At this moment, Edwin suddenly remembered that since their marriage, Xi Yun had been giving him emotional support from time to time, and he never seemed tired.

"Edward, we can go back now," Xi Yun interrupted Edward, who was still puzzled.

"Where's the card the receptionist gave you?"

"I already gave it to those two work bugs when I went in for the test."

*

Xi Yun, who had just returned home from the Xiongan New Area Summit, took a rare half-day off.

I've been busy with my project these past few days, it's exhausting even for a bug like me.

Xi Yun lay on the table, relaxing her whole body. Her mind was blank, and her eyes looked around aimlessly, left and right, up and down.

The window faces the family garden, where I and Edvy planted flower seeds together. Now many plants have sprouted, and they should bloom in a few months.

Just imagining the flowers in full bloom and Edwin smiling in his eyes made Xi Yun chuckle to himself.

After waiting for a while, Xi Yun went upstairs to find Edwin.

"Edward?" Xi Yun walked into the study.

The reddish-brown bookshelves were neatly arranged on one side of the room, filled with books, some of which still bore the marks of frequent reading.

The window next to it was open, and the floor-length curtains with floral patterns fluttered freely in the gentle light like a dancer's skirt.

Time flowed quietly over Edvy, and even the air seemed to become peaceful.

Xi Yun was momentarily lost in thought and fell silent, her breathing becoming softer.

"What's wrong?" Edwin asked, putting down his book.

"I... I wanted to ask if you're sleepy?" Xi Yun suddenly snapped out of her reverie, scratching her head. "I'm going to take a nap for a while, do you want to come with me?"

Even though I've rehearsed these lines in my mind countless times, I still subconsciously feel nervous when I'm about to say them.

"Wait a minute," Edvi said, not answering the question directly.

Sometimes adults don't need to spell things out when they talk to each other.

"Mmm." Xi Yun, who understood what Edvy meant, felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey and nodded quickly.

Then I saw Edwin take a thin gold bookmark from the table and insert it into the page of the book he had just been reading. The bookmark was also carved with bamboo.

After finishing this, Edvy closed the book and placed it on the right side of the table, then got up and walked towards Xi Yun, who was waiting at the door.

This was one of the few times that Edvy took the initiative to approach him. Looking at the female ruler, who was in even better shape than before their marriage, Xi Yun felt a surge of pride.

This is a little rose that he raised himself.

The bedroom is just a few steps away from the study.

Just after the two insects entered the bedroom, Xi Yun suddenly remembered something, and a hint of unease appeared in his eyes: "Edward, I'll go to the bathroom first."

Edwin: "Okay, you go ahead."

Xi Yun hurried towards the washroom.

The male insect darted away, taking the awkward silence with it, leaving Edvi staring at his retreating figure in confusion.

Xi Yun, who had come to the washbasin, went straight up to the large mirror in front of him.

Oh no, when I went upstairs to find Edvy, his hair was still a mess, like a bird's nest. It ruined his image.

Xi Yun felt annoyed.

After wetting my hands, I styled my hair in front of the mirror to look my best, only concerned with looking handsome in front of my wife. I didn't even realize that my hair would be messy again after I woke up.

Hmm, his face is clean and his hairstyle is perfect. Eddie will definitely take a second look at him later.

Things did indeed develop as Xi Yun had expected. When he came out of the bathroom and came to the bedside, Edwin, who was already sitting or lying on the bed, kept glancing at him.

"Why is your hair wet?" Edvie considerately took a towel from the bedside table and handed it to Xi Yun. "Hurry up and dry it off."

"..."

No, how come my wife didn't notice how carefully I dressed up?

Heartbroken, Xi Yun took the towel and smiled.

At least his wife gave him a towel.

However, the male insect's smile seemed somewhat stiff no matter how you looked at it.

Seeing Xi Yun haphazardly wiping his hair with a towel, Edward was afraid that Xi Yun would get sick after waking up, so he reached out and pulled Xi Yun back.

"Let me help you dry it, give me the towel."

"Okay." Xi Yun, who did not expect the unexpected benefit, handed the towel to the other party, grabbed a small stool and sat on the edge of the bed, while bowing his head towards the female ruler.

Sitting or lying down was really not a good position for drying hair, so Edvy came to the bedside, half-kneeled down to dry the other person's hair, and his movements were much gentler.

A dry towel hung down to cover his ears, and Xi Yun's gaze fell on Edvi's fair collarbone.

The loose, casual hem of the garment would occasionally ride up with the female insect's movements, sometimes revealing glimpses of her slender waist.

Xi Yun didn't dare to glance around carelessly, waiting like a tree stump for Edvi to finish wiping.

Fortunately, only a small amount of his hair had gotten wet, and Edvi quickly dried it, put the towel away, and left it.

This afternoon, Xi Yun's mood was like a rollercoaster ride.

But in the end, Xi Yun happily hugged the female ruler and took a nap together.

The afternoon temperature became exceptionally comfortable, and the birds in the trees nestled together in their nests to rest.

Because both insects stayed at home, we ate dinner earlier than usual tonight.

After dinner, Eddie went to the training room on the first floor.

Although this training room is not as good as the training grounds in the military, it is fully equipped. Even when he is at home, Eddie comes here to practice his skills.

When Xi Yun found Edwin, he was practicing shooting.

The target moved rapidly, its movement unpredictable. Edwin stood 20 meters away on the line, aimed at the center of the target, and fired.

With a few "bangs," the target in the distance stopped. Xiao Jin went over and made a record; all the shots were 10 rings.

Seeing that Edwin had achieved such good results, Xi Yun also wanted to give it a try.

Xi Yun stood at the shooting position, focusing intently on the moving target in front of him. The gun he was holding was the same one that Edwin had just fired.
