"Wife..." Qin Ye, who had just bathed, quickly shut the door.
Yesterday night he couldn’t hold his wife, but tonight he could finally embrace her again.
As for his parents... he actually wasn’t that sentimental, after all, they had passed away many years ago and the sorrow had long since faded.
Rong Yan looked at him, "You didn’t sleep at all last night, don’t you want to sleep first?"
When Qin Ye heard his wife’s concern, he felt joyful inside, "Not tired."
He then moved closer, his eyes unfocused, "Wife, you’re not feeling uncomfortable anymore, are you?"
At first, Rong Yan didn’t catch on, but when she saw his evasive gaze and his ears, red as if they were about to drip blood,
She instantly understood what his words meant.
The question stumped her.
Should she answer it was uncomfortable or it wasn’t?
But, a clever person doesn’t need to respond, an expression is enough to hint.
Her face flushed slightly... mainly because her skin was so fair.
Her eyes twinkled, a shyness crept in five parts... In a lifetime, who doesn’t have a bit of acting skill?
When Qin Ye saw her , what else was there to misunderstand? He moved forward, slightly excited...
Before he could hold her in his arms, a timely knock on the door interrupted them.
"Elder sister-in-law, we’re here to study."
He had made a mistake today; he should have let Qin Zhen take the kid away.
Seeing his expression, Rong Yan couldn’t help but chuckle, "Alright, go open the door, studying is important."
Suddenly remembering he hadn’t slept all night, she changed her mind, "Never mind, you don’t have to go, just sleep here first! I’ll supervise them for a while, and come back later."
Then what was the point in him sleeping?
"Wife, how about... we let them sleep earlier? After all, they have nothing to do tomorrow, and daylight is better than night... it’s less harmful to the eyes."
This was the best reason he could muster.
"Last night I promised them, besides, in a few days they have to report to school, so we better take the time to catch them up on lessons. Don’t think Qin Yu doesn’t like reading, but he’s really not dumb."
"Putting him in a lower grade would only affect his enthusiasm for learning, so I need to put them through a crash course over these next few days."
With the conversation going this far, what else could he say?
If he spoke up again, it would be like hindering the progress of his brother and sister.
"Then let them stay here, and I’ll help..."
Before he could finish speaking, Rong Yan interrupted him, "You better take care of your own health, get some sleep earlier tonight!"
After saying that, she went over to open the door...
Qin Ye stood there, his gaze locked on that slender figure... So his wife cared about him that much.
"Elder sister-in-law, we’ve come to study," Qin Yu said calmly to the person who opened the door.
When something is inevitable, one can only calmly accept it.
"Come on, let’s go to Xiao Mei’s room to study," said Rong Yan as she walked out.
Qin Yu had no objections about where to go; besides, he knew his elder brother worked hard, and he was sensible enough to recognize that.
There’s no need to mention Qin Mei—she’s soft by nature, whatever you say goes.
They quickly followed behind...
After watching them leave, Qin Ye had no choice but to step forward and close the door.
Forget it, sleep first!
Lying down on the bed, a sense of fatigue came over him, especially since the night before last... he’d been so excited he didn’t sleep, and that was tiring, albeit a happy kind of tired.
Plus, he hadn’t slept the night before, that was the real deal.
And he had done farm work in the afternoon.
He wasn’t made of iron; once he relaxed, he was bound to feel tired.
After a short while, he fell deeply asleep.
Rong Yan had the siblings place the small square table on the kang bed.
"Today we’re going to learn some new things. Here are the books I got for you, one for each of you."
She distributed the new books to them both.
These were the books she exchanged for at the supermarket with the ginseng grown in her space after recharging that afternoon, completely the textbooks of this era.
Qin Yu was stunned, "These new books... when did I not see you take them?"
Rong Yan sneered, "Of course, I magicked them up."
"Alright, stop worrying about it and study diligently. I’ll start by teaching you the new words from the first lesson."
Qin Yu glanced at the new books in his hand, one math and one language arts.
Both were fourth-grade textbooks.
The most important thing was... why buy two of each?
He and Xiao Mei could have shared one.
"Sister-in-law, the two of us can share one book. Can we return one of them?"
Rong Yan glanced sideways at this penny-pincher and countered, "What do you think?"
"Okay, none of that is your concern. Focus on your studies. Otherwise, your remaining New Year’s money... will become your textbook fees."
Hearing this, Qin Yu’s expression immediately turned serious.
That was his considerable fortune.
Qin Mei cherished the new textbooks, carefully turning over to the first page...
Rong Yan’s teaching pace was fast, yet she could still make the sibling understand...
Glancing at her watch, it was almost ten, "Alright, you two go to sleep now, wake up early tomorrow to memorize the text, especially you, Qin Yu. You need to have it memorized."
Why is she singling me out? Does she think I won’t memorize it?
"Here, take your five yuan," Rong Yan said as she took out five yuan from her pocket and handed it over to him.
Initially, she planned to give him the money tomorrow, but considering that he might not sleep well tonight because of the five yuan, she decided to give it to him now.
Qin Yu’s gaze landed on the money, "...If you gave it to me, I don’t want it..."
Rong Yan firmly placed the money in his hand.
"I don’t want your money either; just take it. However, if you can’t recite it, I’ll fine you one yuan tomorrow."
He felt like his five yuan was in jeopardy.
"Alright, time for bed," Rong Yan said as she got up to leave.
Back in her room, she saw that Qin Ye had already fallen asleep... It seemed he was indeed tired.
Quietly walking over, she looked at his sleeping face... She had to admit, he looked harmless and quite handsome while asleep.
It struck a chord with her.
She basked in his handsome looks for a moment before preparing to sleep.
Just as she had lifted the cover and lay down, Qin Ye, who seemed fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, "Wife..."
"Did I disturb you?" Rong Yan had just seen him sleeping soundly.
"No, just waiting for you..." His alertness was always high, even from a deep sleep, he could wake up in a second.
Was he still fixated on that thing?
"Wife..." His voice sounded almost enticing.
Rong Yan could feel the temperature rising underneath the covers.
The next second, she found herself enveloped by Qin Ye’s embrace as he rolled over...
