Chapter 155: Autumn in the Cold Mountain

She was simply satisfied after completing the last step.

After Ye Lulu finished eating, she fed the babies with a small bowl of pork ribs soup that was of the right temperature.

It was just two small spoonfuls as it was just for taste.

Unexpectedly, the babies liked it very much!

They drank something fresh for the first time. Initially, the babies felt it was a little strange and did not need to swallow it. However, after they tasted it, their eyes lit up. They began to taste the food!

They even smiled!

Even the youngest child opened his eyes and looked at Ye Lulu.

“Oh, all three babies like to drink…” Feeding the babies was probably the most fun. Ye Lulu was overjoyed.

It was drizzling, so it was not easy to dig the pond. The bamboo was a little wet as well. Furthermore, it had to be processed further. Otherwise, the fresh bamboo would quickly rot.

Hence, they placed them in the kitchen to dry first and decided to wait for Father Guan to come back tonight before processing them. It was equivalent to having a lot of free time in the afternoon.

Ye Lulu also had an extremely comfortable afternoon nap. With a thick blanket and someone at home, she felt extremely at ease. While she was sleeping, she was suddenly woken up by the cries of a baby.

“Wa!”

The baby’s cries vibrated so loudly that Ye Lulu opened her eyes, thinking that someone was coming to carry the baby away again. Her heart pounded. “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

As soon as she sat up, she realized that it was her third son crying. “Gu Gu, don’t cry…”

Ye Lulu hugged her youngest child and coaxed him. However, because they were triplets, the other two babies started to cry as well. Ye Lulu had no choice but to shout, “Guan Chibei!”

For some reason, Eldest sister-in-law Guan was at home today. However, she was used to it and called Guan Chibei instead.

Guan Chibei immediately appeared at the door and entered.

For some reason, this figure that had just arrived caused Ye Lulu’s heart to skip a beat. One couldn’t tell the nervous beating of her heart.

“Hurry up and coax the children. They’re crying.” Ye Lulu had no time to care about him. She told Guan Chibei first and coaxed one of the babies herself. “Oh, be obedient. Baby, don’t cry…”

When Guan Chibei saw the situation, he also coaxed the eldest son and second son. Fortunately, these two were usually obedient and stopped crying soon. However, the youngest son grabbed Ye Lulu’s collar and was still sobbing. His beautiful face was filled with grievances.

What was going on?

Ye Lulu looked at her youngest child and touched his buttocks. She realized that they were hot! It turned out that the temperature had decreased today and Ye Lulu’s body was weak. As a result, the bed in the house was a little hot and she did not notice that it was heating up the babies.

“But it shouldn’t be. Mother touched this bed before she went out this morning and said it was alright,” Ye Lulu muttered as she untied the baby’s diapers.

Guan Chibei’s eyes were deep. So that was what was going on. It was true that this bed was not overheated, but the three babies had a lot of yin energy and were actually very resistant to the cold. Didn’t they notice that morning when Brother Wei carried the eldest son and ran for so long on the mountain path, the eldest son didn’t even sneeze when he returned even though there was no blanket covering him?

Instead, the babies didn’t like things that were too hot.

His buttocks were burning.

The eldest son and second son were fine, but the youngest son couldn’t stand it at all and started crying first.

“That’s strange… Are you afraid of heat?” Ye Lulu rubbed the baby’s scalded buttocks with her hand. She did not favor this child over the other two and also reached out to touch their buttocks. Indeed, they were hot.

“Lower the heat on the bed a little,” Ye Lulu said gloomily to Guan Chibei.

Guan Chibei’s eyes darkened. He did not say anything and turned around.

As for Ye Lulu, she was not feeling too cold. She just needed to cover herself tightly with the blanket.

It was only after the youngest son had been dealt with that he stopped crying and closed his eyes to sleep. “You’re so delicate.” Ye Lulu lowered her head and kissed him.

However, the youngest son suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at Ye Lulu, seemingly a little unhappy.

“What’s the matter?” This time, Ye Lulu did not let him be. She glared at him and said, “I’m your mother, so why won’t you let me kiss you? That won’t do. I’ll kiss you. I’ll kiss you, Gu Gu!”

As she spoke, she lowered her head and planted more than ten kisses on the youngest son’s face, causing it to turn red.

The youngest son was speechless. “…”

After coaxing the three babies, Guan Chibei adjusted the temperature of the bed and stood up with his back facing Ye Lulu.

Ye Lulu suddenly had an idea and felt an inexplicable urge to approach him.

Somehow, Ye Lulu suddenly reached out and held the man’s hand.

Guan Chibei paused and turned around to look at her with a confused expression.

Ye Lulu panicked this time and said casually, “I… I’ll let you see if my hands are hot! The babies seemed to want to cool down just now.”

Guan Chibei knew what was wrong with her now, so he did not do anything and said, “Yes, they’re neither cold nor hot.”

Following that, he silently tried to retract his hand.

It didn’t move.

Guan Chibei was speechless.

Alarm bells went off in Ye Lulu’s heart.

Rationale: Let go! Let go quickly!

Reality: No, I don’t want to let go.

Ye Lulu still held Guan Chibei’s hand and looked up at him. “Why don’t you stay here and sleep?”

Guan Chibei was speechless.

Ye Lulu trembled. What did she say?! Even if she only wanted Guan Chibei to stay for a nap, how could she say such fanciful words?!

“No—I mean, why don’t you take a nap here?”

Guan Chibei looked down at her. He knew very well what was causing her current state. She must have exhausted too much energy, so she felt more comfortable the closer she was to him these two days. Hence, she could not control herself.

“Where should I sleep?” Guan Chibei asked her.

Ye Lulu was instantly stunned. Ah, she couldn’t just let him lie on the ground, right? She was the one who asked him to stay. It wasn’t ethical for him to sleep on the table. There was only the bed left, but how could she let him sleep on the bed?

Ye Lulu could not find a solution, but for some reason, she just wanted to get close to Guan Chibei. She really wanted to stay with Guan Chibei! Not to mention that her body and mind wanted to stay with Guan Chibei urgently… but even she inexplicably felt relieved.

Could it be the aftereffects of her worry because someone had entered the house before?

Ye Lulu thought.

Ye Lulu gripped Guan Chibei’s hand tightly and did not let go. Their clasped hands felt warm against each other. Guan Chibei looked at her and retracted his hand.

Ye Lulu moved quickly and interlocked her fingers with Guan Chibei!

This was the first time the two of them had held hands tightly.

The man’s palm was wide and big. It was dry and warm. Guan Chibei was probably the youngest in the house. He had not been working for a long time. There were slight calluses on his palm but they were very thin. It felt very comfortable and safe, but it was not rough at all.

His fingers were clear, long, defined, and strong. Ye Lulu’s fingers were also long and onion-like. The intertwined fingers of the two were very compatible and they looked good.

Tears flowed down Ye Lulu’s face. After she realized what she had done, a word surfaced in her mind.

Beast.

Ye Lulu, are you really that vicious?

Ye Lulu, are you really a beast?!
