Han Yixian looked at his fiancée, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and felt her warm and soft body filling his embrace. How wonderful it would be if he could see such a scene every morning when he opened his eyes.
With He Yuhan in his arms early in the morning, Han Yixian's body naturally reacted.
He suppressed his body's reaction and tried to calm himself down so as not to frighten He Yuhan.
Seeing that He Yuhan was sleeping soundly in his arms and showed no signs of waking up, Han Yixian was afraid of waking her up, so he didn't get up and was willing to be his wife's pillow and stove.
When He Yuhan woke up groggily, she felt comfortable and warm all over. There was a source of warmth emanating from her, and she snuggled forward, wanting to get closer to that source of warmth.
She opened her eyes when she felt something throbbing under her hand and found that her hand was right on Han Yixian's chest, right over his heart. No wonder she could feel the heartbeat.
Then she heard Han Yixian's magnetic voice from above her head, "Awake? Did you sleep well?"
He Yuhan looked up at the handsome face in front of her and smiled, "Very good, I sleep very comfortably with you, my big furnace, by my side."
Han Yixian chuckled and said, "How about I be your stove every day from now on? I guarantee you won't be cold when you sleep at night."
He Yuhan pouted jokingly and said, "No, I don't want a stove in the summer, I'll die of heat."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "It's okay, my body is cool in the summer, I can cool you down."
He Yuhan stepped out of Han Yixian's embrace and said, "I don't believe you. Everyone gets hot in the summer."
Han Yi squeezed He Yuhan's hand and smiled, "You can try it this summer."
He Yuhan blushed and sat up, changing the subject by saying, "What time is it? Shouldn't we get up?"
Han Yixian stood up, picked up his watch from the table next to him, looked at it, and said, "It's just past seven."
Upon hearing this, He Yuhan quickly said, "It's already past seven o'clock, get up quickly. It would be so embarrassing if someone came and we weren't up yet."
Both of them were sleeping in their pajamas, so there wasn't much awkwardness at the moment.
Han Yi stopped He Yuhan, who was about to get up, and said, "Don't get up yet, lie down for a while longer. It's too cold outside. Let me light a charcoal brazier to warm the room first. Don't worry, not many people know I live here, no one will come."
"You can get up after I make breakfast. Listen to me, lie down a little longer."
It's not yet the end of the first month of the lunar calendar, and the weather in Kyoto is still very cold. He Yuhan had already felt the chill outside the blankets. The charcoal brazier that was burning yesterday had long since gone out, and the room was extremely cold. It was only slightly better inside the warm blankets.
He Yuhan didn't act coy and simply shrank back under the covers.
Han Yixian quickly got up, dressed, and took a charcoal brazier outside. Not long after, he brought a brazier of burnt charcoal into the house and placed it in the center of the room.
Then he turned on the stove and started boiling water to cook.
He Yuhan felt very comfortable on this warm morning. It would be nice to live like this in the future. She had a loving husband and loving parents. It would be even better if she had a few more children.
Han Yixian had just taken the cooked porridge off the stove when he heard a deafening knocking on the door.
He had no choice but to open the door, otherwise he would disturb the neighbors.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw his second cousin Yuan Qihua and his youngest cousin Yuan Qiwen standing outside. His youngest cousin was raising his hand, ready to knock on the door again. It was obvious that the loud knocking earlier was done by this kid.
As soon as Yuan Qiwen saw his cousin open the door, he hurriedly asked, "Cousin, where's Yuhan? How is she? Is she alright?"
Han Yixian rolled his eyes at his younger cousin and said, "Can't you be a little more composed? Knocking on the door so loudly first thing in the morning, aren't you afraid of disturbing the neighbors?"
Yuan Qiwen scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "I was just in a hurry to see Yuhan, wasn't I? Cousin, is Yuhan alright?"
Han Yi first let his two cousins in and closed the door, saying, "Yuhan is fine and has not been hurt. Please don't make a loud noise. Yuhan has been worried and hasn't rested well these past few days. I'm letting her rest a bit more."
How did you find your way here?
At this moment, Yuan Qihua spoke up, "Qiwen has been staying at my place for the past few days. He calls his uncle every day to ask about his cousin's wife. Yesterday, when he heard that you had safely rescued her, he wanted to come over."
I thought you must be very tired and need to rest, so I stopped him from coming. But this morning he insisted that I bring him to see you.
We came over after asking for your address, Uncle.
Han Yi nodded and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll make some extra later, and you can eat together. Please sit in the living room for a while."
After saying that, Han Yixian poured a basin of warm water and went into the bedroom, where he saw that He Yuhan had already gotten up.
He Yuhan asked, "Is that Qiwen?"
Han Yi first placed the basin on the stool and said, "Who else could be knocking on the door so early in the morning but him? Yuhan, wash your face with hot water first."
He Yuhan felt sweet inside seeing how well Han Yixian was taking care of her. "Brother Han, don't bother, I can do it myself."
Han Yi put the towel aside and said, "Then you wash up first, I'll go cook."
Han Yi went into the kitchen first to prepare scallion pancakes. This was his specialty.
Yuan Qihua was very curious when he saw his cousin going in and out of the kitchen. When did his wise and capable cousin learn to cook?
He nudged his underling and whispered, "Can my cousin cook? Is his cooking edible?"
Yuan Qiwen looked at his second brother's curious expression and laughed, "Second brother, you're quite ignorant. Eldest cousin has already learned to cook. He's learning to prepare food for Yuhan in the future."
We're only able to eat my cousin's cooking today thanks to Yuhan. Don't worry, my cousin learned his cooking from Yuhan, and it's really good. You'll see for yourself when you try it."
Yuan Qihua was still quite curious to come to the kitchen and see his older cousin cooking methodically; he was clearly an expert.
He was inwardly amazed. His older cousin had been raised by his maternal grandfather using an elite education, excelling in every aspect. However, his grandfather had always taught him that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. Therefore, his older cousin had never learned to cook from childhood to adulthood.
Later, when he went out more often, he no longer needed to cook for himself, because he always had someone with him to take care of his life.
Even when he did cook, it was limited to simply cooking rice; I've never seen my older cousin stir-fry any dishes.
Now, my older cousin has become quite the expert, cooking with ease. The power of love is truly amazing!
After washing up with the hot water prepared by Han Yixian, He Yuhan came to the living room and saw Han Yixian carrying millet porridge into the living room, followed by Yuan Qiwen and a tall, handsome young man with glasses.
He Yuhan wondered if this was Yuan Qihua, the famous but never met second brother of Yuan Qiwen.
