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

"Qingxuan and Qingci went the first two days, and Anlan and I went the next two days."

Luo Yunshu smiled slightly and said, "If anyone comes over to talk to us, we'll stop them."

Xia An nodded slightly.

"That works too. Don't push yourselves too hard while you're working, someone will help you."

Luo Yunshu nodded and smiled, "Brother Xia An, we know."

Then, as if realizing something, she asked, "Brother Xia An, aren't you going?"

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "I heard it's tiring, is it wrong for me to slack off a little?"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice slightly.

"Besides, isn't it good for me to stay home with you?"

Luo Yunshu blinked, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said with a strange expression:

"But why do I always have this feeling that you have ulterior motives, Brother Xia An?"

"Yeah?"

Xia An chuckled lightly, "Then you should be right, I do indeed have ulterior motives."

Luo Yunshu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

"We already belong to Xia An, what more could you want?"

"you guess!"

Xia An smiled knowingly.

Luo Yunshu blushed, as if thinking of something, and couldn't help but glare at him.

"You're so naughty, always thinking about that!"

With that, he turned around and went to dry the herbs.

Xia An laughed and quickly followed, joining her in drying the herbs.

In the ward,

Upon seeing Kong Qingci enter, Xie Lingyun's expression panicked, and she quickly lowered her head.

"Qingci, what brings you here?"

Kong Qingci glanced at her, a hint of helplessness flashing in her beautiful eyes.

The secret passage, just as I suspected!

This man really made a move on Lingyun; her little lips are now pink and bright red.

She shook her head and smiled, "I didn't sleep well last night, so I came to rest for a while."

"Is Lingyun feeling unwell somewhere?"

"No..." Xie Lingyun waved her hand, her face showing some panic, and she bit her lower lip lightly.

Kong Qingci walked over and sat down, saying something meaningful:

"If you like him, just go for it, but he's a bit of a womanizer, so be prepared."

Xie Lingyun's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she waved her hands repeatedly, trying to explain:

"Sister Qingci, I didn't."

Seeing her like this, Kong Qingci's lips curled into a slight smile.

She held Xie Lingyun's hand, her expression earnest and serious, and said:

"He's a good person, but he's ambitious. If you really like him, he won't refuse you."

"But have you thought it through?"

"If one day you find out he has other women besides you, can you accept that?"

Xie Lingyun was stunned, staring blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar older sister in front of her.

Sister Qingci is usually aloof and unparalleled, and rarely speaks. What's wrong with her today?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Kong Qingci gritted his teeth slightly and continued:

"If I'm not mistaken, you guys did something out of line just now, didn't you?"

Xie Lingyun panicked. "No...no, it's not Brother Xia's fault..."

Seeing how nervous she was, Kong Qingci couldn't help but sigh softly.

There was a time when she would have protected Xia An in the same way, but now...

Now, they have become one, an important part of each other's lives.

Next,

This little girl must be the one. Will she be able to figure this out?

Kong Qingci's mind raced, and she tried her best to keep her voice calm.

"Was it him who took the initiative, or you? And what were your thoughts?"

Xie Lingyun's face stiffened, she lowered her head, not daring to look at her, and whispered:

"It was me... I took the initiative. I think I like Brother Xia..."

"It's not 'should,' it's 'definitely,'" Kong Qingci said firmly.

"So, given how things are going to be, what are you planning to do?"

Xie Lingyun bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes filled with anticipation and trepidation, and whispered,

"I'll ask Brother Xia for his opinion later. Is it okay if we get our marriage certificate?"

"No, that won't work," Kong Qingci shook her head, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"You're the newcomer, how can Xia An register our marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyun abruptly looked up, her gaze filled with astonishment as she looked at Kong Qingci.

"Qingci, what do you mean by that?"

Kong Qingci's lips curled into a slight smile. "Anyone you pick out from this courtyard likes him. You can't possibly not see that, can you?"

"If you're willing to take the initiative, won't others do the same?"

Xie Lingyun's expression stiffened slightly; she had suspected this beforehand.

It was just uncertain before, but unexpectedly, Kong Qingci revealed it directly.

Yes,

If everyone else is like her, or even her predecessors, and has an advantage over her,

How could Brother Xia have gotten a marriage certificate with her?

Moreover, if it were up to his parents' wishes, Brother Xia would probably be even more unwilling.

Thus, she had no hope to begin with, and now she has even less hope.

Thinking this, her mood couldn't help but sink, and tears seemed to well up in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Kong Qingci sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat helpless.

My husband is really... amorous. Is this what you call killing without burying?

After a moment's thought, Kong Qingci, considering her husband's fighting prowess, decided to do something.

She held Xie Lingyun's hand, her expression earnest and her tone sincere.

"Lingyun, can you tell me what you're thinking?"

Xie Lingyun gave a bitter smile.

"What else can we think?"

"Sister Qingci, you're all so outstanding, Brother Xia is destined not to choose me."

"In that case, I can only wish Brother Xia all the best, can I?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Qingci's expression turned strange, and she said in a low voice:

"Didn't you ever think about why he hasn't rejected you, even though he's been sleeping with other people?"

Xie Lingyun blinked, recalling what had just happened, and fell into deep thought.

Why?

Could it be...?

Recalling what Kong Qingci said earlier, could it be that Brother Xia is really a womanizer?

So...

Thinking of something, she frowned slightly, her voice hesitant:

"Sister Qingci, do you mean Brother Xia wants... both of them?"

Kong Qingci's lips curled up slightly. "It seems Lingyun guessed it too. Clever!"

Xie Lingyun's lips twitched slightly. "Qingci has already given me such a strong hint. If I still can't guess it, then there's a problem."

Kong Qingci nodded slightly, then looked at her with a leisurely gaze.

"So, now that you know about this, what do you plan to do?"

Xie Lingyun bit her lower lip lightly. "Qingci, I don't know what to do?"

"Do you not know what to do? Or do you have ideas but don't want to tell me?"

Kong Qingci looked at her with a playful expression, a half-smile on his face.

"I……"

Xie Lingyun paused slightly, then, as if realizing something, looked at Kong Qingci with a puzzled expression.

"Qingci, from what you just said, it seems you've taken the initiative too?"

"If that's the case, then why did you encourage me to try and win over Brother Xia?"

She stared intently at Kong Qingci, somewhat bewildered by her behavior.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Kong Qingci's lips as she spoke in a leisurely voice:

"I want to know!"

"Tell me first what you want to do, or what you need, and I'll tell you why I'm doing it this way, okay?"

Xie Lingyun blinked, shook her head, and whispered:

"Sister Qingci, I really don't know what to do, or what to do?"

Kong Qingci raised an eyebrow slightly, but saw Xie Lingyun grit her teeth and continue speaking...
