Chapter 8 The Wedding Night After this family meeting, ...
After this family meeting, they have gained a basic understanding of each other.
After Qiu Yuruo reassigned the household chores, she first let the Su Jingshu sisters do their own things, leaving Su Yunche behind, and then asked him in detail about Su Yunting's daily life.
Fortunately, Su Yunting was already unconscious. If he had heard these words, his consciousness would have been in danger of being burned out by the excessive heat.
When Su Yunting regained consciousness, he felt someone supporting his back and helping him lie flat.
The person supporting him was clearly stronger than his younger brother.
When Su Yunting realized who was supporting him, his intense emotions shook his very being.
If it were any other woman, Su Yunting wouldn't have had such a strong emotional reaction; at most, he would have felt a little embarrassed.
But now, the person beside him is Qiu Yuruo, his wife.
In his previous life, during his lonely remaining years, Su Yunting had fantasized more than once that if Qiu Yuruo were still alive when he woke up, the two of them would do the most intimate things in the world, just like other couples, and become the most intimate people in the world.
Su Yunting had fantasized about intimate contact between the two of them, but he never imagined that their first physical contact, while his wife was still alive, would be like this!
Su Yunting wasn't afraid to show his most vulnerable side in front of others, but Qiu Yuruo was different.
Unlike her relatives who were implicated by her, she was someone she had no connection with, yet in the end, she was also implicated and lost her life.
The tragic fates of her mother, brother, and sister were not entirely due to her coma, but Qiu Yuruo's early death was entirely her own fault.
In his previous life, Su Yunting entered the imperial court and had countless opportunities for marriage alliances, but he never had the idea of remarrying.
Su Yunting had a strong emotional reaction. He felt ashamed that their first intimate encounter as husband and wife was completely unexpected, and he also felt powerless because he could not protect or rely on the only person he felt completely indebted to.
She was the person he owed the most. He dreamed of making it up to her and giving her the best of everything. But the reality was that when he wanted to recover, she would still be there, and she would definitely see him at his most wretched.
After helping Su Yunting get ready and changing his clothes, Qiu Yuruo lay him down again. After all that work, she was sweating.
Before tidying up Su Yunting, Qiu Yuruo took a shower. After a long day, she was too lazy to go out and shower again. She casually wiped away her sweat, blew out the light, and climbed into bed to lie down.
For a while, I used the excuse of taking care of my health to do nothing but sleep and eat. My health did improve a bit, but my physical strength declined.
However, there won't be another chance to recover, and I think it won't be long before my strength is restored.
After thinking about what I planned to do tomorrow, I turned over to go to sleep, but my bent leg suddenly pressed down on someone.
Qiu Yuruo: I almost forgot there was someone else in bed.
Su Yunting had mentally prepared himself for the future, just as he was accepting the difference between reality and his imagination, when he was suddenly overwhelmed by someone's pressure.
Qiu Yuruo: "Sorry, sorry, I forgot there was someone else in bed."
Su Yunting smiled knowingly and replied, "It's alright."
Unfortunately, he couldn't say his words, and all he got in response was silence.
Su Yunting heard a very soft sigh, then the thin blanket covering him was pulled off, and a hand was placed on his outer shoulder. A very low voice said in front of him: "I want to turn over after lying down for a while. If you are awake, you can't turn over many times a day. You must be very tired."
When Su Yunting was conscious, he lay motionless for most of the hour, which was tiring. He thought he was used to it, but when he heard Qiu Yuruo ask him that question, he suddenly wanted to turn over.
Qiu Yuru propped herself up on the bed with one hand and used the other to forcefully turn his shoulder over, saying, "You can't turn over many times during the day, but there's nothing to do at night, so I'll turn you over a couple more times."
The idea is wonderful, but unfortunately, an unconscious body is not so easy to move.
Qiu Yuruo tried twice to turn him over but failed. She could only sit up, use both hands, and by the moonlight, hold his shoulder with one hand and grab his pajama pants with the other, and finally managed to turn his body to the side.
I turned him over and adjusted his leg position, bending his legs to different degrees.
Qiu Yuruo felt comfortable lying on her side like this, but seeing Su Yunting lying on his side made her feel awkward.
Qiu Yuruo: "What exactly is wrong with the adjustment?"
Because she lacked experience, she didn't know what she hadn't adjusted properly for a moment, but Su Yunting knew that one arm was half-pressed down by his body, and the other arm was hanging down. Pulling the pressed arm out and putting the other arm on top of it would make the position more comfortable.
If Qiu Yu can't tell, she should lie down on her side and compare the two to see where the adjustment is wrong.
Qiu Yuruo lay down on her side facing Su Yunting. In the quiet night, he could feel her breathing.
Qiu Yuruo adjusted herself to a comfortable side-lying position, then looked at Su Yunting and smiled: "I forgot to adjust your arm position."
