Chapter 32 Make up your mind
Chu Ci found his puffed-up face adorable and amusing, so she picked him up and carried him.
Shi An struggled a few more times, but Chu Ci raised her hand and gently slapped his buttocks, and Shi An immediately stopped moving.
"!!" The man's face flushed red, and his body stiffened. "You... how could you...?"
Chu Ci raised an eyebrow as she walked, a slight smile playing on her lips: "What can you do?"
Shi An blushed deeply, biting her lip tightly, and murmured in a voice barely audible, "You...you spanked me..."
A barely perceptible smile flashed across Chu Ci's face, but his tone remained deliberately serious: "Because you're not being good."
Shi An's eyes instantly reddened, filled with grievance and resentment: "What did I do wrong? It was clearly... you who lied to me first!!"
Chu Ci sighed, shook her head helplessly, and revealed a hint of doting and tenderness in her eyes: "I was afraid you would worry."
"But you still lied to me." Shi An finally couldn't hold back her tears and they fell like pearls from a broken string. "Waaah~ You lied to me and did such a dangerous thing!!"
Seeing this, Chu Ci felt heartbroken and quickly comforted him, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you. Can my husband forgive me?"
Shi An felt a little better after hearing this, but she was still a little annoyed. "No..."
Chu Ci gently stroked Shi An's head and whispered, "I really know I was wrong, and I will never lie to you again."
Shi An's mood gradually calmed down. He looked up at Chu Ci and found that her eyes were full of sincerity.
His heart softened instantly. "Alright, I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."
Chu Ci smiled and gently bumped Shi An's nose with her own: "Okay, I promise you, I will never lie to you again."
Shi An's face turned even redder. He buried his head deeply in Chu Ci's chest, his voice muffled and tinged with a hint of coquetry: "It's a deal."
"Yeah, it's agreed."
Chu Ci carried Shi An into the house and placed him on the bed.
Are you hungry?
Shi An shifted her feet slightly. "Hmm... a little."
"Then I'll cook today as an apology."
"All right...."
Just as Chu Ci was about to turn and leave, Shi An suddenly remembered something important and hurriedly reached out to grab her sleeve.
"Wait a minute!!" Shi An said nervously.
Chu Ci stopped and turned back to look at him, puzzled. "What's wrong?"
“Um… my indenture…” Shi An stammered.
You must understand that this world places great constraints on men.
As long as the indenture is in Chu Ci's hands, he belongs entirely to Chu Ci. If he escapes, he will be drowned in a pig cage.
That's why Shi An tried every means to destroy the indenture so that he could go to Kyoto without any worries.
"Oh, that?" Chu Ci thought it was something serious. "It was burned."
"...Burned...burned?" Shi An stared wide-eyed, repeating the word in disbelief.
"Yes," Chu Ci nodded affirmatively.
Shi An's mind went blank for a moment, and it took her a while to come back to her senses before she continued to ask, "When was it burned?"
Chu Ci truthfully replied, "I burned it as soon as I received it."
"..." The man paused for two or three seconds before finally finding his voice, "Okay, I understand."
"Then I'm going to cook."
"it is good..."
After everyone left, Shi An buried herself in the blankets, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam, her heart filled with helplessness and loneliness.
No one in the world had ever treated him so kindly; the happiness he felt at that moment seemed stolen and illusory.
He feared that when he woke up, he would be back in that cold, snowy night, with nothing but a cup of poison.
It was originally just a temporary measure, but unexpectedly, it turned into a real emotional outburst.
When those two thugs tried to take him away, in the depths of despair, the only thing that came to mind was Chu Ci.
Only the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu).
Now, he can no longer let go of this feeling, because she is just too good.
Just imagining Chu Ci smiling and treating other men gently made Shi An feel like she was going crazy.
No, we can't go on like this.
After crying for an unknown amount of time, Shi An finally struggled out of bed and made up her mind.
He had to go to Kyoto; but he would never give up on the Chu Ci either.
Why should he have to make a choice?
Can't we have both?
In this life, he's going to be a little selfish and a little greedy; he won't give up on either side.
He wants both fish and bear's paw!
"Shi An, come out for dinner," Chu Ci called out through the window.
"Oh, you're here." Shi An rubbed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly walked out of the room.
Chu Ci brought the chicken stew with mushrooms to the table and turned around to see Shi An walking over with red and swollen eyes.
She felt a little guilty, thinking that she had made Shi An cry again, so she kept putting food on Shi An's plate during the meal, trying to make up for her mistake.
She lied because she didn't want Shi An to worry, but it turned out like this, completely contrary to her original intention.
She could no longer lie to Shi An, after all, she wasn't good at lying, and Shi An was so smart that it would be too difficult to fool him.
Shi An ate too much for dinner and burped several times in a row.
He clutched his stomach, his brow furrowed, clearly feeling unwell.
Seeing this, Chu Ci hurriedly went over and asked anxiously, "Did you eat too much? It's all my fault..."
Shi An quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not my fault, my wife. It's just that the food you made was too delicious."
Hearing Shi An's sensible words, Chu Ci felt even more guilty, even though she was the one who had overfed him.
This man is really...
Chu Ci rubbed his stomach for him, then suggested, "Let's go, I'll take you to digest your food."
Shi An blushed and nodded obediently, then followed Chu Ci out for a walk like a little tail.
Chu Ci was in a good mood and took him to the village's evening market.
The market was quite crowded and lively tonight.
As soon as they reached the market entrance, some villagers recognized Chu Ci and greeted her warmly: "Miss Chu, are you here to buy something?"
Chu Ci smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm taking my husband out for a walk."
Everyone turned to look at Shi An behind Chu Ci, and someone praised, "Chu Niangzi's husband is so handsome."
Upon hearing this, Shi An blushed instantly, feeling embarrassed, and quickly hid behind Chu Ci.
Chu Ci was quite pleased. Seeing Shi An's shy expression, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up: "Thank you for the compliment. He really is handsome."
Hearing Chu Ci say this, Shi An felt that she was not modest at all, so she tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to stop praising herself.
