Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Warm Feelings_1

As she returned home in the evening, Su Pan’er, from a distance, saw two figures under the shade of a tree, one big and one small, hunched over a desk, writing vigorously.

They did not realize even when she had walked right up to them.

This stout tree, flourishing at the edge of the courtyard, stretched out its braches and covered one corner of the yard very tightly.

Patches of sunlight poured through the gaps, casting beams of light on Qin Yi. It illuminated him, making him seem extraordinarily ethereal and dignified.

Unconsciously, Su Pan’er’s heavy-hearted feeling eased inexplicably.

She tiptoed silently to his side.

Ke’er, who was practicing writing strokes in the sand with a stick, was the first to notice her. She wanted to call out but was hushed by Su Pan’er!

Ke’er promptly stuck out her little tongue and lowered her head to resume her practice.

Only until Qin Yi finished writing a whole page, picked up the completed script, and saw Su Pan’er standing nearby in deep thought, did he stand up with a joyful face.

"Pan’er, you’re back? Why didn’t you call me? Were there any troubles?"

As he finished speaking, he reached out to hold her hand.

"I’m fine. Look, I’m perfectly alright."

Su Pan’er came to her senses and quickly pulled her hand back while glancing subtly at Ke’er.

Ke’er was covering her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter.

Seeing Su Pan’er look her way, Ke’er quickly feigned interest in the scenery in the other direction. Nevertheless, she couldn’t hide her laughter.

Qin Yi’s eyes twinkled but he was not very bothered about it. He casually took the basket from her hands, "That’s good to hear. Just give me a moment, dinner will be ready soon." With that, he walked into the house.

"Take your time."

Su Pan’er raised her voice and began to tidy up the papers on the table.

The characters written by Qin Yi were aesthetically pleasing, profound yet sharp and full of boundless intensity that revealed his unyielding spirit.

They say handwriting reveals the character of the writer.

His penmanship greatly contrasted his gentle demeanor.

"Fourth Sister, what did you bring back in the basket? I smell something fragrant."

Ke’er got up with the aid of a walking stick and sniffed around Su Pan’er.

Su Pan’er was immediately amused by Ke’er.

She put down the papers and tapped on Ke’er’s forehead with amusement, "You’re too clever. Your nose is even better than that of a puppy! Mama specially made some cakes for you. Go and eat!"

"There’s food? Yay! Mama loves Ke’er the most!"

Ke’er, beaming with joy, hobbled into the house with her walking stick.

"This child, the moment she hears about food, she doesn’t even bother clean up the writing brush, ink and paper."

Su Pan’er shook her head and started to tidy up the papers.

She suddenly stopped as she found a painting hidden beneath those papers. The art piece had a few simple strokes skilfully outlining mountains and a boat sailing against the wind. In the boat was a tiny figure, akin to a sesame seed, seemingly expecting something.

Was this painting done by Qin Yi?

Apparently, his heart was somewhat lonely, wasn’t it?

In a playful moment, Su Pan’er picked up the writing brush, dipped it in ink and wrote a famous couplet from Li Bai in the blank space: "One day the long wind will break the waves, and we’ll directly set sail for the vast sea!"

After writing, she blew on the ink to dry it, put the painting back with his other manuscripts, and packed up all the writing utensils before entering the house.

What would Qin Yi think when he saw this couplet? A slight smile appeared on her face.

From inside the house, the sound of Ke’er’s delightful laughter could be heard. Su Pan’er stepped inside: "What’s so funny? You seem really happy."

"Fourth Sister, Fourth Sister, there are three cakes! Brother-in-law ate one, here, this one’s for you."

Ke’er, all smiles, eagerly handed Su Pan’er a sesame cake. She was so pleased that her eyes squinted to a slit.

"This is made by mom for you, eat it slowly!" Su Pan’er pushed his hand away, put the writing tools back in the house, and then came back out.

"No way! I want my fourth sister and fourth brother-in-law to eat it together." Ke’er was in an unusually good mood.

