Wen Xi nodded, slid off the table, took out a quilt from the system warehouse and was about to spread it on the kang (heated brick bed) when Qin Mi snatched the quilt from her hand, pointed to the quilt on the bed, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Use mine. I've been thinking about you coming. I've washed what needed to be washed and dried what needed to be dried. It smells nice."
If we can't be a real couple, then sleeping in the same bed is fine, right?
As husband and wife, we can't even deny him the privilege of sleeping in each other's arms, can we?
Wen Xi felt helpless. "I understand. Go out and do your thing. Don't delay your work."
After Qin Mi left, Wen Xi locked the door and then slipped into the system kitchen. She washed her hair and took a hot, fragrant bath. After drying and combing her hair, she sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), applied moisturizing cream to her hands and face, and then lifted the covers to lie down and rest.
Before closing her eyes, she actually sniffed Qin Mi's bed and found it smelled of soap and sunshine. He was a clean man after all!
She didn't know when, but a knock came at the door. Wen Xi woke up, rubbed her eyes, got dressed, and then got off the bed to open the door. Qin Mi came in with a cold aura. "You're off work. I brought back dinner. Let's eat!"
Wenxi thought that Qin Mi ate dishes that weren't oily enough in the cafeteria, and if she served dishes that were heavy on oil and salt, Qin Mi would probably feel uncomfortable. So Wenxi brought out a bowl of lotus root and pork rib soup, stir-fried green beans with pork, and a bowl of white rice.
Wenxi filled half a bowl with rice and started eating. The pork ribs she used for stewing soup were given to her by Lin Yiwan. They had a lot of meat on them, unlike the pork ribs that were cleaned out in this era.
Qin Mi took a sip of the lotus root and pork rib soup and exclaimed, "This tastes so delicious!"
"Drink more if you like it. As long as I'm here, I'll make sure you can eat delicious food every day," Wen Xi said with a smile.
"Liangliang, thank you." Qin Mi said earnestly.
Her appearance gave him the most colorful chapter in his life, and he felt truly content with such an extraordinary encounter.
"Liangliang, do you want to rest at home tomorrow, or go out for a stroll? I'm off tomorrow, so I can go with you," Qin Mi said.
Wen Xi thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to the countryside and see how things are in the villages I helped before."
She needs to go and see if everyone has let her efforts and help go to waste!
"By the way, has anyone died in the village?" Wen Xi asked curiously. The system had placed a constraint on everyone: if they had any bad thoughts, they would experience excruciating pain, and if it happened too often...
Qin Mi nodded, and Wen Xi immediately became interested, "What were the causes of their deaths?"
“Some people died from illness, and some died from old age,” Qin Mi said.
Wenxi was relieved to see that no one had died under mysterious circumstances. It seemed that people like Wang Xiao, who were always full of malice, were still a minority. Most people, after suffering a headache, dared not have any more malicious thoughts.
"During the months I was away, that Wang Xiao..."
"Liangliang, I have absolutely no relationship with that Wang Xiao. I never paid any attention to her when she tried to talk to me before," Qin Mi said hurriedly.
Wen Xi chuckled, "I'm not asking about your relationship with her, why are you so nervous? I just want to know how Wang Xiao is doing."
With Qin Mi here, will Wang Xiao really stay obediently in his hometown?
Qin Mi shook her head. "I haven't asked about Wang Xiao, and I don't know anything about her current situation."
Wen Xi changed the subject, otherwise people might misunderstand that she cared too much about Wang Xiao's existence. She didn't care about Wang Xiao's existence, but rather feared it. After all, Wang Xiao had a powerful father, and given the opportunity to turn her life around, she would definitely make a huge fuss about it.
The temperature here is low and it gets dark early. It's dark outside after dinner, unlike in the city where there are streetlights. There are also wolves outside, so there's no way to go for a walk after dinner. Therefore, Wenxi started packing the three big bags of luggage she had brought. This way, she could both pack her things and digest her food.
Wen Xi took out the food and placed it on the table, saying to Qin Mi, "Remember to eat these things, don't let them go to waste."
"Liangliang, you should take it back and eat it. I'm a grown man, why would I need to eat these things?" Qin Mi had never eaten these kinds of things since he was a child; he always ate normal meals.
"I'm a god, I don't need to eat these things!" Wen Xi said softly.
"Then let's save it to pass the time when we're bored!" Qin Mi said. The path to immortality is long, and life is endless; we always need something to kill time!
Wen Xi chuckled. This guy was really naive; he believed everything she said. "Alright, then we'll split it in half."
After Wenxi finished tidying up, she put away half of the items and placed the other half in Qin Mi's cupboard so that Qin Mi could eat it slowly.
The north wind was howling outside, but the room was very warm because of the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed). There was no need to wear a heavy coat. However, the temperature was too high, so Wenxi wanted to eat something cold. Therefore, she took out a bag of oranges.
She took an orange, wrapped her hands in the bag, and started peeling it. She didn't want the orange juice to stain her fingers and nails yellow. The cool, sweet and sour juice made her feel refreshed all over.
"Qin Mi, you eat too," Wen Xi said, pointing to the oranges on the kang table.
"Mmm." Qin Mi nodded, picked up an orange and started peeling it, then nodded again, "Delicious."
"Eat as much as you like, otherwise you won't have any after I leave." Wen Xi paused slightly, then added, "You can keep the orange seeds and try planting them in a suitable place. Maybe you can grow oranges!"
Qin Mi nodded, "Okay, I'll give it a try next year."
Wen Xi found it somewhat amusing, "You try everything, aren't you afraid of wasting your time and energy?"
"But what if it succeeds? Wouldn't that be a good thing for the people?" Qin Mi said with a smile.
“You’re right. You have to have the courage to try anything. If you’re timid and hesitant, you’ll never achieve anything great.”
After chatting for a while, Qin Mi poured hot water for Wen Xi to wash up. Wen Xi had already taken a shower this afternoon while Qin Mi was working, so a simple wash up was enough for her tonight.
After washing up, Wenxi went to bed to rest. Qin Mi also got ready and got into bed, snuggling into the covers and embracing Wenxi's soft and warm body. A girl's body is so fragrant and soft, and her skin is so delicate.
Although he couldn't avoid the physical reaction, he remained rational and reminded himself not to hurt her. This was his bottom line, and he couldn't become a slave to his desires.
