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

Chapter 271 Audacious
"Really? Are you serious?" Tao Qiusi looked at Xiao Huai with shining eyes, her gaze filled with gratitude.

He never imagined that Tao Qiuyi possessed such pills. Why didn't Xiao Huai tell him before, and why is she telling him now?

"Really." Quickly concealing the teasing smile in her eyes, Xiao Huai turned and walked towards the door. Tao Qiusi hurriedly put on her coat and followed Xiao Huai out the door.

When Pear saw the two of them come out, she smiled and handed each of them a pill.

"There really are pills!" Tao Qiusi exclaimed, carefully taking the pills. She turned her head to look at Xiao Huai standing beside her, her eyes filled with gratitude and trust.

Xiao Huai popped the pill into his mouth and swallowed it in a few bites. He didn't look at Tao Qiusi, mainly because he couldn't bear to look at her; it was the first time he'd encountered such a simple-minded person.

Seeing that Xiao Huai had taken the pills, Tao Qiusi also took his. Suddenly, a question occurred to him, "Xiao Huai, didn't you say you were already used to it? Why do you still need to take pills?"

Xiao Huai didn't answer, but Li Zi spoke first: "We all want to eat."

"Why does everyone have to eat? Do Brother Wei and Sister Wei have to eat too?" Tao Qiusi pressed for an answer, feeling uneasy as if he had overlooked something.

“We need to eat them.” Pear nodded and repeated, “We all need to eat one every day.”

Tao Qiusi felt a growing sense of unease, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with him.

"Alright, don't disturb your sister-in-law's sleep, let's start running." After saying that, Xiao Huai was the first to start running.

Pear wanted to say that her sister-in-law was already up, but Xiao Huai had already started running. She couldn't fall too far behind, so she swallowed what she wanted to say and ran after Xiao Huai.

Seeing the twins running, Tao Qiusi also struggled to take her first steps, running slowly and deliberately.

As Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi stepped out of the house, the first thing they saw was Tao Qiusi. Her slow, sluggish pace was comparable to that of a tortoise, causing both of them to twitch their lips involuntarily.

"Was he jogging or taking a walk?" Tao Qiuyi asked with a look of disdain.

Today, Wei Jingyuan was taking the girl he had been longing for to get their marriage certificate, and he was in a good mood. He was also unusually lenient, saying, "Last night was my first time running, and I ran ten laps in one go. It's already quite good that I was able to get up and continue today."

Listen to this! It's surprising that such stern words came from someone who is usually so strict. Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan in surprise, "You're usually such a strict person, why are you being so easy to talk to today?"

"Probably..." Wei Jingyuan deliberately kept her in suspense, his deep eyes fixed on her. He said softly, "Because, people are in high spirits when they have good news."

Getting our marriage certificate today is a joyous occasion, a truly joyous occasion.

Fearing complications, he didn't tell anyone and kept his joy to himself. He planned to tell his three children after getting the marriage certificate, and then have a nice celebration.

It was her idea to only get a marriage certificate and not hold a wedding, but he still felt he owed her something.

People are in high spirits when they have good news, so what good news does he have? Tao Qiuyi blinked in confusion, "You mean you?"

“It’s us,” Wei Jingyuan corrected her.

"Us?" Tao Qiuyi was even more puzzled. She thought carefully, but still couldn't recall any happy occasion for herself. A smile played on her lips as she asked, "What happy occasion do we have?"

Wei Jingyuan paused, his good mood largely dissipating, and narrowed his eyes as he looked at her. "Have you forgotten what we were going to do today?"

Clearly sensing danger, Tao Qiuyi wasn't about to be foolish enough to admit she'd forgotten. She smiled and moved closer to Wei Jingyuan, slightly tiptoeing, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Of course I haven't forgotten. I just have a reasonable suspicion that you might have forgotten." Tao Qiuyi was very adept at turning the tables. The soft, fragrant body in her arms distracted Wei Jingyuan. He went along with her words: "No need to doubt me. I could forget anything but what I need to do today."

"I got up early to make breakfast so I could get to town early and catch the bus to the county."

With the two standing so close, Wei Jingyuan looked somewhat uneasy.

Worried that she might get tired standing on tiptoe, I reached out to support her waist. But then, worried about being seen, I simply let my hands hang down naturally.

Going to town, we still need to take a bus to the county. What are we going to the county for? What else could we be doing? Of course, we're getting our marriage certificate! Tao Qiuyi finally understood what he meant by "people are in high spirits when they have good news."

Resting her head gently against his chest, Tao Qiuyi asked casually, "Wei Jingyuan, have you prepared all the necessary materials?"

“Ready,” Wei Jingyuan replied affirmatively.

Tao Qiuyi asked again, "Is the letter of introduction ready?"

"It's ready." Wei Jingyuan nodded. He answered her questions patiently and willingly.

The three boys who were jogging in the yard saw the two of them at the door and hugged each other. They all had strange expressions on their faces, and Pear even raised her hand to cover her eyes.

Tao Qiusi and Xiao Huai silently turned their heads away, refusing to look at the two lovey-dovey people at the door.

The three boys' thoughts were beyond Tao Qiuyi's consideration. She felt she couldn't just stand on tiptoe for nothing; she had to do something to avoid being taken advantage of.

Seeing that no one was around, she quickly pecked Wei Jingyuan on the lips.

Wei Jingyuan was stunned. His heart raced, and his face turned bright red. He had never expected the little woman in his arms to be so bold.

His eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but raise his hands to encircle her slender waist. His deep, pleasant voice whispered in her ear, "You really are..."

"What am I?" Feeling the strength in her waist and arms, Tao Qiuyi's smile grew even brighter.

"You're incredibly audacious," Wei Jingyuan said through gritted teeth, tightening his grip on her waist. To dare kiss him right at the doorway—that's incredibly bold.

"What, you don't like it?" Tao Qiuyi asked with a smile, looking at his sharply defined face so close to hers.

So handsome, so very handsome! Especially since he blushed after she kissed him. He's so innocent; if she teased him a little more, his ears would turn red too.

"I like it, I like it very much." After saying that, Wei Jingyuan felt like he had a rabbit in his chest, thumping wildly.

"I like it too." Tao Qiuyi smiled and released her arms from Wei Jingyuan's neck. Instead, she poked his chest and listened to his disordered heartbeat.

"I like it too"—four simple words that sounded like heavenly music to Wei Jingyuan. The fact that she liked to hug him meant she liked him too.

The joy came too suddenly; Wei Jingyuan felt as if he were dreaming.

"Let's go have breakfast now, so we can go to town and catch the bus earlier." Holding Tao Qiuyi's small hand, Wei Jingyuan led her into the next room.

"Aren't we waiting for the three running outside?" Tao Qiuyi asked as she walked.

"We can't wait any longer." Wei Jingyuan led her to the table and helped her sit down. He picked up a hard-boiled egg, peeled it, and handed it to Tao Qiuyi. "They'll come back to eat after they've finished running."
