Of course, it's fine if she doesn't object.

"Huo Cheng..."

Inside the warm room, in the darkness before dawn, soft whispers rang out.

That was the sweetest whisper from a beloved girl to her lover…

…………

Huo Qing didn't sleep well last night.

The power hadn't come back on after a night out, and she woke up several times in the middle of the night, worried that Yingyue would be too scared to sleep.

If Dou Chenfeng hadn't kept comforting her, she probably would have dragged him out of bed in the middle of the night to come next door to keep Yingyue company.

Not sleeping well at night has a serious consequence: when I wake up in the morning, in addition to constantly yawning, I also have dark circles under my eyes.

She went out yawning.

Dou Chenfeng walked in from outside, carrying breakfast he had bought from the canteen.

What are we eating today?

Huo Qing asked, yawning.

Seeing this, Dou Chenfeng found it somewhat amusing, "My brother-in-law bought these: meat buns and soy milk."

"oh!"

She turned around slowly, then realized, "My brother's back?"

"Um."

"When did you get back?"

Thankfully, she held back last night and didn't ask Feng to go with her to her neighbor's house. If they had gone, and she had run into her brother, how awkward would that have been?

Dou Chenfeng immediately saw through his wife's thoughts.

He smiled and said, "I think I got back around dawn, but I'm not really sure."

"Yeah, let's not worry about it, as long as we have something to eat."

Huo Qing waved her hand dismissively, turned around to wash up, and then ate breakfast.

Yingyue next door also woke up.

She hadn't regained her strength yet, and her hands and feet felt weak.

Huo Cheng cared for her like a baby, helping her get dressed, squeeze toothpaste, brush her teeth, wash her face, and then carrying her to the kitchen for breakfast.

She seemed boneless the whole time, limply resting on Huo Cheng's shoulder.

Close your eyes and rest to regain your strength.

I never realized that doing that was so physically demanding before. What happened this time?
