Chapter 196 Fierce Competition

Su Muyao looked at Xiao Jihan in surprise, "Did you prepare all of this yourself?"

As she spoke, Su Muyao's breath fell on Xiao Jihan's ear.

Upon hearing Su Muyao's question, Xiao Jihan's cold and aloof face flushed slightly, then the blush spread from his cheeks to his neck. "Yes, I prepared it myself."

"I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

“But my wife already has Wen Nanxi and the others, and I’m afraid she won’t remember me, so I want to use a special way to make her remember me.”

The competition is just too fierce.

He was not the first beast husband, and he was not good at speaking. His aura was also too cold and aloof. He was afraid that his wife would not like him, so he could only use some other methods to make his wife remember him and to make himself occupy a place in his wife's heart.

After saying these words, a hint of suppressed sadness appeared in Xiao Jihan's cold and aloof eyes.

Seeing him like this, Su Muyao felt a little soft-hearted and couldn't bear it.

"How could that be? How could I not remember you?"

"Don't think like that. You are all the same in my heart, and I cherish you all."

“I remember everything you did. You wove all the baskets, winnowing trays, and other things around the house. They were all so well made. You did so much quietly…”

Su Muyao spoke of these things as if they were her own treasures.

Xiao Jihan really did a lot of things quietly, making her life much easier.

Xiao Jihan also tended to the vegetable garden in the backyard most of the time, watering and weeding, which is why the vegetables were so good.

In fact, Su Muyao secretly added spiritual spring water to the water tank in the backyard. This way, when watering the vegetable garden, she used the water from the tank, and the vegetables in the garden grew faster and better.

Now that the vegetables have all grown, they eat almost all of them from the vegetables they grow in their backyard.

Moreover, vegetables irrigated with spiritual spring water are imbued with spiritual energy and can nourish the body.

Hearing Su Muyao's words, Xiao Jihan felt a surge of sweetness in his heart.

He reached out and gently placed Su Muyao into the bucket of water. "I remember what my wife said. I am very happy."

In his mind, no wife would be willing to explain these things to her beastly husband.

In his view, what he did was something he should do as a matter of course. Perhaps in other families, if this were the case, the wife would think it was the most normal thing to do and would even overlook what the beastly husband was doing.

But his wife never did that; she always remembered those little things.

At that moment, looking at her in the bucket, his heart swelled with love.

"My wife, you are so good."

"You're fine too."

"I'll take care of my wife's washing up first."

Su Muyao looked at him, met his burning gaze, and took his hand, saying, "This tub you made is so big, are you really going to let me wash up by myself?"

Aren't you going to wash up?

Xiao Jihan's ears turned even redder upon hearing these words, and he whispered, "Wash up."

When he fell into the bucket, the petal water in the bucket soon overflowed.

Outside the window, snowflakes fell and the wind howled, as if providing accompaniment for the emotions inside.

The candlelight flickered softly, as if dancing lightly for them.

They were completely absorbed in each other's world, forgetting time and everything around them.

Only their intense emotions, like vines growing vigorously in spring, intertwined and made it impossible for them to separate.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Jihan would hold Su Muyao and sleep in the hammock.

This made Su Muyao cling even tighter to Xiao Jihan's arms.

Then, for some reason, the hammock broke.

Xiao Jihan could only carry Su Muyao back to bed to sleep.

Xiao Jihan only knew that after forming the bond, he felt that the feelings in his heart had been sublimated.

...No matter how fierce the wind and snow were outside, the house was filled with warmth.

Su Muyao nestled peacefully in Xiao Jihan's arms and fell asleep.

Xiao Jihan held her tightly, almost reluctant to sleep. Looking down at her, he felt she was so beautiful at that moment. If he didn't think she was tired, he wouldn't want to let her go.

……

The next morning, Su Muyao woke up to the sound of wind and snow.

When she woke up, Xiao Jihan was no longer in the room.

Su Muyao seemed to hear a sound, got up and looked out the window. She saw that the snowflakes outside had become smaller, but the wind was still strong, swirling the snowflakes and making them flutter down.

Wen Nanxi and the other two were each holding a broom and sweeping snow.

The ground, which had just been swept clean, was covered with a thin layer of snow again.

So this is the snow season?
In fact, Su Muyao quite likes snowy days and snowflakes.

Because the climate has changed drastically in the apocalypse, they rarely see snow anymore, but hail often falls instead.

Looking at the snowflakes and feeling the snow and wind of the snowy season, she felt it was all very beautiful.

Moreover, sleeping on a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) means that no matter how cold it is outside, the indoor temperature remains unaffected.

When Su Muyao got up, Xiao Jihan, who was tidying up the greenhouse for vegetables in the backyard, seemed to sense something and returned to the house like a gust of wind.

He looked at Su Muyao and asked, "My lady is awake?"

At this moment, Xiao Jihan's eyes were bright and clear, no longer showing the cold and desolate look from before.

The aura emanating from him softened as well.

Su Muyao smiled and said, "Yes, you're shoveling snow?"

"Yes, it snowed all night, and everyone in the tribe came out to shovel snow early this morning."

Although it's not suitable to go out during the snow season, everyone gets up every morning to shovel snow and make sure there's a path open for the village.

When the snow gets heavier later, the mountains may be closed due to heavy snow.

"What other noises did I hear? Were people talking?"

Xiao Jihan explained with a smile, "Everyone is praising how useful the heated kang is, and they all want to come and thank you."

Su Muyao had Wen Nanxi and the others build kang (heated brick beds) early on, and also built heated kang and stoves in the workshop. The tribespeople were amazed when they saw these and wanted to build them in the same way. Su Muyao then told everyone how to build kang.

He even had the blueprints for the kang (heated brick bed) delivered to Yun Qinglan.

Although Yun Qinglan's health has improved a lot now, due to his special constitution, the arrival of the snow season still affects his health.

After Yun Qinglan had a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) prepared, she also sent a return gift.

However, it is said that the North is not very stable during the snow season, as many mutated beasts come out to hunt, and in the past, dark orcs have gathered to launch attacks.

……

It had only been a few days since the snow season began, and that evening it was Hua Linye's turn to keep Su Muyao company.

In the middle of the night, Hua Linye was suddenly awakened, his face pale and his fingers trembling.

Su Muyao was stunned by his appearance.

With a flick of her finger, Su Muyao lit the candles in the room.

"Rinya, were you having a nightmare?"

Su Muyao had never seen Hua Linye like this before. His eyes were red and had a bloodthirsty glint in them, but his body was trembling, as if he was afraid of something.

But how could that be? He is now at level six and has inherited memories. He no longer acts cautiously; he is always calm, composed, and powerful.

Hua Linye said in a trembling voice, "I...I dreamt that my grandparents...they were slaughtered by a mysterious force."

"The feeling was very strong, and the scenes in the dream were very clear."
