Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 184 - 184: 182: Zhang Yun’s Little Thoughts

His touch was so gentle, as if she was the most precious treasure in the world.

Just like every time he and she met, their eyes gazed at each other intently.

“Ah! Ye Lei…”

She instinctively called out to him, but her words got stuck in her throat as she looked into those deep eyes.

“My dear Sisi, have you missed me?”

His gaze was locked on her, but his footsteps did not stop. He walked straight into the room and closed the door behind him.

“I miss you, Ye Lei! I really do.”

Not only did she miss him, but she missed him so much that her heart ached. She was extremely worried about him. Nightmares had plagued her for endless nights, as if her sanity was being stripped away.

She desperately needed proof, proof that he truly existed in front of her! And not just in her dreams, but as a living, breathing person!

Liu Sisi’s body temperature began to rise rapidly, and within moments, she melted into his arms.

Her wet, doe-like eyes were filled with fog, and her long eyelashes fluttered continuously.

“Such a good girl! My dear Sisi, you are mine!”

He wanted her! He desperately wanted her!

He had never felt such an urgency before, as if to prove that their existence was real, as they ignited each other completely.

It was as if he wanted to completely embed her into his own body, as if only then could they prove each other’s existence.

A warm look or a word was enough for them to understand each other’s thoughts and feelings, so they could bring their hearts closer together and be in perfect harmony!

The flames burned more intensely, the color deepening, like the cold light emanating from the fangs of the Wolf King on a starry night.

Outside, the autumn wind was desolate, and the foot of the mountain at night was exceptionally quiet. Barely any human voices could be heard.

Occasionally, some frog croaks could be heard from afar, accompanied by the distant roars of wild beasts echoing among the mountains.

But in the small hut at the foot of the mountain, passion burned like fire, and the temperature kept rising higher and higher. The candlelight flickering against the window cast a dazzling scene, almost blinding.

He felt as if he was about to float away, his entire being reduced to an instinct that moved at breakneck speed.

Meanwhile.

As Guihua still anxiously waited for news from father and son Zhang Peng, they returned home exhausted.

Their harvest today was not bad, especially with the addition of Zhang Yun. Though it took some extra time to take care of Zhang Yun at first, the teacher and pupil gradually established a tacit understanding in hunting, and tracking prey became more convenient. Apart from the game that got away due to Zhang Yun’s initial mistake, the two had a bountiful harvest.

As soon as they got back to the door, Zhang Peng couldn’t help but call out softly, “Guihua! We’re back!”

With a creak!

Almost as soon as he called out, the door of the house opened.

“Yun Er, you’re back? Husband, Yun Er, you’re not injured, are you? Wuuu…” Guihua couldn’t help but cry again.

“What are you crying for? Women just love to cry. YingEr has been very helpful hunting these past few days. Hurry up, Yun Er, come in. Be careful.”

Zhang Peng scolded Guihua while looking after Zhang Yun who was walking behind him.

Upon hearing this, Guihua quickly wiped her tears, and said cheerfully, “I-I’m just so happy! This is YingEr’s first time going into the mountains. I’m so happy that…”

“Mom, don’t worry. YingEr is fine.”

Zhang Yun followed and entered through the main entrance: “Dad! This game is really heavy!”

As he spoke, Zhang Yun could no longer hold on, and forcefully threw the two game animals from his shoulders onto the ground.

“Hehe! It’s not heavy at all! Guihua, we didn’t go on this trip for nothing. Not only did we catch those two bears and got so much silver, but we also hunted a lot of game.”

Zhang Peng was very excited, and as soon as he put the game down from his shoulder, he handed the silver from selling the black bears to Guihua.

“You have no idea, these two black bears were really hard to kill. Fortunately, Ye Lei and Constable Zuo helped, otherwise, we would have been in big trouble…”

Zhang Peng talked endlessly until he and his son had finished their dinner, only then had he finished talking about the process.

“So you’re saying, Brother Ye Lei was seriously injured? Should we hurry and send some medicine over?” Guihua worriedly asked.

“Why send it now? They’ve been apart for so many days, and he and his sister-in-law are practically newlyweds. Going there and disturbing them now, wouldn’t you just be causing trouble on purpose? Let’s send it tomorrow morning instead.” Zhang Peng wiped his mouth and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

Across the table, Zhang Yun silently ate the food in his bowl, looking deeply troubled.

“What’s with the silence, kid? Did a cat catch your tongue?”

Zhang Peng asked curiously.

Zhang Yun finally looked up at them for a moment, then lowered his head again, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t.

Zhang Peng and Guihua exchanged glances: “What’s with you today, kid? Suddenly acting all mysterious. What can’t you say to your parents?”

“Dad, Mom, I-I’m already ten years old, and YingEr, she…I think…” Zhang Yun stammered without reaching the point.

“Hehe! Didn’t expect it, huh! You really take after your dad. As soon as you set your sights on something, you won’t let go, just like when I pursued your mother. No matter what, I had to have her.”

Zhang Peng seemed very pleased, “Back when I pursued your mother, she…”

“Cough, cough! Didn’t you say you didn’t drink today? Why do you have so much to say?”

Guihua’s cheeks turned red as she tried to scold with a straight face. She turned her head to look at Zhang Yun, “Yun Er, do you really like YingEr? You can’t just change your mind later because she’s young and ruin the long-standing friendship between our two families. That would be terrible.”

“Mom, although YingEr is still young, you know that I’m not the kind of person to change my mind easily. I’ll definitely take good care of YingEr.”

Zhang Yun blushed, but stared at his mother, obviously determined.

“You both are in such a hurry… YingEr isn’t even five years old yet, are you both really this desperate? Our son is such a great young man. Can he really worry about not getting a wife? Besides, considering the friendship between our two families and how YingEr has been following Yun Er since she was young, the marriage is practically a sure thing!” Zhang Peng, feeling quite smug, praised Zhang Yun.

“What do you know! If YingEr gets engaged to someone else, where will our son go to cry?”

Guihua rolled her eyes at him. This silly, brainless man from the mountains, what would they do if something unexpected happened? Would they just wait for their turn?
