Chapter 196: Need to Release Some Heat
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Mother, Mother!”
When Su Ying and the others returned home, they happened to bump into Chu Yun bringing the little ones home.
The older toddler Ji and the younger toddler Ling hurriedly jumped down from the horse carriage when they saw Su Ying.
“Mother, what is this?” Ling asked curiously with her big eyes wide open.
“Stupid Ling, this is a deer. You’ve seen it in the deer enclosure before,” the older toddler Ji said in disdain.
Ling’s tiny face puffed up, and she went over to hug Su Ying’s leg petulantly. “Mother, is it a deer?”
Su Ying picked her up. “Yes, it’s deer. We’re having deer meat tonight.”
Ling gave an exclamation. “Little Deer is so cute. How can you eat Little Deer?”
“Ling, Grandpa Hea will make venison buns for you tonight, okay?” Hea Shouyi opened the gate and walked out when he heard the commotion.
Ling wriggled her body away from Su Ying and ran over. “Grandpa Hea, are the venison buns very delicious?”
Hea Shouyi patted her tiny head and said with a smile, “It’s very delicious.”
Ling gave a joyous cheer. “1 want to eat venison buns! I want to eat venison buns!”
Ji rolled his eyes speechlessly. Didn’t she just say that Little Deer was too cute to eat?
“Mistress, you are really good at hunting.” Hea Shouyi looked at the deer on the ground and praised her sincerely. Every time Su Ying went hunting, she never returned empty-handed.
“Let’s get the deer inside and deal with it quickly. The weather is getting cold. We can make a venison hotpot to eat. After that, we’ll be warm when we sleep at night.” Murong De also came out and when he saw the deer, his eyes lit up.
He and Hea Shouyi happily dragged the deer to the backyard to process it. Bai Shuang and the others also put down their work and went to help.
The two little fellows wanted to follow them to watch but were stopped by Chu Yun. “You guys still have to practice writing big characters today. It’s not too late to play after you finish writing.”
The faces of the two little ones sank, and they were reluctantly led upstairs by Chu Yun to practice writing.
Venison was indeed very nutritious. They had many people, and a deer was only enough to feed dozens of people after it had been processed. Other than the few women at home, the others were all doing physical hard labor outside. Their appetites were also very big. In the end, there was not even a drop of soup left after they finished eating the deer.
“Mistress, a batch of charcoal is ready today. I’ve asked someone to bring some back. As for the remaining charcoal logs, 1 asked them to divide them up to bring back and store them in the shop.”
Previously, Su Ying had asked them to build a few shops near the school. She planned to use one of them to sell charcoal, but the price wouldn’t be high. It was just a place for those who didn’t have enough charcoal in the winter to replenish their supplies.
“Mm-hmm. Just put them there first. After the shop is full, you can let them distribute the charcoal they made and bring it home.”
“Alright.”
Perhaps it was because she had eaten a lot of venison, but Su Ying felt extremely hot at night. Her entire body felt like it was in a furnace, and she had no choice but to sit up in bed. She planned to go outside to enjoy the cool breeze.
Su Ying had just walked out of the room when she was suddenly hugged from behind. She got a shock at first, but then she heard Xiao Jin’s voice from behind her.
“Su Ying.”
His deep voice sounded particularly alluring in the silent night.
“What are you doing? Let go. It’s so hot.”
However, Xiao Jin pressed his face against her neck. The scorching heat sent shivers down Su Ying’s spine. “Have you fallen ill?”
Xiao Jin tightened his grip on her. “I think so.”
Su Ying furrowed her brows, squatted down, and carried him up on her back.
Xiao Jin was utterly speechless.
Su Ying flung him down straightaway… onto the bed. “If you’re sick, just lie down obediently. Why are you still moving around? Let me check your pulse.”
Xiao Jin closed his eyes and stretched out his arm while lying on the bed listlessly.
When Su Ying took his pulse, she found that although his body was very hot, it was not the kind of heat that came from being sick. “You’re not sick. If you’re feeling hot, go out and enjoy the cold wind.” With that, she released his hand and was about to leave.
To her surprise, Xiao Jin grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his bed.
Su Ying stumbled and fell onto his chest.
“Oof.”
She struggled free from his hands and wanted to get up, but he simply picked her up and flipped her onto the bed.
How could Su Ying be willing to be shackled by him? After she fell, she clamped her legs around his waist, flipped over, and sat on top of him, pressing her palm against his face.
“Xiao Jin, you want to sleep with me, is it?”
Xiao Jin was stunned and instinctively answered, “Yes.”
Su Ying gave him a big slap on the forehead. “Get lost.” Then, she nimbly flipped over and leaped to the door, opened it, and walked out.
The cold wind blew against Su Ying’s face, and she shivered from the cold. The heat on her body had dissipated quite a bit. She felt that it was necessary for Xiao Jin to come outside to get some fresh air so that he wouldn’t only know how to think with his lower body.
Su Yun returned to her room and saw Xiao Jin lying on her bed.
Previously, when the house was completed, he had said that sleeping on one bed was too cramped, so he told Tian Mu to make two beds. Su Ying slept with the kids on the big bed while he slept on the small bed. Why was he on her bed now?
“Are you lying in the wrong place?”
Xiao Jin opened his eyes and looked at her. “The children are cold. I’m warming them up.”
Su Ying reached out and touched the two children’s heads. How could he call that cold? They were already perspiring!
“This is my bed. Get up.”
Su Ying pushed him toward the edge of the bed, but Xiao Jin refused to let go of the two children in his arms.
The veins on Su Ying’s forehead bulged up. “Are you getting up or not?”
“You can sleep on my bed.”
Hmph!
She had her own bed, so why should she sleep in his?
“Fine. 1’11 let you sleep.” Su Ying pushed him further to the middle of the bed and then simply lay down beside him and closed her eyes.
Xiao Jin looked at her back and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
“Actually, you can sleep in my bed.”
“Shut up!”
Su Ying took a deep breath and suppressed the annoyance within her body. She could have thrown him out, but the annoyance in her body lessened somewhat when she was closer to him, so she thought she might as well let him sleep.
Soon, Su Ying’s breathing became regular.
This time, Xiao Jin was really depressed. He carefully carried the two children to his bed and then walked back to Su Ying’s side to lie down. However, when he smelled the scent of her body, the restlessness in his body became more and more clamorous.
In the end, he could only get up and go outside to let the cold wind calm him down.
Jiang Yang, who was guarding the courtyard, glanced at Xiao Jin and pretended not to see him. Master and Mistress had eaten a lot of meat tonight. It was probably unbearable!
“Gosh! Father, your nose is bleeding.”
Su Ying opened her eyes amid Ling’s exclamation and saw the expressionless Xiao Jin with two nosebleeds flowing out of his nose.
The corner of Su Ying’s eyes twitched. This rascal seemed to be holding it in quite strenuously.
She took a handkerchief and threw it into his hand. “Hurry up and wipe your nose. Don’t frighten the children.”
Aunt Zhao heard the commotion and quickly ran over. She glanced at Xiao Jin and muttered softly, “This is really… Master needs to release some heat…” After saying that, she did not forget to look at Su Ying meaningfully..
