Ye You originally thought, who would open a restaurant up on the mountain in this era? Unlike in his original world, which almost everyone own a car, so they can drive to the farmhouse and villas.
Then Du Yao told him that an old friend of his grandfather lived in seclusion here.
The family’s cooking skills were inherited from their ancestors.
Moreover, their ancestors used to be an imperial cooks thus many people come over, spend money and requested1As in to request the family to cook for them.
but they failed, because they(the family) were not short on money.
They only entertained acquaintances and friends now.
Because Du Yao had rescued their grandson before, out of gratitude to Du Yao, their family asked Du Yao to come at any time and they would entertained him at any time.

Du Yao spent most of the year in the army, and he didn’t have time to come even if he wanted to.
It was rare for him to have time and bring Ye You together to come over.
He had people go to give prior of notice the other day.

When they arrived, it was still early, Du Yao took Ye You to the back of mountain to play.
The two went to the stream and catch some small fish and shrimps, then they picked some wild fruits, not for eating them, but for fun.
Ye You was a child who grew up in the city in both worlds, and for him, it was interesting to go up the mountain to play once in a while.

Ye You wet his shoes while watching Du Yao catching the fish, and then refused to wear the already wet shoes and socks.
Du Yao could only walked back with him on his back.
Ye You draped on his back, with one hand around his neck, and the other holding the cleaned wild fruit to eat.
He could still enjoy the scenery along the way, it was comfortable and cozy.

Ye You had only been acting spoiled and shamelessly with his family since he was a child.
Although it was not long since he established a relationship with Du Yao, he just couldn’t help but wanted to act shamelessly with Du Yao, and then looked at his helpless appearance.

When they come to a large, flat rock beside the river, Du Yao sat Ye You down on top of it, then squatted down in the water to wash and clean Ye You’s feet.

Ye You’s feet were white and tender, just looked at it and one will knows that he hasn’t walked much, and he was also very ticklish.
When Du Yao helped him washed his feet, he keeps shrinking back and can’t endured it that he kicked Du Yao.
If it weren’t for Du Yao’s strong build that couldn’t be move, he would have fallen into the water with such a fierce kick.

“Do you want to eat?” Ye You asked Du Yao while holding the sweet and sour wild fruit.

“Yes.” Du Yao nodded.

Ye You was about to pass him another one that he had not eaten, but Du Yao stood up, lifted his chin, and ate the pulp2果肉(guo rou); pulp.
If we separate them; 果(guo); fruit. 肉(rou);  meat in his mouth directly.

Ye You who held the fruits in both hands, was pressed on top of the stone by Du Yao and kissed for a long time.
When Du Yao’s kiss gradually fell, Ye You took a deep breath and said, “If someone comes over, we will be seen.”

“I can hear it if someone coming over.” Du Yao whispered in Ye You’s ear.

Ye You can’t help but shook when he(DY) breathed into his ear.
When Du Yao’s hand was gradually falling, he warned in a small voice, “Don’t mess around, I don’t want in this place… with you….”

“Do you think I would do that to you here?” Du Yao said with a smile.

“Who knows if you will suddenly turn beastly.” Ye You glared at him, and when he looked at the smile on his face, he felt his teeth itch and wanted to bite him.

“I held back last night, and I can definitely hold it today.
Don’t worry, I will endure it until the night we got married.” Du Yao promised.

Ye You had never thought that sex can only happen after marriage.
He felt that as long as the feeling were in place, enough understanding of each other, and being psychologically prepared to stay together, it was okay to let it happen before marriage.
It was normal for a person to have physical needs.
Even if they really can’t go on anymore in the future, they can only break up.
Having done that3Raw 发生关系; happen relationship.
(It can also means having sex).
Since “happen relationship” feel a bit off,  I change it to done that.
Tbh this paragraph are a bit confusing to me bcoz I feel these words (Chinese & Eng) are have more deeper meaning? Or is it just my brain that start to burn up?  does not mean that that person was unclean.
Ye You think that it was a pathological thought to decide whether a person was clean or not by having done that.
Except for promiscuity, he feels that promiscuity means that this person was dirty in all aspects such as thoughts, feelings, and character.

“Then you can only wait.” Ye You said after being helped by Du Yao to sit up.

“How long are you going to let me wait?” Du Yao asked.

“Nevertheless in two or three years.
I’m only 19 years old.
I don’t want to get married too early.” Ye You felt that the ideal age for marriage was around 30 years old.
If it were in his original world, it would be normal to get married at this age.
However, now in this world, if he only get married at the age of thirty, others would think he had a problem.

“I can’t wait that long.” Du Yao said.

“Then how long do you want to get married later?” Ye You felt that the time could still be negotiated, and it was not impossible to do it in advance.

