Hot water was poured into the bathtub, and the temperature in the kitchen suddenly rose.

Shen Rong looked at Changsheng who was sitting in the bathtub with his back to her. She wanted to ask him where he had been all these days, how he came to the county town alone, what happened on the road that made him so miserable?

However, Shen Rong looked at the bruises on his body and was afraid that she would not be able to bear it after hearing what he had experienced in the past few days, so she helped him wipe his back silently.

At this moment, the kitchen was steaming hot. Shen Rong put her hands on Changsheng's back. She felt something real now. The days when she was looking for him were like a dream. Shen Rong felt now that she had finally woken up from the dream.

As Shen Rong wiped the wound, she felt distressed. "Where have you been these days? Why are there still wounds on your body?"

Shen Rong waited for a while, but there was no answer from Changsheng. She turned her head and found that Changsheng was staring at her infatuatedly, without even blinking.

It was the first time Shen Rong had seen that look in her eyes, and it made her blush and her heart beat fast.

Shen Rong subconsciously stopped what she was doing, "You...what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Changsheng did not answer Shen Rong's words. He just stared at Shen Rong infatuatedly, his dark eyes filled with her reflection.

But he slowly raised his hand and stopped in front of her eyes, as if he had a treasure in front of him. He was cautious and a little nervous. He hesitated for a while and moved his hand closer. He wanted to touch her but didn't know where to start. In the end, he just carefully and tentatively touched Shen Rong's face with his fingertips.

Shen Rong's heart trembled, and she didn't move. She seemed to have forgotten to breathe, and just stared at Changsheng blankly.

Changsheng, however, acted like a child who had gained some advantage, with the corners of his mouth curved and his round eyes curved into half circles. He slowly moved his fingertips downwards, and when they were about to touch Shen Rong's lips, he shrank back as if frightened.

Shen Rong raised her hand, grabbed Changsheng's hand, and put it on her face. Tears flowed down her cheeks and fell on Changsheng's hand.

Changsheng raised his other hand and gently wiped away the tears from Shen Rong's face.

Neither of them spoke for a while. They looked at each other. I don't know who smiled first, and the depressing atmosphere was swept away.

The two of them smiled at each other for a while, and Shen Rong scooped a handful of water from the basin and splashed it on Changsheng, "Why are you smiling at me? If you don't wash it now, the water will get cold, and I won't boil it for you."

Changsheng immediately took half a gourd and scooped up a ladle of water and poured it over his head. The water splashed everywhere. Shen Rong screamed and jumped away, "Changsheng, you are making trouble again. Look at the water on the ground. I will have to clean it up later."

Changsheng grinned and giggled. He took a towel and wiped his body while saying, "You are my wife. I love you."

Shen Rong felt sweet in her heart when she heard this, but she still gave Changsheng a cold look.

She took a wooden stool and sat beside the bathtub. While washing Changsheng's hair, she said softly, "I dare not trouble you. As long as you don't run outside, I will be thankful."

"I didn't run away." Changsheng retorted: "I went to find you."

"Where are you going to find me?"

Changsheng tilted his head and thought for a while, "Go to Taohua's house and change you back."

Taohua married and moved to the county town. Her husband's family ran a grocery store in the county town. Changsheng knew about it and always kept it in mind.

At that time, he only remembered the angry words Shen Rong said. Seeing that Shen Rong was not there, he went to the county to look for someone without thinking.

Shen Rong sighed helplessly, "You are just a stubborn fool who can't tell good from bad and takes other people's angry words to heart."

Changsheng pursed his lips, a little unhappy, he lowered his head and muttered, "I'm not a fool."

Shen Rong felt sad. She lowered her eyes and was silent for a while before she said faintly, "I like fools."

The room suddenly became very quiet. Shen Rong blushed and absentmindedly helped Changsheng wash his hair.

Changsheng sat in the bathtub and looked at the lotus quietly. After a long time, he turned his back, lowered his head somewhat dejectedly and whispered: "I am a fool."

The handkerchief in Shen Rong's hand loosened, and she stared at Changsheng blankly. Countless images of Changsheng pulling his neck and yelling angrily "I'm not a fool" flashed through her mind.

She felt like her heart was being held in someone's palm and being gently stroked. She couldn't tell whether it was sour, bitter or sweet. She felt that Changsheng's words were more heartwarming than him saying "I love you" a thousand times.

Shen Rong sniffed and subconsciously threw the towel in her hand towards Changsheng's back, "Don't say that, you are not a fool!"

Changsheng raised his head and looked at Shen Rong, with a look of uneasiness on his face. He said anxiously: "You like fools, and I am a fool."

Shen Rong looked at those sincere eyes and felt her heart burning. "You are not a fool, and you are not allowed to say you are a fool in the future!"

Changsheng was anxious to prove that he was the man his wife liked. He was about to say that he was a fool, but Shen Rong covered his mouth, stopping him from saying anything.

"Even if you're a fool, I'd still like you. Even if you're not a fool, I'd still like you." Shen Rong blushed and spoke out her true feelings.

Changsheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes curved. He let Shen Rong cover his mouth with her hand and replied with a long tone: "Oh..."

The hot air from his mouth rushed into Shen Rong's palm, making it itchy. Shen Rong immediately let go of Changsheng's mouth, revealing Changsheng's smiling face.

There was a bit of satisfaction, a bit of pride, and a bit of embarrassment in that smile.

He lowered his head and said to himself firmly: "I am not a fool, not a fool."

It seemed as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was talking to Shen Rong.

Shen Rong felt sad and subconsciously hugged Changsheng's broad back. "From now on, I will stay with you. You are not allowed to run out without saying a word like you did this time. If there is anything, let's discuss it together, okay?"

Changsheng hugged Shen Rong's arms, "Okay, I won't leave. Changsheng and Sanniang will be together forever. Don't play tricks."

Changsheng took a bath for a long time and changed the water once in the middle.

By the time he got dressed and dried his hair, it was already late at night.

Shen Rong thought that Changsheng must not have slept well outside these days, so she urged him to go back to the house and sleep early, and not let him help clean the kitchen. But Changsheng was unwilling to leave her side, as if he was afraid that Shen Rong would run away, and he had to follow her and guard her.

Seeing that she couldn't drive him away, Shen Rong didn't force him.

She knew that Changsheng was feeling uneasy at the moment, so she had to quickly clean up the kitchen and went back to the house with Changsheng carrying the oil lamp.

Shen Rong was also very tired during this period. As soon as she entered the room, she lay down on the bed. After a while, she became a little drowsy.

Just as she was about to meet Zhou Gong, Changsheng pushed her. Shen Rong opened her eyes and saw a wooden box in front of her that was so familiar to her.

Looking at the person next to her, she saw Changsheng handing the box to her with a happy look on his face, as if offering a treasure, "Here you go, all of it."
