Deep in their little hearts, an unprecedented sense of pride sprouted - because their unique ideas were recognized and praised by their mother.
They all secretly made up their minds: next time they heard an interesting story, they must think about it carefully, and when they got home, they would tell their mother everything they thought and feel, so as to win their mother's praise again.
And so, the family continued on their journey, talking and laughing.
As they walked, the naughty quadruplets were suddenly attracted by the mottled shadows of trees on the roadside, and then they enthusiastically played the "stepping on shadows" game with Lu Yu.
As the night deepened, a breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness. The quadruplets gradually became sleepy and their eyelids began to droop.
Qin Wan and Lu Yu gently picked them up one by one, took them back to their room, covered them with quilts, and whispered good night to them.
The moonlight shines through the window onto the children's peaceful faces, weaving sweet dreams for them one after another.
After settling the four children, Lu Yu and Qin Wan returned to the bedroom hand in hand.
The door closed gently, isolating the outside noise and leaving only the warmth and tranquility of the room. The two smiled at each other, their eyes gleaming with a tacit understanding that only they could understand.
Lu Yu gently reached into the slightly old wooden table and fumbled around. After a while, he took out a bottle of canned pineapple that was golden in color and exuded an enticing aroma.
Then, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and then he reached out and grabbed Qin Wan who was standing beside him, and stepped into Qin Wan's space together.
After entering the space, Lu Yu skillfully unscrewed the bottle cap, picked up a pair of clean chopsticks from the side, carefully inserted a piece of fresh and juicy pineapple flesh, and slowly brought it to Qin Wan's cherry-red lips. He looked at Qin Wan expectantly and asked softly:
"Try it, is it delicious?"
Qin Wan opened her mouth slightly, gently bit off the sweet pear flesh, chewed it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She nodded and said:
“Mmm, delicious!”
Hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes flashed with joy. He smiled and explained:
"You know what? This is a gift from the Huatuan to celebrate his divorce from his wife! Each leader received two bottles of this delicious canned goodness. Dabao and the others happily devoured that bottle already, but I saved this last one for you and waited until you came back to give it to them."
Qin Wan listened quietly to Lu Yu's story, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
Although in later generations there were countless canned fruits of all kinds, at this moment, it had undoubtedly become a rare delicacy.
More importantly, Lu Yu always thought of her no matter where he was, and this deep affection really touched her.
But even though he was deeply moved, Qin Wan was still clearly aware that some issues had to be clarified, especially those concerning Liu Yingmei.
To be honest, she was very happy when she heard that Liu Yingmei was getting divorced!
So, she gently swallowed the sweet and juicy pear flesh in her mouth, calmed herself down, and asked:
"Why did Hua Tuan and Liu Yingmei end up getting divorced?"
The corners of Lu Yu's mouth rose slightly, outlining a gentle smile, and his eyes, as deep as a pool of water, flashed with a hint of doting.
Of course he knew his wife's little thoughts, and he also wanted to tell her the reason why Hua Tuan was able to divorce, but since it involved state secrets, he could not disclose it.
So, he gently and carefully picked up another piece of fresh, juicy, and attractive fruit flesh and carefully brought it to Qin Wan's mouth:
"Another piece."
After Qin Wan gently bit off the sweet and delicious fruit flesh, Lu Yu put down his chopsticks, adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and responded calmly:
"As for why they want to divorce, it's not something we can get involved in. It's not something we can talk about openly!"
Qin Wan was a very smart and thoughtful person. When she heard Lu Yu's words, she immediately understood and grasped the deep meaning contained in them.
Since it wasn't appropriate to pursue the matter any further, she gave up. It wasn't her business in the first place.
Qin Wan nodded obediently and sensibly, indicating that she understood. Then she seemed to have forgotten about the matter and stopped talking about it, instead shifting all her attention to the can in front of her that was filled with delicious food.
"It's really nice to have a pineapple, you should also hide one."
Qin Wan's cheeks were stuffed full of food, puffy and round, like a lively and cute little hamster, looking particularly playful and interesting.
Because he was chewing delicious food, Qin Wan's words were mumbled and not very clear.
But Lu Yu still heard it clearly, he smiled and shook his head.
He didn't want to eat pineapples; he wanted to eat his wife. He hadn't seen her for four or five days. Using the "one day equals three autumns" formula, that's over a decade.
He fed his wife a piece of pear meat, then stood quietly by the side, staring at his wife silently.
Looking at the charming and adorable face of his wife beside him, his eyes darkened. If he did not have good self-control, he would have learned from Emperor Minghuang of Tang and stopped attending court early in the morning for the sake of the beauty.
Looking at his wife's lips, which were soaked in juice and were red and shiny, like a delicious delicacy inviting him to taste, he felt a fire rising in his body.
How could my wife be so lovable! I really want to come forward and give her a big kiss...
Just when he was feeling conflicted, Lu Yu suddenly discovered that Qin Wan had stopped eating at some point and was looking at him with a shy and reproachful look.
"Eat it if you want. It's not like this is the only can of pineapple left in the world."
"Yes, yes, my wife is right. However, I see that you don't want to eat pineapple, but you want to eat..."
After saying that, Lu Yu smiled evilly, looking so handsome and cool that Qin Wan was instantly stunned. Her cheeks immediately flushed and she asked coquettishly:
"What do you want to eat? If not this, what else can you eat? Do we have anything else delicious here?"
After hearing this, Lu Yu's mouth curled up slightly, and he was secretly delighted. He couldn't help but think of his wife's cute look at the moment, which was so cute that it made his heart melt.
In fact, he knew very well that there was no other food in the space to fill his stomach.
However, at this moment, how could he tell his wife directly that what he really wanted to taste was not some delicious food, but the charming and beautiful woman in front of him?
