Seeing her firm attitude, Xue Ling could only agree. “Alright, I’ll go out.”
He turned away.
Huanhuan was about to lift her clothes when she saw Xue Ling suddenly turn around after taking two steps!
Huanhuan: “!!!”
Frightened, she quickly pulled down the hem of her clothes to cover her legs.
Why was there no end to this bird beast’s tricks?!
Huanhuan was furious. “Get out!!”
Xue Ling was disappointed that he had failed to achieve his goal. He had no choice but to turn around again.
After he walked out, she immediately got up and locked the door from the inside.
‘Let’s see how you can peek now!’
Huanhuan pointed her middle finger at the door, then returned to the bed. After sitting down, she lifted her clothes, took off her shoes, and soaked her feet in hot water.
It was so comfortable!
Outside the room, Xue Ling leaned back against the door and crossed his arms.
He asked, “How’s the water? Is it comfortable?”
Huanhuan’s voice came through the door. “Yes, it’s very comfortable.”
Just by hearing her voice, Xue Ling could imagine her happy expression. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he was in a surprisingly good mood.
No matter what she’d been through…
No matter how many secrets she kept…
As long as she could come back, that was enough…
After Huanhuan washed her feet, she put on her clothes and shoes before pulling open the door.
She was about to get some water when Xue Ling took the bucket away.
It didn’t take long for Xue Ling to return while holding a set of clothes made of cotton. He placed the clothes on the bed. “These are mine. I haven’t worn them yet. They’re new. You’re not much shorter than me. You should be able to fit into them.”
Huanhuan waved her hand and said, “I have my own clothes. You don’t have to give me more clothes.”
“You can’t sleep in the clothes you’re wearing. The material of these clothes is very soft. They’ve very comfortable to sleep in.”
This time, Xue Ling did not play tricks like before. He obediently walked out of the bedroom and took the initiative to close the door so that she could change her clothes in peace.
Huanhuan reached out and gently touched the set of clothes. “Cotton… I haven’t worn cotton clothes in a long time.”
The system said, “Put them on!”
Huanhuan was a little hesitant. “I’m already eating and living here. Now, I have to wear his clothes. Isn’t that inappropriate?”
“Who cares?! It wasn’t easy for you to come back. Of course, you have to eat and dress well. Otherwise, it’ll be a loss!”
“That’s true. Since we’re already back, we can’t waste such a good opportunity.”
Huanhuan immediately took off her bear fur coat and put on cotton clothes.
This set of clothes was sewn according to Xue Ling’s figure. On her, the length barely fit her, but her shoulders were a little wide, causing the clothes to stretch a little. It made her look thinner.
Xue Ling was a little surprised to see her in his clothes. “You look quite sturdy. Why did you lose so much weight?”
“Did I?” Huanhuan rolled up her sleeves, revealing the muscles in her arms. “I think I’m still very strong!”
Xue Ling: “…”
He silently helped her lower her sleeve, then turned his head away. He replayed Huanhuan’s previous cute appearance in his mind for three minutes before he could barely forget the scene of her revealing her arm muscles.
Although he liked his wife no matter what she looked like, he was still more inclined to the soft and cute style.
He really couldn’t stand such a tall and strong female warrior who could kill a cow with a punch.
There was only one bed. Fortunately, it was quite large. It could accommodate two adult beasts.
Huanhuan slept on the left. She tried to move closer to the bed, trying not to touch Xue Ling.
Xue Ling lay on his side with one hand supporting the side of his face as he stared at the back of her head. “Sleep over a little, lest you fall to the ground.”
Huanhuan didn’t turn around. “No, I’m fine sleeping like this.”
Since she refused to come close, Xue Ling took the initiative to lean toward her.
She felt a warm guy leaning against her from behind. She was so frightened that she hurriedly dodged forward. In the end, she fell to the ground with the blanket.
Huanhuan: “…”
Did he just jinx it? He had just said that she would fall to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, she really fell to the ground!
Xue Ling stuck his head out of the bed. Seeing her angry look, he couldn’t help but smile even more happily. “Did you hurt yourself?”
Ignoring him, Huanhuan wrapped herself in a blanket and lay on the ground, preparing to spend the night on the ground.
Xue Ling said, “The ground is cold. You’ll catch a cold if you sleep too long on the ground. Come to bed.”
Huanhuan turned her back to him, still ignoring him.
Xue Ling said, “If you don’t come to bed, I’ll carry you to bed myself.”
Huanhuan was so angry that she immediately turned around and shouted at him, “You can’t carry me!”
“How do you know I can’t carry you if I don’t try?”
Seeing that he was really going to get up and carry her, Huanhuan got up. “Don’t do anything rash. I don’t want you to carry me!”
Xue Ling stepped back, then patted the empty spot beside him. “Then come to bed.”
Huanhuan crossed her arms. “But you can’t touch me!”
Xue Ling suppressed his laughter. “Alright, I won’t touch you.”
“Swear it!”
“Yes, I swear I won’t touch you.”
Under his repeated assurances, Huanhuan climbed into bed skeptically. She deliberately kept a distance from Xue Ling. When he didn’t lean over again, she closed her eyes in relief and fell asleep.
Xue Ling stared at her side profile for a long time.
Unable to resist, he reached out and gently touched her cheek. “You’re real, aren’t you?”
Huanhuan slept soundly and showed no reaction at all.
Xue Ling asked again, “When I wake up tomorrow morning, you won’t disappear, right?”
Huanhuan turned over and faced him with the back of her head.
Xue Ling reached out and helped her pull up the blanket that had slipped off. At the same time, he said softly, “If I don’t see you tomorrow morning, I won’t let you off even if I have to chase you to hell.”
…
The night passed quickly.
When Huanhuan woke up, she felt a headache.
Xue Ling was long gone. She was alone on the bed.
She changed, pulled open the door, and went downstairs.
Xue Ling walked out of the kitchen. He was still wearing the little flowery apron that Huanhuan had given him before.
He was tall and looked especially ridiculous in the little apron.
But he didn’t find it ridiculous at all. He loved it very much.
Xue Ling brought out a bowl of hangover soup and placed it in front of Huanhuan. “I’ve been brewing this soup for a while. The temperature is just right. Hurry up and drink it.”
The hangover soup didn’t taste good. After Huanhuan pinched her nose and drank it in one go, she felt her headache subside.
Xue Ling said, “Sit down for a while. I’ll make breakfast soon. We’ll have your favorite meat bun today.”
When Shuang Yin, who had just entered the door, heard this, she opened her mouth and asked, “What? You want to eat Meat Bun? You’re too cruel. Meat Bun is so cute, but you killed it and want to eat it?!”
Xue Ling did not understand what she meant at all. “It’s cruel to eat meat buns? Alright, I’ll have you on a vegetarian diet from now on.”
Shuang Yin: “…”
