Chapter 42 Sharing the same bed
Chu Ci didn't think much of it and introduced him to He Baobao, "This is my husband, Shi An."
He Baobao was taken aback. Shi An?
Why does this name sound so familiar?
Before she could think it over, Chu Ci beckoned He Baobao into the house.
He settled her in his room and then went to take a shower.
After Chu Ci finished taking a bath, Shi An had already prepared dinner in the kitchen.
The meal consisted of four dishes and a soup, a very generous spread.
Seeing this, Chu Ci planned to call He Baobao, but Shi An stopped her.
"My lady, how did you meet that woman?"
The Chu Ci recounted the entire story in detail.
Shi An thought for a while, feeling somewhat uneasy, "This person's background is unknown, could there be a problem?"
Chu Ci shook his head. "She looks kind, so it's probably nothing. But even if there is a problem, I can kill her with one hand, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
Hearing this, Shi An felt relieved. "She has difficulty walking, so let's put the food in her room separately."
Chu Ci nodded, "I'll go deliver it."
The woman inside the room was in a daze; after all, she needed time to adjust to being in a new world.
When Chu Ci came in, he was somewhat surprised to see He Baobao with a melancholy expression.
In her opinion, this woman was quite proactive.
"Excuse me, I've brought the food."
"Thank you so much, thank you so much. I'm not worthy of your kind bringing it all by myself."
Chu Ci didn't reply, but placed the food on the table. "Is there anything else you need?"
He Baobao was a little embarrassed, "I also need toiletries, do you have any?"
"Yes, I have some. I'll bring it to you in a bit."
"That's too much trouble."
Chu Ci didn't care about any of that. "It's alright, you should focus on recovering."
He Baobao regained her fighting spirit, "Okay, I'll get better as soon as possible!!"
So what if we're in ancient times? We just need to work hard to live and find jobs.
As she walked in the mountains, she carefully observed her surroundings and recognized many of the herbs.
Anyway, it's hard for TCM practitioners to find jobs in the 21st century, so it's better to be a doctor in ancient times.
After dinner, He Baobao tidied herself up.
Chu Ci found her a set of clothes that she had never worn before and asked her to change into them.
No longer looking disheveled, He Baobao looked extremely pretty. Although she wasn't as beautiful as Chu Ci, she had a unique charm.
After He Baobao was settled in, Chu Ci came to the room to chat with her.
"What happened to you that made you look like this?"
He Baobao couldn't help but complain to her, "I'm so unlucky. I was kidnapped as soon as I arrived here. A village chief insisted that I have a ghost marriage with her son, so I ran away as fast as I could."
Chu Ci frowned. "Is that so?"
"Yes, where is justice?!" He Baobao choked on his own saliva and coughed several times because his accusation was too intense.
Chu Ci quickly patted her back.
"Don't get agitated, don't worry, I'm a good person."
He Baobao patted his chest nonchalantly, "I believe you, Chu Ci. You could crush me with your little finger. If you wanted to harm me, you wouldn't have waited until now."
Chu Ci nodded, agreeing with what she said.
Because Chu Ci's room is to be used by He Baobao, only Shi An's room is currently available for occupancy.
Chu Ci then took the toiletries and went to Shi An's room.
Shi An looked somewhat uneasy, and her face turned pink again.
Chu Ci smiled and ruffled Shi An's hair. "Don't worry, I'll sleep on the floor."
She turned to get a blanket from the closet, but Shi An stopped her.
Chu Ci was taken aback and stared straight at him.
Their eyes met, and Shi An immediately looked away as if he had been burned.
"Need not...."
"What?" Shi An's voice was too soft for Chu Ci to hear.
Shi An blushed and raised her voice a few decibels, "No need to sleep on the floor."
Chu Ci looked at the gentle and refined man opposite her and waited a few seconds before she reacted.
Her husband was inviting her to bed.
Chu Ci wasn't too excited, but continued to confirm, "Is it okay?"
Shi An nodded shyly, feeling as if his blood was about to burst into flames.
I don't know why he had the courage to invite Chu Ci today.
Shi An even felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand up.
Seeing that her husband agreed, Chu Ci took a quilt and placed it directly on the bed.
"I'm going to wash up first."
Shi Annuo nodded and took several deep breaths.
After Chu Ci finished washing up, she blew out the candle and went to bed.
Shi An nervously shrank to his side, her body stiffening.
Seeing this, Chu Ci gently approached him and put her arm around Shi An's waist.
"Don't be afraid..." Chu Ci whispered in his ear.
Shi An's heart was pounding even faster. He couldn't relax at all as he felt Chu Ci's presence.
The woman's hand rested on his lower abdomen, it felt warm.
Shi An felt a little embarrassed. Although the two had been married for almost five months, this was the first time he had shared a bed with Chu Ci.
The man's heart was pounding, he was having difficulty breathing, and he even had some tinnitus.
He was so nervous.
Chu Ci was actually a little excited, but perhaps because she had walked for four hours on mountain roads during the day, she was too tired and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
Hearing the even breathing behind him, Shi An cautiously turned around and saw that his wife was already asleep. He then carefully turned over to face Chu Ci.
The gentle breath brushed against his face, like a feather lightly brushing his cheek.
Shi An's eyelashes trembled, casting patches of shadow with their thick lashes.
He couldn't help but raise his hand to trace Chu Ci's eyebrows and eyes from a distance. At that moment, he felt surrounded by happiness, as if the whole world loved him.
Shi An gently held Chu Ci's hand, feeling its warmth.
On this peaceful night, the man silently made a wish, hoping that they could always be happy like this.
The next morning, the sun shines on the bed through the window.
Chu Ci slowly opened her eyes and saw Shi An's face so close to hers. She was first stunned, and then felt a little incredulous.
And so we started living together... I started living with the man I liked.
Having been single for so long in my previous life, I'm still a little unaccustomed to it.
She looked at Shi An for a long time, then gently stroked his cheek.
Shi An happened to wake up at that moment, and their eyes met. It was Shi An who was the first to look away.
"My lady~", Shi An called out softly.
Chu Ci felt her heart melt upon hearing this, and leaned in to kiss his forehead.
"Good morning, my love."
Shi An started to feel dizzy again and mumbled, "Good morning, my wife... my mistress."
Chu Ci reached out and completely encircled Shi An in his arms, holding her for a while before getting out of bed.
As usual, Chu Ci practiced her sword in the courtyard while Shi An prepared breakfast.
Everything is so harmonious.
He Baobao slept until noon again, missing breakfast.
As soon as he got up, he smelled the aroma of food and found steamed buns and stir-fried dishes on a table not far away.
There's another piece of paper.
The inscription reads: "Chu Ci took Shi An to set up a stall in the county town and returned in the evening."
