Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

The phone alarm rang precisely at 7:20 in the morning.

Ying Yuchuan opened his eyes and instinctively reached for his phone on the bedside table, not wanting the ringtone to wake the person next to him.

Just as he turned off the alarm, Lu Luozhi, who was sleeping soundly nestled in his arms, began to show signs of waking up.

She slowly opened her eyes, still half asleep, and the first thing she saw was Ying Yuchuan's handsome face.

His face was very, very close to hers, so close that she could clearly see his thick, raven-feather-like eyelashes. "Sleep a little longer, it's still early."

He pulled the blanket back up for her as it slipped off.

She stared at him, bewildered.

He asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

The man's voice was unusually hoarse and magnetic in the early morning. To Lu Luozhi, it was like drinking strong liquor, leaving her in a daze...

wrong!

Suddenly, she snapped out of her reverie.

Because she realized that she was actually leaning against Ying Yuchuan's chest.

One of her legs was still draped over someone's waist...

Oh, heavens and earth!

As her sleepiness vanished, she was startled and quickly moved her leg back, hastily pulling away from his embrace to create some distance between them.

In her hasty movements, she accidentally fell off the bed at Ying Yuchuan's shout.

Ying Yuchuan tried to stop her, but it was too late.

She fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Ying Yuchuan quickly threw off the covers and got out of bed.

Are you alright?

"No, it's nothing..."

Before he arrived, Luluzhi had already scrambled to his feet in a panic.

What happened to her leg? How did it end up on someone's body?

Deer branch, oh deer branch, where is your face? Do you have no shame at all?

"Haha, my legs seem to be acting up, they've inexplicably ended up on your stomach, haha..."

Lu Luozhi laughed awkwardly a few times, trying to make amends, "Don't worry about me, go wash up, change your clothes, and go exercise."

Ying Yuchuan pulled her along and personally examined her from head to toe.

Seeing that she hadn't hurt herself anywhere, I felt a little relieved. "Don't always be so careless."

"Girls should act like girls."

"I didn't chase you or push you, you just fell down on your own."

"..."

I was nagging by that old-fashioned man first thing in the morning.

Lu Luozhi dared not reply, for if she did, things would get even worse.

She rubbed her sore bottom, silently sat down on the edge of the bed, and stared blankly into the direction of the bathroom, lost in thought.

It wasn't until Ying Yuchuan finished washing up and returned from exercising that he sensed something was wrong with her.

His young wife was unusually quiet today.

Like now, she's sitting cross-legged on the bed, lost in thought.

He seemed preoccupied.

He stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I have intermittent seizures."

"Um."

Ying Yuchuan gave a brief reply, then went into the bathroom, took a quick shower, changed into a suit and tie, and prepared to have breakfast.

He didn't invite her to come along.

Lu Luozhi tilted her head, her gaze lingering on his strong, broad back in his suit, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Hey, Ying Yuchuan, why didn't you call me to have breakfast together?"

He stopped and turned around. "You're going crazy."

He spoke very seriously.

Actually, he didn't require her to follow his biological clock. He let her sleep as late as she wanted. Anyway, he had already instructed Lao Ye to prepare breakfast for her and keep it warm, so he could serve it to her whenever she got up.

He also consulted a nutritionist and provided a meal plan to the family cook, determined to improve her malnutrition.

"Then call me first."

Ying Yuchuan was already used to her quirky and playful personality.

He patiently echoed her words, "Would you like to have breakfast together?"

"it is good."

She responded cheerfully, and as if suddenly injected with adrenaline, she jumped out of bed, her previously quiet demeanor replaced by a burst of energy.

"Don't move too much; your knee injury will take some time to heal."

He couldn't help but nag about her like an old woman.

"Wait five minutes."

Ignoring him, she swept into the bathroom like a tornado to wash up.

She peeked out while brushing her teeth and gave him some instructions.

"Don't run away!"

"I will wait for you."

Ying Yuchuan chuckled slightly at her childish behavior.

Of course, she didn't see it.

Lu Luozhi moved quickly, washing her face and changing her clothes in less than five minutes.

"Let's go."

She walked to his right.

On the way to the main house, unusually, she didn't say a word, just walked quietly.

Ying Yuchuan also slowed his pace, not wanting to walk too fast and leave her behind. As they walked, he earnestly instructed her, "If there's nothing to do today, stay home."

"And don't wander around."

"..."

"Girls should act like girls."

"Don't act crazy all the time."

"..."

Lu Luozhi picked at his ear.

She seems to have experienced temporary hearing loss.

Something's really wrong with her.

Ying Yuchuan keenly noticed this.

She only becomes quiet when she has a fever or is sick, but now she suddenly doesn't say a word?

"Is something wrong?"

He stopped and asked her.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Lu Luozhi lowered her head, her right toe kicking the ground absently with boredom.

"It's nothing."

The voice sounded off, muffled.

This is nothing like her.

"Look up at me."

Seeing that she didn't move, Ying Yuchuan directly used his right hand to forcefully lift her chin, making her look at him.

His sharp eyes stared intently at her, making Lu Luozhi turn her face away uncomfortably.

"It's really nothing."

"You're lying."

Ying Yuchuan exposed her despicable lie without batting an eye.

"Tell me, what's wrong? Is there something you can't solve?"

His gaze was as sharp as a knife, shattering all her pretense.

Biting her lower lip, Lu Luozhi knew she wasn't the type of girl to be coy, so she steeled herself and asked him.

"Do you regret marrying me?"

Ying Yuchuan's expression remained unchanged, not at all.

However, his tough and serious demeanor had softened somewhat.

His deep gaze was fixed on her.

Why do you ask that?

Her eyes darted left and right, but she dared not look him in the eye.

He stammered, "It seems you don't want to touch me."

"Yes, I know I'm not in a good figure, and maybe you still have your own 'white moonlight' in your heart..."

What does "white moonlight" mean?

The unfamiliar term made Ying Yuchuan frown.

Lu Luozhi was taken aback.

He doesn't even know this word?

However, this is not the key issue.

Ying Yuchuan could tell from her words that she seemed to be a little bothered by what happened last night.

Why doesn't he touch her?

That's a good question.

He asked her seriously, "First, answer me one question: do you know why this engagement exists?"

She was stunned.

He asked again, "And do you even know why I was willing to get a marriage certificate with someone I didn't even know back then?"

Lu Luozhi couldn't answer either of these questions.

She had no idea how the engagement came about.

Grandma didn't tell her that directly at the time.

He lowered his right hand from her chin and instead grasped her wrist.

"Once you figure out these two questions, once you remember me, I'll tell you why I don't touch you. Now, go have breakfast."
