Xu Yan repackaged the dishes Xie Zhuo brought back onto plates and placed them on the table. She also made a homemade bayberry "drink" for everyone using the bayberry jam she had made.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao drank very carefully, taking small sips and then taking another sip after a while.
Xu Yan's heart softened at the sight. "It's alright, drink it all up. Your aunt will make you more when you're done. There's still plenty of bayberry jam left."
Hearing her say that, Da Bao and Xiao Bao picked up their mugs and took a big gulp, then looked up at her with smiles, "It's sweet and delicious!"
"What tastes so good? Uncle wants to drink it too."
Xie Zhuoren's voice came through the door before he even entered the kitchen.
"Third Uncle," Da Bao called out.
"Third Uncle is back," Xiao Bao called out as well.
"Hey, hey, I heard you," Xie Zhuo said with a smile as he walked in.
Xu Yan was also influenced by the two little ones. Even though she had already seen them when she came back, she was still a little excited when Da Bao and Xiao Bao called out to her.
But at least he managed to restrain himself and didn't join in the shouting.
"You're back," Xu Yan said with a smile.
"Yes," Xie Zhuo nodded.
Then he kissed Da Bao and Xiao Bao on the cheeks, and when his gaze turned to Xu Yan, he covered the two little ones' eyes with his hand and quickly kissed Xu Yan on the forehead as well.
“You…” Xu Yan quickly looked at Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
The little ones were looking at her with puzzled expressions.
Then, she pulled Xie Zhuo's hand down from in front of them, her tone innocent, "Why didn't Third Uncle cover Third Aunt's eyes when he kissed us? And when he kissed Third Aunt—"
Well, what a waste; they saw everything.
"I'll make you some more bayberry juice, would you like?" Xu Yan changed the subject.
"Yes," Da Bao nodded quickly.
While Xu Yan went to get the bayberry jam to mix with water, Xie Zhuo touched his slightly hot ears and sat down.
Today's meal was plentiful, with mostly meat dishes.
The family of four ate to their hearts' content. Xu Yan didn't usually like eating meat, and she only ate meat dishes once or twice a week. But since she transmigrated, she found that she had actually started to love eating meat.
He especially loved braised pork, which he disliked the most in his previous life.
Sweet and fluffy, melting in your mouth, paired with a glass of sweet and sour bayberry juice, it feels like you could eat two more bowls of rice.
Xie Zhu finished the last bit of rice and all the remaining rice before taking a big gulp of bayberry juice.
"Are you full?" Xu Yan patted his stomach.
There was no protrusion, and the thin fabric of the clothes allowed me to feel the abdominal muscles.
"I'm full," Xie Zhuo said.
“Your third uncle can really eat,” Xu Yan said, turning to the two little brats.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao nodded in unison, seeing that their third uncle had indeed eaten several times more than they had.
“You need to eat your fill to grow tall,” Xie Zhuo patted their heads, “otherwise you’ll be short like them.”
Da Bao immediately panicked and turned to Xu Yan, "Third Aunt, I still want to eat."
Xu Yan slapped Xie Zhuo's arm, then looked at Da Bao and said, "If you want to eat, eat it next time. Don't listen to your third uncle. If you eat any more, your little tummy will burst."
“But I don’t want to be a shorty,” Da Bao said.
“When your third uncle was your age, he wasn’t as tall as you,” Xu Yan began to talk nonsense to coax the child. “You have to grow slowly. When you are your third uncle’s age, you will definitely be able to surpass him.”
Xie Zhuo raised an eyebrow.
After cleaning up the kitchen and reading for several hours, Xie Zhuo let Xu Yan experience firsthand the consequences of talking nonsense on the kang (a heated brick bed).
The man's long, slender hands, with some calluses, moved up his long legs.
It paused briefly upon reaching the starting point.
Xu Yan paused, then immediately tried to put his legs together.
Unfortunately, she was straddling someone.
After all that effort, Xie Zhuo's movements became even smoother.
The bayberry juice was really delicious today. Everyone drank quite a bit, especially Xu Yan, who drank two large jugs. Even after brushing his teeth at night, the faint aroma of bayberries still lingered in his mouth.
Like a little bayberry fairy.
Xie Zhuo was enveloped in this fragrance.
Xu Yan had changed from lying face down to lying down, with her hands gripping the edge of the pillow.
His movements were very gentle; his fingertips slowly traced the path from top to bottom, finally stopping at a certain spot and gently pinching it. The little bayberry spirit suddenly trembled.
He raised an eyebrow, a hint of pleasure in his eyes and the corners of his mouth.
Continue down.
His fingers felt like they were electrified.
Xu Yan couldn't help but kick him.
But her movements were restrained, like a proud and beautiful kitten with a little resentment, rubbing against the waist and abdomen of the lion pressing down on her.
The lion squinted its eyes.
"Xie Zhuo," Xu Yan called out to the person in front of him, suppressing the other noises.
"What's wrong, baby?" Xie Zhuo leaned down.
Seeing Xu Yan frowning and biting her lower lip tightly, he gently pinched the tip of her chin with his other hand. "Let go, don't bite yourself."
Because of his gentle yet forceful action, Xu Yan couldn't help but make some soft, cracking sounds.
Xie Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled happily, "So good."
The next second he was kicked.
Xie Zhuo was still smiling, replacing the hand on Xu Yan's chin with the corner of his own lips.
Xu Yan recalled the first time she met Xie Zhuo. At the time, she only thought that he was handsome, didn't talk much, and gave people a very aloof feeling, and was not easy to get along with.
But after we got married, I found that he was only quiet with outsiders, but with family members, he could sit side by side with our two children.
She's quite good at being affectionate.
There were some actions that Xu Yan would never have believed she could do before, but when he looked into her eyes and called her "baby" a few times, she obediently cooperated.
Then you can see someone's eyes crinkling with laughter.
She's sexy yet has a touch of childlike innocence.
Oh no, could she be a hopeless romantic?
Xu Yan's mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts.
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Zhuo looked at her, twirling a strand of her hair between his fingers. "Are you so distracted because I'm not trying hard enough?"
Xu Yan: "..."
"Xie Zhuo, are you sick?" Xu Yan turned her head away.
"Hmm?" Xie Zhuo's eyes were clear, as if he really couldn't understand what she was saying.
"Why do you eat everything?" Xu Yan glared at him.
