Chapter 123: Chapter 121: Ye Lei's Show Off: Sisi's Embarrassment Turns into Anger

Outside the window, the scorching sun seemed like a raging fire, causing the leaves to curl up from the heat.

The cicadas on the trees were continuously making shrill noises without stopping, adding another layer of annoyance to the already sweltering weather. The wind Feng'er gently brushed past the treetops, bringing with it a series of rustling sounds, so soft and serene. Occasionally, the sounds of two small hounds chasing each other could be heard in the courtyard; apart from that, there was no other noise.

Both heaven and earth had fallen into a peaceful slumber…

The expression on his face became more and more peaceful and serene.

His long hair was spread out and entwined with her tresses.

His eyes gradually became hazy and slightly squinted.

Even in her sleep, Liu Sisi felt a sour ache in her arm…

“Get up quickly! Cough, cough! You're so heavy, you're crushing my hand – ”

She subconsciously struggled in pain, finally managing to open her tightly closed eyes. Only then did she see that one of her hands was firmly being held by his big hand.

Damn! He's so heavy!

She exerted all her strength to push him away!

“Get off quickly! I'm going to be crushed by you!”

“I'm sorry, Sisi, I forgot. Are you okay? Did I hurt you when I pressed down on you?”

It took a while for him to regain his senses from his deep stupor. He quickly got off her and glanced at her with embarrassment. With a simple smile, he rapidly moved aside.

He resumed his honest and straightforward appearance, completely devoid of any arrogance and wickedness.

Devotedly holding her chin, he gently pressed a kiss on her forehead.

“Sisi, thank you—my little kitten!”

He sighed with his eyes slightly squinted, rubbing his cheek against hers. The rough stubble on his face constantly brushed her cheeks, bringing with it an intertwined feeling of itchiness and intimacy…

Liu Sisi was initially very angry!

But his kiss was full of cherishment!

Just as if she was the most precious treasure in the world, being gently protected with great care.

He gently lay down beside her, carefully covered her with the thin quilt, held her in his arms, and gently patted her back: “Sisi, sleep! You can rest first, and I will wake you up to take your medicine when it's time.”

“Mm, Ye Lei, you sleep too.”

The sweet, glutinous voice lazily rang out. Liu Sisi nodded, resting her head on his sturdy arm, her mood strangely settling down.

Ye Lei seemed to be in a good mood!

A strong sense of satisfaction spread throughout her heart. She gently closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep with a smile.

Di Yelei was indeed in a very good mood!

The ancients said that food and sex were the basic human desires.

He had never thought about living an ascetic life, but since Sisi was feeling unwell, he naturally wouldn't force her.

Unable to resist stealing a quick kiss on her cheek, he snuggled up to her fragrant and soft body and fell asleep again.

In the middle of the night, Liu Sisi began to have a fever again!

Di Yelei, without bothering to dress, busily took care of her, running around doing various things.

Having barely slept at all, he stayed awake until the break of dawn.

Unsure if it was because she had spent too long in the water that day, or because she had used up too much energy, Liu Sisi's illness came on with a vengeance.

Di Yelei felt guilty!

It seemed likely that it was mainly due to the long hours spent in the water that day, which caused her to catch a chill.

With a continuous high fever for two days, her small face was burning red, and no matter how much effort was put in, the fever wouldn't subside. Her already frail body became even weaker, losing a lot of weight.

But there was a silver lining – Di Yelei no longer dared to tease her sensitive little body casually.

Perhaps it was because they had opened up to each other; when Di Yelei helped Liu Sisi to clean her body, she didn't refuse. However, she no longer had the energy to resist either.

Di Yelei deliberately curbed his little schemes and carefully took care of Liu Sisi.

Xuan'er and YingEr came to visit Liu Sisi every day, chatting with her and playing for a while before leaving her to rest.

Zhang Peng also came and increased the dosage of her medicine. Guihua came too and chatted with Liu Sisi.

As they were talking, they heard a series of quarrels outside.

“Sisi, take a rest; I'll go and see what's happening.” Guihua said, and then left the room.

Feeling particularly drowsy lately, Liu Sisi soon fell asleep, only vaguely hearing Guihua arguing with Ms. Zhang.

Not long after, half-asleep and half-awake, she heard Guihua say, “Your shameless Second Sister-in-law dares to rush in, snatch the meat, and run away! she thinks it's the past!”

“Now that you are married into the family, you can't set such a precedent; otherwise, that shameless woman might cause even more trouble.”

“You didn't see her just now, behaving like a shrew, even Mr. Land Officer couldn't control her. She almost caused an uproar!…”

Listening to Guihua's complaints, Liu Sisi began to feel closer to her and couldn't help but smile in her sleep.

What surprised Liu Sisi the most was Di Cheng's visit the next day.

As soon as Di Cheng entered the courtyard, he was stunned by the changes within the Di family's yard.

The last time he came was the day his Third Sister-in-law died and was buried. He followed his grandfather here. The details of the arrangements were forgotten, but he couldn't forget that time's small courtyard – it was so desolate!

But what about now?

The yard had doubled in size, with an additional whispering room and firewood room beside the original four adobe rooms, excluding the kitchen. Green vines covered the ground in front of and behind the house, and a chicken coop enclosed by a fence with a thatched roof produced the chirping sounds of baby chicks. On the other side, there was a newly built well platform with well water flowing…

Staring blankly at the scene before him, he mistook it for the wrong path. He walked out of the house, looking for a long time before realizing he wasn't wrong. He stared at everything for a long time without recovering.

“Di Cheng? How do you have time to come over today?”

Di Yelei took advantage of his free time to dig a pond along the edge of the water canal, poking his head down to remove the silt and happened to see him.

Di Cheng was only capable of performing manual labor in the fields near the old house. The population there was large, but only his father and Di Cheng were capable of working the fields.

Di Cheng finally came to his senses and said shyly, “Third Uncle, my grandfather heard that Third Auntie was sick and asked me to bring her something.”

“You mean my father asked you to come? Did your mother see you?” Di Yelei couldn't help but frown.

It wasn't that he was overthinking, but according to his many years of understanding, it would be thanking the gods if Ms. Zhao didn't cause trouble; expecting her to offer food was simply impossible!

Di Cheng lowered his head and smiled honestly, “This is what my grandfather ordered, I don't dare to lie.”

In fact, Di Yelei guessed accurately.

When Elderly Mr. Di instructed Di Cheng, Ms. Zhao was the first to object! However, with one glare from Elderly Mr. Di, she hushed and obediently bowed her head to drink her coarse grain porridge, shooting glances at Ms. Wang below.