First, pull out the arm that was half-pressed under the body, then pull the dangling arm and position it in various ways, finally deciding on the position of the two wrists touching.
With his arms properly positioned, Qiu Yuruo finally felt more comfortable.
Just as Qiu Yuruo had thought, adjusting his posture did indeed make Su Yunting feel much more relaxed.
Qiu Yuruo lay down on her side facing Su Yunting again. The moonlight shining through the window made his features vaguely visible.
Qiu Yuruo has been sleeping alone for many years. In her previous life, her mother was in poor health when she was young, and she was worried that it would affect her rest, so Qiu Yuruo started sleeping alone when she was very young.
In this life, I open my eyes and find myself all alone.
Now, someone is sleeping in the same bed with him, even though he can't move or speak.
However, whether he is alive or not is entirely within one's control.
It is safe for me.
Qiu Yuruo gently touched Su Yunting's hand; the warm touch was reassuring.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was unconscious and had been diagnosed with little chance of waking up, Qiu Yuruo boldly took his hand.
It was as if she were talking to herself, or perhaps to him: "You have to take good care of yourself, you have to hold on. I'll help you raise your younger siblings, so you have to stay with me for a few more years."
These past years, she had barely survived in the Qiu family home. The verbal abuse, the terrible food, and the loneliness in her heart almost made her give up.
Now that I'm married into the Su family, no one can verbally abuse me anymore. Once I earn money in the future, my dietary standards will definitely improve.
There's also a husband who only sleeps and doesn't talk, causing trouble. Qiu Yu can treat him as a confidant, not needing him to respond, just needing someone by her side when she wants to confide in him.
If marrying into the Su family was a decision made out of necessity, then after marrying into the family, Qiu Yuruo felt that it was truly a good thing.
Although it's not ideal to think this way, the fact that there are no elders to keep her in check, that she can make her own decisions, and that she doesn't have to bear the pressure of having children is a life she never dared to imagine after she transmigrated.
All I have to do is support my family and take care of my sick family. I have a talent for cooking. In my previous life, I had plenty of ingredients, and the meals I made at home were always better than those in restaurants.
Despite how strict Grandma Zhou was with the food, she still insisted on letting me cook, simply because the food tasted better when I made it than when they did.
We live in a peaceful era now. If I give myself another five years, I can make my family's life better than other families.
Qiu Yuruo is full of confidence in her future life.
As I was drifting off to sleep, I suddenly remembered that Su Yunting used to lie flat on his back at night, but now he was lying on his side. What if I fell asleep and bumped into him, turning him onto his stomach, and then he suffocated? That would be terrible.
Thinking of all this, Qiu Yuruo suddenly became alert and clear-headed again.
Su Yunting understood Qiu Yuruo's loneliness from her last words to him.
Su Yunting understood Qiu Yuruo's loneliness.
Su Yunting had known Qiu Yuruo's situation thoroughly in his previous life. She had no close relatives since she was eight years old, and now at fifteen, she was forced to marry him in place of her cousin, with whom she had been engaged. For the past seven years, although she lived in her own home, she had lived a life of dependence on others.
Su Yunting felt a pang of pity.
From Qiu Yuruo's performance today, Su Yunting discovered that she is actually an optimistic person.
He couldn't understand why such an optimistic person, after failing to protest the marriage during a hunger strike in his previous life, would choose to commit suicide by jumping into the river on the day of his wedding!
As Su Yunting was pondering the reason, he felt the person next to him suddenly sit up again and push him back into a lying position.
Qiu Yuruo: "Now you won't be bored at night."
The person next to him lay down again, and the night fell silent once more, but the sound of breathing around him reminded him that he was not alone in the room.
At this moment, Su Yunting no longer dwelled on the reason for Qiu Yuruo's death in her previous life. Her loneliness made him certain that she was the orphan of the second branch of the Qiu family, and his wife in both his past and present lives.
He only hoped that she would always be well, and that he would never be alone again in the future.
...
The new environment did not affect Qiu Yuruo's sleep; she slept soundly until almost dawn.
She opened her eyes and took a moment to process what she had just learned before she remembered that she was now married into the Su family.
First, she looked to see if her husband, who was lying on the outside, was alright.
Su Yunting was still lying flat, his posture exactly the same as last night, and even the way his hands were placed outside the blanket was exactly the same as last night.
Qiu Yuruo's heart suddenly started pounding wildly. She quickly put her finger under his nose and felt his warm breath on her finger. Only then did Qiu Yuruo breathe a sigh of relief.
He patted his chest and said, "That scared me to death!"
It's no wonder she overthinks things; after a whole night, he hasn't changed at all, which really makes people wonder.
Having confirmed that he was still alive, Qiu Yuruo reached her hand into his blankets again; it was still dry inside.
Now Qiu Yuruo was truly relieved. Yun Che hadn't lied; Su Yunting's biological clock should still be quite punctual.
