Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

As night falls, the sky is full of stars and the breeze blows gently through the treetops, bringing a hint of coolness.

Zhou Zheng, Tian Xinyue and He Yushui were sitting in the yard chatting. The atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.

He also took out two large watermelons from the kitchen and soaked them in cold water, preparing to let them cool down a little before enjoying them together.

It was around 7:30 in the evening, and Zhou Zheng suddenly thought that if Yan Fugui came to invite him to dinner later, should he go to the banquet?

Logically speaking, since Yang Ruihua had already said he would treat him to a meal, he shouldn't eat at home first.

But he still knew Yan Fugui's character. If he really waited foolishly for the banquet to start, he might be stood up by Yan Fugui.

But to say that it is directly refusing is somewhat inhumane.

However, when the well-behaved and obedient Yan Jiedi and the beautiful Yu Li appeared in his mind, his heart began to waver.

If he got Yan Fugui's family drunk, wouldn't he be...

Just as Zhou Zheng was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.

He casually wiped the water off his hands, stood up and went to open the door.

The person standing outside the door was Yu Li. She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with two buttons slightly open at the collar, revealing a hint of her round, snow-white skin.

Zhou Zheng was surprised by Yu Li's appearance. Before he could ask, Yu Li's gentle and delicate voice reached his ears: "Zhou Zheng, my father-in-law said he wants to invite you to dinner. The dishes are ready. Please come quickly!"

Zhou Zheng quickly moved his eyes away from Yu Li's collar and hastily declined, "I won't go. I just finished my meal and I'm still full. But sister-in-law Yu Li, I see you seem to be very hot. Do you want to go to the yard to eat some ice watermelon?"

Although the land in 1964 was not as poor as that in 1958, it was still rare for ordinary families to eat watermelon, especially Yan Fugui's family. Yu Li had not eaten watermelon since she married into this courtyard. So when she heard Zhou Zheng's invitation, she subconsciously cast her eyes to the center of the courtyard. In her impression, there should be a pressure well there. However, the "pressure well" was not seen, but the courtyard was full of flowers, colorful flowers blooming, competing with each other for beauty, beautiful beyond words.

Yu Li was attracted by the beautiful scenery and could not help but stand there in a daze, forgetting to respond to Zhou Zheng's words for a moment. She stared at these beautiful flowers with wide eyes, and her heart was full of curiosity.

As night fell, warm and dim garden lights lit up in Zhou Zheng's yard.

Under this soft light, the shy flowers seem to be covered with a layer of mysterious golden gauze, appearing noble and elegant.

Yu Li couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "This yard is so beautiful. It would be so happy if I could live in a place like this."

However, her thoughts were soon interrupted.

When she came to her senses, she found that her tender little hand was tightly held by Zhou Zheng.

Her heart skipped a beat, but she still followed Zhou Zheng's strength and walked into the yard.

At this moment, her cheeks were as red as ripe apples, and she looked like a shy girl.

"Zhou Zheng, your yard is so beautiful!" Yu Li whispered, her voice trembling a little.

Zhou Zheng smiled slightly and replied softly: "How can my sister-in-law be as beautiful as me?"

His eyes fell gently on Yu Li, causing her heart to beat fast again.

Yu Li felt flustered and nervous, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She felt as if she was having difficulty breathing.

Is it really necessary to be so exciting?

Her father-in-law and his family were just outside the door. Before leaving, her husband had specifically told her to bring some things back from Zhou Zheng.

But now, she was standing in the yard with Zhou Zheng holding her hand.

It would be so embarrassing if Zhou Zheng’s girlfriends saw this scene!

The more she thought about it, the hotter her face became, and she felt ashamed and annoyed.

She secretly wondered why Zhou Zheng was like this. He clearly had a girlfriend, yet he flirted with her, a married woman. But she just couldn't hate him. Feeling the warmth from Zhou Zheng's hand, she felt a little bit of enjoyment and a little bit of infatuation.

Before I knew it, I had reached the flower bed in the middle of the yard.

Passing through the central flower bed, she saw a pavilion not far away in the dim light.

Aren’t those sitting there Zhou Zheng’s two girlfriends?

She subconsciously broke free from Zhou Zheng's big hand and dodged to the side.

Zhou Zheng had a smile on his face and didn't care at all.

Yu Li did not run away either. She followed Zhou Zheng towards the pavilion with a nervous heart.

Before I got close, He Yushui greeted me from a distance. "Hey, Sister Yu Li."

After hearing the voice, Yu Li smiled awkwardly and responded: "Rainwater, are you guys enjoying the cool here?"

"Yes, the weather is nice tonight, let's go out and get some fresh air." He Yushui replied with a smile.

Yu Li glanced at Zhou Zheng and found that he didn't have any special reaction, just smiled at her. She felt a little relieved, but still a little nervous. After all, Zhou Zheng just held her hand, and she didn't know if they saw it.

Tian Xinyue looked at Zhou Zheng with a smile, as if all this was expected.

Zhou Zheng quickly explained: "Sister-in-law Yu Li came to invite us to dinner, but we have already eaten. I thought of treating sister-in-law to a piece of watermelon to cool down."

Tian Xinyue just laughed and didn't expose her.

She stood up and said with a smile, "Then I have to pick a sweet one for my sister-in-law."

The verbal exchange was fleeting.

The sensible Tian Xinyue didn't want to embarrass Zhou Zheng, so she just said something sarcastic.

But Yu Li was in a state of panic.

It’s neither going nor staying.

She knew that Zhou Zheng was very amorous, and she had also heard her sister-in-law Yan Jiedi's evaluation of Zhou Zheng. She had also fantasized about something happening secretly between her and Zhou Zheng.

But fantasy is fantasy after all, and it should not cross the moral red line.

In a trance, she seemed to feel the warmth of Zhou Zheng's hand again, but Zhou Zheng clearly did not hold her hand again.

This made her face even redder.

He Yushui seemed to notice Yu Li's embarrassment, so he took the initiative to step forward and pull Yu Li to sit in the pavilion.

Zhou Zheng picked up a fruit knife and started cutting the watermelon skillfully.

Yu Li's gaze shifted to the green watermelon, imagining its sweet taste.

With a crisp and pleasant "click" sound, the whole watermelon split open along the perfect cut, revealing the red watermelon flesh, like a dazzling ruby.

She couldn't help swallowing.

Before the watermelon even enters your mouth, you can feel the sweet taste of watermelon filling your entire mouth.

Since she was a guest, Zhou Zheng first cut a large piece of watermelon and handed it to Yu Li.

"Sister-in-law, you eat watermelon, it's so sweet."

Zhou Zheng was really bad. He deliberately held the watermelon in the middle. If Yu Li wanted to take the watermelon, she would definitely touch Zhou Zheng's hand, which made her face turn red again.

But when Zhou Zheng handed her the watermelon, she had to take it.

When their hands gently touched, Yu Li felt an electric current spreading from her fingertips throughout her body, causing her body to tremble slightly.

Her heartbeat quickened and her breathing became a little rapid.

Yu Li lowered her head shyly, not daring to look Zhou Zheng in the eye, and said softly, "Thank you."

The voice was low and gentle, with a hint of tenderness that was barely noticeable.

After saying that, she carefully took the piece of watermelon, and her fingers inadvertently brushed against Zhou Zheng's hand again. The subtle touch caused ripples in her heart.

Zhou Zheng's heart was not at peace either.

Exciting.

As the saying goes: "A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover." This should be the etiquette.
