"I... " Sheng Fei really found it difficult to say, and after struggling with her eyes closed for a long time, she still couldn't bring herself to speak.

"I can't say!" Sheng Fei gave up, opened her eyes, only to find Wang Zheng silently flipping through several photo albums on the table as if he hadn’t noticed her awkwardness at all.

Sheng Fei covered her cheeks and sat beside Wang Zheng. She saw his gaze lingered on a particular photograph without saying anything in response.

The somewhat yellowed photo showed a fairly young man dressed in camouflage, with a rugged face displaying a radiant smile. His skin was dark but his teeth were white; he was holding a gun, indicating that his smile came from the heart.

"This is my dad when he was young." Looking at her father's younger self, Sheng Fei’s eyes revealed a tender emotion: "He took this photo during his military service and sent it to my mom. At that time, my dad was quite handsome."

When Wang Zheng saw an image of Old Sheng again, he smiled faintly, albeit rather bitterly.

"Your dad really was a good-looking guy when he was young." said Wang Zheng.

"But now he’s passed away," Sheng Fei's eyes started to redden: "They say it happened during an exercise."

Wang Zheng lifted his head, gazing out the window at the moonlight and sighed deeply; scenes of war and smoke filled his mind.

"Sheng Fei, if you have time, I can take you to a place to see." Wang Zheng said seemingly abruptly.

"Okay. But Wang Zheng, can we talk properly" Sheng Fei bit her lip, thought for a moment and then said: "I have many questions in my mind, and only you can answer them."

"Then may I stay tonight" asked Wang Zheng with a half-smile.

“Sure,” Sheng Fei also smiled: “This way, I don’t need to answer your question.”

"Wang Zheng, I know you're not just a simple bodyguard. Putting aside your endless tricks and profound martial arts skills, have you ever seen a bodyguard who can afford to wear an entire top-tier luxury brand Emarin summer collection" Sheng Fei asked.

"That's true. I don't usually pay much attention to my appearance anyway; I never imagined that you were professionally trained in fashion design. But these clothes were a gift from a friend, and if I had known how expensive they were, I wouldn’t have bought them. Spending so much money on such a small amount of fabric is just wasteful," he replied.

Sheng Fei laughed: "And my mother's floral blouse was also sent by you, right"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng abruptly raised his head to look at Sheng Fei, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions.

Sheng Fei didn’t speak either but simply smiled and met his gaze.

After a full minute of silence, Wang Zheng blinked his slightly sore eyes: "Yes, it was me. I didn't expect you to be so thorough."

"It's not that I’m thorough; have you ever seen anyone send an Emarin collection to a rural grandma"

"Well, they were gifts from wealthy friends of mine. The fabric quality was good even though it might seem unsophisticated for the city. It suited your mother perfectly," Wang Zheng scratched his head as he explained.

"The money too Was that sent by you" Sheng Fei's eyes burned with questions: "Why What’s the reason behind this"

With his finger, Wang Zheng traced over an old photograph of Sheng’s father and smiled without answering. Then he stood up to gaze at the bright moonlight again.

"I’ve asked my mother about it; she said that she started receiving these payments four years ago, after your father passed away," Sheng Fei spoke softly: “Wang Zheng, I’m not stupid; from the way you carved the duck meat at Quanjude, I picked up on some clues. Now with this Emarin collection and everything else, even if I were dumb, I’d have guessed there’s a connection between you and my father."

"Of course, along with your greeting as sister-in-law and the cup of locust flower tea, I could tell that something was different about you at the time. You were forcefully suppressing your emotions."

"It seems my disguise failed," Wang Zheng laughed while looking out the window: “I once said that there would be a day when I’d explain everything to you.”

"Then tell me now." Sheng Fei’s voice was calm, but her heart was turbulent like waves.

She believed that Wang Zheng was not lying, and he was about to reveal the truth, which made Sheng Fei's heart couldn't help but become excited.

"Alright, in exchange, tell me your measurements." Wang Zheng suddenly turned around and said with a smile.

"36D," Sheng Fei answered without hesitation, not even blushing because she was too eager to know anything related to her father.

However, the next sentence from Wang Zheng made Sheng Fei's pretty face instantly turn red up to her neck.

"How can they be so big You don't seem that way on the surface," said Wang Zheng, looking at her carefully and deliberately.

"Let's get down to business." Sheng Fei had a stern expression; she wished she could strangle Wang Zheng for his inappropriate remarks.

"Let me think for a moment," Wang Zheng turned around again. The moonlight filtering through the window cast a tranquil glow on his face.

There was an entire five minutes of silence before Wang Zheng started narrating:

"Old Sheng and I were comrades-in-arms; he is one of the best special forces soldiers in the Republic of Huaxia, and we were part of the nation’s top-tier special force unit. To be honest, Old Sheng may not be young anymore, but there are only three people in our team who are slightly better than him. Moreover, when it comes to combat experience and on-the-spot adaptability, no one can compare to him."

Sheng Fei listened quietly; her eyes shone like a pool of spring water under the moonlight.

"He died in battle, not during any training accident," Wang Zheng continued, with a look of deep sorrow in his eyes.

The fierce flames of war seemed to rise again in Wang Zheng's gaze: "On the land of our republic and every corner of this earth, there are battles taking place each day. Blood is shed and sacrifices made daily. Old Sheng sacrificed himself saving me; without him, I wouldn't be here."

"You said you would take me somewhere when you had time. Where is it" Sheng Fei's eyes were a little red but she raised her head with a very beautiful and strong smile.

The battlefield.

…………

The clock had already struck eleven, and the entire small building was dark. People in the countryside went to bed early. Shangguan Shishi quietly opened the door a crack but didn’t see any signs of activity; Wang Zheng seemed not to have any intention of coming out.

She had been waiting for Wang Zheng for almost two hours and still hadn’t seen Sheng Fei’s room open, which made Shangguan Shishi start to think about other possibilities in her heart.

"Can't be! Could they really have slept together That's too crazy!" Shangguan Shishi suppressed the gossipy thoughts churning inside her and tiptoed to quietly approach Sheng Fei’s room door. She leaned against the door with her body and pressed her ear to the crack, wanting to eavesdrop on what was happening inside.

Just as Shangguan Shishi was straining to listen carefully, unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened, causing Shangguan Shishi to lose her balance and tumble forward!

"Ouch!" The room was still lit. When she looked up, Shangguan Shishi found herself falling into Wang Zheng’s embrace! He was looking at her with a strange smile.

“Not bad, it seems I’ve been underestimating you all along.” Wang Zheng said with a smug grin.

"What do you mean by 'underestimating me'" Shangguan Shishi felt awkward after being caught while trying to eavesdrop and didn’t understand the meaning behind Wang Zheng’s words. They were still in an extremely ambiguous position.

“Not as small as I thought.” Wang Zheng said, feeling the warmth from his palms: “Though not up to par with Sheng Fei or Han Xingye, it's still pretty good.”

"Ah! You pervert!" Shangguan Shishi felt a change in her chest and looked down to find that Wang Zheng was supporting some part of her chest with both hands, his eyes staring straight ahead.

“Can’t blame me, you were the one who tried to take advantage and ended up falling into my arms,” said Wang Zheng as he let go of Shangguan Shishi with a grin. "If it weren't for me, I fear that you would have fallen flat on your face."

“Wang Zheng, you pervert!”

A scream came from Sheng Fei's room.y extraordinary."The two chatted aimlessly for a few minutes before Wang Zheng finished cooking the food and placed it on the table, its fragrance filling the air.Seeing Wang Zheng in an apron, Zhang...
