Jiang Zhou kissed him seriously.

In fact, he had wanted to do this when he first came back, but he didn’t dare to do it for fear of frightening Wen Yan. Now, Wen Yan seemed to be able to accept it a little, and the atmosphere was good enough just now.

He was emotionally moved and couldn’t hold back.

Wen Yan leaned against the wall softly, feeling his lips being sucked repeatedly, and the hot breath spraying on his face. His whole body was dizzy from being kissed, and his mind went blank.

Only the warmth coming from Jiang Zhou’s chest made him feel grounded.

When Jiang Zhou left his lips, Wen Yan felt that his whole mouth was numb.

He wanted to speak, but Jiang Zhou kissed him again, not as strongly as before, just a very light peck, which reminded him of the first time they kissed.

At that time, Jiang Zhou had just come to his house to propose marriage. Father Wen and Mother Wen liked Jiang Zhou’s honesty and integrity, and they had watched Jiang Zhou grow up. They had nothing to worry about, so they didn’t object. They just kept Wen Yan at home, not letting him go out.

The two young people, who had just made an appointment and confirmed their relationship, were excited. But Father Wen and Mother Wen refused to let them see each other. It was fine for the first few days, but as time went by, Jiang Zhou couldn’t stand it any longer and took the boat again to Banshan Village and squatted outside the wall of Wen Yan’s house to talk to Wen Yan.

Then one day, Jiang Zhou made trouble and said that there was a vicious dog watching him outside, fearing that it would bite him. Wen Yan became anxious, moved the ladder, and climbed out of the wall, falling right into Jiang Zhou’s arms.

It turned out that Jiang Zhou just wanted to tease him. Who would have thought that Wen Yan, who had always been timid, would dare to climb out of the wall?

But with the warm soft body in his arms, even Wen Yan’s angry expression at being deceived became extra cute. Jiang Zhou couldn’t hold it back and kissed Wen Yan gently, and they were lost in the moment at the first touch.

The kiss was obviously light, but it made both of them blush.

.

Just like this moment, Wen Yan lowered his eyes, but the corners of his eyes were red from being kissed. Because he was not as tall as Jiang Zhou, he tried his best to stand on tiptoes and be held in his arms.

Jiang Zhou liked him so much that he kissed the corners of his eyes. “I like my wife the most.”

He turned over the memories of the time travelers and was amazed and envious of their bold and unrestrained confessions in that era. In such a warm moment, sometimes, he always feels that he needs to express the hot feelings in his heart to Wen Yan and let him know that the person he likes most was him.

Wen Yan didn’t say anything. He just moved himself closer to Jiang Zhou and buried himself in his arms, leaving only his small, red ears exposed.

The two hugged each other quietly for a while.

When Wen Yan felt that this was getting too long, he used some strength to ask Jiang Zhou to let go of him.

“Isn’t there something else to do? Let’s go.”

Jiang Zhou reluctantly let go of him and rubbed his head. “Okay.”

.

So, Jiang Zhou took him to buy the things he had originally thought of: some spices, seasonings for daily use, and the other vegetables he needed to buy.

However, when they finally done and bought a lot of things, Wen Yan asked, “Why did you buy all these messy things?”

Jiang Zhou didn’t give in, “I’m just going to eat like I told you; you’ll wait a moment and just watch.”

He took two steps and then stopped, “Are you hungry?”

Wen Yan hesitated for a moment and nodded, “A little.”

Jiang Zhou took out a packet from his arms. The candied fruit was handed to him. It was the wild apple preserve that he had made himself.

This was the time when wild apples were being harvested. He went to the mountain to pick mushrooms that day and happened to see the fruits on the trees. They were bright red, so he picked two handfuls back.

He liked the dried wild apple fruit, which was a bit sour, but Wen Yan didn’t like it, so he soaked it in sugar and honey and made it into candied fruit.

The wild apples retained their appearance as when they were first picked. They were only coated with a layer of transparent syrup and were still bright red. Just looking at them would greatly increase your appetite.

Jiang Zhou saw him happily eating the bag of wild apples and reminded him.

“This is sweeter than others, be careful of tooth decay. Just eat two. I’ll make this for you later to eat more.”

They wandered around, bought things, and had them all sent to uncle Yu’s boat.

When passing by the dark alley, Jiang Zhou asked Wen Yan to wait outside before he got into the alley.

He was like a fish in water in this dark alley and soon came across a vendor, “Boss, give me two snakehead fish and two crucian carp.”

The vendor was a little surprised when he saw him, “I haven’t seen you for a long time. You can handle the fish by yourself today. Should I handle it?”

“You go ahead and make it clean.”

The vendor took out a black fish from the fish tank, slammed it on the ground twice, and began to scratch the fish scales, “Speaking of which, it’s a rare trip for you to buy fish, but you didn’t shave the fish scales yourself?”

Jiang Zhou spread his hands and said, “My wife is outside. He feels uncomfortable when he smells the fishy smell. If I go out with my hands full of the fishy smell, he will be afraid. He will stand about eight feet away from me.”

As for the wife he finally got back, he hasn’t hugged him enough yet, so how could he lose time with him because of a trivial matter?

“There is still a fish scale on the gills, eh, eh, that’s right, right there, okay, rinse it, um… put on two layers, the smell will be lighter.”

After picking up the bag containing the fish, he turned around, only then did he realize that Wen Yan was standing behind him.

The fish alley was filled with a fishy smell, and Wen Yan felt uncomfortable smelling it, so his face was a little pale, and his tightly pursed lips almost made Jiang Zhou think that he was sick.

Jiang Zhou held the hand holding the fish farther away and kept Wen Yan back with his free hand, a bit of reproach in his tone, “You’ve never been used to the smell of fish, so why did you come here with me?”

Wen Yan said nothing, lowering his head, lost in thought, and kept glancing at Jiang Zhou’s hand holding the fish out of the corner of his eye.

Jiang Zhou didn’t get a response for a long time. He turned his head and saw Wen Yan’s tangled eyes. He couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Wen Yan’s heart felt astringent and swollen. In fact, he had missed many details in the past. If not for today, when he followed Jiang Zhou on a whim, he wouldn’t have known that every fish he received was processed by Jiang Zhou himself. No wonder the fish he brought back were always cleaner than those he bought himself.

He was able to completely confirm that the Jiang Zhou in front of him was the Jiang Zhou he was most familiar with.

.

.

Wen Yan hadn’t been to the place where Jiang Zhou lived for a long time. Since he returned, he had only stood outside the yard to take a look. He also used to pick out things when Jiang Zhou was not at home, coming and going in a hurry. He never looked closely.

Perhaps it was due to the change of his inner feelings. In the past year when he came here, he felt that this place was not popular at all and lifeless.

But when he came back this time, he felt that this place was full of life. The corn cobs hanging under the eaves were bigger and cuter than the ones elsewhere.

Jiang Zhou unloaded the things from the boat and borrowed Uncle Zhang’s bullock cart to push them back. In the cold weather, he was so hot that he was sweating. When he got all the things back, he shouted out of habit, “Ah Yan, give me a bowl of water.”

Wen Yan responded reflexively and turned around to pour the water. It took him a moment to react.

The two of them were stunned.
