Chapter 21: No way, who let big brother be this strong?

This siheyuan with three sections is divided into the front courtyard, middle courtyard, and rear courtyard.

It seems the Gao family lives in the front courtyard, while Kou Yang lives in the middle courtyard.

Lu Yuan lives in the rear courtyard, and Pang Kaige, who gave Lu Yuan trouble today, also lives in the rear courtyard.

Besides that, there is another household—the family of Sun Erniang whom we just met at the gate—and also an elderly woman receiving low-income support.

The courtyard is still quite large; it has a shared washbasin, and of course there's also a horse stable.

After Lu Yuan tied up the horse, he led Su Liyan home.

As soon as the door opened, the inside was quite messy.

Lu Yuan also felt a bit embarrassed and said:

"Before, when I lived alone, I just got by."

Su Liyan, however, didn't think it was bad at all; men, after all, wouldn't care about such things.

Immediately, Su Liyan pursed her lips and smiled, saying:

"It's fine, brother; from now on I'll be here."

Su Liyan's diligence isn't an act, nor is it just to make a good impression on Lu Yuan on their first day of marriage.

Su Liyan is genuinely diligent.

Before this, in the village, her family was also tidied up by Su Liyan every day.

Su Liyan fetched a basin of water and quickly wiped the tables in the room clean.

Lu Yuan's two rooms are quite large; even though there are only two, they're bigger than the houses in the village.

If we waited for Su Liyan to finish cleaning everything, it would take till the year of the monkey and month of the horse—i. e., forever.

After Lu Yuan took the newly bought bedding from the horse, he looked at Su Liyan, who had rolled up her sleeves and was busy cleaning, and said:

"Let's tidy the bed first, and put on the new bedding, pillows, and so on."

Su Liyan blinked, then her cheeks flushed as she softly said:

"Eh~"

Soon, Su Liyan had tidied the bed and put on this brand-new bright-red quilt.

The old one had been thrown away directly by Lu Yuan.

After Su Liyan finished tidying the bed, she blushed, drew the curtains, shut the door, and spoke with a slightly trembling voice full of shyness:

"Brother~"

That night was truly—like a spring breeze coming overnight, with thousands of pear trees blooming~

……

The next day.

Early morning.

Su Liyan, wearing the newly bought bright-red autumn clothing from yesterday, quietly got up from bed and dressed.

Looking at the sleeping Lu Yuan beside her, Su Liyan's affection could not help but overflow.

Just after putting on her clothes, Su Liyan couldn't resist bending down to lightly kiss Lu Yuan's face, then, blushing all over, she quietly got out of bed.

It's time to make breakfast; her man will be going to work soon.

However, just as she got out of bed and was about to bend over to put on her shoes, a hint of pain appeared on Su Liyan's face.

It seemed she remembered something; Su Liyan found the package she had brought back from the countryside yesterday.

She took one of the items wrapped in red cloth and hid it away.

This thing…… must absolutely not be given to her husband to eat……

It really is too much of a torment.

From around six o'clock last evening, she had been tormented until almost midnight.

Although she is a fox woman and her physique differs from humans', …… it's still really too much of a torment.

If her husband were to eat this kind of thing again……

Su Liyan can tolerate it, after all, the fox clan's physique differs from humans', but she fears her husband cannot withstand it.

Some things still require moderation to last long.

This is also what a virtuous wife should do.

After hiding the thing, Su Liyan couldn't help but recall last night's events.

Upon thinking that, Su Liyan's beautiful face flushed all over.

I…… I, what on earth happened to me yesterday……

How, as soon as I got on the bed…… I felt like I had become another person……

Was that really me……

It's also too embarrassing……

I hope my husband doesn't misunderstand me as that kind of woman……

Su Liyan is somewhat worried that her performance last night will cause her husband to misunderstand.

But…… as a fox clan member, Su Liyan knows that this state occurs only when a fox clan person meets their most beloved……

Unable to hold back……

After thinking it over, Su Liyan, blushing, hurriedly shook her head to dispel the thoughts; she needed to hurry and cook.

…………

When Lu Yuan woke up in a daze, he felt that the space beside him was empty.

