End of Chen Shi (7-9 AM).
The two girls went to bed late last night because they were keeping watch, and since it's Chinese New Year today, they naturally woke up late as well.
When Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao got up, they immediately saw the three people in the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue sat facing each other.
Unlike the peaceful expression of Yaoyue a few days ago, and compared to Dongfang Bubai's clear-headed and calm demeanor at this moment, Yaoyue was clenching her teeth and glaring angrily, her chest heaving slightly.
Chu Qinghe was still sitting next to the two of them, but there were some obvious differences.
Compared to the past, Chu Qinghe was dressed a little thicker today, and he was holding a sleeve warmer in both hands, as if he was particularly cold.
He would occasionally glance at Yaoyue, then at Dongfang Bubai, a hint of frustration showing on his face.
As the three sat silently in the courtyard, an eerie atmosphere filled the space.
Having just woken up and stepped outside, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao were both bewildered by this scene.
They had no idea how the situation had changed so drastically after waking up.
But sometimes, getting beaten up can actually be beneficial.
Just like Qu Feiyan, seeing the obvious strange feeling among the three people in the courtyard, Qu Feiyan tactfully pulled Xiao Zhao aside.
Even after washing up, she stayed in the kitchen and didn't come out, afraid of being used as a punching bag.
A short while later, the sounds of pots and pans clattering came from the kitchen. At this moment, Dongfang Bubai calmly held his teacup, seemingly ignoring Yaoyue's angry glare.
However, while drinking tea, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but glance at Chu Qinghe beside him.
Seeing Chu Qinghe's depressed expression, Dongfang Bubai found it amusing.
In the heat of the moment, they had all forgotten that Chu Qinghe was still at home and had been acupunctured.
It wasn't until Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai had just fought their way outside the city that they suddenly realized the situation of their man. They rushed back to release Chu Qinghe's pressure points before continuing the fight.
As a result, after Chu Qinghe got up, he immediately put on several more layers of clothing, looking like he was freezing.
However, thinking about what he and Chu Qinghe did last night after he asked Yaoyue to light the lamp, Dongfang Bubai suddenly understood why Yaoyue had gone to such lengths to sneak into Chu Qinghe's room.
Although Dongfang Bubai had heard of such things before, this was his first time experiencing it, and even he found it somewhat strange.
How should I put it?
It's very moisturizing.
Moreover, I felt inexplicably fulfilled and at ease.
In addition, the presence of Yaoyue, who was holding the lantern, added a touch of special feeling to the scene.
Even now, thinking back on it makes Dongfang Bubai's heart beat a little faster.
Looking back, Dongfang Bubai suddenly felt that all the hard work and perseverance he had put in these past few days had not been in vain.
Beside her, seeing Dongfang Bubai with a smile on his lips and his gaze fixed on Chu Qinghe, Yaoyue could no longer contain her anger and crushed the cup in her hand.
Upon hearing the voice, Dongfang Bubai glanced at Yaoyue opposite him and said indifferently, "What? Didn't you light enough lanterns last night? Want to continue tonight?"
It would have been better if she hadn't said those words; as soon as they left her mouth, Yaoyue completely bristled.
Who is Yaoyue?
His arrogance was almost ingrained in his very bones.
And now, this proud and arrogant person is someone who was accidentally tricked by Dongfang Bubai and then acts like a maid, holding a lamp for Dongfang Bubai.
And under such circumstances.
Even ordinary women would find such a thing intolerable, let alone Yaoyue.
This undoubtedly trampled on Yaoyue's arrogance.
Therefore, almost the instant Dongfang Bubai's words entered Yaoyue's ears, Yaoyue gritted her teeth and squeezed out the three words "You're courting death," then raised her palm and struck Dongfang Bubai.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Bubai sneered and then slipped to the side.
As soon as his toes touched a flower, his body suddenly rose high and rushed into the distance.
Upon seeing this, Yaoyue followed without hesitation.
Just as the two women used their lightness skill to leave, Qu Feiyan, who had been busy in the kitchen, poked her head out.
After confirming that Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue had both left, Qu Feiyan approached Chu Qinghe with a gossipy expression and asked, "Young Master, how come Sister Yue and Sister Dongfang's moods have reversed overnight? What happened this morning?"
Faced with Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe, who still felt a chill running through him, replied with a blank expression, "Don't pry into the affairs of adults. Hurry up and go cook."
Seeing that Chu Qinghe didn't say anything, the little girl pouted and walked into the kitchen.
After taking a sip of hot tea, Chu Qinghe felt a deep sadness in his heart.
Suddenly, I realized the trouble caused by my lack of strength.
For example, when faced with a surprise attack from his two wives, he was completely helpless.
Thinking about what happened last night, Chu Qinghe felt both amused and speechless.
However, considering that this is only the first day of the year and they've already come to such a place, if this continues, the situation between the two women will probably not be able to stop.
Furthermore, the fact that Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue both used acupuncture on themselves upon meeting them raises some questions.
Thinking of this, Chu Qinghe looked in the direction the two women had left, his eyes thoughtful.
...
In the evening, during this Spring Festival, even ordinary families who were usually unwilling to be extravagant would light a few oil lamps, and firewood would be lit around the house. They would sit together, suppressing their worries about the coming year deep in their hearts, and with smiles on their faces, they would chat and play with their family members, occasionally taking a sip of wine.
