C84 (1/2)

This was the first time Dong Shu went far away. On the road, she had looked at the weeds by the side of the road and found them beautiful.

But after a few days, she found that it was too boring to sit in the Mule Cart all day.

Although Yuanxi had slowly grown up and was becoming more and more fun, Dong Shu, who was traveling for the first time, was still not used to sitting in a Mule Cart for so long.

In the first two days, Xu Shiqiu did not notice anything strange about Dong Shu, but after a few more days, when they were halfway through their journey and were resting in a small town at noon, he realised how tired her Young Girl was.

In the only inn in the town, Xu Shiqiu, Dong Shu and the Old Madame Xu were sitting together at four tables.

Xu Shiqiu had only spoken a few sentences with Old Madame Xu, but when he looked at Dong Shu opposite his again, she had a light snack in his mouth, and his head was rolling on the verge of falling asleep.

Old Madame Xu originally wanted to say more, but she could feel that after Xu Shiqiu's gaze stopped moving, she had also looked at Dong Shu.

”We will rest here for the day tomorrow and continue on our journey the next morning.”

Once Old Madame Xu finished, Xu Shiqiu immediately understood what he meant.

According to their original plan, the reason why they had set up camp in the town at noon today was to rest, replenish their rations and speed up their journey tomorrow morning.

However, due to the fatigue on Dong Shu's face, Old Madame Xu suggested to rest for one more day tomorrow.

”Alright, I'll go and make the arrangements later. It's also a good opportunity for everyone to rest.”

As Xu Shiqiu said this, he also quickly calculated the time in his heart. After confirming that he would not delay his schedule for a day of rest, he immediately ordered for it to be done.

But after giving out the orders, Xu Shiqiu quickly finished the tea in the cup in front of him, and then looked at Old Madame Xu: ”I'll accompany my wife back to her room to rest first, and only go see my wife when she wakes up.”

Old Madame Xu did not feel that it was bad for Dong Shu to be asleep in the main hall at the moment. This town was not flourishing, so Xu Family and the rest had already booked up the entire inn.

Currently, the innkeeper's family lived in the backyard, and all the servants served in front were their Xu Family.

Since they were all family members, of course Xu Shiqiu would continue to spoil Dong Shu.

Even though Old Madame Xu was old, it wasn't the first time she went far away from home. Furthermore, while she was sitting inside the Mule Cart by herself, she could lie down at any time.

The same Mule Cart, was naturally comfortable for him alone.

Dong Shu blurrily led Dong Shu back to her room. She knew that this place was not Shihuan Courtyard, but when she saw the familiar blanket on the bed, she still used her last bit of strength she had to throw herself at it.

She would not remember what happened after that.

After Xu Shiqiu carefully removed the bun on Dong Shu's head and took off her shirt, he accompanied his to sleep for a while.

A familiar aura enveloped him, and Dong Shu directly slept for an hour before completely waking up.

Dong Shu who had just woken up was still confused, hearing the familiar voice, she tilted her head and looked over.

Xu Shiqiu sat by the side of the bed, holding Yuanxi who was looking at him and grinning.

Upon seeing Yuanxi laughing, Dong Shu immediately sat up in joy: ”Yuanxi knows how to laugh?”

”Yes.” In fact, Xu Shiqiu noticed it the moment he woke up, but he was holding onto Yuanxi who was just laughing, and was unwilling to look away.

”I just found it.” After saying that, Xu Shiqiu turned to look at Dong Shu and said, ”We, Yuanxi, really look very good when we smile.”

Dong Shu had gotten used to Xu Shiqiu's silly look every time he faced his, so she raised her hand to touch Yuanxi's small face. Perhaps because she had felt a familiar aura from him, Yuanxi snorted in dissatisfaction.

”Yuanxi is probably hungry, give it to me.” Now that Dong Shu had woken up from her slumber, she sat up straight and took Yuanxi over, preparing to feed her.

However, just as his hand was about to move, he felt his master's burning gaze land on his body.

”Hubby.” Dong Shu called out tenderly. Seeing that Xu Shiqiu did not react, she could not help but be embarrassed and said, ”Master, I want to feed Yuanxi. Turn around.”

Xu Shiqiu said in a serious tone, but after hearing her words, he asked in a puzzled tone: ”Why do you need to turn around?” After saying this, he lowered his voice and continued, ”I've seen it.”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu instantly understood what he meant.
