There is a stone mill and a formation-based thresher in Xue Huan's space, but the space is sealed and she can't get in at all.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Pei Ji said, "It's okay, it's the same if I use my hands."
Then he grabbed a handful of wheat grains and rubbed them in his palms, and the husks fell out. He opened his palms and blew gently, and the lighter husks floated up.
All that remained in his palm was a handful of crisp, hulled wheat kernels.
Xue Huan asked in surprise: "How did you do that?" Isn't this control too subtle?
It can actually be achieved to such an extent!
How to put it? This kind of delicate operation can only be understood but not described. Pei Ji was unable to describe it accurately in words, so he grabbed a small pile of wheat grains and put them in her hand, then held her hand and did it again.
"Do you feel it?"
"Yeah, that was fun, I want to do it again!"
Manually hulling the wheat kernels is a boring task, but the two of them ended up completing it with great fun.
Before I knew it, I had hulled all the wheat grains in a small bag.
Since they could all hull the wheat manually, grinding it into powder was no problem for Pei Ji. His hands could even grind hard stones into powder, let alone wheat grains.
By the time it was completely dark, there was a pile of snow-white flour in front of the two of them.
Xue Huan got to eat the hand-rolled noodles with pickled cabbage and bean paste as she wished. The hand-rolled noodles were very chewy. She ate two bowls in a row and sweat broke out on her forehead.
After washing up in the evening, the two lay down on the bed, Xue Huan half lying in Pei Ji's arms, "I can't sleep, tell me a story."
"What story does Huanhuan want to hear?"
"Well, do you remember a travelogue I read before? The protagonist was a man named Cui, who encountered foxes, ghosts, and flower demons during his travels. Tell me about that."
Pei Ji had a photographic memory and he quickly dug out the travelogue from his memory and told it to her in a soft and low voice.
One of the chapters tells the story of how Cui Sheng was trapped by a flower demon and finally killed the demon and escaped successfully.
Xue Huan's hand under the quilt wrote a few words on Pei Ji's waist.
Pei Ji's heart moved, he grabbed her hand, turned over and pressed her down: "Don't you want to hear a story? If your hands don't behave, I will..."
Xue Huan deliberately tickled his waist a few more times, "What do you want?"
Pei Ji simply stopped talking and started to tickle her. Xue Huan dodged him, screaming and laughing, waiting for an opportunity to fight back.
The two of them were making a mess on the bed.
"Ah, the baby kicked me!" Xue Huan suddenly shouted.
Pei Ji immediately stopped his attack, moved over and lay on her belly, feeling the movement of the little guy in her belly.
When the little guy kicked again, the two new parents were extremely excited, as if they had witnessed some miracle.
Pei Ji kissed Xue Huan on the belly and lay down with his cheek against her waist.
Xue Huan held his head and closed her eyes.
Both of them had smiles on their faces.

"I want to eat grapes."
"Ugh! These grapes are so sour! Take them away!"
"I want to eat fish!"
"I want to eat fresh fish! Not dry pickled fish! Huo Kang, I'm pregnant with your child, and you're just trying to fool me with this?"
"I don't want to stay in this crappy place anymore! I want to get out! Take me out now!"
"Huo Kang, you actually...are you with this woman behind my back? Are you worthy of me and the child? Get out! I never want to see you again!"
Xue Huan ran back to the room, lay on the bed, and cried her heart out. She hiccuped while crying, and her tears soaked the pillowcase.
"You bastard Huo Kang! You said you would treat me well forever! And you're already impatient with me after such a short time! I just want to eat something delicious, right? What's wrong with that? Besides, it's not what I want to eat, it's what your son wants to eat!"
The baby in her belly pounded her belly, as if saying: Daddy and Mommy, just act, don't use me as an excuse, okay?
Xue Huan laughed at her own imagination and almost couldn't hold it in. In order to avoid revealing her expression, she quickly lay down on the pillow and buried her face in it.
"Bastard! Damn it!" She pounded the quilt.
Pei Ji watched Xue Huan running away, his expression helpless and exhausted. Ming Wan said anxiously, "Huo Kang, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and catch up with her and explain to her. We have nothing..."
Pei Ji pinched his brows, obviously exhausted by Xue Huan's unreasonable behavior. "Forget it, she will think it through."
Ming Wan frowned in disapproval, "She's pregnant, so she's prone to overthinking things. You... forget it, I'll go explain it to her."
Pei Ji did not stop him.
Over the past half month, Ming Wan seemed particularly considerate and sensible in contrast to Xue Huan's willful and arrogant nature. Every time Pei Ji was upset by Xue Huan, it was Ming Wan who stayed by his side to enlighten and comfort him. Therefore, his attitude towards her also changed from being cold at the beginning to being gentle now.
Ming Wan was happy to see this happen. She believed that in a short time, his heart would completely turn to her.
She trembled with excitement at the thought of breaking up a couple who were once very much in love.
Lowering her eyes to hide the expression in them, she came to the house of Xue Huan and Pei Ji.
"Hanhuan, it's me, I'm coming in?"
"What are you doing here! I don't want to see you! Go away!"
Ming Wan acted as if she hadn't heard anything and walked straight in. "Hanhan, you misunderstood me and Brother Huo. There's really nothing going on between us."
Xue Huan was secretly unhappy. Fortunately, she knew Pei Ji was acting with her, otherwise her ambiguous words would have definitely added fuel to the fire.
She sat up, looking at her coldly with a pair of tear-swollen eyes, "Nothing? Then why are you still calling me Brother Huo?"
Ming Wan apologized without much sincerity: "I'm sorry, I'm used to calling you that, and I can't change it right now."
She sat down beside the bed, took her hand, and looked like she wanted to tell her something intimate: "Hanhuan, to be honest, I do have feelings for Brother Huo..."
She smiled shyly, then raised her head and looked at her sincerely: "But I will never do anything to destroy other people's feelings, you can rest assured about this. This time, Brother Huo came to me because..."
"Pa!" Xue Huan slapped her hard in the face.
Ming Wan looked at her in disbelief. She never expected that she would be beaten by a "puppet" that she let play with!
How dare she hit her! This vile human!
At this moment, hostility and murderous intent burst out from her pupils, and she wished she could kill the woman in front of her immediately.
However, if she died, Huo Kang might always miss her, and then she would never be able to replace her in Huo Kang's heart.
Let her live a little longer, and then she will peel off her skin with her own hands and make her into a zombie!
These thoughts only lasted for a moment. Ming Wan covered her face and lowered her head to avoid revealing a ferocious expression.
