After the family finished their meal, it was already getting dark.

While there was still some light, everyone washed up and went into their rooms.

Song Yuntang sat at the head of the bed with a quilt draped over him.

"Xu Qingye, what did you say to Lin Jingyao today?"

Xu Qingye, who had just entered the room, put the lamp on the cabinet beside the bed and asked, "Are you afraid that I will bully him?"

Song Yuntang said angrily, "I'm afraid you won't be able to bully him to death."

Hearing what Song Yuntang blurted out, Xu Qingye couldn't help laughing.

"It's nothing, really. It's just a warning between men. From now on, he'll have something on me, so he'll be more restrained when facing you."

Song Yuntang didn't ask what the handle was. She knew that if Xu Qingye wanted to tell her, he would have told her long ago.

She put her arms around his waist and rested her head on his waist.

"Xu Qingye, why are you so nice to me?"

The man froze when she suddenly hugged him. Then he gently stroked the head at his waist with his eyebrows, "I'm your husband, so of course I have to treat you well."

Song Yuntang looked up at him and asked, "What if you put aside your identity as my husband?"

The man lowered his head, his eyes soft and gentle.

"How can I abandon my identity as your husband?"

Song Yuntang curled his lips.

She knew that this man couldn't say what she wanted to hear.

She sat up straight and looked at him seriously.

"I know you're used to being serious, so I'm going to warn you. What I'm about to say might be a little blunt for you, but I always like to be straightforward. I'm afraid if I hold it in for too long, I might develop some problems."

I also want to avoid causing some misunderstandings.

Xu Qingye nodded and sat down beside her.

"What?"

Song Yuntang looked at him openly.

"I'm attracted to you."

Without the slightest bit of shyness.

The two looked at each other and there was a brief silence in the room.

Perhaps it was because the man's gaze was too intense, Song Yuntang cleared his throat awkwardly and continued, "Although I like you, I don't want to tie you down. You don't have to feel any psychological burden, and you're not allowed to laugh at me for falling for you first."

After saying that, he got into bed and lay down with his back to Xu Qingye.

I finally said what I wanted to say, and I felt relieved.

Xu Qingye sat next to her, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

"Well, I won't laugh at you."

This silly girl.

He did it so obviously, couldn't she feel it?

But as she said, he has always been serious. There are some things he can do, but it is indeed a huge challenge to say some words.

The so-called joy and anger are not shown on the face, likes and dislikes are not expressed on the face, and sadness and joy are not reflected on the face.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to holding himself to this standard.

Seeing that even after he said so much, the man still didn't show any reaction, Song Yuntang suddenly became like a deflated ball.

Both helpless and sad.

She moved her body to the side of the bed, keeping some distance from Xu Qingye.

Feeling her distant, Xu Qingye was stunned for a moment, then he blew out the light and lay down beside her.

He stretched out his hand, pulled the petite body into his arms, and inhaled the faint herbal fragrance in her hair.

Song Yuntang looked behind him in surprise.

"You don't need to read tonight?"

The man hummed.

"I have to coax my wife."

Hearing this, Song Yuntang couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

This is the first time he has said such words. Is he responding to me in a different way?

"I don't need your coaxing, I'm not angry," she said.

Xu Qingye held her hand tightly and said in a lazy tone in her ear, "The lights are off, I don't want to remember."

The sound of his voice sounded bewitching to Song Yuntang.

She curled her lips, feeling happy and satisfied.

"Then go to bed early."

……

The next day, the family got up early.

There was a strange phenomenon this morning. Song Yuntang and Xu Qingye had smiles on their faces from the time they got up to the time they left.

Even when Song Yuntang looked at Xu Qingye, unlike her usual calmness, there was a hint of shyness on her face.

The men in the family were careless and didn't notice this phenomenon, but the women saw it clearly.

After the young couple left, Jiang and Hu got together.

"Mom, I see that Qingye and Tang'er seem a little different."

Mrs. Hu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"You noticed that too?"

Jiang smiled and said, "It seems that mother has also noticed it."

Mrs. Hu smiled kindly, "I'm looking forward to seeing our Xu family have a few more great-grandchildren in my lifetime. That way, even in the afterlife, I'll be able to report to your grandparents."

Hearing this, Jiang was a little unhappy.

"What nonsense are you talking about, mother? I want to live a long life."

Mrs. Hu smiled and waved her hands. "It doesn't matter whether I live to be a hundred or not. In my life, I have two sensible and filial sons, Yongfu and Yongwang. A few grandchildren and their wives can also make me worry less. It's worth it. The only thing I am worried about is Cui'er. If I had been more tough and stopped her from marrying Cheng Fu, do you think things would be better now?"

Jiang shook her head.

"This can't be blamed on mother. If anything, it's Cheng Fu's fault for being so coaxing back then, and Xu Cui's being so innocent that it's inevitable that she was bewildered by him. She has indeed changed a lot over the years. When she was in Lushan Village, although she was a bit domineering, she still knew what was good and evil. Now she's become even more outrageous."

"Now that things have gotten this far, your father and I can't intervene, nor can we do anything about it." Mrs. Hu said, sighing, "They say it's better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage. I now feel that if Cui'er could return to the Xu family, perhaps things would change for the better."

Jiang said hurriedly, "Mother, you can't have such thoughts. My sister has to live her own life. If you interfere, you might end up blaming me in the future."

"Who said it wasn't? I had the same concern." Mrs. Hu looked outside the hall. "So, I haven't intervened yet. Let's see how long they can keep going on."

……

Song Yuntang took Nian'er and Shunzi to the clinic.

Xu Changgen hurried out to greet him.

"Sister-in-law, two doctors came to take the exam early this morning. I invited them to the backyard to wait."

Song Yuntang followed him into the clinic.

"Have you asked the two doctors' last names?"

Xu Changgen quickly replied, "One's surname is Sun, and the other's surname is Zhou."

Song Yuntang nodded and quickened his pace to the backyard.

"I'm sorry to have kept Doctor Sun and Doctor Zhou waiting for so long."

The two doctors quickly stood up and bowed in Song Yuntang's direction, "Who is it, young lady?"

Song Yuntang invited the two doctors to sit in the backyard and introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Song Yuntang, I'm the owner of Xinglin Medical Clinic and also a doctor."
