Who is taking advantage of whom in the end?

  Zhen Ming bitterly turned around and looked at her, stopped in his tracks, and squatted down.

  She looked at him with a puzzled expression.

  "Come on, I'll carry you, at this speed when can we get back?"

  Zhang hesitated upon hearing this, and Zhen Ming urged impatiently, "You haven't eaten anything for two days, have you? We still have over ten kilometers to go before we reach Sun Langzhong's place. I don't want to carry a fainting you back, so don't blame me if I abandon you by the roadside later. One good deed gone wrong is enough for me to suffer."

  Zhang walked up to him and leaned against his back, gently wrapping her arms around his neck.

  She strained backward, arching her body as much as possible so that her own body wouldn't press down on his back.

  But her stiff posture made it even harder for Zhen Ming to move forward, as if she had a wooden carving on her back.

  "Are you afraid of being taken advantage of by me? You shouldn't have come up here in the first place. Now it's too late to avoid suspicion, isn't it? If you're disgusted by my body and don't want any physical contact with me, I can leave you here for those wolves to take back. But I'm not the one who's disgusted by your body, yet you're acting like you are. This is truly absurd!"

  Saying so, he made a gesture as if to throw her off his back.

  Zhang was so frightened that he hastily bowed his head, tightly attached to his back, hugged his neck, and his urgent breath was all on his ears, making him unbearable and shrunk his head.

  Her full breasts were pressed against his back, heaving with her rapid breathing, which only accentuated their softness and elasticity.

  Zhen Ming bitterly said: "Relax a bit, I still need to catch my breath."

  ……

  On the dinner table, there were already over a dozen dishes of all kinds, giving off a delicious aroma.

  It can be seen that in order to welcome the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon has put in a lot of effort.

  Zhang had changed into a neat and clean outfit, washed her face, and regained her delicate appearance. She sat up straight at the table, occasionally glancing at the food on it. Looking at her secretly swallowing saliva, she was obviously starving.

  Xing'er sat beside her, intimately holding her hand and whispering something in her ear. Zhang Shi appeared somewhat awkward, responding to Xing'er sentence by sentence.

  "Brother Zhen really carried you back from Mangshan all by himself? That's over ten miles!"

  Zhang nodded with a red face.

  Xing'er sighed: "I didn't expect him to be so thin, yet he has so much strength, it's really not visible at all."

  Zhen Ming was just about to lift the door curtain and walk in from outside when he heard this and sighed, "I'm being forced out of here. My waist is almost broken. If there's another thing like this next time, I'd rather die than do it."

  Behind him followed Fat Dragon, who had not been seen for ten days. At this time, Fat Dragon had lost a lot of weight and his figure was much more robust. His skin had tanned to a dark bronze color, and he actually looked quite rugged and majestic.

  At this time, Moon brought up the last dish of stir-fried vegetables and saw Zhen Ming coming in. She walked elegantly to his front, knelt down on the ground, and gave him a gentle bow.

  Zhen Ming hastily helped her up: "Mei Mei, what are you doing? If you continue like this, I'll turn around and leave!"

  The moon heard this and her eyes turned red at once.

  Fei Long hastily came to her defense, saying: "Yue Er, don't be too polite to Zhen Ge either. He's treating you like a little sister and that's why he's going all out to think of ways for you. Zhen Ge said that as long as you persist in getting an injection of antibiotics every now and then, and combine it with some exercise, your illness will get better soon."

  Zhenming was shocked and turned his head to look at Feilong, then turned his head again to look at Yuèr, and slapped a palm on Feilong's belly, laughing: "Looks like the pond digging is quite hardworking."

  Fei Long scratched his head while secretly glancing at Yue Er, whose face was flushed with embarrassment. A silly smile spread across his face: "It's almost dug."

  The moon's face turned red as she hastily turned around and walked over to sit down beside the table.

  Among the people present, only Zhang was a bystander who looked at these people with a puzzled face, fortunately, Xing'er whispered a few words in her ear, and she finally showed an enlightened expression.

  Sun Langzhong smiled and said, "Come on, everyone sit down and eat. It's rare for us to be together like this today, let's have some wine. Yue'er, make an exception today and toast your brother-in-law and Zhang Niang."

  Yue'er raised her cup, in the deep and meaningful gaze of Zhen's bitter fate, without drinking, her face turned red first. "Yue'er toasts to Brother Zhen, thank you for saving my life."

  Covering his face with his sleeve, he drained the cup in one gulp.

  "Don't do stupid things again. Although the current conditions are limited and there is not enough medicine to cure your illness, I promise you that there will be a way."

  "The moon knows."

  Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and followed her with a drink.

  The moon poured another cup for Zhang Shi, thanking her for her help. Zhang Shi declined, but under the urging of Xing Er, she drank along with them. As soon as the wine went down her throat, her face became as red and radiant as a sunrise, with a hint of shyness and awkwardness. Even Sun Lang, who was advanced in years, couldn't help but be slightly dazed by her appearance.

  Fei Long secretly poked Zhen Mingku with his hand, suppressing his voice, and asked with a strange smile: "Zhen brother, what's going on? You haven't come for ten days, it seems like many things have happened."

  "I'll tell you in detail later, things aren't what you think they are, don't jump to conclusions." Zhen Ming stopped Fei Long from continuing to ask questions that made Zhang Shi uncomfortable, and turned to Sun Langzhong saying: "By the way, Sun Lao, there's something I'd like to ask for your help with."

  Sun Langzhong looked curious, he really couldn't think of what else he could help with, given his miserable luck.

  "I'd like to have Zhang's wife stay with you for a while, is that convenient or not?"

  Before Sun Lang could speak, Xing Er grabbed Zhang Shi's hand and exclaimed excitedly: "Sister Zhang, are you coming to live with us?"

  "Excuse me." Zhang nodded slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed. Xing'er's enthusiasm had relaxed her quite a bit from her originally stiff demeanor.

  Sun Langzhong smiled and said, "It's not a bother at all, it's just a matter of adding a few more chopsticks. You can stay as long as you want, but I only have limited rooms here, so I'm afraid Zhang Niang will have to share a room with Xing'er."

  Zhang stood up and bowed to Sun Lang, saying: "To have a place to live, this humble woman is already grateful beyond words."

  "Ha ha, very well then! You can stay here with me as long as you like!"

  "Great! Sister Zhang, I'll take you to my room for dinner and show you around. My bed is very wide and big, before when I slept with Moon sister and Huan sister we didn't feel crowded at all."

  As for Zhang's affairs, Sun Langzhong and the others didn't ask much about it. In fact, they didn't need to ask because they could vaguely guess that Zhang must have gotten into some big trouble and couldn't return to Luoyang City for the time being. Otherwise, as a woman, why would she be willing to live in a stranger's home?

  After lunch, Zhen Mingxu made an excuse that he still had things to do and left more than ten taels of silver. He also said some words to comfort Zhang Shi, telling her to relax and stay for a few days, and that he would come back to pick her up after finishing his business. Only then did he get up and leave.

  Zhang's family stared blankly as he walked away alone, until he disappeared from her line of sight. She then withdrew her gaze, only to find that everyone was staring at her, and her face turned red with panic. She pulled the hem of Xing'er's clothes and whispered: "Xing'er, take me to your room for a look..."
