"Doctor Yu says you need to rest for three months, so there's no rush," Qi Chong said seriously.
"Look at the end of my bed; the frame is falling apart. The slats are almost broken too. I’m worried that one day, if I roll over in my sleep, the whole bed will collapse," he continued.
So the bed really is broken! Yu Chunmiao thought about escaping to the center of the earth.
"How serious is it? Let me take a look." Without suspicion, Yu Chunmiao pretended to inspect the bed, checking here and there. It did seem like the legs were cracked; what kind of wood is this?
Qi Chong smirked, resting his fist against his nose as he watched her clumsy performance. She was so funny and adorable.
Since Chen Ruolan saw them lying together that day, their relationship had clearly grown closer, and she had been thinking about arranging their marriage. However, Qi Chong's leg was still injured, so for now, she would prepare things. With her son at home, they could start by making a set of furniture, especially a bed.
As someone who had been through it all, she knew that her eldest son and his two younger brothers' rooms were right next door. Qi Chong was just like his father; with all that noise, they would disturb the whole family’s sleep.
Qi Chong had completely accepted Yu Chunmiao and opened his heart to her. When his mother brought it up, he felt happy. However, a mere Selling Contract was far from enough.
There were people in the village who had bought brides before—some regretted it and sold them off again, while others ran away with the Selling Contract. A woman bought in such a way held a status lower than even a donkey in the household. Even if she stayed to bear children and manage the household, she would still be looked down upon by her children and family.
He should give her a marriage certificate; Yu Chunmiao should be the legitimate wife of the Qi family’s first branch and be respected by every family member.
After two days of sunny weather, Qi Yuan and Qi Rong set off early in the morning to go up the mountain. Chen Ruolan was responsible for going to town to buy medicine for herself and Qi Chong.
At home, only Yu Chunmiao remained. She snuggled into Qi Chong's arms and whined, "Let me go tomorrow; I want to pick mushrooms too! It’s so much fun."
Since she was little, her favorite thing to do was go up the mountain with her grandmother to gather ferns and pick mushrooms. The thrill of collecting little by little had become addictive for her.
Qi Chong rested his chin on her forehead and said, "They’re at the Red Mushroom spot today; they have to cross two mountain ridges. There are snakes, wild boars, and wolves there—you can't go."
Yu Chunmiao pouted defiantly and complained with a teary voice, "But why can they go? They’re not afraid of snakes or wild boars or wolves!"
Qi Chong pinched her chin seriously and said, "Haven't you seen how fearless Qi Rong is when climbing trees? They aren't scared of those things at all."
Yu Chunmiao looked like she might cry, which made Qi Chong's heart flutter. His gaze unconsciously drifted to her pouting lips.
They were soft and pink—so cute! He wondered what they would taste like.
His dark, intense eyes fell on Yu Chunmiao’s face; she recognized that look. It was the same look Coach Wang had given her once when he was half a head shorter than her and skinny as a rail, which made her push him away and run off.
But with Qi Chong, that look was both tempting and alluring. It felt like a magnet pulling her in tightly like a little iron nail drawn to him.
Was this the moment for her first kiss? Yu Chunmiao's heart raced wildly, like a startled fawn darting about.
Come on, kiss me until I lose my senses.
She leaned in closer to Qi Chong, slowly closing her eyes. The man's presence drew nearer, and even with her eyes shut, she could feel his warmth rising.
"Chen Ruolan, you come out here!" A sharp female voice called from outside the courtyard.
