Chapter 188: 186: The Mid-Autumn Temple Fair, People Get Rounder Under the Full Moon (3)

“Guihua, stop laughing at me, I… I don’t know what to say,” Liu Sisi said, at a loss for words.

“What happened? Did you…?” Guihua whispered into her ear.

Liu Sisi’s head hung even lower, barely managing to nod in affirmation.

Guihua had a grin on her face, but didn’t dare to laugh out loud, feeling a little embarrassed.

“You brought a handkerchief with you, right? Not far ahead, there’s a small pavilion, and under that, on the left, is a restroom. I’ll go with you and you can use the handkerchief…”

Her words made Liu Sisi even more flustered.

“Eh! So the two of you are resting here! No wonder it took a while to find you all,” Di Yelei said as he strode onward, coming up to the two and smiling innocently.

“Brother Ye Lei, you came just in time. Sisi is feeling tired; why don’t you carry her on your back and continue the journey?”

Guihua stifled a laugh and hurriedly got up to leave before them.

“What’s wrong, Sisi? Are you not feeling well? Let me carry you.” Di Yelei squatted down, ready to carry her on his back.

“Get away! It’s all your fault!”

Liu Sisi pushed him away with force before getting up and walking forward. Naturally, this brought about a new round of torment for her.

“Sisi… what did I do wrong this time?”

Di Yelei had a puzzled look on his face.

It wasn’t until after using the restroom that they realized how far they’d been left behind by Zhang Peng and Di Xuan. So, they hurried along to catch up.

Today, to attend the temple fair, Liu Sisi brought all of her family’s savings with her.

Within the ten days that Di Yelei was away, the bookstore had made a net profit of more than 30 taels of silver, after paying rent and other expenses. When Di Yelei had gotten into trouble, Liu Sisi had given him 10 taels he never used. With the money they’d all earned hunting bears, plus the extra silver the others had given him, Di Yelei handed her a total of 58 taels, shocking her!

With a naive grin, Di Yelei couldn’t help but scratch his head: “I contributed more in hunting the bears, so I got a bigger share of the bounty. Each bear was worth 20 taels of silver. The other 8 taels are from the small game we caught along the way.”

“Stop scratching! Have you forgotten about the wound on your neck?”

Liu Sisi glared at him, feeling the heat in her eyes. The simple man in front of her had risked his life to bring back the money, how could she be happy about it?

Angry, she shoved the silver back into his hand: “Di Yelei, listen! If you go hunting and get hurt again, don’t expect me to care about you! By then, you can go live in the doghouse with Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua.”

“No! Sisi, take it, as a man, it’s my duty to make money and support the family. Come on…”

“I won’t take it, unless you promise me that you will never get hurt again!”

“Sisi, be good…”

“No!”

“Sisi, it’s inevitable to get hurt when hunting. I… as your uncle, I promise you, I’ll put my safety first, okay?”

He was also troubled, as ensuring no injuries while hunting was nearly impossible!

Liu Sisi also realized that it was indeed true!

“Alright! From now on, you can just hunt in the shallow mountains. We’ve saved some money now, so as long as we get some game for ourselves to eat, it’s enough. If anything happens to you… think about Ying’er and Xuan’er, they’re still so young, what would they do?” As she spoke, her voice couldn’t help but lower a bit.

Her words made Di Yelei unable to resist hugging her into his arms, rubbing his chin back and forth on her head, and laughter emerged in a low voice from his mouth.

“I know my Sisi, my little kitty… is the one who worried about me the most…”

“Di Yelei ——”

Unable to hold back, a blushing Liu Sisi stretched out her crab-like hand, pretending to pinch him, causing Di Yelei to burst into laughter.

Recalling this moment, the taels of silver in Liu Sisi’s arms had not come easily. She secretly cheered herself up to later check out the temple fair and buy some new treats for the two children to try, as well as to reward the hardworking man beside her.

The three of them walked and stopped along the way, with Liu Sisi and Guihua as if they had endless topics to talk about. The two of them held hands and walked side by side, discussing the scenery along the way.

Close behind Liu Sisi was the tall figure of Di Yelei, his strong and masculine stature giving a strong sense of oppression. He wouldn’t let Liu Sisi out of his sight for a moment, the radiance in his eyes firmly locking on her. Bashful, Liu Sisi glared at him when there was no one around, but he just grinned and followed closely behind the two of them.

Finally, before noon arrived, everyone reached the foot of Black Pond Mountain.

“Auntie, dad! Mom, hurry up! Hurry up!”

Ying’er waved at them from afar and quickly ran towards them. In Ying’er’s hand, she held a swiftly spinning pinwheel.

“Mom, look, a pinwheel! Zhang Yun bought it for Ying’er.”

Di Ying proudly showed off the pinwheel in her hand.

Liu Sisi took it and saw that the pinwheel was made from colorful letter paper, spinning rapidly as the mountain breeze blew, and was truly beautiful.

“It’s really pretty! Has Ying’er thanked brother Zhang Yun?”

“Ying’er said thank you. Zhang Yun promised to take Ying’er to the Sansheng Bridge later, and he said there’s a lot of delicious food and fun things there! Mom, do you want to go? Please, let’s go!” Ying’er clung to Liu Sisi’s sleeve, blinking her big eyes and looking at her expectantly.

Sansheng Bridge?

Was it the bridge from the legend that could determine one’s fate for three lifetimes?

How old was Zhang Yun, yet he was already trying to lure away her precious Ying’er?

Liu Sisi felt a churning in her stomach, and a sour taste spread throughout it as she couldn’t help but let her smile waver. She looked up at Di Yelei.

Even Guihua, who was beside her, looked at him nervously.

Di Yelei remained grinning, scratching his ear when facing several pairs of eyes simultaneously staring at him.

“That brat Zhang Yun wants to take you? The height over there isn’t low. If he wants to take you, he has to come and ask me personally. You can’t decide by yourself!”

The meaning behind Di Yelei’s simple words was profound.

Guihua’s face immediately lit up with joy at his response!
