After hearing Xiaodan's words, Li Yang rode home first. Old Mom was cooking in the kitchen, and she was overjoyed to see her son return.
"Why didn't you bring Xiaodan back?" Ever since Xiaodan had attended her older brother's wedding, Old Mom had unconsciously treated her like her own daughter-in-law, so she asked Li Yang.
"She went to Yiyang to provide support. I'll pick her up later, and we'll have dinner at home tonight."
Li Yang smiled as he walked into the kitchen. A wave of heat hit him head-on, making him want to rush right back out. Cooking in summer really was hard work.
"Then go buy some cold dishes from the roadside. You should've told me earlier, or I would've made more food."
Looking at the simple stir-fried shredded potatoes, Old Mom felt the meal was a little plain and wanted Li Yang to get a few more dishes for Xiaodan.
"It's fine, Mom. We can buy some from the roadside when we get back," Li Yang said as he retreated into the courtyard to enjoy the cool breeze.
Just then, the phone rang, and Li Yang hurriedly answered it.
"Hubby, come on over. I'm almost at the station," Yue Xiaodan's sweet voice came through the phone.
"Okay, wifey. I'll be right there." Li Yang said goodbye to Old Mom and rushed out at top speed.
At the bus stop on Heluo Road, Li Yang was like an ant on a hot pan, constantly looking back and forth at the traffic coming from the west. Before long, the minibus finally arrived.
Like a cheerful little bird, Yue Xiaodan hurried down from the bus. Ignoring the stares of passersby, she threw herself straight into Li Yang's arms and refused to let go for a long while.
Neither of them spoke. Their eyes met, filled with deep love for each other.
"Hubby," Xiaodan finally called softly.
"Come on, let's hurry home." Not wanting to waste any time, Li Yang took her light luggage and headed off.
"Oh, right, my mom said to buy some food. We're eating at home." Li Yang took Xiaodan to a deli, bought some cold dishes and Pig Ears that Xiaodan liked, then headed home.
Once they got home, Xiaodan warmly greeted Li Yang's mother, acting as though she were already a married-in daughter-in-law.
Since the young couple had not seen each other for many days, both eager for the same thing, they quickly finished dinner and went hand in hand into Li Yang's room.
The moment they entered, Li Yang impatiently pulled Xiaodan into his arms. He gently kicked the door shut. "I missed you so much, wifey!" Li Yang said excitedly, then kissed her forcefully without hesitation...
As time passed, they forgot everything else...
After resting for a while, Xiaodan lay in Li Yang's arms and looked up at him. They exchanged a smile.
"Hubby, I want to take a shower. I sweated so much!" Clean-loving Xiaodan pouted as she complained.
"I'll go see if anyone's home." Feeling sorry for Xiaodan, Li Yang got out of bed, poked his head out, and called toward the door several times. No one answered.
"Come on, wifey. Let's go take a shower." Li Yang's awkward expression made Xiaodan burst out laughing.
"Come carry me, hubby," Xiaodan complained to Li Yang.
Only then did Li Yang notice Xiaodan's condition.
"Hehe, sorry, wifey. I was too impatient just now..."
After the shower, Li Yang carried her back to the room, took out the hair dryer, and dried Xiaodan's hair.
"Hubby, are we staying at home tonight?" Xiaodan sat cross-legged against the headboard while Li Yang styled her hair. Xiaodan's hair had grown quite long, making her look even more beautiful and alluring than when she had short hair.
"Wherever you want to stay," Li Yang replied casually, still focused on styling Xiaodan's hair.
"Then let's go back to the city. I don't think it's convenient for us to be affectionate here at home." Yue Xiaodan had been apart from Li Yang for nearly a week. Having finally made it through to their reunion, she naturally wanted to spend more time being close to him. Her love for Li Yang had become so obsessive that she could no longer pull herself away.
After discussing it, they got dressed. Without telling Old Mom, Li Yang directly rode his bike with Xiaodan to the bus station.
After arriving, Xiaodan pulled Li Yang out shopping. They walked around for a while, and Li Yang bought her some summer underwear and stockings so she would have clothes to change into.
