walk after breakfast, the flap of her tent was lifted, and in came Lu Tingchen’s tall and broad figure.

Chu Jiu frowned, thank goodness she had not been changing.

To prevent an embarrassing incident like that from happening, she could not help reminding him, “I know we’re in a military camp, but can you please inform me before you come in?”

Lu Tingchen arched an eyebrow.
“Why?”

Chu Jiu glared at him, unconvinced that he did not know the answer.

He was clearly acting clueless so he could excuse his indecency.

Pursing her lips, she said sarcastically, “Do you always barge into a maiden’s room without permission like this?”

Lu Tingchen knitted his brow and immediately explained, “I’ve never gone into another maiden’s room.”

Taken aback, Chu Jiu pressed her lips together in silence.

Lu Tingchen took a few steps toward her and with a flourish, produced a bouquet of flowers from behind his back and held them out to her.
“For you.”

Chu Jiu was surprised to see the bouquet before her.

It was already autumn, and many flowers had withered, but the bouquet in his hand was still in full bloom, and its clusters of colorful petals were absolutely stunning to the eye.

“Where did you get them from?” Chu Jiu asked flatly but did not take them.

“I heard that all women love flowers.
I traveled ten Li just to pick this bouquet, you know.” Lu Tingchen did not try to hide how much time and effort he had put into collecting the flowers.

He gazed at her steadily, his intention evident in his dark eyes.

“I didn’t ask you to pick them.” Frowning, Chu Jiu turned her head away awkwardly, her voice cold.

“It was my own idea, I wanted to pick them for you.
Look, there’s still morning dew on the petals.” Just then, Lu Tingchen plucked a petal from the bouquet and inserted it in her hair.

Chu Jiu had not yet done her hair, and at this moment, her long tresses hung loose past her shoulders, the bright-colored petal making her appear exceptionally lovely.

She stared at him in astonishment.
“What was that for?” She raised her hand to remove the petal, but Lu Tingchen stopped her.

“Don’t take it off.
You look beautiful like this,” he murmured, gazing at her.
