Chapter 43 Getting Along Qiu Yu entered the inner room and leaned against the wall...

Qiu Yuruo entered the inner room, leaned against the wall, touched her burning cheeks, and let out a deep breath.

These past few days, she had been wary of Su Yunting, treating him as a dangerous person. She was extremely cautious when she spoke with him just now.

After the conversation, thinking back now, he is still dangerous, but he can say that "a man's future should be earned by himself through exams and hard work." Qiu Yuruo thinks that this person still has his own pride.

Given his current social class, the benefits he can obtain are not enough to make him choose to betray himself.

Thinking about it this way, he was still in high danger, but she should be safe for the time being, which eased Qiu Yuruo's anxiety somewhat.

After calming down for a while and relaxing, she looked up at her once-familiar bedroom, a tender feeling rising in her heart.

Compared to the storage room she lived in at Qiu's house, this bedroom, though she only lived there for half a year, had already become a synonym for home in her heart.

The arrangement of things in the room remained unchanged. The biggest change was that the person who had been lying in bed was now awake.

Thinking of the people outside, Qiu Yuruo felt as if the past days were a dream, and as Su Yunting opened his eyes, her dream also ended.

When I woke up from the dream, I realized that the place that made me feel most at ease didn't actually belong to me.

The tenderness in her heart was replaced by sadness; she realized that she still didn't have a home.

Just as sadness welled up in her heart, she heard Su Yunting say from the outer room, "Yu Ruo, Jing Shu and the others' room wasn't very big to begin with, it's inconvenient for the three of you to live there. Why don't you move in here? I'll go live with Yun Che."

Qiu Yuruo was moved after hearing this.

But I feel it's not good to make him move out, but if he continues to live here, I will definitely not move back.

As she was struggling with her decision, Su Yunting, who was standing at the door of the inner room, said again, "I need to observe mourning for my parents, so it's better for me to live with Yun Che for the next two years."

Qiu Yuruo: Yes, he's planning to take the imperial examination. Whether it's for exams or promotions, the requirements for filial piety will be very strict.

Qiu Yuruo was very tempted, but she still had to be polite: "Let's not change it. You need to exercise and study. It will be more convenient for you if the room is more spacious."

Even though he couldn't see her, he knew that she was definitely not being sincere. He leaned against the wall outside the inner room and said, "I've almost recovered. Besides, I don't need to exercise at night. As for reviewing my studies, Yun Che has his own schoolwork every day, so I can supervise him."

A smile unconsciously appeared on Qiu Yuruo's face. She controlled it before saying, "Alright then."

Su Yunting: "Then could you help me pack my clothes? Yun Che won't be back until tonight, and my second sister is all grown up, so I feel bad asking her for help."

Qiu Yuruo didn't object to helping him pack his clothes. When he was unconscious, she was the one who took care of everything for him, so packing his clothes was really nothing.

Su Yunting then heard a voice say, "Okay."

He controlled the smile on his face to prevent it from widening further. "Just pack the clothes you've worn recently. Yun Che's wardrobe is too small; there won't be enough room for everything."

Qiu Yuru hummed in agreement, left the doorway, and went to the wardrobe to tidy up his clothes.

Hearing the sound of the wardrobe door opening, Su Yunting lifted the curtain of the inner room and entered from outside the inner room, then stood still again.

Qiu Yuruo opened the wardrobe door containing his clothes; she was familiar with every single garment inside.

Because I'm familiar with the place, I know that most of the clothes here are already too short.

Everyone has grown taller this year. Because he didn't go out before, he was last in line when it came time to make clothes. When he woke up, his clothes hadn't been made yet.

Fortunately, before making the new clothes, my second sister sorted out everyone's outgrown clothes, releasing any that were still in stock and patching up any that weren't.

However, Su Yunting's clothes had already been put away once last autumn, so this year they can only be patched up.

I only made two sets of clothes for him before, and I made another set for him in the last few days. So out of his closet full of clothes, only two sets are wearable. I just need to find two more sets of extended undergarments.

Seeing that she had found her clothes, Su Yunting said before she could look for her undergarments, "You don't need to look for undergarments. The ones in the wardrobe are all too short. Just take the undergarments off the hanger and there's nothing else to pack."

When Qiu Yu thought about how she was dressed in new clothes from head to toe, and then looked at the clothes she had made for Su Yunting, she remembered the time when she had no clothes to wear, and suddenly felt sorry for him.

Then Su Yunting heard her say, "Make do with these clothes for a couple of days. Tomorrow I'll go to town to buy some fabric and make you two more outfits when I get back."

Su Yunting stood at the door and replied, "My second sister will make the coat, but could you please make me the undergarment?"

Qiu Yuruo turned to look at him: "Of course I did it, but my needlework is so-so, so please don't mind."

Su Yunting quickly replied, "No, it's not that important. There aren't that many rules about the clothes worn underneath."

Qiu Yuruo turned around and put the clothes she had found together. She thought to herself, "There's no use complaining. If you don't like it, just make it yourself. If you don't know how to make it, just buy it yourself."

