"Does it taste good?" "Have another piece!" She remembered he liked sweets. As a result, she propped her cheek with one hand, feeding him a leisurely pace, and ended up feeding him the entire plate of lotus seed pastries. When he saw the empty plate, he suddenly felt embarrassed and then stood up without saying anything, soon returning with another dessert. Feeding him seemed to be one of her simple pleasures in life. Only this time, no matter what, he refused to eat any more and instead imitated her, picking up a small piece of cake and feeding it into her mouth. With a smile, she suddenly remembered a saying. She couldn’t remember where she heard it. "Life is already difficult, so eat a lot of sugar, because sugar is sweet; it can at least sweeten the mouth." Suddenly she stretched out her little hand and vigorously ruffled his hair, "Why are you so well-behaved?" Indeed, despite his stoic demeanor, she felt that among all her husbands, Haoming was the most obedient. In the past, she had thought Yixuan was obedient, but Yixuan was like a sesame rice ball with its black sesame filling hidden under a tender white exterior; whereas Lao Si, who seemed cold and was sparing with his words, truly was very obedient. He felt confused for a moment, "Obedient?" "Yes, my good boy!" She laughed and pinched his nose, he felt a bit embarrassed and quickly poured a cup of tea to calm himself. In the afternoon, she went next door to see Liang Zhichen. She had named the Unnamed Gu that lived on poison "Greedy Gu," which was now situated in Zhi Chen’s chest. His right side, arm, shoulder, and half of his neck had reverted from the purplish-blue to their normal fair complexion. She thought that in a short while, once all the toxins in his body were eliminated by the Greedy Gu, Zhi Chen would wake up. Later, she took Lao Si out for a stroll. They heard about the female leader from The Outside who had died in the river last night. She also encountered Tie Yi, who was on a business trip. Tie Yi was contacting former members of Shenglong Hall, planning to rebuild it. After a casual look around, she bought some local specialties from the Golden Triangle. Once Zhi Chen woke up, they could go home. As for the two kinds of herbs in the hands of Chen Ahhu of the Fierce Tiger Sect, they had been secretly delivered to Weiyuan Hall this morning. A letter from Chen Ahhu himself accompanied the herbs. She didn’t know how Chen Ahhu had found the information, but he knew that Gold Respect (Liang Zhi Chen) was hiding in Weiyuan Hall. The letter was mainly to thank Gold Respect, and the herbs were his gift of gratitude. Suddenly, Lao Si stopped outside a shop, blankly staring at the wooden figurines displayed by the shopkeeper. The wooden figurines were only palm-sized, but they were well-crafted and quite intricate. Dong Huiying didn’t call him; she just quietly stood by his side, lost in gazing at the wooden figurines, drawing puzzled looks from passersby who might have thought they were two mentally ill patients. When Lao Si finally came to his senses, he saw his little wife’s fair face flushed red from the harsh sun. He frowned slightly, then went to a street vendor and returned with a paper umbrella. Opening the umbrella, he held it over her head. He was a man of few words but many actions; his love was not spoken but shown through his deeds. She smiled, then walked into the wood carving shop: "Shopkeeper, I want this one!" This was a little figurine carved from white wood, representing a man. Lao Si had stood outside the shop for so long exactly because of this figurine, staring at this wooden doll.
