It was nearly time for lunch when Big Brother finally came out of the wife’s main house. Yixuan’s eyes darkened briefly before he turned his head and caught sight of the bullwhip Dong Xinyuan had bought from town today; the plump sister had hinted that it was very nourishing. Narrowing his eyes, Yixuan then chopped it into two halves with a loud clang! At the very moment, Liang Zhichen saw the entire scene: "..." During the lunch, Dong Huiying was initially too shy to face anyone, lingering in the house for quite some time, mentally preparing herself thoroughly until she seemed to have come to terms with it, then stepped out boldly as if nothing had happened. Just as she stepped out, she encountered Lao Si, Haoming looking at her with a gaze as deep and vast as the black sea. She laughed nervously, feeling guilty. Haoming stared at her for a long while, then turned away with a stoic face. At mealtime, everyone was present except Shujun who was in town. Lao Wu, Liang Yuening glanced at the table, scratched his neck confusedly, "Yixuan, what is this ugly thing? It’s really ruining my appetite." Yixuan gave a hollow laugh and pushed a bowl of bloody soup towards Big Brother: "Big Brother is tired, he needs to replenish." "Tired? How did Big Brother get tired? Wasn’t it just a trip to Anyang Village yesterday?" As the big brother, Liang Zhichen: "..." Little Liu is thoughtful." Yixuan smiled, "Big Brother, you are too modest." Shu Yu, holding a cup of plain water, glanced at Big Brother smiling yet not smiling, then coolly eyed the wife sitting between her and Big Brother, who was burying her face in the bowl, silent. "Heh~~~" Shu Yu saw but didn’t say. In this family, Little Wu was probably the most naive; he really must have been born backward; even more brother-like than Little Liu, silly as he was. Liang Yuening · Silly: "..." Was he being scorned by Second Brother again? What did he say wrong? In the end, Big Brother didn’t even touch the bloody soup but instead pushed it towards Little Liu, "I think Yixuan you might need some nourishment as well, lest when the time comes, your body can’t keep up." In the afternoon, Dong Huiying felt a bit tired, yawning continuously, but didn’t think much of it since she spent yesterday afternoon going wild at the hot springs in the mountain cavern with Liang Zhichen, and they continued from last night until noon today. It was only natural to feel tired or sleepy. After dinner, she went back to her room, and the moment her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep. So when Shu Yu came to the wife’s main house bearing Big Brother’s scrutinizing gaze, she found the carefree woman sleeping like a little piglet. The last time he visited the wife’s room, the quilt was brought over by Yixuan. But today, with Yixuan in a bad mood, he had to fend for himself and slowly came carrying the quilt. Arriving beside the heated brick bed, he let out an ambiguous hum, slowly arranged his bedding, slowly took off his jacket, leaving only his undershirt on, and slowly crawled into the covers. Glancing at the woman sleeping beside him, he curled his lips and then closed his eyes. In the middle of the night. In her sleep, Dong Huiying felt as if her body was on fire; she uncomfortably tore open her robe. She swallowed with difficulty, her mouth very dry. Her blurry consciousness told her something was not quite right, but her thoughts were not clear in the dream, and she couldn’t figure out what exactly was going on.