Thinking about buying ready-made clothes, in fact, very few people bought ready-made clothes in this era. Most rural families wore coarse cloth woven by themselves, and at most they would buy a set of clothes to wear when going out and make them themselves.

Compared to my childhood when I could buy clothes just by going out, and later on when I could buy almost anything without leaving home...

Life now is inconvenient in every way, and I have to do everything myself. Compared to my previous life, life is indeed less convenient. But on the bright side, the pace of life has slowed down, and I can slowly appreciate the beauty of life, which is a kind of compensation.

She was lost in thought but didn't stop packing her things; she only had a few pieces of clothing, which she folded in no time.

Su Yunting was about to move into Yun Che's room when Qiu Yuruo turned around and discussed with him, "I think it would be better to wait for Yun Che to come back and talk to him first."

Whether he told Yun Che or not didn't matter; he was naturally happy to spend more time with her in their marital home.

He didn't object. Qiu Yu looked at the clothes that had been packed for him and thought that she should put her own clothes aside for a while. "The new clothes won't be ready for a couple of days. Let me take out a set of undergarments for you first, so you won't catch a cold in the morning and evening."

Su Yunting was still standing at the door, and said, "Let's take that white undergarment first, it's more comfortable to wear."

Qiu Yu went to the wardrobe to get clothes and then discovered that most of the inner garments inside were white.

She turned to look at him.

Faced with her slightly reproachful gaze, Su Yunting smiled apologetically as if he had just realized what was happening, then walked towards her very naturally, stood beside her, raised his hand, and took down a white undergarment.

He looked down at her, his eyes shining, handed her the undergarment, and said softly, "You've worked hard."

It was only then that Qiu Yuruo realized that he was actually more than a head taller than her!

Qiu Yuruo is not tall in this life, but compared to her previous life, in this era, her current height is considered to be slightly above average among women.

But compared to Su Yunting, he's still so much worse!

She accepted the clothes while feeling conflicted about her height, unaware that the person beside her was already overjoyed.

She did not immediately move away when he approached her.

This was the first time the two of them had been so close since he was able to move around freely.

For Su Yunting, the fact that she was willing to let him stand by her side was something to celebrate.

As Qiu Yu took the clothes to get her sewing basket, Su Yunting slowly closed the wardrobe door.

Qiu Yuruo had already placed the sewing basket on the table, and then went to find the fabric she had specially bought a few days ago to mend clothes.

She found the fabric and discovered that Su Yunting was actually sitting at the table. When he saw her looking at him, he actually said, "Do you need my help?"

Qiu Yuru shook her head: "No need."

She thought to herself, "Do men in this era not know how to sew? He said he would help me, but does he even know how to sew?"

Just a few days after she stopped doubting that he was a time traveler, a single sentence made Qiu Yuru start to overthink again.

Before she could continue her train of thought, Su Yunting said, "I can help you pull the cloth a bit."

Qiu Yuruo: "..."

She tentatively said, "I thought you were going to help with the needlework."

After she finished speaking, Su Yunting actually laughed: "Yu Ruo, the way you're saying it makes me feel like you want me to learn needlework."

Qiu Yu lowered her eyes and said: In this era, men do not need to know how to sew.

Whether it was resentment in her heart or the words he had just said in the outer room, she impulsively asked him, "What if I just want you to learn needlework?"

If Su Yunting had heard this before he fell into a coma, he would have said to her directly: What kind of man would learn this!

Having simply experienced both a coma and regaining consciousness, Su Yunting would no longer give such a curt answer; he would say: "I might not be able to learn it."

Having experienced two lifetimes of coma and possessing memories of his past lives, Su Yunting has seen some of the most powerful people in the world, people who can abandon all pretense of face and etiquette when necessary.

Faced with Qiu Yuruo's question, which was almost a challenge to male authority, Su Yunting replied naturally, "I will agree to anything you want, but you can't look down on me for being stupid."

Qiu Yuru regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking, but she never expected him to give such an unexpected answer.

She looked up at him, truly bewildered. Was the person before her not a time traveler?

If he was a time traveler, how did he manage to recall the contents of books from this era so easily without reading or reviewing them?

If he wasn't a time traveler, then how did he manage to go against the grain of this era and agree to let me learn needlework?

Su Yunting saw the doubt and confusion in her eyes, which stemmed from her lack of trust in him.

Su Yunting knew that gaining her trust was not something that could be achieved overnight.

All he can do now is tell her his true thoughts, just like she used to confide in him.

He proved he wasn't just talking casually by picking up the cloth from the table and asking her, "Do we need to cut the cloth first?"

Qiu Yuruo took the cloth from his hand and said, "I was just joking with you. If others knew that I made you do needlework at home, they would dare to go to the clan chief to criticize me!"

Su Yunting smiled and pulled the fabric back from her hands. "Let's close the door and live our own lives. Who's so idle as to meddle in our affairs?"

Even if there were such idle people, I told them I learned needlework to practice my fingers; they wouldn't dare pin it on you.

Qiu Yuruo: "You really want to learn!?"

Su Yunting smiled gently, but his gaze was firm: "Whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I will fulfill it for you."