"Alright, alright, I’ll eat!"

Su Pan’er took the cake: "You kid... If I didn’t know any better, I’d think your fourth sister and fourth brother-in-law were starving you. Slow down, you look too anxious."

"That’s not it!"

Ke’er took a big bite, his cheeks puffed out like a squirrel’s: "This is made by mom, of course it’s special. Hmph!" He raised his little head in triumph.

Though Ke’er may be young, you couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

"With your childish face, you still call yourself a little adult!" Su Pan’er shook her head repeatedly.

"What’s wrong with being a little adult? Little adults need to eat too." Ke’er turned his back with pride and continued eating his cake.

Su Pan’er picked up the sesame cake to take a bite, but after thinking for a bit, she went back into the kitchen.

Qin Yi had a printed cloth apron tied around his waist and was busy at the stove, giving off an aura of a family cook. His cheeks were moving constantly, with bits of sesame left on his mouth. The pot was sizzling with hot oil.

Noticing Su Pan’er out of the corner of his eye, his eyes lit up!

"The sesame cakes are delicious, have you had one?"

His deep and mellow voice was mesmerizing, and Su Pan’er laughed. She leaned against the door and watched him: "I’ve already eaten one when I was at my maiden family’s, do you want another one?"

"If you’ve already eaten, wait till later because we’re about to have dinner."

As he spoke, Qin Yi served up the dishes, placed them on a tray, rinsed a pot quickly, added half a pot of water and covered it.

"We’ll have bathwater later." He turned around and smiled at her: "Don’t stand there in a daze, it’s time for dinner."

His bright laughter stupefied Su Pan’er and she stared blankly, somewhat dazed.

After dinner, Su Pan’er couldn’t sit still, she took up the firewood knife and went out, soon returning with a bundle of Mao bamboo. She sat in the courtyard quietly splitting them into bamboo strips one and a half meters long, and one by one weaving them into mats.

As she was working, a rustling sound came from the other side.

Su Pan’er turned her head, Zhou Ning was walking towards Qin Family’s old house on the mountain road. On his shoulder, hung two mountain chickens and a hare.

"Pan’er, are you busy?"

Upon seeing her from afar, he smiled at her: "Here! I’m giving you a mountain chicken. Catch it!"

As he spoke, a mountain chicken was thrown over.

Su Pan’er instinctively reached out and grabbed the mountain chicken.

The chicken was heavy, weighing about five or six jin, and was fluttering in Su Pan’er’s hands.

"What’s this about?"

Su Pan’er raised up the mountain chicken in her hands.

"You keep it! This is my mom’s idea, don’t you dare decline it."

Zhou Ning’s laughter was particularly hearty, he scratched the back of his head casually: "My mom said, the medicinal ingredients you gave her last time were very valuable. I can’t afford to give you silver, this mountain chicken was hunted by me, it didn’t cost anything."

Is that so!

Su Pan’er initially wanted to refuse, but her raised hand was withdrawn halfway: "Well then, I’ll accept this mountain chicken. By the way, have you been hunting on the mountain?" A glint flashed in her eyes.

"Yes. However, I don’t plan to go to the mountain recently."

Zhou Ning nodded, hesitated for a moment but still warned Su Pan’er: "It was strange on the mountain today, not only were there two packs of wolves, but there were also several packs of wild dogs. I even heard a lion’s roar on the outskirts. It’s a rare sight even in August during the famine year. I think you better not go to the mountain recently either."

"That’s strange?"

Although Su Pan’er was saying that, she understood in her heart.

So many secret guards and soldiers were being slain by Ye Han and her on the mountain, it’s unknown how the secret guards dealt with those corpses afterwards.

Perhaps, it’s these corpses that have attracted the animals from deep within the forest.

Her eyes grew dark.

Ye Han and Fei’er are still in the mountains, Ye Han’s after-effects from the medicine are severe. If they have to confront these beasts, will they...
