At this moment, Sun Mo couldn’t help but recall that during his university years, once weekends arrived, those affluent second-generation friends in his dorm would immediately pack up and get a room nearby the school with their girlfriends, playing for two days straight.

At that time, Sun Mo would either stay in his dorm to play world of warcraft or head to internet cafes all night. He also secretly despised those affluent second-generation friends.

At that time, the pure and innocent Sun Mo thought that the couples missed each other too much and were reluctant to part; hence, they wanted to stay together and say sweet things to each other. Only after he had graduated and started working, after he had seen some adult movies by chance, did he suddenly realize and understand his dorm-mates’ motivation for doing such things.

Che, it would only make him sad when he thought of this.

Single dogs didn’t even know the ultimate meaning of love!

“Teacher?”

Li Ziqi called lightly. Sun Mo seemed to be in a daze?

“Mn!”

Sun Mo lifted his feet and entered the gate.

This was a house with three entrances. Vines climbed all over the walls, resembling a green waterfall.

Through the decorated gate, there was a courtyard with over ten laurus nobilis (a type of tree) planted. The gentle breeze of the wind caused the shadows of the tree to flicker.

Gua! Gua!

On the left, there was a tiny pond with lotus leaves floating on the surface. There were frogs hiding beneath the fake mountain for the shade.

Sun Mo inclined his head and stared at the greenery and the high ceilings over his head. A thick sense of ancient beauty filled his heart.

“Teacher, should we head to the east wing?”

Li Ziqi suggested.

This house was something Li Ziqi asked her old servant to buy yesterday. She had also arranged for some servants to clean it through the night. All the beddings and pillows were changed and the daily necessities were added.

“Mn!”

Sun Mo nodded and followed Li Ziqi to the east wing.

The rooms were cleaned very well. There was even a faint fragrance of sandalwood lingering in the atmosphere.

“Should we start now?”

As she said this, Li Ziqi’s voice quivered a little. She suddenly recalled that burly fellow whose body muscles were glistening as though there was a layer of oil applied.

“Go and make some preparations!”

Sun Mo lifted a copper basin. “I’ll go and get some clean water!”

“I’ll do it!”

Lu Zhiruo snatched the copper basin and ran toward the well in the courtyard.

“Ziqi, if you are not used to it, it’s fine if you remain clothed too!”

Sun Mo could tell what was making Li Ziqi uneasy.

This place was the Tang Country of Central Province. The customs here were similar to ancient China. Although it wasn’t to the extent where there couldn’t even be the slightest physical contact between men and women, if there was no need for it, men and women wouldn’t usually have any physical contact prior to marriage.

When females went on the street, regardless of them wearing plain cotton clothing or luxurious silk clothing, they would cover themselves completely in a fitting manner.
