Chapter 49: Marriage (Part 1)

Early the next morning, a woman dressed in moonlight-colored plain clothes and a man in light purple plain clothes were sitting at a simple stall on their way back to the town. The two had extraordinary looks, which seemed a bit out of place with the humble stall.

Si Qingyu poured a cup of tea for Luo Shaoxuan who was sitting across from her and said lightly, “The buns in this shop are not bad. Let’s have breakfast here today.” Because there were no edible ingredients left at home, everything that could go bad had gone bad, so she could only take him out to eat.

Although the stall was crude, the stools were very low, and the table was a bit dirty for him, as long as he could sit here with her, what did these matter?

Luo Shaoxuan felt that they were already like a married couple, sweetly eating breakfast on the side of the street. He curled his long legs that had nowhere to rest and looked at her with curved eyebrows and eyes, “It’s quite good. I also like to eat buns.”

“Mm.”

“Here you go.” The auntie from the bun shop put a plate of buns on their table, stood up, wiped her hands on the rag hanging around her waist, and smiled kindly, “Doctor Si, try them quickly. If it’s not enough, just call me.”

“Alright, thank you, auntie.” Si Qingyu nodded at her with a faint smile.

The auntie slowly shifted her gaze to Luo Shaoxuan beside her, amazed. Oh my goodness, this young master was really good-looking. She looked at Si Qingyu with a beaming face, “Doctor Si, is this your young husband?”

Luo Shaoxuan, who was originally displeased with her undisguised gaze, instantly relaxed his eyebrows and eyes upon hearing her question. He held a plain bun in his jade hand, his face slightly flushed red as he lowered his eyes.

While on the other side, Si Qingyu’s action of biting into the bun paused, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to answer.

Was he her husband? But they were not married yet.

She hesitated for a moment and looked at the man across from her who had slightly lowered his head. She said with a faint smile, “He is my husband who hasn’t entered the door yet.”

The auntie standing on the side laughed, not seeing anything amiss. The fine lines at the corners of her eyes appeared, making her look even more kind, “Is that so? Then I won’t disturb you two. Eat slowly. If it’s not enough, just call me!”

“Alright, auntie, you go ahead and work.”

“Sure!” The auntie looked at the two of them with a smile and then returned to the shop.

Luo Shaoxuan ate the bun in small bites, slightly raising his eyes to look at the person across from him. The morning sun shone on her face, making the warmth between her eyebrows even more apparent.

He pursed his lips to conceal the smile at the corner of his mouth, his gaze looking at her as hot as fire.

Si Qingyu on the other side seemed to feel the burning gaze. She slightly stretched out her hand to block the morning light of the sunrise. Seeing Luo Shaoxuan staring at her without eating, Si Qingyu’s eyelids twitched. Could it be that he could get full just by looking at her?

Si Qingyu waved her hand in front of him, “What’s wrong? Is the bun not tasty?”

Being interrupted by her, Luo Shaoxuan finally withdrew his gaze. He picked up the plain bun, took a bite, and shook his head at her, “No, it’s very tasty.”

“Then eat more.” Si Qingyu picked up a bun and placed it in his bowl.

“Mm, you eat too.” He directly brought the bun that he had already taken a bite of to her face, indicating for her to eat.

“……” Si Qingyu pushed his hand back with a wooden face, “No need, you eat it yourself.”

But she found that she couldn’t push it away at all.

Luo Shaoxuan just stretched out his hand without moving, the corner of his mouth still curved in a smile, “You try it, this one of mine is really tasty.”

Knowing that he wouldn’t give up until she ate it, Si Qingyu secretly sighed and took a bite from where he had bitten, nodding, “Mm, it’s tasty.”

The man across from her instantly became all smiles. He didn’t make a fuss anymore and quietly ate his breakfast.

Not far away, the auntie from the bun shop watched this scene and sighed. It was good to be young. For this man to have a wife who doted on him so much, it was a blessing he had cultivated in his previous life. Thinking of this, she shook her head with a smile and began to knead the dough.

After finishing their breakfast, the two walked towards the medical clinic. Si Qingyu thought that Sixi must have been worried during the few days she was gone.

Si Qingyu looked at Luo Shaoxuan walking beside her and said, “Shaoxuan, I’ll buy you a house in town later. You can stay there before we get married.”

“Why buy a house specifically? I can stay in an inn.”

“How can that be? Consider the house my wedding gift to you. You can live there even after we get married if you want.”

Luo Shaoxuan turned his head and looked at her with deep eyes, “Naturally, wherever you live, I will live there.”

“…… Alright.”

The two had just walked to the medical clinic when they saw Zhao Sixi listlessly lying on the tea table early in the morning, not even reacting much when they entered.

Si Qingyu frowned slightly and knocked on the tea table with her slender hand.

“…… What’s not feeling well?” Zhao Sixi was still lying on the table, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.

Seeing this, Si Qingyu felt a bit angry and looked at the top of her head coldly, “What do you think is not feeling well with me?”

As soon as the voice came out, the person lying on the table shuddered and lifted her head in disbelief.

Si Qingyu had a cold face, “Can you see what’s not feeling well with me?”

“Doctor… Doctor Si……” Perhaps due to being too excited, Zhao Sixi suddenly pouted and even started shedding golden beans.

Seeing the uncontrollable Zhao Sixi, Si Qingyu’s brows furrowed even deeper, “Why are you crying?”

“I…… I thought something had happened to Doctor Si……” Saying that, the golden beans fell even more joyfully.

Luo Shaoxuan, who was standing behind, glanced at her with disdain.

“Uh……” Zhao Sixi hiccuped from his gaze and hurriedly raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears, moving two steps to the side to hide behind Si Qingyu and block his line of sight.

Si Qingyu didn’t notice her small movement. She sighed, took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, and was about to hand it to her to wipe, but was stopped by Luo Shaoxuan behind her. She looked at him in puzzlement.

Only then did she see Luo Shaoxuan directly take the silk handkerchief from her hand, wipe the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and say with a pretentious air, “I’m sweating.”

“……”

Zhao Sixi on the side saw this and hurriedly waved at Si Qingyu, “No… no need, Doctor Si. I can wipe with my sleeve. The silk handkerchief is for Young Master Luo to wipe his sweat!”

She was truly afraid of him. The feeling from last time was still vivid in her mind.

Si Qingyu turned her gaze to her and asked, “You thought something had happened to me, so you cried?”
