shui, wait."

Shui Sheng turned around in surprise.

"I have something to tell you. Niu Niu, can you go in by yourself? I'll ask Sister Shui to pick you up after school."

Niu Niu nodded sensibly: "Okay, goodbye brother, goodbye sister Shui." She ran into the school.

Chu Zheng noticed that the old man who was sweeping the floor in the school was a hidden master. When he met his eyes, the old man respectfully saluted him slightly. Chu Zheng knew that it was the master sent by the City Lord's Mansion to secretly protect Niu Niu, so he no longer worried about Niu Niu's safety and said to Shui Sheng: "Let's go."

"Oh." Shui Sheng responded and followed Chu Zheng nervously.

I remember that this was the first time Brother Chu talked to her in private. Is there anything important? Or do I think it is not good for her to stay in the city lord’s mansion like this, so I want her to leave?

It’s not that the girl was thinking randomly, but Chu Zheng was expressionless and didn’t seem to be saying anything good.

The two of them came to a secluded stream. Chu Zheng stopped and turned around and said, "Miss Water, you have been staying in the city lord's mansion like this, and the impact is not very good..."

Shui Sheng was panicked, and the thing he was most afraid of and worried about happened.
