Chapter 148

148 Two Feelings

In the past, Li Yan wouldn’t have even looked at the wild vegetable cornbread at all.

However, in this situation, although there was a lot of firewood in the cave, there was nothing to eat.

“I made this wild vegetable cornbread. It might not be very delicious, but it’s better than you going hungry!” Pei Xuanxin thought that Li Yan despised this thing and explained.

Li Yan reached out and placed her finger on Pei Xuanxin’s mouth. She said softly, “It’s not that I dislike this food. I just feel very touched. It’s all my fault for dragging you down. If I hadn’t come with you, you would have eaten two cornbread and wouldn’t have gone hungry!”

When Pei Xuanxin heard Li Yan’s words, he was immediately touched.

“No, you’re not a burden! I’m glad you’re with me!”

With that, Pei Xuanxin handed the two wild vegetable cornbread in his hand to Li Yan.

Li Yan naturally wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity to win him over.

“Let’s each take one!”

As Li Yan spoke, she handed one to Pei Xuanxin.

“Eat it! My happiness will rest on you in the future! From now on, we’ll be together. No matter what happens, I’ll accompany you!”

When Pei Xuanxin heard this, he was even more touched.

Reaching out to hold Li Yan’s hand, Pei Xuanxin said seriously, “Yan’er, don’t worry. After we leave the mountain tomorrow, I’ll find someone! I’ll definitely be responsible for you! It’s just that I’m a little poor now, but don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you a happy and prosperous life in the future!”

Li Yan lowered her head and nodded shyly. Then, she said gently, “I naturally believe in you. You will definitely be successful in the future! Brother Pei, you have to believe in yourself!”

“Alright! It’s my greatest blessing to have such a good wife like you!” Pei Xuanxin said as he hugged Li Yan.

Li Yan lay on Pei Xuanxin’s chest with a smug expression.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Pei Xuanxin suddenly felt a little dazed.

For some reason, with a beautiful woman in his arms, he felt warmth but also a sense of regret.

Why did he feel such regret?

At this moment, Pei Xuanxin didn’t understand, but soon, he didn’t have the energy to think about this anymore. Because the two of them confessed to each other, the two of them couldn’t help but make out again.

On Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng’s side, after they had their fill, Luo Cheng boiled hot water and washed the dishes.

The wind and rain outside didn’t show any signs of easing. Li Xiaoran looked outside and couldn’t help but yawn.

The two of them had been busy all day. When night fell, they felt a little sleepy.

Luo Cheng also noticed Li Xiaoran’s sleepiness. He took some firewood and led some fire towards the bed.

Li Xiaoran watched as Luo Cheng lit a log and walked in, so she followed curiously.

“Husband, what are you doing?”

“There’s an adobe in here. Put some firewood in it in winter and it’ll be warm when you sleep at night! You’re not in good health to begin with, and there’s only one blanket here. I was worried that you would catch a cold, so I burned an adobe for you!” Luo Cheng explained, “This adobe was built for you!”

With that, Luo Cheng went to the other side of the stone house and placed the firewood in the stove outside the adobe.

“Look, with a fire burning here, the heat will reach the kiln quickly. Sleeping there at night won’t be too hot or cold.”

“Then won’t we have to get up from time to time to add some firewood tonight?” Li Xiaoran frowned and said.

“Don’t worry! Let’s burn some firewood first. When the bed is warm, I’ll put some charcoal in to cover this vent. We won’t have to get up for the entire night,” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she became even more worried.

“By doing so, the charcoal will not burn sufficiently. When the time comes, it will produce something harmful. We will die when we smell it in our sleep!”

Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and raised his eyebrows.

“You even know this? Have you forgotten what I told you? This stone house is protected against the wind and cold, but it’s a very well-ventilated stone house. The situation you mentioned won’t happen! Don’t worry! I’ve been sleeping here for many years. Nothing will happen!”

Li Xiaoran was still a little worried and planned to confirm it later.

It had to be said that Luo Cheng really didn’t lie to Li Xiaoran.

Once the stove was warm, charcoal was placed in the hearth, and the vents became much smaller. The house didn’t feel stuffy.

At first, Li Xiaoran didn’t believe it and insisted on not sleeping.

Gradually, sleepiness overwhelmed her. Li Xiaoran could only lie on the brick bed and sleep!

After sleeping until the next morning, Li Xiaoran sat up immediately.

After looking at herself carefully and reaching out to check Luo Cheng’s breathing, Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, neither of them had been poisoned by gas.

Luo Cheng sensed that Li Xiaoran was awake and felt her checking his breathing. He couldn’t help but feel amused.

His wife was really cute!

“Wife, the rain hasn’t stopped outside, so we can’t go down the mountain. Let’s sleep for a while!” With that, Luo Cheng pulled Li Xiaoran to lie down.

Li Xiaoran also wanted to sleep, but she was in a hurry to pee!

Holding back her urge to pee, she blushed and looked at Luo Cheng.

“Where is the toilet?”

Luo Cheng immediately understood, so he lifted the blanket and brought Li Xiaoran to another corner.

The curtain could be drawn at the place where the toilet was placed, so Li Xiaoran quickly went to the toilet and washed her hands.

After doing all this, Li Xiaoran couldn’t fall asleep.

When she hesitated over whether or not to get up, Luo Cheng pulled her down and hugged her.

“Wife, although this stone house is a little warm now, you’ll catch a cold if you continue to sit outside!” Luo Cheng muttered and closed his eyes to continue sleeping.

Li Xiaoran had no choice but to close her eyes and sleep.

She originally thought that she couldn’t sleep, but as soon as she closed her eyes, Li Xiaoran fell asleep.

At the Luo family’s house at the foot of the mountain, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu saw the heavy rain outside and knew that they couldn’t set up a stall today.

“I wonder how our daughter and son-in-law are doing on the mountain!” Zhao Xiu couldn’t help but mutter worriedly.

“Didn’t Ziyang say that our son-in-law built a stone house deep in the mountains? If it rains, the two of them will definitely go there to hide. There’s food and water there. We should not be afraid that they’ll starve!” Li Shun comforted.

Before Zhao Xiu could say anything, Big Yellow’s cry came from outside the house.
