Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

Yang Yanqiu lay on the kang (heated brick bed) in his new home, a smile playing on his lips.

She has a new home now, a new home that belongs to her and Xia An!

Just then, the door quietly opened, and a figure slipped into the bed.

Yang Yanqiu was startled, but then she heard a familiar voice beside her.

"Yanqiu, have you missed me?"

Yang Yanqiu heard the voice but did not answer. Instead, he got up and lit the kerosene lamp.

Looking at the familiar face before him, and the flame mark between his brows,

Yang Yanqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey~, you're already inside, can't you use your voice?"

Xia An smiled sheepishly, removing her disguise of "Following the Heart's Secret."

"Will this work?"

The flame mark between his eyebrows vanished into thin air, and his voice returned to normal.

Yang Yanqiu blinked, extinguished the kerosene lamp, and threw herself into his arms.

"An~, I miss you so much."

Xia An hugged her and chuckled softly, "How much did you miss me? Where did you miss me?"

"I really, really want to..."

As Yang Yanqiu spoke, she suddenly realized something and blushed.

"It thought about it too."

"Yeah?"

Xia An chuckled softly, "I miss you all too, I miss you so much."

"Yanqiu~"

"Hmm~"

Yang Yanqiu responded softly, her voice delicate and slightly nasal.

Xia An leaned close to her ear and said, "You know, we've already got our marriage certificate and moved into our new house, but there's still some important stuff we haven't done yet."

"Is it serious business?" Yang Yanqiu felt her body go limp, a hint of confusion on her face.

Is there anything else important to do?

Xia An hugged her and fell onto the kang (a heated brick bed), chuckling softly, "We haven't consummated our marriage yet."

"Mmm~"

……

After more than an hour,

Yang Yanqiu once again witnessed Xia An's abilities, just like before.

She nestled in Xia An's arms, a warm smile radiating from her pretty face, her voice gentle.

"Peace~"

"We have our own little family now, I'm so happy!"

Xia An gently patted her, a smile also on her face, "I'm happy too."

"If I miss you in the future, I can come over directly without having to think about anything else."

Yang Yanqiu instantly understood his meaning and couldn't help but show a reproachful expression.

"You~"

"I keep thinking about those kinds of things, but it's really inconvenient in my old home."

Xia An smiled.

That's right, there's only one kang (heated brick bed) in the house, so you can't even get intimate.

At this time,

Yang Yanqiu suddenly seemed to realize something, and a look of doubt and worry appeared on her face.

"An~ I remember closing the door just now, how did you get in?"

Xia An shook her head and chuckled, "The door is closed. Even if others wanted to break it open, it would be very difficult, but they can't stop me."

"So from now on, just close the door normally at night, you don't need to leave it open for me, understand?"

Yang Yanqiu blinked, nodded gently, and said softly, "I understand."

"Oh, by the way, I've prepared a surprise for you in the west wing, you should go there now."

"Um?"

Xia An raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

When he came in, he could hear breathing sounds coming from both the east and west inner rooms.

He had taken a quick look before coming over, so he naturally knew what was in the west wing.

His expression was strange. "What did you say to get her to come?"

Yang Yanqiu blinked slightly. "It seems you've already gone to see it, so it's not a surprise anymore."

Xia An shook her head and chuckled, "It was a surprise, but I heard two breathing sounds as soon as I entered the room, so I just went over to take a look."

"I was planning to let her move in, but I haven't told you yet."

"A greedy man~" Yang Yanqiu chuckled lightly, then whispered:

"Zhiyi and I are close. Although she kept your affair a secret from others, she told me about it in private."

"I told her that I could help you and her get together, and she naturally agreed."

"As for the Chen family, I meant that I live alone and it's a bit empty, so I wanted her to keep me company."

"The Chen family knew that you... Xia Jiang had returned to Xiajiatun, so they agreed."

Xia An nodded slightly, "That's fine then. Xia Jiang won't be showing up for the time being, so you can rest assured and stay here."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yanqiu seemed to realize something and felt a sense of unease.

"By the way, didn't you say Xia Jiang's identity was fake? Then what about Xia Ming?"

Xia An smiled and said, "They are both fake identities I prepared, but they are special cases."

"You can think of it as a shadow in a special state, or a puppet."

"A puppet? A shadow?"

Yang Yanqiu asked in confusion and surprise, "How could a shadow possibly exist?"

"You know about your man's little tricks, that's enough."

Xia An said softly, "Don't ask any more questions, and don't say any more, okay?"

Yang Yanqiu smiled and nodded, "I understand, you should go now."

"I'm a little tired, I need to rest."

Xia An nodded.

But then Yang Yanqiu slowly closed his eyes, not forgetting to give the instructions:

"Go back early, don't let them get exposed."

Xia An smiled, tucked her in, and then went to the west room.

Hearing the door open, Chen Zhiyi sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"Sister Yang, you..."

"Zhiyi, that's me."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chen Zhiyi quickly lit the kerosene lamp and looked over.

Her beautiful eyes widened. "Brother Xia, what brings you here?"

Xia An stepped forward and hugged her: "Guess!"

Chen Zhiyi blinked, her face slightly bewildered, but mostly filled with surprise.

"I thought Sister Yang was just teasing me, but it turns out it's true."

Xia An chuckled, "Of course it's true, I came here specifically to find you."

As he spoke, he looked down at her.

As if she knew no one was around, or as if she had now confirmed her feelings for Xia An, she had removed the birthmark from her face as a disguise.

On her delicate and adorable little face,

The slight sallowness from malnutrition was still there, but her skin had become even fairer.

It really looks great!

Chen Zhiyi blushed, looked up at Xia An, and said nervously:

"Brother Xia, is it good?"

"nice!"

Xia An responded, then immediately lowered his head.

Chen Zhiyi seemed to know what was about to happen and slowly closed her eyes.

……

"Congratulations, host, on your successful special check-in! You have received 16 special honeycomb stoves, one vest, and a special honeycomb briquette synthesis stove."

……

A long time has passed.

Chen Zhiyi nestled in Xia An's arms, her little face beaming with a satisfied smile.

"Brother Xia, did Sister Yang really send you here?"

Xia An shook her head and smiled. "Silly girl, didn't you ever think that your Sister Yang also loves and cares about me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiyi was taken aback, blinked in surprise, and said:

"Huh? But didn't Sister Yang marry Xia Jiang? How could this be...?"

Xia An smiled and explained his relationship with Yang Yanqiu to her directly.

And the matter of a fake identity.

"You just need to know about this, but you can't tell anyone, understand?"

Chen Zhiyi nodded quickly, her eyes growing brighter and brighter, her face filled with anticipation.

"Brother Xia, I also want to use a fake identity to get a marriage certificate with you, is that okay?"

"Can!"

Xia An readily agreed, "I'll take you there in a couple of days once I'm all ready."

"Thank you, Brother Xia."

Chen Zhiyi said happily, her eyes full of smiles and anticipation.

Getting a marriage certificate means you don't have to live at home anymore.

Then, she can live with Sister Yang, and together with...

Thinking about it, her face flushed even more, making her look exceptionally beautiful.
