Shan Yu tossed and turned, and had no sleep all night.

At dawn, when the sun had just risen above the horizon, he got up late.

Shan Yu glanced at Wan Qiu and found that during the day, Wan Qiu’s face was even more terrifying. The fiery red birthmark that had scared him the night before was imprinted on his sallow and bloodless face, just like a dead man wearing a mask with green faces and fangs.

Like an evil spirit.

Wan Qiu noticed his husband’s sizing gaze, trembled slightly, and whispered: “Husband… Husband, the mute grandpa said… that if I didn’t give birth to the child this time, it would be difficult to get pregnant in the future. You… you should be gentle…”

Wan Qiu said as he loosened the belt around his waist and took off his coat with trembling fingers, revealing his shriveled and scarred body underneath.

It was like yellowing brittle paper that would break into pieces if he pinched it lightly.

Shan Yu’s pupils narrowed, and his eyes stayed for a moment on Wan Qiu’s still flat belly, which was several months pregnant. He turned his eyes a little uncomfortably and said, “That’s not what I meant. Please put your clothes on.”

Wan Qiu was stunned and raised his eyes. Taking a look at his husband, he saw that Shan Yu wasn’t forcing himself as usual. He hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed as if running away. He was afraid that he would be angry, so he stammered: “I… I will make breakfast…”

Wan Qiu said then he turned around and walked out. Shan Yu took a look at the sky outside and took his own pulse.

The original owner had been too lazy to eat, and his body had almost been exhausted by drinking and sex. Not to mention weak and empty, the man’s energy had been completely exhausted.

Shan Yu sighed helplessly, lifted up his clothes and took a look at his body, which although thin, was not starved out of shape like Wan Qiu. He held on to the wall and walked out with a somewhat frivolous pace.

.

The kitchen was not big, the breakfast Wan Qiu made was just a pot of bubbling green wild vegetables.

Shan Yu wanted to go home.

Shan Yu glanced at the floor stained with brown blood on the ground, and asked Wan Qiu, who was cooking on the fire, “You hit me with a piece of wood last night. Where is the wood? Is it still here?”

Wan Qiu paused and shrank when he heard the words. He swallowed hard and pointed in a direction with trembling fingers. When he saw Shan Yu holding the piece of wood and looking at it closely, he thought he was going to hit him in revenge, so he knelt down tremblingly in front of him and said, “Husband… Husband, I was wrong, I really don’t dare to do it anymore, please stop hitting me, please!”

After saying that, he kowtowed to Shan Yu and covered his face with dirt.

Shan Yu was thinking about something while holding the piece of wood in his hand. Seeing that Wan Qiu knelt down, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said a little embarrassed: “I was the bastard in the past, but after this time, I have figured it out. Let’s live a good life from now on, don’t be afraid of me, and don’t kneel to me at every turn, I will… change everything in the future, change everything.”

After Shan Yu said this, he asked Wan Qiu to continue lighting the fire, and returned to the room with the wood in his hand.

Based on the remaining memories of the original owner, Shan Yu guessed that when Wan Qiu was lighting a fire by the stove, the original owner, who had returned from drinking, became so animalistic that he wanted to have sex regardless of Wan Qiu’s pregnant body. During the argument, Wan Qiu accidentally injured him.

Shan Yu fiddled with the piece of wood a few times, then looked at it carefully in the morning light.

The ripples were covered with gold threads, shining like gems under the light.

It was a piece of golden nanmu with fine texture and soft luster.

Shan Yu couldn’t help but laugh when he thought of Wan Qiu using it to light a fire. He weighed the golden nanmu in his hand, raised it high to the back of his head and silently said “I want to go home” before gritting his teeth and smashing it down hard.
