Tang Lin, I like you!

  Yu Shengjun and Fu Yushu were rushed to the point of being silly, they quickly got up, threw down the Go chess and ran out of the backyard in a hurry. After they left, Tang Lin couldn't help but burst into laughter!

  It feels pretty good to give orders!

  Next, Tang Lin stood with her hands around her chest beside the horse cart, staring at Yu Sheng Jun and Fu Yu Shu as they moved all the items from the horse cart into Old Man Liu's house!

  The two of them went back and forth more than a dozen times before finally finishing moving everything, and in the end they were both so exhausted that they stood in the house with their backs arched, legs trembling, and waist bent, panting.

  Liu Laobo brewed a pot of tea and then poured three cups, placing them on the dinner table. He reminded the three people: "It's still hot, drink it later!"

  Tang Lin was so thirsty that she couldn't wait for the tea to cool down, and there was no boiled water available. So she went to the backyard, scooped a ladle of water from the water tank, brought it back, and soaked the cup of tea in it.

  After finishing a series of things to lower the temperature of the tea water, Tang Lin looked at the two people standing in front of her and asked, "When did you arrive?"

  The Holy Lord said: "We just played two rounds of chess and you're here!"

  "Oh." Tang Lin casually responded, after a while, she picked up the tea that had been soaked in cold water and drank a few mouthfuls before reluctantly putting down the teacup. She turned around to help Liu Laobo and others sort out the things they bought and store them in the house.

  "Grandpa! Does this go in the cabinet?"

  "Grandpa! What about this one?"

  "Grandpa..."

  The room kept echoing with Tang Lin's voice, which sounded not only a bit mischievous but also extremely cute to Yu Shengjun. He shook his head and smiled helplessly.

  After a while, Yu Shengjun and Fu Yushu carried their tea cups into the backyard, continuing their chess game.

  Tang Lin helped Liu Laobo clean up the things, then walked into the backyard, took the three apples in his hand to wash them clean, and after washing, walked to the table edge and sat down. One person gave an apple to another, "Hey, take one each!"

  "Thank you, sir!" said Fu Yu, smiling elegantly as he took the apple.

  When Yu Shengjun took it, he deliberately looked deeply at Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin turned away, not letting him look at her, and started gnawing on her own apple. Humph, who made him disappear for two or three days, making her miss him so much!

  The Holy Lord smiled slightly, took an apple and took a bite, continuing to play chess with Fu Yushu.

  Slowly, Tang Lin turned her head and looked at the Go board on the table. After a long time, she finally realized that Yu Shengjun had taken the upper hand!

  "Die Wu said you went to rescue Tu Bo uncle and his family of three yesterday, nothing happened, right?" Yu Sheng Jun asked Tang Lin while playing chess, seemingly concerned yet not quite concerned.

  Tang Lin finished chewing an apple before responding indifferently: "Nothing's going on, what could I possibly have going on?"

  They were talking about the old bald donkey, and Fu Yushu's originally calm eyes deepened a few points. Because he had been staring at the chessboard all along, Yu Shengjun and the others did not catch the content in his eyes.

  It's been two or three days since I last saw the Holy Lord, and Tang Lin is very worried about him. Moreover, she really wants to see him all the time, but at this moment, he is right beside her, yet she doesn't have the courage to take a deep look at him.

  "Have you been procuring things for the wine house these past two days?" Tang Lin asked Yu Sheng Jun in a tone as if chatting about trivial matters, but actually she was concerned about what he had been up to these few days and why he hadn't returned to the inn for two nights, not knowing how much she missed him.

  "I... I was buying things for the wine house, some of the things that needed to be bought were quite far away, so it took a long time!" Yu Sheng Jun made an excuse to brush off Tang Lin, but he felt very pained by doing so. He had been busy handling state affairs in the palace for the past two days and didn't have time to leave. If he told her the truth, she would definitely be scared, so he could only lie.

  "Oh, so that's how it is." Tang Lin thought it was true and felt heartache for Yu Shengjun running away from home, but on the surface, she didn't reveal a single hint.

  Fu Yushu furrowed his brow, feeling that the conversation between these two people was somewhat strange. It seemed as if there was an inexplicable relationship between Yu Shengjun and Tang Lin, but what was it? Or had he misfelt?

  Then, Yu Sheng Jun and Fu Yu Shu played chess for a long time without being able to determine the winner or loser. Until Liu Laobo brought in dishes and interrupted them, "You three will all have lunch at Grandpa's house today!"

  "No problem, Grandpa!"

  Yu Shengjun and Fu Yushu did not respond, but instead looked at Old Man Liu for a moment before continuing their chess game.

  Liu Laobo said again: "Right, Little Jun and Little Shu," so he gave Yu Shengjun and Fu Yushu nicknames. "Li Dama seems to have returned, you go take a look!"

  "Is that so?" said the Holy Emperor, putting down the chess piece that was about to checkmate Fu Yu's king, and stood up to head outside, "Then I'll go take a look!"

  Fu Yushu stood up and followed immediately, "Grandpa, I'll go take a look too!"

  "Hey, you guys are all leaving? What am I supposed to do?" Tang Lin said somewhat anxiously. After hesitating for a moment, she really wanted to follow Yu Sheng Jun and the others, so she hastily said to Old Man Liu, "Grandpa, I'm going out to play, don't worry, the three of us will come back for lunch!"

  Before leaving, Tang Lin glanced at the chessboard and walked out of the backyard with a hint of a pleased smile.

