At four quarters past five in the morning the next day, Hua Qingcheng, who had a good night's sleep, woke up from a sweet dream, only to find herself hugging a handsome man, with one of her legs resting on him.
Hua Qingcheng's face flushed instantly, her heart pounding. In modern times, at 27 years old and single, she had never even held a boy's hand.
Hua Qingcheng was dumbfounded at her own indescribable sleeping posture. She was so frightened that she quickly removed her hands from Mu Lige's waist and lowered her legs. She had never expected her sleeping posture to be so bad. It was horrible. She was simply playing with fire.
Hua Qingcheng had once been an undercover nun. She then recited the "Pure Heart and Universal Good Mantra" to herself. After calming her mind, she thought that she had to be more careful in the future. A man and a woman were alone in the same room, and if they were not careful, it would be troublesome.
While the other person was still asleep, Hua Qingcheng tiptoed out of bed, quickly put on her coat, casually tied her hair into a high ponytail, and ran out of the room as if escaping.
Mu Lige slowly opened his eyes on the bed, his lips curling slightly. He had half-closed his eyes just now, but he had seen the woman's startled movements and the sutras she was chanting clearly. He hadn't expected his little wife to be so adorable.
After Hua Qingcheng left, Mu Lige also got up, put on his clothes and walked out of the room, just in time to meet Yu Xiaotian who was cleaning the yard.
"Brother, you...how did you come out of my wife's room?"
Suddenly he remembered what his father-in-law said last night and opened his eyes wide in shock.
"You, you, are you not..."
Seeing Yu Xiaotian's surprised face, Mu Lige reached out a hand and patted his shoulder, saying earnestly: "We are both the wife's husband, and it is only a matter of time before we consummate our marriage with her. Let's go and have breakfast first!"
Yu Xiaotian was petrified on the spot. After being stunned for a moment, he trotted to catch up with Mu Lige and walked towards the front yard together.
Today was Situ Ye's turn to cook. When Hua Qingcheng finished washing up at the well and came to the main room, Situ Ye had already placed the prepared food on the table. After everyone arrived, Hua Qingcheng announced that dinner was served.
Situ Ye prepared a pot of slightly sticky rice porridge, accompanied by a dish of pickled meat, bamboo shoots, and stir-fried wild vegetables. However, the porridge tasted strange, with a burnt taste. The bamboo shoots, unblanched, tasted bitter. The wild vegetables looked alright, though, if you ignored the numbingly salty flavor.
Mu Lige, Han Yichen and Yu Xiaotian seemed to have a premonition. They just lowered their heads to eat the rice porridge in their bowls, without even touching the food on the plates with their chopsticks.
Looking at his wife, whose face was distorted with food, Situ Ye's resolute face flushed slightly. He had always felt inferior because of his ugly appearance. Now that he was married and his cooking skills were not good, he had condescended to cook for her himself. Why was she still so irritated? Situ Ye could not help but feel angry.
"Wife, I know I'm ugly. I'm not as virtuous and generous as my eldest brother, nor as fair and pretty as my third brother, nor as innocent and lovely as my fourth brother. But I got up early in the morning and worked hard to cook the meal. You look so miserable. Do you mean you despise me?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Lige, Han Yichen and Yu Xiaotian immediately lowered their heads and concentrated on eating.
Hua Qingcheng, who had been caught in the crossfire for no apparent reason, was stunned. The porridge had a burnt smell, but it was barely edible. But this dish was truly inedible! Seeing her second husband's furious expression, she was afraid she couldn't tell him the truth at this moment.
And what was the point of being ugly? She seriously suspected that the other party was implying something about her.
Hua Qingcheng glanced at Situ Ye again with an uneasy look: tall and straight figure, healthy and beautiful wheat-colored skin, thick and heroic eyebrows, large and bright black eyes, a tall and straight nose, and angular lips...
This guy is definitely a handsome, sunny, and very manly guy! If he were in modern times, he would be able to debut in a minute and make a group of little fans scream, right? What's so ugly about him?
"No, no, no... no! You cooked very well, and the food tasted great. I was just enjoying it so much that I felt like that!"
As an excellent agent, Hua Qingcheng has a very strong desire to survive.
"real?"
Situ Ye looked skeptical.
"More real than pearls!"
Hua Qingcheng was afraid that the other party would not believe her, so she quickly nodded her head like a chick eating rice.
"Since you like it, my wife, then you can eat more."
Situ Ye brought both dishes to Hua Qingcheng and looked at her expectantly.
When Hua Qingcheng turned her gaze to Mu Lige, Han Yichen, and Yu Xiaotian for help, they all said in unison, "We're all full, enjoy your meal!" Then they disappeared, disappeared, disappeared...
Hua Qingcheng was left standing there, facing Situ Ye's gaze, eating three bowls of porridge with tears in her eyes along with two dishes.
After finishing the meal, she did not forget to say: "You are not ugly at all!"
"real?"
Situ Ye, who had been told that he was ugly and could not get married since childhood, looked at Hua Qingcheng uncomfortably.
Being stared at by a handsome guy with fiery eyes, Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but blush slightly no matter how thick-skinned she was.
"Of course it's true!"
"Our Erlang is not only not ugly, but also quite handsome!"
Although Situ Ye's appearance did not meet Laifeng Country's definition of a handsome man, in Hua Qingcheng's eyes, every aspect of him met her aesthetic standards.
Hua Qingcheng stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the side of his face, and then, cupping her hot, red cheeks, ran away. Of course she had to run. If she didn't, she was afraid she would not be able to resist and would have done it to him right there.
Situ Ye raised his hand and stroked the place where Hua Qingcheng had kissed him. He stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to come back to his senses. The warm touch on his face was still there, but the culprit had already fled and escaped.
"Let's go, wife!"
Hua Qingcheng ran to the big tree in the front yard and sat on a big rock. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her.
"Where are you going?"
Hua Qingcheng's face is still a little hot and her head is a little dizzy.
Mu Lige couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
"Didn't we agree to go to town together?"
"The oxcart from the village head's house to the town leaves at noon. We still have a quarter of an hour left. If we don't get there now, we'll miss it."
As luck would have it, when Hua Qingcheng kissed Situ Ye just now, this scene was seen by Mu Lige who came to find her.
Last night, my wife didn't even want to touch me. When she got up just now, she saw me hugging her and quickly moved away. But just now, she took the initiative to kiss my second brother...
For some reason, Mu Lige felt a little sour and blocked in his heart, so his words were a little harsh.
After hearing Mu Lige's words, Hua Qingcheng came back to her senses.
"Oh, yes, yes! Then let's get going!"