Where is my wife?

Just as Lu Yuan sat up, he saw Su Liyan come out from another room, carrying breakfast and placing it on the nearby table.

Su Liyan, upon seeing Lu Yuan wake up, immediately smiled sweetly and said:

"Brother~ you're awake~"

Lu Yuan nodded, and Su Liyan immediately came to his side, happily attending to her man as he dressed.

After getting dressed, Lu Yuan sat on the bed, and Su Liyan squatted on the floor to put his shoes on him.

Lu Yuan then raised his head to survey the food on the table.

Since arriving here these past few days, Lu Yuan never ate breakfast at home, always eating out.

This is the first time he has eaten breakfast at home.

And it was personally made by his wife.

After putting Lu Yuan's shoes and socks on, Su Liyan then stood up, looked at him, and smiled sweetly as she said:

"Wash your face, brother~"

Lu Yuan nodded, and after washing up under Su Liyan's attendance, he then came to the table.

He surveyed the breakfast.

Su Liyan then moved a bowl of hand-pulled noodles in front of Lu Yuan and said:

"Brother, eat this."

Lu Yuan glanced at the steamed corn bun beside Su Liyan, and involuntarily raised his eyebrows as he said:

"Why don't you get yourself a bowl of noodles to eat?"

Su Liyan picked up the steamed bun, looked at Lu Yuan, and smiled with pursed lips as she said:

"There isn't much white flour left at home; brother needs strength for work, so you eat white flour and I'll eat coarse grain—this is fine, we usually eat sweet potatoes in the village."

Hearing Su Liyan's words, Lu Yuan suddenly realized, oh, right, we haven't bought any grain for the house yet.

Yesterday I was only thinking about my wife.

What we have at home are just the leftovers from before.

Immediately, Lu Yuan nodded and said:

"Hmm, today at noon you go out and eat at a restaurant yourself; tonight I'll buy grain and vegetables and bring them back, from now on we'll eat white flour and not coarse grain."

As for this bowl of noodles in front of him, Lu Yuan was not polite.

He made it himself.

There's no helping it; Lu Yuan truly cannot eat steamed buns.

It's not that Lu Yuan is being pretentious; after all, he transmigrated from a twenty-first-century flower gardener.

Let alone coarse grain, steamed buns, noodles—these white-flour foods, Lu Yuan doesn't like to eat.

The steamed buns made from coarse grain, Lu Yuan truly cannot swallow them.

Lu Yuan finished eating with a gulping sound, glanced at the wall clock, and it was only half past six in the morning.

He himself goes to work at eight.

Now that we have a horse, there's no need to rush.

Watching Su Liyan eat steamed buns on one side and stir-fried cabbage on the other, Lu Yuan then said:

"From now on you don't need to get up so early; I start work at eight, so you can sleep a bit longer."

Su Liyan stared for a moment, then her face slightly reddened as she nodded and said:

"Okay~"

Speaking of last night's events, Lu Yuan then remembered again.

Lu Yuan really felt…… marrying this wife was a huge gain!!

Isn't there a saying, "a noble lady downstairs, in bed……"

His wife truly is a perfect match, even exceeding expectations!!

When that good partner's state comes together, that dazed, alluring look.

The key is that after Su Liyan actively responded, even Lu Yuan's perfect physique finds it a bit overwhelming.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but glance at Su Liyan beside him and swallow his saliva.

Hmm…… there's still plenty of time.

Lu Yuan went to close the door.

At this moment, Su Liyan also knew what Lu Yuan was about to do, and she looked at him with a blushing, shy expression and softly said:

"Brother~ in broad daylight~"

Su Liyan said that, but no woman would refuse her beloved's infatuation.

Half a day later, Lu Yuan opened the room door, feeling refreshed, went to the stable to lead out the horse, and without turning back said:

"Rest more at home, anyway there's nothing else, catch some extra sleep, brother's going to work."

There's no helping it—who made brother so strong?

Su Liyan stood at the doorway with a face full of rosy blush, alluring and tempting, gazing at Lu Yuan and speaking softly:

"Brother~ take it slow on the road~"
