Yin Cheng sat down on the edge of the bed, and Lin Nian handed him that strange-looking thing.

"What is this?" Lin Nian asked. He had never seen such a strange thing before. It contained a lot of almonds and hazelnuts, and it looked like something that could be eaten.

Pearl curiously came over and squeezed into her father's arms, clutching the blankets with both hands, her big, black grape-like eyes blinking.

"I never thought I would actually go back..." Yin Cheng smiled gently. His teacher's wife probably never imagined that the chocolate she made could transcend time and space and that he would actually find someone to share it with.

My wife loves eating things like walnuts and almonds, so she's probably not allergic to nuts.

Yin Cheng tore open the packaging paper. Since they came from a parallel universe, he didn't dare give his wife too much, fearing she wouldn't be used to it. He only broke off a small piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Try it."

The sweet and mellow taste was tinged with a strong bitterness, yet it was also mixed with the oily aroma of nuts. Lin Nian's eyes lit up. "Although it tastes a bit bitter, it's exceptionally delicious!"

Pearl also received a small piece, and then showed the same expression as his little father.

Suddenly, Lin Nian had a flash of inspiration, "Husband, is this another world...?"

Yin Cheng covered his wife's mouth and nodded.

Lin Nian suddenly opened her eyes wide, then smiled with her eyes crinkling.

I seem to understand men a little better now.

Yin Cheng handed the remaining chocolates to his wife, "Niannian, this has a high sugar content, so don't eat too much at once. But it has a long shelf life, so it can be kept for a long time."

Lin Nian didn't understand what calories were, but she did understand the following sentence: "Then I'll get this tomorrow..."

Yin Cheng reminded him: "Chocolate."

"If you cut the chocolate into pieces and eat it sparingly, it can last for a while longer."

Lin Nian got up, walked to the cabinet, found a wooden box, and carefully stored the chocolate.

He said with some regret, "It's a pity there's only this one piece; once it's gone, there won't be any more."

Yin Cheng was both amused and exasperated. "Niannian, we're not that poor yet. After we get back to Beijing, we'll send someone to the West to look for cocoa trees. Then we can open a chocolate factory, create a high-end chocolate brand, and make a few million dollars from them."

"No wonder His Majesty always says that you always talk in a way he can't understand." Since Lin Nian learned that Yin Mo was a boy, in addition to the initial fear and tension, she also felt a lot of admiration.

He felt less constrained in the countryside, and his relationship with Yin Mo grew much closer.

"I had almost forgotten everything from before, but after going back, I remembered it all again."

Lin Nian asked, "You went back? When...?" The man had clearly been unconscious the whole time, could it be... his soul?

"It's probably consciousness," Yin Cheng said, unable to explain it clearly. "This is too mysterious; it's difficult to explain from a scientific perspective."

"Then my Ah Cheng will never leave again in this lifetime, right?" Lin Nian asked cautiously.

Yin Cheng met his wife's bright, watery eyes, hesitated for a brief two seconds, and then decisively picked up Pearl and walked out.

Pearl tilted her head. "Daddy?"

Yin Cheng knocked on his brother's door.

After a rustling sound inside the room, Yin Mo opened the door, his expression one of languid contentment.

"You'd better be busy." Yin Mo was a little unsteady on his feet and leaned against the man behind him.

Yin Cheng stuffed the pearl into his brother's hand and rushed back to his own room, as if he were being chased by a dog.

Lin Nian was still a little confused when she saw the man return empty-handed.

"Where are the pearls?"

Yin Cheng closed the door.

"Nian Nian".

Lin Nian asked, "What's wrong?"

The next moment, he was picked up by the man and quickly sank into the soft bedding.

"I won't leave, Niannian, your Acheng will always be with you."

The deep, intimate whispers were clearly audible. As the sweet kiss landed, Lin Nian shyly closed her eyes, but her lips curved slightly upward.

On the other side, Pearl and Yin Mo stared at each other.

Only Bai Yuchen heard the commotion next door. The usually aloof and detached man rolled his eyes in exasperation.

Yin Mo was startled. "Yu Chen, you just rolled your eyes, didn't you?"

Bai Yuchen said, "No."

Yin Mo chuckled and was about to go to bed with Pearl in his arms when he suddenly remembered something. His expression stiffened, and then he asked Pearl gently, "Baby, do you want to sleep with Brother Xiao Jiu tonight? He can tell stories."

Pearl wasn't shy at all. Hearing about storytelling, he immediately became interested, "Okay! I'll sleep with Brother Little Wine!"

Yin Mo stuffed the pearl into Bai Yuchen's hand, "Take the pearl with you."

Because their master had disappeared a few years ago and his fate was unknown, Xiao Jiu'er's marriage to Zhang Huailing was put on hold.

Although the wedding ceremony has not yet taken place, the two have signed an official marriage certificate, which means they are officially married.

When Bai Yuchen placed the pearl into Xiao Jiu'er's arms, Zhang Huailing couldn't refuse, because this person was the Empress of Da Yin...

No, he's not a young master; a proper empress can't be a young man...

Zhang Huailing racked his brains.

After a long pause, he finally managed to stammer out, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Bai Yuchen was stunned for a moment, then quickly accepted the title.

"Pearl wants to hear a story, so he'll sleep with you tonight."

"Okay." Little Jiu'er loves Pearl so much that she wants to hug and kiss it all the time.

After giving his instructions, Bai Yuchen squeezed Pearl's small hand before leaving.

Xiao Jiu'er and Zhang Huailing exchanged a glance.

Xiao Jiu patted his shoulder, "Brother Ling, why don't you go find your benefactor to spend the night with him?"

Zhang Huailing: "..."

Despite being passed around like a ball by her beloved father and uncle, Pearl still happily slept next to Little Wine, listening to stories.

Completely unaware that she had become the pitiful victim.

The next morning, feeling guilty, the father combed his baby's hair himself to express his deep love.

Unfortunately, he was willing but unable to do it, and he managed to turn a perfectly good boy into a wandering rogue.

Xiao Jiu'er had been watching this for a long time, and seeing the prince so confident and excited, he could only stand by anxiously.

In the end, Lin Nian struggled to get up and comb Pearl's hair.

The village chief's second son is getting married.

The village chief's husband made a special trip to the thatched cottage to invite Lin Nian to scatter fruit.

According to local custom in Huzhou, if the person scattering the fruit is good-looking, the newlyweds' future children will also be good-looking.

Originally, the village chief had arranged for the best-looking young man in the village to scatter the fruit.

As it turns out, the young man injured his leg while picking wild produce in the mountains a couple of days ago and is still resting in bed.

This greatly worried the village chief's husband, as the wedding date was fast approaching and they still hadn't managed to invite the fruit-scattering people.

If her newlywed husband saw this, he would probably think that his family was deliberately neglecting him.

If this causes a rift, he'll have nowhere to turn to for help.

At this moment, the village chief's husband remembered Shui Sheng's husband. Their Douzi Village had never had such a handsome person before.

Only then did he shamelessly go to the door to ask someone to scatter fruit.

Lin Nian found it very interesting and immediately agreed.
