The warm, humid air brushed against her ears, and Lin Xi tilted her head sensitively, her earlobes turning bright red.
Su Qinghe liked it and couldn't resist taking a small bite.
"Um……"
Lin Xi couldn't help but let out a soft groan, her hands gripping the sheets beneath her tightly.
"Hehe..." Su Qinghe chuckled softly, quite satisfied with his reaction.
She hugged Lin Xi tightly around the waist, wrapping her long, strong arms around him.
Suddenly, a heavy rain began to fall outside the window, pounding against the bare branches of autumn trees.
The rain was pouring down, as if the gates of the sky had been suddenly opened, and the rain was pouring down mercilessly.
Each raindrop was like an angry fist, pounding hard against the poor branches. These branches could only tremble helplessly in the wind and rain.
They were powerless to withstand the onslaught of raindrops, struggling in the raging storm. The raindrops pounded on the branches with a dull thud, and the branches swayed precariously in the wind and rain.
Yet, amidst this scene of despair, there is an indescribable vitality.
Despite being battered and teetering in the heavy rain, they refused to give up easily. They persisted in the wind and rain, as if telling a story of indomitable spirit and demonstrating the tenacity of life.
In the wind and rain, the tree branches will become stronger and more vibrant!
...
The next morning, the sunlight generously streamed into the room, gently caressing the two people embracing on the bed.
"hiss!"
Lin Xi was blinded by the light and raised his hand to shield his eyes, but as soon as he moved, he felt a soreness all over his body, as if all his bones were falling apart.
"woke up?"
A voice came from above, and Lin Xi looked up to see his wife's face with a mischievous smile.
His mind cleared instantly, and when he thought of the absurd scene between the two of them last night, his cheeks flushed red.
His wife went a bit too far last night... he was almost overwhelmed...
"It's still early, if you're not feeling well, sleep a little longer!" Su Qinghe said softly, looking at the person covered by the blanket.
Last night was exhausting. She tried to be more restrained, but having tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, she couldn't control herself. She only gave up when Lin Xi fainted.
Sigh, Xiao Xi's health is still too weak; she needs to take good care of herself!
When we go to the city again sometime, we'll ask the doctor to prescribe some tonics for him!
"Mmm!" Lin Xi was unaware that his wife was still thinking about his body, so he obediently answered, his voice very hoarse.
But the moment that sound came out, he became even more embarrassed.
Last night, he tried his best to keep quiet because of his brother Yuan in the next room, but later he didn't have the energy to care about it at all, and he didn't know if Yuan had heard him.
Hearing his hoarse voice, Su Qinghe was immediately filled with guilt.
She quickly got out of bed to pour him a glass of water, and only after he had drunk it did she get dressed and go out.
Inside the kitchen.
Ji Yuan, covered in soot, was stuffing firewood into the stove. At that moment, only a small flame flickered in the stove. As soon as he put a handful of firewood in, the last small flame disappeared.
A thick plume of smoke instantly billowed from the stove, causing Ji Yuan, who was facing the stove opening, to cough violently once again.
When Su Qinghe arrived at the kitchen, she saw Ji Yuan in this disheveled state.
"You put in too much firewood," Su Qinghe kindly reminded her.
"Wife, wife master!"
Ji Yuan suddenly heard Su Qinghe's voice and quickly stood up, awkwardly pulling the firewood in his hands behind his back.
"Pfft!" Su Qinghe couldn't help but laugh out loud when she first saw Ji Yuan's flamboyant face.
Having made a fool of himself in front of Su Qinghe, Ji Yuanjian became even more flustered and could only stammer:
"Wife, mistress, please wait a moment, breakfast will be ready soon..."
"You should start a fire first before saying that!" Su Qinghe said with a smile.
"immediately!"
As Ji Yuan spoke, following Su Qinghe's instructions, he quickly rekindled the fire.
"Breakfast doesn't need to be too complicated, just cook some plain porridge!" Su Qinghe instructed.
"yes!"
Su Qinghe stopped worrying about cooking, turned around and went to the yard to practice horse stance.
This body is still too weak. It's fine for dealing with ordinary people like yesterday, but it would be troublesome if it encountered someone with even a slightly stronger martial arts background.
Before she gets involved with those people, she needs to quickly return to her previous life's level.
After practicing the horse stance, Su Qinghe performed several sets of punches. Only when her clothes were soaked with sweat did today's training end.
At the dinner table, Lin Xi hadn't gotten up yet. Su Qinghe quickly finished her breakfast and took a bowl of white porridge into Lin Xi's room.
Ji Yuan watched Su Qinghe's retreating figure, lost in thought. With so much noise coming from next door last night, and only a wall separating them, he must have heard it all.
Considering how fierce she was last night, even when Xiao Xi cried, she still wouldn't let him go. She definitely wasn't the type to be gentle with her husband. But unexpectedly, she was so considerate, even personally bringing her husband breakfast.
Then, Ji Yuan thought of his former wife, whose character was completely different from Su Qinghe's.
I wonder if she's only this kind to Xiao Xi. She doesn't have any children yet, and buying him was only out of legal obligation. He's definitely not as good as Xiao Xi...
Suddenly, Ji Yuan shook his head. What was he thinking?
Given his status, it's already a stroke of luck that he's found a kind buyer, a place to stay, and a life free from worries about food and clothing. How could he possibly hope to win the favor of the new wife? He's insane!
...
After the meal, Su Qinghe took a kitchen knife and went into the mountains behind the village.
Sweet potatoes can't be planted in every season. In the next few months, without sweet potatoes as nutrients, she would have to find other plants to provide nutrients for the fruit-bearing trees.
Autumn is the season when wild animals store up food for winter, so there are many wild animals in the mountains at this time, and hunters will seize the opportunity to hunt more prey.
Because of its location near the mountains, many families in Qingshan Village make a living by hunting. Su Qinghe had already encountered several hunters along the way.
The mountains and forests are vast and rich in plant species. Along the way, Su Qinghe has already found several plants needed by the fruit-bearing trees, but she can't name most of them.
Of these plants, she was most familiar with only one—wild chestnut.
In order not to waste the only known nutrients, she simply pulled the entire chestnut tree, which was not very big, bare.
"I wonder if it's possible to transplant this tree directly into the space."
Without hesitation, Su Qinghe used the kitchen knife in her hand to cut a relatively thick tree branch, sharpened the end, and began to work.
The chestnut tree didn't look very old, only about a meter tall. Half an hour later, the roots of the chestnut tree had been dug out.
Su Qinghe dug deeper, and when she felt it was about right, she threw away the branch and grabbed the trunk, pulling it backward. Despite the effort, the tree was still uprooted.
The instant the tree roots detached from the ground, Su Qinghe felt a lightness in her hand, and the tree was gone.
"It seems this method will work!"
Su Qinghe was overjoyed and immediately entered the space, but she did not see the chestnut tree on the ground. Instead, she found herself on the pregnant fruit tree, tightly bound to the base of the tree by his vines.
