”It’s your precious daughter,” complained Su Wan as she once again turned to another side and then wriggled her body a little. ” She is not sleeping and she isn’t letting me sleep either.”
Though the foetus was too small to make any movement, it was still big enough to make Su Wan feel really nauseous. The latter felt more and more unsettled with the anxiety that was flooding her system and the more she tried to settle her heart down, the more her anxiety would rise. It was as if the child was bent on making tonight the hardest night for her—— which was frustrating as hell given that she was so tired but there was simply nothing she could, not with her body feeling so heavy as if pressure was weighing down at her.
Lin Yan’s brows furrowed as he tried to pull her closer but Su Wan slapped his hands away and said, ” Don’t try to get close to me at the moment, it’s your fault that I feel like this, if not for you I would have been sleeping by now!”
” Yes, Yes, I get it.” Lin Yan hurriedly coaxed her as he pushed himself off the bed and started rubbing Su Wan’s belly to settle his daughter down. Every time Su Wan felt unsettled, this move of his would work but tonight it seemed like that it was the night of test for them as parents because no matter how much they tried to ease themselves, the child was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and if it was anxious than Su Wan was also just as anxious.
Finally, she could not take anymore as she sat up straight and slid off the bed. ” I can’t do it!” she snapped as she raised her hands and walked towards the wardrobe and picked out a robe that she could wear outside and said, ” I am done, she wants to get out of the house and I am going to take her out!”
Lin Yan has just opened his mouth to stop her but Su Wan whirled around with an incredible speed and raised a finger as she warned him, ” And you are not going to stop me either, you get it? Because if I know how to skin chicken and I can skin a man too, you get it? And if you still feel daring enough then you need to remember just one thing and that’s I am the one who sleeps beside you, so in case you want to sleep with an eye open, you can try.”
With his hormonal wife’s threat, there was no way Lin Yan would be able to say anything either, so he swallowed down what he wanted to say and said, ” Sure, I will come with you, all right? Or you are going to bar me from doing that too?”
” No, I won’t as long as you don’t stop me,” she waited for Lin Yan to dress up and then the two of them walked out of the room. The night sky was just as dark as it usually was but tonight something was different, the surroundings were a bit more lit up than they were usually. ..Su Wan frowned as she looked at Lin Yan and asked, ” Where is the light coming from?”
Lin Yan also frowned as far as he knew there was no festival or anything taking place in the village, so what was going on? Why was the village lit as such? He was confused as well, in the end, he couldn’t resist and looked at Su Wan and said, ” You stay here and I will see what’s going on.”
” What do you mean, you are going to see it alone?” said Su Wan as she already picked a brick in her hand, it wasn’t that heavy but it was enough to hurt someone if she was to throw it down. ” I am coming to see it too, we will take care of whatever or whoever it is,” with that, she sucked in a breath and then walked out of the house with the brick in her hand.
Lin Yan rolled his eyes as he too picked up a stick and walked after her. He should have known his wife was just built different and don’t seem to have any ‘fleeing’ instinct in her body, if there was any danger she will be there too as well!
The two walked out of the house when they met with Feng Dai and Feng Zhai who were coming out of the house as well. The brothers were also carrying a stick in their hands, when they saw that Su Wan and Lin Yan were coming out of their house, they paused and said, ” We saw the light and we thought that we should go and check it out as well.”
Though their fields were all right but the brothers were just as worried as they were during the last week and that’s why they will wake up in the middle of the night to check up on their fields. Tonight was the same as ever but just as they were going to head out they noticed the light that was coming from the surroundings and knew that something was wrong —- so they picked up the sticks and strode out of their house where they met with Lin Yan and Su Wan.
”Let’s go then,” said Lin Yan though he wasn’t that worried, nothing dangerous has happened in their village for years but just as he reached the scene from where the light was coming, he realised how wrong he was because a field was on fire and that field was theirs!
