Chapter 106 - 106: 104: The Two Reconcile: Officers Visit the Door
“You go first!”
The two of them said in unison again.
In the end, Liu Sisi nodded her head: “You go first.”
Di Yelei pondered for a moment and said earnestly: “Sisi, you’re right. I was wrong, I shouldn’t have forced you and been aggressive towards you, or lost my temper at you! I shouldn’t have made you angry! I promise there won’t be a next time. Please forgive me! From now on, I will treat you well and not let you be wronged! Sisi…”
“…Is that all you want to say?”
The smile on Liu Sisi’s face disappeared, her gaze heavy.
Di Yelei was somewhat uncertain, having said all that he should have said, but Liu Sisi’s expression was growing more and more unpleasant.
“Sisi, you’re so beautiful and capable, and also knowledgeable. I know I don’t deserve you. But I’m sincere about you! I’m truly committed to spending my life with you. It’s me who is stupid, foolish, and useless because I can’t earn enough silver! I… please forgive me. I promise there won’t be a next time! Sisi…”
Her movements suddenly paused, and she raised her head to glare at him!
In her heart, waves were surging, she wished she could slap him!
“Di Yelei, in your heart, is that really why you think I, Liu Sisi, am angry? Then you really underestimate me, Liu Sisi.”
Having said that, she put away the ink and brush from the table, rolled up the paper and put the books into the cloth bag, then walked straight into the bedroom.
“Sisi, don’t be angry…”
Di Yelei was suddenly anxious and hurriedly reached out to grab her arm.
But then, when she turned to look back, he quickly let go of her.
“Sisi, don’t be angry. If you have something to say, just say it. Even if a criminal made a mistake, they should be allowed to know exactly what they did wrong, don’t you think?”
“Fine then! Let’s not talk about your forcefulness today!”
Liu Sisi nodded: “Di Yelei, let me ask you. Since you saw Zhang Shixin bully me that day, why didn’t you come out to help and instead hid yourself? Tell me, huh? Tell me!”
“I… Sisi, hear me out!”
Di Yelei avoided her gaze, lowered his head, and suddenly didn’t know how to continue.
“Sisi, that day I came back from the old house and searched everywhere for you. I just heard some noise outside, so I hurriedly walked out of the courtyard. I looked up and saw you struggling with him. Before I could speak, you shook him off. I… I was afraid you’d feel embarrassed if you saw me, so I hid myself, not thinking it would lead to so many misunderstandings.”
“Is it really as you say?” Liu Sisi narrowed her eyes slightly.
Di Yelei suddenly raised his head and raised his right hand: “Sisi! You are my, Di Yelei’s wife, and I promise! From now on, anyone who dares to bully you has to get past me, Di Yelei, first. Even myself is not an exception. If I break this oath, I will…”
“Stop! Why are you making such a vow so casually?”
Liu Sisi quickly grabbed his hand, rolled her eyes: “Just remember what you said today, that’s enough.”
Having said that, she poked his chest with a finger: “And most importantly! Don’t ever let me find out you don’t trust me. If you believe someone’s instigation so easily again, see how I’ll deal with you!”
Having said that, she let go of him and walked into the bedroom by herself.
Di Yelei’s face brightened up, did Sisi’s words mean she had forgiven him?
“Sisi, have you forgiven me? I will definitely remember what I said today, don’t worry! Sisi—”
Di Yelei hurriedly followed her into the room, looking like he wanted to please her as he trailed behind her.
It didn’t look like something a 28-year-old man would do at all!
Liu Sisi secretly found it amusing.
Although she had forgiven him in her heart, she couldn’t let him off so easily. She couldn’t swallow this!
“Hmph! There’s no such thing as an easy way out!”
She picked up a pillow nearby and threw it directly at him!
“Now we’re in an observation period! Until I’m sure you’ve changed and I’ve forgiven you, you go sleep in Di Xuan’s room! Without my permission, don’t come into this room any further, do you hear me?”
Seeing the beautiful angle of her lips curl up and those two small dimples, Di Yelei was completely captivated and intoxicated!
How he was pushed out of the room, he didn’t even notice.
By the time he realized it, the bedroom door had closed in front of him. Accompanied by the sound of the bolt being fastened, a soft laughter from a certain lady inside could be heard.
Di Yelei stood there, dumbfounded.
Sisi… she laughed?
Di Yelei stood alone at the door, smiling foolishly for a long time, until the candlelight in the room was extinguished. Then he turned and walked towards Di Xuan’s room.
After two steps, he suddenly remembered that he had left his change of clothes in the bedroom!
He raised his arm to knock on the door, but thought better of it.
He hadn’t slept well for the past two days, and Sisi’s complexion was not good either. He decided to let her have a good night’s sleep, and get his clothes tomorrow.
With that, he spoke softly in a low voice, “Sisi, I promise you, if you don’t want me to enter the room, I won’t. It’s getting late; you should get some rest.”
Not caring if she heard or not, he grinned, took his pillow, and headed to Di Xuan’s room.
In the bedroom, Liu Sisi couldn’t sleep. Naturally, she had heard what he said.
A sweet feeling welled up in her heart, and she couldn’t help but smile! What an honest man!
She thought he would just pin her down…
The thought made her cheeks burn, and her ears felt as if they were on fire. She couldn’t help but cover them!
So embarrassing!
How could she have thought of such things?
But didn’t this also show that he truly cared about her feelings?
She pulled the thin quilt tightly around herself, still smelling his unique male aura. This scent was incredibly comforting and gave her a sense of security, just like how he made her feel—as if he were right beside her, holding her tight!
Liu Sisi smiled faintly and slowly drifted off to dreamland.
Before dawn, the sound of shoveling outside woke Liu Sisi. Yawning and rubbing her eyes, last night’s memories returned to her mind as she sat up.
Outside, Di Yelei was sweating profusely, shoveling dirt near the well. Seemingly noticing Liu Sisi’s gaze, he turned to look at her, grinning goofily with his big mouth, and then straightened his back.
“Sisi, are you up? Breakfast is already cooked in the pot; you should eat soon.”
As he spoke, he wiped his sweat with the towel on his shoulder and continued shoveling dirt.
“Okay… you should eat too.”
Liu Sisi hesitated for a moment before speaking awkwardly. It seemed she had slept so deeply that she didn’t even know when he got up and prepared breakfast.
The two children were still asleep, so the couple ate quietly. Di Yelei had a good appetite, constantly adding dishes to Liu Sisi’s bowl, with more than half of the rabbit meat ending up in her bowl.
Seeing Liu Sisi looking at him, he hurriedly grinned goofily.
After some thought, Liu Sisi took two pieces of rabbit meat from her bowl and placed them into his. “You eat too; I can’t eat that much.”
“Oh! This is what Sisi gave me; of course, I’ll eat. Sisi, you eat too! Eat!”
As he spoke, he put the pieces of meat she had given him into his mouth and quickly chewed it up.
Watching him eat so heartily, Liu Sisi’s mood improved.
After tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, she was about to continue copying the book, A New Account of the Tales of the World, when a sudden commotion came from outside.
Unable to resist, the two dropped their tasks and went out into the courtyard.
From a distance, they saw several officers walking into the village from the riverside path, knocking on the neighbors’ doors one by one and speaking to everyone.
Liu Sisi and Di Yelei exchanged glances, and both saw surprise in each other’s eyes.
“Could something have happened? Let’s go and see!”
