Warm embrace, coupled with the medicine she took, Tang Yue slept deeply. When she woke up, she felt groggy and slightly disoriented by the unfamiliar surroundings. But seeing Mo Siyu, she wasn’t anxious at all.
She quietly shifted her body. After sleeping, she felt much more comfortable. Her movements were so slight that they didn’t wake Mo Siyu. The sleeping man still had his striking, handsome features that took one’s breath away.
Memories of the previous night flooded back into her mind, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. If the hardships of her past life had accumulated the fate between her and Mo Siyu, then she was truly grateful. Although her previous life was filled with suffering, having this life was enough to make her feel content.
Her parents were happy and joyful, she was attending university, and her younger brother Tang Jun was also positive and striving forward. Even her grandmother was in good health. Everything was just perfect.
This was their bridal chamber; in the future, they would get married and have children here.
Just thinking about these things, she felt a strong sense of intense happiness.
She took a deep breath, feeling overwhelmingly blessed, almost to the point of unreality.
Was her longing in her last moments of her past life really coming true?
"Are you still feeling unwell anywhere?" Mo Siyu, who had opened his eyes at some unknown time, asked with concern, gazing at Tang Yue’s face.
"You’re awake."
Tang Yue awkwardly began to withdraw her hand.
Mo Siyu swiftly caught it, moved closer, and lowered his head so their foreheads touched. This intimate gesture was skilled and natural, their breaths intertwining.
"It seems the fever has gone down a lot." Mo Siyu sat up and said, "I’ll go get some porridge for you."
"I’ll get up too." Tang Yue sat up following him. It wasn’t noticeable while lying down, but sitting up made her feel sore and weak.
Tang Yue got off the bed, her leg pain almost made her lose her balance. Mo Siyu, who came in with the porridge, quickly supported her and said, "You sit down."
"I’d like to brush my teeth." As soon as Tang Yue spoke, she felt herself being lifted horizontally. His voice was next to her ear, saying, "I knew you like to be clean; I’ve prepared everything."
Mo Siyu prepared the toothbrush with toothpaste and filled a glass with water, saying, "Sit while brushing, then your legs won’t hurt."
Sitting down, Tang Yue took the toothbrush and started brushing. The mint toothpaste was refreshingly cool, clearing her mind.
After brushing quickly, Tang Yue scooped some water to wash her face. The cool water on her cheeks was incredibly refreshing.
Only then did she get a clear view of the entire Siheyuan. It was bigger than the one in the hutong where she lived, with the courtyard being twice as large. The houses looked a bit old, but that didn’t matter as long as the structure was sound.
In the courtyard, the sunlight was just right. Under the sun, Mo Siyu, dressed in casual clothes, emerged from the kitchen. Without his usual white shirt, his casual outfit added more charm to his appearance.
Tang Yue opened her arms and took steps toward him, plunging into his embrace, holding his sturdy body and his unique scent close, which made her feel all the more real.
"Okay." Mo Siyu pulled up a chair to accompany Tang Yue in sunbathing here.
Tang Yue cheerfully said, "The North Wing has a large room and a living room; one for us to live in, the other we’ll leave for our future children, and just set up the living room there. The guest rooms on the south side are of various sizes, we’ll do simple decorations for all of them, half will be guest rooms, and the other half I’ll use as a studio, how about it?"
"Um, are we short on rooms? Is the kitchen a bit too big?" Tang Yue tilted her head, thinking a too-small studio wouldn’t be convenient.
"Xiao Yue, actually, the East Wing can also be made into guest rooms," Mo Siyu reminded. "The East Wing is as big as the South Wing. Our kitchen doesn’t need to be that big."
"Right, how could I be so silly?" Tang Yue cheered up immediately upon hearing this. Pointing at the big jujube tree in the corner of the courtyard, she said, "This jujube tree is great. When the jujubes ripen, we can pick them ourselves. Oh, the trunk is so thick, we can even set up a swing."
She loved swings the most. In the newly built houses in Wangjiang County, Tang Yue also didn’t forget about the swing.
"Okay." Mo Siyu took note.
"We can plant more flowers and grass in the courtyard, um, the ground isn’t very flat now, we will level it more later. When the weather is good, we can set up a table in the courtyard. It must be nice to sit outside and eat under the warm sun," Tang Yue said with anticipation, even imagining a future where she and Mo Siyu would have children running around in the yard, which would be a very happy scene.
"Begonia flowers, and we can also plant bottlebrush flowers in the corner. If they climb up the wall, a wall full of bottlebrush flowers, you’ll definitely like it," Mo Siyu continued.
Tang Yue excitedly nodded her head in agreement, indeed, a courtyard lush and green, it looked beautiful from any angle.
The rare moments of gathering always brought happiness and fulfillment.
