Sweet Rebirth: The Little Healer

”Yes, yes, Little Red Carp is one of a kind! The best, the cutest, the most beautiful!” Zhao Nuanyue was worried Little Red Carp would get angry, especially in such a public place with so many people around, so she quickly placated the little tyrant.

Hearing her sister’s endless torrent of praise, a smile finally returned to Little Red Carp’s face. She nodded smugly and said, ”Sister, you are absolutely right to recognize that!”

”Heh heh...” Hua Yusen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’Truth be told, I was just teasing. With my and Zhao Nuanyue’s looks, any child we have in the future won’t be far off, even if they aren’t as exquisite as Little Red Carp.’

”Brother-in-law, do you disagree with what Sister said?” Little Red Carp asked, a little displeased to hear his half-hearted laugh.

’If my brother-in-law upsets me, I’ll definitely make him regret it.’

Hearing this, Hua Yusen quickly shook his head. He knew Little Red Carp held a very important place in the hearts of Zhao Nuanyue and Zhao Nuan Yang. Besides, the little one was a lucky star; ever since she had come to Zhao Nuanyue’s side, everything seemed to have become easier.

”Of course not! Little Red Carp is the most beautiful, prettiest little doll in the whole universe. When she grows up, she’ll be the most beautiful young lady. I was just wondering what kind of boy could possibly be worthy of our Little Red Carp,” Hua Yusen explained earnestly, shaking his head.

Operating on the principle that a wise man doesn’t fight a losing battle, Hua Yusen was determined not to offend Little Red Carp, especially not during his newlywed days. With her willful nature, Little Red Carp was absolutely capable of clinging to Zhao Nuanyue all night, insisting on sleeping with her.

Given how much Zhao Nuanyue spoiled Little Red Carp, she would absolutely surrender to her pestering and tantrums.

’With a meddlesome little third wheel in the bed, I wouldn’t dare try to get intimate with Zhao Nuanyue,’ he thought. ’That little one is too sharp. When those big eyes are staring at me, I can’t possibly make any amorous moves.’

Hearing her brother-in-law’s compliments, Little Red Carp nodded. ’This brother-in-law of mine does know how to tell the truth after all. He’s quite honest. His astute assessment of me proves his judgment isn’t half bad.’

”Alright, Brother-in-law, you’ve successfully passed my test.” Little Red Carp blinked, then shot her sister a triumphant look, raising her eyebrows.

In response to Little Red Carp’s childish antics, Zhao Nuanyue could only look on with fond exasperation.

They finally left the train station. Hua Yusen took Zhao Nuanyue and Little Red Carp in the front car, while Zhao Nuan Yang, Zhang Hong, Li Wei, and the others sat in the car behind them. Thankfully, the two cars were enough to hold all their luggage.

Although she had only been gone for ten days, Zhao Nuanyue deeply missed everything about Jincheng City. It wasn’t just her hometown; her beloved was waiting for her here, and her family and friends were thinking of her.

Little Red Carp also felt comfortable. She closed her eyes and breathed in, feeling very content as she sensed the faint wisps of Dragon Energy in the air.

Hua Yusen could have sat in the front passenger seat, but he missed Zhao Nuanyue, so he squeezed into the back seat with her and Little Red Carp. Of course, Zhao Nuanyue sat in the middle.

This way, Hua Yusen could lean gently against Zhao Nuanyue. Since Little Red Carp was on her other side, she wouldn’t see their subtle gestures.

Hua Yusen even gently pulled Zhao Nuanyue closer, letting her lean against him.

Zhao Nuanyue missed Hua Yusen terribly as well, so she followed his lead and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

Little Red Carp turned to glance at her sister and brother-in-law. ’For the sake of the cheesecake from the Friendship Restaurant, I’ll let them be. As long as there’s good food, anything is negotiable.’

So, Little Red Carp quickly turned her head back to look at the scenery outside the window.

Seeing that Little Red Carp wasn’t looking their way, Hua Yusen quickly kissed Zhao Nuanyue on the forehead, momentarily easing his longing.

The driver drove quickly, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at the house by Qingya Lake.

Hua Yusen wished he could pull Zhao Nuanyue into the house right that second to express his passion, but seeing her weary face, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

”When I left the house to pick you up from the train station, I put some water on the stove to heat up. Go wash your hair. I’ll keep heating more water in the big pot, enough for you to take a bath and have a good sleep later.” Hua Yusen knew Zhao Nuanyue loved being clean. If she didn’t have a nice bath, she wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly, no matter how tired she was.

Hearing Hua Yusen’s words, Zhao Nuanyue couldn’t hide her delight. She hurried to the kitchen, carried the hot water to the washroom to wash her hair, and of course, Little Red Carp’s too.

Meanwhile, Hua Yusen continued to heat more water in another large pot in the kitchen for Zhao Nuanyue to use for her bath later.

Zhao Nuanyue first washed Little Red Carp’s hair and gave her a bath. Then, as if by magic, Hua Yusen produced a somewhat bulky-looking hairdryer.

”Oh my, this is a great find! Where did you get it?” Zhao Nuanyue quickly took the hairdryer in her hands. ’Washing your hair in winter is such a pain. It’s so cold. But with a hairdryer, it’s a different story. Even just getting it half-dry is so much better than leaving it soaking wet.’

”I bought it at the Yiyou Store. I figured we needed one at home, so I got it,” Hua Yusen said with a light laugh. He just knew his little wife would love the hairdryer.

Every time she washed her hair, Zhao Nuanyue would spend a long time drying it before going to sleep.

’That wasted a lot of time,’ he thought. ’And especially at night, I don’t want to squander precious moments on something like drying hair.’

Beaming, Zhao Nuanyue looked at Hua Yusen as she dried Little Red Carp’s hair and said with a smile, ”Wow, my husband is so thoughtful. You knew I really wanted a hairdryer.”

The warm air from the hairdryer made Little Red Carp feel drowsy. Once her hair was dry, Zhao Nuanyue carried her to bed, tucked her in, and let her get some proper sleep.

Hua Yusen had heated plenty of hot water. Zhao Nuanyue washed her hair and took a bath, then deftly dried her hair with the hairdryer. She even intentionally styled it to fall loosely over her shoulders, making her look even more refreshingly beautiful and languid, full of the charm of a new bride.

Hua Yusen waited anxiously. Of course, he hadn’t forgotten his brother-in-law. While Zhao Nuanyue was washing up, he also heated water for him; he couldn’t show favoritism. ’This way,’ he reasoned, ’my brother-in-law and ”sister-in-law” won’t come and cause trouble at a crucial moment.’
