Since Yu Yuan and Yan Mu were about the same age, Father Yan had pitied him from the start. So from just her suggestion, Father Yan enthusiastically dragged Yu Yuan away to help apply the medicine.
Once he finished, the rabbit stew was almost done. The earth-shaking rain continued outdoors while gentle candlelight and the strong smell of meat filled the house.
Father Yan looked at Yan Mu lovingly, āEat more, daughter. Youāve been getting thinner and thinner lately.ā
āAm I?ā Yan Mu pinched her face and laughed, āI still feel like my face has gotten fatter recently.ā Actually, she knew that she was almost as thin as a skeleton, and that her face wasnāt fat but swollen.
Her body was getting worse and worse, so she had to kiss Yu Yuan soon. Yan Mu took a bite of the vegetable millet dumpling with a heavy heart.
āSilly daughter.ā Father Yan shook his head, the worry in his eyes becoming more obvious. He picked up a piece of rabbit meat and placed it in Yan Muās bowl. āHere, eat some meat.ā
Yan Mu pretended not to see Father Yanās concern and smiled at him.
Yu Yuan watched all of this expressionlessly, but his hand holding the chopsticks had turned pale.

āHere, eat a vegetable millet dumpling, my fatherās are the best.ā Yan Mu picked up another vegetable dumpling and placed it in his bowl. With Yu Yuanās withdrawn personality, if she didnāt serve him personally, she was afraid Yu Yuan would only keep staring at it.
Yu Yuan lowered his eyes and gazed at the food in his bowl for a long time before picking it up and slowly eating it.
Actually, Father Yanās cooking skills were average, and due to the lack of seasonings, the rabbit even tasted a little fishy. But thankfully the rabbit was still fresh and the three of them eagerly ate.
Yan Mu hadnāt eaten meat for a long time and was greedy for it. Even after eating four pieces of meat, she still wanted more.
āAlas daughter, your body is weak, itāll be hard to digest if you eat too much. You canāt eat anymore.ā Father Yan hurriedly stopped her with a straight face.
āIāll just eat another piece, one last piece!ā Yan Mu boldly coaxed and pleaded.
The rabbit meat was already very delicious, not to mention that there was a āYu Yuanā sitting next to her. As soon as she saw his face, Yan Mu deeply understood the term āa feast for the eyes.ā
Just from being next to Yu Yuanās face, Yan Mu felt that she could eat ten vegetable millet dumplings. She glanced at his overly handsome features and felt even hungrier.
Father Yan couldnāt stand being cajoled and was about to yieldingly agree, but he saw a pair of chopsticks suddenly appear in Yan Muās bowl.
That pair of chopsticks quickly placed down the rabbit meat, thinking that no one was paying attention, and tried to quietly sneak away, but Yan Mu and Father Yan caught him red handed. Yu Yuan held up his chopsticks and his entire body stiffened.
Yan Mu took advantage of the opportunity and quickly stuffed the rabbit meat into her mouth.
Itās even an entire piece of meat without bones! Yan Mu held her face, full of pleasure, feeling happy enough to burst.
āYu Yuan, youāre so nice.ā Yan Mu vaguely said, giving him a ānice personā stamp of approval. She ate the meat like a precious treasure, slowly savouring the fine taste because she couldnāt bear to swallow it all at once.
Yu Yuan lowered his head and nibbled on the vegetable millet dumpling. An unnatural blush started to colour his ears.
Is Yu Yuan blushing? Yan Mu froze and subconsciously swallowed a large mouthful of rabbit meat. She suddenly choked on it, her eyes rolling.
She thumped her chest with all her might and downed a glass of water. Finally, she felt that the piece of meat had gone down.
When she returned to her senses and looked again, she saw that Yu Yuanās expression was the same as normal. Even the unnatural blush on his ears just now had disappeared.
ā¦ā¦ It must have been an illusion. Yan Mu looked away, somewhat perplexed.
How could a person with a cold and withdrawn nature like Yu Yuan possibly blush? Yan Mu shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
Yu Yuan turned his head and quietly sighed in relief where Yan Mu couldnāt see.
Yu Yuan and Father Yan were both people who worked hard. At first, Yu Yuan felt somewhat guilty, but later Father Yan pretended that he couldnāt eat anymore and left about half of the rabbit for Yu Yuan. Only then did he stop retraining himself and eat. And just like that,Ā a whole rabbit was devoured1If you canāt remember, this rabbit was the āevidenceā of Yu Yuan stealing Zhang Goudanās hunt. by the trio.
