Chapter 393 The Hunter's Little Darling 54
"You..." Tu Shen fell silent before he could finish speaking, unable to utter a single word.
"My wife~" Tu Shen's hands wanted to move but remained helplessly in place.
He never imagined such a day would come; it felt like a dream.
Xie Qingyu's movements were gentle, yet incredibly irritating.
This has never happened before.
It's hard to control.
But he didn't get discouraged afterwards; he was still in high spirits, as if what he had just eaten was just an appetizer.
Tu Shen immediately moved in and seized the initiative.
"I'll take care of you... No beard, no prickling." Tu Shen's words came through indistinctly.
The bed sheet was torn and deformed, and Xie Qingyu didn't have time to answer Tu Shen's question.
Tu Shen didn't need her answer; he only needed her to experience it firsthand.
Tu Shen is working extra hard today.
Tu Shen was talking a lot today, probably trying to regain his composure in front of Xie Qingyu after his initial lapse in composure.
However, he didn't talk as much later on.
Extreme pleasure makes one oblivious to everything else.
Xie Qingyu's eyes were vacant, her gaze unfocused, and she could no longer see anything clearly.
"So this is where you like the most." Tu Shen's occasional words always had a touch of novelty to them.
Xie Qingyu was still wearing her shawl, and Tu Shen seemed to be deliberately not taking it off, as it felt somewhat comfortable.
The oil lamp burned all night as Tu Shen took in every detail of Xie Qingyu's appearance, wanting to etch it deeply into his mind.
It's as if it wasn't Xie Qingyu who restored the light, but him.
Perhaps because he hadn't gone hunting for two days, Tu Shen had gathered all his strength and gave it all to Xie Qingyu.
When the first rooster crowed, Xie Qingyu thought she was dreaming, as Tu Shen was still moving.
Xie Qingyu weakly kicked out, but he caught her foot and kissed her. "Wait for me, I'll be right there."
Xie Qingyu couldn't remember what happened after that; she didn't know if she had fallen asleep or fainted.
A dark and gloomy night.
Xie Qingyu dreamed that she was on a boat, drifting and unable to reach the shore.
When Xie Qingyu woke up this time, it was already afternoon, and she was even woken up by Tu Shen.
It was already dinnertime, and Tu Shen, worried that she would feel unwell if she didn't eat all day, couldn't help but wake her up.
Xie Qingyu woke up groggily and pushed Tu Shen away, as if she wanted to escape.
It took me a while to come to my senses and realize that it wasn't last night anymore.
Feeling the soreness in her calves, Xie Qingyu glared at Tu Shen with dissatisfaction.
Tu Shen touched his nose, feeling somewhat guilty.
"It was my fault, I won't do it again next time."
Once raw, twice cooked.
Tu Shen's apology this time was so practiced that it was impossible to be angry with him.
As Tu Shen spoke, he kept an eye on Xie Qingyu's expression, then pulled her out of bed, dressed her, and then they ate.
At noon, Tu Shen knew that Xie Qingyu wouldn't wake up, so he just ate something casually. He prepared a more elaborate meal for the afternoon.
Watching Xie Qingyu eat by herself, Tu Shen's gaze remained fixed on her, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
"Starting today, we'll take three days off," Xie Qingyu said.
Tu Shen wouldn't dare to refute this at all.
I did some mental calculations and realized I needed to have a really tough time, maybe three days would be enough.
He might go into the mountains for two days, so I'll have my cousin come over to keep him company since he won't be home.
So he nodded without hesitation.
"My cousin came over this afternoon. I could tell she wasn't in a good mood, so I didn't let her bother you. She said she wanted that kind of dish, so I told her to come over tomorrow," Tu Shen said to Xie Qingyu while eating.
Xie Qingyu hadn't thought anything of it at first, but when she heard her cousin coming over, she paused and looked at Tu Shen reproachfully, "She's here and I haven't gotten up yet. What will she think of me?"
Tu Shen smiled and said, "I told her that you got up early this morning, so you went to catch up on your sleep this afternoon."
"Did she believe it?"
"Of course I believe it."
Thinking about it, it does seem to make sense; it's the kind of thing my cousin would believe.
Having slept a lot during the day, Xie Qingyu couldn't sleep at night either. Instead of rushing to bed, she brewed a pot of tea in the courtyard and observed the celestial phenomena.
I don't know if it's because we're on a mountain, but the stars seem very close, and each one is very bright.
The gentle moonlight spilled onto the earth, and the courtyard was bright enough to see the surrounding scenery without needing to light an oil lamp.
It was a bit chilly when the breeze blew, but fortunately the two of them had the foresight to dress warmly. The wind felt refreshing and invigorating, and any worries they might have were likely blown away by it.
The people living in the mountains have homemade fruits that repel mosquitoes. They don't know what they are, but after picking them, they put them in their yards. Even after they dry out and rot, they still have a good mosquito-repelling effect, so they don't have to worry about mosquitoes in their yards.
A quiet night, with a sense of peaceful tranquility.
"Do you want to live on the mountain, or at the foot of the mountain?" Tu Shen looked at Xie Qingyu with a very serious gaze, indicating that his question was not something he had thought of suddenly, but rather something he had considered carefully.
"Do you want to go down the mountain?" Xie Qingyu didn't know why he suddenly asked this, so she asked him in return.
“It’s not very convenient up on the mountain. Now that you can see, I’m afraid you’ll get tired of the flowers and plants and think it’s more interesting to come down the mountain.” Tu Shen’s face showed concern.
Tu Shen was worried that Xie Qingyu wouldn't be used to being on the mountain, and since she could see, she could do even more things.
"It's alright. I haven't really looked at this mountain properly yet, and wouldn't it be quite troublesome to settle down here?" Xie Qingyu didn't know the answer, but she could guess a thing or two.
Otherwise, given how harsh life is on the mountain, there must be a reason why these people haven't tried to move down to the foot of the mountain.
“It might take some time to save up the money. Without a local household registration, the village won’t accept you. It’s possible in the city, but you’ll need to pull strings…” Tu Shen explained. The money needed to go down the mountain was too much, and even though they had some money now, it was far from enough.
Xie Qingyu shook her head, "It's nice up in the mountains."
"Then let's wait until next year when we go down the mountain to see if we can hear any news about your parents." Tu Shen knew about Xie Qingyu's family situation.
Tu Shen knew about Xie Qingyu's situation from the very beginning, right after Xie Qingyu married into the family.
It was only after finding out that he realized how much of a bargain he had gotten. If it weren't for the accident involving Xie's parents, he would never have met a girl like Xie Qingyu in his entire life, let alone married her.
Although it's almost certain that Xie's parents are in grave danger, we still need to go and check on them.
Even though he was afraid that if he were still alive, people might have a problem with him.
“Okay,” Xie Qingyu replied.
