He took a step toward her.
He was tall and had long legs, and he took both of her steps back at once.
The distance between the two people shortened instantly.
Yan Funing retreated again.
Unexpectedly, he approached her again.
An invisible sense of oppression enveloped her, and her intuition told her that Fu Ciyi was very unhappy.
It was inexplicable. How had she offended him?
He continued to advance towards her until her hips hit the desk and she was forced to stop.
Yan Funing had no choice but to reach out and push on his chest.
"Fu Ciyi, what do you want to do?"
Her already soft voice trembled, and her long and curled eyelashes trembled along with it.
He could even feel her palms shaking.
At this moment, she looks particularly delicate and vulnerable...
Fu Ciyi's Adam's apple rolled, his body tilted slightly, and he stretched out his long arm to reach her waist.
The sound of his breathing beside her ears frightened Yan Funing so much that her heart began to beat violently.
Fu Ciyi reached out, opened the drawer of the desk, and took out a mirror.
"For you."
The voice was low and deep.
Yan Funing withdrew her hand from his chest and looked at the mirror in his hand.
The handheld mirror is palm-sized, with a carved back, and looks pleasing and beautiful.
Just give her a mirror, why get so close to her?
At this moment, there was a wall on her right, a desk behind her, and him in front of her, so she had no choice but to move quietly to the left.
He hid his hands behind his back and shook his head in refusal: "I don't want it."
"Why not? There is no mirror at home."
Shouldn't women look in the mirror when dressing up?
"Give it to Nan Yao."
"She'll have her share." He handed it to her again, "Take it."
Don't force him to hold her hand, let her take it.
His patience is limited.
Yan Funing shook her head again: "A woman shouldn't easily accept things from men."
It was he who told her to be reserved.
Fu Ciyi felt like there was something stuck in his throat.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a commanding tone, "You crossed the line that night. As a punishment, I will make you put away the mirror."
"Ah?" She finally looked up at him, "Is there such a punishment?"
She hadn't been able to look at him properly for many days.
At this moment, she raised her head and her gaze gently entered his eyes.
Their eyes met, and he said, "Yes, or do you want to try another way?"
The voice was hoarse and faint in the middle of the night.
The woman in front of him had clear beautiful eyes but with a hint of panic, as if his actions had frightened her.
Only then did Yan Funing put away the mirror and thanked him quietly.
She didn't want to ask what other method she could use, because there was no easier punishment than letting her face the mirror.
Fu Ciyi's brows relaxed and he quickly walked out of the room.
--
The next morning, several people were preparing to do morning exercises, but Yan Funing didn't get up for a long time.
Fu Beimo knocked on the door of the west wing: "Is sister-in-law still awake?"
I shouted several times but heard no response.
"Stop shouting." Fu Ciyi pulled Fu Beimo away, went into the room and closed the door.
On the bed, Yan Funing was still fast asleep.
Fu Ciyi walked to the edge of the bed, leaned over, and gently patted her shoulder: "Yan Funing, are you feeling unwell?"
Yan Funing hid her face in the quilt, shook her head, and said drowsily, "I'm so sleepy, let me sleep a little longer."
Fu Ciyi went out and closed the door behind him.
Li Xinheng said softly, "I went to the county town yesterday and came back. The girl must be tired."
Fu Ciyi: "I guess so."
Several people were doing exercises along the river.
After running, he did horse stance and practiced boxing. The door of the west wing was kept closed.
Fu Nanyao called for dinner in the main hall, so Fu Beimo and Ali ran to the main hall, while Li Xinheng went home.
And Fu Ciyi entered the west wing again.
At this moment, Yan Funing was still asleep, with her brows furrowed, looking as if she was enduring discomfort.
Fu Ciyi wanted to touch her forehead, but his hand froze halfway. In the end, he patted her shoulder through the quilt.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Yan Funing slowly opened her eyes: "Fu Ciyi, can you please call my mother and Nan Yao for me? I feel a little unwell."
"good."
He left the house quickly.
Soon, Wan Niang and Fu Nan Yao entered the west wing.
Fu Ciyi was having breakfast in the main hall, looking out into the courtyard. He saw his sister leave the west wing, enter the east wing, and then go back to the west wing.
Later, he came to the kitchen and brought breakfast to the west wing.
Fu Ciyi frowned. What happened to her?
After a while, the mother and daughter returned to the main room to continue eating.
Fu Beimo and Ali ate quickly. After saying something to Wan Niang, they took hoes and went to the fields to weed.
While the two boys were away, Wan Niang said to her eldest son, "Fu Ning is having her period. She must have been tired yesterday and has severe abdominal pain today. We don't have any brown sugar at home. If we boil some brown sugar in ginger water and drink it, it will help a lot."
Fu Ciyi quickly finished his breakfast and went back to his room.
Soon, he came to the main room again and handed Fu Nanyao a mirror: "Take good care of her, I'm going to town."
Seeing the beautiful mirror, Fu Nanyao said happily, "Don't worry, brother!" Then she asked her mother to touch the pattern on the back of the mirror, "Mom, you see, brother still loves me, his sister."
Fu Ciyi strode towards the village entrance.
Li Xinheng had just finished his breakfast. Since Yan Funing was unable to practice boxing today and probably would not go into the mountains to dig medicinal herbs, he planned to drive a cart to earn some money.
Fu Ciyi entered the Li family courtyard: "Xinheng, I'm in a hurry, I'm going to town."
Upon hearing this, Li Xinheng hurriedly harnessed the horse.
At this moment, Yan Funing ate a little and fell into a deep sleep again.
When she woke up again, it was already past noon.
She sat up on the bed, and in just a moment, Fu Ciyi brought in a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger water.
