The next morning, when Liu Zhizhong woke up, he found Zhang Yuxing sleeping sweetly in his arms, looking so beautiful.

This little look made him really want to kiss her.

But at this moment, he had to pee urgently, and his whole body was stiff.

He had to quietly get up and made a trip to the bathroom.

By the time he came back, it was already past eight in the morning, so he let Zhang Yuxing sleep a bit longer while he went out to take care of some business.

The thunderstorm had stopped at some unknown time. The town of Mulang by the river in the mountains, with its Highland charm, was unspeakably beautiful.

The clear, emerald Ailian River flowed gently.

The mountains on both sides revealed patches of freshly cleaned greenery, making even the sun seem more tender.

The sky was clear blue, with tranquil white clouds. On the valley grassland, herds of cattle and sheep from the shepherds wandered around.

Those who camped by the river overnight had suffered from the thunderstorm, but most were still doing well!

Mulang Town was once again bustling, filled with the breath of life of the mortal world, with quite a lot of vehicles coming and going.

Liu Zhizhong was full of joy, walking in this small Highland town, feeling absolutely fantastic.

Recalling the scenes from last night, ah, they were damn thrilling.

He really wanted to call Zhang Hongyang and say, "I had a romantic time with your little aunt last night. I kissed her, touched the Old Chu Girl, and she touched me too, haha!"

The feeling of triumph over the Zhang family and over Zhang Hongyang made him ecstatic!

Liu Zhizhong found a place to have breakfast, and he also packed some to bring back to Zhang Yuxing.

As for Zhang Yuxing, when she woke up, there was no one beside her.

She rolled over, saw her clothes were in place, and felt relieved.

But she immediately recalled the scenes from the previous night, and her face turned red with embarrassment and collapse.

That damn Liu Zhizhong... That little bastard got lucky!

Some scenes were crazily playing in her head, making her very uncomfortable, feeling almost wet.

She quickly tried not to think about those things and instead wondered where the scoundrel had gone.

But upon looking around, oh, Liu Zhizhong had moved her suitcase into the room, and even placed her handbag on top of it.

This dog, he was actually somewhat thoughtful!

Zhang Yuxing immediately grabbed some tissues, both dry and wet ones, and rushed into the bathroom to clean up properly.

After being tossed around so much last night, she had left behind quite a few traces, which made her feel bitter, shy, and awkward... her face flushed and her heart racing.

When she was almost done, she washed her face and brushed her teeth. Just as she was about to call Liu Zhizhong to ask where he had gone, he came back.

He brought back fragrant millet porridge, the characteristic grilled lamb buns from Mulang Town, as well as special buckwheat cold noodles and grilled cakes.

The breakfast had returned, wafting a delicious aroma that made Zhang Yuxing swallow her saliva.

Liu Zhizhong smiled and said, "Secretary Zhang, you're awake? Feeling alright?"

"Not good!" Zhang Yuxing's face turned red as she sat down at the edge of the bed.

Liu Zhizhong nodded. "Anyway, it's all in the past. Come on, you must be hungry after a whole night of tossing and turning. Have some breakfast, we still have a road to catch!"

After speaking, he placed the breakfast on a small table by the bed and opened it one by one.

Zhang Yuxing really was hungry, and she didn't care about anything else and started to eat.

Liu Zhizhong, on the other hand, drew back the curtains, opened the window, and let the fresh air in.

He stood by the window, smoking, looking at the rolling mountains and the beautiful valley outside, enjoying the silence, not saying a word.

Zhang Yuxing was a bit puzzled. When she was almost done eating, she said, "What's with you? Gone mute? Aren't you usually quite talkative?"

Liu Zhizhong suddenly turned around, his handsome face under the sunlight through the window, shining with an incredibly gentle glow.

Seeing such a man, Zhang Yuxing felt an inexplicable stir in her heart.

This dog, his physique is really strong, really good!

That look, truly handsome!

The whole person, really has charisma, damn it!

Liu Zhizhong, with a look of bewilderment, said, "Secretary Zhang, what should I say? What can I say? What do you expect me to say?"

"You…" Zhang Yuxing was suddenly at a loss for words, she glared at him and gathered her thoughts, "You bastard, you took all the advantages last night, aren't you going to say something?"

Liu Zhizhong shook his head, "Secretary Zhang, I'm not young either, and my memory has always been bad. What happened last night?"

"You…" Zhang Yuxing was so angry that her heart trembled, her expression cold as a knife, staring at Liu Zhizhong, about to explode.

This dog, playing dumb, huh?

But Liu Zhizhong continued, "Last night, I slept on the floor all night, really don't know what to say!"

"You…"

"Oh? Secretary Zhang, what exactly happened last night? I really can't remember. Well, that's the one good thing about me, this honest person; I can't remember anything, hehe…"

Zhang Yuxing was stupefied upon hearing this, felt some anger but also quickly caught on.

She said coldly, "You better not remember anything, and don't go blabbering around with your loose lips. Otherwise, I, Zhang Yuxing, am not so easy to bully. But you took advantage of me, you must give me an explanation!"
