When Chu Molin went over to hold Qin Xue for sleep, she opened her eyes.

“l finished washing, I’m a bit tired and almost fell asleep,” Qin Xue said, showing her talent for lying with her eyes open.

“If you’re tired, go to sleep, don’t wait for me,” Chu Molin said, looking at Qin Xue with concern.

“Hmm, I’ll go to sleep now, and you should rest early too,” Qin Xue was really tired today.

“Sleep,” Chu Molin pulled the thin quilt to cover her stomach.

“Mhm,” Qin Xue’s voice grew quieter as she agreed.

It wasn’t long before her breathing slowed and steadied.

Chu Molin shook his head, feeling touched that she had waited for him despite being so tired. He just wanted to hold her hand for the rest of his life and hope for the best.

Chu Molin read for a while and soon went to sleep without delay.

The next day, when the wake-up alarm sounded, Qin Xue rolled over, muttered how noisy it was, then went quiet, and soon fell back asleep.

Chu Molin slowly released the hand covering Qin Xue’s ears after she fell asleep.

It turned out that Qin Xue was really woken up by the alarm, but Chu Molin quickly held her and covered her ears, so she fell back asleep.

Chu Molin didn’t want to get up, so he just held his wife and closed his eyes for some rest. At this point, Li Dabao should have already gone to the train station to pick up his mother-in-law and the others.

After thinking about all those random things, Chu Molin emptied his mind and started meditating.

This was a good way to nourish one’s body and soul, by not thinking about anything and just emptying one’s mind.

By the time Qin Xue got up, it was almost eight o’clock. She got up a bit late today, probably because she was still tired from yesterday.

“Chu Molin, let’s eat quickly. Afterward, help me knead some dough. I’m going to make some buns later,” Qin Xue wanted to prepare lunch so her mother and brother could eat when they arrived.

She had experienced the food on the train before – it was both expensive and not delicious.

“Alright,” Chu Molin agreed right away without any hesitation.

“Xue’er, this is delicious,” Chu Molin picked up a dumpling and took a bite. “So you like dumplings,” Qin Xue didn’t originally plan to make dumplings, but she saw the glutinous rice and decided to make some for a change of taste.

“Is this called a dumpling? It’s my first time seeing and eating one, It tastes good,” Chu Molin looked at the translucent dumpling.

“l saw we had glutinous rice at home and wanted to change things up. I figured you must be tired of eating light food for more than a week and might want to eat something different, so I made these. I didn’t expect you to like them,” Qin Xue picked up a dumpling and ate it.

Making dumplings was not difficult, and quite simple. However, Qin Xue preferred dumplings with crab meat.

If it weren’t for the fact that Chu Molin couldn’t eat crabs, she would have used crab meat to make the dumplings.

She was too busy last night and forgot to ask Xue Ling about the shrimps and crabs. It seemed she would have to make time to go in later and get some crabs to dig holes and build a pond. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know where they would crawl to.

“Indeed, my taste buds were getting bored. I was also thinking of asking you if we could change things up. Now, 1 don’t even need to say anything. Xue’er, you’ve become the worm in my belly,” Chu Molin was delighted to see that he was becoming more and more in sync with Qin Xue.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, you’re the disgusting worm!” Qin Xue glared at Chu Molin in annoyance. She wasn’t afraid of corpses but was afraid of worms and those soft, squishy snakes.

The reason was simple: she had been scared by those two things before, and her fear had persisted ever since. She exemplified the saying, “once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope.”

Maybe she would never be able to overcome her fear in her lifetime, which showed how much of a scare she had had back then..