At nine o'clock, they returned to their place. Xiaodan insisted on dragging Li Yang off to take a shower.
"Didn't we already shower at home, wifey?" Li Yang asked in confusion.
"Let's wash again. It's hot, so we need to keep clean, hubby." Seeing Li Yang's unwilling expression, Xiaodan smiled seductively and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing it, Li Yang immediately beamed with joy and happily showered with Xiaodan.
The moment they got back onto the bed, Xiaodan kissed him.
"Wifey, you're so beautiful." Li Yang pulled Xiaodan close and began kissing her passionately...
In the end...
After the passion faded, Li Yang held Xiaodan and quickly fell asleep...
At some unknown hour in the morning, Li Yang suddenly woke with a start.
He instinctively released the arm around Xiaodan and gently patted her as he muttered, "Wifey, did you wet the bed?"
"Mmm, what is it, hubby?" Xiaodan opened her sleepy eyes, lifted her head, and looked at Li Yang with displeasure.
"Look, did something happen?" Li Yang looked at Xiaodan with a puzzled expression. He felt that something was off. Both of them lowered their heads and looked at themselves.
Suddenly, Xiaodan let out a startled cry. "Oh my gosh!" The cry completely woke her from her sleep. Their abdomens looked as though they had been seriously injured. If they had not known what was going on, they might have mistaken themselves for being truly hurt.
"Hubby, Aunt Flow came," Xiaodan said obediently with a silly smile.
"It's okay, wifey. I'll clean you up." Fortunately, there was water in the room. Li Yang thoughtfully used a towel to clean Xiaodan, then took out a Sanitary Napkin and handed it to her...
After tidying up, the two of them both broke into silly smiles.
The timing really couldn't have been worse. Li Yang held his wife in his arms and complained unhappily.
"You silly thing, wasn't twice last night enough?" Xiaodan's charming face flushed slightly.
"Of course not!" Li Yang protested.
"Alright, honey. We've been so busy being affectionate that I almost forgot to tell you something important." Xiaodan stroked Li Yang as she replied.
"What is it? Go ahead, honey, I'm listening." Li Yang was seriously massaging her as he spoke casually.
A few days ago, the shop manager told me to go to Yiyang and train as an Assistant Shop Manager for a month. After that, I'll come back and officially take up the position.
The work will be much easier in the future, and I'll get a raise too. I want to save more money for you, so you can go to my family and propose sooner. What do you think, honey?
After hearing that, Li Yang didn't answer. He leaned down and kissed Xiaodan on the lips again before finally speaking.
"Thank you, honey. Don't worry, go ahead. Whenever I'm off work, I'll go to Yiyang to see you. Hehe!"
"Then I'd be scared of you, honey. I don't want that," Xiaodan replied, sticking out her tongue playfully.
"When are you leaving?" Li Yang asked with concern.
"The manager wants me to go tomorrow. A new shop is opening up, so I can learn more management methods and gain experience. It'll make things easier once I officially take over."
Xiaodan replied with a smile.
"But I can't bear to be apart from you, honey." Li Yang hugged Xiaodan tightly and couldn't help grumbling.
"Hehe, just endure it a little longer, honey. Once you marry me, we can be together every day..."
The two of them fooled around together, neither willing to part for a long time...
At eight in the morning, Li Yang quickly got himself ready. He told Xiaodan to keep lying down and rest, then ran out to buy breakfast and brought it back.
"Honey, look what I bought." Li Yang shook the bag in his hand as he looked at Yue Xiaodan lying there.
Xiaodan came over in surprise, took the bag, and began rummaging through it.
Inside were four kinds of food: Pan-Fried Buns, Spicy Soup, Millet Porridge, and Beef Soup.
"Thank you, honey. Let's eat together." Li Yang went to get bowls. Seeing that Xiaodan was wearing too little, he thoughtfully took out her pajamas and put them on her.
"Honey, be careful not to let your stomach get cold. Aunt Flow just came, so take better care of yourself."
"Thank you, honey." Xiaodan obediently let Li Yang dress her. Then she began eating in big bites while thoughtfully feeding Li Yang as well.
The two of them happily finished all the breakfast.