Outside the house, the rain was still pouring, blending with the sound of rumbling thunder, and it seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. There wasnāt any entertainment in ancient times, and working class people couldnāt afford to light up lamps for too long, so it was almost time to go to bed when they had finished eating.
After gathering the dishes, Yan Mu wiped the table clean.
āYu Yuan, Iām sorry but today youāll have to sleep on the table.ā Yan Mu smiled apologetically.
Although she really wanted to sleep on the same bed as Yu Yuan, this was ancient times after all. Even if she wanted to, with his personality, he wouldnāt agree. Father Yanās room only had a single bed, and Yu Yuan, a half-grown young man, couldnāt even squeeze in.
The south was humid, and it rained more heavily in the summer. Instead of making a bed on the floor, it was better to sleep on the table.
Anyway, as long as Yu Yuan sleeps at home today, Iāll have a chance to steal a kiss. Yan Mu inwardly comforted herself.
āIt doesnāt matter. I usually sleep in the woodshed.ā Yu Yuan was washing the bowls. He had taken them and Father Yan was unable to stop him.
Yan Muās smile stagnated. Remembering the disgusting behaviour of Hunter Zhang and Zhang Goudan, she inwardly sighed.
She hung the cleaning rag back up in the kitchen, then washed her hands and carried a set of bedding out of her room.
āThereās only one extra set at home, so youāll have to make do with it.ā Yan Mu spreaded the bedding on the table with some conspiring. Actually, most of the farmers in this era had only one set of bedding, but Father Yan was concerned about her weak body, so he had bought her bedding of the best quality. He had bought two sets in total so there was a spare, and spent a lot of money.
The corners of Yu Yuan’s mouth twitched as he looked at the pink quilt with little flowers printed on it.
He slowly spoke, āActually, without the quilt, I can alsoā¦…ā
āThat wonāt do!ā Yan Mu grew anxious, āYou mustnāt catch a cold!ā In this era, getting a cold or fever is a big deal. If Yu Yuan burns to death, Iāll have to die with him!
In his heart, Yu Yuan didnāt think it was a big deal, but the expression of the young girl in front of him was so serious and earnest that Yu Yuan couldnāt help being a little confused.
He originally wanted to refute a little, but when he saw the persistence in the young girlās apricot eyes, he was suddenly unable to say anything.
His heart was somewhat burning, like a burning flame, burning his whole body hot.
So, this is how it feels to be cared for by someoneā¦ā¦ He silently took that pink bedding and laid it carefully on the table.
āCome and tell me if you need anything, ok!ā The young girl seemed delighted with his response and was even humming as she left.
It was a song heād never heard before, but coming from Yan Mu it was pleasing to hear.
He followed Yan Mu and softly hummed a few lines with his hoarse voice. His adolescent voice was currently changing, so it was rough and raspy. When it came out, it was so unpleasant to listen to that he couldn’t continue.
He couldnāt help but cover his mouth, his bright eyes flickering in the darkness as countless emotions seemed to surge. It eventually dissolved into a clear, shallow sigh.
**************************************************
The author has something to say:
One night, when it was dark and windy, Yan Mu, who still couldnāt get a chance to kiss Yu Yuan, couldnāt take it anymore and decided to tie him up to forcefully kiss him. After some shenanigans, she succeeded, but after being kissed, Yu Yuan was traumatized and avoided Yan Mu ever since.
āā Ending 1, Since then, Yan Mu could no longer kiss Yu Yuan (she couldnāt even find him), and died a month later.
āā Ending 2, Yan Mu found Yu Yuan every month and tied him up to forcefully kiss him. This left a serious psychological shadow in his heart, and after achieving meteoric success in his career, he moved away from Qingshui Village. Yan Muās main mission failed and she died.

So forcing a kiss isnāt possible, donāt make things hard for Yan Mu hahahahaha

you are loved Yu Yuan! Get used to it! Thanks for the updatešš
Thanks for reading ć(ļæ£ā½ļæ£ć)
Thanks for the chapter, I wonder how she’s going to get a kiss if it isn’t going to be forced, maybe by accident or something lol
Thank you for reading o(ćļ¼¾ā½ļ¼¾ć)o kekeke through a scheme xD
Based on the summary, probably sneaking in a kiss when he’s sleeping? And he’s pretending he’s sleeping even though he already awaken.
You are close (āā _ā )
Then I wonder how will she get a kiss, thanks for the chapter!
Hehehe (Ā¬āæĀ¬) Thank you for reading!!!
š¤£š¤£š¤£
She should do one of those anime cliches: trip on thin air and into his arms, whilst somehow miraculously landing a kiss on him lol Helps that she has an unsteady health š
