Fu Ciyi lowered his head and ate the orange flesh that was between her fingertips.
Yan Funing smiled and asked him, "Is it sweet?"
"Sweet." Fu Ciyi's eyes were filled with a faint smile.
At this moment in the main hall, Fu Nanyao whispered in her mother's ear: "Mom, my brother and sister-in-law are feeding each other oranges."
Fu Beimo frowned when he heard this.
He walked quickly to the yard and shouted in dissatisfaction: "You guys were feeding each other oranges, and you didn't even call me?"
Yan Funing's expression became serious: "I..."
She didn't know why, but many times she couldn't help but want to feed someone.
What's the reason?
I still remember that the book wrote that in order to reduce the number of times someone had to make trouble, Yan Funing would often feed him food in a flattering way.
That shouldn't happen. The core has been replaced.
How could she behave like this?
Fu Beimo pinched half of the orange and frowned: "Are you eating sweet ones? Mine is very sour."
Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing looked at each other, and together they broke off a slice of orange flesh and stuffed it into his mouth.
After eating two orange slices, Fu Beimo finally smiled: "My brother and sister-in-law also fed me oranges. They are so sweet."
He broke off the orange flesh in his hand and fed it to his brother: "Brother, I'll feed you."
Fu Ciyi frowned, took a step with his long legs, and walked away quickly.
Fu Beimo handed the orange flesh to Yan Funing: "Sister-in-law, I'll feed you."
Yan Funing smiled and shook her head: "I'll just eat mine."
Fu Beimo pouted and returned to the main hall, angrily saying, "My brother and sister-in-law won't eat my oranges."
Ali leaned over and said, "I'll eat it."
"Great." Fu Beimo smiled and stuffed two slices of orange flesh into Ali's mouth.
Ali frowned as he ate: "Ahem... why is it so sour?"
Fu Beimo laughed out loud: "I just said it was very sour, my brother and sister-in-law didn't want to eat it, Ali, you are so stupid!"
Wan Niang smiled and sighed: "Ali is a very simple child."
Ali took the sour orange from Fu Beimo's hand: "I'm not afraid of sourness. I'll eat what Beimo can't finish."
Fu Beimo snatched it back and said, "I'm not afraid of sourness. I can definitely eat the oranges my sister-in-law gave me."

That night, after lights out.
Finally sleeping in the familiar bed, Yan Funing rolled around on it.
Arms and legs hit the hanging sheets.
Fu Ciyi suddenly said, "Yan Funing, what are you doing?"
"Don't worry, I won't roll over to your side." Yan Funing found a comfortable sleeping position in the quilt. "Fu Ciyi, I think the bed at home is still more comfortable to sleep on, what do you think?"
Fu Ciyi responded.
Yan Funing asked again: "You also think the bed at home is good, right?"
"To be exact, my bed is comfortable to sleep in." He corrected her.
Yan Funing clung to the edge of the bed: "I won't sleep on the floor."
Fu Ciyi couldn't help but laugh: "This bed is indeed comfortable to sleep on. There's no need to worry about you getting too close."
Last night at the inn, he didn't dare to turn around the whole night.
Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Yan Funing raised her voice: "You mean, I was close to you last night?"
Fu Ciyi coughed: "Not really."
"Then why do you say that?"
Fu Ciyi said calmly, "I'm just trying to be careful of you getting too close."
Hearing this, Yan Funing chuckled: "Fu Ciyi, you are a good person."
She slipped her hand under the hanging sheet and touched his shoulder.
The sudden touch made Master Ciyi tense up and he said in a hoarse voice, "You are a woman, can you be more reserved?"
"I want to shake your hand." Afraid he would misunderstand, she hurriedly explained, "It's just a simple handshake to express our pleasure in working together."
They shared the same quilt, but as a man he was still wary of her. She didn't know what to say.
I feel inexplicably at ease and hope he can keep it up so that the next two years can pass easily.
Fu Ciyi lay on his side, grabbed her hand and squeezed it.
She brought this upon herself.
Yan Funing slapped his hand away: "Don't pinch like this, use your right hand, palm to palm, tiger's mouth to tiger's mouth, and hold it."
Fu Ciyi did as he was told.
After pinching for just two breaths, Yan Funing let go: "Alright."
"That's it?" Fu Ciyi frowned.
Isn't it just a one-night stand?
"Yeah, what else?"
"Where did you learn that?"
"Uh..." Yan Funing hid her hands under the quilt. "I had a dream. In the dream, it was a different world. In that world, there was a handshake etiquette that represented friendship."
Fu Ciyi said softly, "The dream world is not to be trusted. You are a woman, so be reserved."
Preaching in general.
Yan Funing pursed her lips: "I understand."
He added, "When we were fishing and crabbing by the stream earlier, you casually lifted the hem of your skirt. This behavior was inappropriate."
Yan Funing took a deep breath and said, "I won't do it again next time."
Today he held her hand, intertwining their fingers for so long.
At this moment, she just shook hands with him, but he lectured her.
Yan Funing turned over, stopped thinking about this depressing thing, and began to think about how to make money.

The next day, Fu Ciyi went to the village school to teach.
Yan Funing said something to her mother-in-law and took Fu Beimo and Ali into the mountains.
It had been a long time since he and Yan Funing had gone into the mountains. Fu Beimo was so excited all the way: "Sister-in-law, why are we going into the mountains? There are no more oyster mushrooms to pick."
Ali also said, "The Hu family had rotten wood piled up in the yard. No mushrooms had grown there for a long time, so the family carried it to the foot of the mountain and dumped it there."
"This time we're going into the mountains to collect herbs," Yan Funing said. "The Hu family is so bored that they're happy to carry a rotten piece of wood around."
Looking at the dead leaves on the mountain, Fu Beimo muttered, "Sister-in-law, there is no grass on the ground, let alone herbs."
