After agreeing on the trip to town the next day, the family had a simple dinner and went to bed early.

Because it was late autumn, the kang (heated brick bed) was lit early, and it was very comfortable to lie on. However, Cui Yulu couldn't fall asleep yet because she still had things to do.

However, Han Yu'an's gaze towards him seemed a little strange these past few days.

Moreover, he was going to bed later and later, and he would suddenly wake up every time he was given acupuncture.

It takes a lot of effort to get him to sleep.

Han Yu'an simply didn't sleep today, keeping her eyes wide open as she stared at him.

"Why aren't you asleep yet? Be careful you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

"You weren't asleep either, I just wanted to keep an eye on you."

Cui Yulu blushed all the way down to the roots of her ears after he teased her like that.

"You're talking nonsense again. Go to sleep."

"No, a fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman. Yu Lu is that fair maiden, and I am the gentleman. I wish to ask for your hand in marriage. Would you be willing?"

Cui Yulu didn't understand these poems very well, but looking at his eager eyes, she vaguely felt that something was wrong. Could it be that Han Yu'an had recovered?

Unsure of his exact identity, I quickly grabbed his hand to take his pulse, and sure enough, the pulse was different from the previous weak pulse.

The hesitant pulse, as the name suggests, is difficult and hesitant, like scraping bamboo with a light knife, sluggish and not smooth.

But now his pulse is strong and powerful, which is typical of a man his age.

No wonder this guy is acting so strangely today. Looks like I'll have to give him a few acupuncture needles to cool him down.

Otherwise, you'll feel suffocated.

"My wife, how am I feeling?"

Hearing him speak so clearly, Cui Yulu knew he must have recovered. It seemed she could tell her grandmother the good news tomorrow.

Let's make her happy too.

"You're very strong, almost like an ox. You can celebrate with Grandma tomorrow."

"Wife, could we not tell Grandma yet? I have some things to take care of and need your help."

Cui Yulu had never seen Han Yu'an with such a resolute look in his eyes, a look completely different from his previous foolish gaze.

At this moment, his eyes were clear yet held a hint of wildness and arrogance.

"If you want my help, don't look at me like that. Also, take off your clothes, and I'll give you acupuncture so you won't be able to spot anything."

Although she didn't know why he was hiding it, Cui Yulu was willing to help him with this favor.

And she felt she had to help him.

"Why are you taking off your clothes? Haven't you seen enough already?"

Cui Yulu blushed again after being amused by his words.

I had seen his body before, but that was only to treat his illness, and I didn't think of anything else. Now that he said that, I feel like a female hooligan.

I felt a little embarrassed in front of him.

"You look beautiful when you blush."

Cui Yulu gave him a shy glare: "I knew I shouldn't have let you recover. You really have too much to say."

She pretended to be angry and reached out to pull off his clothes, thinking that she should quickly give him acupuncture, otherwise this guy wouldn't be able to sleep well all night.

"I'll do it myself."

Looking at her blushing face, Han Yu'an decided to stop teasing her and began to undress himself.

"How much should be exposed?"

Because he had been given spiritual spring water to drink these past few days, his body had become increasingly strong, and he even had abs when he took off his clothes, which made Cui Yulu blush even more.

What are you thinking about?

"No, lie down and let me get ready first."

The lights were still on in the young couple's room. Liu Xiuying got up in the middle of the night and heard their conversation. She came over to check on them, wondering if something had happened to Han Yu'an.

"Why aren't you asleep yet, Cui girl? Is there something wrong with Yu'an?"

Cui Yulu had just put on her clothes and gotten off the kang (a heated brick bed) when she heard her grandmother's question. She was startled and almost fell because of her unsteady body. Fortunately, Han Yu'an jumped off the kang and caught her in his arms.

She let out a soft moan, which Liu Xiuying heard.

"Did you fall?"

Cui Yulu blushed, her face turning as red as a ripe tomato. This was their first intimate encounter, and she felt a flutter in her heart.

"Grandma, my wife is taking off my clothes. We're playing a game."

Upon hearing Han Yu'an's words, Liu Xiuying's face immediately turned red, and she quickly wrapped her clothes tighter around herself.

"It's getting late. We're going to town tomorrow, so don't stay out too late or you won't be able to get up."

After saying that, Gajin quickly left the couple's house.

Thinking that this was the beginning of their marriage, it seemed that my worries were a bit unnecessary.

Hearing her grandmother's footsteps fade into the distance, Cui Yulu quickly pushed him away.

"Who asked you to take off your clothes? I'm here to treat your illness. Hurry up and stop dawdling."

With a flushed face, Cui Yulu stepped onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and patted the area under his mattress.

"Come up and lie down. I need to sleep after I finish acupuncture."

Cui Yulu yawned as she spoke, while Han Yu'an chuckled and strode onto the kang (heated brick bed), revealing his muscular chest.

Cui Yulu originally intended to help him relieve his internal heat, so this time she applied acupuncture to exert external force.

"I suspect you did it on purpose; this injection really hurt."

Cui Yulu suppressed a smile but still shook her head in denial.

She did it on purpose, but she won't admit it, so he definitely can't do anything about it.

After inserting the needles into the acupoints, Cui Yulu lay in her quilt and waited for the needles to be removed at the appointed time.

Perhaps because she was too tired during the day, Jing fell asleep while lying down.

Han Yu'an heard a soft snore beside him and smiled. This little girl was his wife, and she was so cute.
