Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 270 I regret it
The next day.

The boy, clutching a soft quilt, snuggled into the warm blankets and slept soundly. He heard someone calling Qiu Si's name, but ignored it, figuring it wasn't directed at him.

He was shaken until he had to open his blurry eyes.

What came into view was a boy who looked even younger than himself, and he was startled. He hugged the blanket with both hands and backed away until his body was against a wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my cave? And did you hit me while I was asleep? My whole body aches." He asked instinctively.

"In the cave?" Xiao Huai was taken aback by the question, looking at him with a strange expression. Hesitantly, she asked, "Qiu Si, you've forgotten everything again? What do you remember now?"

What's going on? Should he call his older brother in so Qiu Si can take a look?
Qiu Si, who is Qiu... wait, Qiu Si is his name, his name is Tao Qiu Si. He just got this name yesterday, it was given to him by Brother Wei, and he takes his sister's surname, Tao.

Memories of yesterday rushed into her mind, and Tao Qiusi blinked. Looking at Xiao Huai standing by the bed, her gaze held a hint of guilt.

"Xiao Huai, you're up so early!" So embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing. Tao Qiusi greeted him, then pulled the blanket over her head, trying to cover it up.

He said in a muffled voice, "Don't bother me, I want to continue sleeping."

He slept soundly through the night, so comfortably that he forgot what day it was. For the past three years, he hadn't slept as well as he had last night.

He loved the warm, bright house and the kind people who gave him warmth. He loved them just as much as he loved his name: Tao Qiusi, Tao Qiusi, his name was Tao Qiusi.

He would remember the name Tao Qiusi firmly, engrave it in his heart, and never forget it again.

Xiao Huai was stunned by Tao Qiusi's actions for a long time. When he came to his senses, he turned around and left. After taking a few steps, he stopped and looked back at the bulge under the quilt on the bed.

Thinking back to how he lived alone in a cave deep in the mountains for more than three years, he must have felt insecure.

Xiao Huai comforted him, saying, "Qiu Si, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. If you don't want to get up, then don't. I'll go and call my older brother to come in and take a look at you."

“My older brother is a village doctor and also an apprentice of the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the next brigade. He will definitely be able to cure your illness.”

After saying that, Xiao Huai turned and walked out.

Tao Qiusi, who was hiding under the covers, felt her heart pounding wildly when she heard his words. She threw off the covers and whispered, "Xiao Huai, come back."

Xiao Huai froze, slowly turning her head to look at Tao Qiusi sitting in bed. She frowned occasionally, then thoughtfully observed him.

Tao Qiusi realized that he had caused Xiao Huai to misunderstand. If he didn't explain clearly, Xiao Huai would definitely call Brother Wei and Sister Wei. If Brother Wei and Sister Wei found out about his blunder, he would be even more embarrassed.

"Xiao Huai, don't go and call Brother Wei and Sister Wei. I haven't forgotten anything." Afraid that Xiao Huai wouldn't believe her, Tao Qiusi raised her hand as if to swear. "I swear, I really haven't forgotten."

"I just... I just woke up and I'm a little confused. I can't tell where I am."

"However, I am now sober and can tell where I am."

"You were just confused, didn't you forget something again?" Xiao Huai confirmed.

Tao Qiusi nodded emphatically, "I haven't forgotten. I remember your name is Xiaohuai, and your sister's name is Lizi. You two are twins. Also, Brother Wei is my sister's fiancé."

Hearing him say this, Xiao Huai finally realized that Tao Qiusi was genuinely confused, rather than having forgotten.

Xiao Huai breathed a sigh of relief. "Get up quickly, we're going for a run." "I want to sleep. I haven't had a good night's sleep in three years. Especially in winter, it's so cold. Sleeping in a cave is freezing cold." Tao Qiusi played the victim.

He talked as he pulled himself into the blankets.

"You can't sleep anymore, you have to get up and go for a run." Xiao Huai walked over quickly, grabbed Tao Qiusi's wrist, and pulled him out of bed.

Speaking of running, Tao Qiusi remembered that his whole body ached because of running last night. So he resolutely refused, "Running? What running? I'm not running."

He's in pain all over his body, especially his legs; even lifting them hurts. He's stopped running, he refuses to run anymore, he'll never run again.

Xiao Huai explained, "You feel pain all over your body because it's your first time running. Pear and I felt the same way the first time we ran, and our older brother said it was because we lacked exercise."

"Don't worry, this kind of pain is nothing, it will get better in a few days. Pear and I are the best proof, now we both run every morning and evening."

“We’ve all become much stronger, and my sister-in-law even said she’d teach us other skills.”

Hearing from Xiao Huai that her older sister was going to teach them skills, Tao Qiusi instantly became interested. He gritted his teeth and lifted his foot to get out of bed, but the pain made him pull his foot back.

Tao Qiusi said firmly, "I'm not running anymore, I'll never run again."

He couldn't learn his sister's skills; his body wouldn't cooperate, and there was nothing he could do. What a pity, what a pity! Tao Qiusi was extremely saddened.

"Are you sure you're not going to run anymore?" Xiao Huai raised an eyebrow at Qiu Si. How could he give up so easily after living alone in the deep mountains for more than three years?

“I’m not just sure, I’m absolutely certain.” Tao Qiusi nodded with a bitter face. “I want to learn skills from my sister, but unfortunately, my body isn’t up to it, so I can’t learn.”

He clearly couldn't bear the pain or the hardship, yet he insisted his body was weak. Xiao Huai pursed her lips and said helplessly, "Fine, I'll go next door and call my sister-in-law..."

"Why did you call my sister over?" Tao Qiusi blinked in confusion. Suddenly remembering her promise to her sister last night, she said, "Xiao Huai, Xiao Huai, don't go see my sister, she's..."

He really didn't know what his sister was doing right now.

Xiao Huai finished speaking for him, "My sister-in-law is sleeping right now. She'll get angry if anyone tries to wake her. I'll go wake my sister up and explain the situation. She shouldn't be angry with me."

Tao Qiusi said irritably, "Why are you calling me 'sister-in-law' again? Xiao Huai, can't you come up with a different way of saying it?"

"No way. Who told you to promise your sister-in-law you'd run with us from now on?" Xiao Huai refused decisively.

Tao Qiusi was speechless for a moment, then blurted out three words, "I regret it."

"Don't tell me that, go tell your sister-in-law." Xiao Huai looked at Tao Qiusi with a half-smile. He was willing to bet that Tao Qiusi wouldn't dare to say that to her sister-in-law.

Just then, Pear's voice came from outside the door, "Little Huai, are you and Brother Qiu Si ready?"

Xiao Huai answered loudly, "I'm ready, he..."

"I'm ready too." Interrupting Xiao Huai, Tao Qiusi endured the pain, got up, and bent down to put on her shoes.

“I remember my sister-in-law had a kind of pill that was specially made to relieve muscle pain,” Xiao Huai said casually. “It was the first time Pear was running and her whole body ached, so my sister-in-law made it for her.”
