Gu Qichen was cured by Xia Yangyang’s calling him ‘husband’.
She is more and more naturally referring to him that way now.
Gu Qichen also took a bite.
The perfectly roasted sweet potato, sweet, soft, and lt-in-your-mouth, triggered a mory of the first ti he kissed Xia Yangyang.
It was a similarly sweet taste.
When he looked at her, he saw Xia Yangyang eagerly looking at him, asking expectantly, “How is it, how does it taste, is it sweet?”
With a faint smile, Gu Qichen said, “Pretty good, tastes sowhat like you.”
Yangyang frowned, “Your analogy is quite strange.”
She then busied herself with the corn she was roasting over the fire.
Yangyang, engrossed in her task, didn’t guess what her husband was thinking as he munched on the sweet potato.
While gnawing on her corn, Yangyang started telling stories from her childhood, “When I was little, I loved staying at my grandma’s house. She had all sorts of foods we couldn’t find in the city – lons in sumr, sweet potatoes in winter. I even once followed a neighbour’s boy to catch a beehive for honey, and ended up stung all over and in the hospital. Another ti, I fed all of granny’s corn seeds, ant for planting the following year, to the sheep. Granny was so angry she chased around the yard with a broom.”
Recalling these embarrassing tales from her past, Yangyang couldn’t help but giggle.
Gu Qichen, however, listened attentively, his gaze towards her filled with indulgence.
“I did not imagine you were so mischievous as a child.”
Yangyang was indeed naughty as a child. Instead of adhering to the rules, she loved to climb trees and catch fish with boys. She would always be at the front despite being the youngest.
But ever since her mother passed away, she stopped having such carefree fun.
Yangyang sighed heavily: “I really cherish those childhood tis. If only we didn’t have to grow up, there wouldn’t be so many troubles.”
It seed like sothing ca to her mind, and she gently kicked the firepit with her shoe.
“Miss Xia, you have married the best man in the world, why would you still have troubles?”
Yangyang rolled her eyes at Gu Qichen: “You know, you look like you badly need a smack when you’re being narcissistic.”
“Really? I’ve always thought my narcissism is rather charming.”
This man was too far gone to be redeed.
However, in tonight’s darkness, Gu Qichen’s handso face seed even more dazzling than the starry sky above.
He was near perfect, void of any flaw. Even the curve of his jaw seed chiseled, and the glint of laughter in his eyes, so different from his usual stern deanor, made hearts race.
He had just bathed, his hair still slightly wet, while his face was exceptionally clean.
This man certainly had the right to be narcissistic.
Looking at his face, Yangyang was sowhat “jealous”.
She suddenly reached out and sared her hand across Gu Qichen’s clean face.
Her hand was covered in soot from roasting sweet potatoes, turning his face into a canvas of black smudges.
Yangyang laughed out loud, pointing at Gu Qichen’s face, “Big tabby cat, Gu Qichen is a big tabby cat.”
A sudden shadow fell across Gu Qichen’s face.
A sense of unease crept into Yangyang’s heart.
Gu Qichen was known for his cleanliness, having just bathed and all. She was worried her teasing might have upset him.
But the next mont, Gu Qichen cupped Yangyang’s face and planted a firm kiss on her lips…
