You Ran shook her arms, feeling a headache coming on as she looked at the huge pile of seashells.
"Ugh, so tiring. For the first time, I'm actually annoyed by money!"
Huang Yu carefully counted them, a hundred in a string, and smiled.
"I think you're not annoyed by money, you just don't want to count it."
Long Yin lay down on the animal skin carpet behind him: "Don't even mention You Ran, I'm so tired too."
"How about I find two people to count them together?"
"Ah, yes, yes, I agree!"
Hu Zhong nodded repeatedly. Usually, he would have already gone home to sleep by this time. Heaven help him, tonight he was still sitting on the ground counting to three.
Xuan Feng shrugged: "I have no objection, but this house is only so big. I don't know if it will be able to fit a few more people!"
"Just bear with it a little longer, there's not much left."
Luo Bai took a deep breath; it was the first time he had ever realized that counting money was such a tiring job.
Mu Youran stood up and jumped around to loosen her muscles.
"Let it go this time. Next time, we'll just send the money to the lending bank and let them count it."
Ying Yao shook his head with amusement; he had suggested sending it to the loan company from the beginning.
However, these few people, especially You Ran, Hu Zhong, Luo Bai, and Long Yin, insisted on experiencing what it felt like to count money until their hands cramped.
This time, I'm really going to get a cramp!
Everyone was counting intently, and no one said a word.
Mu Youran picked up the last seashell and skewered it, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Finally finished, I'm exhausted!"
With a deft twist of his fingers, he tied a tight knot and tossed it aside!
"sleep!"
Huang Yu stood up: "Don't sleep yet, you're covered in dust, wash up first!"
Upon hearing this, Long Yin's eyes lit up and he immediately pulled up You Ran, who had collapsed on the ground.
“Huang Yu is right. Let’s go take a bath.”
Mu Youran just wanted to rest for a while before washing up; she was just too tired.
However, seeing that Huang Yu and the others were going to wash up, he followed them.
Xuan Feng pushed open the door, and there was a huge pool in the back garden!
Mu Youran stared in disbelief at the beautiful pool. It wasn't deep; one could even see the pebbles at the bottom by the help of the torches around her.
The edge of the pool was made of smooth bluestone slabs, and the surrounding area was filled with various flowers, making it feel like an open-air high-end bathhouse.
"This place is so beautiful!"
Ying Yao and Huang Yu exchanged glances and smiled knowingly. They had all designed and built this courtyard themselves.
Just to surprise her.
"I'm glad you like it."
Mu Youran glanced at the wildflowers beside her, which were in full bloom: "Of course I like such a beautiful place."
She then reached out to scoop up some water to wash her face, but was stopped by Huang Yu.
"Don't rush, let me heat it up!"
As he spoke, a golden fireball stopped on the water's surface, and in the blink of an eye, white smoke began to rise from the water.
"It's ready!"
Mu Youran reached out to test the water temperature, her face beaming with a smile: "Just right!"
The next moment, Long Yin stripped himself naked and jumped down with a thud, splashing hot water all over You Ran.
My dress instantly became soaked, which was very uncomfortable!
"Get down quickly, the water will get cold soon!"
She glanced instinctively into the water and saw that the five of them had already gone in; their clothes were lying at her feet.
This was the first time she had ever seen several male figures on screen at the same time.
I felt a warm current rush to my head, and my head felt dizzy.
Xuan Feng swam to her side and reached out his hand to her: "Come down, I'll help you."
Mu Youran knew what would happen if she went down there.
There are five of them!
She definitely won't be able to handle it!
She was so frightened that she wanted to back away; she didn't want to be unable to get out of bed tomorrow.
He clutched his clothes tightly, forcing an awkward smile: "No need, I'll just wash my face with cold water when I get back."
Seeing her like this, they naturally knew what You Ran was thinking.
But tonight is different.
She has to come, whether she wants to or not!
Seeing that she was about to run away, Luo Bai grabbed her with his long arm and dragged her directly into the water.
Ah~
The sudden turn of events made her scream instantly.
God knows, she's afraid of water, and being attacked so suddenly, her heart was pounding in her chest.
When Xuanfeng saw her fall into the water, he pulled her up with force and couldn't resist being the first person to eat the peach that night.
He lowered his head and kissed her lips: "What are you afraid of? We're all here for you."
Mu Youran looked around and saw that Huang Yu, Luo Bai, Ying Yao, Long Yin, and Xuan Feng had already formed a circle around her.
It seems I can't escape it tonight.
However, the spring scenery that filled the courtyard soon captivated her.
Everyone here is someone she cherishes dearly, and tonight is their grand wedding night.
In the quiet night, the sound of flowing water, combined with the chirping of insects, is like a beautiful symphony.
The full moon, hanging high in the sky, stared in disbelief at the scene of the pond in the backyard below, and shyly hid in the colorful clouds beside it.
However, some children would still curiously peek out from time to time until dawn broke, at which point they would reluctantly return home.
It went home to rest, but You Ran was still down below.
Luo Bai and Xuan Feng brought food and fed it to You Ran little by little.
With a face full of doting affection: "Come on, eat more, so you'll have energy later."
...
Hu Zhong stood at the gate and looked inside.
"The prince and the others haven't come out yet?"
The guard at the gate shook his head: "Reporting to the captain, not only the prince, but also the Great Witch Queen has not come out for four days."
Hu Zhong paced back and forth anxiously.
These people didn't come out, and he's not stupid; he knows what they're doing inside.
But there's a real emergency right now. The Beast King sent him yesterday to invite the Queen over.
I haven't gone yet, and I'm sure I'll get yelled at soon!
"If they come out, please tell the Queen that the Beast King wants to see her."
The guard nodded in agreement.
Two days later, Mu Youran finally got out of bed.
Huang Yu carefully moved a deck chair for her in the garden and covered her with a soft animal skin blanket.
He gently touched her dark circles under her eyes: "You should rest well. I'll go get you something to eat."
Mu Youran turned her head and impatiently brushed his hand away: "Hurry up and leave, I get annoyed just looking at you guys!"
Now, when she closes her eyes, she sees these people's flea-like, energetic faces.
Out of sight, out of mind!
She vowed never to indulge in such behavior again. It was too tiring, and the reversed day and night schedule led to long sleeps. Sleeping for too long made her whole body ache and she felt uncomfortable everywhere!
That's just asking for trouble!