“I’m going to perform a task next month, and I’ll be back in about two months.
After I get back, we will get engaged first, and then spend half a year to prepare for the wedding, which is completely enough.”

Ye You pondered very seriously.
He was only twenty years old by then.
Was he really going to get married so early? However, marriages around the age of twenties are quite common in this era.
If it was ten or twenty years ago, there are many people who get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

“Let me think about it.
After you come back from the mission, we will discuss this matter.” After finish saying that,  Ye You just eat the fruit in his hand, Du Yao continued to snatch it from his mouth, and the two of them seemed to be playing around but also seemed to eat the fruit affectionately.

Du Yao walked back to have a meal with Ye You on his back.
After Ye You tasted the food, he felt that the taste was not bad, better than the cook in his family.
No wonder they all live in seclusion on the mountains, and some people even came with money to beg for a meal.
However, he think that his own cooking was more delicious, but he wouldn’t cooked it here.
They were here as guests.
It was very rude to show that his cooking skills are better than the host’s cooking.

Ye You hesitated for a long time, whether or not to be engaged to Du Yao, after all the important matter of marriage should be carefully considered, especially when he does not know whether he has the opportunity to go back(to his world).
This was really a matter that required courage to decide.

While Ye You was still hesitating, Ye Chen and Du Hao had already decided to get engaged.
Although Ye You didn’t know how they persuaded Elder Ye to agree, but Elder Ye would agreed in such a short time, in fact it was something that Ye You expected.

Although the Ye family had a feud with the Du family, but it was a problem of the ancestors, and even the Elder Ye himself couldn’t remember the reason why they had a grudge with the Du family.
Although the Ye family’s family rules stipulated that they were not allowed to make friends with the Du family, the relationship between the military factions was complicated.
Elder Ye has a good relationship with Du Hao’s grandpa4From his mother’s side.
Du Hao’s grandpa comes forward to persuade him that the possibility of success was very high.

Another reason was that Elder Ye always partial towards Ye Chen, Ye Chen and Du Hao’s matter had become so serious.
If he insisted on opposing it, Ye Chen would likely impossible to find someone who was better than Du Hao in the future.
Even if he was angry, he will still plan and consider for Ye Chen’s future.
Ye Chen’s parents also strongly pleaded with old man Ye to agree to their marriage.

Ye Chen received a lot of discussion and pointed fingers because Ye You had made the matter a big deal.
He has been depressed all these time and tried to pretend to be pitiful and aim for sympathy, which also had a certain effect.
Many people feel that he was also very pitiful, because of family opposition, he can’t be openly together with the person he love, and they felt some sympathy for him.

Ye Chen announced at the Cultural Regiment that he was going to be engaged to Du Hao.
His face changed from the previous melancholy, and his whole body was refreshed, with a happy smile on his face, accepting everyone’s blessings.
While the female Literally Art soldiers congratulate him, they couldn’t help feeling envy.
Du Hao’s grandfather and grandpa5Raw 爷爷; yeye (grandfather from father side) 外公; wai gong (grandpa from mother’s side).
Yeah,  I know it’s a bit confusing.
At first I was confused too. were both generals, and being able to serve as granddaughters-in-law6Raw 孙媳; sun xi (normally for daughter in law) but I think we can apply that for Ye Chen since he is a ger to two generals was something that no one else can dream of.
No wonder Ye Chen was so happy.

Ye Chen took a lot of wedding candy7It’s a traditions in Chinese Culture.
There are various packaging, take a look below and distributed them everywhere in the Cultural Regiment, telling them that they could come to his engagement banquet as long as they were free.

“Congratulations, ah, Ye Chen.”

“Congratulations, you will be the granddaughter-in-law of two generals from now on.
I really envy you.”

“After the engagement, you should get married soon, right? Du Hao is so good, you will be happy in the future, bless you both.”

“Congratulations, you must invite us at the wedding reception, ah.”

“Thank you for your blessings.” Ye Chen’s smile on his face and the joy in his heart couldn’t stop.
“As long as you have time, just come to the wedding reception, you are all my guests, just take it as to help me join in the fun.
Thank you so much.”

“Surely there will be big shot going there? The leaders of the military will definitely go there too.
If we all go, will it cause you trouble?”

“It won’t be troublesome, I have already told Hao Ge, there will be a few tables specially prepared for you at that time, you just have to come.”

“Well, then we will definitely go.”

At this time, regardless of whether it was true or false, everyone who received the wedding candy congratulated and said blessing words to Ye Chen with a smile.
Even if some people were actually envious and jealous, they will not show it at this time, because both of them were already engaged and they can’t offend Ye Chen at this time.
After all, Ye Chen has Du Hao as a backer, his promotion will definitely go smoothly.
They take advantage of the fact that they were trying to cheer him up to have a good relationship with him, and they may be able to receive his favor in the future.
