When I got home, I could hear Lan Yusui coughing incessantly as soon as I entered the door.

Upon seeing Lan Yuchu and Lin Qiyue return, she immediately said, "You're back. You guys do the work. I can't do it anymore."

He kept coughing and tearing up while speaking.

She was just cooking a meal, but the smoke from the burning coal was too pungent.

She really couldn't do this kind of work. She rarely did any housework at home, mostly just helping out. She had never used anything like a fire starter before.

Lan Yuchu put down her bicycle, went straight into the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Go back and do your homework."

Lan Yusui left the kitchen not long ago.

Lin Qiyue put down her things and went into the kitchen, intending to help out.

"What are we having for dinner today? Let me help you."

Lan Yuchu was already washing up. She turned to look at Lin Qiyue and said, "It's okay, I'll wash up. It'll be done soon. You can go to the living room and rest for a bit."

"That won't do, will it? It's not right for me to just sit around and wait to eat without doing any work?" Lin Qiyue was a little embarrassed, after all, Lan Yuchu had taken good care of her.

Lan Yuchu then asked, "You've been working all day, aren't you tired?"

Lin Qiyue thought about it and realized that she had indeed worked a full day, but she was still very excited.

Because the people I met today were all quite friendly.

With Shen Qingmiao having left this family, there were no longer any difficult people to get along with, so she was actually quite happy.

With her parents-in-law not home, and after Lan Yuchu returns to the army, she will only spend time with Lan Yusui.

The two of them get along quite well.

"Then I'll watch you cook, so I can learn too?" Lin Qiyue also wanted to see how a good man cooks.

In novels, men are very attractive when they cook.

Especially good-looking and handsome men.

If only Lan Yuchu took off her clothes! Wearing just a vest while working would be perfect, so she could admire the man's great abs.

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

He couldn't help but smile.

Lan Yuchu looked up at her and saw her staring at him blankly, even grinning foolishly.

He was immediately infected by her smile, and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Qiyue realized what was happening and laughed so slyly that she almost drooled.

I almost made a huge mistake.

"N-nothing!"

Lin Qiyue angrily scolded herself: "Lin Qiyue, you can't! You can't be attracted by good looks."

Lan Yuchu felt relieved that she was happy, which was better than her being unhappy and keeping everything bottled up inside.

After this experience, he decided that he still had to bring her with him to the army.

With Shen Qingmiao gone, who knows if a second Shen Qingmiao will appear in the future?

Besides, he shouldn't let Lin Qiyue continue living alone. Couples need to live together to strengthen their relationship.

Lin Qiyue forced herself not to think about Lan Yuchu's perfect abs and instead fell into deep thought.

"I've been here for several days now, why hasn't the female lead appeared yet?" It's really strange, shouldn't Duan Yueman have appeared by now?

...

I cooked three dishes, and they'll be ready to be served soon.

After finishing the meal, Lan Yuchu washed the dishes.

They prevented Lin Qiyue from lifting a finger throughout the entire process.

After finishing her meal, feeling bored, Lin Qiyue stood in the courtyard and looked up at the sky.

This is the hottest time of the year.

Looking up, you can see the stars in the sky. This sight is rarely seen in later generations; it can only be seen in a few rural areas.

She rested her hands on her back, and when she looked up, she didn't forget to turn her body slightly.

Lan Yuchu saw her looking at the stars in the sky, and then slowly approaching.

The moment she swayed, she lost her balance and turned her head to face Lan Yuchu, leaning her whole body against him.

Lan Yuchu instinctively wrapped her arms around Lin Qiyue.

He lowered his head, bringing it less than a finger's width away, otherwise they could have kissed.

The man's hormones were radiating, and his warm breath brushed against Lin Qiyue's face.

She looked up at him, one hand on his chest, and could clearly feel his heartbeat, which was very fast.

"Oh my god! I can't resist anymore, this man is too unsafe!" Lin Qiyue thought to herself, "Won't I fall for him?"

She didn't want to let go; the man was so handsome, she couldn't resist his charm.

Lan Yuchu's Adam's apple bobbed nervously, his whole body was tense, and his eyes, like peach blossoms, were restless with anticipation.

His soul was completely captivated by her, and they were so close that Lan Yuchu couldn't help but think of the scene at night when she held him.

He has been enduring a lot of hardship these days.

At that moment, there was a commotion outside the door.

Qian Xiuying was parting ways with her colleague when she entered her home and saw the young couple being all lovey-dovey.

Upon hearing the sound, Lan Yuchu and Lin Qiyue immediately let go of each other.

Lan Yuchu looked at her mother awkwardly and asked, "Mom, you're back?"

"Yes, they're back." Qian Xiuying wondered if she had ruined their good time.

Lin Qiyue pursed her lips, feeling guilty and not daring to look Qian Xiuying in the eye, but out of politeness, she turned her head to glance at Qian Xiuying.

Seeing her staring at her so openly, she immediately lost her nerve the moment their eyes met.

"I...I'm going to take a shower first?" Lin Qiyue touched her head and went straight into the room, escaping the scene of social embarrassment.

After Lin Qiyue went inside, Lan Yusui, who had been peeking through the crack in the door, couldn't help but laugh.

"Mom, if you had come back a little later, you might have seen something even more exciting!" She had been watching from the doorway for a while, silently wishing she could kiss him soon.