  If she hadn't misjudged, one more move and the opponent would have been checkmated. This Saintly Emperor not only had exceptional martial arts skills but also incredible purchasing power, this was going to be a thrilling game!

  What else can he do? Can he summon the wind and rain?

  ——

  In the rice paddy.

  Li Daigne held one end of the shoulder pole against her neck, smiling as she looked at the three people squatting in front of her vegetable garden. "Take your time pulling them out, we have plenty of vegetables at home, you can't finish them all!"

  Tang Lin was still eating an apple, chewing a mouthful and pulling out a vegetable sprout. She crouched in the center of the vegetable field, while Yu Sheng Jun and Fu Yu Shu crouched on either side. Looking at these two handsome men working for her, she suddenly felt an indescribable subtle feeling.

  "Go take a rest, we'll tell you after we're done!" Tang Lin said to Li Danna.

  Li Danniang put down her carrying pole, "Alright then, I'll head back home and have a cup of tea first. You all take your time!" After saying that, under Tang Lin's watchful eyes, she headed in the direction of her home.

  As soon as Li Dama left, Tang Lin sat down on the ground with a thud, not caring about getting her clothes dirty. She looked up at the midday sun and squinted due to the glare. She thought of something and turned her head to look at the two men, asking: "Comrades, what day is today? Is it close to the first day of next month?"

  "There should be eight days left!" Yu Shengjun and Fu Yushu replied in unison, and after answering, the two of them also tacitly looked at each other.

  Tang Lin's expression became dazed as he muttered to himself, "Only eight days are left... Time really flies!"

  The holy lord moved over two steps, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Tang Lin's face, "Tang Lin?"

  Tang Lin suddenly came back to himself, looking at his pitch-black eyes with some tension, "Is, is there something?"

  Does he need to be so nervous and scared? Yu Sheng Jun was a little tearful, "I see you muttering to yourself, is everything okay?"

  "Chop!" Tang Lin said with a proud face, "What can I have? Hurry up, you two must get enough dishes for me today, but not too many. If there are too many, you will pay extra money, and if there are too few, you will use your own money to buy more!"

  "Miser," the Holy Lord muttered under his breath, afraid that Tang Lin would hear him, so he kept his voice very low. After speaking, he obediently went back to pull out vegetables.

  Fu Yushu leaned over and whispered with a sly smile: "If you have the guts, speak louder, the person in charge can't even hear!"

  His Majesty's face changed, and he glared at Fu Yushu, "Don't you see who I am? How dare I speak loudly? In front of the person in charge, who else dares to be arrogant?"

  "I dare!" Fu Yushu's voice rose a bit, full of confidence.

  Although spoken in a low voice, Tang Lin heard it and her face turned cold. She looked at Fu Yushu with a chilly gaze and asked: "Fu Tianze, what are you muttering about? Are you not willing to do this anymore? If you don't want to, just say so!"

  Originally full of confidence, but as soon as he saw Tang Lin's cold face, Fu Yushu immediately softened and said, "N-nothing, leader you heard wrong!" Then, he turned his head and obediently pulled out his dish, only to be met with mocking gazes and sly smiles from Yu Shengjun.

  Thanks to the reform of the wine house, the required ingredients were halved. Not long after, under the efforts of Yu Shengjun and Fu Yushu, they finally finished pulling out all the vegetables they needed.

  The holy lord on-site taught Fu Yushu how to pick fresh vegetables, when to deliver the vegetables to the restaurant, what price of dishes to buy, and how much money to pay...

  Fu Yushu listened all the way, looking very serious on the surface, but in his heart, he had already been protesting, and didn't expect being a purchasing agent to be so hard.

  What he found strange was that the Holy Lord, who didn't look like an ordinary person, had learned a skillful procurement technique. Moreover, it was fully mastered in just twenty days.

  Li Daigne went down to the vegetable field to help Yu Shengjun and others pick vegetables over to the truck, but Fu Yushu took the initiative to take on this task. "Daigne, I'll do it!"

  Taking advantage of the two leaving the vegetable field, Yu Sheng Jun suddenly grabbed Tang Lin's hand. Tang Lin was about to follow Li Da Niang and the others' footsteps, but she didn't expect Yu Sheng Jun to suddenly grab her hand. Her heart instantly racing, she stuttered: "Y-you, what are you doing?"

  "Come with me!" The Holy Lord said with a smile on his face, and then he tightly grasped Tang Lin's small hand and pulled her towards the river not far away at a running speed.

  All that can be seen is a lush green vegetable field, with two figures fluttering about like butterflies, the scene full of poetic meaning.

  The chess piece was lost. Ran out a long way before reaching the riverbank.

  The noble gentleman pulled Tang Lin to the small sandy beach by the river, and because the reeds by the river were very tall, the villagers who were working in the nearby fields did not see that there were two people on the small sandy beach by the river.

  After standing firmly on the beach, Yu Shengjun let go of Tang Lin's hand and gently grasped her shoulders, looking at her with deep affection. He took a deep breath and then softly spoke out the words he had been wanting to say from his heart, "Tang Lin, I like you!"

  Tang Lin was shocked with her mouth slightly agape, her heartbeat had lost its rhythm, she was so excited and flustered that she couldn't utter a single word!

  His eyes misted over, and then he continued, his voice husky with emotion, but the magnetic tone that was so captivating and alluring remained unchanged. Perhaps it was because he was too afraid of being rejected by Tang Lin. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you, protecting you, caring for you, loving you, worrying about you... As long as you agree, I'll be devoted to you without any regrets!"
