Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 183 - 183: 181: My Little Kitten at Home Cares for Me

What a busy time!

Liu Sisi was busy tidying up the bed. Di Yelei was coming back tonight, and she had just taken out the washed quilt from two days ago and put on fresh pillowcases.

She then went to the kitchen, filled up the dishes with the cooked food, and brought them out.

Di Yelei finally stepped out of the bathroom after a few rounds of hot water refilling, brushing his hair as he entered the room.

His long hair hung loosely over his shoulders, showing off his rugged and tall figure.

His bronze-colored skin was clearly patterned, with defined muscles bulging out, changing shape as he brushed his hair.

On his chiseled face, a pair of sharp and deep eyes showed extreme joy at the moment.

“This trip has really worn me out. We’ve been traveling and chasing non-stop for days, and then rushing back home without resting for a dozen more days, so I must have smelled awful. Sisi, you’ve really worked hard these days.”

Liu Sisi glared at him, but her joy could not be hidden.

“You’re so naughty, using a bear skin to carry home some wild animals. I thought it was a black bear outside!”

Di Yelei’s face also showed delight: “You ran so fast when you saw me, I thought there was an intruder in our house. Luckily, I had game on my shoulder, otherwise…” He probably would have retaliated with a few punches!

“Is there a thief like me?”

Liu Sisi gave him a look: “Hurry up and eat, then have a good sleep. Look at your beard, as long as a black bear’s.”

“You say I look like a black bear? Is there a black bear as good-looking as me? Sisi, hmm?”

Some shameless person smiled and leaned towards Liu Sisi, deliberately using the long beard on his face to tease her neck.

Liu Sisi dodged the annoying harassment: “Even a black bear is better looking than you, quickly move away! Don’t play around, just eat up. It’s late, and you haven’t eaten yet.”

“I’m so hungry, so I’m eating hard… hmm, Sisi, you smell so good…beautiful.”

He sniffed her small body’s scent like a little puppy.

“Stop messing around! Hurry up and eat your meal!”

Liu Sisi forcefully pushed him to sit down at the dining table: “How did you get so smelly before? It was really unbearable! And what’s wrong with your voice? Why is it so hoarse?”

“It’s the smell of a fruit that grows on the trees in the mountains. The scent can help people avoid being tracked by wild animals. I was in a rush to come back and forgot to clean up in the mountains, so…”

While explaining, Di Yelei picked up his bowl and bamboo chopsticks and started eating: “As for my voice, it might be because I caught a cold, but it’ll be fine in a few days.”

He casually glossed over everything.

The truth is that this trip was really dangerous, so close, so close…he might not have made it back.

When facing death, his heart and eyes were filled with her, the little woman who made him worry endlessly! At that moment, he had a strong belief in his heart!

He wanted to survive! To survive!

Not that he was afraid of death, but he feared that if he really died, this little woman he could not let go even in death would be sad, heartbroken.

So he survived!

But he didn’t plan to tell the little woman in front of him about the hardships.

Looking at the little kitten with a beautiful smile in front of him, he raised his head and smiled silly, eating quickly.

Liu Sisi didn’t know when Di Yelei would come back, so she cooked some braised pork according to his taste, ready at home. Di Yelei loved this braised pork, which showcased the unique flavor of the game.

“After eating, go and rest first. Once you’re back this time, stay at home for a few more days and don’t go into the mountains again. The mountains are really dangerous.”

While he was eating, Liu Sisi took the ointment from the room, walked behind him, and pushed aside his half-dried long hair to reveal the wound hidden by the hair.

It was a few strange scratches, as if some animal had bitten down but then quickly released, leaving behind a deep indentation with skin and flesh curling around it.

Although it had already scabbed over, it was not hard to imagine the danger of being choked when the injury initially occurred!

The cool ointment applied to the skin made Di Yelei’s eating motion pause!

After a moment, he picked up his bowl and resumed eating.

“Does it still hurt?”

Liu Sisi’s voice came from behind him, very soft and shallow.

Her fingertips were even colder than the ointment, and as they passed over his skin, his muscles twitched.

Yet a warmth flowed through his heart, soothing its intense heat for a brief moment.

“It doesn’t hurt. Really, not a bit.”

Suddenly, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, reached out, and grabbed her small hand, wrapping it and the porcelain bottle containing the ointment together.

His sharp and deep eyes were firmly locked on her small face, and the honest smile hung on his face as always.

“It really doesn’t hurt because I know my kitty is hurting for me.”

“Pfft! Fool!”

Liu Sisi trembled, unable to help herself as she hugged him tightly in his arms. In the place where he couldn’t see, a storm was gathering in her eyes.

Just a little bit, just a little bit… and he would have really lost his life!

And she would have lost him, never seeing him again!

Every time she thought of this, her heart seized with fear and tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks.

She knew long ago that Zuo Xingyu was up to no good!

But she didn’t stop him from going into the mountains.

Fortunately, he came back, alive. Otherwise, she would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life!

Zuo Xingyu! Zuo Xingyu!

If all this is the sin this Liu Sisi has committed, come at me then!

But you should never, never involve innocent people! I, Liu Sisi, will remember this debt!

He sighed softly. Women were said to be made of water, and now it seemed to be true! Gently brushing her cheek with a feather-like touch, he wiped away her tears.

“Sisi, don’t cry. It’s hard to avoid getting injured while hunting. Be good, listen…”

He comforted her softly, but her tears kept rolling down her eyes.

Gently brushing her cheek, he wiped away each tear, caressing the traces where they fell.

His warm breath sprayed on her eyes, causing her long, scallop-like eyelashes to flutter, gradually forgetting to cry.

His touch was so gentle, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.

Just like every time he was with her, the two gazed into each other’s eyes.
