Among the three children, when they were young, Qin Jiale received all her attention. As they grew older, it was Qin Xue who received all her attention, and only Qin Yu had always been like that.
Fortunately, the three children had good dispositions, and there was no jealousy among them, resulting in fights over who was better than the others.
Even the wilful eldest daughter took care of her younger siblings. Her mother never expected her to do such an out-of-the-ordinary thing, but thankfully Chu Molin was a good man. Otherwise, her eldest daughter’s marriage would have been very rocky.
Although the wilful eldest daughter had a bad temper, she was very kind-hearted and extremely loyal to her friends. In the end, she married a good husband, perhaps this is what they call “fools have fools’ luck.”
“Don’t stay up too late reading. Get some rest early, I’m going to bed too,” Nangong Shulan told her youngest daughter.
“I know, goodnight mom,” Qin Jiale said goodnight to her mother.
“Mm, goodnight.” Nangong Shulan left the room, closing the door behind her and returning to her bedroom.
“Finished?” Qin Lei asked as his wife entered the room.
“Mm, finished. Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Nangong Shulan thought her husband was already asleep.
“Waiting for you.” Qin Lei wasn’t completely at ease with her going out of town, but he knew that his eldest daughter needed their support.
Since their youngest daughter still needed to attend school and they couldn’t all leave the house, he had to stay behind to look after the home.
“Why are you waiting for me? You’ve had a long day, go to bed early.” Nangong Shulan took off her hairpins before getting into bed.
“Mm, let’s sleep!” Qin Lei cuddled his wife and buried his head in her hair, closing his eyes and falling asleep.
Ever since they got married, Qin Lei always slept holding his wife, unless there were special circumstances. This habit never changed, lasting for decades.
“Mm, goodnight.” Nangong Shulan adjusted herself into a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and said goodnight to her husband.
After taking a shower, Qin Yu went to his room to read for a while before going to sleep. The night passed without dreams.
Early the next morning, mother and son packed their bags and said goodbye to their family, heading to the city to buy train tickets to S Province.
Back with Qin Xue, after the four of them finished their meal and had a lively chat, Li Zhao and An Hao said goodbye to Chu Molin and his wife and returned to their own home.
Qin Xue looked at Chu Molin, “Are you tired? Do you want to take a nap?”
“You come with me.” Chu Molin knew that Qin Xue had been busy all morning and should rest. When he heard her ask this, he directly requested her to accompany him in the nap.
“Alright, let’s go. I’ll go wash my face and then sleep.” Qin Xue washed her face not to wake up but to clean off the cooking fumes and sweat from having a hot meal.
So, Qin Xue wanted to wash her face and wipe her body before sleeping; otherwise, she’d feel uncomfortable. In fact, she’d prefer to take a bath in her secret space, but now was not the time for her to be willful.
She didn’t intentionally hide her secret from Chu Molin, even deliberately revealing some flaws occasionally. But this didn’t mean she would tell Chu Molin about her secret space.
“Let’s do it together. I’ll also wash my face. The weather is too hot, and my face is covered in sweat,” Chu Molin wiped the sweat off his forehead.
“You go ahead. I’ll change the bedsheet.” Qin Xue thought about not having slept at home for so long, she wouldn’t be able to sleep without changing the bedsheet.
“Okay.” Chu Molin nodded and went to the bathroom.
Qin Xue went back to the bedroom, took out a clean bedsheet and pillowcase from the wardrobe, removed the old ones, and replaced them with the new ones.
By the time Chu Molin had washed his face and came over, Qin Xue had already changed the bedsheet.
“You go ahead and sleep. I’ll take the bedsheet out to soak, and then wash it when I get up.” Qin Xue picked up the bedsheet and told Chu Molina
“Mm.” Chu Molin agreed, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bed. Qin Xue put the dirty bedsheet in a bucket filled with water and detergent, stirring up foam before placing it in the water to soak..