After Li Yang cleaned up, the two sat on the sofa to rest. Li Yang gently held Xiaodan's little feet, rubbed red from often wearing high heels, and asked painfully, "Does it hurt, honey?"
"A little, honey. I have to stand for several hours every day." Xiaodan replied coquettishly.
"I'll rub them for you." Li Yang gently began massaging Xiaodan's feet.
"Honey, I've thought it over. We didn't use protection last night, and I don't want to take medicine anymore. Let nature take its course. It would be wonderful if I got pregnant. I want to give you a child that belongs to both of us."
With relaxed brows, Xiaodan said it lightly to Li Yang.
"Really, honey? Then I won't be so careful in the future either." Li Yang smiled happily.
"Mm, don't worry, honey. Don't pull out anymore in the future either. I read online that doing that often isn't good for your health. Remember that!"
The two clung to each other for a while longer before Li Yang finally hurried off to work under Xiaodan's urging.
"Honey, work hard and earn money so you can marry me sooner. Then we can do it every day, and no one can stop us," Yue Xiaodan said coquettishly.
"When you come back at noon, I'll make you something delicious. Remember that, honey?" Then Yue Xiaodan took the initiative to give Li Yang a fragrant kiss to comfort him.
Their feelings for each other became increasingly hard to part from.
After Li Yang left, Xiaodan obediently lay back down. It was still early, so she listened to Li Yang and rested properly. Before long, she slowly fell asleep in a relaxed mood.
It wasn't until ten in the morning that Yue Xiaodan woke up. She stretched lazily, sat up in one smooth motion, and went out to wash her face and brush her teeth. Afterward, she returned to the room to change clothes, putting on the summer bra and panties Li Yang had bought for her. She simply paired them with a white short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts, then headed out in sandals without stockings to buy groceries and cook.
Feeling the underwear against her skin, Xiaodan found it truly comfortable—cool and breathable. Li Yang really did dote on her the most. Wearing the underwear Li Yang had bought her as she walked down the street, Yue Xiaodan felt a wave of happiness. She felt as though she could no longer go even one day without Li Yang.
Dragon Boat Festival was only a couple of days away. Thinking that she wouldn't be able to spend it with Li Yang, Xiaodan went to the market and bought plenty of meat and vegetables in advance. On the way home, she also picked up several handmade rice dumplings. Neither she nor Li Yang particularly liked them, so they would just have them alongside their meal.
Although Aunt Flow had come, Xiaodan wasn't irritable in the slightest. It seemed love really was the most healing thing for women.
She casually touched the smooth, elastic skin on her face. That, too, was thanks to Li Yang.
After returning home, Xiaodan changed into slippers, put on an apron, and began busily working away with delight. Imagining Li Yang's happy expression when he came home immediately filled Xiaodan with energy.
When Li Yang got home at noon, he saw that Xiaodan had already prepared four dishes for him. Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes—all of them his favorites. In the middle of the table was a plate holding four cooked rice dumplings, already peeled and sprinkled with white sugar. The white glutinous rice and red beans blended together perfectly.
"Honey, dinner's ready!"
Looking every bit the virtuous wife, Xiaodan served Li Yang a bowl of rice, and the two began eating happily.
"Honey, open up. Eat more and build up your strength." Xiaodan picked up a piece of beef and fed it to Li Yang. Watching him eat so enthusiastically that his mouth glistened with oil, she couldn't help smiling.
"Honey, I bought you a bag of brown sugar. I'll make you some brown sugar water later. When I'm not home, remember to drink more of it. You scared me to death this morning. Does it hurt, honey?"
Li Yang asked curiously.
"I don't have painful periods, honey, so don't worry! Your wife is in great health. After every period, I barely feel anything. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have known when Aunt Flow came last night."
"Hehe, my wife is still the best. Give me lots of sons in the future," Li Yang teased. After saying that, he went back to wolfing down the food.
He had really exhausted himself last night trying to make Xiaodan happy.
After taking only a few bites, Xiaodan ran off. No matter how Li Yang tried to feed her, she playfully dodged away and refused to eat another bite. She boiled water to make tea for Li Yang, mixed herself a cup of brown sugar water, turned on the television, and comfortably lay there watching it.
