Yue Xiyuan leaned down, gently kissed her lips, then pulled her into his arms, patted her back softly, and said, "Sleep."
What?! Yan An thought something was about to happen, but at least it wasn't just a light peck. "Where are you going to sleep tonight?"
"I'll go outside to find them once you're asleep." Yue Xiyuan pulled the blanket around Yan An's other side.
Alright! Yan An turned away, not wanting to pay any attention to Yue Xiyuan, as she hadn't managed to get a single bite of the "duck" she had in her grasp.
Now Yue Xiyuan has finally figured things out, unlike before. He pulled Yan An closer to him, hugging her from behind, and gently breathed into her ear, his warm breath filling her earlobe.
“What An’an thinks is exactly what I think, but An’an needs to wait a few more days. When An’an comes of age, I will bring betrothal gifts to your door and choose a day to marry you. At that time, An’an can do whatever she wants to me. An’an, is that alright?”
Upon hearing his words, Yan An's heart was in turmoil. Her heart pounded rapidly, her cheeks flushed, and then her earlobes burned. Her heart pounded again...
Yue Xiyuan held Yan An in his arms, her flushed cheeks and earlobes were clearly visible to him; his An'an was still shy...
Yan An's skills were all fake; she had only learned them from Gu Yanan in modern times and had never actually practiced them. How could she not be shy when her beloved, incredibly handsome boyfriend was teasing her face to face?
Perhaps it was because she was too tired today, or perhaps it was because the people around her made her feel too safe, but Yan An fell asleep even faster than usual.
Hearing Yan An's soft breathing, Yue Xiyuan knew she was asleep. He gently released her, tucked her in, kissed her forehead, and went outside. There were other people outside, and although their marriage was a done deal, he didn't want to damage Yan An's reputation.
While still soaking in the hot spring, Su Jingzhan saw Yue Xiyuan come out so quickly and exclaimed inwardly: "With my junior sister's unparalleled beauty, even if they weren't married, given their usual deep affection, wouldn't we spend more time together inside? Why did she come out so soon? Could what An San said be true? Could it be that Xiyuan's pride was hurt and he ran away..."
At this moment, Yue Xiyuan had no idea what a fascinating internal struggle was unfolding in Su Jingzhan's mind.
Su Jingzhan was filled with righteous indignation, looking as if he were ready to die. Yue Xiyuan was his good brother, and Yan An was his junior sister. All he wanted was for the two of them to be able to live happily ever after and be loving and affectionate. He wanted to help them solve their problems.
"Xiyuan, if you have any secrets, remember to tell me. We're good brothers, and maybe I can help you out."
Yue Xiyuan pondered for a moment, not knowing what Su Jingzhan meant. He simply assumed it was just a nice remark to avoid getting beaten up, so he just replied with an "Mm" and walked towards Qi Hongchen, lying down on the ground.
When Su Jingzhan heard Yue Xiyuan agree, he thought he was doomed and hurriedly ran out of the hot spring. Su Jingzhan preferred medicine. Although he was good at martial arts, he rarely used it. His muscle definition was slightly worse than Yue Xiyuan's. However, in modern times, Su Jingzhan's physique and appearance were perfect.
Su Jingzhan finished dressing and came to Yue Xiyuan's side. He was about to ask something, but seeing that Yue Xiyuan had his eyes closed, he didn't dare to make a sound.
Although there were chairs inside, they were hard and short, so it was much more comfortable to sleep outside. The grass was soft and fragrant, and there wasn't even an ant, let alone anything else. The three of them gradually fell asleep.
After sleeping for several hours, Yan An touched the blanket and pillow next to her, but did not find Yue Xiyuan. She glanced at the alarm clock next to her and saw that it was exactly 3:00 AM. Yan An changed her clothes, washed up and left the bedroom.
Yan An saw the three of them lying side by side on the ground, a scene that looked rather beautiful. "If only we had a phone or a camera," she thought, "we could have captured this beauty."
Yan An washed some rice and prepared to cook some porridge on the alchemy furnace. Yue Xiyuan heard Yan An get up and said, "I'll start the fire."
"No need, I'll get you a toothbrush. Go wash up. You don't need to worry about this stove; it can start a fire by itself." Yan An didn't know that the things inside were too intelligent. She didn't need to do anything about it, and it could even control the heat when refining medicine.
Yan An had also wanted to ask Old Man Bai Qing and Granny Qi, but neither of them could explain it clearly. They only said that everything was in the hands of fate. Yan An even wanted to take the two of them to explore the space, but they disagreed. Yan An simply decided to make the best of it since they were already there.
Yan An took out three toothbrushes and toothpaste from the lab and handed them to Yue Xiyuan. "This is a toothbrush. Squeeze the toothpaste onto it, put it in your mouth, and brush up and down several times. Then rinse your mouth."
Fortunately, Yan An slept in the laboratory many times during his modern life, and because he needed to wash up every morning and evening, he prepared these things, which are now coming in handy.
After washing up, the three smelled the lean meat porridge in the pot. "It smells so good, Junior Sister. How about we make a deal? When you marry Xiyuan, I'll be part of your dowry and go with you to the Regent's Palace."
It wasn't that he wanted to make objects; the key was that his junior sister had too many good things, and the food she made was something he had never eaten before. When he was a child, the food he ate with his master was like coarse food.
If the Divine Physician Jiugu were alive, he would surely beat him with a stick. When did he treat him so badly? He has no backbone at all.
"Not very good. The Regent's Palace doesn't keep useless people." Yue Xiyuan took the spoon from Yan An and filled bowls with porridge. Qi Hongchen had already taken two bowls. "What are you looking at? Hurry up and take them."
"Oh, don't be so fierce. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go." Su Jingzhan took the two bowls of lean meat porridge and carried them into the house.
Yan An took out a few packets of pickled vegetables from the cabinet and poured them onto a plate. "Eat this for now."
"Hmm...Your Highness, what dish is this? Paired with this porridge, it's truly exquisite." Not only did Su Jingzhan want to accompany her in the dowry, but he himself was also thinking about it.
"These are just some pickled vegetables. If you want some, I'll give you some when you get back, but don't eat too much, as they're too salty and bad for your health."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Ah? Junior sister, I want some too!" Su Jingzhan swallowed a mouthful of porridge. How could he not want something so delicious? He wanted some not only for himself but also for Yuexi.
"Okay, here you go."
Yue Xiyuan and Yan An finished their meal with some reluctance, while Su Jingzhan ate heartily and had a great appetite.
After the group finished cleaning up the dishes, Yan An led them out of the space with a flash of his divine sense. "If all goes well, we can go back tomorrow. Let's look for the northeast direction first."
After saying that, the group headed northeast.
