Seeing the disappointment on Su Bin’s face, Qin Zhenzhen took a moment to think before concocting a story.

“My fourth brother has fallen for someone special. He’s planning to confess his feelings, but he’s waiting for the perfect moment.”

“But he’s also worried that if he doesn’t act soon, that special someone might accept another proposal.”

Unexpectedly, Su Bin, filled with curiosity, asked, “Darling, is this girl your fourth brother’s affectionate interest, Uncle Chen’s daughter, Chen Shanshan?”

Qin Zhenzhen was caught off guard.

Su Bin’s words triggered a memory.

When she and Fourth Brother first arrived in the prefectural city, they were staying with Uncle Chen.

Chen Shanshan had a straightforward personality. Initially, she admired Qin Zhenzhen’s medical skills, but after witnessing Fourth Brother’s abilities, her admiration shifted towards him.

She even persistently pestered Fourth Brother to teach her horseback riding and archery, completely disregarding traditional gender norms.

Chen Shanshan was a few months older than Qin Zhenzhen, already at the age of 16. In ancient times, an unmarried and unengaged 16 -year-old girl was quite unusual.

To her knowledge, suitors had approached the Chen family with marriage proposals, but Chen Shanshan consistently postponed marriage.

In most cases, when a girl acted this way, it hinted at a secret love interest who hadn’t yet proposed.

Could it be that Su Bin’s intuition was correct? Had Chen Shanshan set her sights on her fourth brother?

However, her clueless Fourth Brother remained completely unaware of Chen Shanshan’s feelings.

She hadn’t given it much thought at all.

In Qin Zhenzhen’s mind, she believed that Chen Shanshan’s reluctance to marry promptly stemmed from her desire to continue learning from her.

It became apparent to her that she needed to gather more information about Chen Shanshan. Once she had confirmed her suspicions, she planned to seek Fourth Brother’s opinion.

A mischievous grin crossed her face as she thought about the prospect of playing matchmaker if Fourth Brother shared the same feelings.

Observing Qin Zhenzhen’s radiant expression, Su Bin believed he had guessed correctly. However, Qin Zhenzhen wasn’t about to confirm it.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t share that with you right now,” she said with a playful twinkle in her eye. “I promise to tell you as soon as I have more information.”

“Alright,” Su Bin didn’t press further, but he reached out to embrace Qin

Zhenzhen, whispering softly in her ear, “Wife, it’s the third step.”

Qin Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment before reaching out to hug Su Bin gently.

“Wife, can you put a little more strength into it?”

“Of course,” she replied, tightening her hold on Su Bin, who reciprocated.

“Wife, do you feel the connection?”

“Yes.”

Fearing that a negative response would lead to an even tighter embrace, she couldn’t hold back any longer.

The scorching embrace, the warm breath, and the unique words of love all stirred her maiden heart. “Wife, is my waist thin?” “It’s not thin. It’s just right.” “Wife, is my chest firm?”

“Yes it is.”

“How can you be so sure it’s solid?” she inquired, having never laid her hands on it before.

“I just felt it!” Su Bin responded with a touch of childishness in his tone. Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but find his question increasingly whimsical. It

was as It tne seventeen-year-old Su Bin was revealing ms Inner cnmld.

She pondered if she was really going to share a bed with him.

To her surprise, Su Bin questioned her once more, “Wife, is the fourth step kissing?”

Qin Zhenzhen shook her head instinctively. “No!”

“If it’s not a kiss, then what is it?” Su Bin persisted.

Qin Zhenzhen found herself momentarily at a loss for words.

Su Bin whispered, “I’ll leave the fourth step to you.”

Protesting, Qin Zhenzhen retorted, “I’ll decide!”

Su Bin chuckled. “Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”

He relished the journey of drawing closer to both of them..
